BY REV. J. E. GILBERT, D. D. LL.D.,
Secretary of American Society of Religious Education.
INTRODUCTION'. The miracle of Jcsm in
ca.tinc a clfmcn out of the daughter of the
S rophrnlcian drew tofcllier a vast concourse of
people 60 that lie vvu coirpclleil to Icjvo the
country to ohtiln the nst which 1ml hecn
bought. J'asslne aioum the northern part of
Oalllcr, He came with the twelve to Decnpolis,
a province inhatntcd almest entirely lj (len
tiles This was cm tho cn-t of the sea of Gall
ic. Hero He cured the ilcaf statninercr and fed
four thousand with hev en loaves, an act similar
to that on the northeast coakt. Thence He
crossed to DalmMlj where He was met hy
enemies, who demanded a sign aa a proof of hia
atilhonr.v. Leaving this place He took a ship
for Ilethsalda, where He restored sight to a hlind
man Journeyim; northward, still sceMng se
clusion, Jesus came to Cacsarea 1'hilippl, at the
base of Mount llermon, the most northern point
reached during His ministry.
I'lUII.IC OPINION-. tn this quiet spot 120
miles distant from Jerusalem Jesus held an In
terview with His aroxtlrs He first inquired,
"Whom do men S3y that I, the Son of Man,
ami" During His ertlre ministry He had
sought to make Himself known, employing va
rious methods for the purpose Now He would
learn tho result of Ills effort, or, rather, as
111 knowledge on the subject wa. not limited
Oohn ii: 5) Ho desired His disciples to inform
Him "hat they had heard Ills motive will
presently appear. They replied tint some took
111m (or John the lliptlst, some for l.Ila, some
for Jerrmljs, or one of the other prophets,
each Judging by various chsractertistlrs of sup
posed resemblance Hire was the doctrine of
transmigration of souls not taught In Seripture,
but by Greek philoanpheia Probably the con
ference which Herod had with his courtiers
(Mark l 16), gave currenej to thee opinions
which showed what little profit the multitudes
had received from Christ's words and work.
1IOXKST l'.MTII This aisvver gave Jesus an
oppertunity to ask the apcstles for their opin
ion This was cry drlieato business. A free
expression from associates Is not always de
sirable In this ae It was ncccesar) Jesus
waa educating twelve men to carry on His work,
Were they getting ready? Did they know who
their Master was? Ho tl rrrfnrc requires a state
ment This was doubtless the objective point
when He inquired after public rplnlon Peter
spoke He was not a mouthpiece for tho others
In this case (Verse 17), he spoke hit own lie
lief It was in two parts "limn art the
Unlet," the Misslah, the one promised in Hie
Old Testament, fipeitiel by the Jewish people,
symbolised in the offerings, the supieme hope
of tlie nation John It 13). "Hum art the Son
ot the living God," was his next statement the
only begotten bon (lohn ilii lfl Isa. Ixi 6) a
divine being. Tlie first part of this confession
was not surprising, for Jesus had on several
occasions set forli Ills Messiahhlp (John rv i
2l, l.uke tvi Iff '.'I). Put the second psrt was
a long stride Into the lealm of tiuth The
aiu,el lad declared It to Miry (l.uke It 33), bill
he had evidently foruotten Tlie llaptlst had
believed it ilolm Ii l) tMtan atsumed it in
the wilderness (Matt Iv i 3), and the devils
rt'clsred it (Mark lilt 11) On the sea the
disciples proclaimed it (Matt, xlv: ii), but

put together, MesiUhshlp and Divinity.

event, a grand achievement In apostolic educa
tion, Jesus approved thp words, thereby admit
ting them to be true "llles-ed are thou, Sinion,"
not merely happy or fortunite, but vustly moie,
he was the recipient of a Messing .Something
had been bestowed upon him, Jesus explains.
The confession wis not the result of Peter's
superior irslght, but God hid revelled this
truth to him Peter hid received linht or help
from above, vliicb. had made it possible for him
to know who Jesiw was (I Cor ii. u) That
Is really the meinlug of all blesslrg In .scripture,
a spiritual quickening It Is n great day when
God romes to mm and gives him a clearer
vision In eastern countries it was customary
to mark great occasions in men's lives by giving
them new names (Gen. xvll: 5). And so Jesus
says, "Thou art Teter," his original name being
Simon (John I: 41). Thus Jesus fultillcd Ills
words spokrn at the first meeting with Simon
(John I I'll What was then predicted was
now bestowed.
IiMtGHt PIIOslM.UT.-A clearer ilew of Christ
begins a new era Jesus, theiefore, proceeds
to speak coneernlng what had thus far been a
secret in His own breast. He outlines tlie
rhiiieh, an institution of the future, under five
lie ids, its author, its progus, its foundation,
Its nicies, its government The thurch would
be Ills In a double seme. He would not only
claim it as possession, but He would produce
It That church would be built, inereiMng
from a bgelnnlng, tint Increase bv the power
of Christ (Acts II: 4T) The foundation or be.
ginning would be a rock, something stable, a
roik then and thire present. Many have ills
puted concerning the rock. Some think it was
Peter, his name being a rock; others think it
was Peter's confession, or Christ Let Scrip,
turc decide (Kph ii: Al. 1 lie foundation was
the company there gathered, Christ and Ills
apostles, Peter's confession being their creed.
Tho success of the church was its triumph ovr
"the gates of hell." This has been understood
by some to rnein the secret counsels of evil,
by others the dividing line between this world
and tho neat. The government, committed then
to reter, was afterward given to the whole com
piny of the apostles (Matt, xviil: IF). Under
the guidance nf the Holy Spirit (Luke xxlv: 40;
John xvl; U). Jesus intended that these
twelve men should set forth the piinelplen by
which the church slioull be governed. Huso
principles arc In the New Testament, which
remains the- law (or after generations (Key.
xxll: IS 10).
I'.N'JOINl.I) MinVCU Now comes a WW won.
der. Jesus forbids His apostles to tell the
world that He was the Christ. V strange In
tttdiction When men took Illm for an eld
pioplut risen Irom the dead, when lie hid dil
llgtntly sought to make people understand Him,
when a correct knowledge of Him was the one
rssentlal to the success of His cause, why not
allow, even enjoin, theso lien to proclaim the
truth? If they believed, why be silent? He.
cause Ho desired 'that men sluuld Judge of Illm
by Ills works and words. He even required the
llaptlst to put Ills estimate on that lusli (Luke
vll; 2i), which was the most entdurin; (John
xlvi 11), Desides, these men were not ready
to proclaim the nature, snd oftke of Christ,
Tliere was another truth (erse 31) over which
they should stumble (Verse 31), but which
they should receive, and there was another bless

Alderman Myron KaFson.of tho Ninth
ward, In speaking of the ninposed cu
fovv law to a Tribune man, josterday,
Mid: "I think that I, myself, nn
capable of governing my children, anl
If I wish to send them out on an er
rand of an evening, or let them nttonil

certainly do not want to go to the
police station the next morning to ns
cue them. If the curfew law is p is.l,
moreover, It undoubtedly would be a
great trouble for tho police of the city
to enforce It, on account of the gi on
number of joung people cm the sttee t..
"While some, of course, ate a tuiuble
and nuisance, still there are n gteit
number on the stieet who are out wk'.
the full know ledge and porinKslnn of
their parents. How can tho polices dis
criminate?" "Oh," answered The Tribune man, In
a most sanguine manner, "all tho law
abiding ones .nc supposed to have
notes written by their patents, grant
ing them peunKsion."
"That's all light," tho alderman re
plied, "hut who's going to watch and
see that those same notes ato no
forged by the same oungsters.'"
This way of evading tho law, It
seems, is genet, illy taken by the youth
of the curfew-rlnglng towns, anil De
tective John Molr tells how in a town
In Iowa, which he visited, the cuifi-v
law was ilglelly enforced, and jet the
streets at night wete full iof young
boys. When a pattolman would accost
him, ho would draw from his pocket a
note wilttcn for him, possibly hv one
of his boon companions, and which cer
tified that Mr. Blank gave his sort
Johnnie permission to remnln on the
streets that particular night.
Alderman John T. Howe, magistrate
of the Seventeenth ward, expressed his
lcws on the subject about as follows:
"On the whole, I think that while tho
curfew In Itself Is an excellent thing,
still It would not do for Scranton. To
enforce It In the first place, wo would
Ing (cts II: 2) larger than Simon's, which
must be bestowed, then they might and they
would speak with boldrcsi what now must bo
kept (Acts ii: 3n).
FOni.rOIU BLTFCUlNf! Then began Jesm
to tell what must befall Himself go to Jcru
silem, suffer many thlnus, le hilled, be raUed
again Here was lredictlon, future events wiru
seen nnd desciibed, showing Ilim to lie more
than lain an. He began this at this time it
was a favoiahle time to introduce the subject,
and He frequrnll referred to it afterward
CM.tt. xv, I: 22 21, xx. 17 1"), until it all came
true, showing that ir was a matter of Impor
tance, one tlat the apostles ous;ht to have In
mind Strange subject, indeed, coming J 1st
after Ills expressed purpose to build a chinch!
Dead men do not build societies Was tins
utterance caleulitcd to negilive the foinur?
Yes, but the emphatic vvotel in (Inlet's sen'iie-o
was must lucre was .1 neeessltj fur His ful
lering and death. It was purl of tho plan of
His life. It had been foretold centuries pre
viously (lea. 1111: S) Ills death followed by a
resurrection, wis to pmvide a means and the
method of accomplishing III, designs (lohn xlt:
o2; lleb. ii: 0 10) What would teem to be
a' defMt wa3 the way to vlelorv.. Jesus did not
explain tho necessity, 'the npo-IIis were not
able to understand. Hut the did understand
afterward.
DOl'HIK ltHUJKK. This last intelligence let
In light, but it was bewildering. No wonder
that Peter, blessed Fimoii, should think such
a destiny inconsistent with the nature, otHee
and mission of Jesus. "llo It far from Thee,"
he cried. The Klnj of Ihe Jews, so long desired,
the Son ot (lod put to death! Preposterouii
The strrngtli of one's faith in one doctilne
measures tho vehemenie with which a seem
inglv opposing doctrine is condemned The
trouble with Peter was that he had obtained
only part of the truth nd so he in turn
was rebuked. Jesus Inhumed him that on tills
subject he was speaking freni purely human or
earthlv standpoint, not from a Divine conception
and Illumination, as he had chine before. Now
we ceo that Minon Ilir Jona, the foreuiviit
speaker of the twelve, even ho who had been
Divinely blessed, was unfitted to preach ( hrlst,
and II he, certainly the others. Hence, tint en
Jellied silence was ill wisdom Hiiro must bo
further tchonllng. The Urson will he learned
some day, and mUhty men of faith will prcaih
and suffer and die for the truth, when thej
sec it.
SUMMARY. Ihe lesson treatj three great
themes. It tells who Jesus was the Messiah,
the hona of Cod, the one promised to Israel,
and the rightful lord ot the earth. It tells
His great purpose, to build a society, beginning
with the company gathered about Him, growing
by the power which He supplies, regulated bv
truths delivered to Ills first inessengi rs, mighty
and successful It tells His method by suftvr
ing and death and resurrection, making atone,
ment, satisfying and adjusting broken laws and
relations. Wondcrous themes, stated In few
words, Hut alast Men are forever leaving
wet something, Grasping part and obscuring
the remainder, so perverting all, they grope
on, revising their mistakes, slowly coming into
the truth. What the world needs is the whole
Corpel, the whole story of Jtsui, Ills nature, Ills
office, Ills work, His death, Ills rising again.

"Dining the past three years I
havo seen Peruna used in several se

think the Idea of taking children of a

"Vh, to take a joung boy and gill

If some suitable place could be pio

On the whole, hoeet, I do not think

Alderman V. S. Millar, of the filghth
w'.ud, was one of tho most outspoken
icgmtilng his lnipicsslons about the
cuifcw, and btoutly declares that It is
lmpiactlcal and almost Impossible of
realization. "It is all light for little
towns," said lie, "but In a city of thH
size it would fall decidedly llat, and
would only m iko Scianton an object
of ildlcule. Wo ought not copy small
towns. In thus levlvlng an ancient law,

city. Of course, we cannot deny that
there Is a great deal of Ice on tho

Is tho parents of tho small childien

and made to attend to the cases. There
are ninny little newsbojs on the streets
after daik, nnd If their parents shoulJ
be warned by the police to keep the
littlo ones home, this evil would be
eradicated.
"Sow, for Instance, thete Is one small
boy on tho stieets every night till lute,
and who works a sympathy game. He
walks mound, and whin he sees any

Seats old, and he generally gets tho
money, I had him and his mother both
before me this moinlng.and tho mother
declared that tho boy runs away from
her and gons on the street In snlte of
what sho can ilo. She will make harder
efforts now, however, to keep him
home, and this nuisance will probably
be done away with.
"Of course, the police fotco would
have to bo Increased to enforce tho
law."

into the hall. The charge stiuck Caf
frey In the right leg, just below the
knee, tearing a hole over four inches
in diameter and shattetlng the bone.
From the blood stains on the wall It
Is appaient that Caffrey was ptobably
only thiee feet away when the gun
was flied. Just what the cause of tho
.shooting was is not known, ns neither
Curoso or Caffrey will talk. It Is prob
able, however, that the1 former thought
they weio trespassing and opened fire
on them,
Caffrey whs taken to the Lackawan
na hospital, wheto the wound was
diessed. It may be necessary to ampu
tate the limb. Curoso was aricstcd
a few minutes after the shooting by
Patrolman Potter, who rushed to the
scene on hearing the report of the
shot. He hud thrown the gun behind
the house, but it was recovered. He
was white with fear and refused to
