Golden Text, I Cor. x, 12—Memorize Verses 73-75 —Comment by Bev. 11. S. llofTninn. [Condensed from Lesson Helper Quarterly, by permission of H. S. Hoffman, Philadelphia, pub. lisher.J 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. Capt. Ja-■•-.eon and a teacher: whose .name w have fmtten, sns ipeiidwi their school .'J--:, lay that I 1 all might attend the sen 1 • •• i Invitations from cliur hes all; over the south and west are going in continually to Dr. Graves to visit ; them. His time is engaged until I August, the month in which he was paralyzed. He says if he lives , through August, he may again visit North Georgia in the fall Observer.

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.
