Hearing footsteps, he took refuge behind a screen, where he was forced to remain for a considerable time. From eight to nine o’clock the eld est daughter had a singing lesson. From nine to ten o’clock the second daughter took her piano lesson. From ten to eleven o'clock the eldest son had a violin lesson. From eleven to twelve another son received a lesson on the flute. At a quarter past twelve all the brothers and sisters got together and studied an ear-splitting piece for voice, pi ano, violin and flute. The burglar staggered from be hind the screen at a quarter to one, and, falling at their feet, cried: “For heaven’s sake send for the police!’’ • On Schedule Mandy Ma’am, may Ah be ’sensed from work Saturday to go to my husband’s funeral?

Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for March 12 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International I Council of Religious Education; used by permission. JESUS BETRAYED, DENIED AND CONDEMNED LESSON TEXT: Mark 14:10, IX. 53, 54, GG 72; 15:12-15. GOLDEN TEXT: He is despised and re jected of men; a man of sorrows, and ac quainted with grief.—lsaiah 53:3, The time had come! Jesus was about to be condemned and cruci fied; and though sinful men thought thus to rid themselves of the One who had pierced their hypocrisy and unveiled their unrighteousness, His death was, in the providence of God, j the giving of Himself for our sins. What He endured as He went to ) the cross is enough to break one’s I heart, for here we see the denial, betrayal and compromise of men. I. Christ Sold for Money (14:10, 11). When one sees the awful things which have been done and are be ing done for money in this world, it becomes clear why the Bible re peatedly calls it “filthy lucre.’’ “Money! How many awful things have been done for money. How many dishonest officials have se- J cured high places in government by i money! How many people have lost j their lifesavings because some shrewd, crooked broker schemed to take their money away, because he wanted it. How many millions of people have been kept in poverty because men cared more to increase their wealth than they did to relieve the distress of those who worked for them . . . Money is what keeps the dance halls going; a lust for money is what keeps our breweries and dis tilleries open; it is money that makes men want to produce lascivi ous plays and motion pictures” (W. M. Smith). Fundamentally, it was the love of money that made Judas betray his Lord. “What will ye give me?” was his question (Matt. 26:15). But money is not the only price with which men may be paid. W* find next— 11, Christ Deserted for Comfort (14:53, 54). Peter would not have risen to the suggestion that he sell his Lord for money, so Satan was too smart to stir his loyalty by such a suggestion. He used another method with Peter. Things had become very difficult for our Lord. He was led away to be falsely accused and subjected to persecution. It was no longer com fortable to be at His side, as it had been when He fed the multitude and healed the sick, and silenced His enemies. This was cold unpleasant business. Why should Peter get mixed up in it? After all he could just as well keep a safe distance, and besides it was warm at the fire. Oh, yes, the enemies of the Lord had kindled it and stood around it, but that didn’t need to make Peter an enemy of His—or did it? How many Christians who would meet with hasty and courageous de nial the suggestion that they sell their Lord, have betrayed Him by warming themselves at the fires of this world. HI. Christ Denied for Fear (14: 66-72). Peter, the staunch defender of our Lord, who had assured Him that no matter how cowardly the others might be, he would stand fast (Mark 14:29), now quails before a servant maid. He curses and swears to try to strengthen his words of denial. What had happened to Peter? He had become so at home by the fire of the enemies of bis Master that he was afraid to confess his rela tionship to Him. He had followed so far off that He had lost touch with the Lord, and was again like the Peter who on another day looked away from the Master’s face and feared the boisterous waves (Matt. 14:30). Peter was afraid, and he denied His Lord. How many there are who arc like him. They tremble before an unbelieving world, and fearing the scoffing of poor, weak, sinful men, they deny their Lord. It is time that Christian people took courage and stood up for the Lord in all times and circum stances. IV. Christ Condemned for Con venience (15:12-15). Pilate found no fault in Christ. He had no desire to condemn Him. He wanted to set Him free. But it proved to be politically inexpedi ent. To stand by his convictions concerning this innocent person would have greatly inconvenienced him in many ways. So “wishing to content the multitude” he delivered Jesus to be scourged and crucified. Men and women today are will ing to condemn Christ anew because to submit to Him and bear His name would require of them a sacrificial living which they are not willing to give. So they pass Him by, and go on to a Christless eternity. It costs something to follow' Jesus —to stand true to Him in a rejecting world. One wonders at times wheth er this is not one reason why God does not send a revival to the Church. We are probably not will ing to bear the inconvenience. It would upset our regular order of life.
