And Jesus went forth, and his dis- ciples. They went from Bethsaida, where Christ had opened the eyes of the blind man. Into the. village of Caesarea, Philippi,; This town was in the extreme north of Palestine, near the ancient Dan. And on the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, What do men say that i am. The cross of the world's .redemption rose clearly before him, as it doubt- less had through all his ministry. He roust begin to make its meaning' plain to his disciples, or they could . not make it plain to the world. And they hold him, saying, John the Baptist. Herod Antipas, the cruel tyrant who had murdered John, was one of those 'who saw in the great work of Christ, vaguely reported to him, a resurrection of our Lord's glorious herald. His guilty conscien- ce was moved by all the news of mir- aculous events that reached his pal- ace. And others, ,Elijah. Elijah had not died, but had been translated to' heaven in a whilrwind of fire. It was natural that some should think that he had returned in the person of Christ to inaugurate the reign of righteousness for which he had striv- en so mightily centuries before. But others, One of the prophets. The. answer of the disciples, while it does not tell us that any held Jesus to be the Messiah himself, yet shows clear- ly the tremendous impression which his ministry had made upon the Jews. They could compare him to none but the very greatest men in their coun- try's history. And he asked them, But who say ye that I ani? Becoming a Christian is for each man a personal experien- ce, and the most important question any one has to answer is this "Who say ye that Jesus is?" Not "Who does Paul say he is? or Peter or John or Luther or Wesley or Moody? but "what is your individual and per- sonal and final conclusion about Je- sus Christ?" Peter answereth. Peter was the leader of the Twelve, the man of quick action and prompt de- cision. And said unto hind, Thou art the Christ. Peter's confession involv- ed a realization of one personality embodying two . natures; the Son of Man the Son of God. And he charged them that they should tell no pian of him. They should not proclaim his Messiahship, his deity, THE GLORY OF THE CROSS, And he began to teach them. It was a time for instruction. That the Son of loan must suffer many things. The disciples still held to their hope of a material, earthly kingdom for the Messiah, and of crowns and thrones for themselves. And be re- jected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes. That is, by the religious leaders of his people. And be killed. Those dread words struck down all the disciples' hopes. And after three days rise again. With these words Christ's prophesy leaps out into the light. The resurrection transformed his death into an exalta- tion, confirmed his deity, and estab- lished ,his kingdom. And he spake' the saying openly. That is, in plain terms, and not in parables or indirectly, and in pres- ence of all, And Petertook him. Peter was horrified at the very sug- gestion that the Son of God should be put to death. And began to re- buke him. It seems strange indeed one whom he had just confessed to be divine, brit the apostle's life is full of just such contradictions; and in- deed do riot we also, in our frequent complaints of the lot assigned us by Providence, virtually rebuke the Al- mighty and All -wise? But he turning about, and seeing liis disciples. Christ might not have rebuked Peter's excess of zeal and astounding boldness if it had beer just between the two, for: it sprang from the apostle's' love.;. but he per- ceived that. the other apostles knew of it and so, ns he had praised Pet- er so highly before them,. he must also condemn him before them:. Re - bilked. Pett*r, anni r;aitl.i, Get thee be- hind rue, Satan, Peter had made pre- cisely the sane appeal to Christ which the devil had tirade in the wild- erness '.. temptation, an appeal to the heavenly Ways of self-sacrifice and ignomity. Por thou rniltdest not the things of Cod, but the things of reel Reproach bas this one good, tiring about it, it does not .distract' or semi - es and make its lose head, And he called unto hint the multi-' tude with hk disciples,' Our Lord was in a lonely region, but even there lee. was followed by a crowd, who etood at a distance. Peter's remonstrance scd glia r up to preach a sermon to them '- and to his apostles, as well, and awt':', the 'least. to Peter. A ;d said (into, there, 11 .any roan would mine after me. 'Wound be my true fc,llowcr, walking in my steps,, Let hiin deny himself. Nu one who -tries consistent- ly to be in any sense a follower of Christ but finds that in some forth ur other self-denial is 'a necessity of self-discipline, And take up his cross and Follow ane. A cross, as has been well said, is whatever runs across our selfish will, our worldly ambition. it ceases to be a cross when our v ill is laid parallel to the will of the Re- deemer. As we carry our crosses for him and with him, they cease in time to be crosses and become wings that lift us to heaven. i For whosoever would save his life shall lose it. ' The selfish hoarding of money,. the selfish use of time and strength, will prove no gain in the eternalages, but will be discovered to result in awful, an irreparable, an 'endless loss. This is one of the stern est warnings in the Bible, a warning that should be especially heeded by our self-seeking age. And whosoever shall lose his lifefor my sake and the Gospel's shall save it. Love is the only sound savings -bank. Sacri- fice is the only safe investment. For what doth it profit a roan, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? When Sir Walter Scott had reachedthe same ,trying hour he drew Lockhart down to. him and kiss- ed him, and said, tearfully, "Be good, my dear, be good. Nothing else counts when. you come to lie here.'. Sir Walter Scott had known .much of gaining the world and of losing it, and had learned the great lesson that all other gain and loss is insignificant ' to the gain of the soul. I For what should a man give in ex - i change for his life? There is only :one person in the world whom God will hold finally accountable for any given soul, and that one is the man Ito whom that soul belongs. 1 For whosoever shall be ashamed of, me and .of my words in this adulter-,' ous and sinful generation. Christ has; been speaking of the shame of the, cross which his disciples' must share, with him, thus entering into the. glory of the cross, Tlie son of man shall be ashamed of him, when he. cometh in the glory of his Fathers with the holy angels. The shame e' the cross is only for a time, the glory of the cross is for eternity. New Low Prices Clark's Pork & Beans, can ,.7e Northern Brand Canned Corn per can 9c L. of M.
