The Great Queetion,-.Merk 27-9: 1.
Commentary -I. Peter'e eonfession (ve,
27-30), 27. 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

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. Peter'e words howed very clearly
that be had failed to grasp the nature
and completenees of Chriettt work as
the world's Redeemer.
TH. Conditions and rewards of dis-
cipleship (v$. 8;344)). 34. Called the
people...with his disciples -There were
those who gathered in the wilderness
that they might be near 'loses. They
were apparently at some dietence from
him and his diseiples when lie called
them to him. Whosoever will come af-
ter me -The word, "will," is not the
sign of the future tense here, but ex-
presses determination. Whosoever wide

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.

With the exception of the official

Labor, were presented to the thirty-sec-
ond annual convention of the organiza-
tion in session here to -day,
The report of President Samuel Gomp-
ers was a. thoro-ugh and voluminous re-
view of the work of the organization for
the past year, particularly with regard to
legislation endorsed and supported by the

forth that. during the year ending Sep-
tember 30th, 1912, 260 charters were issued
to labor organizations affiliating with the
Federation.
President Gompers reported progress in
the organization of the International
Labor Movement in Canada and Porto
Rico. In Canada he reported a total
membership of from 60,000 to 70,000 in the
Trades and Labor Congress, and in Porto
Rico he declared 160 unions had been or-
ganized with 9,000 members. Improved
working conditions were reported in both
Canada and Porto Rico.

statements from the building trades, met-
al trades, mining, railroad employees and
U81011 label trades 0.epartments, showing
the progress made by each department
of the Federation during the coming
Year.
The report of Secretary Frank Mor-
rison, of the Federation, showed total re-
ceipts of $207,373 for the year and expen-
ditures of $377,479. The Federation began
the year with a balance of $70,105 less.
In discussing the strikes of the year, Mr.

"Reports from 64 national and interna-
tional organizations, and from local un-
ions directly affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor show that there
were 716 strikes, in which there were 74,-
069 involved. Of that number 66,592 were
benefitted and 6,177 not benefitted. The
total cost of the strikes reported on was
$1,986,263. Adding to that amount $156,889,
donations made by local unions to other
unions, we have a total of $2,143,153, ex-
pended to sustain members on strike
during the past year."
Shnilar figures were set forth in the
report of Treasurer John B. Lennon,

dent Taft that he would retire ehortly

REVENUE GROWS
Seven Months' Increase
Nearly Twenty Millions.
Ottawa, IN'oy. 11. -The Federaltreas-
ury is steadily filling up, pending com-
ing vaster expenditures under Hon. Rob-
ert Rogers' administration of the Public
Works Department, the raid of British,
Columbia, and the emergency contribu-
tion of thirty millions. The revenue for
the first seven months of the fiscal
year has totalled $90,137,570, an increase
of nearly twenty millions as compared
with the seven months from April to
_ October, inclusive, of last year.
The revenue for last month was $14,-
758,946, an increase of $2,536,525 over
October of last year.
Expenditures on coneolidated fluid Re-
count totalled $51,275,393 for the SOVen
months,an increase of eleven millione.
On capital account the expenditure so
, far reported to the Finance Departznont
has been $15,064,978, an increase of
about it million.
It is worth noting that -despite Prem-
ier Borden's pre-election statements as
to wasteful Liberal expenditutes on the
cost of ordinary administration, the new
Government has increased expenditures
on this account during the past eeven
months by eleven millions, or nearly
thirty per cent.
The revenue increase has been due
principally to steadily increasing im-
ports, and the consequently growing
customs revenue has totalled $66,561,-
127, an increase of $16,372,018 over the
correeponding period of last year. Ex-
cise revenue has totalled 02,083,029, an

deeper into his adventures as -a paid
dynamiter, Ortie E. McManigal told at
the "dynamite conspiracy" trial to -day
of wrecked bridges, viaducts and build-
ings he left behind in eaueing explosions
in various cities.
"After 1 blew .up the power house of
a car shop in Mount Vernon, Ilh, Her-
bert S. Hoekin came to me at Chicago
and said. I had gotten the wrong job,"
testified McManigal-
"He ‚said 1 would have to blow up a
railroad bridge, and the union'e execu-
tive board. wouldn't allow me pay for.
the job.
"A few days later Koala returned
with J. B. McNamara. McNamara eaid
he had just Pomo from Salt Lake City,
where lie had blown up the Utah Rotel
building. He told me J. E. Munsey, the
business agent at Salt Lake City, had
arranged for the explosion, and Muneey
also arranged to prove an alibi when the
explosion came off, by going to it etore
and talking to the pereone there.
"Hockin said he had plenty for me to
do. He said T. was to go to Indianapolis,
get twelve quarts of nitro-glycerine and
blow up the Denison -Harvard viaduct, in
Cleveland, on 'Time 22. J. B. McNamara
occompanied me from Cincinnati to In-
dianapolis. On the train I told Mc-
Natnara that Hoekin was to pay me
$125 for each job. He Was surprised,
saying the executive board was allowing
$200 and expenses for eaeh job.

CAN A COW SUICIDE?
Aviator Loses Suit Over
Animal He Killed.
London, Nov. 11. -Can a 'cow -commit
Suicide? A farmer in Farnham, in
Surrey, brought suit against Col, S. F.
Cody, the aviator, who renounced hie
American citizenship in order to ac-
cept a position in the British military
aviation corps, to find mit about this.
He asserted that Col. Cody in one of
his aviation flights came down on top
of his good cow. The cow was killed
and the farmer demanded $100.
Col. Cody asserted that the cow
committed euleide. She rushed at his
monoplane as he descended and there-
by loet her life.
The judge did not quite see Col.
Cody's argument. He held that an
1 aeroplane was a dangerous machine,
and while the Colonel himself was not
guilty of negligence in the ease of the
unfortunate cow he must pay $00 dam -
'ages for her lamented end.
CONVICTS PLOTTED
Jackson Dynamite Plans
Were Nipped in Bud.
-___-t__-_
Jackson, Nov. 28. -That an extensive
plot which had for its object the dyna-
miting of 'Jackson State Prison, the
killing of a number of guards and, a
general escape of the convicts has been
in the process of forming in Jackson
Prison for several weeks past was the
information that came out this after-
noon following an enquiry into the re-
MOVal of seven convicts from Jackson
prison last night.
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.
