Simon, as his name im- plied, was unsteady, like a great many men of theipresent time who iare'~.c_ontinua1ly jumping from one thingto another. The Lord saw beneath the "surface, though, and hadsuch, confidence in Simon `that He changed his name to Peter,gmeaniI1?. a rock -steady. 7 Many a man today carries a nice, smiling face be- fore his business and club .

We all have our failings and realize it "ourselves, butwe haveionly to take God. at His word as` Peter did to_ develop ourselves in theproper manner. No man'ever started out in the world _with the `purpose of being a scoundrel or a mean man. We would never think of denying the good and pure and noble and! holy when actuated by our best and highest motives. When the soldiers came to take Jesus, Peter promptly smote one of them.with a sword, making the: mistake of thinking the Lordi was setting up `an earthly king- dom. Shortly after, Peter show- ed himself a craven and coward by denying Christ. He lied be- cause it takes a finer type of courage to tell the truth than to knock a man down. There are other ways of lying besides with the tongue. `The man who` listens to the dirty slur or the smutty-_story without mrotest is denying`: Christ. A man loses' nothing by speaking out and standing up for'what is right. Peter dodged away from the place of his sin, but had to tell! more lies to get out of it. and" nally made his denial with an oath. Men today often swear to try and carry conviction, as Pet-? er did, but the habit of, blas- phemy shows a breakdown of a` man s personality. One look` from Christ brought out all that` was best in Peter and he went out and wept bitterly. The Lordi pint backbone into Peter when_ said: Feed My sheep.g Backbone is gotten .by giving loving service at every turn.

While of course any general scheme of land coloniza- tion in Canada by returned soldiers must necessarily be formulated and administered by the Dominion Gov- ernment, the Canadian Pacic Rail- way, as a large landowner in the western provinces of Canada.` is de- sirous of doing its share in attempt- ing to solve this important problem." l'\-iluo 4.1.`...-.
