craven denial, Jesus bade Simon use
his fall and its lesson for the
strengthening Of the brethren. That
is the one useful remnant of a slump
into sin; 1t enables a Christian pa
tiently and sympathetically to help
those who are in like manner
tempted.
Of course, cocksure Simon pro-
tested that he had no need of such
warning; he was ready to follow his
Master even to prison and to death.
Then fell the dreadful words, THE
cock shall not crow this day, until
thou shalt thrice deny Me-" The
awesome foreknoWledge of what
awaited Him and His friends was
the heaviest end of the Saviour's
cross.
BY the Wrong Fire.
Let 1t be said to the credit of
stumbling Peter that, after his i'm
pulsive act of courage in the garden,
when he had drawn his sword and
cut off the ear of the high priests
servant. he did not flee, but, with
John, followed the Prisoner into the
court of the high priests palace. His
courage, though, was good for only
halfway loyalty.
Peter Joined the miscellaneous
crowd about the courtyard fire. The
cold of the night was as nothing
compared with the chill at his heart,
Which no earthly blaze could drive
away. Peters blunder was that he
tried to warm himself at the wrong
fire, where the foes of his Lord were
gathered-just as many Christians
today seek their pleasures in worldly
associations and pursuits, and then
wonder why their faith is faint.
Those who would keep in-and-in
with Christ must be out-and -out
for Him.
Then the tregedy befell. A mere
serving maid pointed Peter out as a
companion of Jesus. AS impulsive
IN his fear as he had been in his
faith, Peter instantly denied the
charge-aS If man can ever really
escape his identity. We are what
we are and we only store up trouble
for ourselves when we pretend to
be what we are not. The recent
Coster case is in point. The Chris
tian who tries to conceal his religion
finds himself in difficulties that de-
stroy both his peace of soul and his
power of witnessing.
Twice more the charge was made
that this stranger by the fire was
one OF the friends of the Accused
and poor Peter denied his Lord, even
with cursings and bluster. And then
the cock crew.
Worse befell, to crown Peters
misery. For at that moment-per-
haps as the prisoner was being led
across the courtyard-Jesus looked
at Peter, with the hurt look of a
betrayed friend; with the yearning,
compassionate look of a loving lead
er. That look broke Peters heart,
and he burst out into the night that
was not so black about him as the
darkness in his own soul. He had
denied his Lord!
I'm the hour of trial
Jesus, plead for me;
Lest by base denial
I depart from thee.
When thou seest me Waver,
With look recall,
Not for fear or favor
Suffer me to fall"

Cocksure and self -assertive, Peter

by declaring boastfully that, though
all others might fail the Master, he
would be faithful, even to the death.
That remark was strangely incon-
siderate of the feelings of the other
disciples and characteristic Of
Peters rash impulsiveness.
Our world is full of boastful
Peters, strutting in pride. They are
sure of themselves to an offensive
degree. There were many of them
in 1929, confident that their wealth
and position were permanent
strength and power. We have heard
some of those same men whimper-
ing in poverty and defeatism, during
the years that have followed. A
Scripture word that merits constant
coming is, Let him that standeth
take heed lest he fall" Even the
ripest saint is ever in danger. Pass

Some of us who have been alert
to Christian events over the past
generation could write a fearsome
list of one-time Christian leaders
who have collapsed morally, and
have disappeared from public view.
A noble and sanity minister once
said to me, in connection with the
shame of a fallen leader, II find in
myself the very same temptations
to which he succumbed Only the
grace of God has kept me from
these shameful sins" Every reader
of these words knows that the crash
of self-confldent Peter is possible to
himself.
The Leader Who Knew.
We tarry for a moment by the
sacred scene in the Upper Room.
Jesus had poured out His loving,
breaking heart to His friends. He
loved them to the uttermost, al
though fully understanding their
frailty. One mark of a true leader
is patience with his followers. Jesus
knew Judas and Peter better than
they knew themselves.
So he addressed the latter, not by
his rock name of Peter, but as Simon
Simon, the old, weak, wavering,
up-and-doWn fisherman who had yet
to come into the full inheritance of
his new name. Seeing beyond the
