Peter Declares His Love. John FL:
lilo for Sunday, January 20.
Peter with some of the other disci-
pies after Christ's resurrection, for
no given reason went back 10 their
old trade of fishing, and Jesus, the
risen Lord, appeared to them call
ing to them with directions which
resulted in a great catch.
" IL "Simon Peter went up, and
drew the net to land full Of great
fishes, an hundred and fifty three. :"
Jesus was interested in the success
of the disciples work. 1t is a source
of encouragement that the same fact
is true for His followers today.
V. II. "Jesus saith unto them,
Come and dine. And none of the
disciples burst ask him, Who art
thou? knowing that it was the
Lord" Jesus was host. Likely the
food was miraculously provided.
Deeper than all this was the con-
tinued close fellowship which Jesus
would make supreme In that fellow
ship would be a further revelation
of himself.
v. ID. "This now is the third time
that Jesus showed himself to the
disciples. after that He had risen
from the dead 1t was the third
appearance as recorded by John,
whose record we now follow. The
fact of Christ's resurrection is funda-
mental to Christian faith - fact
that no one has been able to deny,
as it is SO well proven.
V Is. $50 when they had dined,
Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon,
son of Jonas, lowest thou me more
than these? He saith unto him, Yea,
Lord. thou knoWest that | love thee.
He saith unto him, feed my lambs
Note that Jesus uses the word Isl
mon as if he was not the rock
which is signified by the name 'Pe~
ter which he had given him. Jesus
put the great Christian test, 'LoV'
est thou me" with an added phrase
"more than these" as if to say IL
YOU are to be outstanding as lead
er, YOU must not only love me (the
word for Glove" being the Greek
term with the must force) but must
excel in love. Peter answered using
another term for love not so strong.
Peter was directed to give special
attention to the weaker members OF
the kingdom.
". 16. "He saith to him again a
second time, Simon, son of Jonas,
lowest thou me?" He said, Yea, Lord,
thou knoWest that l love thee. He
saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
There is to be no mistake as to the
application of the great Christian
test. Peter now shows his daring
spirit when he said "Thou know
est. In the revised version, Jesus
reply is "Tend my sheep. Christian
leaders are to guard others follow
ing the Christ.
V. IT. "He saith unto him the
third time, Simon, son of Jonas, low
est thou me Peter was grieved be-
cause he said to him the third time,
"Lovest thou me-" And he said unto
him, Lord thou knowest all things;
thou knowest that l love thee. Jesus
Saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
Peter now became most earnest, as
he was grieved. When Christians

that's just our fool idea about play
ing safe.
| Our most highly esteemed friend,
the Meigs scribe, wonders where we
slept, or il we slept at all, during
! our visit to Chicago. Now, Byron,
such query as that does certainly
surprise us. You surely do not know
| us very we'll. Don't you know that
an old troglodyte like the writer,
who in his calf days formed that
seemingly unbreakable habit of ''yet
a little sleep, or little slumber, a
little folding of the hands to Sleep
that such man would go to sleep
leaning on his shovel in the middle
of the street car track on Wabash
Avenue To further enlighten our
good friend, we used little more
judgment than he or our most san
guine friends would expect. We had
obtained the names of good lodging
places whre the price would not be
so depressing on our thin pocket
book. In addition, we found that
there were Sc hamburgers, like they
have in McConnelsville, and wasn't
that boon for a town no larger
tlidu CulCdSO.
But the best of all, we had in our
mind an example of that adventur-
Gus spirit which was found in our
good deceased friend, and your
neighbor, Isaac Hempfeld, who, it
is said, made trip to Chicago with
only six coppers in his pocket. How
he Jared, we know not, but doubtless
he was wiser and certainly not much
poorer when he got back 1t is our
guess that, instead of the six cents,
| it was his sixth sense that helped
him along. Besides, he went in June
and probably wore that Iong-tailed
coat that didn't fit too soon," and,
well anyway, we lacked Isaac's pi-
oneering spirit, but with a little
more than the proverbial $50 cents"
we sailed forth and found ourselves
in the Windy City, even without a
gun, and that our preparation to
spend the nights amid the din and
tumult of the city, was all for
naught. For 25 cents we could take
a Shore Line bus to Hammond, one
Of Chicago's large suburban cities,
where we found our sister whom we
hadn't seen for years, cozily and
comfortably fixed, so we made that
headquarters which suited us much
better than had we slept on an ivory
bed in one of those aristocratic sky
scraper hotels overlooking Michigan
Avenue.

Rev w. S. Mowery is using his
best effort to pay off some of his in
debtedness to Rev. F. B. Gilhousen
for the service he rendered here dur
ing the series of meetings. Rev.
Mowery is now assisting in evangel-
ical services at Bethlehem church,
near Byesville.
Without any previous warning,
our good friend and neighbor, Rev.
Andrew Misel, has disposed of much
Of his personal property and, with
his wife, who spent her last few
weeks in a hospital at GAINESVILLE,
left to make their home in Kansas
with one of their daughters. After
| 20 years of acquaintance, we regret
to have them leave. Better people
would be hard to find In our lone
and saddened condition, we will
miss that kindly light and sparkle
in his eye. Our best wishes accom-
pany this aged couple to their new
home. The farm, formerly the 7. A.
Petty place, has been rented for a
year to Dr.. Northrup of McConnels-
vile.
Some thoughtful, good-hearted
person has set out two evergreen
trees at the vestibule of the church.
Will the people see that those trees
are protected?
Did you notice the picture of
Prime Minister Chamberlain and
Dictator Mussolini talking at the
| Munich Peace conference in the Jan
12 T. R.? We did, and formed ar
| opinion right off the reel, and theI
proceeded to change the quotation
lot Robert Burns, which reads
i MANS inhumanity to man makes
countless thousands mourn. One of
| these men-yOu can guess s-and an.
other Of his ilk, right directly
north, seem determined to make

We always jump out from under

doctors, that is, medical or family

| high i'll our estimation Were we
| to behold a marble statue in some
| park, or before some institution OF
| learning, representing the deity
Jupiter, the first thing we'd think OF
| would be the horse doctor. The fam
| lily doctor doesn't have to know
J much, that is, when the patient can
talk and tell all about how he abus-
ed himself and everything leading
| up to the break in health, and all
that, but if the unfortunate victim
can't talk and help diagnose his case,
he just has to die. But with the
| horse doctor, it's some proposition
| the dumb brute can't talk, or even
give signs and the doctor just SIM
ply has to use his head and that's a
good deal.
