Her heart went out to a soldier she nursed; she left the convent and in Paris fell Into a life of sin. After years she crept back to the convent . steps to die. She was tak-en in and nursed back to health, when lot she found another bad filled her nlace (n the con- - vent through the years, and now that she had come back It was awaiting her. She slipped back Into her old position and few knew she had ever gone away. The late Dr. 3. Wilbur Chapman used to tell this story to Illustrate God's gracious way of restoring his erring saints. In our text we have one of the great scriptural examples of such gracious restoration, from which all may take comfort. Christ Inquires of Peter, "Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?" Peter had protested that though all others might forsake Christ, he would never leave Him. But he had shown, too sadly, that he did not .love his Master "more than these." How .Christ's question must have rebuked him 1 . And in his reply it is to be noted that all the old spirit of boasting is gone and there is no claim to love Christ more than others love Him. Soma Searching Questions. Peter's humility is shown In another way. In Christ's question, the, word used for love, in the original, indi-cates an unselfish love which expects no return the love of friendship. When Peter replies, he uses a lower word for love, Inflicatlng a personal, clinging affection which seeks return. In other words, he has ceased to boast ot his love, not only as toouan-tlty- , but also as to quality. He only dares to assert he is fond of Jesus! Moreover, the third time Jesus in-quired as to Simon's love, He used the same word, In the original, which Peter had been using, as If to say: "Are you sure you have even this lower kind of love, that you are even fond of me?" No wonder Peter was grieved when Christ said unto hlra the third time, "lovest thou me?" He can only reply: "Lord, thou know-es- t all things: thou knowest that I love thee." Peter feels he has so failed in showing his love that only his Lord, who knows all things, can see It I But let us not lose sight of the grace underlying the. searching ques-tln- s of Christ. Thrice had Peter de-nied Him in public, and he Is here given the privilege of thrice publicly confessing Him. But our text denls not only with Peter's confession, but also with his commission, "Feed my lambs." Indeed, after both the second and third con-fessions, Christ says: "Feed (It. V. tend) my sheep." These are the lambs and sheep for whom the Great Shep-herd died. What a great evidence of His love for Peter, and of the confi-dence He reposes in the once erring disciple, that He will commit to his care' those who are so precious to Him! Christ had said to Peter be-fore his fall: "When thou art con-verted, strengthen thy brethren." Now that Peter has been converted, or turned, and knows his own weakness, he is preparing to help others. It has been beautlfuly said: "When troncht to nothlrg, He c;n tip? w In our nothingness, and when He can use us. He will." The Privilege of Martyrdom. There is still another way in which Christ's grace was manifested toward Simon on the occasion we are consid-ering, although it Is sometimes not appreciated. After the third confes-ulo- n, Jesus said: "When thou wast young thou girdedst thy.ylf, and walk-ed- st whither thou wouliletit: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not." John explains: "This spoke he, signifying by what death he should glorify God." Tradi-tion tells us that I'eter was crucified heud downward, since he did not feel worthy to he upright on his cross us was his Lord. Not all would covet such a deuth, but it Is to he recalled that I'eter had boasted of his willing-ness to die for Christ and then hud miserably failed. How he must have iipprecliited the opportunity of making Kood even at this point ! The nun in the story only got hack tier position, but I'eter was advanced from beinj; a "Usher of turn" to be-ing a shepherd of the Hock of God, u ho siiiill receive the "crown ot tloiy," and a martyr, who shall re-ceive the "crown of life."

After sever-ing the head of her. twelve-year-ol- d daughter with a butcher knife and hurling her son and an In-fant Into a barrel filled with rain wa-ter, Mrs. Arnold Bolt, residing at the home of her father, George Harris, ran head on against the sharp edge of a hatchet which she had wedged In a fence and Injured herself probably fa-tally. Mrs. Holt Is believed to have be-come suddenly insane as a result of brooding over a divorce suit She was separated from her husband several months ago.

The son and the In-fant, who were nearby, then were seized by the demented mother and 8everd the Girl's Head With On Blov. plunged into the barrel of water, the cover thrown on top of them to pre-vent their escape. Tearing her hair and shrieking, Mrs. Holt then ran to a fence In which she previously had fastened a hatchet. Backing away 20 feet, she lowered her head- and ran straight against the sharp blade, cleaving her skull. The father watched the tragedy as though paralyzed until the woman fell, then ran to notify neighbors. The boy was found hanging head down over the edge of the rain barrel in an un-conscious condition and hope is held for his recovery. The Infant perished In the barrel. Mrs. Holt was unconscious when picked up by neighbors and physicians who attended her said she would not recover. During a brief lapse of con-sciousness she whispered: "Why didn't God let me finish It?" She Is said to have been despond-ent since her separation from her hus-band and dreaded the ordeal of ap-pearing In court In the divorce pro-ceedings which she had Instituted.

Evidently there has long been what i amounts to a misunder-standing as to the attitude of ed labor toward state Mili-- tia, or national guard. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of La-bor clears this matter in a letter to Adj. Gen. Louis G. Lasher. Mr Gompers was asked for a statement by the Militia bureau of the War Department. "A man who is a wage worker and honorably working at his trade or calling to support him-self and his dependents" says Mr. Gompers in his letter "has not only the right to become a citizen soldier, but that right must be unquestioned." Mr. Gompers further says, "The dif-ference between the citizen sol-diers of the United Stats and the large standing armies of many European countries is the differ-ence between the concption of liberty and tyranny." "While organized Labor stands against the arbitrament of na--. tional or international disputes by force of arms" says Mr. Gom-pers, "yet we must realize we have not yet reached the Millen-nium; that in the age in which we live we have not the choice between armed force and disarm-nen- t; but the alternative be-tween a large standing army and a small, supplemented by volun-teer citizen soldiery the militia of our several States." General Lasher thinks this statement coming direct from Mr. Gompers should forever set at rest any misunderstanding as to the attitude of organized la-bor toward National Guard ser-vice and says "It is simply added proof that organized labor stands for the same brand of loyalty and patroiotism as does the na-tional guard."
