What a circulation this column has,

Word is being received daily from all

We are slated for another field

tell you more about it, but we can’t
right at the present; but be sure to
see this column next week for the
details. It should be good.
It looks like we are going to be

Not to stop at that either, we

Red Men Tribe Adopts
Unique Plan To Boost
Attendance At Meetings
’ Chowan Tribe of Red Men, on
Monday night adopted a rather uni
-1 que scheme to stimulate attendance,
which will result in one of the mem
bers being presented with a $26
War Bond. Beginning next Monday
, night, each member present at the
weekly meetings will deposit a ticket
! in a box on which he will write his
name. This procedure will be follow
ed for three months, at which time
' one ticket will be picked from the
’ box and the member, if he is present,
’ will be awarded the $25 Bond.
’ The scheme will begin next Mon
’ day night and terminate the last
’ Monday night in July, with the dnaw
’ ing to take place the first Monday
night in August. If the member
| whose name is drawn is not present
at the time, the drawing will con
-1 tinue until a name is drawm of a
1 member who is present.
Attendance is expected to increase,
for the more meetings attended, the
more tickets will he in the box and,
of course, chances increased to win
1 the Bond.
The Red Men are also considering
’ investing all surplus funds of the
Tribe in War Bonds, the purchase to
’ be made next month, which is desig
• nated as fraternity month in the
War Bond drive.

CHRIST’S CHARGE TO PETER
International Sunday School Lesson
for May 2, 1943
GOLDEN TEXT: “Greater love
hath no man than this, that a
man lay down his life for his
friends.”—John 15:13.
(Lesson Text: John 21:15-24).
Our lesson text tells of the appear
ances of Jesus to seven disciples on
the shore of the Sea of Galilee,
Some days have elapsed since the
resurrection. While this is .the sev
enth appearance of Jesus since that
supreme event, it is only the third to
his disciples. The first time it was
to the eleven on the evening of the
day of the resurrection. The second
appearance was eight days later to
the same group, with Thomas who
was previously absent, then on hand.
So, the present appearance at the Sea
of Galilee is the third appearance of
Jesus to his apostles. All three are
reported by John’s gospel.

the other disciples left Jerusalem, in
dark despair and returned to their
own home towns. It is easy to Im
agine the state of mind these dis- '<
ciples were in at this time. Probably, j
as a means of keeping their minds oc
cupied in order that they could not 1
think of the happenings of the recent'
past, Peter declared, “I go a-fishing” j
and he was immediately joined by!
several of the other disciples.
They fished hard all night and, as
the dawn was breaking, the seven
tired men tfere returning empty
handed to the shore. Suddenly, they
heard a voice from the shore asking
about their catch and commanding
them to cast their net on the right
side of the boat. They obeyed and
drew in so many fish that they were
in danger of sinking their boat.
The effect of this incident caused
John to exclaim, “It is the Lord!”j
Peter, impulsive as ever, jumped J
overboard and swam to the shore.
There he and the disciples found that
Jesus had prepared a tempting
breakfast for them. When the meal
was over, Jesus turned his eye on
Peter and, in the hearing of all the
disciples, asked him a very pertinent *
question, “Lovest thou me?”
Three times Jesus asked Peter in
regard to his love for him. At first,
the world used by Jesus involved“the
idea of affectionate reverence, prompt
I obedience, grateful recognition of
j benefits received.” In his answer
Peter employed a Word indicating a
• personal, emotional love. Finally, in
the third question, as said by R. C.
Trench, Jesus “employs the" vvord
which alone will satisfy Peter, which
alone expresses that personal affec
tion with which his heart is full.”
“Simon was thoroughly emptied of
self, thoroughly broken down, and
the love of Christ had done it,” says
Dr. George Reith. “It was well that
all this should take place in the
presence of the rest of the apostles.
They, too, would feel humble in the
humiliation of their representative
self; they, too, would feel lifted up
in their brother’s lifting up; for the
fall of one brother is the weakness
of all. In thus restoring Simon
Peter, the Lord was maldng the
bond of brotherhood among the dis
ciples, which had been relaxed and
strained through Peter’s fall, strong
and firm again.”
We have a personal lesson from
Peter’s experience, as stated by Dr.
Harry Emerson Fosdick: “Down be
neath the things I do, God is looking
also to see the things I am strug
gling to do. Down beneath the things
I accomplish, He is looking to see
the masterful passion of my life; and

of those who achieved new or unusual
experiences with God, or discovered

“Again and again the church has
