WOMEN'S INTERESTS
WHAT HAPPENED TO JANE
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
I'HAITKK XXXIII.
(Copyright, 1915, Star Co.l
It was with the resolution to Hiake
the best of circumstances that Jane
began life in' her husband's home.
Difficult as she had expected to
lind some of her problems, she had
not anticipated the existence of
conditions which now confronted
her.
It was like beginning a new ex
istence. The world of which she
ihad been a part seemed already re
imote. This was not only because
she was now a wife and in a larger
and more pretentious house than
she was used', to, but because Au
gustus discouraged the continuance
■of the habits and associations of
former days.
At first Jane could hardly be
lieve that it was his desire to
■monopolise heir time and to keep
her away from the friends of her
• girlhood. She took It for granted
that he would be willing to have
'"her go often to her parents' home
and to have her people visit her i
■frequently.
On the dnv after her return to;
iSlllton she told him that she would :
like to go to see her mother. but I
he shook hi* head.
"There's a lot for you to learn I
about the ways of my house. Jane." j
he said. "I'd rather you stayed!
home."
Heartsick and puzzled, the girl ;
tried to behave as If she was con- j
tent. Yet so depressed was she i
that when, late in the afternoon, she

"Oh. mother!" she exclaimed.!

Her mother returned her kiss, but i

"Well. .Tanle," she said. ' I heard 1
from the neighbors that you'd got ;

leaving me to learn about It, from

"I couldn't come, mother, nor send I
any word." Jane tried to explain. I
Then she turned to her father and j

11 seeming to complain of her hus

I j "but Augustus wauled me to stay at

II They had been seated for only a

greeted the callers patronizingly,
i "You weren't long in coming over

Surely he would suggest that she
I ask her parents to stay to supper.
Jane thought as she listened to his
1 account of their \lsit to New York.
| Slipping from the room she went
i into the dining room where Mary
j was laying the cloth for supper.
"Oh. Mrs. 1 mean Mary," the
I wife said nervously, "my father and
j mother are here. I wonder if it
! would be convenient to have them

For a full minute the woman set-
I ting the table did not reply, but
j continued to place forks, knives

i "Since he's the one you made up

The hot blood rushed to the girl's
J cheeks, but she did not allow her

! trembled on her lips.
Going back to the door of the
sitting room, she asked her husband
!if she migh speak to him a mo

PETER CAME BACK
i AND MADE GOOD
Cut Himself Off From His
Best Friend, but Was
Forgiven
PHKACHKI) AT PKNTKCOST
International Sunday School
| Lesson For Jan. 16 Is Peter's
Sermon at Pentecost"
A man who "came back." as the
i phrase of athletics has It, is the first
figure in the present lesson concerning
the most famous sermon preached
since the ascent of Christ. Two months
j before Peter, the preacher, scared by a
I woman's question, had stood in Jeru
salem cursing and swearing and de
claring that he had never known his
Jesus. A blustering renegade was he.
| In cowardly fashion he had cut hint
self off from his best Friend, in the
(hour when that Friend needed him
I most.
Now we behold him. forgiven and
restored, back In his old fellowship,
and displaying his characteristic quali
ties of initiative and leadership. Liike
the words of redeemed men in the res
cue missions, his utterance was direct,
personal, vital and assured. As we
look upon Peter, the preacher at
Pentecost, and the spokesman of the
infant Church, we may not forget that
he exemplifies the great truth that
God's grace enables many men to
"come back," restored to peace and
power.
There is one church known to me
which si ill follows the practice of
Pentecost in that the other officers of
the church surround the preacher on
the pulpit. When Peter stood up, the
other eleven apostles stood with him.
The authority and endorsement of the
whole body were behind the preacher's
words. Many a clergyman nowadays
has to speak in spite of his officers, in
stead of by their co-operation. They
are among the critics down in the
pews. Tt is a great thing when a con
gregation speaks unitedly to the com
munity.
•lust Plain Preaching
That was a great day In the history
of the world when Peter's message,
following the sensation of gift of
tongues, made three thousand converts
for the little company of Christ's
friends. It has always been a high
water mark and a standard for the
Church.
There is an up-to-date message in
the story. For It was ry>t a news
paper editorial, nor a learned essay,
nor an enactment of the legislature,
nor a scheme of the chamber of com
merce that wrought this wonder, but
just plain preaching. Whenever I read
the occasional editorials and magazine
articles about "the passing of the ser
mon" I smile to myself; for great ser
mons of the Peter-at-Pentecost type
still have their old-tline power. True,
our day Is hard upon commonplace
preaching and upon sermons "got up;"
but it responds as of old to a man of
God declaring with power the truth of
God's redemption for man. The man
of parts who goes into the pulpit goes
Into the place of greatest power on
earth.
Some things that should mark ever?"
sermon characterized Peter's message
that day. First, he told the story of
Christ, and in plain words. No amount
of intellectual brilliancy can take the
place of the telling of the facts. Most
modern sermons are long on exhorta
tion and short on facts. It is the Story
that is winning the world. Peter
quoted Scripture appositely. It is pass
ing strange how little Bible gets into
the pulpit discourses of our day. es
pecially in the light of the fact that
the people who know most about the
Bible best understand the war news
from the East.
Into the teeth of his hearers Peter
hurled the brave truth that they had
crucified the Messiah. No ear-tickler
or trimmer was the fiery apostle. He
dared rebuke sin. Then he preached
repentance and baptism and the sal
vation provided by Christ. Soon a
multitude of three thousand were cry
ing out, "What shall we do?"
The Sermon Itself
Better than any comment upon it is
Dr. Luke's report of Peter's sermon
itself:
"But Peter, standing up with the
eleven, lifted up his voice, and spake
forth unto them, saying. Ye men of
Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jeru
salem. be this known unto you, and
give ear unto my words. For these
are not drunken, as ye suppose; seeing
it is but the third hour of the day;
but this is that which hath been
spoken through the prophet Joel:
"And it shall be in the last davs. saith
God.
X will pour forth of my Spirit upon j
all flesh:
And your sons and your daughters
shall prophesy.
And your young men shall see visions.
And your old men shall dream
dreams:
Yea and on my servants and on my
handmaidens in those days
Will I pour forth of my spirit: and
they shall prophesy.
And 1 will show wonders in the
heaven above.
And signs on tlie earth beneath:
Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke:
The sun shall be turned tnfo dark
ness.
And the moon into blood.
Before the day of the Lord come,
That great and notable day:
And it shall be. that whosoever shall
call on the name of the L.ord
shall be saved.
"Ye men of Israel, hear these words:
Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of
God unto you by mighty works and
wonders and signs which God did by
Him in the midst of you, even as ye
yourselves know: Him, being delivered
up by the determinate counsel and
foreknowledge of God. ye by the hand
of lawless men did crucify and slay

the pangs of death: because it was not
possible tlial lie should be holden of
it. For David said concerning him,
"I beheld the Lord always before my
face:
For He is on my right ha.nd, that I
should nol be moved:
Therefore my heart was glad, and my
tongue rejoiced:
Moreover my flesh also shall dwell in
hope:
Because thou wilt not leave my soul
unto Hades,
Neither wilt thou give thy Holy One
to see corruption.
Tlioti madest known unto me the
ways of life;
Thou shall make me full of gladness
with thy countenance.
"Brethren, I may say unto you freely
of the patriarch David, that he both
died and was buried, and his tomb is
with us unto this day. Being there
fore a prophet, and knowing that God
had sworn with an oath to him. that
of the fruit of his loins he would set
one upon his throne: he foreseeing this
spake of the resurrection of the Christ,
that neither was he left unto Hades,
nor did his flesh see corruption. This
Jesus did God raise up, whereof we all
are witnesses. Being therefore by the
right hand of God exalted, and having
received of the Father the promise of
the Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth
this, which ye see and hear. For
David ascended into the heavens; but
he salth himself:
"The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou
011 my right hand,
Till 1 make thine enemies the foot
stool of thy feet.
"Let all the house of Israel therefore
know assuredly, that God hath made
Him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus
whom ye crucified.
"Now when they heard this, they
were pricked in their heart, and said
unto Peter and the rest of the apostles.
Brethren, what shall we do? And
Peter said unto them, Repent ye. and
be baptized every one of you in the
name of Jesus Christ unto the remis
sion of your sins, and ye shall receive
the gift of the Holy Spirit. For to
you is the pr»uise, and to your chil
dren, and to all that are afar off, even
as many as the Lord our God shall
call unto Him. And with many other
words he testified! and exhorted them,
saying, Snvc yourselves from this
crooked generation. They then that
received his word were baptized: and
there were added unto them in that
day about three thousands souls."'
Linking the Old and the New
Over in Japan many of the Chris
tians practically discard the Old Tes
tament. in effect many of us do the
same. Not so Peter. He took his text
from the Prophet Joel, and boldly
affirmed that the great dream of the
Jews had come true, the prophecy had
been fulfilled. His overwhelming news
was that the long-expected and oft
repeated Messianic era had come to
pass. He did not shrink from pro
claiming a truth because its very vast
ness made it seem almost incredible.
The supreme optimist is the preacher
of the Good News. The pessimist is
one who has not the courage to tell
the whole truth about the coming of
the Kingdom.
Some Bible students nowadays are
so bent on the minute interpretation of
prophecy that they have no vision for
the vaster application of the truth.
Unlike Peter, they do not link up the
old with the new in a way that makes
for a changed life. Light minds face
peril in the study of prophecy; but for
all who can differentiate the essential
from the nonessential, the. fulfilment
of the Old Testament Scriptures in
Christ is a soul-nourishing study.
This great sermon of Peter's all
headed up in Christ; it was what the
theologians call "Christocent ric." It.
produced the witness of the Scripture
to Jesus, gave the testimony of the
apostles themselves, appealed for con
firmation to tlie experience of the
listeners, and applied the Gospel to
the needs of the people.
With sympathy as well as with fear
lesness Peter addressed himself to his
hearers as "men and brethren." They
were a motley lot. but he saw them as
kindred to himself, and children of the
one God. The art of "getting next"' to
liis crowd was understood by the Gall
lean fisherman who had been trained
in the school of the tactful Christ.
Then the truth was driven home
until each man felt himself a sharer
in the rejection of Christ, and cried
aloud for mercy. Dr. Bonar has ex
pressed this feeling of contrition:
""I see the crowd in Pilate's hall,
1 mark their wrathful mein,
Their shouts of "Crucify" appall,
With blasphemy between.
"And of that shouting multitude
1 feel that I am one:
And In that din of voices rude
I recognize my own.
"1 see the scourges tear His back,
1 see the piercing crown.
And of that crowd who smite and
mock
T feel that I am one.
"Around yon cross the throng T see,
Mocking the Sufferer's groan:
Yet still my voice it seems to be.
As if I mocked alone."
Understanding llie Crowd
We can imagine some wiseacre,
called upon to consider this great itiul-
titude listening to Peter's sermon, ex- |
plaining it all away, in somewhat this !
fashion: "Things were different then, jl
Those old Jews were fanatics on re- j i
ligion. Keniember, they had come j t
from all parts of the earth to a re- i
ligiqus festival. It was like the mod- j \
orn pilgrimage to Mecca. They were ■
glad to listen to sermons, because re- r
ligion was the thing that most inter- !
ested them just then. Times have!
changed, and things are different now. j
People are not interested in religion j
to-day. This is a 'practical' age. We !
have outgrown this old-fashioned in- }
terest in spiritual concerns."
All of which shows crass ignorance
of the crowd. A man who talks like j
that has never learned to look beneath i
the surface of things. The world was,
never more deeply interested in re- !
ligion than in this year of our Lord '
1916. How explain the myriads who'
are attending revival meeting's every!
week? What is to be said about the I
increase in church attendance? The
best-selling books are religious. Have j
you made a note of the number of
men 011 the trains who talk religion?,
Peter's appeal was to the oldest, deep- ;
est and most vital interest of the j
human breast; an interest that Is still
real and vital to-day. Whenever a j
modern Peter preaches, he gets Peter's )
results.
