Take Walker Street or We3tview Cars Golden Text.—He la deaplaed and rejected of men.—Isaiah 63i3. Our Lord underwent three trial* at the hand* of the Jew*. The first, that before Annas, I* related only by John; the second, before Calaphoa, by Mat thew and Mark; the third, before the Sanhedrim, by Luke alone. _ Each trial as the narrators retarded K, miaul w« iiiw (hubI iiiivwrUwM The one in our Jesuon Is that before Cal- aphas. In our lost lesson, we saw Jesus be. Ing led away from tho garden of Goth, semane through tho hushed streets of tho silent city to the palace of the high priest, which was Jointly occupied by Annas and his son-ln-Iaw, Calaphas. Annas, now 70 years old, had been the actual high priest only seven years. Before this period, he bad been deposed by the procurator Valerius Gratus. lie Is tho Ananus of Josephus. Since tho days of Herod tho Oreat, the hl|h priesthood had been degraded from a permanent religious to a secular distinction. It waa before Annus, the astute worldly Kaddutee, whose ttaino moaning “Merciful," was a misnomer, that Jesus first stood os a prisoner at the tribunal. If there was one man more, guilty than another of tho death of Jesus, that man was Annas. It Is worthy of note that the Phari sees, who were the avowed enemies of Christ, and were eager for His death, after His arrest, took so little part that their name Is not mentioned. The chief priests and elders seemed to havt taken their place. The enmity of tho latter was no doubt due to the Lord’s words and acta concerning the temple which they regarded as their domain and to HI* cleansing of It. In all threo evangelists, Matthew, Mark and Luke, wa And those who complained of the act were the “chief priests and scribes.” The general In dignation against th* gross abuses would Interfere with their Illicit and avaricious gains. After a few ques tions, and after Jesus had been smit ten on the face, Ho was led bound across the court yard to Calaphas, who, like his father-in-law, waa a Sadducee, equally unscrupulous, and possessed of less force of character and will. Tho Roman soldiers were halted out side, for their presence would havo been a defilement. The tribunal about to condemn Hint was not a legal court. From beginning to end. It was a Mock Trial. It was contrary to all the rules of a legal trial. In all caaes the accused was considered Innocent till proven guilty. It was the duty ot tho presid ing officer to admonish the witnesses that they must remember tho value of human life, and every doubt must be In the prisoner's favor. All evidence must be freely admitted and a council appointed to defend tho accused. The verdict of acquittal could be given ot once, but that of guilty only the day nfter the trial. A capital trial could not begin on the day preceding the Bahbath or public feast. No criminal trial could be held thiough the night. The Judges who condemned hud to fast all the previous day, and no one could be executed on the same day that the sentenco was pronounced. In the trial of Jesus, all these rules were disre garded. The'Judge himself took the part of accuser; no witnesses wero called In HI*, defense, though the It^w gave such a preference, offe and His disciples, but Jesus remained silent. He had apoken openly In the synagogues. In the temple and to the assembled thousands. The law did not require one to criminate himself, but that witnesses should testify. An hon est and formal Inquiry was no part of the plan of Calaphas. Ho wished to hand Him over to tho Romans as soon as passible, ihst H- mi*ht not Im res pued by the people, many of whom be lieved on Him. Then one of the turn- keya Jn violation of all Judicial rules struck the prisoner on the mouth with his hand. — , False witnesses were brought In to mnko some charge of false doctrine, or seditious language, but they could get no evidence to establish a charge of which the Romans would tako cog nisance, For months they had tried to draw from Him something they could twist Into an attack on the national religion or the Roman government, but - had failed. Some witnesses had nothing to say, other* contradicted themselves. At last one witness testlffed that he had heard Jesus say He would destroy the temple. Christ hod said: "Destroy this temple and In three days I will build it again"—not that He would destroy It, and Ho was speakli * and not the temple ty-slx year* In building. Meanwhile Jesus remained silent. “As a sheep be fore his shearers Is dumb, He opened not His mouth.” He knew It would bo Idle to speak before auch' a tribunal. At lost Calaphas asked If Jesus had nothing to say In His own defense. Still He remained silent. He might have closed the examination at this point and taken a vote. Looking Into the calm, dlgnllled face of Jesus, speaking In Aramaic, he asked If Ho were tho King Messiah, the Bon of God.

He asked or Judaism, would havo had no effect upon the procurator, but now that Ho had claimed to ba tho Messiah Ho could be represented to Pilate as atato criminal. This preliminary exam ination needed to be confirmed by gathering of the hierarchy, i happened about 3 o'clock Fri day morning. There was nothing to re. strain the coarse natures to whose ears the condemned hud been con signed. Encouraged by the example of the Judges, and themselves being bitter bigots, they vented their cruelty on Him with the coarsest brutality. Hav ing blind-folded Him, they struck Hint on the head with tfcolr flits, others slapped His face with their hands, while others adding tho greatest In anity an Oriental could offer, spat In Is face. John anil Peter, relovering from their first panic, and anxious to see what htul become of their Muster, fol lowed at a distance till He was brought to the house of Calaphas. The door of the outer court had been closed, but John, being known to'the household, was readily admitted, and at his so licitation, Peter also. It was a chilly April night, and around tho lire that Imd been kindled In the court stood Peter, wondering v'hat the end would be and doubtless fear ing for his own safety. All are familiar with the story of his denial, how he de nted Him thrice, the last time with an oath, und the cock crew, and he was reminded of what Ills Lord had said. Just then they led Him by and we uro told “The Lord looked on Peter"—not, we Imagine, a look of reproach, or an ger, or condemnation, but one of love and tendet-neis, that plorced Peter’s heart and sent him out to weep bitter tears of penitence. Toward the close of tho fourth watch, and before day break, the heads of the theocracy had extemporised u .semblance of the old high court of tho nation, hut It was necessary that the whole Banhedrlin should ratify a sentence of death. Tho proceedings, however, wero only for mal, to hear Ijio sentence of the com mission and Intlorsn It. When this tvas done the wny was clear to hand Him over to Pilate.
