The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1935-03-28, Page 3THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE REVIEW: LESSONS FROM THE LIFE AND LETTERS OF PETER Sunday, March 31—-1 Peter 5:6-11; 2 Peter 3:114-18. Golden Text Grow in grace ana in the know­ ledge of our Lord and Saviour, Je­ sus Christ, (2 Peter 3; 18a), From our three months studies of one of the great characters of his­ tory we have seen the following 12' outstanding experiences of the apos­ tle Peter: 1. Peters turns to 'Christ and ac­ cepts His call to lifetime service. 2. Peter confesses Christ as the Son of God and the Messiah. 3. Peter learns a startling lesson in humility and his need of cleans­ ing. efforts and determination and will power? No sinning fallen believer has ever been restored that way, nor ever could be, The Lord had forewarned peter in the words: “Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat,” Satan was sifting Peter in a fearful way, But with that very warning the Lord told Peter what his protection and restoration would be: prayed for thee, that not,” It was not Peter’s power, or strong character, or un­ daunted optimism, <ur anything of that sort that brought him back af­ ter this awful failure, prayers of hie Gaviour and Lord— the only way any Christian is ever restored after falling into sin. ‘if any man sin, we have an cate, with the Father Jesug i the righteous” (I John 2;1.) With His warning, and His ise of restoring prayer, the spoke another word to Peter: ■===■==■=........................=£===== Elimville W. M. S. “But I have thy faith fail recuperative It was the .

Peter discovers the restoring power of the undefeatable love of his 'Lord. 6. Peter preaches Christ crucified and risen, the Saviour of men, and reaps a great harvest of souls. 7. Peter shows why good Chris­ tians are good citizens’. - 8. Peter, in Christ’s omnipotence works a miracle of healing in a man born lame. 9. Peter works a miracle-of swift capital punishment in judgment of sin. 10. Peter preaches Christ as Sav­ iour to Gentiles as well as Jews. 11. God works a miracle of de­ liverance from prison for Peter. 12. Peter describes some of the ‘impossible” miracles or every-day Christian living. How was Peter turned to Christ to receive His call to- serve Him? His own brother, Andrew, brought the Good News that they had found the Messiah. Christians have a Scriptural right to pray, with assur­ ance, for the salvation of every member of their family. When people say ignorantly, as they often do, that Christ never ask­ ed men to believe any special doc­ trine, but only to ibe sincere in fol­ lowing Him, let us remember the doctrinal examination and test to which he put His disciple. Search- ingly, directly, He asked them what their belief was concerning his own person. Patiently He had been training (them for two years in pre­ paration for this. They met the test as Peter answered for them all: “Thou art the Christ, the .Son of the living God.” 'The Borers- heart re­ joiced in this answer, and He pro­ nounced blessing upon Peter for it. Moreover, Christ made it very plain that this was no discovery of Peter’s nor the result of mere human reason “for flesh and blood hath not reveal­ ed it unto thee, b.ut My Father which is in heaven.” But one of the hardest lessons Peter ever had to learn was that of humility. It takes true greatness to be truly humble—and for a long while, Peter was awyzning hut truly great. He was self-confident, ego­ tistical, boastful; but his Lord was unfailingly, patient with him as He is with all of us. He taught Peter and the other disciples what true humility is when He actually knelt at their feet, as a servant, and per­ formed the menial task of washing their feet and wiping them with the towel with which He had, as a ser­ vant, girded Himself. It was also a lesson in their need of the cleans­ ing which He alone could give them by shedding the cross, as The crash ience when, confident, and ignoring his His blood for them on He did the next day. came in Peter’s experi- still boastful and self- _______, _2 __La Lord’s solemn warning, he broke down ut- terl before the taunts, of the servants of the high priest’s household denied that he Christ.

He began his professional career with his native, Ottawa team in 1924-25, coming to Toronto for the 1930-31 sea­ son. Thus he is serving his eleventh year in the Big League of Hockey, and in that time has played on three world champion­ ship aggrega­ tions, and let’s hope he is on his fourth right how. At that, despite his long juranic viancy service, the King is only 32 and still going strong. He also has the distinction with his 150-odd pounds of being perhaps the lightest defenceman the major league ever knew. And now the secret of thd King’s verdant youth is out. Always care­ ful in his mode of living and a man of exemplary habits, it will be nbted that he long ago realized that an athlete, like Napoleon’s army of a century ago and mote, fights on its stomach. And so it is that Frank Clancy is a living, driving, speeding atom of energy because he has long been a devotee of.

Christ’s resur­ rection from the dead, and His res­ urrection message to Peter, brought the ibroken-hearted disciple Then Peter became a leader of apostles in very truth, and his mon on the day of Pentecost used of God for the salvation “about three thousand souls” of Jews. It is interesting to note that ter worked a great miracle of healing in the name of Christ for.a man in great need; and God worked a mir­ acle of deliverance for Peter when he was in need. Peter, in the name of Christ, enabled a lame man to “walk in newness of life” both .phy­ sically and spiritually. And when Peter was in danger of his life, and imprisoned in a Roman dungeon, God sent an angel to open the prison doors and set him free. And Peter opened the prison of those who were trepasses and sins,” both back, the ser- was of the Pe- spiritual “dead” in Jews Gentiles, so that they were set into resurrection life. and free The W.

Sotheringham’s garage at Rannoch was sentenced to five years in Portsmouth Penitent­ iary, Kingston, by magistrate Ma­ kins at Stratford on Wednesday of last week. In evidence submitted by Cam. Fotheringham and Douglas ■Spearin it was shown that Bieber had a skelton key whioh fitted the lock on the Fotheringnam Garage and that the former had entered the premises during the night of Febru­ ary 19th and had taken a .pair of pliers, a screwdriver and other tools all of which had been recovered by the police from Biener’s car.

Bieber when he heard the sentence is said to have cried aloud in the court. He is the man who on more than one occasion is said to have stolen wheat from the Rannoch elevator and to have sold it back to the manager or to other grain firms. — (St. Marys Journal-Argus) Fire is Quelled After Three Hours of Stubborn Fighting — Considerable Damage Done.
