MPET?R'S RENUNCIATIONS."
Af R?t. I>r. John nnmpntone Draws a
Leuon From a Chapter in the Life of
Simon Peter?He Gave Himself Unreservedly
to Jesus Christ.
BROOKLYN, .N. Y. ? L>r. .lonn iiumn>
stone, pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church,
preached Sunday morning a sermon 011
The Life and Character of Simon Peter,"
the special subject being "Peter's Renunciations."
The text was from Luke v:R.
30, 11: "When Simon Peter saw it, he fell
down at Jesus' knees, saying. Depart from
> me; for I am a sinful man, 0 Lord. * * *
And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not;
from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
And when they had brought their ships to
land, they forsook all and followed Him."
Dr. Humpstone said:
It was the second decisive day dn the
life of Simoa Peter?a day of destiny.
? . Months ago in Judea he had followed his
brother into the presence of Jesus; for the
first time he then saw and heard the Mes "
siah. With Peter, to see and hear was instantly
to decide. He became a disciple,
forthwith. In the interval, Peter has been
some of the time in company with his Master;
hut much of it at his business, toiling
and trafficking; meditation his constant
avocation; to testify of the Christ to others,
as he met them in the contacts of the
strand or the market, his habit and his
pleasure. No laggard, half-hearted disciple
would Peter be, we are sure. His zeal
and. enthusiasm would lead him rather to
overwork the role of advocate: to urge
men with beat and energy to accept the
Jfessiahship of Jesus, even before they
were ready. There is an unwritten chapter
of Peter's life as only a disciple, which
Would be well worth the reading! if we had
it. After its perusal we should be leas
disposed than now we are to think that
usefulness in Christ's service is necessarily
connected with ordination thereto as an
exclusive calling. There could hardly be a
more effective showiny of what a mere
disciple can do for his Master and bis fellow
men than this lost leaf of Peter's biography
would furnish. If this were not
the case you may be sure Jesus never
would have called Peter this day to the
. continuous opportunities of the ministry;
nor. later, to the weightier responsibilities
of the apostolate.
For*un incipient crisis had been precioitated
in the career of Jesus as Messiah. His
? rejection at Nazareth was the cloud, no
bigger than a man's hand. that, nevcrthe.
less, portended the final distant storm
burst of hate unto death, from which
there would be no escape for Him. Re?
jected by "His own" after the flesh, it was
<? - time He was gathering "His own" after
the spirit and preparing them to be His
perpetrators and in tern refers. So He left
^ -Nazareth to take up His residence at Ca>
... peroaum, that He might be near the most
prominent and promising of the group of
. His early disciples. What though these
were only a quartet of' fishermen! The
Lord saw not as men saw, but with the insight
of one who "knew what was in man.
and needed not that any should testify of
man." He knew the time had now come
to separate unto Himself and the service of
His kingdom the founders of His church.
?s eye saw every precious possibility in
their nature. He discriminated them one
from another, appreciating the individuality
of each, and yef discerning their comi
- plimental temperaments and qualifications.
With. Him to feel was to act: when His
~ ."hour" had come He never deferred.
In the earlv morning, therefore. He hem
took Himself to the lake's shore. There
He found the multitude already astir.
The people were abroad, as the manner is
in the East, with the break of day; taking
t the air. hasting on their errands, following
"each his beat. But soon Jesus became the
centre of their interest and attention. The
fame of Him was alreadv everywhere. To
B* .V. see Him was to wish to hear Him, with an
veagerness that would not be refused. Ac? :
coxnpanied bv a. continually enlarging
crowd He reached the place where the men
He sought were washing and mending
I. their nets after a night of unrewarded toil
? V on the lake. The boats were drawn up on
v the beach, in the midst. Entering the one
f- that belonged to Simon Peter, He asked
him to "thrust out a little from the land"
' ' that He might use the boat for a pulpit,
:.r- from which to address the crowd. It was
?^7, to Peter He "turned His first thought when
He set about the business of selecting His
future ministers. Whatever pre-eminence
afterward belonged to Peter was deter;.v
'mined by the Lord Himself from the he.
7\ ginning. He knew the Qualifications for
leadership that were in him. He knew
v V7 also every abatement of his fitness to be
first. But the elements that indicated bis
gift of precedence outnumbered the weak_
. nesses which continually threatened hi?
r . primacy. So it was Peter's boat He elected
:>to enter. It was around Peter's nersonal>ity.
chiefly, that He chose to nucleate the
in&dents of His calling of the four whom
* ; He would now detach from their business,
that tbcv might henceforth give all their
time and thought to Him and to His mis[X
Two distinct preparations Hfe arranged
for the issuance and acceptance of the call
itself. The first was a sermon from the
boat to the multitude. Alas! that the discourse
is unrecorded. What a lesson it
uftmld be as to what preachinrr is at its
' beist. Sitting in the shadow of his Master
f:: v that day, watching now- the Speaker, now
"V the audience, Peter got his first introduc-V;
tion to the science and" the art of public
discourse for religions ends. When, by
and by,-He became himself a preacher, we
may be sure that his discourses reflect the
Lord's manner and copy His method.
The sermon finished, followed a miracle:
itself a symbol of the aim and end of
preaching: "Launch out into the'deep and
let down the nets for a draught," was the
peremptory jvord of Jesus to. Peter, when
* His discourse wa3 done. Then followed
Simon's characteristic exclamation (Peleresqne
to the ,utterrao3t): "Overseer, we
have toiled" all night and have taken nothing:
nevertheless at Thy word I will let
down the net." As if he should have said:
"Thou, Lord, art the one to command. 1
to obey. I have not seen too much of Thy
power and presence to refuse. But I have
my own idea'o: the uselessness of such a
*, proceeding under the conditions. Experience
is worth something, especially in
fishing." Over^ went the net, at last, and
in came tlie nsi> a* it was nau;en. ?p
many were the captives that both Peter's
boat and John's, suddenly summoned to
help, were filled almost to the sinking
point.
,1 : ' - The effect upon Simon Peter was instan.
taneous and overpowering. As in a fash
; "".of thought he saw. as he never had seen;
felt, as he never had known, the differ*
ence between his Lord and himself. Over
against the Master's divine power his own
belp'essness and ignorance stood forth as a
black blot on a white surface. He who1
) . had but just now assumed that air and
' professional superiority, slight though it
^ was; who had hesitated to trust implicitly
. and to follow without Question or protest
\ tbe wisdom and the precept ofhis Master
?how was he fit for discipleship? In the
momentary anguish of his spirit, awed by
tbe vision first of his Lord, then of himself,
he proposed to renounce his peculiar
and personal relation to Jesus Christ. "1
am not worthy that Thou shouldst stay in
my boat or I in Thy fellowship," exclaims
Peter even as he clasps his Lord's knees;
"go forth from me, O Lord, for I ani a
ginfnl man."
But this is precisely the act of renunciation
that Christ will not let any disciple
of His make, though his infirmities be
many and his self-will assertively strong.
He knows that when, in some time of supreme
illumination, His disciple sees himk'V

self in silhouette against the brightness of
his Master's glory and power the sense of
righteous self-depreciation will be overpoweringly
strong. But never yet did .Tesus,
never will He answer accedingiy the despairing.
desperate cry of a soul thus
searched and scorched by the sense of the
contrast between himself and his Lord.
For He is come not to call the self-approving
in their vain confidence, but sinners
in their penitence and humility to a better
knowledee of themselves and of Him. He
who could see where the fishes swarmed in
their multitude in the hidden deep knew
also the innermost heart of His disciple,
I and saw under all his frailty the firmness
of his rocklike constancy and the fixity of
I his nascent faith. No man need exoect
! Phrifif. to Ipave him because he knows him
self sinful. The moment when he is most
painfully and abasingly conscious of his
weakness^ and inferiority is the instant in
His disciple's experience when Jesus is
surest to turn encourager and restorer of
His own. When we are determined to say
the worst of ourselves He is busy making
the best of us. When we think, such is
our sense of'unwortbiness. that He and
we must part company, then He is most
resolved never to leave nor to forsake us.
"Fear not." rings out His word of cheer.
"This is the beginning of richer life and
wider service. Henceforth thou shalt catch
men." For the knowledge of self and the
distrust of self it arouses, and the knowledge
of Christ, with the confidence in
Christ it awakens ? these are the first
shoots of spiritual growth and the first
foundation stonesr in the edifice of a disciple's
usefulness. Spiritual sensitiveness
is the condition of ministerial effectivej
ness. It is the man who knows he is not
I fit to minister whom Christ can make so.
[ Therefore, when the boats with their
marvelous freight of fish, had" been brought
to land, did Jesus ask of .Peter and his
partner that surrender of themselves to
service, which involved the separating of
themselves from every other interest and
occupation to exclusive and continuous
companionship with Christ, and to constant
work for others, under His direction.
Then and there, as one of four, did
Simon Peter make that supreme renuu'-iation,
which, because it was made at his
own command, and was the manifestation
of faitb. and the proof of love, the Txird
accepted, and forever after blessed: "They
forsook all and followed Him." It was a
caonhoe nf rnnRpcratinn which only those
who have done the like are fit or competent
to judge. If we are ready to put ourselves
in Peter's place, to face the indeterminate
future as he faced it, that day: to
think of the kind of interest in his business
a man of such energy must have had,
and the enthusiasm for his occupation as
fisherman which evidently, to the last, he
felt: if we are observed to note the latent
evidences in the gospel storv that the business
_ hitherto bad flourished and prospered,
so that Peter and his associates
dwelt in comfort, bordering on the edee,
at least, of competence, estimated by the
standards of that land and a^e? then we
shall know what a venture of faith and expression
of confidence in his Lord Peter
made when he left all for Christ, giving np
the chance of future gains and binding
himself to the sacrificial use of present
possessions for the common good. It is
frequently said, disparagingly, of Peter's
renunciation of the world and its good.
'It was a' little all that he left," and
Peter has been criticised, for himself, re- ;
ferring, at a later day, to the sacrifice he,
with others, now made?"a boat, a few
nets, dirty and" old. an occupation especially
laborious and^ in some features of it
repellant to men of ordinarv refinement."
was what he left, we are told. Well! perhaps
it wa$ so: more likelv jt was otherwise.
But" whether the "all" were little or
much. Peter left it: left it instantly, utterly
and without, regret. He . transferred
himself in profoundest faith and liveliest j
gratitude to Jesus Christ and His sen-ice ,
exclusive!v, forever. For Christ's sake, I
the work's sake, the world's sake, he re- I
nouneed his former life and ambitions, to '
give himself and all be had unreserved!v j
to Jesus -Christ. And Christ welcomed, i
\oplauded and has abundantly rewarded j
the sacrifice. It is a surrender not asked '
of every disciple, but in proportion as anv
disciple approximates, its spirit of faith 1
and consecration, in. that measure will he I
realize his completeat spiritual life. It is a |
sacrifice completer even than is asked of
every disciple called to an exclusive min- i
istry; but only to the decree that the min- !
ister of Christ can detach himself from the |
world, and its spirit of pain .getting, will j
his largast spiritual power and widest in- J
fluence be realized. Here stands Peter's !
noble example of renunciation for Christ's |
sake, upon the pages of scripture, summon- j
ing us all. from our vain seeking for ma- I
terial pood as the all of life; and from our
disposition to keep what we have gotten j
as exclusive!v as our own. Christ's disci- j
oles belone to Christ, and all they have is !
His: whether they are called to use it all
in His more immediate service or not. 1
Let every servant of .Testis beware of los- j
ing his life in the effort to save and cher- '
ish it. "For what is a man profited if he
shall gain the whole world and lost his
soul?" j
Surely the incentive to such sacrifices is
not wanting in the light of Peter's subse- ;
quent career. On that later day, when the
rich young ruler had gone away sorrowing ;
because he had great possessions, and was ,
therefor unwilling to make the renuncia- j
tion, which, in his case, Jesus bad asked !
to save him From the cancer of avarice, !
which was eat'ng out his life. Simon Peter,
after the Lord had discoursed a little on
the deceitfulness and hindrance of riches
unduly loved, said. "Tco, we have left our
own and followed Thee." Whereupon
Jesus replied. "Verily I say unto you,
there is no man that hath left house, or
wife, or brethren, or parents, or children,
for the kingdom of God's sake, who shall
not receive manifold more in this time,
and in the world to come eternal life."
And has not that promise been abundantly
fulfilled in Peter's case? One thinks
not so much of the eternal distinction that
has come to him in the veneration of mul
wfcn think of him as the foremost
apostle of tbe church: nor of a memorial
to his name so magnificent as that "which ;
rears its lofty, graceful dome to the Roman
sky, but of tbe unfolded fulness of his
spiritual life as registered in his epistles;
of the influence be ha9 exerted unon men
from the Pentecost onward: of that peculiar
effluence of helo and cheer which he
ever has exhaled through his individual
need .for painful discipline and his equally
triumphant realization of a purified and j
ennobled character, grown strong and lux- ,
uriant out of the very soil of'its many in- J
firmities. Surely the renunciation of Simon
Peter was not in vain, either for himself
or for the world. What that little
life of his might have remained to be, or .
deteriorated to become, in its narrow Syrian
round, if he had refused the call of
Christ, who can adequately say? But the
imagined contrast between what he would
then have been and what he now is suffices
to move us to the swift acceptance
of every proposal Christ makes to us. and
the speedy answer to every call of His for
ourselves and our service, at whatever
present cost that answer must be given. i
? j
Seeing Christ.
When Simeon went into the Temple and
saw the infant Christ he said, "Lord, now
lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace."
What was his reason? ? "hor mine eyes
have seen Thy salvation." Aye, that is it.
To see Jesus is to see God's salvation, and
to see God's salvation is to be ready to
die, and to be ready to die is to be lit to
live.?Rev. W. Y. Puller ton.

The Annual Mud Tax.
A careful study of the road problem
in detail reveals some important and
siguiiicant features. While tfood roatl
. *rk.w. io fnnnii in n vorv fow nlaces in
this country, good clays are fouud in
nearly every locality.
"If these abundant clays," Mr. Dodge
argues, "can be used economically to
build good roads they will greatly assist
in meeting the important problem
of how 1o construct our country roads.
"Again; as all loads are hauled over
very narrow portions of roads through
wheel contact, railroad cars for example,
it follows that if such narrow
parts of our roads are cheaply constructed
to properly resist the weight
and grind of the wagon-wlieels, new
and important results will be attained.
"At a cost of construction of say
5S00 a mile, brick track roads for the
entire country would cost les3-than
four tinpes the 5650,000,000 loss which
it is estimated we are now sustaining
each year 0:1 account of our bad roads.
"In other words, we are uow paying
for the pleasure of using our present
deplorable roads an annual mud tax
which in less than four years would
build the liuest and best roads in the
world throughout the entire cpuntiy.
and which would effect a saving of
nearly .$7 edch year for every man,
woman and child in this country, to
say uothiug of the pleasure, the satisfaction
and the moral benefits of driv
* > j
ing over good nam roaas every u?y
of the year instead of throngh a series
of mud holes or a cloud of dust.
"To the rapid aud economical extension
of rural mail delivery only
one obstacle worthy of consideration
presents itself, but that obstacle is,of
such a nature as to greatly affect
its practicability and economy. Thisis
the present condition of out country
roads.
"Without question, one of the first
great movements toward the economical
free rural delivery of the mails
should be the construction of passable
; roads. This is already evident from
the fact that some of the mail delivery
routes have had to be abandoned
011 account of bad roads,
t "The circumstance that over six inil!
lion dollars was appropriated by our
last Congress largely to be buried in
onr muddy roads in the delivery of
our rural mails, while only the small
' sum of $20,000 was last year devoted
I to meeting the road problem, indicates
I the great need- of education ^regarding
the present necessity and demand for
I vigorous and intelligent road wor*.
j "As much of these large appropria!
tions for rural mail delivery could be
! saved if we had good roads, it is obj
vious that an amount equal to a considerable
portion of these sums could
| be spent to godfl advantage in educatj
ing. the people in the work of improvj
ing onr country roads and thus forever
i close a large drain on our national cash
I box. \
j' "In view of these facts, conld not a
I million or more be spent to the best
possible advantage by the national gov
i ernment in constructing a section of
j brick tract road near each county seat
J throughout the country as an object lesson
in each county in the mbst advanced
methods of road construction?"

; The town of Plymouth has been in
the list of towns 'hat have improved
highways under State aid. We have
built nearij' two miles of macadam
road. These sections were put in six
or seven years ago, and have proved
satisfactory, and at the present time
are in good condition. This kind of
road needs repairing by top dressing
with three-fourth inch trap rock twice
a year, and when the roads commence
to unravel or pick up they must be
repaired at once to prevent serious injury
to the roads. Cost of repairs,
should say $40 to $50 per mile per
year. We have also done several miles
of grading and graveling during the
last two years, greatly improving the
highways thus treated. Our gravel

The Subtlllty of an Expert Trainer's
Judgment of His Beasts.
When the Tiger Princess was going
to give up one of her old performers
because he was getting euikj and peevish,
Sterrett looked over tne troupe
and said:
"That one is all right, but the one
. ivor ftioro in t h p rnrnpr will hear
watching."
"Why, the man talks like a fool,"
said the princess. "That's Zulka. She
is the best actor I've got.",
Sterrett laughed. "Train an understudy,"
he advised. "I'll give Zulka
three weeks to retire from the stage.
She's going bad."
Zulka was a very beautiful young
lioness; one of the best trick beasts
I've ever known and one of the very
few that seemed to have a genuine,
affection for the trainer. As a rule
the felines don't exhibit the softer
emotions. They feel for men either
indifference or distaste. But this lioness
used to show signs of pleasure
when her mistress entered tne cage,
and I've seen her put her muzzle up
against the bars to fawn on the queen.
Two weeks after Sterrett's advice, to
which we paid little heed (that was
when I knew less about him than I
subsequently learned), I saw the lioness
caressing the woman at the close
of the performance. As the Tiger
Princess entered the cage the next
day there was a snarl and a scream
and she was down. Zulka had her.
