Time.-- Ohrist spoke the pa2•abe o7' the prodigal son:in January, A: D. 30, three months before His cruci- fixion. Peter's Pentecostal sermon was delivered on Sunday,':.. May 28, A,D. 30. Plage•—T]Ie, 'par'able of the prodi- gal son was spoken in Peraea, east of the "Jordan. Peter's sermon was prea.ebecl in Jerusalem, in : or near the "upper •room of the Lord's . supper. REPENTANCE IN THE GOSPELS. Repentance is more than •sorrow* far sin. Many a min has that, and Yet rushes again into the old mire. To change the mind and will is not enough unless the change is certi- fled to be real by deeds correspond ng. So •Johna preached the trate na- ture of repentance when he called for its fruits. .knd he said, A certain man • had two sons, ' The certain: pian „ is • God, the : Heavenly; Father: The Younger son represents penitent sinners and the olc1 son represents proud sinners, who do 'not regard themselves as sinners at all. And; the younger of them said to his father, Father, `give me the poi - tion of thy ,substance that falleth to me. AM he divided unto them his living, "A younger brother's per tion, according to the Jewish laws of inheritance; would, *he the half that which the elder, brother should receive '(Deet. 21:17; 2 Things 2: 9.) Contemplated' spiritually this request is the expression of naen's desire to be -independent of God, to become 'a god to himself (Gen. 3: 5,) and to lay out his life at his own will and for his pleasure.

Creator tal.etl here for the Wing - hard Creamery, I)AVE''S STORE, W ROXETER And not many days after., the younger son gathered .all together and took his journey int() .a far Coun- try, As we see the prodigal sons around r us, the far country inay be only across the street .indeed, the prodigal •.may remain at home;; for it is a heart journey, a journey of interest and ,desire,, this to a far country: .And there he wasted his substance with riotous' living. Boys, I:ve given up being a good fellow,; said. one of my elasanates at a poi - lege reunion. Ten years of it was enough. And now after the waste of tell golden years, and five more of (decent.living, play conclusion is that it's beter to be a ,square than than a good` fellow. And, when he had: spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that coun- try; oun-try; and he began to be in want. Sinning .is an expensive business. Poverty is one of its legitimate child- ren. And he went and joined himself to one Of the citizens of that coun- try; and he sent him into `his fields to feed swine. Many sins win us by promising 'advancement or at least pleasure; they never give us either. And he would fain have filled his. belly with the husks that the swine did eat; and no man gave unto loin. These "husks" were . the pods of the carob tree, . the beans of ,which were used tor weights, whence cane our "carat." But when he cafe to himself. He bad been "beside himself." It is not suggested that the; sinner is beside himself in th sense that he is not responsible for his actions, but that in sinning he is acting contrary, to his *highest reason: Be said, How many hfred servants of my father's have bread enough and to ,spare, and. I perish: here with hunger! Ac1- versity is a wonderful eye-opener. Necessity ie the mother of common sense. I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have shied against heaven,, and in thy 'sight. This is true repentance, even though prompted by hunger. He is not going to wait till he feels greater sorrow for his sins. He will not tarry under the delusion that he ran make himself any better, l ant Ito »,etre worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hired servants: 'true repentance humbles us to the dust, and takes na to our Lorcl in lowliest humility. And he arose, and cane .. to his father. We picture hint toiling on for many a weary 'utile with dizzy head, and swimming eye, and sink- ing heart—bis lilts' parched with thirst, his limbs staggering with faintness, his body famished with hunger. Ts' it not noteworthy that in this story, so exquisitely told and so'' rich in detail, not one word is said of all these difficulties and troubles? Our blessed Lordcasts,_a veil' over all that. intervened be- tween the moment of decision and the moment of meeting', because He would' have us know that when once the will is dee ided to arise and go fo the Father, the way to the Fath- er's house need be neither long not• tedious. But while he was yet afar off his fathersaw hint. •'rlae father was On the lookout for him, and lia:d beeni''tht•ough : all the weary Months since his boy left. In all the Bible no line pict.tres more beauti- fully. the yearning love of God for .1Iis lost ,children.' ....And was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and :kissed him, Christ is representing the Infinite Rulei" of the Universe; but here is no offended majesty, no standing on dignity; no exacting of humility. God goes out to meet every returning 'sinner, as far out as is best for the sinner Aunt- self. .And the son. said unto him.

And they began to be merry. For .the long tragedy was over and they had every reason to rejoice. Christ had Just spoken of the rejoic- ings of the angels' in heaven "over- atie sinner that repenteth•" (Luke 15:10.) REPENTANCE IN THE ACTS AND EPISTLES. This Jesus did God raise ` up, Our verses are front. the conclusion of Peter's noble sermon delivered at Pentecost after the descent of the Spirit, in whose power the apostle was preaching'. Whereof we all are witnesses. The twelve apostles standing there, and many, others with thein. Being therefore by the right hand. of God exalted. Peter and the others had seen the Lord <ascend, into heaven to sit again at the right hand of the Father. And having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, Our Lorcl had : told them (John. 14:16, .26) that God would send the Comforter to them in an - sever to his prayer i y He hath poured forth this,which ye see and hear. They had seen the tongues of fire, and had heard the rushing of a mighty wind and the apostles speak- ing in strange language (Acts 2: 2-4.) For David ascended not into the heavens, He, not like "great David's greater Son," went down to tile' grave in his death, and his body re- mained there. Buthe saith himself: See Ps. 110:1, The Lord said unto my Lord,. Sit thou on my right hand. David in this psalm, Peterasserts, was speaking of his descendant, Jesus, whom nevertheless he calls "my Lord," and exalts to the right hand of Jehovah: Till I make thine . enemies the footstool' of thyfeet. Conquerors in- dicated theivictory by placing their feet on the necks of. their foes, as was done by Joshua's chieftains (Josh, 10; 24.) Let all the house ` of Israel ( the nation of the Jews) therefore know assuredly, that God bath made'. hint both Lord. and Christ (both supreme ruler and foretold Messiah), this Jesus, whom ye crucified: those listening to Peter may have, had no. personal part in the crucifixion of 'Christ, but they had not protested against it, and they were a part of the whole' nation whicli hacl allowed it and urged it an. Now when they heard this; they were pricked in their heart, their sorrow and: shame being lake stings and goads driving thein to repent- ance. And' said unto Peter and the rest ofthe apostles, Brethren, what shall we do? Paul's cry at his con- version, Acts 22:10 the question asked by every soul when niacle to see his wickedness. And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, The first step of every convict - .ed sinner must bo to turn sharply from his sins and do them no more. And 'be baptized every' one of you in the' name of Jesus Christ. Tn token of fali�th in the Saviour, trust in Hits a'tonfnent for sin. Ui'ito the remission of your sins. Remission means "the sending away;" the sins are all ]aid on the Sin -beater, and are with the sinner 0o more. And ye shall receive the, gift of the Holy Spirit, in whose 1?bwer al611e forgiv- .en sinners can walk in newness of life .
