GOLDEN TEXT—Wherefore let Firn that thlnkrth he etandeth take heed le»t he full. I Cor-lnthlann 10:12. PRIMARY TOPIC—When Peter Did Wronn and Was Sorry. JI’NIOIt TOPIC—When Peter Failed. INTERMEDIATE and senior TOPlC—lie Prepared to Meet Temptation. YOVNO PEOPLE AND ADt’t.T TOPIC—How Jeans Is Denied Today. A bettor Statement of the «nh|ect would be “Peter’s Downfall.’’ From the height of fellowship with God which Peter enjoyed when he c. n fessed thnt .Testis was the Messiah In Matthew in. to the depth of em plmsizlng a lie by means of foul oaths Is a long way, hut the steps were quickly taken, for the time was short. The presentation of this lesson should he done In such n way as to be a solemn warning to Christians today. In order that we may be saved from such a fall, let us study carefully the steps In Peter's backsliding. I. —Over-weening Self-Confidence (vv 20-31). Jeans had Issued a solemn warning. even a prophecy, of the backsliding of all the disciples. Peter's unwillingness to face the cross alienated him from Jesus, and when apprised of the fact that the disciples would all forsake Jesus. Peter declared thnt Jesus wns mistaken. saying. “Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.” Our condition is most perilous when we are most sure of our safety. 11. Sleeping at the Post of Duty (vv. 32-37). Peter and twn others were privileged to lie near to Jesus In the hour of his anguish. The favored three were commanded to watch, but In one short hour the very one w ho was so confident of his self-suffi-ciency had fallen asleep instead of watching. The only, way to escape from backsliding Is to watch. The one who overrates himself underrates the power of the devil. HI. Neglect of Prayer (vv. 39). The legitimate Inference from the T.ord's words. “Watch and pray,” is that he had commanded them to pray as well as to watch. The reason there is so little prayer on the part of Christians Is due to the fact that there Is a lack of the sense of need of God's help. IV. Service In the Energy of the Flesh (v. 47). When they came to arrest Jesus. Peter took a sword and cut off nn ear of the servant of the high priest (John 18:10). He was zealous for the laird, but it was zeal without knowledge. Even In his outward zeal for his Lord he made a bungling Job. If he had been in downright earnest he would have cut off the man's head Instead of his ear. This Is characteristic of much of the service rendered today i.y Christians. V. Following Jesus Afar Off (v. 54). Christ's rebuke for taking the sword and the awkward position In which Poter's act had placed him caused him to follow Jesus afar off. This rebuke widened the breach tietween Peter and his Lord. Following Jesus afar off got hltn into further trouble. VI. Seeking Comfort Among the Lord’s Enemies (v. 07). This fire was built by those who had come unsympathetically to witness the crucifixion and even to mm-k In this tragic hour. For Christ's disciples to warm themselves at the enemies’ tire, to get comfort from the things prepared for the satisfaction of his enemies Is sinful. Peter not only tried to get comfort by using that which the enemy had prepared for themselves, but he engaged in conversation with the enemy and they that stood by declared that his speech betrayed him. Multitudes of professing Christians have grown cold while sitting around the enemies’ fire. It would be Infinitely better to freeze to death In Gethsemane than to keep warm around the enemies fire. VII. Open Denial (vv. 68-72). Step by step Peter went downward until the words of a servant girl provoked open and blasphemous denial. Peter's trouble began when he shrank from the cross. It was that shrinking which separates him from contact with his Lord. Only the one who has been In touch with the Lord can backslide. Many of the so-called backsliders have never been born again; they have simply returned to their own way. Faithful Friend Jesus was a faithful friend. His loyalty to those whom be loved never wavered. They might reject, spurn and betray him. but he was a friend who loved at all times. May we meditate long upon this example! Our friendships, which are God’s best gifts to us, outside of his own love, would he more noble and strong and helpful if we could learn Christ's lesson of loyalty.

BOOK NOTES I By Ruth Winnes (Editor's note. Thia is another of a series of articles which will be prepared each week hy Miss Ruth Winnes, city librarian. The articles will deu) with new books ijust received at the Decatur Public Library.) "Wo shall light for the things we have always carried nearest our hearts-for democracy—for the right of those who sutbmlt to authority to have a voice in their government." These Immortal words spoken by Woodrow Wilson on April 2nd. 1917, sent us into war. For eighteen months every activity of the nation was directed towards the single goaI—VICTORY. Four million men offered their bodies as sacrifices to this ideal. Other millions offered their time, their energies, and their fortunes for the one purpose. Mothers gave their sons, children gave their fathers, "that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth." The book "Forward March" is a graphic account ot these deeds and events illustrated by photographs taken on the battle field. The passing years have blurred the outline of memory for many who took part in these stirring scenes. To all such this book will be a welcome momenta —a souvenir of the fact that they had a part in the greatest event in the! history of man. For those who were unable to take an active part this photographic record will bring !a clearer perception, an undistortled understanding of the events of (1917-1918 and their aftermath. To; 'future generations it will show, what their fathers and mothers did f to preserve for them their right to | freedom and the pursuit of happi-j ness. I The detail and composition of| many of these pictures represent I the height of achievement in the art of photography. It is not surprising that a few are totally lack-1 ing in the qualities that go to make I a good picture. With shells explod-' ing overhead and bullets whistling I the photographers could not stop' 'to adjust the focus or time the ex-1 I posure. If it is true that, "one picture is worth a hundred printed pages" this work will be an invalnaible contribution to history. It is our purpose to show- the war as we knew it—the horror and tragedy faithfully as they occurred, but also the sentiment, the comedy, and the pathos that were all a part of the “great adventure." Every fine: distinction has been observed in the selections. Only an occasional photograph recalls the horror of the field ot battle. We are now far enough removed from the conflict to get a clear perspective. We know that the World War 'began long before 1914—we are not sure that it is now ended. The scenes depicted here are but the genesie of the event s we are living today. Communism, Fascism, Hitlerism, broken bodies, foundered institutions, lost souls are only the aftermath of this trial by the sword. The purpose of the publication | of FORWARD-MARCH! is threefold: to preserve intact in prose and picture, the important events of the greatest cataclysm in the history of man; to form a backgroumi of understanding for the trend of events today; and to combat the subversive doctrines ot Communism and other insidious foreign propaganda, by instilling in , the mind of our youth, ideals of patriotism and love of free democracy for which our comrades fought and died. It is only right that those who bear the visible and invisible scars of the conflict against the enemy from without, should now lead the battle against the dangers from within. Attention!

Moral Collapse Menaces i Even The Strongest Men In The Story Os Peter’s Denial Is Mirrored The Tragedy Os Manv Lives—How The Fisherman, In Times Os Testing, Reverted lo Ihe Bad Old Ways—Digging Up The Site.

By WILLIAM T. ELIAS There is one spot in modern Jerusalem to which, because somewhat inconveniently situated, tourists are seldom taken, although it Is the traditional scene of an outstanding event in Scripture. This is the nite of the Palace of Caiaphas, outside of the present wall of the city, on the south side, midway between Mt. Ophel and Mt. Zion. The Assumptionlst Fathers have | JPPn excavating and building there, and perhaps by this time theii new church is completed. Some day pilgrims will beat a path to this spot; for it is eloquent of the high drama of the trial of Jesus and of the denial by Peter. Spirits that have known the anguish of defeat within themselves will want to tarry here to muse upon human frailty und Divine mercy. Every Man’s Story One of the awesome truths about human nature is that the strongest and saintliest souls have ever in them the possibility of a moral and spiritual collapse. The • wild beasts in every man’s breast ! are forever tugging at their chains, [and sometimes, in the most unex- | pected hour, they break loose. The , best of us has all the possibilities of the worst, it was no idle remark of John Newman, who said, as he saw a criminal hanging outside of Newgate Prison, "There, but for the Grace of God. hangs John Newman." Glib parroters of texs will condemn Peter roundly for his repudiation of his Lord. But all who have looked deeply into life, and into their own hearts, will go softly, as they consider this theme. Every ' one of us is a potential Simon Peter. Frequently, the newspapers report the moral collapse of good men, even of ministers of the Gospel. Honest and humble readers ■ Isay to themselves, “kt might have been I.” In the presence of anoth- . er's sin. it behooves us to walk . humbly. The Strong Man’s Fall I had certain responsibilities in connection with the stupendous International Christian Endeavor convention in Boston, many years ago, and there came to me officially a story of gross immorality upon the part of two delegates, one of them a clergyman. Even after that ses- . sion of wonderful spiritual exaltation. moral disaster befell. It recalled Peter's case. For his denial followed hard on the heels of the Last Supper; and of his drawing a sword and cutting off the ear of Malchus in the garden. And the echo of his impetuous words had scarcely died. "I will lay down my life for Thee;” and "If all shall be offended in Thee. I will never offend Thee.” Pity Peter, who, when he thought he was strongest, proved weakest. And he had been warned. Jesus had checked his too-ardent words ' of loyalty with the reminder that '' ere the cock crowed twice, Peter would deny Him thrice. Such a thing was incredible to the doughty fisherman. True; after the arrest of Jesus in the garden, Peter fled with the others. Their world was toppling about their ears. Ot the eleven, at least two, John and Peter, kept the Captive in sight. They followed, afar off, the noisy procession of captors to the place of Caiaplias, where John knew some body, so that he was admitted inside. Peter stood at the gate, but John spoke for him and he, too, was let in. They could not keep away from the Leader whom they had followed for three wonderful years. At The Wrong Fi r es Once inside the gate, Peter seems to have ventured farther than John. It was ever so. He penetrated even to the group of soldiers and haners-on who were gathered about a wood fire in the( courtyard. Thus Peter was warming himself at the wrong fire, stand ing with his Master’s enemies. Bad company is the first step to many a life’s breakdown. And there was a chill at Peter’s heart which no Roman or Jewish ♦ * * » * * » ***»*»» * The International Sunday School Lesson for January 27 is: “Peter's Denial.”—Mark 14: 12-72. »»»»»»*

fire could warm.. He knew himself , a renegade. Tumult and fear filled , his breast. There was none of the i usual braggart left in him. Some- I where between the slope of Olivet i and the palace of Caiaphas on the | southern side of the city, his vaunt- ; ( ed courage and self-confidence hud ' seeped out of him. Now he was on- | • ly a scared and panicky man. try-; ing to warm himself in the midst ' of his Master's foes. , Even a servant inaid had power i to frighten him. When one accused him of belonging to the followers . of Jesus, he denied it. Again anoth- ' er maid flippantly accosted him and he more strongly denied, 'nd when others pointed out that his speech I betrayed him as a Galilean, Peter l liegan to curse and swear, as h»,* used to do on the lake when the, net broke. This time his denials i were accepted, for even the sold- , iers knew that friends of Jesus were not ot this stripe. > Memory And Remorse ■ There is a bitter tomorrow’ for j i every day of sinning. In Peter’s ‘! case memory and remorse mounted I I : his shoulders immediately. No , •'sooner was his outburst of profan- I ■ I ity and black denial of his Lord '( ended thin the cock crew! Even so 1 Jesus had predicted. Instantly, the ' 1 renegrade saw himself in all his ‘ hideousness, lie turned and fled in- | ■ to the night, weeping bitterly . 1 Ere he left, he suffered the worst i ' sorrow of all. For Jesus turned 1 and looked at him—a look so tend ! • er. so reproachful, so understand- ' ing that it fairly broke Peter’s heart. | ' In that one glance was gathered I 1 up all the meuningfulnesa of his ( • years of discipleship; all his own ■ boastful professions; all the warn- j 1 ings and commendations of his ; 1 Master. Rome had no scourges j ' that could sear him as did that ' single look from the Lord he lov- ’ ed. The blackness of the night into which he fled was not half so I dark as the gloom within his own ' : t soul. Every person who has felt I > the lashings of remorse will under- : stand and pity Peter. As Peter Told It Added significance is added to this Lesson by the fact that it is ' I Peter's ow n version we are studying. Mark get his Gospel from ' ( Peter, clearly, in the years that followed restoration, when he had i ! become the fearless apostle whose : ( boldness made men take knowledI ge of him. that he had been with , Jesus, Peter told, over and over ' | again, with self-accusation and ■ tears of penitence, me shameful ‘ tale of his denial of his Lord. Nev I er until the end of his life, did he ' ’ cease to taste the bitterness of II that cup of remorse. Wounds may • ■ heal, but scars remain. 1 It was as a fellow sinner that ■ Peter preached to men. He could I appeal to their experience in terms I of his own life. Can yon not imag- •! ine him. in his years of apostolic : ministry, reciting tlie story to the ' Church, with a sob in his throat. I I I as he said, “He looked at me!”? With aptness, the Lesson Com- J mltee puts the message of the day , • [ into the Golden Text: "Let him • that thinketh he standeth take heed I lest he fall.” Peter's pitfall lies bei fore the feet of even the most con- ■ . fident Christian. Disloyalty to J Christ, and denial of Him are dread possibilities awaiting every . disciple. So with humility and chart ity we would walk through life. , ' Peter came back. The road home ■ is never closed to the wanderer. ■ After Jesus hail risen He sent a I special message to Peter—" Tell My disciples, and Peter.” And later. by another wood fire, on the • shore of Gallilee, Peter was recommissioned, in a tender passage, to I ■ I "Feed My Sheep." Friends may go ■back on Jesus, but He never goes . back on them.
