PETER'S GREAT CONFESSION. Sunday, Jan. 13.—Matt. 16:13-28; Luke 9:18-86; 1 Pet. 2;5, 6. Golden Text:. And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.—Matt, 16:16. People sometimes say that the Lord Jesus never asked anyone to believe any doctrine, or to believe anything special about Himself, but only to follow Hina. They quote His Word to Peter and Andrew by the Sea of Galilee, and "He saith unto thein "Follow Me' " (Matt. 4:19). In the outcry against doctrine, so Pop- ular today, such passages are urged as evdence that the Lord never want- ed any one to give any expression of doctrinal belief, but only to follow Him. Like the Sadducees, the Modernists of our Lord's day, such people "do err, not knowing the Scriptures" Matt. 22:29); They ignore the plain statements in the Gospels which show that our Lord did require personal belief as an .essential of discipleship. This lesson is a good antidote to that popular error. After the disciples had been "fol- lowing" the Lord for some time, and had listened to His teachings, He ask- ed then the crucial question: "Whom do . Hien say that I the Son of man am?" Not, What are My teachings? or What are My works? but, Who am I? The disciples told Him the various answers men were making to this question. Some said He was John the Baptist risen from the dead (John had been beheaded). Others, that He was Elijah, the great Old Testament prophet; or Jeremiah, another of the prophets. Then the Lord directed the ques- tion tothe disciples themselves "But whom 'say ye that I am?" It was a momentous question, and upon the answer hong eternal :issues. Simon' Peter, spokesman for the disciples; "answered ai:d said, Thou art the Christ, the Son' of theliving God." There was the first part, the foun- dation of 'the creed of the.Christiawi Church. There was the great doe - trine :Of the Church, the deity of Christ. "The Christ" , means "ate- nointed cute," and is the Greek for the Hebrew word Mcssi li Every ir ells - gent Israelite knew that, the Messiah who was prontised" to Israel thtough- out the ; "Old Testament Scriptures must be divine,' must have the unique deity that only God has, "The Son of the living God" must ,be God the Son, The "Son of oan" who is the Solt of God, muse have deity as no eroated mart has ever had it. Isaiah id LI MI was :one of the several Old Testament prophets who had predicted the com- ing of the Messiah or the Christ, de- claring that his name was to be call- ed Immanuel, which means "God with us" (Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1;23). The deity of this Messiah Son is declared in the prophecy that "His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace" (Isa. 9:6). Our Lord's heart must have rejoic- ed when Peter uttered his great con- { fession of faith. Peter had not arriv- ed at this conclusion by a process of human • reasoning; he had. not "thought it out for. himself." For the Lord at once said to him: "Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: far flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in hea- ven." When any rnan, woman or child comes to see and believefrom the heart that Jesus is the Christ, such faith is God-given. It is possible only by the working of the Holy Spirit in that one's life, The Lord said further to Peter: "Upon this rock. I will build my church; and the gates of hell (hades) shall not prevail against it." What did the Lord mean 'by "this rock?" Other Scriptures give us the answer, especially Peter's First Epistle, The rock was Christ Himself. "Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner -stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on Him, shall not be confounded." For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ". (1 Cor. 3:11). The time had not yet come, how- ever, for men in general or for the Jews, to know that Christ was the Mesial. Therefore "charged He His disciples that they should tell no man that He was Jesus the Christ." This fact was to be proclaimed publicly and fearlessly later on, asit was by the disciples on and after the coming of the Holy Spirit on the Dayof Pente- cost.P e Prematureblishin of the Pu ig fact would only have hindered the Lord's work, hence His warning in- junction. But to the few chosen disciples He told plainly, from that time, "how that He must go unto Jerusalem and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes ,and be kill- ed, and be raised again the third clay." And here was more doctrine for them to believe. The death of Christ, and the resurrection of Christ, follow from the deity of Christ. Another striking and convincing passage showing the supreme place that Christ Himself gave to personal belief is in the account of His heal- ing of a man born blind. The healed man was cast out of the synagogue` because of his testimony to Christ. Then the Lord sought ,him out, "and when He had found him, He said un- to Hint, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I might believe on Hite? And Jesus said 'unto him, Thou hast both seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee. And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped' Him" (John 9:35-38). It is impossible to be saved except by faith in the person and work of Christ. Many New Testament pas- sages make it plain: "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Hirn from the dead thou shalt be saved" (Rom. 10;9).

Prime Minister Bennett made a dir- ect appeal for the support of the great army of industrial workers and farmers Friday night, as he amplified in a second address to the nation his radical plans for reform of the econ- omic system. While declaring that he would cleave to all that is good in the present system, he announced his, determination to revamp with care and skill those features of it to which present unsatisfactory conditions may fairly be charged. He did not com- pletely unfold his program, but ;he forecast the enactment of legislation providingfor specific remedies, in- cluding the following: 1. ;Establishment' throughout Can- ada of a uniform wage and a uniform maximum work week. 2. Abolition of child labor and sweatshop conditions, 3. Creation of a permanent system of sound and scientific unemployment and abolition of the dole: 4. Present obsolete Old Age Pen- sions Act to be replaced by a new, scientific scheme of old -age pensions. 5. Health, accident and sickness in- surance to be 'developed. 6. Further taxation of non -produc- ers who derive their incomes from se- curities, mortgages, and other wages of money. 7. Legislative measures and mach- inery to provide adequate compensa- tion for farmers and other primary producers. 8. Lowering of farmers' overhead costs by scaling down of farmers' debts, and other means. 9. Protection against exploitation of producers by monopolistic purchas- ers and certain types of middlemen and distributors who"economic are " e onom c parasites." HIGHLIGHTS OF PREMIER'S SPEECH "As a lawyer I had to do, for more than 30 years, with big business aiicl finance. I have some knowledge of finance." "When in the past I praised it (the capitalist system), I did so with, knowledge. When now I analyze it and point to its defects, I do so also with knowledge. Bear that in mind." "All I can tell you is that we wilt go just as far as is necessary, to re- form the system and make it effect- ively work again. I cannot bring my- self to agree that there is anything radically wrong with the system which adjustment and reform will not remedy." "Clearly, it would be unwise to cir- cumscribe our activities by any at- tempted forecast of all that should be done, we can but move forward carefully.," "I think there is, from all worth- while points of view, an inequality 3n the distribution of income.". "I believe there should be a uniform minimum wage and a uniform max- imum working weede. There must be an end to child 'labor. There must be anend to sweatshop conditions." "However few or many unemploy- ed we normally may have, no matt must be left to the uncertaintities of private charity or to the humiliation of government gratuity." We are going to do away, as quick- ly as possible, with emergency relief measures andput in a permanent sys- tern of sound and scientific insurance against unemployment." "Tlie present Old Age Pensions Act is unscientific and obsolete and must give way to something which will serve you better. "Why do you say 'Now Miket' to your husband?"
