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.
