In the garden they paufed soon aftwr they had
entered It. The majority of them retrained there;
lad, speaking sortly, began to maff*rsN. tt (jy for
their sleep, outspreading their cloaks over the
transparent embroidery of the shadows and the
moonlight Jesus, tormented with uneasiness, and
four of his disciples went further Into the depth
of the garden The,re they seated themselves on
the ground, which had not yet cooled off from the
heat of the day, and while Jesus was silent, Peter
and John lazily exchanged words almost devoid of
any meaning Suddenly Jesus rose quickly.
My aoul, 1« exceedingly sorjowful. even unto
death; tarry ye here and watch with me." he said
and departed hastily to the,.grove and soon disap
peared amid Its motion less shades and light
"Where did he go?" said John, lifting hi nisei t
on hhs elbow. Peter turned his head In the di
rection of Jesus and answered fatiguedly:
"I do not know "
And he yawned again loudly, then threw himself
•n his back and became silent The others also
became ailent, and their motionless bodies were
soon absorbed Into the sound sleep of fatigue.
Through his heavy slumber" Feter saw vaguely
aomethlitg white bending over, some one's voice
resounded and died away, leaving no trace In his
dimmed consciousness
"•Simon, are ££U sleeping?" .
And he slept again, and again some soft voice
reached MB ear and died away without leaving
any trace.
"*Y»u not watch with me even one hour?"
'"Oh, Master! if you only knew how sleepy 1
am, ' he thought in his slumber, but It seemed t*
him that he said it aloud he slept again
And n long time seejned to have passed, when
suddenly the figure' of Jesus appeared near him,
and a loud,' rousing voice instantly awakened him
and the others:
"You are still sleeping and resting? It is ended
the hour has come- the Son of Man-Is betrayed
Into the hands of the sinners "
• »••••• "• • « «
The disciples quickly sprang to their feet, con
fused I v seizing their cloaks and trefnbllng from
the cold of the sudden awakening. Through the
thicket or the trees a multitude, of warriors and
temple servants was seen approaching, noisily
Illuminating their way with torches. And front
the other side the disciples came running, quiver
ing with cold, their sleepy faces frightened; and
not yet understanding what was going on, they
ashed hastily: ■»
"What is It? Who are these people with
torches?"
Thomas, pale faced, his mustaches In disorder,
his teetli chattering from chilliness, said to Feter:
"They have evidently come after us "
Now a multitude of warriors surrounded them.
—it the smoky, quivering light of the torches
drove away somewhere the soft light of the nioou
In front of the warriors walked quickly Judas
lacarlot. and sharply turning his quick eye, he
waa searching for Jesus, lie found him, rested
for ap instant his look upon his tall, slender fig
are, and quickly whlsprred to the priests:
"Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he
Tfche him and lead him Lead him
cautiously, do you hear?"
Then ho quickly moved to Jesus, who waited
•ar him in' alienee, and he directed hia straight,
■harp look, like a knife. Into hls p calm, darkened
"Hail, Master!" he said loudly, - charging his
worda or usual greeting with a strange and stern
—ntng.
But* Jesus was silent, and the disciples looked
■k the traitor with horror, not understanding how
tfca aoul of a man could contain so much evil,
laeaiiot threw a rapid glance at their confused
naka, noticed their quiver, which was about to
tara into a loud, trembling fear, noticed their
pallor, their senseless smiles, the drowsy move
aaenta of their hands, which seemed as though fetr
tared ta Iron at the shoulders —and a mortal sor
mm I)man to burn in his heart, akin to the sor
■W Christ had experienced before. Outstretching
fctaaetf into a hundred ringing, sobbing strings,
rushed over to Jesus and kissed bis cold
cfestk tenderly. He kissed it so softly, to ten
dtartjr. with auch painful love and sorrow, that if
Mm a had been a flower upon a thin stalk he
woald not have shaken from this kiss and would

"Ma," said Jeaus, and with the lightning of

shadows which was Iscarlot a soul, but he could
not penetrate Into the bottomless depth. "Judas!
Js II with a kiss you betray the Son of Man?"
And he saw how that monstrous chaos trembled
and stirred Speechless apd stern, like death It
Its haughty majesty, stood Judas Iscnriot. and
within him a thousand Impetuous and fiery voice*
groaned and roared
"Yea! We betray thee with the "Hciss of love!

call together the hangmen from t'aelr darlr-lioleH,
and we place a cross and high over the top of
the earth we lift lover, cruslfied by love upon a

' • Thus stood Judas, silent an*i cold, like death,
anil the shouting and- the noise about Jesus an- 4
swered the cry of his soul. With the rude lr
resoluteness of armed force, with the awkward
ness of a vaguely understood purpose,'the soldiers
seized hint and dragged him somewhere —their
Irresoluteness they mistook for resistance, their
fear they mistook for derision antl mockery over
them. Like a herd of frightened lambs, the dis
ciples stood huddled together, not Interfering with
anything, yet disturbing everybody and even
themselves. Only a few of them resolved to walk
flhd~act separately. Jostled from all sides, Feter
drew out the sword from Its sheath with dllllculty,
as though he had lost his strength, and famitly
lowered It upon the In d of one of the prleSta—
without causing him any harm. JeßUs, who t|o
ticed It, ordered him to throw down the unneces
sary sword, and, clanking faintly, «the sword fell
to the ground
Thus It remained there, until many days later
children at'play found It aiul made a toy of It.

When Jesus was led away Peter, who
had hidden himself behind the trees, came out and
followed Itls Master In the distance. Noticing an
otlrer man lit- front of him. who walked silently,
he","bought that it wntt John, and he called him
soft l> : ?
"John, Is that you?"
1 "And Is that you, Feter?" answered the other.
, pausing, and ..by the voice Peter recognized the
Traitor. "F' why did you not run away to
gether with the others?"
Pqter stopped and sayl with contempt: ,
'**'Tteave me, Satan!"'V
Judas began to paying no further at
tention to' Feter, he w'ent farther, there where the
torches were Pushing dimly and where the clank

Feter followedshlm cautiously, and thus they en

who were warming themselves at the bonflres.
Judas warmed his bony haj ds rtiorosely at the

derstand what you are saying."
Without turning around, and smiling Involun
tarily, Judas shook his head afilrmatively and
muttered:
u "That's right, Peter! Do not give up your place
near Jesus to anybody."
And he did not see how the frightened Peter
walked away trom the courtyard. And from that
night until ffie very death pf Jesus Judas did not
see a single one of the disciples of Jesus near
him, and amid all that multitude there were only
two, inseparable until death, strangely, bound to
" gether by sufferings—fte .who had" been betrayed
to abuse and torture and he who* had betrayed
him. Like brother, they both, the betrayed and

stretching hiipself, clung to the windows, to the
crevices in the doors, and looked greedily to see

. . And suddenly all became si

In an instant Judas' head was filled
with the roar and shout of thousands
of infuriated thoughts Have they
guessed? Do they understand now

Is so simple, so clear. What are they
doing there now? They kneel before
him and weep softly, kissing his feet.
Now he will come out here, and they
will follow him meekly, crawling after

cold glance And suddenly Ircarlot saw as clearly
as 1 Is terrible victory, also Its ominous uncer
tainty What if the people should suddenly un
derstand? It was not too late as yet. Jesus was
Htill alive. There he was calling with his sor
rowful eyes. . .
What was It that prevented the thin covering
obstructing the eyes of the people from bursting?
And suddenly they would understand Suddenly
they would all move forward, in a stern mass of
men, women and children- silently, without any
outcries, and they w r ould wipe out the soldiers,
sink them in their own blood, tear out of the earth
the accursed cross, and the hands of those who
would remain amo ig the living would lift h'gh

It almost stopped, so that he felt like pushing It

sought some support In vain. There Mary of
Magdula was crying There the mother of Jesus
was crying Let her cry. What mattered her
tears now, the tears of nil mothers, of all women
on earth-!
■ esus was dying 'ls it possible?,. Yes. Jesus
was dying. His pale hands were motionless, but

grew fainter. Then It stopped. No, there came
another sigh— Jesus was still on earth. And then
another one? No. No. No Jesus died.
It was all over. Hosannah! Hosannah! , .
Judas stopped and surveyed with cold eyes the
new, small earth. It had become small, and he
felt as thought It was all under his feet; he looked
at the small mountains, quietly reddening In the
last rays of the sun, and he felt the mountains
were under his feet; he looked at the slty, which
opened Its blue mouth wide, he looked at the
round little sun, which was vainly trying to scorch
and to blind—and he felt the sky and the sun un

... Judas had long selected a place where
he would kill himself after the death of Jesus. It
was on a mountain, high above Jerusalem, and,
there stood only one tree, bent, half decay& and
tossed by the wind, which tore It on all sides.
One of Its crooked branches was outstretched to
ward Jerusalem, as If blessing or threatening It,
and Judas chose that branch for fastening the
noose upon It . . Within two days Jesus of

earth.

LESSON FOR DECEMBER 21
DIVISION OIF THE LAND.
LESSON TEXT—Joahua 14:1-14.
GOLDEN TEXT—"Seek ys Hrst ths
kingdom of God and bis rtghteouaiMM;
and all these things ih&ll be added unto
you."—Matt S:J3. ;
Following the defeat at AJ we »ee
Joahua building an altars! Bbal (ch. i)
and reading again "all that Mosee
commanded" (v. 35), to the Israelite#
and the strangers as well. Then fol
lows an sccount of his campaigns. A
military critic has clsssed Joshua with
the Alexanders, Caesars, Napoleons,
Wellingtons and Grants of all ages.
His desllng with ths Qibeonites und
its after effects was one error In his
campaign, for he failed to take coun
sel of Jehovah. At the close of the
war (ch. 11) Joshus is ready to divide
the long-promised Inheritance, chap
ters 12-21.
Those left behind, vv. 1-6. Head
carefully Numbers ch. 32 to recall ths
story of those who,, like Lot of old,
saw good gracing land sud chose it In
preference to that on the farther side
of Jordan, that possessed by the "chil
dren of Anak." Subsequent history
reveals the foolishness of their choice,
for they were the first to fall before
the enemies of Israel when the king
dom was broken up. The Levites
\'v. 4} were not to have a portion but
rather they were to dwell In selected
cities with suburban property.
Caleb Not an Israelite.
11. Caleb claims his inheritance,
vv. 6-12. Joshua was old and stricken
in years (13:1) and now Israel is be
fore him, each of the remaining nine
snd one-half tribes, to have appor
tioned unto them a permanent dwel
ling place after the long years of wil
derness wandering, and the more re
cent campaign of subjugation. Before
Joshua casts the lot. however, Caleb
recalls the promise Moses had made
to him 45 years before (v. 10). Prom
a comparison of V. 6 R. V., Oen. 15:19
and Josh. 15:13 It appear* that Caleb
was'hot an Israelite by birth, but nev
ertheless he claims an inheritance
among them, based upon the promise
of Moses, "the man of God," because
he had "wholly followed the Lord my
God" ▼. 9. His name literally means
"a dog"—yet this dog of a Gefftlle got
more than the crumbs that fell from
the master's table. Mstt. 16:26. Caleb
rested upon the sure word of God. and
to remember this promise was not an
act of selfishness. How those events
In the vjalley of Eschel must £ave
stood out In the memory of Caleb and
Joshua. They remembered how their
companions caused the hearts of the
people "to melt" Num. 14:37. That
day's work was one of serious results
and so shall It be for their imitators
of the present day. To see the giants
and not; as Caleb.' to see God had
brought death. In his heart, however,
Caleb treasured God's word and now
at eighty-five he has not alone been
"kept alive," but he is as strong as
on that day, when In the prime of his
manhood, Moses had sent him forth
with the twelve.
Remembered God's Promise.
111. A promise fulfilled vv. 13-15.
Joshua at once recognizes the Justness
and validity of Caleb's claim. Ho re
membered God's promise. Num. 14:24-
SQ; Deut 1:36-38, therefore he at once
grants the request and adds to it his
blessing. Hebron, means "Joining,"
"union," "fellowship." Thus we see
Caleb entering Into all the rights,
privileges snd blessings ol any of the
descendants of Jacob. Is this not
typical of our privilege in Christ Je
sus? John 16:6; 14:20; I. John 1:*.
See also Matt 8:11, ll The only con
dition Is that of faith in God and in
his Word, Gal'. I Jl. 26, 29. 'Thus faith
In the case of Caleb is revealed as the
principle which follows fully, waits pa
tiently, asks for new opportunities for
Its exercise, snd gains finally g vio
tory."—J. Campbell Morgan.
The Golden Text The essential
value of this lesson is expressed In
these words of our Lord. To seek the
kingdom of God and his righteousness
first Is the mattsr of supreme impor
tance snd Involves following the Lord
fully. Frequently, constantly, this
means a long postponement of the
day of bur visible vindication. Yet
such postponement is not the result
c? the eapriciousness of Gog, nor is
It delayea beyond 'the hour necessary
for the working out of the plans of
Jehovah, in accordance with the very
best means.. As Caleb waited thoee
46 years his strength waxed not, and
all things needful were supplied. The
point is not so much that he at last
gained the Inheritance, but that dar
ing the period of waiting his suste
nance snd his raiment were provided.
All through the year w« have been
hearing of promises which were con
dition!! upon loyalty to God and obe
dience to his will. Today we see a
fulfillment of the promise made ovsr
and over again that Isrsel should pos
sess the Promised Land. Dr. J. Wil
bur Chapman asksd Gen. William
Booth for the secret of his success in
' the SalTation Army and his reply was,
"Ood has had all there was of me.*
Caleb's was a vigorous, happy old
aie; he had. not wasted anxkms
thought on the morrow; he kept alive
his Interest In the ever-throbbing pres
et
