NEEDED LOYALTY
AND DEVOTION
ST. Peters Life Was Filled
With These Two Import
and Qualities.

The reinstatement Of the Apostle
Peter into the apostolate" was the
subject of the sermon delivered by
Rev. J. II. Crowder. pastor of the
Grace NJ. r. church. at his Sun
day morning services.
The ground OF the Apostle Pc
ter's reinstatement into the apostle
late was grounded upon his love
and loyalty in Jesus Christ. 1t would
be useless TO ask him to serve his
Lord in the common and unpIsas-
ing tasks OF an apostles life, if he
did not posses the loyalty and de
votion TO the person of Christ,
which alone would help him in che
dark and tragic situation in which
he would be placed in pursuing his
ministry Of uplift and transforma-
ton. Plainly the ministry of st.
Peter was to the poor and needy.
He must be supplied with mex
haustible stores of relief The life
Of the apostle was % be spent in
the midst of poverty and meager-
ness of life.
The flock OF CnriSt was not 10
look to him in vain. In fact the
evidence of his devotion TO his Lord
was i'm the Christly sacrifices he
might make in his ministry TO the
needy The position he was dele
gated TO Gll was to be his in per
manence, only as ne was faithful
10 that sacred trust entrusted to
him by his Lord. How true and
undertaking was ST. Peter to the
end of his days. history very amply
proclaims.
His life and ministry surely is
sufficient example FOR all the faith
ful stewards of the manifold grace
of God How greatly enriched has
the world become through the
faithful ministry of the followers
of Christ. Christian art grew up
i'm the church, fosteTed and nurtured
by faithful servants of Christ. We
cannot look upon the splendors of
Giotto and Cimabue, of Michael
Angelo and Raffaelle, without feel
ing eternally indebted to the minis
try Of Jesus Christ Inside the
church was preserved that Iitera
ture which i'm due time helped SO
powerfully at the birth of the ref
ormation. And from the heat of
the mother church came the faith
full minister to lead the reformation
host TO security and peace. The
church today must be as faithful as
ever the servants of God were in
other ages i'm calling the people to
forgotten duties, to love and sacri-
fee.
The world is too much with US;
getting and spending we lay waste
our powers. We must replenish
with fresh motives, the lying en-
bers Of mans devotion to his Lord
Whatever changes the years have
brought or viii bring, Christ is the
same yesterday, today and forever
In the fostering needs Of this strick-
en- world, the love of Christ is the
only remedy. The church must not
forsake her ministry to worlds cry
