At the meeting on last Wednesday the opening address was given by Mrs. A. A. Young.

Peter' Lacks the Faith I The endfng of the first year of the minlstrv of Christ on earth had come and with the many miracles and the : healings which he had done for the 'people, he had endeared himself to them, and had awakened their faith that he was more than man, and even more than a king which should re- rtAra Iha IT 1 n cr r r. Tr of TcmCll O T"l P.Q rt h - OltFiC " 'As the people were traveling to Jeru salem, where they were going for one of the great feasts,, they were gather ed on the east side of the lake. After 'having heard the gracious word3 of the Master, they stayed late, and as they had traveled for some time and listened to the discourses of Christ, they had consumed all their edibles and were even becoming exhausted , from their long vigil. j Some of the disciples came to ; Christ and said. "What shall we do 'with the multitude, for they are hungry, and if we send them away as: they are, they will no doubt perish I by the way." The Master replied, ; "Give ye them to eat." Just then came Andrew, who was noted for his J finding some one and bringing them to Christ, and with him brought a lad with five loaves and two email fish. ; Then Christ commanded that all be made to Bit on the grass, and that they be fed from the plentlfulness he . was about to provide for them. This being done, the five thousand com prising the hungry multitude were i all abundantly provided for and then the command was given to gather up .the fragments that nothing be lost. A little later, as evening came on, Christ commanded the disciples to get into their boat, while he sent the multituiles away. They were directed to cros3 the sea, to Capernium, or Bethsadia, which was a suburb of the larger place, and which was some seven or eight miles away, and across the sea. Then did Christ send the multitudes away, for it must needs tbe, as they desired to make him a king. When he had by what man ner of means he used, sent them to .their homes, he went up into the mountain to pray. The Master had ; recognized a disposition of the peo ; pie to take him by force and make jhim a king, and he wanted to com jmune with the Father on the sub ject and get what strength he could ! for the days which were to come. i Christ knew that for no such a mis jsion was he sent into this world, but i to fulfill the command and to further ;the plan of the father to die for a jlost world, was he to give his life, . and for this he went and prayed alone in the dark dreary mountains, with the storm coming and raging about (him even then. In this prayer, no 'doubt the little band of disciples out on the sea, in the raging storm, com manded much of his thought, his at tention and his prayers. The disciples had started for their destination over jthe lake, and were at first making very fair headway, when the wind arose in their face and blew against their boat, making it extremely dif ficult for them to make much or any t progress. ! After they had been rowing for some seven or eight hours, and had made not to exceed five miles, they i were pretty well discouraged and llike the multitude, were worn and weary, disheartened and discouraged, 'and ready to give up, with every nerve tingling with the tenseness and the fear, and the muscles flagged Iwith long continued rowing against the head wind. ' Then just as it was about to break day, they saw something flitting over the waves in the distance and look ing intensely they thought it was a spirit or a ghost, and they were frightened notwithstanding the fact that they were strong, hardy, vigor ous men. much used to this rigorojs life. Then as the source of their fear was about to pass their cries be came louder and the Master, for it jv.as he. called to tbem over the wat ers, saying, "Be of good cheer! It is I, be not afraid." Then awoke Peter, the real refer, for he was an impul sive soul, and when he heard the voice of the Master above the raging of the storm, he said, "If it is you, I will come at your ccfmmand." and the Master said, "Come!" Then that very one who was so soon to say to the Master, "Thou art the Christ, the son of tbe living God," was filled with a desire to be by the side of the Sav ior, and climbing over the side of the boat, he was supported by the water (Which had been so venemous as to devour the entire party, and found that at the command of the Master he too could walk.on the water. Th,e sound of the Master's voice, Jthe kindly smile through the black j ness of the night and the raging of the waters had given Peter a tempor ary great faith and he felt that to be ibe with the Master was just what he most desired, and was willing to do 'anything to accomplish that end. But alas, a huge wave rolled between ,them. with the Master on one side and Peter on the other, and with the vision of the Master removed and the frowning wave threatening to bury him, his faith fled as soon as it had engendered, and as he began to sink, the crest of the wave rolled on, re storing his vision and he cried out in fear again, "Lord save, or I perish." Jesus stretched out his hand and said, "O, thou of little faith, where fore didst thou doubt." Encouraging him to the exercise of more faith. Then they got into the boat, and the storm was all gone for the pres ence of the Master drove every doubt, darkness and trouble away. i For when he was at another time! asleep on the boat and the disciples' awoke him and he says in that kind- 4 QUITTING We still have plenty of Merchandise for the whole family at prices that insure great sav ings.

They all shall sweetly obey thy will Peace, peace, be still. No water could indeed swallow the : ship in which tbe Master of earth, of , ocean and skies as well as the eternal varieties, in conjunction with the ! Father and the Holy Spirit, were j masters. j The disciples who had been filled ! with fright and iorbodings during the severe trial of the trip across tbe sea, new worshiped the Master say-, ing.

And the Scriptures tell us when he began to fear was when he took his eyes off of the Lord. There is no indication that the wind had grown more severe while the dis ciple was walking on the water. It had been just as fierce and the waves had been just as boisterouswhen he first sprang from the side of the boat. But then he had his eyes on the Mas ter and his thoughts were fixed on Him, and he had no concern for anj--thing else. So long as he continued of that mind, he was safe and could have walked anywhere. But when he looked away from the Christ and at the boisterous waves and felt the keen wind driving the water into his fare and drenching him, he was struck with fear and his faith began to ebb with the fear and he was lost." Peter was like many another man, who when he takes his eyes and his trust away from Christ, the Son of God, sees everything in a terrible and overwhelming light and begins to sink into the surrounding worldiness. This is literally true today and ex plains why it behooves Christians to keep in communion with God and not become lax in their faith. Peter had thought himself strong, and had prided himself that he could do anything, tut he found that true strength comes only from the Savior, and losing sight of the source of his ability, he cried out in fear, "Lord, save, or I perish." Do not make undue trial of the Lord merely to test his strength. Be sure your faith is well grounded be fore you push yourself into danger, and that needlessly, but when dan ger comes unbidden unto you. rely on the strength of the Lord, and you to will be able to brave the storm, re gardless of what may seem pitted against you. How like us, was Peter, as de- scribed in the verse: Rough old fisherman, broth erly dear Near to my weakness, very near! Far from your folly I would flee: Brave with your boldness I would be Teter, the Rock Man. DEY LAW IS DEMORALIZED Detroit, April 5.
