WE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Plrne---In the month of April, A.D. 30. Place ---At the S 2a a!' Galilee, probably near Capp rn.turt1. S'iirnon Peter therefore went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, the net was not rent, Peter 'ever takes the initia- tive (John 21:3). "'It Is The Lord" No more beautiful portrait in all these exquisite Gospel narratives Was ever drawn than thin early morning scene, ,where the disciples, more or less bewil- dered by the Lord's presence, sat down together for a simple break- fast. Christ Knows Our Needs .Inhn 21: 12-14. 12. Jesus saith unto them, Come and break your fat. And none of the disciples durst inquire of him, Who art thou' knowing that it was the Lord. 13. Jccus cometh, and talc - et) the bread, and giveth them. and the fish likewise. The meal proceeded in silence. Jesus him- self passed from one to another, bringing to each the bread and fish. No one dared ask who he was, for all by this time knew him to be the Lord. 14. This is now the third time that. Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after that he was risen from the dead. Th.c two previous appearances which arc here refer- red to were, no doubt, those re- coi.•ded by John in the preceding chapter, the first, verses 19-23; the second, verses 26-29. "Lovest Thou Me?" John 21: 15-17. 15. So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, S'mon, son of John. Lovest thou me more than these? Some days before this Peter hacl insinuated that he was more faithful and more de- pendable than any of the other disciples (Mark 14: 29-31. Now OPT Lord faces him with this pene- trating question whether be really loved the Master more than any of the other disciples. "Lovest thou me?" Jesus Christ sues each or us,- not for obedience primarily, not for repentance, not for vows, not or conduct, but for a heart; .and, that being given, all the rest will follow. That is the distin- guishing characteristic of Chris - morality, that Jesus seeks first for the surrender of the af- fections, and believes, and is war- ranted in the belief, that if these PTO surrendered, all else will fol- low; and, love being given, loy- alty and service and repentance .and hatred of self-will and of self- seeking will follow in her train. He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. No pian can speak this way to the Lod, whether face to fete as Pet- er was here, or, as we speak to Christ, in prayer, unless he abso- lutely believes in his own heart that he does love the Lord, and, beeanse ho is convinced he does love him, he is also convinced that the Lord knows he loves him. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. .As long as they had Christ's sheep -to Care for, Christ would not seem to be quite gone out of the world. And how are we to feed the sleep? By giving them the word of God. UriliVemity Preserves Native Canadian Crafts "Feed My Sheep" 16. IIe saith to him again a second time, Simon, son of John, 10 -'est thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that 1 love thee. He saith unto him, Tend my sheep. The verb here translated "tend" means "to shep- herd." 17. Ho saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved be- cause he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto hitr, . Feed my sheep. 18. Verily, verily, I say unto thEe-, When thou wast young, thou p,adedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt ittt'ch forth thy hands, and an- other shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou woulest not. 11.a Now this he spake, signifying by what manner of death he shelild glorify God. Jesus foretells at least that this disciple shall be stared to old age, and that then he shall meet with a violent death. We have now no certain knowl- edge of the time or place or mode of Peter's death. With the excep- tion of a passing and general al- lusion to his death in Clement of Rome there is not for a century after it must have taken place any historical mention of him. Frons the end of the second century, however, there flows a steady Stream of tradition, testifying to A course to stimulate interest in the home and community ai?ts of Canada is being planned at the University of Toronto.

"Follow Me" 194. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto hini, Follow me. During the Lord's earthly life following him implied the abandonment of previous occupa- tions (Matt. 9: 9) and duties (Matt. 8: 22), attendance upon him, perhaps in disgrace and dan- ger (Blatt. 10: 38). Now to "fol- low Christ" required coming to hint as a sinful creature, and find- ing one's whole salvation and hope in humble reliance on the merit of his death. Then we may follow him in obedience and imitation and glad communion. High Heels Tire Feet and Body Watch Out For the Peril of "High -Heel Hobble", Brti- ish Physician Warns.

Abnormal Strain "The psychological damage, too, is often considerable," he says, "as the victim seems to think that ev- eryone behind her is looking at her heels, "She cannot get away from the fact that, to keep her feet decent, she has to buy many more pairs."

Rabbit Waits Till He Gets Shotgun They had rabbit pie at the Victor household in Oshawa last week, and thereby hangs the tale of an optimistic hunter, Charles Victor, a motorman of the Oshawa Street Railway on an early run to Oshawa -on - the -Lake, noticed a large jack rabbit sleeping on the side of the road near the Oshawa Creek bridge. Telephoning home, Mr. Victor made arrange- ments to have his shotgun avail- able at the completion of his run. As soon as he was off duty he returned to the lake to see the jack rabbit still sleep- ing. Unwilling to take advantage of the rabbit's trust in safety, the "hunter" roused hire, and as he bounded for safety took Ellin and fired.
