A # & Jesus also says, "I will give unto | thee the keys of the kingdomâ€" of iheaven; and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in \heaven ; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Keys are a symbol of of power and authority. Dr. Schaff says, "Tho apostles had knowledge ard authority which no one after them needs, or can rightly claim." ‘Peter and the other apostles were fto bo the representatives of Christ‘s | church on carth, and they were given power and authority to organize and lestablish his church after his death. ‘Peter actually unlocked the kingdom (fo( heaven to the Jews on the day of Pertecost when three thousand were converted, and a little later to the \Geprtiles (Acts x. 34â€"48). They also ‘received the key to the interpretaâ€" tion ofthe Old Testament Scripâ€" tures. "To bind meant to forbid, ; or to declare forbidden; to loose meant to allow, or to declars allowâ€" able."â€"Morison. In their organizaâ€" tion of the church they were to be so guided by the Holy Spirit, that whatevrer they forbade or allowed iwould receive the authority, sanction ‘and approbation of God. Tho account given by Matthew is much fuller than this one given by (Mark. In Mait. xvi. 18, 19 weo have the verses which have acvroused as profound and as disturbing a disâ€" ‘ cussian as any passago in the word of God. Jesus is reported as sayâ€" ‘ing, "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church." The Greek word here for Peter is "peâ€" ‘tros," meaning a stone or a piece of rock. This namo has been given Poter by Jesus at the first (John L 42. The Greek word for rock is "petra," meaning rock in mass. Reâ€" garding this thero are four leading views, all of which are supported by good authorities: 1, That Peter was |the rock on which Christ was to {build his church. 2. That Peter and tall true believers are the rock. 3. That tho confession Peter had just rmado was the rock. 4. That \Christ had reference to himself when he said "upon this rock." The true view. is, without doubt, the last one .ltated. Christ is the foundation of ‘his church. He is the tried stone, ttho precious corner stone, the "sure , foundation" (Isa. xxviii. 16). "For other foundation can no man lay {than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ" (1 Cor. iii. 11). It was as though Christ had said, Thou ar |"Petros," a stone, a fragment of a ‘rock; but upon this "petra," this solid rock, which is _ mysel{lâ€"the \Christ, I will build my church. 31.â€"Began to teachâ€"Heretofore Ho had spoken obscurely, but now for ‘the first time He speaks plainly of {Hig coming sufferings and death.

Women should bear this important fact in mind when they go into a drug store, and be sure not to accept anything that is claimed to be " just as good " as Lydia E.
