~. The Other Fellow.

In the last chapter of Johns Gospel
we have record of Peters CONVEX
sation with Jesus. After our Lord
has talked very plainly with Peter
the latter sees the disciple whom
Jesus loved nearat hand and he says
Lord, and what Shall this man do?"
Jesus saith until him: If l will
that ne tarry until 1 come, what Is
that to me? Follow thou me- "
Every man faces his own personal
responsibility. 1t makes very little
difference what the Other fellow"
may do. Each of as must do for
ourselves the thing which ought to
be done. There Is great comfort
and relief for all Of us in this truth.
For we are not expected 10 do more
than we can, but simply as much as
we CAM Are you doing your bit?''

After his resurrection when Jesus
was talking with Peter he asked him
thrice: Lowest thou me?" The Rec

hose who love us to really hurt us
by their questions or actions in or
der to save us from ourselves. We
shall be wise If we recognize these
wounds of love and receive them in
the right spirit
Undoubtedly our Lord is asking
every christian this same vital ques-
tion which he asked uf Peter: Lowest
thou me?" If we do we shall be

/. The Appeal to the Facts.
The Gospel of John is a nappeal
to facts. Upon these facts John re-
hes for the development Of faith.
No more scientific appeal can be made

conversations and sermons and deeds
Of mercy by Jesus, as basis upon
which he called men to faith. Why
did not the people believe these facts'
The Record says that some believed
