THE PUNIER COWER "LOVEST THOU MET" I was reading last Sunday sow very helpful thoughts on these wordi May I share them with my readers Three times the words fell on th( disciples' ears, "Lovest thou me?' Three times Simon answered, shrink ing each time from giving a. direct and simple yea. As Christ's search ing eye looked on Peter's face, int< his very soul, Peter remembered how unworthy, how unfaithful, he had been. Could he say lightly, now as he had said before, that h? loved Jesus so well that ho would die for Him? Strong as his affection really was for Jesus, the memory oi '.he shameful failure on that night in the high priest's palace made it im possible for him to point to his past evidence of his 'ove. "Jesus knew about the denials had heard them as He stood there amid His enemies. It was hard in the face of this for Peter to answef boldly and confidently that he loved Jesus?His action had not proved it. There was another element in the embarrassment. Peter's fellow dis ciples knew how he had failed. With their ears hearing the Master's ques tion, it was very hard for Peter to answer calmly and boldly, "Yes, I love Thee and would die for Thee." ""hat then did he answer? He knew in his own heart that he did love Jesus deeply, shame'ful as his treat ment of Him had been. He dared not make any further avowai of his love, remembering his unfaithfulness the night of his Lord's betrayal. There was no use trying to explain away what he h-d done, pleading weakness or surprise. What could he say? His position was most painful. But he found a refuge? Jesus understood it all. So he looked up into that eye which was searching the depths of his soul and said, "Lord, Thou knoweet all things, Thou knowest that I love Thee.' "There is not one of us who does not need many times in his life to find this same refuge. We are all much like Peter. We have given ourselves to Christ. We are striving to follow Him. We mean to be true to him. We are sincere when we stand up before men, and avow our friendship for Him. We mean to keep our promises, but life is hard and we are very weak. At the best we get only little fragments of the beauty of Christ in our character. We intend to be gentle and loving, but we mar our days oftimes with unhappy tempers, querulous bicker ings, unseemly complaints and self ish strivings." We intend to be strong in faith, allowing nothing to make us doubt or fear, but our trust fails us many times, and we grow fearful in life's storms and dangers. We bow our heads to take the Master's benediction, "Peace be un to you," and we mean to live with out worry, in quietness and' confi dence, but again and again the peace is broken, anxiety creeps into our hearts and disturbs the calm. Life's cares fret us. We grow discontent ed. We mean to be consistent Chris tians. We intend to be heroic in the face of enmities and opposition. We Bay we will never deny Christ. Wc 3 set out in the morning, brave and t confident, but how often does the . evening find as defeated, lying in th? , dust, wounded, broken, covered with ? shame I" "Then Jeans comes to us . with His searching question, Lovest t thou me? What shall we answer . Him? In our own heart we know > that we do love Him. There is no disloyalty there. We are honest m J our purpose to be true to Him. Yet we can only hang our head in shame | as we think how we failed. Hew can , wo look up into His blesied face and j declare that we love Him with the 1 memory of all our faults and falls fresh in our mind? We might say we are sorry and will not repeat these sins, but we have been saying I that over and over for years. And tthen almost immediately repeating the things we so deplored, and prom ised never to repeat." ? "What shall we do. There stands the Master, patient, unwearied in His loving, looking calmly unto our [face and asking, iTLovest thou me?" I Dare w? say, "Yea, Lord." If He were but a man like ourselves we 1 could not, for our many failures ' | ivould seem to disprove our word, and ? He could not find love in our heart under all the inconsistency. But be ung Christ, He knows all the truth : about us, the worst that is in us, and | the best. He knows that we are sin jcere, though so unworthy. He sees I the love amid the weakness, the broken vows and poor failures. I Therefore we can look up out of our | humiliation and say, "Yea, Lord, iThou knowest that I love Thee." A PRAYER | Dear Friend of Friends, my Christ | and my Elder Brother, out of Thine ; own blessed obedience, pour grace into my life that I may learn of Thee how to love and how to obey. ? Let the pain of Thy love for the sons ; of men set me an inspiring example, j that I may live only to meet other's . needs, and to cheer their lives, i Above all, teach me the secret of | all obedience, namely that love which , i is born of Thine own Divine nature, j j that I may serve not a3 a necessity j ibut as a privilege. Give me more! ;love for Thee, more love for men, more love of truth and goodness and ? all pure things. And lift me up to ! Thy presence, so that I may serve , i Thee at last without weariness, for I Thine own dear sake. My King and i my Friend, teach me that I may be I 'really a Christian. Let me never be so foolish as to rely upon Thee. Give me Thy wisdom, and the will to de vote myself to Thee. Give me Thy i wisdom and the will to devote myself I to Thee and Thy dear world. Let i me give all I have to the struggle, | and look to Thee for the power which can never fail to bring what Thy I children fervently ask for, or to do what. Thy children honestly seek to j have done in Thy cause. So shall 1 1 lind glory of my religion and mani- 1 fest its glory to others, but Thine i alone shall be the praise, Ai.ien and 'Amen.

VERNER SPEAKS AT 1 METHODIST CHURCH Those who are studying the book on missions every Sunday afternoon at the Methodist church had a rare treat when they began the chapter on "The Redemption of the Congo." Superintendent S. P. Verner, who haa spent years in the Congo, taught the claw, going into some of the deeper phases of the work of mission aries in bringing Christianity to the dark continent. Touching on the great international results from seemingly small beginnings, Prof. Verner aroused such interest that the class prolonged the session to ask questions and hear discussions rela tire to the social, industrial, educa tional and religious future of a country so full of possibilities as is Africa.
