Notes.—V. 07. Spit in his face, showing
the highest contempt aud insult, Numbers
xii, 14; Job xxx, 10. Buffeted, striking with
closed hands or with the fists. V. 68. Luke
(xxii, 64) and Mark (xiv,6s) tell us that they
blindfolded him before saying these words.
V. 69. Without, in the outer court or space,
where the servants gathered. Damsel, a
portress who kept the door, John
V. 71. Porch, the small apartment between
the outer door and the largo hall in the cen
ter of the building. V. 73. After a while,
about an hour later, Luke xxii, 59. Speech
bewrayctli, his Galilean accent showed it.
V. 74. Began he to curse and swear, losing
all control of himself ho went on to worse
sins. V. 75. Thrice, three times. Luke xxii,
61 tells us Jesus looked on him. "Wept bit
terly, the tiiought of deep guilt swept over
Peter’s soul and he went out into the darkness
to repent of his sins.
Few events in the Biblo aro so full of hu
man nature and djvino grace, of warning
and comfort, as tho fall and restoration of
Peter. The nearest parallel case in the Bible
is tho great sin and ref>entance of David.
After the preliminary trial before tho high
priest had taken place many of the member;
of tho Jewish sanhedrim assembled in the
council hall. They know Jesus was to be
arrested, and hence were ready. Perhaps
such memir*is as Nicodemus and Joseph of
Aramatbca were absent. Tho sanhedrim
had authority to try those charged with cap
ital offenses, but could not execute the sen
tence of death. In this midnight trial of
Jesus every rule of Jewish law seems to have
been violated in the haste and eagerness to
condemn him. A night trial was not legal.
To bo bound as a malefactor before ho was
arraigned, to be beaten before a verdict was
• rendered, to be struck in open court whih’
the trial was going on, were all in violation
of every sense of right and justice. The ir
regular and illegal trial of him by night was
sul-pended until daybreak so that they could
then secure from Pilate the sentence of l»is
death, hi tho time elapsing till dayligh:
occurred tho maltreatment by his lawless
enemies mid the denial by Peter.
V. 67. After the sanhedrim had pro
nounced him “guilty of death” ho was sub
jected to a series of indignities. Before the
trial in the house of Annas ho was struck by
one of the oilicers. Doubtless others in au
thority offered him insults. The common
guard soon followed in jeer and mockery.
The abusive insults of the underlings was the
natural seqr.pnce of t he more formal mockery
ol their superiors. Let it not surprise us if.
is followers of Jesus, we too receive insults.
V. <. < As: i tl? y I’.a l blindfolded him
scoffe-l at liis prophetic of!ice as '1 os
dah. Jesus uswervd not a word, though all
the uiiiv.'-rsc ’-•as at his command. No a t i.-»
•• contx •:>; as to iidicule g< I i ■ ous
or holy t! . ; s. And yet when we aro
■: • i- b<St.
V. 69. l i t : was now inside tho court yard
of the palm e of Caiaphas. Ho had gained
admittance through John, who was known
at the palaeo. With the servants ho was
sitting around tho fire, for tho night was
cold. A portress looking upon Peter said
that ho was with Jesus. This drew upon
him tho eyes of all about. An obscure ser
vant become; now tho innocent occasion of
t ho downlmi of tho chief of the apostles.
V’. 70. In the most cowardly fashion ho re
sorts to ova*•:<);>, which always leads Eo direct
falsehood m. 1 often perjury.
V. 71. Pei haps wishing to escape tho fur
ther observation of the servants, he went
into the vest ;bulo or porch leading into the
street, when another female slave in ridicule
accused him of being with .Jesus. Perhaps
several at the time confirmed her statement.
Christians cannot long bo hid when among
men of the world.
V. 72. Now ho boldly denies his Master,
and the long east off habit of swearing conies
back to him in tho moment of excitement.
He told an w.’dashing, positive lie, when he
said that 1:<- Enow not Christ, aud then tritd
to confirm D:; falsehood withan oath. Sin
grows when it is not cheeked. Tho disciple
first aud huMest to profess his Lord, now
vehemently denies him! Times cf fanatical
defense < i t!;.-faith aro often followed Ly
base denial.
V. 73. Tie? men who stood by must have
hud a cont- ■ mt for Peter’s perfidy.
V. 74. liTT’ -.ted beyond endurance, with a
positive wi’. ; . -s against him, I’etvr now re
sorted to o iling down curses on himself,
that what 1; said was true, affirming before
Genl what I: knew to bo false. How the sins
of his f .rm .• life camo again to the surface!
There is tench hidden and remaining sin in
tho best Cm istian.
Wbeu thj cock crew Peter remembered
what Je us Lad said. And it was now that
Jesus turned and looked upon Peter. It was
tho look of wounded love. History bears to
us tho tradition that ever after when I‘eter '
hoard tho (-. owing of a cock he foil on his
face and meurned over his base denial of his
Lord.
zYt about 2 o’clock in the morning, when
lys , ast denial occurred, Peter hurried out 1
into the dark, and gave way to deep sorrow
for his sms. He not only wept, but wept bit
terly. \v'e must not only notice Peter’s sins,
but his Emco.-j tears of repentance. The re
morso of Judas made him rush out and hang
himself. Ti e repentance of Peter made him
turn to God with tears and cries. The re
membrance of his great sin ever after hum
bled his ’•re.:; ! and self confident spirit. His
repentance w.is complete.
Notice the causes of I’eter’s sim a. 110
followed Je.-r.s afar off. Had he kept nearer
to Jesus he would have been safer, b. He
got separated from the other disciples. Had
they kept < loser together they all would have
been stronger, c. He underrated and neg
lected the warnings of Jesus. He was ap
prised of coining danger, cl. He did not be
lieve the word of the Lord. Ho had too much
confidence in his own strength, e. He, with
presumption, rushed where danger was. f.
He neglected to exercise that watchfulness and
prayer Jesus had enjoined, g. He failed to
comprehend the teaching which tho Lord
had repeatedly given of the necessity of bis
sufferings and death. He clung to the Jewish
notion that Christ would establish an earthly I
kingdom, h. His piety was controlled more
by feeling than principle. In tho hour of
sore temptation we must be grounded on the
grand doctrines of grace, otherwise we will
fall. Notice the lessons from Peter’s sin. a.
The danger of self confidence, see Golden
Text. True confidence relies on God, not on
self, for strength, b. The lughest favors and
blessings do not exempt us from the danger
of falling into sin. Though greatly favored,
Peter Sinned, c. It is a bad sign to conceal
our discipleship. Tho next thing is denial
of Christ, d. Tho best of men sju—none are
perfect,
*SAVM . ILL HOJ rauaOS'dilS'
Visit to Armuchee Valley.
By 11 o’clock, April 28th, our
party reached Shiloh church just in
time to hear Dr. Graves greet his •
brethren. He thanked them for
■ their kind invitation to visit thftt
; lovely valley and assured them that
i it afforded him much pleasure to
meet with churches anywhere and I
I talk with them about the “great
i fundamental Bible truth, salvation
; by grace through Jesus Christ.”
I It is impossible now to write,
from memory, of all the points he
I presented; but among other things
. he spoke first of the design and
nature of salvation; 2. How to ob
tain it; 3. Is it a present salva
tion, and can we lose it. lie con
trasted salvation with probation.
His argument on this line was clear
: and forcible, comprehending the
. atoning work of Christ for His
people, who are justified through
him, (justification the opposite of
condemnation) redeemed from the
law by His blood, and sanctified,
set apart from the world, to love
and serve Hirn as their Savior and
King.
4. As heirs of God and joint heirs
with Jesus Christ, how should we
value our salvation?
5. Evidences of salvation: ob
servance of the commandments of
our King, good works, etc.
(5. The church: “The ecclesia”
of Christ; a single congregation,
independant of all other bodies,
therefore alone, authorized to elect,
ordain, choose and dismiss her own
officers, receive and discipline her
own members, and administer her
own ordinances. In this connection
he stased that the church and her
ordinances belonged to the saved
alone, and that a strict adherence
to this doctrine had served to dis
tinguish Baptists from all other
Christian churches for many cen
turies. “We must havra professed
ly regenerate membership; place
Christ before church, and blood
before water,”
7. The ordinances, not sacra
ments,* whereby salvation is secured,
but baptism, an act by which we
profess the saving faith we possess,
and in which we symbolize the
death, burial and resurrection of
Christ. The supper, not a denom
inational or social ordinance; but
a commemorative ordinance, insti
tuted by Christ, to be observed in
each local church until he comes
again. “A church cannot extend
her privileges or discipline beyond
her organization, without being in
consistant.”
8. The relation of Christ’s church
es to His kingdom; illustrated by
comparing churches to Provinces
constituting a kingdom. Dr. Graves
thinks a most important work for
the chureb.es is “to guard the purity
of the ordinances that a pure faith
and pure practice may be conserv
ed.” He says line church houses
are monuments of our pride rather
than our piety: and while the apos
tles lived, only the. plainest of
houses were provided for public
worship. He called for old songs
and they sang “All hail the power
of Jesus name,” and “How firm ::
foundation ye saints of the Lord,”
while tears filled the eyes of the
old battle scarred soldiers of the
cross. The brethren took a hat
collection, amounting to $42. Dr.
Graves is educating six young min
isters. Ail money contributed at
these meetings, except his traveling I
expenses, is appropriated for this
purpose.
Our visit to Armuchee was very
pleasant as well as profitable. We
were most royally entertained at;
the Suttle homestead, where the
best of every good thing may be |
found in the very best order. This |
happy home is just simply perfect
as earthly blessings can make it.
Nature has done much to make
this place lovely, and what nature
failed to do, has heen accomplished
jby the emrgy, industry and fault
| less taste of the Suttle family.
The people generally, of Armu
l chee vallev, arc said to be noted for
j tneir hospitality and appreciation
of good things. This was proven 1
by the excellent- dinners spread for :
the immen- ■ congregations during'-
the series of sermons.

A NERVY EDITOR.
Determined that His Existence
Shall not be Ignored.
From the Arizona Kicker.
There is no use of attempting to
disguise the fact that certain rings
and factions in this gulch have for
the last three months made desper
ate efforts to ignore the existence
of the Kicker. Having failed to
frighten or bribe us, ostracism was
their little game. They determined
to freeze us out. We first became
aware of this movement three
months ago, when Mrs. Judge Gil
dersleeve gave her blowout. At
that time we received the following
card:
AU gentleman attending this rceep- :
tion will be expected to wear
a white shirt. : -
The inference was as plain as the
pimples on Mrs. Gildersleeve’s nose.
They thought we hadn’t a white
shirt. They thought we’d attend
with an army blanket thrown care
lessly over our shoulders. The ob
ject was to let us know that Mrs
Gildersleeve didn’t look upon us as
knowing what belonged to manners.
It was all right. We didn’t go. As
to whether the Gildersleeve ring
came out ahead opinions differ.
Our account of the party, headed
“Gathering of the Vultures,” is
still going the rounds of the press.
In that article we proved Judge
Gildersleeve to be an embezzler and
a horse thief, and we adduced posi
tive proof that Mrs. Judge was a
broken-down and played-out for
tune-teller, who had been compelled
to skip from St. Louis. The Judge
called at the Kicker office next day
with a shot-gun, but when we
brought out more letters—proofs
that he had served time in three
prisons and that Mrs. Judge still
had the work-house cut on her hair
when she arrived in Arizona—the
Judge did not shoot.
The Jackass Hill set next tried
to make us sing small. They got
mad because we wern’t puffing them
in every issue. Colonel Decker had
two shillings worth of repairs made
to his mule harness, and the Kicker
didn’t notice it. Mrs. Professor
Frothingham turned an old silk
dress top to bottom, and the Kicker
didn’t come out with a notice that
she had received a five hundred
dollar dress from Worth. Major
Ilornblower put a porcelain door
knob on the front door of his abode
and the Kicker didn’t come out and
list it as one of the enterprises
bound to bring in new settlers and
boom real estate. It was therefore,
determined to down ns. Lily De
Lisle, the red-headed daughter of
the one-legged county clerk made
her debut, and we were not invited
to the blowout. It was an action
intended to break our heart, and we
promptly countered. It was on our
trip that the sheriff went up about
ten o’clock that evening and gath
ered in two bigamists from New
England, an embezzler from Ohio
and a fugitive from Chicago, all of
whom wore looked upon as thf
cream of society and were airing
their frills and scallops at the
great debut.
We are here to stay. We put up
our shanty with our own hands. We
' ::ird ami lodge ourselves, and we
k.ivo not only got the cost of living
ylown fine, but are getting our
•inner so cheap that we can
make money with a list of thirty
subscribers and three pages of dead
“ads.” We are going to run the
Kicker after our own style, whether
it suits the big bugs of Jackass
Hill or the half-starved coyotes of
Poverty Hollow. While we don’t
banker after invitations to euchre
parties and church socials, we don’t
propose to take a snub from any
set. While we are willing to boom
the town, we don't propose to sit up
nights to let the outside world
■ know that some citizen has added a
i I .nth tub to his dugout, or that
■ ooie merchant has just received a
fres.li wad of bedticking.
There have beeu hints thrown
out by the court house ring that we
are to be starved out. Try it on,
gentlemen 1 We are now sls ahead
of the game, have paper enough on
hand for ten weeks, and our living
: expenses last week footed up only
j sixty-seven cents. We came to stick.
