Fortunately, the exact spot of the
agony of Jesus can never with Ger
tainty be identified. But we do
know, beyond any shadow of doubt,
that it was an olive grove some
where on this slope, overlooking the
city that He loved, that our Lord
resorted, as was His wont, for Sc
clusion and prayer. Thrice, under
the brilliant Passover moon, I have
gone out from Jerusalem and
climbed this steep hill to an I'M
fenced group of olive trees. that
might mediate upon the agony of
Him who bore the whole worlds sin
and sorrow into the Garden.
With Song on His Lips.
Even the casual reader of the life
OF Jesus cannot miss the clouded
spirit of impending tragedy which
hung over His last days. Again and
again He tried to break through the
dense misunderstanding of His lit
tie group of associates, that they
might share His feelings. At the
Last Supper He opened His over
flowing heart to them as never be-
fore, that they might know Him and
His mission. He had a rendezvous
with death. After the intimate. me-
mortal family meal, and the sublime
discourse that accompanied it, they
sang hymn, and set out for IA
miliar Olivet.
Yes, they sang hymn" In the
face of the supreme drama of time
and eternity, they poured forth the
jubilant strains of faith in the old
Hebrew Pslams. Not whip-driven
and terrified, but jubilantly, trium-
phantly, Jesus went forth to meet
His supreme hour. There was more
than courage in the conduct of the
Man about to die; there was victory
and peace. They are of the COM

pany Of Christ who can canfront
life's woes with a song.
The Three Who Slept.
Not all Of His friends mean the
same to Christ. He had, and has,
His chosen ones, the inner circle.
So Peter and James and John were
taken with Him to the very edge Of
the shadowed trees where He
prayed, the other eight remaining at
a distance. Only rare disciples are
far ben." as the Scotch say.
AS Jesus, alone, underwent the
agony Of the bloody sweat, q soul
turmoil that passes understanding,
the three friends slept. They did
not understand; any more than the
sleeping city of Jerusalem under
stood; or than we understand the
inner life Of those nearest and dear
est to us. Even the Farewell Supper
had not opened their eyes to the
poignancy of the hour. They repre-
sent the needless Church. II we but
knew what the present hour por-
tends, We, too, would be wrestling
in agony Of soul. I wonder how
many readers of these lines have to-
day prayed for the world in its suf-
fering and sin? We can share Geth-
semane only at the price of prayer.
Too profound for our Grass COM
prehension was the garden expert
ence of Jesus. The bitterness of the
cup He must drink; the awfulness
of the sin of mankind; the redemp-
tive love of the Father; all were
commingled in this midnight ses-
sion of supplication and surrender.
Alone, Jesus trod the winepress of
suffering Even the cross held no
such grief, for he had been made
ready for Calvary by Gethsemane.
The sting is drawn from every or
deal Of the soul when we can say,
Thy will be DONE"
The Traitor.
While the little band of IL made
their way along the dark and mar
row streets Of Jerusalem, toward
the gate that led to Olivet and the
East, Judas was bent on his dark
errand to the plotting priests. Love
OF money, and disappointed ambi-
ton, had turned this comrade into a
monster of disloyalty. For 80 pieces
of silver he revealed to the enemy
the familiar prayer place OF Jesus.

Rome's part was yet to be played
but he agreed to identify the Victim
by kiss. The depths of perfdy
were plumbed by this act. It was
no casual touching OF the lips to the
cheek of Jesus that Judas gave. AS
the Greek makes clear, he kissed
Him again and again, ardently, ef-
fusively. as the father kissed the
prodigal and as Mary kissed the feet
Of the Savior at Bethany. CThe same
Greek word is used in all three in
stancesl To what depths of dis
loyalty may broken love descend!
Yet during that act, the foulest
that has ever blotted the history of
humanity, Jesus called Judas
Friend" Thus lowest treason was
matched by highest loyalty.
