THE HIGH PRIEST ASKED JESUS. —

What an array of witnesses

they might have found had they wished to learn the truth ;

here a company of those who had been lame, but now were A Possible

running to tell the story of their healing ; there a band of Array of

those who had been blind, but now could see ; lepers who Witnesses,

had been cleansed ; demoniacs clothed and in their right

mind ; sick raised from their beds, and dead brought to life again ; sad

hearts comforted ; sinful souls redeemed ; ignorant minds enlightened ;

wandering ones restored. It is still the same ; many men refuse to look at the true witnesses for the gospel which are many and strong.

HE SAITH, I AM NOT. — Peter's danger arose from following

afar off.

" I have seen a heavy piece of iron hanging on to another, not welded,

not linked, not glued to the spot, and yet it adhered with such tenacity

as to bear not only its weight, but mine too, if I chose to seize it and

hang upon it. A wire charged with an electric current is in contact

with the mass, and hence its adhesion. Cut that wire through, or move

it by a hair's breath, and the piece of iron drops dead to the ground,

like any other unsupported weight.

" A stream of life from the Lord, brought into contact with a human

spirit, keeps the spirit cleaving to the Lord so firmly that no power on

earth or in hell can wrench the two asunder." — Wm. Arnot.
