While the, dievaples were waiting in Galilee, seven of them dotard to go amen to the sea and take up their ola business, which now for two years had been laid aside. The seven were Peter, T.liontas, Nation- ael, James, John and two others. They probably needed. to do something for their supRort, end so when rotor said be was going fishing; the °there immedi- ately fell in with the idea end went with him. Although during the night wes the best time to fish, yet that night they caught nothing. There were plenty of fish in the hike aud under or- dine.ry eircumatenees they would have caught them; but our Lord evidently performed a naracle to keep the fish out of the net until the proper time, when, by perfortning asiptber miracle, he could fill the net and thus make a strong im- pression upon them, In the early morn- in,g Jesus appeared on the shore, but they did not recognize him, He called to them asked them if they had any meat., arid told them where to castatheir net in order to find. "They cest, there. fore, and now they were not able tO draw it for the multitude of fishes." lohn at once mid, "It is the Lord." As soon as he heard this, Peter put ou his outer coat, "for he was naked" (naked may mean nothing more than being des- titute of his upper garment, or it may mean stripped to his waiste,oat), and -waded or swam ashore, as they were only two hundred cubits (one hundred yards) from land. II. Christ's charge to Peter (vs. 12-1.7)• 12. come and dine -Jesus now provided a morning meal for the disciples, prob- ably in aniiraculous manner; but they were invited to bring of Ole fish which they had just caught,. and thus was the fruit of their labor joined to that which Christ had prepared for them. 13. giv- eth them -it is not said hese that Jesus ate as in Luke 24;43. 14. third time - While this was Christ's seventh appear- ance, it was only the third time he had appeared to the disciples in a body. 15. when they had dined -Eating together was a token of fellowship and here shows Jesus' perfect reconciliation to all his disciples. Simon, son of Jonas -He does not call him Cephas, or Peter, the naine he nad given him, for he had lost the credit of his strength and stability, which those names signified. By thus addressing him it would the more af- fect him and bring vividly before him his denaal. lovest thou me -There were special reasons why this question should be put to Peter: 1. He had denied his love for Christ and there was reason for Christ to suspect his love. 2. He must learn that love to Christ is the thing most commendable and the surest proof of penitence. There is a curious change of terms here. Jesus uses the word. love three times ip his questions and Peter uses it three times in his answers, but the word which J esus uses in his first two- queetions is agapoa., which means to love supremely, perfectly, whereas the word which Peter uses in all of his answers, and which Jesus uses in His last question, is phileo, a verb used to express merely natural affection and may be translated to like, to re:sard, to feel friendship for.. ..The word used by jesus in His first ques- tions was a stronger, deeper word than Peter dared to use, More than these - That is, more than these other disciples love me. Others think that by "mon than these." Jesus meant the boat, nets and fish -in fact, His business. Whether Christ meant this -or not, it should be remembered that if our love to Christ is perfect, we shall love Him more than we lave our earthly possessions. What- ever Jesus meant, to uait means that we are to give, Christ the first place in our affections. Peter avoided any reference to this part of the question. Thou knowest that I love thee -He knew that there was love in his heart. Feed my lambs -This is a commission to eive spiritual food to.the youngest and•the weakest in the flock of Christ. 16. Feed. my sheep -Here he uses a word which signifies to tend a flock, not only to feed, but to take care of, guide, gov- ern, defend. 17. The third time -The three ques- tions could not but recall the three den- ials, and the forra of the 1114 question could not but vividly bring back the thought of the failure of personal devo- tion at the moment of trial.-Westeott. Lovest thou me -This time jesus uses Peter's word for lovesas much as to say, "Well, Peter, do you even have a feel- ing of friendship and regerd for Me?" Was grieved -Because he pressed the question the third time and thus called attention to his failure, and because in changing the word He had used for love He seemed to imply it. doubt of his love. It has been suggested that Peter feared kit Christ still saw something wrong in his heart that would lead to another kill. Thou knowest things -He •was nure of Christ's perfect knowledge, and. humbly appeale to Him for proof of his love. Feed my sheep -Still another Word is used here by Christ to repre- sent the flock committed to Peter's care, which means, "little sheep;" "the sheep - Hugs" (Sahaff); the tender and delicate that needed special care. "The parpose of these i&iestions seems to have bon 1. To shoV-Peter that Jesus knew his failures and heartily forgave them. 2, TO guard him against his natural self. confidence lest be should again fall. 3. To show his brethren that he was fully restored. 4. To set clearly before him the great work he was to do. 5. To im- press upon him that only in deep and earnest love to Jesus Could he do this work.'

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. , 1, Restoratiou, "Jeaus saith to Simoa Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than those?" (v, 15). The gen. tleness of the rebuke in this stabile res toration of Peter was like our Lordslly "a fire of coals" (John 21. 0) Peter den - lea his Lord (johe 18. 18) with 4 three- fold lie (Matt, 20. 75). In/the presence of a miraculous draft of fishes (john el. 11) was he first called (Luke 0. 10, 11). In His first amestion the Lord used the word apples expressing reverential love, putting Peter in the place of a dis- ciple, Peter responded with nhileo, Word deeoting warm, personei devotion. Tbe same distinetion is in the secoua question. The thira time the Lord adopt. ed Peter's own utterance,' Peter, el - though grieved was positive fa bis state- ment. 11. Refreshment. "When they had din. ed" (v. Li). God Devoe says to a hungry Christian, "Feed My sheep."

Love is the "great. est" (1 Ger, 13, 13). Love broughtJesus from heaven to die for, us, love impels us to serve and suffer for him. 2, Personal. "Lovest thou Me?" fio love Jesus is to love to think about Him hear about Him, read about Him, talk to Him, please Him, know His frienla, mourn over any sin, guard against its repetition, let no sin or sorrow keep us from Him, laid cling to Him for what He is, not for what He givee. 3. Proved. "Lovest, thou Me more than these?" "I love Om" When Peter loved little he said "Altnough all shell Le of-• fended, yet trill not I" (Mark 14.20).

"I like to go to Aunt Realtors best," a little girl said; "she keeps the cookies on the lowest -Shelf, Aunt Joiie puts hers .up high." Feeding the lainbs is lewly, careful, continuous, choice, labor. ious work, but it pays abeve and beyond any other. "Feed my lambs." Christ "commits what lie loves to the care of those who love him. To feed his lambs, because they are his, is a proof of love, brings an inflow- of more love, than an ontflow of greater love. "Feed my lainbs." The little innocent, wandei- ing, playful, weak ones. Xavier, the great missionary, overcome with his la- bor, lay down one dey in his tent to' sleep. "Do not call me," he said, "unless a little child passes by." The opportun- ity to speak to a little child was not to be lightly regarded. "Tend my sheep" (v. 16, R. V.) Visit the siek, care for the poor, rescue the wandering, rebuke the wilful, comfort- the afflicted, pray with the dying. Shepherd my sheep. Guard, guide, go out after, give your life for them. "Feed my sheep: (v. 17.) A lost traveller perishing in the desert saw a small bag lyieg on the sand. Slipping from his camel, he seized it Pagerly and tore it open, hoping to find dates or wa- ter.

After leaving her Imsband for taro months, for the purpose of taking violin lessons, for which he could ill afford te pay, she returned for a short time, but, eventually she went to her termer home, saying that when her husband obtained a post in a "livable" town she would go back to him. , • The minister succeeded in finding a elturelt in the east, says the Provtdetne Journal, and hie wife joined him, seem - livery; ear tote 5c iess. her husband again; and efter this she came home for brief intervals only, al- ways derminding money for dress at these times.

Whether he would return to Chine depended entireiv upon the utate of his health, Concerning China's Alto°, Sir Rob- ert said he was a great believer in the Chinese.
