You see, she hadn't known that there was any one in that bramble-tangle. “Why, Peter Rabbit, where under thé sun did you come from?" she ‘exclaimed Peter grinned. “I was right here all the time,” sald he. ‘Then Mrs. Grouse saw the hole in the snow and understood.

JESUS COMFORTS HIS DIs- CIPLES.—John ‘xiv.t-51. ~ Golden Text—I am ths way, and the truth, and the life; no ome cometh unto the Father but by Me—John xiv.6. Judas 1ifted the shadow from the Master, who recognized that the de- cision of the ome He had sought to save and train meant the rapid ap- proach of the cross. The Lord looked upon it as the hour of His glorifica- tion, but He could not allow it to come until He had corrected the spirit of the éieven loyal apostles, who were divided by their disputes and differences over the places of power they expected. In his desire to promote the spirft of brotherhood He gave His new commandment, something which He had not been in the babit of glving. He used the word “comumandment” only three times, His requirement that they love one another was not new, but His Insistence that they should love ons another as He loved them was new. It revealed their sclfishness. He made love the evidence of their fellowship wih Him. Then He pointed out to them His coming devarture. rist, in a gentle way, but nevertheless forceful man- ner, informed Peter that neither he nor any member of the apostolic band could follow Him for a season. The departure was to be permanent. His address, delivered with a view of keeping them from stumbling, filled them with distress. Facing the sep- | aratlon, they were not disturbed by | the crumbling away of the Messianic | political hopes, but their hearts were | breaking at His leaving them. They realized, possibly for the first tfme, what Jesus meant to them. Moved with the desira to wipe away the tears that probably were falling down the disciples’ cheeks and to give them courage during the coming trial, our Lord delivered to them the message that has never failed to bring com- fort to all who in their hour of trial have turned to that part of the Gos- pel of John assigned for our consid- eration today. The Untroabled Heart. Few can entsr tha valley of death with an untroubled heart, yet the Master urged upon the apostles that they should not aliow thelr hearts to be troubled by the approaching events. Facing death, the poise of Christ and His wourds were all di- rected toward the removal of the consternation and. excitement that revealed their distress and disturb- ance, provoked by the Lord's assur ance of His death. The approach of the reaper has brought similar trials to many a loyal follower of the| Christ. Jesus pointed out near the close of | the lesson how that He had given| unto them His peace in connection | with the advice with which He open- ed His message concerning the futu In the very commencement of His ad- dress. He had called upon them to have faith in God, Himself and the future life. If men woéuld ftust the Father, “who in hily love creates, sustalns and orders all” then the darkness ami- destructive power of death would disappear. It would have & new aspect. He also called upon them to belleva fn Him as their friend, brother, Savior and coming King, knowing that in a short time they would understand by His resurrec- tion the reality of the future life. The Master found in His experience | as a bullder of homes the word that described the life beyonsi Thers is no sweeter word in hunan speech than the one He used to describe the hereafter. Home is not made by bricks, wood or stome. It i3 the atmosphere of love that makes a home. In the Father's home there are many abid- ing places, which implies the perma- nency of Heaven. It was because the Lord knew that the future life would bo ons of eternal fellowstp that He assured the apostles that He would have Informed them if they were not to share the joys of eternal love and brotherhood in the permanent dwell- ing place that He has gome to pre- pare for them. During all the Chris- tian centuries Christ has beem pre- paring the places for those who love Him. There has been, during that time, & continuous call home for those who loved Him and trusted Him. He not only prepares the place for us, but He also is the way to the home In glory. “The destiny of the race is in His keeping, and He it Is who has come back to guide humanity up to its high destimation. The Eternal Way, The Lord in His teachings had made clear to the apostles that He was Eo— ing home to the Father by the way of the cross and resurrection, but Thomas in his confusion and doubt shared with the cthers the view that it was not necessary for the Master to dle. Thomas, who had revealed his courage by his proposal to return with Jesus from Perea to die with Him, interrupted the Lord's address with a question that revealed the problem of the aposties. During all their feilowship with Christ they had depended absolutely upon Him. They could not penetrate the future. They were not able to see the way to the homeland at the end of life's journey. God's program has usually been. to reveal a step at a time, %o as to de- velop faith and confidence in Him. The Master's reply brought the apos- tles back to the spiritual realittes by pointing out that the way fo eternity is not a method but a personality. It was necessary for the Lord to return to' the Father so that He could be- come the Iiving pathway to the heav- School Lesson | has through faith to Hve as the soms of God.

Greater Serviee. It is natural for people to fear that with the departure Lo eternity of the | founder of an institution that its work will be lmpaired. Jesus sought to comfort His disciples with the as- surance His death would serve to re- ease greater power for the dev ment of the church and the ad ment of the kingdom. He promised| them that this power would be be- stawed upon them in answer to pray- er. For the first time in His ministry the "Master used as a condition of prayer “in My name” Augustine called our attention to the fact “that prayer in Christ's name must be consistent with Christ's character, and that He fulfills it as Savior, and | therefore just so far gs it conduces | to salvation.” The secret of the fail- ure of any a petition being unan swered has been due to the fact that our prayers were selfish and not in accordance with the character of our risen Lord's love, life and labor. Obedience is a test of loyalty. ve love me, keep my commandment is an injunction that we wre apt to overlook in our daily'life. The new counmandment “to 10%e one another” is still binding upon_ His followers. It obeved it would do for us what it did for them. It would remove the differences which were then axisting among His followers, and promote a spirtt of mnity. Christ prayed that they might be one so that they could be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, whom He would send not only | to comfort them, but also enabled thhem by filling them with spirttual power to do greater works than they had seen the Lord perform At Pentecost the promise of Jesus was fultilled and the evidence of the unseen presence of the Lord was ap- parent. He came to abide with the churell and whenever the followers of Christ Jesus have been willing to do His will the evidence of greater efficfency and power has been appa- rent in greater service. Jesus did not leave His followers alone. He gave to them the comfort of faith, hope, companionship, leadership and reve- lation. He promised them not only of a place in the eternal home, but alsa the privilege of a still greater serv- ce if they prayed, loved and obeyed Him. In endowing His church with the Holy Ghost He fulfilled His promise and gave to us In the unseen Guide who walks by our side, a Lead- er who, if we walk in the Spirit, will help us to enter the “house eternal in the heavens to ba with Christ and the loved ones who await us in.glory, where we shall continue to serve our Lord and learn from Him throughout eternity.
