These are the chief great Interior commercial ports of the country. The foreign trade of each ranks With that of Baltimore. It Is, however, alIeost exclusively a trade with Canada Certainly that is true so far as imports are concerned.

 Mark 14:27-31, 53, 54, 66-72-Nov. 15.
 Let him that thinketh be standeth
 take heed lest he fall."--1 Corinthians
 10n2.
 St. Peter was admittedly a man of strong character, very courageous. but
 rather too impuisive. He Is one of the two disciples of whom 1t Is written that ''the people perceived that they were ig- norant and unlearned men" (Acts 4:l3.)
 Tn some respects, therefore. St. Peter
 may be said to have had less advantage 1 than Judas Both had equal opportuni-
 ties in the School of Christ; yet how diff ferent the results! One went down into | the second death desp.sed; the other. after ups and downs of trial and dis cipline, passed to q reward of glory. honor and immortality with his Master, ranking amongst the highest of the apostles
 Today's lesson deals with the special sitting which came to St. Peter at the time of our Lords death, and of which
 he was forewarned by Jesus. St. Peters courage manifested on so many occasions,
 was really his weak point. Notwith-
 standing all that Jesus had said to fore WaTn nlIIl UT ttic tADct ACheSS Aiht L.
 were just before him, St. Peter realized no fear. Hence he did little watching and praying in comparison with what he should have done and his very self-conrf-
 dence led to his undoing for a time.
 It was St. Peter who, when told that he would deny our Lord before cock growing the next morning, declared that 1t surely was a. mistake, for he was ready to die with his Master. It was the same St. Peter who drew his sword and cut off the ear of the high priests servant. after ward healed by Jesus. It was the same iinpuisive St. Peter who was the first to acknowledge the Messiahship of Jesus. Jesus had inquired what people were
 saying about Him-who they said He was and finally had asked. Whom say ye
 that I am?" Then St. Peter answered. Thou art the Messiah. Son of the living God" Jesus replied that this answer ifi- dicated that St. Peter was in q blessed condition of relationship with God, or otherwise he would not have had the knowledge to make this statement. He said, Flesh and blood hath not revealed this unto thee, but My Father which is III nrAFeu. Who cAn thhh thAN uhn same noble character would be SO over whelmed with fear that he would deny hIs Master. yea, even with curses:

, tho men who thus freely tell of their fail ings, and who speak of their lack of learning, must have been men of great courage. great sincerity. great love for the truth. Surely their testimony Is worthy of all acceptation.
 St. Peter's Unexpected Trial Temptations will come in an insidious form. We cannot imagine that St. Peter had any sympathy with the thought of denying our Lord at the t,nla when he cut off the ear of tho high priests sery- ant. But circumstances and conditions changed The Master was taken prisoner Whatever power He had previously. exer- cised whereby He walked away from His enemies and they could not take Him because Ills hour had not yet come" that power He was evidently not exercis- Ing now--His hour had come To see his Master apparently without friends in heaven delivered over to His enemies and led from one tribunal to the other, had a paralyzing effect upon St. Peter. His courage oozed out.
 St. John had such an acquaintance 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 Tn rne cour,- yard It was cold, and he approached an open brazier to warm himself In the light of the courtyard, surrounded by the gossiping servants of the palace. he was keenly scrutinized by one of the lnnids who said, Thou art also sl disciple of the Nazarene."
