Went out -Jesus and his diseiples went in a northeasterly direc- tion from lletlisaida, where he had heat- ed a blind man, along the -course of the Jordau. Ile eought retirement fot oee of the most important Cthieti of his earthly ministry. "The Mit:tele ot the beautiful district whither detus 1.)W journeyed is illustrated by the fact that it is the only dietrict of Palestiae 'vhere a recent traveller found the "pettcan of the wildernese" (Psa. 102 : Cam P- ea Philippi -The ancient name tots Pen- eas from the pagan diety Pan, but hc eity was rebuilt by Herod \Os named it Caesarea, in honor of Tiberius Caesar. It waa ealled Caesarea Philippi, or Philip's Caesarea, to distinguish it from Caesarea, on the Mediterranean, This 'MIS largely be- youd the region of J etvish inflame:Le 113141 the farthest north that Jesus jour- neyed. Whom do men say that I tun -The question was aelted to draw out the opinions of the disciples and to pre- pare them for the great oubjeets to be presented, 28. They answered --Vari- ous opinious were held yet all agreed that he was an extraordinary persou- age. Some said John the Baptist hed returned to life. Some thought he wes Elias, (the Greek form for Elijah), who was to be the foteruuner of the Mee - Meth; and others said he was one of the prophets, that is, one of the old pro- phet e risen again (Luke 919). It ap- pears that the thought that Jesus was the Messiah did not prevail tunong the people. Whom eel- ye that I ani -This was a natural question to ask at this point. Jesus would now have the dis- ciples declare how they had been inn pressed by his teaching, his' miracles and. his personal influenee. Peter answereth -Peter was. the spokesman at the dis- ciples, not only on this occasion, but generally. Hie impuleive nature. and his quieleness of apprehension favored this practise. It is thought that he was the oldest of the twelve. .Although Pete.r answered the question, hie reply ex- pressed the sentiment of them all. Thou are the Christ -Christ is the Greek word for "anointed," and. Messinh, the Hebrew for tile same idea. There wee no hesitancy and no uncertainty. 'Ile declaration was poeitivt; and emphatic. Matthew adde the. words, "The Son of the living God" (16:10). This denotes the nature of Jesus in his relation to the Godhead. There is fully implied in this statement the fact of his divinity, as the former statement declares his office, as the Messiah, "The phrase, 'living God,' was common among the Jews, not inevely to distinguish Je- hovah from idols, but also to indieate his character as a personal Being who enters into sympathetic relations with the soul of man." -Abbott. Peter's confession contains the very essence of Christian doctrine 30. Tell no man - The time tor his tull manifestation had not yet come, and he was not willing to provoke the Jewish malice or the Ro- man envy, by permitting his disciples to announce him as the Savior of a lost world. II. Christ's prophecy of his death and resurrection (vs. 31-33). 31. He began to teach them -The question asked and the answer given prepared the way for Jesus to declare plainly to his dieciplee the truth, that he 11111st Suffer aud die, and be raised again in the fulfilment of his great migeion. He had -spoken fig- uratively of his death, and. John the Baptiet had. called him the Lamb of God who would take away the in of, the world (John 1: 29). Jesus had said, "Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up" (John 2: 19), To Nicodemue he bad said that the Son of Man must be lifted up (John 3: 14). He' had told the disciples that "the bride- groom" would "be taken from them" (Matt. 9: 15). He had said in the syna- gogue at Capernaum that his fleeh would be given for the life of the world (John 6: 51). Now in clear and unmis- takable language he foretold hie death. Suffer many things, etc. -The opposition would constantly increase and eulminate in his death at the hands of the highest officials of the Jews. Rise again -Here is expressed a prophecy and a promise of hie reeurrection. 112. Openly -The word is used in the sense of plainly, not, publicly. Peter took him -Aside. Began to rebuke him -Peter's impulsiveness again asserted iteelf. He could. not reconeile the e011r6e Jesus had declared was lying beforc him with the great fact of his Meseiallehip. 33. Get the behind me, Satan -Jesus did not eall Peter Satan, but indieated that Peter's rebuke emanated from Satan. Satan put the word' in Peter's 31101411, and JeSUS used the same hen - gee& that he did at the temptation in the wilderness. Thou mindest not (R. V,) --Peter took into consideration not the deep import of Christ's misesion, but bad temporal advantage and glory in view.

PRACTICAL SURVISX, Tople-Christ revealed. I. In ids person and work. the lives ef his disciples L In his person and work. The ques- tion tvhich Jesus asked his disciples shows 110W dear to him is the perste-nal faith of an iudividual, and how essential to salvation is the right apprehension of his character as the Redeemer. Jeeus did not cater to public opinion„ yet he sought to have men form a clear and. right conception concerning him. He examined his disciplte3 on this most im- tortant of all questions in order to draw from them a defioite eonfession ;of their faith. He put them, in a different class from the multitude, and at the same timl taught them that it was part of their duty to be interested in the spiritual Welfare of their fellow men. Peter's short lint illustrions statement contained the whole truth with respect to the per- son and work of Christ. He aeserted the divinity as well as the humanity of Christ. Thi e was the Era great con- fossion of faith which has (mine down to us through the ages. Jesus affirmed the divinity of his redemptive miesion, and assured Peter that his profession of faith was a rich source of happiness to him. He declared that the truth which Peter confese,ed should never be lost to the great body of his faithful ones. Peter did not come to confese that great truth by nature, education or even by witnese- ing Christ's miraelee. It was the direct act of the Father by which Petr wae Utile enlightened, The revelation of Christ is an inward power rather than a seientific belief. "All the glory of Christ as Medirutor hangs upon the knowledge of his pdrson." It is the pre- rogative of the Father to reveal his Son. The foundation of the church is an indsetructible truth, Jesus repre- sented the church as an edifice of which is the architect and builder. The church is beilt upon him and not upou an idea or representation of him. Tn the language of the Jewish Sehoo1s "to bind" and "to loose" meant to prohibit and to permit, to determine what was wrong and must not be done, and what was right and ought to be done. Jesus gave authority to every inan who livee in the higher realm of truth to open up that truth to others. When Jesus had drawn from hie disciples the. ac- knowledgment of his divinity he an- nounced his approaching paesion. It would have been useless to speak of his death until they were convinced of his divinity, and still the apostles were un- prepared for his sayings, and could neither understand nor accept them Peter's heart was agitated. His mighty grasp of faith concerning the divinity of Christ was .much the same as it was when he stepped out upon the water to go to Jeens, and his humanity predom- mated again as before; this time, in the disappointment that his Lord should not have the glory he expected of hiln. Jesus, rebuke prevented the ereatnese of his faith from being e,poiloe by the earthliness of his hopes. imon•you can save $10 a month -buy a lot at NEW HAZEITON The most important City on the Grand Trunk Pacific In interior British Columbia.

That the plane of the convicts did not materialize was due to the work of operatives from the Burns Detective .Agency, who have been quietly working in Jackson prison the last week. Had the plans of the convicts not been uip- ped in the bud 16 18 probable that a far- reaching conspiracy would have been carried to a snecessthl termination. MEDICAL COUNCIL OFFICER.
