I do not know the man—I not only am not a disciple of the Galilean, but I do not know him, Such was Peter's bold and wicked at- tempt to silence his accusers., It is diffi- cult to understand the depth to which he had fallen when he would declare up- on oath such a falsehood as that. It is exceedingly dangerous, to depart from the path of rectitude. Jesus had said, "Whosoever will save his life shall lose it," but Peter was very fax from follow- ing the teachings of his Master. 73. After a while. It was about an hour after (Luke 22:59). They that stood by. The main charge was prom- inently made by one, a kinsman of Malchus, who had seen Peter in the gar- den, and was known to John from his acquaintance with the ,high priest's household (John 18:26).—Fatrrar• Thou also art one of them. If Peter had had a just conception of the exalted priv- ilege there was in being "one of them," it seems hardly creditable that he would have dc'uied his disciples with Jesus. The spirit that actuated Peter is still in the world. There is reproach heaped upon those who follow Jesus. Thou- sands are willing to be counted with the world but are unwilling to take a stand that would indicate that they belong to Jesus. Thy speech betrayeth thee, "Thy speech maketh thee known."—R. V. Peter had been speaking and his language and accent showed that he was a Galilean, and being a Galilean they were the more certain that he was one of Christ's followers. Mathew Henry says that the man is happy whose speech declares him to be a disciple of Christ. 74. To curse and to Swear. He called down Curses upon himself. and he made oath calling God to witness that what he said was true. Ile gave way to the spirit of evil, and apparently lost all self-control. There is a vast differ- ence between the language of Peter at the table where the Lord's Supper was instituted and the language he used in the court of Caiaphas' palace. It was the same Peter with respect to the same subject. Immediately the tock crew. What a sound that cock -crowing was in the ears of Peter. It resiled both his own wnrds and timer c,f Jesus a few hours b' -fore. That sound brought him to himself. Luke says, "And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter" (22:61). It never occurred to Peter at the time that these denials of his would go down in history, and be read and Commented upon for centuries.

Commentary.—T, Desertion and denial foretold (vs. 31.35). 31. Then— Before leaving the table on the occasion of the Institution of the Lord's supper and be- fore the farewell discourses were deliv- ered. Unto them—To his disciples. All ye shall be.offended-This statement was one that might well shock the feel- ings of those eleven disciples who be- lieved they were true to their 114aste . The word "offended" means to be en- trapped, or caused to stumble, aud Jesus gave them to understand that ` they would fail in their fidelity to Him. The announcement was the more startling, too, because this desertion was so close at hand, even "this night." It is written —The quotation is from Zech. 13. 7, which is a direct prediction of the event that was soon to take place. I will smite the shepherd, etc.—It will happen to you as to a flock of sheep, whose steep - herd, ete.—It will happen to you as to a flock of sheep, whose shepherd liaa been slain. The leader and guardian be- ing removed, the whole flock shall be scattered, and be on the point of l iin- Ing a prey to ravenous beasts.—Clirho. The Father would permit Christ His Bon, the Shepherd, to be smitten by Jilt enemys and the flock to be disyntarsee. 32.—After I am risen—A renewal of the prophecy and promise of His resir- rection. In connection with His prelic- tion of His sufferings and the desertion by His followers, He graciously foretell His resurrection and the gath � ai ag:tin of the scattered flock. Into Jesus would again be the Shepherd to lead them into the familiar scenes of Galilee. 33.—Peter answered—True to hie ?is - position, He was ready with an anawcr. Though all men shall be offended —Tet- er was brave in a sense, for he was ready to use the sword in defending his Lord (John 18. 10), but he was not as brave as he himself thought. I will never be offended (R. V.—This was the lang- uage of over.eonfidenee. Peter was sin- cere and earnest, and if he had made this strong declaration in the strength of God, he would have stood true to his Master, and would not have fallen into the gross sins of lying and swearing. Ills desires were good and his intentions commendable, but he trusted too much in his own strength. 34. Verily I say un- to thee—Peter had spoken in terms that might have convinced a mere man of their reliability, but Jesus saw the course of that night's events, and knew DOCTORS FAILED Suffered Several Tears With Kidney Trouble, "Peruna Cured Me."

The bladder seemed irritated, and niy physician said that it was catarrh caused by a protracted cold which would be difficult to over- come on account of my advanced years. I took Peruna, hardly daring to believe that I would be helped; but found to my relief that I soon began to mend. The irritation gradually subsided, and the urinary difficulties passed away. I have enjoyed excellent health now for the past seven months. I enjoy my meals, sleep soundly, and am as well as I was twenty years ago• I give all praise to Peruna." s 1 Collar Bag, $LOO 'Bits Coller Bag would make a most practical and attractive Christmas Gift for any man.

"And he cometh, and flndet;i them sleeping, and saith unto Peter. Simon, sleepest ,thou* Couldst not thou watch one livor?" Mark 14, 37-40). Peter elept when lie should have watched. slept after Jesus' rebuke and exhortation, "Watch ye and pray." To "overrate self is to underrate the en- emy." From age to age has the com- mand to "watch" been give:l. :The pro- phets bid its "Watch the way" (Nab. 2, 1). -Watch to see what he will say" (Hal. 2, 1). Jesus hide us "Watch and pray" (Matt. 26, 41). Paul tells us to watch and be strong (I. Cor. 16, 13, watch and be sober (I. Thess. 5, 6). Again he says: "Watch thou in all Mingo" (11. Tim. 4, 5). Peter having ;earned his lesson through his unwatch- fulnees in the garden, bids us "Watch unto prayer" (1. Pet, .1, 7), Lying, ' I know nota the man" (v. 74).
