it was crowded to the doors last
year when the President delivered
the welcoming address, it seems
safe to predict an even larger at

~ House Clerk McDowell will have
‘the interesting privilege early in
December of being the first to scan
the figures of money spent in the
congressional election by the cam
paign committees, the names of
contributors, the amounts they gave
and for what purpose the funds
were expended. It will be the first
event in the operation of the new
so-called “Campaign Publicity Act.”
In view of the character of the
statute and the fact that the penal
ty for its violation is a fine of $l,OOO
imprisonment for one year, either or
both, it is believed that less money
was used in the recent campaign
than for many past years.

THE INTERNATIQNAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON.
Fourth Quarter Lesson X, Matthew XXVI, 21-35, 59-75
DECEMBER 4, 1910.
PETER’S DENIAL
After his agony Jesus said to his
drowsy companions “Sleep on now!"
It was not ironical, although with
almost the same breath he said
“Rise let us be going!” At that in
stant he probably saw the lights and
heard the footfalls of the band com
ing to arrest him. When he spoke
of going it was not in the sense of
flight. On the contary it meant an
advance. to meet his enemies and!
surrender his person to them. His
hour was come. Of that he was
fully conscious and his bearing from
this moment to the one when on
the cross he commits his spirit to]|
his Father is that of admirable com- |
posure. The traitorous kiss of Ju-!
das is the most desplicable incident |
in the odious history of treason.|
Special pleaders have risen from |
time to time to explain and palliate
the crime but the consensus is un
animous that the deed is the super
lative degree of treachery. Jesus’
protest against the clandestine andl
cowardly manner of his arrest may
have cut to the quick some of the
lost callous hearts in that motly
crowd. The rash and futile deed of
Peter and the instant reparation of
it by Jesus is characteristic of each.
Now the hands that never were
outstreched except in benedictionl
are bound behind the back that is|
so soon to bear the cross and the’
‘carrying of Innocence to the bar of
Guilt begins. Who is this that fol
j'}ows, at a distance, hugging the
shadows at the side of the road,
face as pale as death and limbs
‘quaking beneath him in fear? It is
Peter, the boaster trying to fulfill
his vain glorious protestation, “Tho’ |
all forsake ill not!” It is past mid
night but the devotees of an impe
rial ecclesiasticism are alert, with
murderous jealousy they anticipate
the delivery into their hands of one
for whom they have just paid a
goedly price one who must be im
mediately put to death or their
powers, honors and emoluments be
forfeit. Rich old Annas and Caia+
phas, his son-in-law and acting high
priest are on the alert to make a|
success of the doing away with this
troublesome reformer. When thel
preliminary trial of Jesus was in!
COTTON 15¢
Per Pound
' progress before the tottering old do
ltard, Annas, who really had no ju
risdiction in eye of Rome, Peter,
rstill hugging the shadows was
| challenged by a chambermaid and
' made his first denial. To the second
I palace scullion who interviewed him
he tried to bolster up his denial
‘with an oath. The third time he
‘was taxed with being a Nazarine,
ina riot of fear, he filled the air
with a flood of profane oaths. Then
it was that the chanticleers’ note
sounded like an alarm clock of the
soul and simultaneously Jesus led
out of the palace looked over his
shoulder at Peter. For the first time
the apostle irrational with fear,
thought and then he wept. That
moment he suffered the change
which made him the dauntless
hero of the faith and finally the ho-
Iy martyr.
The Teachers Lantern.
Of all historical characters none
ever had followers more unfaithful
than Jesus; all laggards in under
standing him; slept while he suffer
ed; one denied him, one doubted,
one betrayed and in his extremity
all forsook him and fled. Peters’
denial is all the more odious because
it has for a backgound vain glorious
protestation of constancy. The sec
ret to his shameful lapse is found in
a remark incidental to the narrative,
“But Peter followed him afar off!”
His skulking in the shade and rear
was the begining of it. His place
was not in court High Priests palace
with maids and scullions. That
was really place of extremest dan
ger. Trying to save his life there
was the means of his losing what
was of more value, namely moral
integrity. Before crimination of Je
sus’ early disciples is indulged in,
however, it might be well to ask
whether ' considering their higher
advantages,disciples of todzy are on
the whole more faithful. Whether
also the faults of early followers are
are not typical of present-day fail
ings. See here the advantages of
religion meditation. It is signifi
cantly said that when Peter thought
thereon he wept. Had he not
thought he would not have wept.
No thoughts, no tears! Going into
the court yard he sat down on the
ground and throwing his 'mantle
over his head he extemporized a
little oratory where he was alone
with God and his own soul, he
thought and wept and prayed. When
at length he threw back his mantle
he was a new man, of such stuff as
martyrs are made of.
