Each event in our Saviour's life possesses superior interest; yet high above all our oth ers rises his last transactions in humsn flesh. He had finished his career as a man of sor rows had closed his toil and travel in preaching the Kingdom of God had endur-. cd the mockery of trial, and had lieard the hatsh clamor of "cricify him! crucify him!' He had been spit upon, smitten, scouraged, end forsaken by men, and betrayed into the hands of enemies by pretended friends. He had become the Lamb of Calvary, thereby taking away the sins of the world ven at that place, infamous and noisome with slaughter derivingjie name from the loath some remains of executed criminals. The hols had been dug in which to plant the cross the hammer and the nails were made ready; the cross was placed on the ground; Jesus lay down upon that bed of sorrows. Thev nail him to it; they eiectit; his nerves break; his blood flows; he hangs upon his wounds, a spectacle to.heaverf arid earth 1 - "He dif, the ffieed of sinner dies; Lo Salem's daughters weep aroOnd; A solemn darkness veils the skies, A ud den. trembling hk-4h-g?

' There is irhpressiveness in the scene at the last interview with earthly friends; even though wo hope to meet again in love's in dissoluble ties. To part at the bed-side of a dying friend is painful, and yei pleasure is in the pain, if the "sure and certain," of a re-union in heaven beams upon the heart. So this Olivet scene was one of hope to the tired friends of the Saviour, for although he went from them to heaven without speaking further of hisrreturn, .two angels in shining garb tarried, and assured them thst 'in like .manner as they had seen him go up into hea ven, he should comer gain.:' 'Twere well that the lmmanuel those Olivet's grove-clad mountains from which lo ascend.

It had been a place of deep la mentation to Jeans ; but How he makes i monument that ahall perpetuate his honor. On Olivet he spoke in human voice to his loved ones' for the lost time; there he gives them his last look of love, and receives theirs with all its lingering fragrance of asso ciation to be renewed no more during their mortal life: then he exhibits his divine pnw er, by stepping into his cloudy chariot: and entering glory, lie stands on Mount .ion Over-looking the masses of the people who reiected bis easy reign, and denied his Mes siahship, while his hands were yet red with innocent blood, stood Immannel, as Zacha. riah had foretold: "His feet shall stand on the'Mouni oTOlives belure Jerusalem; shall stand last there."

In this way he managed to conceal the matter; bul (his time be was to sick the physician would not let him coma off his bed. sml so he msde a virtue of necessity, and disclosed the whole thing.

On retiring to Teat at night, he call ed his Urge iUn. to go with him. but the landlord objected.
