Sunday School Department SUNDAY, MAY 1, 1927 Subject: Peter’s Denial and Re pentance. Golden Text: Let Mm that thinketh lie standeth take heed lest he fall. I Cor. 10:12. Central Troth: Following Jesus afar off leads us into temptation. Scripture: Mark 14:53, 54, '66-71; Luke 22 61, 62. 53. And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and there came together with him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. 54. And iPeter followed him afar off, even within, into the court of the liigh priest; and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire. - 66. And as Peter was beneath in the court, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest; 67. And seeing Peter warming him self, she looked upon him and saith, Thou also wast with the Nazarene, even Jesus. 68. But he denied, saying, I neither know, nor understand what thou say est; and he went out into the porch; and the cock crew. 69. And the maid saw him, and be gan again to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. 70. But he again denied it. And af ter a little while again they that stood by said to Peter, Of a truth thou art one of them; for thou art sf Galilaean. 71. But he began to curse, and to swear, I know not this man of whom j ye speak. 61. And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, hpw that he said unto him, Before, the cock crow this day thou shall deny me thrice. 62. And he went, out, and wept bit terly. Introduction The scene has charfged from the glory of Christ, in last Sunday’s les son, to the -humiliation in the lesson today. Peter has the privilege of "witnessing both of these phases of Christ’s life. He did not believe that sinful men could take Jesus; and when the master rebuked him for the assistance which he offered, he sheathed his sword and stood back to see what would take place. Jesus had used many means, and methods, to prepare Peter and the rest of the disciples for this occasion; "but Peter could not believe that this could ever happen to the Son of God whom he had so lately seen in the •glory of the Father. On The Text ' Verse (63)—Jesus who willingly submitted, would have gone to the judgment without being led as a criminal; but as Isa. (63:7) puts it -‘He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter”, The case is of such importance that the members of the Sanhedrin which could not legally meet death until after sunrise, came together id the ni<rht to confer together on the case. Verse (64)—We condemn Peter for not staying close to Jesus in the hour 6f hiB deep trial; but let us bear In mind that all the rest of the dis ciples except one, had. forsaken snd fled altogether; so perhaps his de votion to Christ is more manifest than any of the disciples except one. Peter’s temptation to deny the Lord seems to have come through his associating with, and enjoying the comforts of the enemy. Verse (66)—The maid mentioned in this verse according of (John 18:171 &as the maid who kent the door, and liad seen Peter and John come in. Verse (67)—She not merely crlanced at him, but searched him with her eve; and having assured herself that she was not mistaken, she dec’ared that he as well as John was with Jesus. , . , Verse (68)—Instead of giving awav under the searching eyes of the maid, Peter hardened his heart, and made his first denial, by pretending not to know what the maid was talk ing about. Peter then sought a less conspicious place, and went out on the porch. Tribute To Life Of Mrs. Julia C. Fuller which she greatly enjoyed. Mrs. Fuller is one of the most ^ remark able women of her day, truly. He1 elegant and varied attainments, her lay wish to of any of ig reception faculty for affairs would sub worker thinks all of . "j_ftntaHfV Verse (70)—Peter now denies for the second time, according to (Uatt 26:72) with an oath; But he could not convince his accusers. Matthew says that his speech betrayed him and they knew that he was a Galila ean. Verse (71)—He could not carry his point by the use of lies and deceit; so he resorted to profanity; taking the name of his Lord in vain. Immediately after the third denial the cock crew, according to the dec-' laration of Jesus, when Peter had boasted Of his power to stand. Verse (61)—Jesus never uttered a word of rebuke to Peter; but that sorrowful look from the eyes of Jesus cut Peter to the very heart: And then he remembered that Jesus had said that this very thing would happen, and for the first time the weight of his sin of denial began to bear down upon him. Verse (62)—His sorrow was not as the remorse of Judas, he repented in his sorrow and was forgiven. Conclusion Have we none of us done as Peter did? Denied our Lord by being ashamed of him; ashamed of our re ligion; held back from acknowledging him; kept silent when our religion was attacked or ridiculed, and our Master put on trial once again by the mocking skeptics, disbelievers, revil ers ? Do we not at times when in cer tain company or places ask, what use to confess discipleship, that is, speak, live as a Christian.? Disciples of Jesus of Nazareth!—do you never hear the cock crow in your lives ? —Herman Lilienthal. To Destroy $200,000 Bridge Within a short .time -the bridge across the Pee Dee river at Swift Island, 1,006 feet in length and built at a cost of _ $192,000, will be de stroyed. The reason for this destruc tive act lies in the fact that the new Carolina Power and Light Company’s dam below Swift island when com pleted will dam up a lake which will cover the present bridge to a depth of 16 feet. The company will build a new bridge some 1,200 feet above the present bridge to take the place of the one to be destroyed. Before the bridge is blown up, several engineers will subject it to many experimental tests for the sake of science and bridge engineering.

BrJFrank Crane Says faasnlKte 4>M Many Hearts Are Heading* Up-Stream When Bishop McIntyre stood on the Canadian bank of Niagara Fails he- said that everything in the uni verse seemed to be going down. Yet a closer scrutiny revealed the liLtle steamer “Maid of the Mist” going up. •Pessimists tell us that everything and everybody is going to the dogs. We have the authority of the real ists and the gloomy philosophers that things are getting worse and - worse. Yet somehow the world seems strug gling upward. It has made much improvement in the last eighteen hundred years or so and it is liable to make more in the next few years. The stream of traffic on Broadway is ceaseless, but occasionally a police man raises his hand and the traffic stops while he leads a little child or an old woman in safety from curb to curb. The newspapers are filled with ac counts of murders and all sorts of crimes until it seems that the country is afflicted with a crime wave, but every once in a while you hear of a kind deed done by somebody who is not at all afflicted with crime mo tives. . Doubtless there are many kimrdeeds not recorded all through the world. Many hearts are going up stream. It is pretty hapd on them at tijnes and the struggle is pretty severe, but taking all in all the company of those who are smuggling to make the world better is considerable and they have the cosmic laws in their favor. Whoever does what is right may be peculiar, but he belongs to a long line of beneftcient forebears. He may know that his labor is not wasted. For there are always a number of people who are going up stream just as there are many people who am lay ing down their oars and going1 with the streamr toward the deadly water falls of disaster.

Carr, Opiometiisl NO. FOURTEEN OF THE SERIES Astigmatism is very prevalent, dis tressing and detrimental error of vis ion. It is the result cf the eye being improperly shaped. It is responsible for more headaches than any other one cense. Every moment that the astigmatic eye is in use, £ither for close or distant seeing, it il-eubjected to strain. The only rest such an eye gets is while it is ekued. In many cases astigmatism,is pres ent without the knowledge of the pa tient. It often happens that a per son of strong physique and much re serve energy will be for many years unacquainted with the fact that he is ! astigmatic. (To be continued) WILFRED C.

No Necessity For War Nor Is There Reason For Sever ing Diplomatic Relations. The American people, remembering their own fight for liberty, ought not to be a party to breaking down the mora'e of the Mexican government ‘ which is trying to lead the peop'e of Mexico to freedom,” declared Repre sentative Wm. C. Hammer, in an ex tension of remarks just published in the Cor^ressional Record. , M •. Hammer presents the argu ments against severance of diplomatic ! ••eiatiohs with Mexico and lifting of the arms embargo. Both of the- ac tions, according to Mr. Hammer, would be “methods of force” which would be condemned by American cit izens who favor settlement of the present dispute by “peaceful methods and not by force.” “The fact is,” he declared, “that the methods which are now being pur sued by our State Department are im periling the best government which Mexico has ever known, according to the judgment of those Vvho know Mexico and have no property to pro tect and no axe to grind. “It has been considerably more than a month since the Robinson re o 'ution for arbitration with Mexico unanimously passed the Senate, and yet we have no intimation from the Schedule Greersb Dro-Faye! teville Eus I ine, Ire.

This resolution was introduced and passed in response to a popular demand. There has^never been such an out pouring of public opinion in this country on any question as on this insisting upon a settlement of our disputes with Mexico by peaceful methods and not by force. The peo ple do not want war with Mexico in •rder to protect the property of a few Americans, and there is no ne cessity for it. They have a right to 'enow whet’ er it is property of Amca cans living in Mexico or Americans iving in Wall Street in which such an anusual interest is taken.” Mr. Hammer declared that the United States should take no steps ; which would hinder President Ca'.les j in carrying out his reform progiam. “This program,” he said, “is not Bolshevistic. Bolshevism discards the machinery of the old regime and in ists upon starting all over again. Not o with Mexico. Mexico painfully builds with the old machinery of courts and laws and legislatures. Its lew constitution is old, with changes and amendments. Its procedure on the oil question and the land question and the church question is legally grounded. This program has definite objectives and proposes to reach them by orderly processes of law.” Mr. Hammer quoted Dr. Egbert Party Candies. Mints. Nuts Martha Washington Candy Shop ' Greensboro. N. C.

MODERN life throws a heavy burden on our bodily ma chinery. The eliminative organs, es pecially the kidneys, are apt to bo come sluggish. Retention of excess Uric acid and other poisonous waste often gives rise to a dull, languid feeling and, sometimes, toxic back aches and headaches. That the kid neys are not functioning perfectly is often shown by burning or scanty passage of secretions. More and more people are learning to assist their kidneys by the occasional use of Doan’s Pills—a stimulant diu retic.
