THE LIFE OF
SIMON PETER
BY REV. EDWARD TABER

coward. That fact was proved
abundantly and beyond dispute
after the Resurrection the first
Easter morning. Peter, along
with the other apostles, became
thoroughly convinced that the
Lord was risen.
This faith, which amounted to
a conviction that would admit
Of no dispute, transformed the
lives of the disciples and through
them changed the history Of the
world. Indeed, it was recorded
of them that "they had turned
the world upside down." The
former Gallilean fisherman be-
came q preacher of rare elo-
quence and undoubted power. He
became one Of the supremely
courageous men Of all times.
Repeatedly he was warned that
to continue in his course meant
certain death, and yet he kept
on without hesitation or com.
promise. He was flogged,- inn
prlsoneds prosecuted, and trade
ton lays at last crucified, but
he kept unswervingly to his de-
termination to preach the gospel
at all costs.
It is difficult to estimate the
debt which civilization owes to
this man. He, together with
Paul, was the great evangelist
of the new faith. There was
vast need Of q teaching that
would bring religious hope to
the world. The gods and god
desses of Greece no longer ex-
erted any influence on the peo-
pie. "Men had scaled Olympus
and found no gods there" The
religion of Rome was decadent
and materialistic.
Christianity, propagated large
~ by the efforts of Simon Peter,
brought to the world a new
hope and ultimately a new
civilization.

The life Of Simon Peter is in
teresting, both from the stand
point Of his achievements and
his personal character.
Outside Of the Apostle Paul
there is no character in the his
tory Of the early church who did
as much for Christianity as the
fisherman who forsook his nets
and followed the Master.
It is, indeed, doubtful If any
one but Christ could have made
a success Of Simon Peter. He
was emotionally unstable to the
last degree. He had both tenn
per and temperament. He was
not a highly cultured man, and
he certainly did not have the ad-
vantages Of an extensive educa-
ton. But it would be altogether
unfair and inaccurate to say that
he was either ignorant or un-
couth.
He had keen and ready mind
that made up in large degree for
his lack Of formal education. He
was energetic. He had many Of
the attributes of a natural leader,
but it remained for Christ to
bring out the best in him. The
Master showed a rare tact and
understanding in dealing with
the erratic apostle.
In the three-year ministry Of
Christ, Peter was the leader of
the twelve disciples, and was
with the Master almost constant
ly. The story of his denial of
Jesus at the trial, after his
declaration of a willingness to
die for Him rather than deny
him, is well known.
Simon Peters denial Of Christ,
however, is an isolated incident
in his career. His conduct at the
time of the trial and crucifixion
was anything but typical. What
ever else he was, he was no

The estimates for the Department of
Justice for 1929 include pay for addl-

motions. An increase of $157,00O is
asked for miscellaneous expenses of
United States courts. composed OF
S119. 900 for salaries and travelling eX-
penses of law clerks for circuit judges,
S23 900 for salaries and expenses Of
stenographers and salaries of mes
sengers for the new United States dis
trict Judges, and S15, 900 for salaries
and expenses of stenographers to spe-
cial assistants to the Attorney Cen
eral in prohibition cases.
Material increases are recommended
for the various Federal penal institu-
tions to provide for an increasing pop
ulatiOn and to meet the increase in
the clothing allowance and cash gra-
tuity authorized by the act of July 3,
1926.
For Mcneil Island $177,10 is asked
for construction and equipment pur-
poses. An item is included of $4,000
for an additional family building to
house 40 boys at the National Train
ing School for Boys. An appropria-
ton of SIS 900 was made in 1928 for
similar building. Funds are re-
quested to provide for additional
guards for the various penitentiaries.
Reductions are contemplated in the
printing item, for pay of special as
sistant attorneys, for fees of commits

smaller amount for rent Of court

The estimates for 1929 show an in
crease of only IA per cent over the
appropriations and supplemental estl-
mates for 1928, which is below the
usual rate of increase shown in
previous years. This increase does
not, however, fairly represent the pro-
vision that has been made in the et
Inmates for the expansion of the postal
service in the fiscal year 1929, by rea-
son of the fact that the estimates and
appropriations for 1928 were based
upon an anticipated increase or b per
cent in postal business. 1t now ap-
pears that the increase in business In
1928 will not amount to more than 4
per cent. While it has not been pos
sible to reduce expenses in a CORE.
spending ratio, the need for additional
employees and supplies has not been as
great as it otherwise would have been.
1t is now estimated that the expend-
itures in 1928 will be approximately
$14 100000 less than the appropria-
tions. On this basis the estimates for
1929 wiz show an increase of approx
imately $25 400 600, or "a per cent,
over the estimated expenditures for
1928. The 1929 estimates are again
figured on the basis of a per cent in
crease in postal business, which is
considered the only safe basis in esti-
mating so far in advance require
ments of the service.
Post Office Increases.
The more important increases and
decreases are as follows:
An increase in departmental salaries
of 500 800, which provides for five ad-
ditional craftsmen in the division of
topography of the Fourth Assistant
Postmaster Generals office and promo
tions in the several bureaus of the de-
partment.
An increase of $650,000 for COM
pensation of Watchmen, messengers
and laborers, to provide for automatic
promotions authorized by law and ad-
ditional laborers in post offices.
An increase of 100000 for car fare
and bicycle allowances, because of in
creased number of city delivery car
riers who, in the interest of economy
of time, must be transported over the
larger area occupied by the increasing
population of the larger cities.
An increase of 81, 100000 for city de-
livery carriers. to provide for the auto
matte promotions authorized by law
and for necessary additions to the
force.
An increase of s45O,O 900 for vehicle
service, principally for the purchase
of new equipment.
An increase of SO 100000 in the pro-
visions for carrying air mail by pr1.
vate contractors, due to the marked
| increase in mail offered for transmits

$218. 900 to $240,O00 in the items for
salaries and expenses. A new item of
$50. 900 is included to begin construc-
ton of a chemistry building to cost
1890. 600. The estimates for Freed
mems Hospital show an increase from
$1SS. 900 to $422 900, largely the result
of the inclusion of an estimate OF
$242 600 for an enlargement or the
nurses home, for new dining room
and kitchen facilities, for remodellng
the power plant, and for an addition
to the employees quarters.
