Dr. Talmage preached from the following lext : "So the carpenter enconraged tbe goldsmith, and lu- that smoothi'th with the hammer him that smote the anvil," Isaiah xli. 7. There had been war made upon idolatry, and it friend-" K:nhernd to the scene. The carpenler wenl to work nnd cut oul idols to take the p!*oe of those that had been destroy- ed, lad the blacksmith fashioned parts of tho Idol on the anvil and the gold- smith adorned what the other two mechanics had made. "The carpen- ter encouraged the goldsmith and he tht smoothcth wilh the hammer him that smote iho anvil." When I read that passage I wondered why it was that in the kingdom of trod we could not be just a well banded togelher why. since there U work for every Christian man to do, we could not rll bo encouraging each other I ncour- intr you by the way I do my work, and you me by the vv jy in which, you d. your work, and so, in spiritual and Christ i iu sense, "tho iMrpcn't-r cnrouriging the gold-nmh, and he that smoothuth with tbe buiiiiuer him thu smote the anvil."

Jesus saith to Simon 1'ete:. Simon, son of . lonas, luv-st i hou me, more than these? Are you nidi confident that you love me. more than the other dis- ciples love ue f The question was not asked to arou.se :n Tci.-r's in. ml, or in thu mind* of hia fellows any compar- ison or jealousy, liul Peter himself had aroused these by his confident professions. Matt. L'6.33; Murk, U. JO and, so far as we know, these gentle words are the only spoken rebuke- Pet- e.r ever received from our Lord for bis three denials. In reply Peter no longer compares .him-ell' with others, but, as Dr. Churl on lieaut ifully says, 'peaks as one that knows he ought tO loVC most, bee ill -in to llltll most has been forgiven." It is notiee.il>!. that the evangelist refers to his friend as "Simon Pot'.-r." but makes J.-sus call him, "Simon, on of Jonas."
