Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, March 10.—Ministers of various creeds in Baltimore differ as to whether a definite Sundav should be set for Easter, instead of having it change each year, as it does at present. Those who favor having a definite day set do so on the ground that it would be more convenient in arrang- ing church calendars and financial affairs, and that if it were always in April a larger attendance on the day ‘would be assured. The clergymen ob- ,Jcmlns to a change did so on the | Eround of precedent and tradition and the difficulty of bringing about a change. Archbishop Michael J. Curley of the Catholic Archdlocese of Baltimore, said he could ses no reason for met- ting a definite Sunday. He admitted it might be more convenient in some ways, but said he saw no harm in having the date change from vear to year. Objects Yo Set Date. Rev. Dr. Arthur B, Kinsolving, reo- tor of old St. Paul's Protestant Epis- copal Church, was most decided in his objection to setting a definite date. He sald: “The present method of de- termining the Sunday for Easter has survived nineteen centuries of Chris- tianity, and I do not see why it should not ba continued.” Rev. Dr. Alfred H. Barr. pastor of First Prosbyterian Church, sald he did not approve of interfering with a custom of such long standing when it would “desiroy the associations connected with Easter.” Rov. John G. Fleck, an Evangelical Lutheran pastor, is one of those who favor having”Easter set as the second Sunday in April. “Having It that late in the spring,” he said. “would insure a larger church attendance on Easter, a8 the weather is usually better and there is less sickness than s felt earlier in the year. Rev. Dr. J. Martin Gillum, director of the Wast Baltimore district of the Methodist Epfscopal Church, agreed that it would be better to have Easter o ntabliized rather than a movable ete.” i —_— FOURTH LENTEN SERMON.

STEVENSON. JESUS IN GETHSEMANBE. . Luke, 22.1-73, Goldne Text—Christ also suf- fered for sinse once, eous for the he might bring us to 1 Peter, 3.18. Gethsemane marks the final turning point in the life of our Lord His experience there made it the world's garden of suffering; sorrow and strug- gle. His agony there has assoclated the word in human thought with the deepest sorrows of human life. It calls for meditation rather than ex- position, No experience in His life has revealed His humanity like His agony in the garden. It was an hour without parallel in history, Many have found, when they have been called upon to enter their Gethsemane, a source of strength by recalling the Master's agony in the garden, where the olives wero pressed into ofl by the feet of men. Our Lord entered it alone. Prophecy was fulfilled that memorable night, Ho could have said in truth, “I have) trodden tho winepress alon His suffering was so intense that His! body “was invelved in the agony of the soul until tho sweat was, as it were, great drops of blood.” Geth- memane waw more than a place of eor- row, it was the site of the world's greatest victory. experience of the Master was & he roic struggle. silence of th night he fought the battle of Cal vary. Within the limity of that gar den history's hollest character met and defeated the darkest one in & battle for supremacy. No other per- sOn ever faced such am hour as our Lord. No other loved humanity like the Christ, It was in Gethsemane that Jesus’ won the triumph of the cross. He entered as He left the gar. den, calm and confident of victory. Ho 'won this battle as we must win those that we are called upon to face | at the ofl press by thinking of others rather than sclf. Wellington claimed that he won Waterloo upon tho cam- pus at ISton. Like Jesus, we must win our battles before we enter the contest. Sccret piwyer will fit us as it did Iiim with power to win During all His minlstry Jesus had faced the cross. He sought to pre- pare the apostics for their darkness and trial. He approached Jerusalem conscious of His enemy's plans. He tried to win them. He sought to pre- vent Judas from betraying Him. An unknown friend demonstrated hislove and loyalty by providing the upper room, with all the accessories, for the observance of the Passover. The Lord took advantage of that service to fit tho disciples for the coming conflict His message concerning the future, recorded by John, has helped many a heavy-hearted soul to.endure when it has entered tho valley of the shadow. He not only assurcd them of a future place in the Father's home. but by the institution of the Lord's Supper He provided a memorial thut would testify throughout the centuries how “Christ alto has suffered for sins once, tho righteous for the unrigh eouy, that he might bring us to God” and prophesy of future fellowship with Him, when wo shall partake with Him of the bread and cup at His coming. He saw in the wrecks of humanity with which he proposed to build ifs kingdom strifo over position of pre- eminence. Ho sought to correct this by the fmpressivo object of servico when He waslcd their feol. While He_ thus emphasized the beneficence f of love in the moving strife, he called | upon them to be prepared even to the | oxtent of providing a comm v equipment for defense. Christia service calls for the use of evory re- | source and capacity of the human soul and body. The Christian is nonc the less a man. The hour comes when | e {8 a duty. Gustavus Adol- phue, Chinese Gordon, Stonewall ! Jackson, Howard, Allenby, Foch, Per- ghing and Gen. Feng have demon- | strated that they were truly follow- ers of Christ when leading their armies, as much as when upon their knees. Reaching the garden's outer gate Jesus left clght of tho apostles to! wurn Hin of approaching danger. | Three of the number He took with Him until he reached His favorite place of praver. Leaving them there our Lord went alone Into tho soli- tude, whero Ho was accustomed to pray, to pour out His soul in prayer. There, beneath the olive trees, it may be said that the expiation of our sins bewan. Here Jesus felt the bur-| den of sin. He staggered under its| load. While it is impossiblo for us to penctrate the deep recesses of Geth- semane, the striking passage in the Epistlo’ to the Hebrews furnishes key to its meaning, the experfence | of the garden being closely connected with His being “called of God and High est after the order of Meichisedec.” This thought of Him as our High Pricst is a torch to enlighten for us the darkness of the garden's gloom. | Reverently we may conceive then of | {Him as in that hour taking on Him-} self the sin of the world, in a more| lintimate sense than ever before. Not! before Cafuphas, not at Pilate’s juds- finent ccat was' the issue to bo de-| leided. but here and now before the | wn of morning. Like the drama ot 'nmn,\' other souls, it is played in the darkness of the night and alone with God. If in this special sense Christ sumed the awful burden here, can | jwe wonder that He who was with-| ut sin shrank from being “made | in? { 1t was the purity of soul and snirnt jthat made Mim shrink, that wrung !from 1is body beads of blood and | {from His heart the thrice-repeated srv, “Father, if it be possible let this! up paxs from me.” It was only | jnew form of the temptation of the! wilderness. but with a full reali tion of the bittcrness of tho cup.) Christ acknowledges obedience to| Divine law. “Not what T will, but} what Thou wilt.” Jesus was praving | to “One” who could hear and answcr | prayver. He tells us that He was! nigh unto death. Probably the cup referred to a possible miscarriage of | the eternal plans of redemption. The | strain of His campaign had probably affected His heart. He recognized that He was near to death and that| the world's salvation would be d feated unless He went to the cross.| In answer to His cry our Lord re- ceived strength from above so that! He was enabled to complete the work | of salvation. Few who have reached the age of maturity have not passed through a Gethsemane which has left its; mark upon thelr soul. When we come to the “oil press” there we must | decide between following God's will | or our own. As we think of Geth-| i i - NOTE—No Meeting at Central Y. M. C. A, Y. M. C.

Eden, the beautiful, ylelds these lower im- pulses, as there is no resistance against the downward tug and the postle is swept on to that awful end of any life, sulcide. The allurement of sordid gain decelved him, and the apostle begomes a thlef, and worse. We_must ever remember that prior to his fall Judas was a disciple in good and regular standing, trusted with the office of treasurer, probably because of his thrift and business sagacit: But the break comes when Christ roundly condemns him for his critl- oism of the noble Mary for wasting the Er-nlou- ointment. Stung to the quick, ‘then” he goes to the priest with the question, “What will you give me?" If there 1s one who does not belleve that the wages of sin 1s death,” let him study the life of this disciple. The ruin of his soul was, we may conclude, the result of forces ever working upon human hearts, or as one writer has sald, “Aspiration, vocation, fallure, degradation—it is the summary of a thousand lives.” Let us pass over the revolting de- tails of the betrayal and the suicide, 80 closely connected by the remorse of Judas. We must note, however, that Judas was not repentant and | that these feell: are not at all syn- | onemous. Judas' remorse expressed iteelf in confession to the priests, “I1 have sinned In that I betrayed inno- cent blood.” We hava every reason 10 believe that he ncver confessed to his God, for if he had, his ultimely end would have been averted and he would have thrown himself into the breach in an effort to make some re) aration. As it was, we-can belleve that his remorse was occasioned by a desire to escape the results of his n, nothing more, As woe see the awful catastrophe that befell Judaa, resulting from s common to us all, there comes the injunction of the Paalmi ‘Guard thy heart with all diligences, lor out of It are the {ssues of life.” If our study teaches us this lesson, it will not have been in vain, and we may b saved from cruclfying afresh our Lord and Master. e KINNEAR CLASS DINES.
