when Jesus was arrested. 72. again he
denied --He followed Jesus "afar off,",
which was the beginning of his fall;"then
lie disclaimed knowledge of what the
maid meant when she charged him with
having been with Jesus; now he melees
his denial more emphatic by introducing
an oath, or . affirmation, that he was
speaking the truth. 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. IIe was

LESSON )C.—DEG. 4, 1910.
Peter's Denial.—M att. 26; 3I-35,
89-75.
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

Bladder Trouble.
Mr. C. P. Newhaf, 10 Delaware
street, Albany, N. Y., writes:
"Since my advanced age I find that
I have been frequently troubled with
urinary ailments. 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."

mand to "watch" been give:l. :The pro-

watch and be strong (I. Cor. 16, 13,

Again he says: "Watch thou in all
