Time—Peter's first Epistle was Written about A;'D. 64 or 65 and his second Epistle perhaps in A.D. 68, just before Peter's,lnartyrdom, Oth ere give these dates two or three years earlier, r j [it -41'' r* Place—The first Epistle of; Pester was written probably: at Babylon and for the Christians of Asia Minor. Exemplary Citizens To abstain from fleshly lusts. .A sojourner, tarrying for a few days in a strange country, must not adopt the vices of that country or its habits of ease and'luxury. If he does, he will settle down there, and never get to hi journey's end, 'the, fair, rich. land he has set before him as his goal. Which was against the soul. The soul is the higher nature, which wages, an unceasing and uncompromising war- fare with the lower nature. Having your behaviour seemly am- ong the Gentiles. Peter's special mis- sion was not, like Paul's, to the Gen- tiles, but to the Jews or the Jewish proselytes who had become Christian or might be persuaded to adopt Christianity. That, wherein they speak against you as evil -doers. Peter re- members that the same charge, that of being an "evil -doer," was brought against his Lord. Later the most ab- ominable slanders were uttered again4st; the Christians, and their en- emies declared them guilty of most foul and disusting practices; but Pet- er's next sentence indicates that at this time the chief charge was that they wereseditious, stirring up revolt against constituted authority. This was the gist of the charge against Christ made by the Jews t to Pilate. They may by our good works, which 'They behold, glorify God. Peter must have been thinking of his Master's command which he heard him give, that his followers should let their light shine so that men might see their "good works" and "glorify" their Father in heaven. In the day of visitation. Here again Peter is quoting what he had doubtless often heard Jesus say. Law -Abiding Citizens Be subject to, every ordinance of man. If in those days, when the laws so often originated in tyranny, the Christians were urged to obey thein implicity, that Christ's good name might not be tarnished and that their enemies might have no hold upon them, how much more should the principle be obeyed in our free dom- inion, wl1ere the laws are made by the people's representatives, and where all government is so promptly responsive to the will of the people! For the Lord's sake. Not for your own sake, that men may ;:honour you as a model citizen, but for the hon- our of ,Christ, whom you represent. Whether to the king, al supreme. The reference is to Nero, Emperor of Rome, 'a monster in human form. Or unto governors. The `govern- ors' include the pro -consuls or pro - praetors of Roman provinces, and all .officials such as the town -clerk of Ephesus, the Asiarchs, _ and other. municipal authorities. ...As sent by him. That is, by the Emperor, stand- ing in his stead and representing his authority. For vengeance on evil- doers. Evil -doers are to be punished, for their own good as well as for the warning of others that are inclined to evil and for the protection of the righteous: And for praise to them that do well. Rewards as well as pen- alties come within the province of a wise government, For so is the will of God. 'It is God's way, as certainly it was Christ's way, not to snake a formal defence against hostile charges, but to let love ..ancl righteousness speak for themselves and refute ' all calum- nies, That by well -doing, ye should put to silence the ignorance of fool• ish men. The entries of the church were then and are still conspicuous for their ignorance and folly. Christians, since we are bound togeth- er more closely through our lovte. for Christ. Rcar God. Not with acring fug dread, but with wvorshipping 'awe, the profound reveretNe due to his in- finite holiness, his perfect wisdom, and his majestic and incomprehens ible power. Honour the ldug. Though the Emperor might be a Nero, Christ- ians were to honour his office and show respect to him as representing authority and orderly government. • Sober Citizens. Forasmuch then 'as Christ ,suffered iln .the fiea#h In the .third chapter of his Epistle, intervening betvreen' our two passages, Peter brings out the thought that though Christians are sure to meet persecution, their high- est blessedness will come through suffering for. Christ. ' Arin ye your slves also with the same mind. Pet- er recognized the fact that all Christ- ians area engaged in a tremendous conflict with the evil forces within their souls and `in the: outer world. This "mind of Christ":.is foremost 'al- so in 'Paul's teachings. For he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin. Peter of course does not mean that a man's sufferings, how- ever severe, serve to release him from sin, but that sufferings endured for Christ's sake, trials enduring in the mind of Christ, are -incompatible with sinful desires and wicked acts. That ye no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh to the, lusts of men. After the Christian has Deceived the mind of Christ and en- tered into the fellowship of . Christ"s. sufferings, whether he lives for many years or speedily endures a martyr's triumphant death, he is joyfully freed from the dominion of fleshly lusts. But to the will of God. Not self-will but God's will has become the Christ- ian's goal, the supreme object of the Christian's life. For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gen- tiles. "The desire of the Gentiles" was the licentiousness which formed the chief object of their abominable heathen rites, their drunken orgies, their idolatrous feasts. "You have given yourselves to such things long enough," says Peter ironically; for even a day or an hour of such foul- ness is far too much. And to have walked in • lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revelling, carousings, and abominable idolatries Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them into the same excesses of riot, speaking evil of you. "Excess" is in the Greek a pictur- esque word, used only here in the New Testament, signifying a cistern or cesspool filled with rushing floods coming together from many direc- tions, a veritable "sink of iniquity." Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead. The Christian's_ enemies call him to account, quite forgetting the terrible day when they theniselves;.i shall be called to account for the deeds done in the flesh, and among other deeds for the ridiculing and re- viling of God's servants . Peter had heard his . faster many times pictur- ing the judgment, when all men, ranged before him, shall be compelled to give account of their stewardship. As free, and riot using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness. Peter grants that the allegiance of Christ- ians to Christ frees them from alleg- iance to all earthly kings: Christ is our I(ing; but nevertheless we ane to render to Caesii,r the things that are Caesar's, our libertyis not to become license,,,and we are to be submissive. to rul,ers'for the common welfare and for the reputation of the church and to seta good example to all men. But as bondservants of God. Honour all Men. But ,what if risen are not honourable Still every man, however wicked or degraded, bears about the image of God, though sad- ly defaced, and, that image is to be honoured in him, Love the brother- hood. Honour.. for all... outside the church, but warm affection for all BOISSEITAIN RIONERS OLD ANNUAL REUNION;; Men Who Settled in Manitoba Over Thirty ''ears Ago Meet to Ex, change Reminiscences The old-timers of Boissevain and district staged their first annual soe-. a1 gathering recently, Thirty years' refsidenee in Manitoba was the quali- fication, and some present had been in the district since 1879 and their tales of incidents of humour and pa - gees were eagerly taken in by the rest. C. C, Musgrove, the vice-president of the association, was chairman. Frank Foy:, in his remarks took the audience back to the times when the Indians roved over the prairies, He also recalled, the first' fair in 1883, drawing attention to the fact that his father took first prize for oxen, and later on William Wilson substantiated the 'claim by saying he had never be- fore or since seen oxen to equal them. R. G. Willis, M.L.A., also addressed the gathering and among other things established his position as owner of the second buggy in. Boissevain, buy- ing it in 1891 from the McLaughlin Carraige company: His reminiscences of a cer'tain trip to Brandon' in the famous buggy created much laughter. Reeve John Peacock, Frank Har- mon, William Hopwood and others al- so spoke and told anecdotes of the old days. Songs popular in the early days were revived and joined in with gusto by everybody. Athong those contrib- uting vocal solos were such old-tim- ers as James Patterson, Ed. Sankey, Leonard Taylor, John Oke, Fred Brook and Fred McKinney. Old- time tunes on the violin were given by Mrs. Howell, • Ham Wyman and W. A. McLean, while Mrs. Joseph Bowes and Mrs. E. Glover gave read- ings. Mrs. Jack Patterson gave a pi- ano solo and Mrs. Ashley officiated at the piano during the evening. At the close of the programme re- freshments were served, and it was then that the old-timers grouped and laughed and talked about the hard- ships of the old days. Following re- freshments the floor was cleared for the dance and to the tunes once so familiar old age was forgotten, youth returned and for a good two hours the old dances reigned once more. Mr. James Patterson is a brother- in-law of J. H. Linklater of Turn - berry. FISHING ON SUNDAY T. NETTERFIELD DROPS DEAD NEAR ST. MALO (Sherbrooke, Quebec, Record, June 3) Thomas Netterfield, King street. west, road master of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, dropped dead from acute indigestion yesterday morning at about eleven o'clock while inspecting the Hereford Railway line near St. Malo d'Aukland, a little vil- lage near Cookshine. It appears that Mr. Netterfield, ac- companied by other employees of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, was making an inspection of the road- bed of the Hereford 'Railway, which the C.P.R. is to take over in the near future. While working he suddenly dropped to the ground. His compan- ions carried hila to a nearby house and Dr. Davignon, of Cookshire, was called, only to find on his arrival that Mr. Netterfield had passed away, Dr, J, A. Boucher, coroner of the district, was notified of the facts and. the case was disposed of without an inquest, Interment took place in Sherbrooke • on 4th June, under Masonic auspices, He is survived by his widow, two sons, and by his aged mother, who lives iu Lower Wingham; ' a sister, Mrs, :Frank'Seli of town, and a broth- ter, James, in Toronto: Mr. and Mrs. J.J. Brooks announce the engagement of their only daugh- ter, Mary Jeanette, to Mr. William W. Chapman, eb3est son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Chapman, of Walkerville, the mar- riage to take place the latter part of June. Mr. C. Pugh,. of Hamilton, spent the week -end with his parents on Patrick street. The Durham Review of last week tells of a trio of Guelph gentlemen who on a recent Sunday caught "a large mess, of fine Saugeen trout" over in Glenelg township, Grey Coun ty, and later were asked by the game warden to appear in court for having in their possession fish under seven inches in length, this being contrary to the game law. The fish taken by the Guelph men, 78 in all, were confiscated, together with their fishing tackle. The fish were given to the Durham hospital and the poles and lines sent to the Department at Toronto. One of the men returned ftom Guelph to appear in court and pay the fines levied by Magistrate Laidlaw. On the whole the afternoon's fishing proved an ex- pensive affair.
