.'REVILED.n

SMITTEN,-Thosew who had JESUS in charge
(Lnke xii. 63), especially the officers and
soldiers, subjected him to all manner OF
brutal insult and personal injury. Ihey
spit in his face, and struck him with their
fists, and slapped him with their hands. Inc
rulers themselves may not have engaged IN
this brutality, though it is implied by Mark
that they did xiv. 65). "They would be
encouraged by finding that they could with
impunity smite him whose reported miracles
had often made them tremble. "-Keim.
But his moral power to stand there In the
midst of such insults unmoVed by feelings
of retaliation was the greatest miracle OF all.
They now beheld him illustrating his own
precept, whatsoever smiteth thee on thy
right cheek, turn to him the other Also ".
39). In retaliation greater physical power
may be manifested, but its use may be
sign of moral weakness.
MOCKED.-They are represented as hav-
ing blindfolded JESUS and asked him In r1di-
Guile to prove that he was the CHRIST, or a
prophet, by telling who struck him (Luke
xii. 63, 64). Afterwards, when before FL
late, the Roman governor, they ridiculed him
as a king (xxvii. 2S-31). Sand many other
things spake they against him reviling him."
says Luke (xxii. 65). Peter may have had
these scenes in mind when he wrote OF JE-
sUs: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not
again" Il Peter ii. 23). Certainly they fulfill
the descriptions of the Servant of COP con-
tanned in Isaiah liii., and portray JESUS be-
fore the Jewish rulers as the Messiah of their
Scriptures.

BLOOD WILL TELL,

There is no question about it-blood will
tell-especially if it be of impure blood.
Blotches, eruptions, pimples and boils, are
all symptoms of an impure blood, due to the
improper action of the liver. When this i'm
portant organ fails to properly perform its
function of purifying and cleansing the
blood, impurities are carried to all parts of
the system, and the symptoms above re-
ferred to are merely evidences of the strug-
gle of Nature to throw off the poisonous
germs. Unless her warning be needed in
time, serious results are certain to follow,
eliminating in liver or kidney disorders, or
even in consumption. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery will prevent and cure
these disorders, by restoring the liver to a
healthy condition.

THE DENIAL,

/. From a scene of contempt and cruelty
in contrast with moral dignity and grandeur,
we turn to one of weakness and cowardice
lighted up by sorrowful repentance. Peter
with fear and trembling had followed his
Master to the house of the high-priest, and
was admitted to the courtyard through the
influence of John, who was known to the
high priests household, where with the ser
wants and others he was waiting to see the
end" (5S). In the chilliness of the night or
early morning the excited company were gos,
siping around fire (John xviii. IL, 49, con-
oerning, no doubt, the scenes that were
transpiring and the persons and incidents
connected with them. The maid-servant,
probably, who admitted Peter at the request
of John, said to him, "Y You also were with
JESUS" 1t was probably we'll known that
John was one of his disciples. She may
have expected him to relate something of in
terest about the matter. But he denied it in
the presence of them all, saying, Il know
not what you say" He prevsricated, pre-
tending not to know to whom or what she
referred.
III. Peter is fearful and restless. Besides
the uncertainty of the situation in which he
was placed as a disciple of JESUS, he was liza
BILE to arrest for his assault upon the high
priests servant in the garden of Gethsemane.
He withdrew from the group around the fire
to the portal, or entrance of the courtyard,
where another servant girl, who probably at
tended the door, said to those standing near,
"This man also was with JESUS" when he
again denied it, declaring with an oath, az
do not know the man." According to Luke
a man also made the same statement direct
ed to him, which he positively denied (xxii.
So John relates that relative of the ser
want whom Peter assaulted, asked, Did
not see you in the garden with him" when
upon Peters second denial a cock crew
xviii. 26, 27). He has taken a second down
ward step. From his first fslsehood, that he
did not know what the maid was talking
about, he has added another and greater,

REPENTANCE.

0RR0W.-Under deep sense of his
shame and guilt Peter went out from the
high priests house and wept bitterly, and
we hear no more of him till after the Resur-
rection, when the Master appeared unto him
frat of all the apostles. To an ardent nature
like Peters grief and shame would be deep
and agonizing, and his proved to be cody
sorrow that worketh repentance.
REFORMATION. Repentance is more
than sorrow for sin; it is reformation. Peter
proved the genuineness of his repentance by
his after life, which never swerved with per-
haps single exception) from the strictest
fidelity to his Masters cause. He was fore
most among the Twelve in establishing the
Kingdom of heaven in the earth, and be-
came one of the worlds greatest benefactors
and examples of Christian fidelity and zeal.
How unlike that of Judas who betrayed his
master is the sequel of his sin and repent
ance Judas, when he saw JESUS condemned,
appears to have heartily repented, made full
confession of his guilt and restoration of the
accepted bride, and then under an over
whelming sense of shame and remorse went
and strangled himself, and in the world his
name is forever infamous, while that of
Peter who denied his Lord is glorious. Judas
was covetous; Peter was impetuous. The
"besstting sin" of each was the cause of his
fall. Let him that thinketh he standeth take
warning by the example of these two apos-
ties lest he fall; and let him that falleth fol-
low the example of Peter, who thoroughly
repented and proved the commences of his
repentance by life of Christian fidelity and

THE CONDEMNATION

BLAsPHEMY.-J went out from the
Passover feast John xiii. 30) and pro cured
from the Jewish rulers, with whom he had
bargained to deliver JESUS (1416) COM
pany of officers, and soldiers which he con-
Quoted to Gethsemsne, the accustomed re-
sort of JESUS and his disciples (John xviii. 2,
81, where they arrived just as JESUS had
ended the prayer described in the last Les
son. JESUS was identified to the officers with
a kiss-the usual salutation, probably, of
JESUS and his disciples-when he was seized
by them and bound. Peter manifested the
fidelity which he had professed earlier in the
evening (33- 35), and especially his impetuous
nature, by shifting a servant of the high
priest with a sword which he carried, and
was rebuked by his Master (4S-52). JESUS
was taken by the officers to the house of the
high-priest, where the rulers were assembled
for his formal condemnation. Caiaphas, the
acting high-priest, had already pre-Judged
JEsus by his declaration after the raising
of Lazarus, that for the safety of the COM
me- nwe ,lth it was expedient that JESUS
should be put to death (John xi. ~, 5o).
When JESUS was seized and bound as pris-
oner all the disciples fed; but Peter and an
other disciple, supposed to be John, appear
to have followed at distance (50) to the
hieh-priest's house. John being known to
the high-priests household, the two disciples
were admitted to the courtyard John xviii.
Is. 16) where they appear to have remained
with the servants while JESUS was being ar
raigned within before the high-priest and
his council, who condemned him to death on
a charge of blasphemy, when he had admit
ted that he was the Messiah, the Son of COP,
and had declared that he would appear IN hls
kingdom with Divine power (64-65). The
scene described in our Lesson occurred dur
ing the mock-trial and condemnation of JE-
sUs by the Jewish rulers. There is some diff
ficulty in harmonizing the four accounts OF
the Gospels, and arranging the order OF
events at the trial and condemnation of
JESUS as related by the Evangelsts. None
of them give full account OF the pro-
ceedings. All may fall short of COM
plete account. If all were recorded the
apparent difference and the difficulty In ar
ranging the events would no doubt disap-
pear. Peter and John having been present,
and the ministry of Peter being the chief
source of Marks Gospel, the Gospels of Mark
and John may be regarded as reliable OASIS
for harmony of the four Gospels OF these
events, especially since Johns Gospel was
written last, and appears 10 have been writ
ten to supplement the other three, recording
chiefly what they do not contain, and omit
ting what they have chiefly recorded.

that he did not even know his Master. One
sin leads to another and greater one. By
one false step unretracted we may miss the
way of life and happiness.
III. About an hour afterward (Luke xii
59), it is stated, that those who we're with
Peter said to him. "Assuredy you were with
JESUS, for by your manner of speech you are
Galileanw He could not deny that. 1t is
difficult to tell lie that will not conflict with
some well-known or readily discovered facts.
The Galileans may have spoken a peculiar
dialect, or had "brogue" by which they
were distinguished. The locality of people
is frequently known by their manner of
speech. Peter grew more excited, and per-
sisted in his denial that he did not even
know who the man was that had been arrest
ed and brought before the high priest. He
not only reiterated his oath that he did not
know the man, but invoked curse upon
himself if he we're speaking falsely. What
desperate expedients and woeful conse-
quences even one impulsively spoken word
and evil deed will lead to- But the sorrowful
end is near. While he was thus emphasizing
his wicked denial of his Master, cock crew
a second time MARK xiv. 72), and JESUS
turned and looked upon him, probably as he
was being led from the council chamber
above MARK xiv. 66) to await official con-
demnation by the Ssnhedrim in the morning.
When he heard a cock crow, and at the same
time saw his Master looking at him (Luke
xxi. Gil, Peter remembered his professions
of fidelity and the Masters declaration, ''Be-
fore cock crows twice, you will three times
disown me' GA, 80; Mark xiv. 72) and he was
overwhelmed with shame and remorse. What
