One night three of us, Americans, I went aat from onr hotel aear the Jaffs i Uata, and, crossing the eity, and the Brook Kedron, we elimbed the steep I road tip to the crest of the Mount of j Olives." Several times wo paused to f look back upon the eity at our feet. It naa, we know, upon just aueh a night, 4 with the effulgence of the full moon ? imthing the landscape, that our Lord "S went out for tha last timo to this hill f side which he loved, to bum upon the city of his desire. There lay Jerusalem, softened and ! lautiflrd by the moonlight. All the ' ugliness which sunlight reveals was gone. Nesr us, on the site of Rolo . mon'e Temple, rose the Dome of the hock. Other mosques with cupolas, : and tha two German church towers, and tha dome of tha Church of the Holy Hepnlehre, were elesrly traceable. The '' raster walls were visible: and here and there In the eity a feeble light ehone. J V, A beauty as of charity eaveloped it all; aad to the visitor coma thronging memories of the prophets, saints and martyrs; the soldiers, kings and travel rrs. who bsd felt the fulfillment of their hearts' desire in viewing the Holy City from this hillside made sacred by , tha supreme experience of tha Re- ; ilcemer. Something of his yearning , and compassion for this eity of David wells ap toward it, and all the other ' eitiaa which today shelter blindness and unbelief and sin and perplexity Over tha spirit there steals a sens of confidence; verily, tha travail at his soul shall be satisfied. Eve the pre. enca of the British soldiers symbolizes na aaswer to tha prayer ef Jesus. A Gardea. ml Fellowship. Ones this hillside aeheed to the shouts -f tha Bomaa aoldisra and tha Jewish tempi polios, as they exalted over the raptare of the Master. Formerly, it had tea a jubilant with tha hosaanaa ef the multitudes, who acclaimed him as Con uere9 Amid the shadows of these v rocks the rngatenoa disetpies scorned ; for eorer at the hour whea Jesus needed ! them most. Bat above all else, the mmsmv vmmw that this frieadlv hill 1 kid waa Christ's favorite place .of ! grayer. Eer he met tha Father: aad Vara all aaffering spirits meet him, ia 1 ha Gardea ef Fellowship.

J'Dra shadowy lanes, across Strang streams, Itridged ever by ear brokea dreams, liehiad the avistv aap of years, (lose to the great salt-fount of tears, The garden lie; strive as yon may, Voa eaanot miss it ia year way. ' All paths that nave been, or shall be, Pass aoroe there through Gethaemaae. repeatedly that, if it was possible, He might be spared that time of agony; aad He said: "'Abba I my Father! all thiois are possible for Thee: take thie cup of suffering away from ma: aad yet not what I desire, bnt what Thou desirest.' Then He came and found them asleep aad He said to Peter: "Simon, are yoo asleep! Had you not strength to keep awake a single bourf Be wakeful, all of you, and keep oa praying that you may not come into temptation: the spirit is right willing, bnt tha bodv is frail. "He again went awsy and prayed usina tha very same words. When He returned He again found them asleep, for they were very tired; und they knew not how' to snswer Him. A third time He ram aad then He said: "Bleep oa and rest. Knoug-h! The hour has come. Even now they are betraying the Son of Man into the hands of sinful men. Rouse yc r eives, let u, be going: my betrayer is close at hand.' Immediately, while .He was still njakin. Jnitsa.

Chamber in Washington when the Hen ate adopted. lor the first time iu its long history, the cloture to facilitate decision upon the peace trout. v. After it was all over a stranger sitting near asked: "Hare they adopted the cloture !' He had been tilting throngs ..tha, . pro eedure without being aware of it. One often wonders if that is ant true of many persona with respect to the great days throngh which tha world has been passing. They have missed the. meaning of it all. Privileged to be sure in his tory's most momentous period, they have slept through it, like the favored three at Uethsemsne.

All time that has been and will be focused its supreme tragedy upon this gray hillside. Our lesson story itself is more important thaa aay eommeat.

They were not asleep at their watch-post. To them, their own day was portentous with significance. They searched out the deeper meaning of things, even as ths wise are doing today.
