He had t>een bold enough to rebuke Judas for his mercenary outlook (John 12:7f.), and to point him out, during the paschal meal, as the ibetrayer. He even went so far as to warn them all of their disloyalty (John 13:31). But the disciples were slow to understand. Their ears were dull of hearing. Consequently, before they fully realised the true course of things, they found their Lord betrayed, denied, condemned! trasted fV all hlS'&fM^Bb: fw«uu tdfh hig'^haak iwoa hla ibbid. totr ,prioa of thirty piseds of flithy glhrew^'Biit It to a my»tety-ttat ilaoiltbuiaa to recur, ore? odd orur, fc ararr *^*®'®*‘*®' Vet, In the fact of the hetrayal we «»n«a* fhoa to tase with the work of Sateh as he eo^s, pentotentiy to oyerthrow the klncdom of our liordt- Judas to not the only pro- feeued: follower of Christ who, at some time or other, and in some measure,/haa betrayed.him.

BETRAYED Mark 14:10-11 In a few terse lines, Mark graphically portrays the tragedy of the betrayal: "And Judas Is cariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them. And when they heard It, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might con veniently betray him”. One of the twelve—how sorrowful those words sound now to us who love our Lord—one of his avowed fol lowers, and not one of his declar ed enemies, betrayed him. For a fuller account of the betrayal, read also the passage In Matthew (26:14-16). Matthew says Judas deliberately ihargained with the chief priests: "What are ye will ing to give me, and I will deliver him unto you?" This, says Vin cent, “brings out the chaffering aspects of the transaction”, and reveals (Bruce) the opposite roles of character In Mary (who had Just anointed Jesus) and In Judas: ‘‘she freely spending in love, he willing to sell his Master for money”. Matthew adds, “they weighed unto him (thirty pieces of silver" (Dr. Broadus says the “pieces" were probably shekels, “worth in our Lord’s time some thing over sixty cents” each), it will always remain a mystery— from the standpoint of purely human consideration—how, Judas, so deeply beloved by Jesus, and so I . / ® KDOYKI0WATT Vmt Urmtt I’m not knocked out often and. when I am. it takes a terrific wal- ,V lop.

Isn't It, “denied." And yet, that is exact ly the state of Jesus as he ap proaches his crucifixion. Just think of It, the Son of God, Jesus,, the Savior of the world, denied! Jesus knew that it would turn out that way, and he had warned his disciples; but they In their proud hearts and vain boastings had thought it Impossible, and had vigorously protested their loyalty. Peter had been so .bold as tO say. “Althougb all shall be offended, yet will not I . . . I must die with thee, I will not deny thee", and Mark adds, “And In like manner also said they all”. But they lit tle dreamed of the true character of the test tp which they would be subjected, as Jesus flaced the cross (How like his followers to day—those who bear vivid testi mony of their desires and pur poses In Christ Jesus; but who* in the hour of testing, forsake their vows). It Is revealing to note the con duct of Peter immediately preced ing his abject denial of • Jesus. There is a sort of gradual drift—- a fatal tendency .— that finally breaks into a torrent of infidelity as he declares himself to have n> part with Jesus. First we see him following him “afar off" (v. 58). He wanted to be near Jesus, but he dared not get near enough to Implioate himself. That would be dangerous. It might even cost him his life, for these men who had Jesus In their custody now were a determined group, and powerful too. Consequently, he stood back, away from the main action, and “warmed himself at the tire”. But he did not get to warm for long,” undisturbed, for it was soon suspected that he was MIbMos^Is ^ "'ll one of tho.se who had been prev- louely seen with Jesus—one of his company. What must he do? Should he make himself known and come boldly to the rescue of his Lord with his own testimony as to his goodness and greatness: He lad boast^ed he would, and that but a few hours before. No, he would not; he would deny him. And so, with Mtter cursing, he disclaimed any relationship with Jesus. Mark tells of how, upon Peter’s denial, the crowing of the cock was heard, as Jesus had predicted, and then closes the scene with the following piquant vords: ‘‘And when he thought thereon, he wept.” One can hardly leave the scene of Peter’s denial, and that of the other disciples'—for they all denied him in their owp way, “they all forsook him and fled" In his hour of trial—without asking himself the question: To what ex tent, and in what respect, have I denied my Lord, since first I be gan to follow Him? Only as we seek to ask and answer this ques tion with respect to our own life will the passage come to have vi tal meaning. CONDEMNED Mark 15:12-15 Our lesson closes with the oon- demnation of Jesus. After Jesus was betrayed, arrested and for saken, he was hurried throughi a series of trials, by his enemies, as a means of Justifying, in the public eye, the sentence of death which they would eventually im pose upon him. First, they had Jesus examined by Annas, the ex- high priest (John 18:12-14; 19-23). Prom there, they go to the residence of the high priest Ciuphas, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together. There he Is hurriedly tried and condemned, while they mock and buffet him. Both of these so- called “trials” were conducted, apparently before dawn on Friday morning. When morning was come, therefore, the Sanhedrin gathered in formal assembly and ratified the condemnation that bad been previously declared by the high priests (Luke 22:60-71). From there on, the road to his death was shout and certain. Quickly he was arraigned before the Roman procurator, Pilate (John 18:28-38), before Herod Antlpas, the Galilean rnler (Lnke 23:6-12), and finally again before Pilate (Mark 16:6-15). Pilate gave the l>eople the opportunity to choose between Jesus and Bamb- baa. They chose Barabbau, leav ing Jesna condemned. Sven' ao, men todlay choose materialism with all its vain promises, emd leave condemned their only Savior, Jesus of Nazareth. V BUY MORE WAR BONDS “I’ve' tUceu over limu ‘ soldier's place in the Army. I'm work I enjoy, and I’m hUTln^’iuii 2Iin fact. I’m enjoyln* ererytlto# in the WAC thoroughly," says CpI. Rebecca 0. Moseley, former North Wllkesboro teacher, who to visiting here whUe oa furlongh from her station at Tyndjrtl field, Florida. In her work as librarian in Spectol Services at Tyndall field, Cpl. Moseley works'in shifts with two army men who are soon to be replaced toy WACs. A working khbwledge of the Dewey decimal system helped Opl. Mosrtey In be ing placed ih t^e library.' “All the WACs at Tindall Held are really happy Where they are”, ■Cpl. Moseley chuckled, thinking of some of the afteT'^work fun the girls have had. “There ar® dances two or three times a week, the post movies, a recreation hall, bowling alleys where tournaments are now being held, all kinds of entertainment organized by a WAO In special services, USO shows—incidental ly, we’re going to have the Camel Caravan visit us soon”, added Cpl. Moseley. When Cpl. Moseley left North Wllkesboro April 27, 1943, after teahhing here ^several years, she went to Daytona Beach for her basic training. On completion of basic training, she was sent to Newark, N. J., where she attended the radio mechanic school for 13 weeks. She was an instructor In the Waller trainer, a panoramic gunnery trainer, when she finish ed her schooling. While in school, Cpl. Moseley took to heart the adage “All work and no play, etc.” and spent al most every week-end in New York City where she took In everything from seeing EHhel Barrymore In “The Corn Is Green", Arturo Tos canini, and the New York Phil- hafmonlc, to taking in, the lighter things such as visiting the popular night clubs. From New Jersey, Cpl. Mose ley was sent to Tyndall field as an instructor in the Waller trainer. When she arrived there in Sep tember there were only about one- third of the 150 WACs now sta tioned there. Soon after arriving in Florida, there was a desperate need for another librarian and Opl. Moseley was assigned to the Job since the trainer division could spare her at the time. “The WACs are doing'shch a good Job at our field,” states Cpl. MoMley, ‘Hho’Aray offloert tor more of n« and huvsl .eyuo' gone tk> fur'aa to begin more WAOfbdmMtU in ttjy: the atoe ot the detadbmwt ^ TFndall Held oau toelM»iBa(«a"T' 'rW met girls froih California, How Mexleo, Hew York, Mlnne- eota, and the Carollnaa, Veatdea thoee fidm many othargn|tea.” > Bays CM.
