heroic MOTORMAN KILLS LION

BURLINGTON, N. J., December g.
When Mrs. Edward Reed returned to
her home from shopping tour she found
a crowd in front of the house and heard
strange sounds within.
.Scuse me. ma am" said a farmer,
who was one of the throng. but my
Holstein bulls got away and he's in
your house. I hear him."
He did. Smash bang! crash. went
things inside.
A boy climbed in through a window,
but soon fell out. almost unconscious
from gas fumes.
The door was opened and it was realiz-
ed that the Holstein had broken gas
pipe Gas men were summoned and
shut off the flow in the main pipe.
Then Mrs. Reed and the farmer went
inside. The place was a wreck.
The BULL sighting the invaders. dashed
out of the door, down the steps and into
the yard: removed on his horns the
washing suspended there and plunged
into the house again. But in returning he
was blinded by the clothes hanging over
his eyes and consequently removed the
kitchen door with his face.
He was captured and led out peace
ably TO the front yard. But as he left
the hail. with a sweep of his horns, he
took perhaps as a souvenir, a gOodly
portion of the hatrack.

ton, by this sign conquer We know
not whether the tradition be true; but we
do know, that all spiritual victories are
won through Christ Jesus had warned
the disciples of the coming conflict They
they would be scattered as sheep having
no shepherd. Peters self-conf1dence pre-
vented him from accepting the prediction
of his Lord and Master.
He declared his undying fealty. With
an emphasis that could never be forgot
ten he said: Though all men shall be Of
Tended because Of thee,- yet will [ never
be offended
One would suppose that Peters past
experience would have made him eau
tious. But self-confdence is an almost
ineradicable folly. Jesus became specific
in His warning. Verify I say unto
thee that this night, before the, cock
crow. thou shalt deny me thrice" Moth
Ing could show the infatuation Of Peter
more than his reply to this warning.
Though I should die with Thee, yet will
not deny Thee"
We need not ask If Peter was sincere.
He doubtless meant all that he said.
And IL the trial had been other than 1t
was, he might have been true unto DEATH
But temptation is like sickness: 1T touches
the weakest point. AS the strength OF a
chain is to .be measured by its weakest
link, so mans power Of resistance must
be gagged by his defects. If there Is one

Peters Denial.
Matthew, 26:31-35, GIFTS.

VHIS lesson is a study Of charac-
ter. Ordinarily, there is no
subject that can more proftably
engage our thought There is
oneness of humanity that
,,.Les tho rise and fall of one a lesson to
as ALI. The world over and the ages
through humanity is the same. ana SO
tho denial Of Peter has it's lesson for us
all today.
OF Peter it may be said that he was an
ordinary man. He had. OF course. MS
peculiarities There were those things
about him that, as we say. differentiated
him from other men. And it may De
claimed for him that he became great;
and the claim may be granted without
inyalidating the original statement. OF
one thing we may be sure, had Peter
never become the disciple of Christ, his
name would never have been known out
side of the few obscure peasants with
whom his trade brought him in contact
Christ gives immortality to men, and
the surest pathway to undyfng fame is
that Of unreserved surrender of ourselves
to Him. The point Of this lesson Is con-
tanned in the golden text. This text is
not a general statement of a danger that
besets us all: but it is q revelation OF
state Of mind that makes the danger
more imminent and fearful. The man
that "thfnketh that he standeth," Is one
who has q firm conviction OF his safety.
Wesley. in his notes, suggests that the
translation might be, Let him that most
assuredly standeth take heed lest he fall. y
And this Interpretation unquestionably
gives the sense of the original. The man
described is one who in his own mind has
perfect assurance of his safety 1t was
this attitude, as we shall see, that was
largely the secret of Peters downfall

The Warning.

Peter was warned once and again But
to the self-confident warning is useless
In ever case Peters self-confidence was
the cause of his laundering and failure
Let us, however. discriminate. In the at
fairs of a purely worldly nature. where
the dealings are of man with his fellow,
self-conf1dence is of the highest value.
Without 1t Alexander would never have
CONQUERED the world while he was yet a
comparative youth. Without it Napoleon
would never have been the scourge OF
Europe. and he would never have been
ranked as the peerless genius OF the
military world. In business all successful
men have confidence In themselves.
But in the spiritual world the condltions
are reversed. Here no victory Is won IL
is madness. In this realm we stand and
conquer through Christ only. Upon this
subject Paul says: 1--WE wrestle not
against flesh and blood, but against prin-
cipalities. against powers, against the
rulers of the darkness of this worio'

Slew Terror of Jungle
With TruSty Trolley Car

NEW YORK, December 3.-Aa motor
man on the Hudson River trolley, run
ming through Hackensack. N. j., took q
mean advantage of an incapacItated lion
last night. He announced the fact when
he stopped the car at Passaic street and
startled the passengers.
II have just killed a lion down the
street. he said. THE headlight showed
1t on the track in front Of me. Its eyes
and mouth were. wide open and it looked
something fierce
II hated to do it, but think of the people
1t might have chawed to death. Go back
and get its corpse. don't want 1t.
An intrepid passenger went back along
the tracks and found lions head, sure
enough. Further on he found the rest of
a lap robe that had been dropped from
an auto.

attention. He would listen to their con-
versation. He would perhaps hear words
of pity for the strange prisoner. but it
would be pity that one so good should
have brought upon himself his own con-
demnatfon. In the black sky, portentous
of danger, there was not star of hope.
The collapse of = the cause Of Christ
seemed to be so utter that pity upon the
part OF the spectators well-nigh merged
into contempt. And this feeling would
extend to all who were connected with
Christ. especially to His disciples.
Peter was brave. He had :2l=him the
elements of which heroes and martyrs
are made. But he was unused to scorn.
He could not bear the contemptuous
sheer. The finger of a servant maid point
ed at him in such an hour as that was
harder to bear than would have been
the onset Of cohort of Roman soldiers.
Before that finger he quailed: and in re-
spouse to her question he lied. With the
lie he took step that he could not
retrace. Lies go in groups. They never,
or rarely, stand alone. One lie dragS an
other after it. The second denial was
inevitable. and at the third charge he
curses and swearS
Alas! how many men and women. boys
and girls. in all ages and in all countries
of the world have initiated the example
Of Peter. 1t is done today. Men who
have faced the cannon on the field of
battle, have been cowed by the coarse
jests and stale pratings of the lnfidel.
The lesson is this: Every man has his
weakness, and no man is stronger than
he is at his weakest point. Charles Wes-
ley wrote:
Leave unguarted place.
No weakness of the SOUL
Take every virtue, every grace,
And fortify the whole.
In morals self-confidence is the SUI
premest folly.

WINSTED, Conn, December 3.-Mrs.
Frank Williams of Woodbury. was on her
way to George Welton's farm wheeling
her two-year-old srandchild in a go-cart
when she met bull.
The bull made for Mrs. Williams, who
wore a red shawl. She lifted out the
baby. tossed her shawl into the carriage
and ran to the fence beside the road
Tossing the child over it she climbed
after.
But the bull paid no further attention
to them. He plunged his horns into the
carriage many times until 1t was de-
mOlished. Then he went on.

Peters Recovery.

Jesus had said, This night before
the cock crow, thou shalt deny me
thrice" The lesson says that while
Peter was cursing and swearing the
cock crew. And Luke tells us (22:6D
that 1.-The Lord turned and looked upon
Peter These We're more than Peter
could bear. He went out and wept bit
terly. The Greek word means loud and
bitter wailing." The growing of that cock
and the silent look of our Lord well-nigh
broke the heart of Peter.
Peter had sinned. His sin was monu-
mental 1t marred the symmetry of his
life. 1t proclaimed the weakness of his
character And yet strange as it may
seem, the incident shows that at heart
Peter was true to his Lord. 1t was a
sudden tempest before which, for a mo-
ment. his anchor dragged; but the fiukes
of that anchor had sunk too deep, their
grip was too firm for total eradication.
Peter repented and he was forgiven. The
touching fact is that when Jesus arose
from the dead. when He sent word to
His disciples He remembered Peter. Tell
His disciples. and Peter. that he goeth
before you into Galilee. This throws
wide the door of forgiveness to all f9ni-
tents.

Automobile and Church Attendance

A popular preacher i'm one of our large
eastern cities took occasion in a sermon
a few Sundays since to speak of the diff
ference the automobile had made in
church attendance among his parishion-
ers. how former regular attendants came
but once or twice in six months since they
purchased their automobiles. This all
goes to show that the modern world has
craze for automobiling. Yesterday IL
was bicycles or fast horses. Tomorrow
it may be airships. 1t matters not. They
are all one The things that the world
considers worth while, the things for
which they sell themselves, their homes.
their families, their very souls. And often
these things are the direct cause Of an
early death.
