1 GOLDEN TEXT—For Christ also hath
tonce suffered lor olno, the just for the
unjust, that he might bring ua to God*
being put to death In the flesh, but quick-
ened by the Spirit.—I Peter 3:18. *
A witness Is one who knows by
.personal experience about that con-
cerning which he testifies. Certain-
!ly no one could speak with more pro-
priety or assurance concerning the
sufferings and death of Christ than
Peter. As one of the Inner circle,
he. with James and John, was with
Jesus on almost every important
occasion. He was on the Mount of
Transfiguration, and with the Lord
in the garden of Gethscmane. He
witnessed His trial and in all prob-
ability His crucifixion He was first
at the empty torn!). Furthermore,
he could speak as one who had in
a moment of weakness denied the
Lord an<f who had come by way of
doubt and despair hack to his faith
in the Saviour. It is' not only ap-
propriate that wc should study Pe-
ter's words on this subject but it is
also the greatest possible theme
with which to close our three-month
study of the fife and work of retor.
For all that he was and all that he
did. can be explained’ only by his
faith in a redeeming Christ.
I. Christ—the Saviour I Pet. 1:17-

Having been saved by faith in His
blood, wc are ready to look upon
iiim as our example.
1. Our suffering fvv. 20, 21). One
f the serious problems of life is suf-
fering, and as we suggested last
week, being a Christian does not
grant us any immunity, tf we suf-
fer becaose of our own sin, we
must expect to bear the result pa-
tiently; but even above that, when
jwe find ourselves suffering for well-
doing, we are to glorify God by*
bearing It patiently tor Christ's
sake. Nothing is a stronger testi-
mony for Christ than a true Chris-
tian spirit In time of trial and sor-
row. #
2. The suffering of Christ tvv. 21-
25). Our minds turn to Isaiah 53 and
Psalm 22, as well as to thp Gospel
narratives, as we think of our Lord's
suffering. As we read the words,
"Christ . . . suffered for you," we
join the saintly expositor ot the
Word who fell upon his faee sob-
bing, ‘Tor me, for me. He bore It
all for me.” How can anyone re-
ject Him? How can you, unsaved
reader of these lines, any longer
turn this loving Saviour awav?
These are trying days for the
souls of men. In many parts of the
world Christians are tasting the bit
ter cup of persecution. The day
may come when we must meet the
same fate, and even now we know
what it means to bear the scorn of
unbelievers. Shall we become fear-
ful or embittered in our hearts? No,
"consider him that endured such
contradiction of sinners against him-*
self, last ye be wearied and faint in.

slated unto blood, striving against!

Without Advertising, no merchant could
afford to risk a large investment in merchan-
dise-and wait and wait till some chance cus-
tomer happened in... Without Advertising,
you would be unaware of the many loveely,
usehiE things assembled In the stores for your
convenience... Without Advertising, finding
what you wanted at a price you could afford
would be a matter of luck or of patient plod-
ding from store to store
Mass production and sales volume- thru
Advertising-have brought to the American
People an ease and ccrfort of living that
would have been bevend ?' o wildest dream cf
kings of old.
