"Anil they led Jesus away to the high frl'M, and with Him were assembled all the jlil.'f priests, and the elders, and the acrtlxw." After the darkneM and agony of the garden, being strengthened - by an angel. Ho went forth to lay down His' lite of Ills own fcord (John x., 1A). The toastful dtscitdca forsook Him and fled (versos 81, 50). The young man ot verses 81. 6'i was probably Stark himself, as In other caeea the unnamed ne was doubtless the writer of the gospel (Luke xxlv., 1; John I., 40). Jesus lielng nounn (ionn xviii., it i, is ieu ns a lainn o the slaughter (Isaiah llll.. 7), for those be fore whom Ho was brought had long before determined to kill Him Math. ill., U, John St., K. 84. "And Feter followed Him afar off, even Into the ralace of the high tret, and lie s tl with the servants and warmed hlmwdf at the fire." The result of Fetor's following nfar off and being In bad company Is scou In versen 66 to 72 following the lesson. Hell confident Iwiastlngls very apt to lead to rash conduct, lnil company and many worse things, as In the case ol 1'eter. e must have noconflilenceln ourselves, but be strong Inthe Lonl ami let Him perfect His strength In our weakness (Full, ill., 3; Eph. vi., 10; II Cor. xil..

They were now seek ing some rcasou for their conduct, but could find none except In the wickedness of their own lii-arts.

"For many bare faNe witness against film, but thir witness agreed not togi'th or." It had been written that It should be so. "False wttuesses aro risen up against Me. and such as breathe out cruelty." False witnesses did rise up. They laid tu My charge things that I knew ut" (Fs. xxvll., 12; XXXV., 11). So every true followct ot Jesus mny expect to suffer wrongfully fot conscience toward Hod. may expect to suffet for well doing, and If under such clrcuin stauces we can lake It patiently d id Is well pleased (I Fet.

"And there arose certalu and bar false witness against Htm, saying, We heard Him say, I wllldi-etroy this temple that It made with hands, ami within tlini! days I will build another made without hands.'' Just what He did say, out of which they made this accusation, is found In Johu ii., l'.(. and If you compare Ills words with what they made I f I in say you may not fel so lad nlKiut some sayings of yours which havs come back to you somewhat perverted. The fat Is that we have no time to waste no feeling bad about slanders and false iwcusiv lions. Such things will continue till the Lord comes, and when He jiormlta them to come our way we must at once thank Him for the privilege of such fellowship (I These, v., 18; Fhll. I., 2'J), and referring the whole matter to Him just leave It with Him to I adjusted (but. II v.. 17). 6I. "But neither so did their witness agree together." (,'onsenuently there was no case against Him, and He should have been set free, (or their laws said plainly that one wit ness could not condemn; there must Is) two or three (leut. xvli.. 6; xlx., IS). How can we expect righteousness in a world which through Its most religious leaders thus treat ed the Lord Himself? His meek submission Is our example and make us think of th admonition. "Take wrong, be defrauded" (I Cor. vl.,7). AO. "And the high priest stood up In the mill and asked Jesus, saying: Auswerest Thou nothing.' What Is It which these wit ness against ThecV" He knew there was no - t ... n. -6ikKtyjrl)(M)S felt '0 ridiculous position in which they ftSra placed, and allowed his feelings to overcome him. According to the law, the witnesses had tuetifled nothing against Him, (or no two agred. III. "But He held Ills peace and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked lllm and said unto Him. Art Thou the Christ, ths Hon ol the Blessed'' There was nothing to answer, and In the calmness of conscious Innocence He was quiet. When eople seek our hurt, speaking mischievous things and Imagluing deceits all the .lay long, let us have grace to be as the deaf who hear not and as the dumb who open not the mouth, but just hope In the Lord (Fs. xxxviil., 12 15.) 62. "Ami Jesus said. I AM. and ye shall see the Hon of Man sit ou the rlgnt hand ol power and coming In the clouds ot heaven." This reply tnkea us back to the uame He used when He sent Moses to deliver Israel (F.x. HI., 14). He o'ten used It in the days ol Ills humiliation, for tu many coses where we read, "Iain He." the "He' is iu Italics, so that He really said "lam," as in John lv., 2)1; vitl., 21. 2"; Xlll., l'J; xviii., 8, 6. 8, etc. When He shall come In power and glory, as 11 said, It will be bringing His saints with Hlru according to Zech. xlv., 6; Judg. xlv., I The. Hi 13, and It will be for the re demption of Israel and for vengeance upon bur enemies (Dout. xxxil., 43; Isa. xxxlv., H; xxxv., 4: Ixlll., 4). 63. "Then the high priest rent his clothes and saltli. What need we any further wit ness?" This apparently holy wrath was all of the devil in the name of religion. To this day It may be seen. We should not be moved by' it. It Is often acou, even in religious people, in connection with this very truth ol the second coming ol Christ In power and glory. I.et one insist that Jesus Is coming with all His saints (Col. Hi., 4) for the con version of the Nation of Israel, and to set up the kingdom promised to l'avld with throne at Jerusalem, according to Jer. ill., 17; Luke I., .12, 3:1. etc, and he will probably be accused of perverting the truth to the de struction of his soul. 01.

Then Is much connection botweon the words and the thoughts as there is between the thoughts and the words ; the latter are not only the expression of the former, but they have power to ro-aot upon the soul and leave the stain of corruption there.
