Sunday School Lesson
For November 16th
Peter'* Coefeilion.
xThe fickle crowds have vanished
Jesus is alone with his disciples in a
quiet place. They are somewhere near
the wods, fountains and rocks of
Caesarea Phillippi. The place is far
removed from the distracting scenes
of Jerusalem. The beauty and quiet
of the place after a long: period of
retirement from the scenes of public
attention were conducive of meditative
thought. Even before Jesus asked
the momentous question of our
lesson the disciples had no4 doubt
pondered over the Person and Nature
of thcii Miracle Working leader.
Their daily impressions had very probably
compelled them to know what
others \vi re thinking of him.
Whom do men say that Christ Jet
sus, our Lord, is? What men say of
Christ is the only index we have as
tc what men think of Christ. The;
sayings of men concerning Christ arel
by no means uniform. It was thus;
in the days of the Apostles. If w<can
accept the answer of the Apostles
as an index of tire gtneral opinion
of men we note that men as a
rule had a very exalted opinion of
Christ. Evidently they looked upon'
him as being in a class with the greatest
of the prophets. We are glai
that this record does not contain the ;
idea of those ignoble ones who looked
upon Christ as a great teacher only I
or as a model man and nothinir more, i
While we wish that everyone could
realize the truth about the Lord Jesus
we arc glad to not that non-Christians
often place his character and
work on very high ground. For instance.
John Stuart Mill, an alleged
agnostic, wrote, anu ng other striking
things, that "religion cannot he I
said to have made a had choice in
pitching on this man us the ideal representative
guide of humanity,")
Charles Lamb once said: "If Shakos I
epeare should enter the room we
should all rise; if Jesus Christ should 1
enter, every one would kneel." We
are glad to find this neat* acknowlment
of Christ by a man of some literary
attainments. Surely his statement
would lead one to believe that
he saw in him divine sonshlp.
What men say of Christ Is of Importance.
But a question of far
more importance is whot do "I" say i
of Christ? The j ccond question
otrilces a vital place in your life and
mine. "Whom say ye that I am?"
This is personal and pointed. It can
not be evaded. Wo must say some- j
thing?we mustbe a living epistle
either for or against HIM; we cannot
be neutral.
Do*..- ? r?
We believe that he expressed the
opinion of a majority of the group.
"Thou art the Christ, the son of the
living God." Peter might have said
thou art the anointed one. For Christ
means anointed one. This answer exEAGLE

pressed by Peter is the same answer
that every believer gives to the question.
Unbeliever in Christ, thinking
as you are. in the midst of the so
quiet and beautiful hills, are you not
ready to make answer clear and
strong: "Jesus is the promised Savj
iour, and he is my Saviour, too..?
{Confess him and submit to HIM today.
I The first work that fell from the i
, lips of Jesus, after Peter made his j
j confession shows how he felt. The !
[word is literally translated "happy."'
How happy he yas to find someone
i who could speak for a group and ex
press a great trust in him. Ke war
happy indeed and the cause of his hap. j
piness was the fact that Gcd the '
Father had revealed this to Peter, and j
not any erring mental search.
The diety of our Lord has been re-1
vealed of God. We regret that there j
f are those who do not see and under-1
\ stand. The follower of Christ is noi |
j to argue or despise the person w:io j
decs not the isuliij of the de-1
I ity of our Lord. It is the Christian's
duty to plead the case of the tiail:-'
ened mind at the throne of grace and
to sincerely trust that he may finally
come and worship the Lord.
Jesuts told Peter that tie was r.
rock. The deity of Christ Is the rock
foundation of his church. It is around
men of the rock who have the revelation
of God as to the Saviour's d ity
within them that the church of the
living God is established. With such
men in his church, and no age has
been without them, even the gates of j
hell itself canont prevail. When wc
are in despair as to the church a very
good thing to do is to examine one's
own heart to if there Is any revelation
from God therr. Then count
the pillars in your church. If they
are men of the rock then the church
will stand.

A tfoy watched an expert give a
class a lesson in the way to revive a
person unconscious from water immersion
The next day the boy tried
it on a bathing companion and saved
bis life. Such a boy Justifies all the

declare. The Red Cross method of

large accession in a single year is
confidently expected as the result of
the campaign among 22.000 troops of

During the past year 4.7-16 men.
3.274 women. 9.731 boys and girls sue- 1
cessfully passed the rigid tests of the
Red Cross?an increase of 5.331 over
1923. Intensive Instruction is developing
hundreds of qualified examiners
for the Red Cross Life-Saving Corps,
who supplement the teaching staff
maintained by the national organization.
The cause of water safety is
therefore penetrating to new sections j
and eventually will cover all American
territory.
Recognition of this Red Cross service
for humanity Is growing apace. I
At the request of the War Department
every military training camp had life- |
saving Instruction last summer. Municipalities
have adopted the Red
CToss course, public and private
schools are offering it to students,
business, civic and athletic organisations
are promoting campaigns, and
police departments are making It a
