development of christian ufa and experience we have in practice ao far de parted from the normal in chrlatlsa life that w can hardly believe that the above is true in place of the normal christian ufa according to goda standard we have established a standard based on the average christian life if we equal it we are satisfied and u perchance we surpass it we count ourselves among the mora spiritual ones and all the time tha average standard is far below the normal christian ufa which ood not only expects but is ready to enable and empower us to live peter tells ua in this passsge that the great and precious promises of cod in christ ore not only to enable us to escope the corruption of this sinful world but to go on to a placo where we will neither be barren nor unfruitful christians how

and ignoble ends un- vfdim lantern temple bai ley- cuaptntxtv worthy causes having thus gained the interest of man by fair miens or foul have demanded blind loyal ly even in the carrying out of crime there has been the suggestion that there is some kind of a coda of honor loyalty among thieves all this does not change the fact uut there is a high and holy im pulse tn man to stand true to the right and tn the christian to be found ever loyal to the christ whose ve ere and whom we serve fslth in christ our lesson of last week it rightly followed by loyalty to ham it manifests itself in three ways

had not only done great deeds but had spoken beautiful words about the fatherhood of god the power of the holy spirit etc he had fed the five thousand and they uked that too but now he hed talked about a broked body about partaking of his flesh and his blood and they did not like it this reached too deeply into the necessity for a per gonal spiritual experience and one that spoke of sacrifice and many ot the disciples walked no more with him v m how perfect a picture of the re ligious experience ot multitudes of men and women in our day tho true disciple however stands truest in lust such an hour we believe aaid peter and he spoke bitter than ever before in his life we dont understand everything thats the thought back of to thorn ahall we got hut we be lieve and we wlu stand fsst blessed word of loyalty observe that peter and his breth ren recognized christ as the holy one of god that is goda eon in o unique and intimate sense one close to and participating in the holiness of ood loyalty will not hold on any lesser concept of christ there is no incentive to real service und sacrifice in tho wateredout re ligious faith ot the modernistic ub- trull iii forsaking all or

the best this world can of- ler looks like rubbish v 8 which t really is when one catches a ullmpse of jesus christ turn your eye upon jesus took full in ills wonderful fsoe and the things of earth will stow strangely dim in the uaht ol ilia glory and trace however that experience of pauls was only the beginning of a life of devotion to tho lord which is expressed in words the depth of which wo cannot fully plumb what does it mean to know the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings being made com fortable unto his death we do not fully know but certain we are that it speaks ot o feuowshlp with christ that is very deep and inti mate a ufe ofpower because he lives in and works through the bo- hover a sharing with him of the hotrod and bitterness of the world yes of death if need be for him in the assurance of resurrection this is an all out christian ex perience nothing held back nothing thought to be too difficult or trying everything gladly given in unstinted
