PETIR'S LIFE AND WORK TO BE REVIEWED Sunday Schools to Study Lessons of the Past Quarter. / The international uniform Sunday school lesson for June 26: Peter’s life and work. A review of the quarter’s lessons.—l Peter , 5:1-11. BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D., Editor of The Congregationalist Peter, from almost every point of view, is a figure of unfailing interest. As a man one is attracted to him because of his impetuous and passionate ways. He was a leader of men, fearless and foremost, always equal to every emergency but not always quite achieving the part that A ’ie attempted so that the periods of 'assion and impetuosity were close’f'ly related to periods of discoiyage- ' *\pient and failure. Jesus understood Peter a greatdeal better than he understood himself. Jesus knew his strength, but he knew also Peter’s great weakness even where Peter was hardly* conscious of his own shortcomings. It was the saving of Peter tha‘t Jesus understood him and that Jesus loved him and was patient with him. As a Christian Peter is fully interesting as in his basal human character. Even when his life had become sanctified by Christian faith and purpose, he revealed still something of these strange and contradictory elements. His old prejudices died hard. In the vision <sn the housetop he reminds God that he has' never eaten anything common or unclean, and in his wakening hours he needs the distinct rebuke and inspiration of the vision to induce him to be Christlike and brotherly toward Gentile converts to the Christian way. His impulsive strength made him a power on the day of Pentecost as his preaching convinced men and women and brought_many into the Christian Church. But, apparently, Peter was more successful as an evangelist than as a great upbuilder of converts into\ their new-found faith. Paul was. apparently, much more successful in the needed task of Christian education. The story of Peter is the story of the triumph of the, Gospel, is" a great and conspicuous case

study in what the love of Christ can do.for the transformation of a man’s character when he lays hold of Christ and Christ lays hold of him. The message of the life of Peter is one that appeals to the average man, for in what befell Peter every man can find hope of a better life. N The lessqps that we have been studying have been full of human quality. They mark the stages of Christian progress in human life, and they symbolize the story of the church’s beginning and progress in the world. (Copyright, 1927, NEA Service, Inc.)
