Sunday School Lesson
DR.. Hugh T. Stevenson

his brother, who had accepted the Bap-
lists statement about the Master and
sought an interview with Him. Con-
vinced that He was the Messiah. An
drew sought out and persuaded his own
brother that Jesus was the Messiah.
Moved by his brothers testimony and
convictions about Jesus, Peter went
with Andrew, who as q result. was des-
tined to be known In history as Simon
Peters brother, because he brought him
to Jesus. Our faith ought to inspire
those In our own home to accept the
Master as their Savior. If we followed
the example of Andrew, we would seek
to. win our family and friends for
Christ.
1t was the greatest event in the life
of Simon the son of John. when he
came in contact with the Master. Chris
tian growth always starts by personal
contact with Christ Jesus looked into
the very depths of Simon'S soul and saw
the possibilities hidden beneath the
surface of that impuisive fisherman. He
saw that Simon needed Ito be strength
ened and tempered; to have his i'm
pulses steadied, and to have his essen
tial strength developed" In the appar-
emily common placed toiler, Jesus de-
ness and distinction as leader In the
development of His Church. He assured
Simon of his future by giving him the
name of Peter, which indicated that he
would become rock. Jesus saw that he
would become Peter, but 1t would not
be accomplished in a day. The Master
sees our possibilities and whenever any
soul comes In contact personally with
Him, they are certain to become new
creations" In Him and start a develop
ment of their divine life.
The Masters confidence in Simon
Peter was confirmed by His asking
bers of the Apostolic College that He
conducted to fit them to carry on His
work after He had completed the work
Of salvation. Fellowship with Christ be-
came factor in Peters spiritual de-
velopment. When the Master was testing
the capacity of His disciples to appre-
ciate His character, Peter, who was a
natural leader and spokesman for the
twelve, replied to the Lords question
concerning Himself by making his great
confession. When Peter declared that
Thou art the Christ" he did more
than express his personal opinion and
faith in the character and mission Of
Jesus, for with those words he gave to
the Master. a pledge of loyalty and de-
votion. He failed, as we have and all
men do, but Jesus demonstrated His
confidence in Peter by restoring him to
his service, after he had denied the
Lord three times, teaching Peter how
to prove his personal love to the Risen
Lord by following His word. Christ
showed Peter that His plan for His re-
stored apostle called for him to gather
men into His Church out of the world
for Him. BY doing His will and work,
every Christian grows in accordance
with the laws of spiritual growth.
| Law Of Christian Growth.
Paul recognized that his Christian
growth had not been completed. He
had not attained unto the stature OF
the Christ. but he was confident that
God, who had commenced the new life
In him, would make 1t complete. Al
though the apostle recognized the work
of God in the development of the

eminent, the first President suggested
the erection of "a church for national
purposes" Although a site was indi-
Gated in the original plan for the city.
no action was taken toward its erection
during Washington's lifetime.
The building of such an edifice as
George Washington desired has become
the heritage OF the present generation
and has won the support Of thousands
Of persons throughout the Nation.
The foundations. three crypt chapels
and the apse of Washington Cathedral
are structurally complete as are the
choir walls and portion Of the cross
ing piers. Present construction in
wolves the vaulting or stone ceiling

Christ Church, Philadelphia, Pa.

THE organization of Christ Church.
L. in Philadelphia, dates almost from
the founding of the colony. but the
present structure was completed only In
1887. 1t is solidly built of bricks brought
from England and in the style of St
Martin Sin the Fields, London. Seven
teen years after its completion a set of
chimes was brought from London and
installed in the belfry. To pay for
them Benjamin Franklin conducted a
public lottery. The captain of the ship
Myrtilla refused all compensation for
their transportation.
These chimes we're the special pride
of the townspeople. and well they might
be, for they were almost the first In
the Colonies. They were rung at noon
every day, and in the evening; they
peeled whenever there was good news;
and they peeled In muffled tones when
ever news of disaster was proclaimed
On July 4, 1776, they tolled loudly the
