OUR LAND CONGRESS.

Although the Jefferson Copnty Lanc Congress, to be the first held in any of the counties in Arkansas, with the exception of the State Congress re- gently held at Little Rock, is only one day old from an advertising standpoint, it will doubtless draw a large attendance from outside the State It is stated that the rail- roads will grant special rates from various Northern points. The list of speakers will include men of nation- al prominence The Board of Trade and the Jefferson County Real Estate Exchange have endorsed it. Even est manifested in the gathering both by homeseekers and searchers for safe and profitable opportunities of investment.
 The local gentlemen at the head of the county congress are naturally de- sirous that these visitors from other states shall secure during their stay .n Pine Bluff, information as com Ilete as possible, not alone with re- spect to the fertility and adapta bility of Arkansas lands, but particularly regarding land tracts in all sections of this immediate county, developed or undeveloped. now listed for sale. with the prices at which they are of- fered and comparative tables showing the values of adjacent lands not on the market In fine, it is hoped that no visitor to the Jefferson County Con- gress will leave without general knowledge of Arkansas lands and of the specific opportunities for home making and investment now offering in this State.
 It is perfectly plain that the fact Of their attendance will attest the lively and favorable interest of those outside visitors in Arkansas. Many of them will come, no doubt, as rep resentatives. in sense, of invest Inent-seeking neighbors.

But what is the meaning of this
singular affirmation about Peter and
the rock on which Jesus builds his
church? Shall we join with those
who say that Jesus only addressed
Peter as the spokesman of the apos-
ties, so that what he said to Peter
applies equally to all? Or shall we
join with those who say that Peters
confession and not Peters self is the
rock on which Jesus builds his
church? These are interpretations
currently accepted. But why not
on the other hand, take the language
Just as it stands and frankly admit
that Jesus built his church on the
man-Peter? A man, however,
such as Jesus describes-a man
with vision, a revelation. A reve-
lation, however, that did not orlgl-
nate with himself or any mere fell
bowman, but one that came from
God, a revelation received by faith
and acknowledged with JOY. 1t is
such a man, as a confessOr, on whom
the church is built. The confession
apart from the man, be it never so
orthodox, is a dead thing, but the
confession in human life is the
Invest thing in the world.
Well says the apostle mo man
can say that Jesus is the Christ eX-
cept God be with him Of course
anyone can say the more words by
rote or parrot-like, but no man can
say them as they should be said, IN
a manner pleasing to God, with
right emotions, with faith, and love
and loyalty, until he has become a
new being. In point of time Peter
was the first to make the confession
in this way He was laid, to use a
familiar New Testament figure, as
the first stone upon the chief corner
stone. So everyone who says that
Jesus is the Christ. not by revelation
of the flesh but of the Spirit, which
has made him a new being becomes
at once a living stone in the Spirit

Peters PentecOStal sermon was
that key with which he opened
the gate of heaven to three thousand
at once.
The positive enactments (whatso-
ever bound) the abrogations (What-
soever loosed) legislation of both
kinds incident to the growth of the
church, shall be confirmed in heaven,
Public announcement of the Mes
siahship of Jesus would have been
premature, hence Jesus caution to
his ardent disciples.
Sudden revulsion of feeling nat
urally followed when Jesus in the
same breath in which he affirmed
the persistent survival of his church
warned the apostles of his approach
ing suffering and death.
Flesh and blood reasserted itself
in Peter, when in strongest deprica-
ton, he cried, Pity thyself Lord"
The foundation stone, priced and
honored a moment before by the
Master, with the inveteraten qsS OF
human nature transformed itself in
to a stumbling block in his very
PATH
The first shadow of Gethsemene
falls on the path of the apostles as
Jesus makes this disclosure OF his
impending suffering and death.
What Peter said to Jesus, Jesus had
no doubt been tempted to say to
himself, Can not escape from this?"
In his last agony he did say Let
this cup pass from mel" But that
is the very glory Of his ultimate
victory. 1t was neither stoicism nor

surrender for the good of others.
