from Jerusalern halted their carnels on the river side to listen also.
 have sometimes imagined that have seen three men. Peter Andrew aI1dssJohn camping in one of the tents and as they returned from one of the services have heard Peter say, q wish He wouldn't talk as he did to- night. for he said that there was one coming after him whose shoes he was not worthy to unlocse."
 The next day Andrew took his brother Peter to see Jesus and the first thing that Jesus said. to him was what is your name, and Peter. said, My name is Simon. son of Barjonaa, !" and the master. looked at him and said, Why. Peter. you are capable of being Peter a rock" That was a new idea to Peter. He never dreamed for a moment that he could be as firm as rock. and so the Master revealed to him possibilities in his. own nature, which Peter had never dreamed of and so Christ comes to all Of us and says. Jacob. tricilster by name and nature, you are capable, of being Israel a prince" and he says to Saul. 'You old infidel; can make out of you St. Paul the Apostle. '
 Please do rot think that you have e-Oee~i1iC0s SO lAlS- ne comes to you men of the world wrap ped up in business anxious to make money and anxious to iIake a name for yourself in the city where you live, and he comes silently to you and says there are powers in you which if you would. let me control would make. you 8 leading man of God in this con11nu- nit3. and he comes to you women of !the world wrapped up in, the fads and fraY Yoliffes of this age and he says to you if you would let me have that win 3sofneness and that charm of person ality could shape and mould it so that, yoU' would be Q. great in f1uei1ee in
 this community. for the things of
 f:igilIeousness: i-,: .,.-'
 The second. step; is stq. find out: who isag going. with the Master. Peter. never got over the fdea that he vas capable of something more than. tisiIthg so lie followed Christ and saw him turn the water into wine. and from there to Je- rusale and then. he left him and went back. to bis fshing.s l. "A About nine fnonths after. he had Jeff the. Master heS was oTerhauling bis | gear one rnorQing when a voice saiG to him. Lend me your boat" and ht looked gp afld saw the. Master stand ing there. He Called Some of his n1er .aiid -.they Iushed 9the boat out into tn, | .Bater.s. The Master. preached a ser. mon from the boat to crowds that ga.
 thered around the edge of the lake l After the sermon was finished tlat
 Master said, let down your nets for { draGght. He wanted to pay Peter 10,
 the use of his boat and wanted to sur.
 prise him at the same time. and ther,
 comics the possible collision that mus I e tr, xx1I-. | is going to control Peter might hay, 1 said "What's the use. we do not catcl any fish in the daytime and we hav been gishing all night and haven't hat l a strike" and that moment that cam l to Peter comes to every one of US. Ar l you going to let Him control or ar l you going to do it? --'t.''

She pout ed and fusSeds and cried. but at tn l end of. ths,t hour she spicked:i up an , coming to me I put my. arms aroun il her and kissed Tier and said. "Bett! I it's never going to happen again. II it 2. and she said, ,""Ne. Daddy Per haps you are better than I am. bu T there must come to every, one of U
