Presumption Rebuked.

1t takes but little to reveal character.
At such times men are off guard. Peter
was never an actor. His impulsiveness
made him easily a leader. for he was
ever ready to do or say the thing that
to him seemed fitting. He loved the
Master ardently. He longed to be with
Him. He could see no obstacles. "If it
be Thou, bid me come unto thee on the
water" Here was faith mingled with
doubt
The faith would have saved him, but
the doubt would have been his ruin. The
Master saw 1t all. 1t would be needed
lesson. and He uttered the word Come"
In moment Peter was upon the waters;
yes, walking upon them. Soft, but unyield-
ing, they bore him up until he neared the
Lord: but now, his eye is taken from
Christ. 1t falls upon the pillows still
dashing furiously about him: and in a
moment he sinks. The cry of terror
brings the needed help and in a moment
the two are standing safely upon the yes
sells deck. But see! no sooner had he en-
tered the ship than the wind ceased and
there was a great calm. Awed and over
whelmed by the spectacle. the disciples
cried out, "Of truth thou art the Son

The Lonely Disciples.

How great a contrast between the
loneliness of Christ and the loneliness
of His disciples. The disciples were
simply students in the school Of Christ.
The lessons were so new and so strange
that they found them to be difficult to
master. Their progress was slow. Even
after His resurrection the Master ex-
claimed to two of them. "Oh, fools and
slow Of heart, to believe all that the
prophets have spoken" Huke, 24:25).
1t was as II they had been banished by
the Master. Besides, 1t was night. and
they were going out into the darkness.
men are a goodly company even in the
dark. Besides, this was their native sea.
From childhood they had played and toll
ed upon its waters. They knew its winds
and currents. But, on that night they
were alone. The school had lost its
Master, the disciples, their Lord. There
was much to occupy their thoughts. This
marvellous miracle, the feeding of 5000
with a few loaves and fishes. 1t was the
climax of wonders. They had seen His

But they were soon to have their senses
of need of Him emphasized in q remark
able manner. The waters of the lake are
more than 800 feet below the surface Of
the ocesn. and surrounded as they were
by high banks. 1t was as though the winds

fishermen, they could make but little
progress against that tide. John says
that at the fourth watch of the night
they had rowed about twenty or thirty
furlongs; in other words, they had gone
only about three miles. We may we'll
believe that now they felt His absence.
They would recall the time when on that
same sea they thought that all was lost

the sea and the winds. and Immediately

When the three favored disciples were

several communications from the pope
to the mother house at Annecy the
most recent being brief. in which he
grants a plenary indulgence, under the
usual conditions. not only to the mem
bers of the order. but to all the faith
ful who participate in the celebration.
copy of this brief and the letter of
the holy father has been sent to each
of the communities Of the order. By
special permission Of Cardinal Gibbons
the Sisters of the Visitation Convent on
Connecticut avenue will open their
chapel doors on Monday. not only to
their old pupils. but to all who wish to
share in the celebration.
The Order of the Visitation was founded
by st. Francis de Sales. Bishop of Gene
va, Trinity Sunday. June 6, 1910. when
the bishop led to a little house in the sub
urbs of Annecy three noble ladies, the
baroness de Chantal. afterWard St Jane

line Favre and Mile. Charlotte de Brech-

service of God. From that small begin
ming the order has spread throughout the
world. exerting il is declared an inilu-
ence that is beyond human estimate.
The plan of the sanity founder was an
order of charity. as the name suggests.
He wished his religious daughters to visit
the poor and sick in their homes and in
the hospitals. but. with his customary
neekness and humility. he yielded the
point TO the Cardinal of Lyons, and his
modest congregation was erected into a
clustered and contemplative order. Later
by papal dispensation the nuns were en-
powered to receive and educate Young
ladies. and the Visitation sisterhood. it
is said. is almost the only order in the.
Catholic Church that has not modified it's
rules TO meet the eXigencies and REQUIRE
ments of changing environment and mod
ern conditions. There are lin this country
alone twenty-five converts of the order
with nearly 1000 members of the sister
hood engaged IN teaching. In E,urope
they are much more numerous having

The 1nexhaustible Christ.

John says: Immediately the ship was
at the land whittier they went" 6:21
The people of that community seemed to
have been waiting for His coming. They
sent out into all that country round about,
and brought unto Him all that were dis
eased, and they besought Him that they
might only touch the hem of His garment
and as many as touched were made per-
fectly whole" That is a record Of healing
the multitude. 1t was health and whole
ness. taking the place of disease and
weakness. Could you have been there
and seen them as they came limping,
crawling. leaning upon friends. and touch
ing the hem of His garment; and then, in
vigorated, renewed. whole. leaping for joy,
and exulting in the power of Christ to
heal. Would you not have believed? That
is the record. But the lesson, how SIM
pie and yet how difficult to learn. This
Jesus stands today in the midst of the
worlds Ills. it's sorrows and its sins: and
as OF old, all who touch Him are made
whole.
A saved church demonstrates His power
to save.

n LII greatness is solitary. All life
~ needs companionship. Among
the many privations Of the In
carnation there was probably
none greater than the loneliness
of Our Lord. OF the multitudes that he
met there were none that understood
Him. But companionship was as neces-
sary for Him as 1t is for us. Hence tbs
FREQUENT separations from the people ana
from His disciples. II was that he
might be with the Father. True, the
Father was ever with Him John. 500.
But He needed more. He longed for the
undist,,rbed communion that He could
find in isolation only. The frequency OF
these occurrences in the life of Christ
should impress us deeply. If they were
necessary for Him. how much more for
US.
The time had come when He must be
once more with the Father. The feeding
of the multitude had been long and oner-
Gus. The miracle had profoundly i'm
pressed the people. John tells us that
they were now fully convinced that He
was the Messiah, and they were planning
70 take Him by force and make Him king.
Their reasoning was simple. Such a
,
comrnissariat, even in the wilderness,
would never be empty. That these Views
were also held by His disciples there can
be no doubt. 1t was the old temptation
that had first met Him in the wilderness.
The duty was obvious. He would get
rid of the people and Of His disciples,
and He would be alone with the Father.
There can be no doubt but that the
conduct Of Jesus in many instances sore
ly perplexed His. disciples. What could
it mean, this sending them away now,
when. of all times, they might be
needed in setting up the kingdom? But
at such times there was an imperious-
ness about Christ that none could resist.
The word constrained in this connection
has a peculiar significance. 1t implies
reluctance upon the part OF the disciples
! to leave Him behind; and it implies COM
pulsion upon the part of Christ. One
would suppose that the dismission OF the
people would not be so easy. How could
He induce them to forego their purposes
, of making Him king? 1t is probable
that they desisted for the time. fully in
tending to mature their plans. and at a
later day carry them into execution.
However that may be, they obeyed His
command and soon Jesus was left alone.
