Jesus had retired from Gallilee and
was near the sources of the Jordan,
the most northern point reached In
His ministry, near Caesarea Phillip
Only six months remained for Jesus
to finish his work. His disciples up
to this time had regarded him as a
national savior or deliverer, that is
that he would drive out the Romans
who ruled the country, as the Turks
have been doing and give the Jews
liberty, as the allies are now doing.
But this was no part of his mission
though any one reading the prophe-
cies might easily come to that con-
clusion. Jesus now hegins to teach
the twelve that he would come to his
death by violence, and that In the
near future; but that he would arise
from the dead. The disciples were
not willing to accept this statement
and Peter went so far as to rebuke
him. saying privately to him, "Be it
far from thee Lord; this shall never
be unto thee" Up to this time Jesus
had avoided the announcement Of his
divinity, He rebuked the devils that
he cast out wien they declared it.
But the twelve must be thoroughly in
structed, so in connection with the
disclosure Of his death and resurree-
ton. he brings out the fact Of his
sonship to God the Father. In an
adroit way he ELECTS from Peter the
fact Of his divinity, After inqpiring
of them "Who do men say that I the
Son of Man So and hearing their re-
plies. he asked, But who say We that
/ am" Peter, speaking under divine
inspiration, answered. thou art the
Christ, the Son OF. the living God"
Jesus replying to this said, 'Flesh

I demption revolves around the divinity

a sinful being ia conceded by all of
the great religion of the world, the
problem is how to make him holy. In
all ages men have labored in vain to
make thousands holy, and the Chris
tian religion alone furnishes a solu-
ton Of this problem. Christ declared
himself mans creator, hence he had
power to rnew him in righteousness
and this was to be done through his
death and resurrection. In this way
he would make an atonement for the
sins of the world and open up the
way for his resolution to holiness. A
sinful man could not do this. God

A. RAPIN KILLED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Mrs. Rapin Has Narrow Escape,
But Sustains Broken Ankle.

Friends of A. Rapin, of Oak
Greek, Colo, were shocked this
morning to learn of his tragic
death, which occurred Monday of
this week. The news was COM
municated to Tony Cesario over
phone this morning by E. w.
Davis, of Steamboat Springs, who
had just made trip to the Rapin
home.
From Mr.. Davis account of Mr..
Rapin's death, it occurred while
Mr.. and Mrs. Rapin were return
ing from a fishing trip on Trout
creek. There is a steep grade
coming down from where they
were camped and the car they
were in left the road and over
turned. Mr.. Rapin was caught
beneath the car and was killed
instantly. Mrs. Rapin suffered a
broken ankle.
The funeral will be held next
Sunday afternoon and Mr.. Ces-
ario will go over to Oak Creek to
act as one of the pail bearers.
Aime Rapin was born in Paris.
France, in 1865 and came to Am
erica when a young man, remain
ing for while in Norway, Mich.
Upon coming west he located in
Silver Plume, where he conducted
a jewelry store for some time, and
came to Central City in 1894,
starting in the jewelry business
on Lawrence street, later estab-
fishing the Mineral Palace on
Main street, one of the most at
tractive jewelry stores in the
state. Six or eight years ago the
family moved to Oak Creek, where
Mr.. Rapin was conducting a jew
elry and sporting goods establish
ment when he met with the acci-
dent that resulted so fatally.
Mr.. Rapin was a great fisher
man and hunter and took a decid-
ed interest in outdoor sport of all
kind. He was a good scout to be
out with, and the many old Gilpin
county friends who enjoyed mum.
