received of Jesus, and preached under
the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. "Any

mand of Jesus, nor with the practice
and principles of thio apostles, and is

Oommentary.- 1. Jesus Christ is Shown
to be the Messiah. (vs. 22;36). Peter
shows that Jesus had proved Himself to
be the Messiah by L•Iis miracles. His
elitinis were also established in the ful-
filment of prophecy. 32. Had God raised
up --The crowning proof of the ldessiah-
shxp, of Jesus was His resurrection from
the dead in harmony with the prophecy
of David (v. 31). Are witnesses—Jesus
had appeared to Peter and the apostles
at various times during the forty days
between His resurrection and ascension.
33. Exulted—The apostles were also wit-
neises of His ascension. Having receiv-
ed, etc. -Jesus had told them that the
Father would send the Holy Spirt (John
14; 16, 26; Acts 1, 4), and in harmony
wih that promise Ile had "poured forth"
(R. V). what 'they were then seeing and
hearing. -34. David ascended not (R. V.)
He descended into the grave and
`slept with his fathers, so 'that what he
says here could not apply to himself,
but must apply to the dessiah." He
saith himself—David said this in Psalm
110, 1, The Lord—Jehovah, Said unto
my Lord—The Messiah --the one who,
even now, a thousand years before His
birth, by prophetic insight I see is to be
"my Lord." In Matt. 22, 43 and Mark
12, 36 Jesus recognizes David es the au •
thor of this Psalm and the Jews admit
that David has reference to the Messiah,
Sit thou on my right hand—That is, be
a sharer of my throne and power. Je-
hovah staid this to David's "Lord"—rho
Messiah, who is none other than this
Teems whom you have crucified.
35. Thy foes Thy footataoi—This is an
expression which shows that Christ is to
have complete victory. His foot is to be
on the neck of His foes. And "His power
shall not end then, for when His foes
are all subdued His kingdom shall con-
tinue and be more glorious." 36. 'There-
fore—This is Peter's conclusion. Ile
had proved his point and now forces
the truth home with irresistible power.

by every penitent sinner (see Acts 9, 6;
16, 30). They had a sense of guilt and
iLnnger and a readiness to yield to the
claims of God. `Every door of hope
seemed shut in their faces; but a great
deal is done when men begin to inquire
the way."
38. Peter said—Peter does not net as
eupemior to the • other apostles, but as
epokeaman for all of them. Repent—
Evangelical repentance is, first, contra
tion; second, reformation. The truly
repentant one is heartily eorry for all
his sins, so sorry that he turns away
from sin forever,• and if possible would
undo all ho has sinfully done. Oonfes-
siroes are made, wrongs are righted., and
the soul, loathing itself, cries to God. for
mercy. Be baptized—By this they said
publicly that they embraced. Jesus Christ
ars their Saviour. It was a confession
of their faith. For the remission of
snits"—In order to the forgiveness of sins.
This clause states the motive or object

in baptism that can wash away sin.
This cant be done only through the power
of Christ, Gift of the holy Spirit (R.
V.)— Following pardon of sin, they
should enier into the fulness of th °love
of Christ, having the abiding presence of
the Comfortee. He would teasels, guide,
purify rind: give peace, hope and joy
(John 13: 16). "'There is no evidence
that they were all endowed with the
power of working m rae1e , nor does the
commotion of the passage require us
thus to uneclerstand it." This is the
privilege of every believer.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
1. Conviction. "When they heard this,
they were prieked in their hearts. v.
37). .Che first fulfillment of Jesus'
words, "lie will convince the world of
sin" (John le, 8, marg.). Conviction al-
ways precedes conversion, but the char-
acter of the conviction will correspond
with the character of the divide ni. to `The
sermou that the Spirit will
vict men will be:
1. Scriptural. F. E. Marsh says: "Peter
used 531 words in his sermon. and 218
are quotas"tions from Joel 2. 28. 32; Pen.
16, 8, 11; 110, 1. The words used hi re-
ference to scripture are ninety-one,
and
the remaining words have n
the
aroma of scripture. as scent perfumes
what it touches" ''ilre Spirit manifesto
His presence where Oft word of God k
honored.
2. Specific. "Men of Israel - ye ye know"
(v. 22); "Ye have taken" (v. 2a); "Ye
have crucified" (v. 36). He sloes not
make it easy for these Jerusalem sin-
ners,
II. Conversion. Conviction leads to
the practical question, "What shall we
do?" (v. 37; Aces 9, 6; 16, 30). Peter's
answer to "every one" (v. 38), is the
way of salvation for all ages to every
sinner.
1. Repentance. Peter said: 'Repent,
turn, change your attitude toward deems.
You hated Him and crucified llirn t now
acknowledge your sin, believe in Jilin as
the Messiah, be baptized yin His name,
confess Thin as your• Lorde
2. Remission of sins (v. 38.) Repent-
ance can not put away sin, and gives no
basis for reconciliation. Remission
means "a sending away." The two goats,
one slain and one bearing the sin of the
people to a land of forgetfulness, type
of remission by the blood (Lev. 16; 21,
22.) When God remits our sins he. (1)
removes them beyond his reach (Psa.
103; 12); (2) casts them behind his
back (Ise. 38; 17); (3) corers them, with
Inc love (Pea. 85; 2; 1 Pet. 4; 8); (4)
pouts them away from his memory
(II•eb. 8; 12); (5) blots them out (Ise.
44; 22); (6) buries them iu oblivion;
(7) forgives then ("Sets 5; 51), fully
(Peau. 103; 3), freely (Rom. 3; 24); for-
ever (Rom. 11; 20).

REVOLUTION HAS FAILED.
MINISTERS'
FARES.
C.P.R. Inclined to Withdraw Half-,
Rate Tickets in Farts of West.
Winnipeg, Jan. 11. ---The eourtcsy of a
half -fare rate ex:tenled to western clergy
clergymen by the railroads is likely to
be withdrawn, or, in any event, greatly
curtailed. It was first inaugurated by
the C. P. R. with a view to assisting
struggling missionaries and in the de-
velopment of the country, and was nev-
er intended to be a permanency. Lass:
year 5,000 permits+ were issued by the
railroads of tbe west, but all have been
careened this year and the future po-
licy rega.rdirg them is now being con-
sidered.
The C. P. R. does not wish to work
hardship on poorly -paid missionaries
and pastors of struggling rural congre-
gations, but is disposed to insist ore
highly -paid ministers paying their way
the same as others. Tho report is that
the half -fare may still be extended to
sections of Saskatchewan and Alberta,
hut not to Manitoba.
