the Pharisaic party. Even when st.
Paul "withstood Peter" to his face, Il
point Of faith was not involved.
Hence we hold that there is nothing
in the New Testament to prove that
st. Peter was not the head Of the
church. On the contrary, there is much
to show that he was.
The early Christian writer's admit
that Peter held the first place among
the apostles. Tertullian ('Praescor."
%, "Monog." 81 states that Peter is
the rock on which the church was
built, and that Christ left the keys to
! him, and Through him to the church"
, ("Scorp," ~. Clement of Alexandria
CQuis Dives" cxxi., p. $40 refers to
Peter as "the elect, the chosen one.
T, the first of the disciples" And ORR
gen has it that Peter was "the great
foundation Of the church, the most SOL
i'd rock on which Christ founded it,"
that he was "tlle prince of the apos-
ties" (''In Exod.," Hon. "; "In Luc," I"

The fathers of the fourth and fifth
centuries give many instances to show
that papal supremacy was recognized.
Referring to some of their quotations,
| Newman, before he became a Roman
| Catholic, declared: "More ample testi-
mony for the papal supremacy, as now
professed by Roman Catholics, is
scarcely necessary than what is con-
tanned" in number of passages which
he quotes.

Damascus: Following none but Christ,

we're on the doctrine of confession. He
pictured it as most tyrannical insti-
tuition. l do not intend to dwell on the
great benefits which accrue to society

any thinker can ignore the facts that

Christ said to his apostles: Receive
the Holy Ghost; whosesoever sins We
remit they are remitted unto them,
and whosesoever sins ye retain, they
have been retained" John Xxx, %. BY
the foregoing words does not Jesus con-
fer on the apostles the power of for
giving sins? And, surely, when He
confers such power, He does not mean
that it shall not be exercised.
If any pope or bishop attempted to
invent confession there would arise a
storm Of public indignation that the
. lapse Of centuries could not quell. Sup
pose, for instance, priest were to pro-
claim from the pulpit: "Dearly be-
loved brethren, next Saturday wish
you'd all come and tell me your sins"
, What confusion and CONSERVATION
should it not create in the congrcga-

Uncle sam-Go easy, fellows; you


loved everyone. Yet Peter was not he
whom Jesus allowed to lean on His
bosom. Peters confession Of faith, for
which Christ prepared him, met with
a great reward when Christ declared
that on him He would build His
church.
Even Peters terrible denial did not
deprive him Of the faith that he ne:,
ed as head Of the church. "Satan has
sought for you plural for it means the
apostles), but l have prayed for thee
singular for it means Peter) that thy
faith may not fail, and thou being
once converted, strengthen thy breth-
ren." duke xii, 31-32) Mark the
change from the plural number to the
singular. Satan has tried to wreck
the faith Of all Of the apostles, but
Christ takes an especial interest in
Peter, for Peter, as head Of the church,
should be shining example to the
other apostles, and the solid rock OH
which should rest the mighty fabric
Of his church. A sterling Protestant,
Bengel, declares that "this whole
speech of our Lord pre-supposes that
Peter is the first Of the apostles, on
whose stability or fall the less or
greater danger Of the others depended
(quo stante aut cadente ceteri aut mi
ms aut magis periclitarentur)."
In his "First Age of the Church
Dollinger writes of Peter: "The pun
ishment of Ananias and Sapphira, the
anathema ON Simon Magus, the first
hereto, the first visiting and confirm
ing the church's suffering under per-
secution, were all his acts. If he was
sent with st. John by the apostolic
college to the new converts at San,a-
ria, he was himself member and presi.
dent of that college. So the Jews sent
their high priest, Isnael, to Nero and
st. Ignatius (Philad, 1O) says that the
neighboring churches in ASIA mad sent.
some their bishops, some their priests
and deacOns."
1t was st. Peter who first publicly
threw open to the Gentiles the gates
Of the church, when he baptized Cor.
nclius. st. Paul, before he began his
great work of preaching, went to see
Peter. with whom he spent Is days.
'Then, after three years, went up to
Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode
with him Is days. But other of the
apostles saw none save James, the
Lords brother" 0st Eph. to Gal;,-
tians, t., 1919 And yet st. Paul de-
clares that his doctrine and apostolic
authority came to him direct from
heaven.
About A. d. 81 an apostolic council
was held in Jerusalem. 1t has been
said that st. Peters position in that
council was inferior to that Of St.
James. However, the reverse is the
case. Before the assembly there were
two main points of discussion-the one
Of doctrine, the other Of expediency.
The former was "Is circumcision
necessary for salvation" The latter
was "What disciplinary decree will
be best suited to promote peace be.
tween Jewish and Gentle converts?''
On the doctrinal question st. Peter
talks authoritatively and speaks first
1t is only on the ground Of discipline
that st. james differs from him. AS
