GOLDEN TEXT --"If any man would 'come after me, let him deny himself, .and take lip his cross, -and follow' me," -Mark 6.34, The Lesson In' Its Setting ±ime.-Summer, A. D. 29, . in . the third year, of Christ's ministry. P'lace--Near Caesarea Philippi. ' Peter Confessing t "And Jesus went forth, and his dis- ciples." The last place mentioned is Bethsaida-Julias (Mark• $:22), where Christ healed a blind man. From that city the: little company of thir- teen travhll.ed northward twenty-five or thirty miles along the eastern bank r of. the Jordan, passing 'Lake:-IVlerom. "Into ,the villages of Ca;sarea Philip- ni" �, This place was at the northern boundary of ancient Isreal, near Dan. `"And on the way he asked his/discip- les, saying' 'unto ' them, Who do men say that I am?" The region thropgh which Christ passed was, in the Main, a country of profound and impressive solitudes. Jesus'went there' partly for rest and 'quiet and partly in'order that; in preparation for the, . solemn •vents before Him, He might con- verse seriously and at length with His disciples and instruct them regarding the climax of His earthly career. "And they'told him, saying, •' John the' Baptist." Herod Antipas, who had slain John the Baptist, when he heard 1, of Christ's wonderful works and martial vellous teachings -was pricked' in his guilty conscience and . ` thought that the murdered prophet had returned to life. The rumor spread among the; common people, based on John's' re- peated prophecies of the coming'Mes- siah whose herald he was. "And oth1, ers, Elijah." Mal. 4:8 had prophesied, of an Elijah who would come to earth just before the Messiah; the Baptist had declared (John x:21) that he was not Elijah, and therefore, the people thought, perhaps Jesus was the great prophet returned from the grave. "But others, One of the prophets," Some of the people thought that Christ was Jeremiah (Matt. 16:x4) whom the Jews of that time considered to be the chief of the prophets, greater ev- en than Isaiah.

His full an- swer, given by. Matthewl.Iwas "Thou are the Christ, the Son df the living God." Mark also omits the praise that Christ gave to Peter for his bold confession, and His promise that on s leli insight and courage as he had shown should be built, as' on .a :solid' foundation, the glorious structure of Christ's eternal church. Peter was dictating this gospel to Mark, and the aged, disciple /was too modest to re- cord such things. Peter stands, out through, all the ages as the typical Christian confessor•= -•prompt, courag- eous, complete. He knew that Jesus. was his Saviour, his heart was full: of gratitude to Him, and his thanksgiv- ing took the inevitable form of Chris- tian testimony. "Peter's answer, "Thou are the Christ," should be printed in larger' type on the 'page of the Gospel," - "And he charged them that they should tell no Man of him" The people as the reports of the disciples had just shown, were not ready to ac- claim Jesus as the Messiah, nor were the disciples sufficiently strong in the faith; to teach them that great .truth, After Christ's death and resurrectibn His Messiahship had many` witnesses and advocates: Until then, to pro' - claim it would only hasten His death. Peter; Rebuked "And he began to teach them, that ;the Son of man must suffer many ;things;" How came Jesus to be so certain of His •coming sorrows and agonies?

"And be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes." These were the three classes from which representatives were chosen to. make up the Sanhedrin, the ruling body among the Jews, There were severity members, not counting the high priests, who presided,. The eld- ers were heads of the families or clans, the chief priests were heads of the "courses" of priests who served its turn in the temple, together with all who had served as high priests; the scribes were recorders and teachers of the Jewish law.

Heretofore H had been trying to pre- pare the disciples' minds for the aw- ful truth by giving them hints of it from time to time; now He discussed it fully' and freely, for . the time of His departure was drawing near. "And Peter took him,. and began to rebuke him." Petdr took ,Christ aside, as if hesitating 'to.rebuke his Lord before the others. And yet what colossal effrontery and conceit to rebuke One whom Peter hada minute before de- clared to be the Christ of God! "But He turning about, and, seeing'.. his disciples, rebuked''; Peter." Our Lord saw that the other disciples were listening, and he could not let Peter's words pass without notice, for to do so would mislead all the,Twelve. "And saith, Get thee behind me, Sat- an. Thus Christ had spoken to the devil when he tempted Him in the wilderness, Matt, 4:xo. Peter, indeed, was using ,the devil's argument, and was seeking to get Christ to adopt the easy ways of worldly compliance. rather $han the heroic and fearfully difficult ways of divine truth, of oth- er wordliness. "For thou mindest not the things of} God, but the things of men." Peter'smind was still world- ly. It was still bent upon popularity. with men more than on doing the will of God. And as the mind goes, so. goes the. life. Cross -Bearing "And he called unto him the multi- tude with his disciples." They had, gone to that lonely spot for rest and for quiet talks; but "He. couldnot be hid," and evidently the people had found Him out and gathered around Him,' though considerately keeping at some distance from the little group. "And said unto them, if any man would come after me." That: is, is determined to become one of My fol- lowers. The multitude showed a deep interest in Him, or they would not thus have sought Him out in that sol- itary place. "Let him deny himself." Not cease to think about himself, his progress in all right ways, his pro- per pleasures and his natural inter- ests. "And take up his cross,', "Dai- ly," Luke adds, "The meaning of tak- ing up the cross is, to be ready for suffering. One who was to endure the dreadful ,pains of crucifixion 'was compelled to receive the instrument of his punishment, and to carry it, or a part of it, upon his shoulders, from. the place of judgment or imprison- ment to the place of execution. "And follow me." . 'And thus follow me," for "Christ pleased not Himself," and Christ trod the way of the cross. "For whosoevez would save his life shall lose it." It is recorded that Christ uttered this saying four times. A truth. which He taught with so much emphasis must nos be neglect- ed by His followers. "And whosoev- er shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's shall save it." Here a- gain. "life" is used in the same two senses. "For what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life " "The whole world" is the same as the lower life; it is transient; un- satisfying, empty. If to gain that bubble one gives up the higher life, the only permanent thing he has, the source of the only abiding jay, what gain has one made? rather what un- utterable loss. "For what should a than give in ex- change for his life? His higher life, 'his eternal life, his only real life.
