such an acquaint- g'o"oe-
ance with some one connected with
the palace that he was permitted to
enter the court and bring st. Peter
with him; but they had separated. st.
Peter was in the courtyard. 1t was
cold, and he approached an open bra
zier to warm himself. In the light of
the court, surrounded by the gossiping
servants of the palace, he was keenly
scrutinized by one of the maids, who
said, "Thou art also a disciple of the
Nazarene.''
Stunned by the identification and
wondering to what it might lead, st.
Peter promptly denied that he had
any knowledge Of Jesus. Then he
moved away to another part of the
court, where the shadows were deeper
and the people fewer. But again he
was recognized as a Galilean. and ac-
cused of being one of Jesus disciples.
Again he denied. The third time he
was approached with the same charge
that he was one of Jesus disciples
and a Galilean, and that his speech
betrayed him. Again, with cursing.
he denied that he knew his Master.
The Masters Words Fulfilled.

Peter felt afterward that 1t was ter

morning, came the beginning of cock.
growing, and he remembered the Mas
ter's words. that Satan had desired to
sift him as wheat; and that before the
cock crew, he would have denied his
Master three times.
The whole matter came upon him
with crushing force; and, wrapping his
cloak about his head, he FASTENED
away into the darkness, weeping bit
terly; for just about the time that
the cock crew, Jesus was led forth
not far, from him; and as he looked at
Jesus, the Master lifted up his eyes
and looked at st. Peter. 1t was a
glance full of sympathy. not of anger;
but it went straight to the heart of st.
Peter.
st. Peters crime was nothing like
that of Judas; he had merely sought

Ito Be Continued
Gossipins In Public.

One of the most common habits that
is reprehensible is that of discussing
personal affairs in public. They may
be your own affairs or they may be
matters that concern others. At any
rate, they should not be discussed in
the hearing of strangers.
The Withholding of names Is no ex-
cuse. Very frequently a listener has
been able to follow a conversation and
to know perfectly the ones under dis
cussioR. Women who have the habit
of talking in this way In public seem
to think that no one knows anything
but themselves.
Street cars, railroad trains, elevators,
restaurants and the promenade where
there are crowds are places where the
conversation should be restrained.
Keep your gossip If you must indulge
In this evil practice for your own
home.
Even then 1t will probably be repeat
ed with a different accent and given
a different Interpretation. Generally
speaking, gossip brings a punishment
on the one who is responsible for 1t
as well as working incalculable harm.
