PETER'S DENIAL
LESSON TEXT—Mark 14:27-31, 64,
66-72.
GOLDEN TEXT—Wherefore let him
that tlilnketh he Htundeth take heed
lest he fall. I Corinthians 10:12.
PRIMARY TOPIC—When Peter Did
Wrong and Was Sorry.
JUNIOR TOPIC—When Peter Failed.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP-
IC—Be Prepared to Meet Temptation.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP-
IC—How Jesus Is Denied Today.
A better statement of the subject
would be "Peter's Downfall." From
the height of fellowship with God
which Peter enjoyed when he con-
fessed that Jesus was the Messiah, In
Matthew 16, to the depth of emphasiz-
ing a lie by means of foul oaths is a
long way, but the steps were quickly
taken, for the time was short. The
presentation of this lesson should be
done In such a way as to-be a solemn
warning to Christians today. In or-
der that we may be saved from such
a fall, let us study carefully the steps
in Peter's backsliding.
I. Over-weening Self-confidence (vv.
29-31).
Jesus had issued a solemn warning,
even a prophecy, of the backsliding of
all the disciples. Peter's unwilling-
ness to face the cross alienated him
from Jesus, and when apprised of the
fact that the disciples would all for-
sake Jesus, Peter declared that Jesus
■was mistaken, saying, "Although all
shall be offended, yet will not I."
Our condition is most perilous when
we are most sure of our safety.
II. Sleeping at the Post of Duty
(vv. 32-37).
Peter and two others were priv-
ileged to be near to Jesus in the hour
of his anguish. The favored three
were commanded to watch, but In one
short hour the very one who was so
confident of his self-sufficiency had
fallen asleep instead of watching.
The only way to escape from backslid-
ing Is to watch. The one who over-
rates himself under-rates the power of
the devil.
III. Neglect of Prayer (vv. 38).
The legitimate inference from the
1/ord's words, "Watch and pray," is
that he had commanded them to pray
as well as to watch. The reason there
is so little prayer on the part of
Christians is due to the fact that
there Is a lack of the sense of need
of God's help.
IV. Service in the Energy of the
Flesh (v. 47).
When they came to arrest Jesus,
Peter took a sword and cut off an ear
of the servant of the high priest (John
18:10), He was zealous for the Lord,
but it was zeal without knowledge.
Even In his outward zeal for his Lord
he made a bungling Job. If he had
been in downright earnest he would
have cut off the man's head instead
of his ear. This is characteristic of
jnuch of the service rendered today by
Christians.
V. Following Jesus Afar Off (v. 54).
Christ's rebuke for taking the sword
and the awkward position in which
l'eter's act had placed him caused him
to follow Jesus afar off. This rebuke
widened the breach between Peter
and his Lord. Following Jesus afar
off got him Into further trouble.
VI. Seeking Comfort Among the
Lord's Enemies (v. 07).
This fire was built by those who
had come unsyrupathetically to wit-
ness the crucifixion and even to mock
in this tragic hour. For Christ's dis-
ciples to warm themselves at the ene-
mies' lire, to get comfort from the
things prepared for the satisfaction of
his enemies is sinful. Peter not only
tried to get comfort by using that
which the enemy had prepared for
themselves, but he engaged in conver-
sation with the enemy and they thnt
stood by declared that his speech be-
trayed him. Multitudes of professing
Christians have grown cold while sit-
ting around the enemies' fire. It
would be Infinitely better to freeze to
death li> Gethsemane than to keep
warm i. < und the enemies' fire.
VII. Open Denial (vv. (58-72).
Step by step l'cter went downward
until the words of a servant girl pro-
voked open and blasphemous denial.
Peter's trouble began when he shrank
from the cross. It was that shrinking
which separates him from contact
with his Lord. Only the one who has
been in touch with the Lord can back-
slide. Many of the so-called backslid-
ers have never been l>orn again; they
have simply returned to their own
way.
Conscience
The men who have done the most
for any noble cause have been the men
iwho have heard, and who have been
iprepared to listen to, the "still small

POULTRY OUTLOOK
AND GOOD RATIONS
Increase in Price of Eggs
Adds to Interest.
By IT. H. Alp, Poultry Extension Specialist,
University of Illinois—WNII Service.
With the seasonal Increase in egg
prices and the encouraging outlook
for the egg market, renewed Interest
is being taken In laying rations by
poultrymen whose flocks normally pro-
duce some 2,000,000,000 eggs annually.
There are, of course, several good
laying nations, but one that has given
good result at the University of Illi-
nois College of Agriculture consists of
both mash and grain mixtures. The
mash is usually made up In 000-pound
lots by mixing together 155 pounds of
ground yellow corn, 100 pounds of
wheat middlings, 55 pounds of meat
scrap, 100 pounds wheat bran, 20
pounds of dried milk, 25 pounds of
soybean ell meal, 40 pounds of alfalfa
leaf meal and 5 pounds of salt. For
winter feeding, one pint of cod liver oil
is added to each 100 pounds of mash.
This Is kept before the birds In feed
hoppers at all times.
The grain mixture, when made up
In 100 pound batches, consists of 40
pounds of corn, 30 pounds of wheat
and 30 pounds of oats. This is hand
fed, the chickens being given 12 to 14
pounds for each 100 birds twice dally.
Oyster shell, grit and any succulent
green feed that may be available are
given the birds free choice.
When feed prices are going up along
with egg prices, there is a temptation
for poultrymen to cheapen their feed-
ing mixtures at the expense of some
necessary worthwhile Ingredient. This
Is usually a false saving, for a low-
priced ration is not necessarily the
most economical. It Is doubtful if It
would be good Judgment on the part of
anyone to sacrifice a proved ration
simply because it has advanced In
price, unless a satisfactory substitute
can be found costing less money.
Kinds of Lighting for
Use in Poultry Houses
While electric lights are ideal for
use in the poultry house, other forms
of lighting such as kerosene, gasoline,
gas, or acetylene may be used with
satisfaction. It Is not necessary to
use a strong light to obtain satisfac-
tory results, says E. M. Funk, of the
Missouri College of Agriculture. Many
poultrymen have used 10 or 15 watt
electric lights with very good results.
Roth mash and grain should be kept
in open hoppers so the birds can easily
find the feed. Fresh water should also
be available.
The lights should be located about
6 feet above the floor and arranged so
that the feed and water containers
are well lighted. Two lights approxi-
mately 15 feet apart and 10 feet from
the front of a 30 by 30 poultry house
will provide sufficient illumination.
Two lights 10 feet apart should be used
In 20 by 20 poultry houses. The lights
should be arranged so that the roosts
will be Illuminated, otherwise the
birds may fall to leave them.
New Breed of Poultry
The Marsh-Daisy is one of the new
breeds of poultry that are attracting
attention among English fanciers. It
Is said to be a wonderfully hardy, pro-
lific breed, especially adapted to low-
lying marshy districts. It Is reported
that these birds are splendid layers
and that they continne as such until
six or seven years of age. Quite a
mixture of breeds was used In their
manufacture, the Hamburg, Leghorn,
Old English Malay Game, Pit Game
and Buttercup all being included. They
come In five varieties, Wheaten, Blnck,
Brown, Huff and White.—Los Angeles
Times.
How Corn Is Used
Of each 100 bushels of corn pro-
duced In the United States, 42 bushels
are fed to hogs, 18 bushels are fed to
cattle, 14 bushels are fed to horses, 10
bushels to poultry, 1 bushel to sheep, 3
bushels are consumed by live stock in
cities, and !l bushels go info Industrial
use. The remainder Is used fur seed
or exported, according to Ohio State
university.
OBLIGATIONS OF
HEAD OF FAMILY
Subsidizing Worthy Sons-in-
Law Among Them?
The responsibility for a girl's hap-
py marriage at the normal time rests
today with her father, not her tiance,
according to Good Housekeeping
Magazine,
William McDermott, Chicago re-
ligious editor, discussing frankly the
marriage prospects of his own
daughters, in the publication, pro-
poses a dowry to help depression-
struck men to establish homes, rath-
er than delay marriage past the age
which nature dictates. He says he
is willing to subsidize his sons-in-
law for the first years of marriage,
for the suke of his daughters' hap-
piness.
"Why," he asks, "should I consid-
er my obligation to my daughters
completed when they have finished
college, any more than when they
have finished high school? 1 believe
it is fully as good an investment—
and almost, if not fully, as important
—to spend two or three thousand
dollars, or more, If necessary, in
helping my daughters, If they need
it, to marry happily during their
mating time, and in assisting their
husbands to complete their life-work
preparation, If they have no other
source of support, as It is to see
them through their earlier educa-
tion."
Mr. McDermott says that the hosts
of non-marrying young men today
depress him more than the financial
crash. He believes undergraduates
In college are too yooug to marry,
but that the average graduate stu-
dent is better off married, living In
his own home, with a wife who Is
Interested In his career, than In a
boarding home or fraternity house.
"If either of my daughters should
marry a man In training for a pro-
fession or business, I would urge her
to study along with him, to act as
his secretary and assistant as well
as his encourager, and to aid him
In every way to succeed," he con-
tinues. "She would be gleaning much
of that which will occupy him for a
lifetime and which interests him
most. They will have a unity or
compatabillty of education which can
only enhance the completeness of
their marriage and add to their com-
panionship. If husband and wife
grow up together In law, education,
business, or profession, there Is a
common denominator of inestimable
value."
Mr. McDermott believes the ideal
time for marriage for a woman is
between the ages of twenty-two and
twenty-six. He approves of college
educations for women, and believes
they should be able to support them-
selves, and to have careers, if they
choose, but not'yit the sacrifice of a
home and children. The present
tendency of society, he thinks, is to
deaden the instinct for home and for
children, and to cheat young people
out of romance and Idealism.
"The problem of marrying at the
opportune time Is not one for youth,
struggling today against greater odds
than ever to get ahead, but for the
parents to solve," he concludes.
Poultry Matters
For round worms In poultry to-
bacco dust is used by some poultry
man. This is used In a mash and should
be mixed In the proporllon of from
one to tTo pounds of finely ground to-
bacco to 100 pounds of mash.

Pleaaant Thought*
All men are glad to have pleasant
memories, but not all are providing
the material for such memories. If
you would look back by and by to
something that you will be glad
you said or did, now is the time to
do or say something which will give
you food for gladness.—Henry Clay
Trumbull.
Be Tolerant
Every ®ne has his weak points;
every one has his faults; we may
make the worst of these; we may fix
our attention constantly upon these.
But we may also make the best of
one another. We may forgive, even
as we hope to be forgiven.—A. I'.
Stanley.
A Doctor Knows!
And doctors use
a liquid laxative
There's a very good reason why
doctors and hospitals have always
used liquid laxatives! You'd use a
liquid, too, if you knew how much
better it makes you feel.
A liquid laxative can always be
taken in the right amount. You can
gradually reduce the dose. Reduced
dosage is the secret of real and safe
relief from constipation.
Just ask your own doctor about
this. Ask your druggist how popular
liquid laxatives have become. The
right liquid laxative gives the right
kind of help, and the right amount
of help. When the dose is repeated,
instead of more each time, you take
less. Until the bowels are moving
regularly and thoroughly without
any help at all.
People who have experienced this
comfort, never return to any form
of help that can't be regulated! The
liquid laxative generally used is Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It con-
tains senna and cascara, and these
are natural laxatives that form no
habit — even in children. Its action
is gentle, but sure. It will relieve a
condition of biliousness or sluggish-
ness without upset. It's the ideal
family laxative because it's a family
doctor's prescription, and perfectly
safe and effective for family use.
If you are seeking something that
will relieve your occasional upsets
safely and comfortably, try Syrup
Pepsin. Give regulated doses until
Nature restores regularity.
