i â- -n Sunday School Lesson 'Welcome Home" To New Conservative Leader LESSON IV PETER DENIES HIS LORD Luke 22:31-34,54-62 Qolden Text â€" "Let him that thinketh he standeth taka heed lest he faN." 1 Cor. 10:12. THE LESSON L^f ITS SETTING Time â€" Thursday evening, A> rll 6. A.D. 30. Place â€" The warning v/as given by our Lord In the upper room of the last supper; tiie denial occur- red in the court-yard ot the high priest's palace. 31. Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to hare you, that he might sift you as wheat. 32. But I. This verse Is bright with the light ot our Lord's love and power. He, the one speaking, knew the power of Satan as no man has ever known it. and in every conflict with Satan he won. Made supplication for thee, that thy faith fall not. We should not lose ourselves in speculating vv-he- ther or not Christ could have kept Satan from tempting Peter; this we can be sure of, that Christ had his purpose in allowing this tempta- tion. For this reason Christ did not pray that Peter should not be even tempted, but that in the temptation he would not lose his faith. This prayer was answered. Peter did fall, he did deny the Lord. As long as a man has faith, anytliing is possible. This is one thing that the devil cannot take aw^ay from you and me, once we know the saving power ot the Lord Jesus Christ. And do thou, when once thou hast turned again, establish thy brethren. The Lord not only knew that Peter would deny him, but he also knew that Peter would be restored, and would be used mightily in strength- ening his brethren in the days to come. 33. And he said unto him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death. Instead of fal- ling at the Lord's feet, and plead- ing with him regarding the terrible fact concerning which Christ was here informing him, Peter has more confidence in his own feelings than in Christ's word. 34. And he said, I tell thee. Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, until thou Shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. It would seem that every conceivable e.xperience -8f which the human heart is cap- able would have strengthened Peter that night to die before saying any- thing against the Savior. 54. And they seized him. and led him away, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed from afar oft". 53. And when they had kindled a tire in the midst ot the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat in the very midst ol! them. Peter has no defense to make for his denials. There was only one word of hope that he could recall. Jesus had said, when lie foretold his fall, "and do thou, when once thou hast turn- ed again, establish thy, brethren' (Luke 22:32). Jesus, then, did have faith in his recovery, and did hold out work tor him to do after that. Peter fell into bad company the instant he fell out with God. We fol- low Jesus afar off when we refuse to defend the doctrine ot redemp- tion before unbelievers who scoff; when we strain Christian liberty to see how much we can indulge in w^orldliness. 5G. And a certain maid seeing him as he sat in the light of the fire, and looking steadfastly upon him, said. This man also was with him. Peter was taken completely by surprise. It was as if a mask had been torn from his face. In a mom- ent the instinct of terror seized him. Indeed, there was a further shame: how could he confess him- self the disciple of the Master whom he had heard blasphemed without protest? 57. But he denied, saying, Woman I know him not. 55. And after a little while an- other saw him, and said. Thou also art one of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not. 59. And after the apace ot about one hour another confidently affirmed, s.iyiug. Of a truth this man also was with him; for he Is a Galilean. GO. But i'etcr said, Man, 1 know not what thou sayest. Once Peter begun to lie, he had to keep it up. The third denial was the basest ot them all, because he had had more time to consider what he was doing. It Indicates de- finitely that Peter had decided in hlsl heart to go on lyins about Je- sus and denyiu.? Jesus. This is what the Psalmist calls a ••piesumi> tuous sin." (Ps. l!):i:i) .\nd immed- iately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. HI a. .Aud the Lord turn- ed, aud looked upon Peter. Lnke 22: Ul, G2. «1 b. .And Peter remembered thi,' word of the Lord, how that he said unto him. Before the cock crow this day thou shalt deny me thrice. G2. And' he went out, and wept Wtterly. Peter's pride i.s broken. Khs boasttuluess Is gone; from this iour he is a different man. He wat ik Christian before, but now he also knows the Lord, right now he also knows that he himself can do noth- ing In his own strength. Me wept because he knew his own self bad »et a final defeat; he wept bec.Hi>' tbe lora ot Christ had been pouvod Uew into his treacherous heart.

Fat Men Leaders In Selling Line They Do the Best in Business, Investigations Show â€" Make Topnotch Salesmen Fat men do best in business, ac- cording to investigations carried out by the National Institute of In- dustrial Psychology and Herr Ernst Kretschmer, a German psycholo- gist. An institute investigator has been touring British selling organi- zations recording, the weights of sales managers. He found that "go- getters" averaged 173 pounds while the not-ao-successful were fifteen pounds lighter. He said: â- 'I found that men with full, smooth faces, thin figures and wiry build have a tendency to be polite, sensitive, earnest, exclusive in their friends, cold and emotionally crip- pled. "They make good professors, en- gineers, and detail workers, but are not so successful as sales manag- ers. They are more methodical and painstaking, but are inclined to be over-anxious. "They are logicak-and more cap- able of planning, but not so able to put plans into force." Sales Show Drop In Country Stores Sales of country general stores in Canada in November, 1938, were G.2 per cent, lower than in November, 1937, according; to re- turns received by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics from 700 merchants located in villa.ccos and rural areas throughout the Oomin- ion. Decreases were regi.^toreil in all economic divisions. Sales in the Maritime Provinces showed the largest drop, that of 13 nor cent., while sales in Quebec wore down six per cent., Ontario live.

A New Cure For Reckless Driving Mayor Fred Huester hopes to make Scranton, Pa., safe through "embarrassing reckless drivers by painting circles on the rear of their cars." -A. first offense against traffic laws would rate a yellow ring, a second offense red and a third blue. The circles will slay on 30 daysâ€" if the city legal de- partment decides the punish- ment is lawful. The mayor rea- soned a marked car would get a wide berth. Test Acoustics Of Parliament Commons and Senate Chambr ers of Ottawa Make Hearing Difficult The parliamentary session just started has revived the question ot the acoustics of the Senate and tha House ot Commons. In the Com- mons chamber particularly It is next to Impossible for people in the public galleries to hear debates unless the speakers raise their voices to a pitch more suitable to the hustings than to the House. The Senate chamber is smaller and In there the conditions are not so bad; but they are still not good. May Wire For Sound Last season the Senate made an attempt to improve things. An ex- periment was made with the instal- lation of a public-address system, and the chamber was wired for sound. One evening at adjournment the contrivances were tried out. In general the effect was good, much better than without the system. But the conservatism of the elder statesmen was too powerful. Tha whole problem was ''referred to tha Committee on Internal Economj," which is another way ot saying that It was ditched. In the Parliamentary Press Gal- lery, opinion Is divided as to tha wisdom of iastalliug a system that would make for clearer hearing. The political reporters would ap- preciate such a thing when good speeches are being made but, un fortunately, a great deal ot chaff Is mixed with the straw. More Marriages, Births Recorded In Ontario, 1937 Statistics Show Increase in Pop* ulation, With Cities and the Rural Areas Gaii.ging at Ex- pense of Towns â€" "T. B." Deaths Down Marriages and births are up in Ontario, according to tha vital statistics for 1937 prepared by the Ontario Government. Eight persons out of every 1,000 entered marriage in 1937. The figure, to be exact, is 8.1, compared with 7.5, per 1,000 in 1936, and 7.8 in 1928. The birth rate increased to 16.6 per 1,000 of population in 1937, above 13.3 in 1936. But it is below the rate of 1928, which was 20.9. Population 3,711,000 Since 1928 Ontario's population has moved from 3,229,000 to 3,- 711,000 in 1937, but the move- ment of population has been to- ward cities and rural areas rather than towns. Both rural and city population has increased, but town population â€" that is, people living in towns of 5,000 or over â€" de- creased. The tuberculosis death rate in 1937 dropped to 35.4. Ten years No Fire Both city firemen at London,' Ontario, and provincial police were called to the scene of an unusual accident on No. 4 high- way, opposite the Hunt Club, when William Duncanson, 50, of Byron, Mich., skidded on the icy road, swerved from one side to the other, snapped off a hydro pole and ended up against a stout tree. In break- ing off the hydro pole the alarm system leading to Mount St. Joseph's Orphanage, was set off and city firemen responded to the alarm. Are You Listening?

OLD - COUNTRY RECEPTION One of the engineering advance- ments ot the 19o9 Rogers Spread- Band models provides six individual spread-band dials, each 10" wide with only one dial visible at a time. This feature simplifies tuning, par- ticularly for women. By spreading out each ot the four short-wave bands, from one inch to ten inches, Old-Country reception is now easy to tune in without iutorferenco.
