child you have looked for the beautiful thing in the wrong place. Come with me- She took her boy back to the room and there. close to the glass of the window, basl1ing in the warmth or the sun, was beautiful bitterly. The boy had looked in the wrong place. Let more of us look in the cold grave for our loved ones but remember that Jesus Ii the resurrection and the life.
 A poor widow was constatly to be seen lowering around the entrance to a coal mine, where her two boys had been killed sometimes clasping her hands over her head, and at other times kneeling and crying, where shall I find them. oh where shall l find them. tell me- One day serv- ant of Christ heard her and, gently leading her from the spot, directed her thoughts to the risen Christ. You have make a mistake by going to that mine and crying, look to the right place and you will find them. Christ is not to be found in the empty tomb he is risen.'-Sunday School Chron icle.
 Proof of His Resurrection
 The folded napkins give us a strong proof of Christ's resurrection. If the body has been stolen, the thieves never would have taken time to have folded the napkins and lay them to one side. They would have taken grave clothes and all.
 We know Christ rose from the grave because God through the angel said SC, and for the right thinking man that is enough.
 We know he rose from the grave be- cause he appeared unto the disciples many times after this resurrection and gave proof beyond doubt. We know he arose from the grave because the Holy Spirit came from heaven as he said, and testified to this fact on the Day of Pentecost.
 How do I know that he is risen?
 Why, sir. l do not see his light re- flected from the faces of some of my fellowmen every day and do not I feel the light of his glory in my own life? As soon tell me that the sun is not risen when 1 see it's reflected glory as to tell me that my Lord is not risen.
 In Dudeah Christ had manifested himself unto the disciples two or three times, but in this scene we find him on the banks of the Sea of Galilee, with d breakfast of fish prepared for the dis ciples who had been fishing all night. After the feast the Lord turned to Peter with this question, one that he repeated twice, and which has caused much perplexity. It is easily explained in view of what had passed only a short time before. On the night of the betrayal. when Christ intimated that his disciples would forsake him in the
 
 spoke up and asserted that though all others forsook him, he would not for sake him. What Christ had said might be true of the rest, but, he was so loving, faithful, and true, that he would die for him. Yet before the cock crow of the next morning he had thrice denied that he knew Jesus, even with oaths such was the collapse Of the confident disciple who Loved the Master better than these" other dis ciples since the fall Christ had met Peter among the rest of the disciples but had not referred to this subject, but now has come the time for the restoration of Peter. Hence he probes him with the question, Lowest thou me better than these? This question would at once recall to. Peter the boastfuI claim his awful denial and would pierce him to the heart. He no longer claims that he is the truest of the apostolic band, does not even af- firm confidently, but answers, Thou knowest my heart: thou knowest that love thee Then said the Savior, Feed my lambs" The modesty of Peters answer is better indicated in the Greek than in our version. The word used by the Savior for lowest is. very strong term: that used by Peter for Il love" is far less strong. After his shameful denial he was ashamed to even claim the highest love. Christ then once more. assigns 8 work to Peter. If he loves him he may feed his lambs. take care of the tender disciples of the Lord. The good shepherd will give him work as under hepherd.-Jo Johnson.
 Verses IS and 19 can oly rbe unde- stood as declaring that Peter should die the death of a martyr. The uni versal testimony of the ancient church is that he did thus die. It is asserted that he was crucified.
