SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC~Th« Messiahihip of JenuM. The time has now come for the King to take account of his ministry. This confession in some sense marks the turning point in Christ’s ministry. Hereafter it Is more restricted to his disciples. Two reasons are sufficient why this should be (vv. 1-12): (1) Ihe Pharisees and Sadducees show their attitude towards him In their demand for a sign. His HfIMWAF i« thst none shall be given save that of his death and resurrection, us symbolized in the experiences of the Prophet .Jonah. (2) The disciples show their inability to understand the spiritual nature of his teaching. When he warned them of the leaven of the hartsees and Sadducees they understood him to refer to bread, when he meant their doctrine. It was at this crisis when Christ turned from the nation which had rejected him, that I eter made this great confession. It win nutile In the borders of ('aesnreaPhilippl. practically yentile territory. I. Pater’g Confession (vv. 13-16). iwo Questions of Christ provoked this confession: 1. The question as to the opinion of the people concerning liiin. They recognized him as a teacher or n prophet of more than human authority and power. Today, ns then, there Is n diversity of opinion among the people as to Jesus Christ. Some think he Is only n man; others, that he is a grant teacher, hut nothing more. Had he been cement with this he would not have been molested in Jerusalem, 'for the Jews willingly acknowledged Juui an more than a human teacher, it v is his persistent claim to be the God man. the Son of God, that sect him tn the cross.

2. The second question involved rhe personal opinion of the disciples concerning him. To be able to tell what others think of Jesus is not enough ; there must be definite, correct, and personal belief In him. 11. The New Body, the Church, Announced (vv. 17-20). Peter had made a noble confession of Christ, so now Christ confesses him. If we confess Christ he will confess us (Matt. 10:32, 33). Christ declared his intention of bringing into existence a new body to the members of which he will give eternal life, and to whose hands he will entrust the keys of the Kingdom. Peter was to have a distinguished place in this body. The keys entrusted to him were used on the day of Pentecost, and again in the case of Cornelius. Association in this new body cannot be broken by death, for the gates of hades shall not prevail against it. This body, the church, is of u heavenly origin, u heavenly culling, and a heavenly inheritance. 111. The Cross th* Way to the Throne (vv. 21-33). This was, m> doubt, startling to the disciples. They did not realize that redemption was to be aecompllslietl thr/mgh the passion of the cross. .So unwelcome was this announcement that Peter cried. ‘’This shall not he unto thee." Peter later saw through this darkness to the glory on the hilltop beyond. A new hope then tilled his breast (1 Peter 1:3. 4) Victory through death Is yet the stumbling block of many. Mnnv are stumbling over the doctrine of salvation and redemption through the suffering of the cross. All sm-h are under the control of the devil (v. 23). Salvation by blood, the devil hates. IV. Th* Cost of Discipleship (vv 2427). To follow Christ means suffering. To follow him Is to turn one’s back upon tlie world. Life cun only be saved by losing it. If we are going Io lie Christians we must share Christ’s suffering. We cannot go to heaven on flowery beds of ease. 1. There must he denial of self (v. 24). There is H wide difference between self-denial and denial of self. Self-denial is practiced everywhere by all people, but only the disciples of Christ <>r Christian people deny self Christ takes tfle place of self. 2. “Take up his cross.” This cross Is the suffering anil shame which lie in the path of loyalty to God. To-do our duty will mean suffering (2 T’,n 3:12). .3. Follow "Christ. Thia means to have the mind of Christ, to fio like Christ. All ’urn shall be rewarded when Christ comes in glory.

I know didn’t feel like tackling his grouchy neighbor for a V M C A subscription, but he did it and the man responded in such away that the solicitor was ashamed he had ’not fait like’ going. We all know that if we ever get anywhere in this life, we have to do a great many things we do not fee! like doing. • • And when we come to our religious lives we feel that our ‘filings' are too often our mast.r. and our enemies. We don’t feel like going to church. We don’t feel like going to prayer meeting. We don’t feel like helping with the choir, or with the social, or with anything We never feei like speaking to others about pi tting their lives within God’s great plan of salvation, we never feel like calling for the sake of the church, we never ‘feel like’ the church of Christ is reallv our church, too. 7 And so it goes. Our Master’s woik suffers because we don't feel like doing His work. Let us face two questions: (1) Will we feel any better if wc do not do the things which otherwise ao undone? (2) What has made us so tired that we have no Strength or interest for His work?”

PROTECT CHINA AND JAPAN Since constitutional prohibition for our own country is now an a>.sured fact, it becomes us as a na tion and as churches to turn our attention to the protection of helpless heathen nations abroad The Chinese have no jutisdic tion over Americans settling in China because of extra territorial laws and hence are comparative ly helpless to deal with the pro jetted invasion of the German American brewers. Bui these :-...rr,-extra-territorial laws give to oui government at Washington th powers that are lacking in Pekin * hlna. and those should be used mercilessly, to nip in the'bucl tin ugly plan of br:iw>»rdom.
