oOk11C pCl lOOIlS, W. - ASAAA"'
like Teddy Roosevelt" famous edi-
tor once said to me. "are Instructive
ly makers. Whether you like
them or dislike them, they interest
you." Peter was of this sort. He was
forever doing or saying something
that holds the eye. On this occa-
sion, he grabbed his cloak and gir-
die, for he was naked, and simply
swan or strobe the hundred yards to
shore.
Johns report of the nakedness of
Peter is a little touch of verisimili-
tude. To this day the fishermen of
Galilee are often naked. One day,
strolling along the shore at Tabgha,
Milady and came upon our friend,
Ali, without stitch of clothing upon
him. He instantly submerged to the
neck, grinning sheepishly, while his
comrades cast jibes at him.
Whatever else he was, Peter was
a doer. Life is roughly divided into
two groups: the spectators or critics,
and the doers. Some folk do things,
and the other folk talk about them.
We weary of the critics, but we re-
joice in the doers-the ones who
dare 60 overheard for a conviction.
So quick-acting Peter was the first
to greet the Lord whom he had late
ly denied.
Who Cooked That Breakfast?
On the shore awaited the Man
whose disciples this boatload of
fishermen were. He had undergone
the experience Of death and resur-
rection. But still He was the same
Jesus, the out-of doors man who
knew how to make a quick fire, and
to catch and cook fish. The fact that
Jesus prepared that breakfast starts
an interesting line of thought. No
Impractical, bookish recluse was He.
He holds rendezvous with friends
amidst the simplicity of nature.
At this point in my writing I was
interrupted to hear a letter from a
friend whose only son is in service.
She had spent the day, with a large
group of Frankford neighbors, in
putting up food boxes for American
prisoners of war. Although an ex-
traordinarfly active person in vari-
GUS forms of war work, she wrote
that this task of actually providing
food for our hungry, honeSick boys
had thrilled her more than any,
thing she has ever done. This war
is bringing us immeasurable oppor-
tunities to follow the example of
Jesus in providing food for the hun
CRY. The task is so heavy that it is
testing the. uttermost resources of
craftsmanship.

which more later-the threefold
injunction of the Master was
Feed My lambs! Feed My sheep!
Shepherd my sheep Even after
His resurrection, Jesus bore on
His heart the burden of human
needs. Even now, on His throne
of glory, His yearning interest
reaches out to the real needs of
humanity He commands His dis
ciples to feed the bodily and spirit
ual needs of mankind. How little of
our preaching and writing is real
soul-sustenance!
Today, as never before in living
memory, "the hungry sheep look
up and are not fed" There is
unprecedented religious questing
in our world today. 1t finds ex-
preston everywhere-amongst our
servicemen, in halls of legislation,
in the press and from countless
platforms. People are reaching
out blind hands toward God. They
know that our ultimate hope is
in Him. We cannot envisage a
new world without His kingship.
Hearts yearn for an experience of
Him. The sheep are crying to be
fed. Here is major task for par
ents, for preachers, for Sunday
school teachers, for editors, for
commentators, for all who have &C
cess to individuals or to multitudes.
Feed MY sheep"
The Uncomprehending Peter.
This lakeside meeting with the
disciples was Christ's opportunity
to restore-and to test-his errant
disciples. Peter was hag ridden by
his sin of denial of his Lord. He
could easily have fallen into the
plight of the morbid ones of whom
the psychiatrists tell us, who are
obsessed by the memory Of past
offenses. Jesus forgave Peter and
on this occasion restored him to
his old place, promising him, how
ever, that he should follow his
Master to a death on the cross.
Two tests Jesus applied to Peter
love and service. At this point in
the story we are hindered by the
inadequacy of the English language.
We need the Greek to enable us to
understand. For when Jesus asked,
Simon, son of John, do you love
Me more than these others do?"-
he should, for he had been forgiven
much - He employed the word
"agapa" that is used in the New
Testament to denote divine love; as,
God is agapa." AS if the Master
had said, Simon, do you love Me
with the same sort of love that
have for you?"
In his reply Peter employed a
lesser word, "phileo," the sort OF
love that one man has for another
Even on this lower level, Peter was
hidden. Feed My lambs"
Again Jesus repeated His question
using "agapa," and again Peter re-
piled with 'plnileo." Still, on higher
level or lower, the duty remained
BE a shepherd to My sheep"
A third time Jesus asked, do you
even 'phileo' Me?" That touched
Peters heart and penetrated his
understanding and he stimblingly
replied, Master, you know every
thing; You can see that You are
dear to me-" uss3 st4a
Then came again the reply, which
is the lesson of this lesson, Feed
My Sheep" Love must be proved
by service.
