Regulars are Waiting Call to Go to China No Jore Marines Available to Send to Troubled Areas ; Army Trans ports Held in Readiness. Washington, April 11. The Unit ed States now plans to rush, troops from the regular army into China tr protect refugees who are fleeing tc Tien-tsin from the interior, it was learned Sunday. This will be done immediately- if the northern forces fail to hold the Cantonese in their drive on Peking and north China. A terrific battle? is now raging between the two forces. The troops are to be rushed from the trained units of the regular army in the Philippines and Hawaii. There are practically .two complete division? in the insular possessions. Army transports are now stand ing by to move the troops if the em ergency arises, it was learned. Rioting Continues. CiUcials fear such an emergency because of rioting in north China Americans are taking refuge in Tien tsin, the port and terminus of the railrcad that serves Peking and north China. Tien-tsin has nothing that could properly be called a defense from Chinese attacks. . such as has been built up at Shanghai. In the meantime, Admiral Clar ence S. Williams, commander in chief of the American forces in Asiatic waters, now in charge at Shanghai, deems it inadvisable to move any marines from there. Secretary of the Navy Wilbur decSared thr-t he con sidered their position precarious in the event of a determined attack from Cantonese. Since then the Canton ese troops who had advanced far ti the north have begun to fall back on Shanghai and the Yangtse river and renewed looting is expected. The marines now on their way to China are, not expected to arrive there before the crises develops. There is one regiment in Shanghai, one which sailed on April 7 from San Diego and one now being con centrated there to sail prior to April 20. It will be close to one month before any of them can reach there. No Government.

Briggrs Golden Text: Thou art the Christ, the Sop of the Living God. Matt. 16:16. Peter's Great Confession The 6etting of this lesson comes near the closing of the second year of earthly ministry of the Master. This was following the death of John the Baptist. John the Baptist had criticized the action of Herod who was and had been living in open abandonment with his brother's wife, and on account of John the Baptist saying it was not right and condemn ing it in unmeasured terms, the woman in the case had caused thru the king the arrest cf John the Bap tist and his being put in prison with the intention of after the passover being executed. But before this event the birthday of Herod came and a re ception was given by Herodias. the ex- wife of Phillip, but now living witn Herod, at which officials of Judea was present. Then Herodias had her daughter Salome, dance before the company, with the result that they were pleased and as Herod was well drunken he said with an oath, that he would give her whatever she might ask, as a reward even to the half of his kingdom. The lass being instruct ed by her mother before asked that she might have the head of John the Baptist in a charger. So the Baptist was beheaded in prison and the head given to the damsel and who gave it to her mother. When the disciples heard of it they went and taking the bodv of John buried it. Then when the fame of the Christ was at its heighth, Herod hearing of the same said, "This is John the Baptist risen from the dead." This showing that even the heathen king acknowledged that there was eternal life, and one could be raised from the dead. Then Christ absented himself from that portion of the country and send ing many out to go proclaiming that the Kingdom of God was near at hand. They were ministering away north of the Sea of Gallilee, and when they had come together the Master asked the disciples, saying, "Whom dc people say that I, the son of Man. am?" Christ had a fashion of call ing himself the son of man, as he was the earthly born representative of the human race before the Father in heaven. Christ was indeed the Son of God manisfested in the flesh as the Son of man. The disciples said that in many places the Christ was thought to be John th3 Baptist, even as Herod, risen from the dead, and that many mighty works were showing forth themselves thru him. Also some said thou art the prophet Jeremiah, and the Jews considered this the greatest prophet. Others said one or another of the prophets, notwithstanding many were looking for the meHsiah, which had been propheised for many hundred of vears. as the one to come and re ctore the Kingdom of Israel. Some looked for a literal kingdom of Israel to be restored instead of being ruled by the Roman empire. The disciples bad been in many places and met many people and knew what people were saying, and when the Master asked they were qualified to answer as they did. Now Christ was asking that he might teach the disciples a lesson, and he asked them directly. But whom do you say that I am. Peter who had a clear insight to the char acter of the Master, and who had reiLsoned more definitely than the others, but all had a deep impression that he was indeed the Son of God. said "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living-God." Peter was impul sive .and ever ready with an answer reflecting his mind and disposition and hi9 belief, though sometimes he was not right, but mostly so, and without anv hesitancy, said a aeciara- tion, which had come from the asso- Christ of God. for there is no other name under heaven or among men whereby we must be saved. Jesus answered and said unto him, "Blessed art thou Simon Bar-Jonah, flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but the Father who is in .. rhrM reeeWert Hint Peter ing a wavering worker before but after the experience at penticost he was ever steadfast. 1 Then said the Christ "I also say un- to you, thou are Peter?" This meant rock, for had not the Master said be fore, that he should be called Peter, which meant rock. Christ also said, "And upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." Upon the proposition as stated by . ac T ,l ou VB V , V it,"Z ' the Liv'f ?od, cb"rchV?Dtd LVhJ Vw?h fVA) h l" h?J bf n id; , iZ the tgf 1? one central eternal truism, that the triumvate God the Father, Jesus ,the Son, and the Holy Ghost, are the 1 creators and rulers of the universe. ; Then He charged them that they should tell no man that He was the f . , , , , T , f Christ." The reason being that He desired to give instruction to the dici ples in the very essense of life. For had the world realized the entire truth, that Christ was Indeed the Son of the living God, they would have been even more desirous of making 'Him their literal king. This restric i tion of the making known that He was indeed the Christ, was to contin- ' ue until the plan of the Father had .been fulfilled, that the Christ should .'suffer and be crucified and raised again from the dead. Then did He begin to show to the little band of disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and there be reject- de by the elders, be crucified and (after three days rise again from the Idead, that He would be the first fruits I of them that slept. He was the one who was to burst open the grave and make the way for the "Whosoever will may ccme and partake of the waters of life freely." Here comes a characteristic of Peter, who took the Master and said unto Kim, this shall never come to you. You are the Christ, the Son of ,God, and no man can kill you. Peter not descerning that it was the plan of the Father that the Son should redeem the world by giving His life for the sins of the world, for those who lived at that time, those who had lived before and for the acording of salvation to every one who shall live on the earth un til the last man. when the world shall be destroyed. This opportunity is open to all. As Christ said unto Martha, "I am the resurrection and the life, whosoever liveth and be lieveth on me shall never die." Christ said unto Peter, "Thou art a stumb ling block to Me, thou reasoclst of the things in the view of man, not of God." Then He said unto the en tire band of disciples, if any man would come after me, that is if any one would be a follower of Me, be what is a trite Christian, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. He said this signify ing that He was to carry the cross to the place of execution, but not this alone, but that while the things which were placed on Him t di azi bear, while disagreeable and hard he was to do them, then He prayed in the garden. If it be possible let this cup pass, that I may not drink it. but not My will, but Thine be clone." This Christ meant was to be the lot of His disciples, for all on account of the disobedience of Adam all must die, and that as Christ did, all must die. and He was raised from the dead, all who believe in Him fhall in like be raised also from the dead. Simon's Name Changed to Peter i It was the practice to change ones name at any great event, and as Peter had declared this great truth ( his name was changed from Simon to. Peter. Many people become Christ ians when they are converted and of a truth they are Christians. But also many assume tl'3t they are Christians when they do not do the works meet t for repentance, as John the Baptist said. "When they go under the mask; of the cloak of Christianity they are imposters unless they do the things which Christ has commanded them'j If you claim to be a Christian, be one . in spirit and in truth, do and live the Christian life or do not profess! to be a Christian, and at the same time be a hypocrite.
