The subject of our lesson for next Sunday is Jesus in Gethsemane. The events follow very closely those of last Sunday's lesson. It is the hour of darkness. A trai tor lurks in the background. Jesus is in agony and prayer. His disciples fall asleep. The angel of the Lord appears. Jesus is betrayed by the kiss of Judas, and Pleter denies h i s Christ. I t is the account of a series of start l ing events, highly dramatic in character .

Jesus then told him he would deny his Lord three times before the cock's crow. Jesus knew tha t Peter would not -be able to confess Him before men under the circumstances of t ha t night. Nevertheless the fact remains that Peter was a free moral agent. He could have =tocd firmly for his Christ had he had fai th to believe he could.

THE MINISTER'S THREE MINUTES

At Biible school last Sunday Rev. Hulme told us tha t we are all sales-men or salesladies. The essential points in selling are:

1. Know the goods tha t you are selling.

2. Be sold yourself. 3. A spirit of enthusiasm is es-

sential. We might ask ourselves, how

good a salesman are we when it comes to selling spiritual things.
