Y.-Suntlay morning, In tho Clasaon Avenue Prosbyt~rlan Cllm·ch, tho aa:1latant prtst.or, . ~ov. l!Ja:·l El. Oh•eland, preached on \Cht•lst 111 Gothsemnno,\ Among 'otbo:· things ho said: •rite to,.;t to which I Mk your atton· tlon Ia touncl In Ute twonty-slxth cbaptet• of Matthew, 11t the thh'tY· lllnth verse: \My Father, It it be 11 osr.lblo, lot this oup pnaa away trom :Me: nevel'tltelesa, not aa I will, hut as 'fhon wilt,\ which nro the wot•ds, as Matthew hns recorded them, of the ttu·tco ratlontod lll'IIYOr of our J,opd In tho plac~ cmlled Gethsemnno. You recall tho aC(!ount or tho !.nat SllllJlOI' ot the r.ord with His ulsct- 11tea, and the clark rcene In Goth· ~ 10 mane wbluh lmmodlatoly followc(l, 'l'elllng tho <llsciplos to \sit yo here whllo I ga yonder and Jli'IIY,\ Jesus \toolt with him Peter and tho two sons of Zobodea\ (,Jamoa and .John), \and bogan to llo sorrowfu 1 111\d sore troubled. Then snlth Ho unto them, 'MY soul Is exceeding sorrowful, oven unto death; 11bi!IO yo here and watch with Mo.' And He wont fol'\vard a llttlo and fell on His face and 11rayed, saying: '.My ~'nthm·, If It be possible Jet this cup pass away f1·om Mo; nevortheless, not as I will, but as '!lion wilt.'\ 'rho gospel nccordlng to Luke goes on to tell us that then \there appeaJ•ed unto HIm an angel from heaven, strengthonlng Him, and being In an agony He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat bocamo as it were groat drops of blood falling down upon the ground.\ I choose this text to-day as the result of a conversation some ton dltYS ago, with one of tho members or this church, ami at the outset I want to acknowledge my !ndohteducss to bi m tor the suggestion of this ser- JUOLl. ManY passageM, in Scripture, are variously lnterprete.i ana differently understood by Christian poo()le, and students of the Bible especlall:r. and oCteu one wl I find that the great comrtentato:•s themselves arc almost dlametrlcllllY opposed to each other in tho interpretations which they make. I find that our text to-day is one or t!lose disputed passages. Sev- eral ot the authorities which I havo consulted lu the study of this prayer of Christ in Gethscmano took the view that Jesus feared and recoiled at the thought of His approaching death on the cross, nnd thus prayed to God, His Father, trying, if it were possible, to bend His will, and have the end accomplished by some .other way than the cross. Only one commentator, as I recall now, took the view that our Lord's agonized prayer was Instigated hy the over· whelming thought that He feared His lite would be crushed out under· neath the st•·ain o[ mental suffering He was undergoing, before He roached the cross, and thus He jlrayed that this cup pass a way from Jl!m. The majority of Christian people, l believe, and as I find, more ot tho commentators do, attribute Christ's sul'l'er!ng in Gethsomane to the weak- ness ot His fleslt, or humanity, to lace tho death that was before Him, and they interpret our text in this light. I am Inclined, ht:wcver, to cast my lot with the minority, and interpret Christ's prayer as a plea to God for strength, that His IUe would uot be cruehed out underneath His terrible agony before the time appointed through all the ages of pro[Jhecy be- foro Him-that of His atonement on the cross for the sins of men. And In treating this passage Jet it be un- derstood that anything I may ~ay ilas doubtless been ~aid hundreds of times before. I only wish to try to show, from Scripture, mY position, and therefore make no claims. I see no necessity of exercising our imaginations in endeavoring to show mysterious cau!>es for our Lord's state of mind in this prayer, when the reason for His agitation Is plainly '!liven in the Scriptural account itself. But now about this prayer or our Lord in the garden of Gcthsemane. It seems incredlblo almost to think that Christian people- will attribute less couta!le to the Son of God than they have seen in lmndrods of exam- Ples ()f fearlessness through all the centm,!es ]lllst. ThinK of the thou- sands of people who ha\\e un!linch· ingly facecl death and died a martyr's death with scarcoly a quivei·. And It would be almost irreverent in us at such a time as this to think of the •numerous casBs or criminals who walk w!th_ unfaltet'ing ~t<'pS to the electric chair or ascend the gallows· .with all appearance of calmness. Some commentators, as has a!· ready been said, interpret this prayer as a t·evolting or halting of Christ at the thought of the apJlroaching crucifixion, aml the horrors which preceded it, and attendant to It; the betraya'l of .Judas; Peter's denial, and the desertion of His disciples and all His followers; the humiliating trial, aud insults of the rabble, and the lingering death on the cross. That it was because o! the horrors of all these things that Christ here meant to ask God if there wr.s not some other way of atoning for the sins of men, and that Christ only yielded to the cross to fulfill His Father's will. Those who advocate this view would thus make it out that our Lord for· got for the moment, by reason of His suffering, the prophecies, and the ]l)au of God In His redemption of :the world, throughout the history of tsrael: or If Christ did not forget lhat He tried to hend His J.o'athet•'s Wlll to an atonement by some other Way, and that Christ finally, attet· ·three unsuccessful attempts to bend God's will, yielded to the cross. Why Christian people try to ex-. Plain ·away this prayer In any such a weak v;:ay Is dlmcult to unde1·stand. What does Christianity want with a Weak Chrise who feared a martyr's ·«<eath? Our Lord was \a man or sor- row• and acquainted with grief,\ and had been tor three years tJreparlng ror the croaa, and bad on several oc- ~aiolll before tlila told His dlaolples •Ot the manner of Hll death, and theY .CO~d Dot under1tand at the tlma. . ..·o lllJ ausad •. tbt. ~~~ of 111~ showR, on tho eoJ\ti'!II'Y, tho hrnvor,l 1 T'r:IE GREAT DESTROYER or our Lord, and d(Jos not.
