‘Die soldiers of the First World wu- had a queer phrase, "Sticking u," A padre once preached on Judges 8:4, "Faint Yet pursuing," and when a soldier w asked about the tent, hei-replied “Fed up, but stiokin! it" - I ‘

Tludaey to the soldier's secret y" taiknow what it meant to "stick it" in the face of the foe. And the difference ‘ th veteran and .the raw recruit was not a difference in purpose, but in this, that the veteran had proven himself in the actual test of battle, while the other did not yet know what he had it in him to do. ,

These men were not afraid’ of wounds or death. but they were afraid of being afraid. The worst calamity that could overtake them was to,be seized with panic when the dread moment arrived. One of the bravest of themremarked after his first turn in the trenches. "Now that I know that I can stand it. l am ready for anything that comes along." He had proven himself under In be knew that he aelsld "stick it." '

Swept by Panic

Peter's denials were just a fail- ure to "stick it." No man ever entered a conflict with a more earnest intent to stand firm than Peter did. From the depths of his soul he meant what he said in Mark 14:31, "Ii I must die with you, 1 will not deny you." But when he saw his Master arrested panic overwhelmed him and he did the very thing he had sworn that he would never do.

This has happened with whole battalions and even armies as well as with individuals when an un- expected terror swept down upon them, If it be possible with men trained, armed, organized. sup- ported at every point and under a command in which they had confi- dence. how much more might it happen with a man untrained. un- armed, in circumstances strange and new. deprived of his leader and wlthout- ever having been ac- customed to act for himself. Add to that a refusal to make any pre- paration for an emergency, and you have Peter's case to a nicety. There could have been only one result- confusion and then terror and dis- may, and then the loss of all com- mand of himself. a

Note the following respects in which lie ribliy prepared for fail- ure.

He refused to listen to Jesus’ pre- dictions of His approaching pas- sion. (Mark 8:32). To him it was unthinkable that the Messiah should suffer. an idea shared by all around him. '

‘ Failed To Prepare

l-le failed‘ to prepare for-an em-

ergency. While his Master pray-

ed in Gethsemane . Peter slept. (Mark 14:31). Jesus‘ admonition. "Watch and prey that you may not enter into tentptstionl’, left Peter cold: he law no need of it.

Hence, when the blow fell, he was unprepared for it.

The lesson of Peter's failure is not for the man who intends to do wrong and pleas wickedness delib-

e erately; vit is for the person who

never meant to do wrong but who is in danger of being trapped into it. The-average abandoned sinner never intended to go into the evil which ultimately he made his por- tion; either he fell into it through carelessness or was trapped into it by others. We livefin an evil world. Often the easy way out of a diffi- culty is to compromise our prin- ciples or do some evil thing. We persuade ourselves that it-will be only this once; then we find our- selves committed to evil, ‘and one step downward leads to another. Then, as with Peter, the spirit may be willing but the flesh is weak: There is only one way out. "Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation." If the wrong has been done, do as Peter did-break with the wrong at once no matter what the consequences. It is easier now than it ever will be again. ,

First Gospeller

Peter was a man with great poa- sibiiitics. He originated a new type of literature—-the Gospels, the most creative records ever written. The Gospel of Mark. the earliest of the four, is Mark's record of Peter's teaching, and the other three followed largely his lead. For all time Peter is the ‘outstanding example cf the Spirit-filled; no preacher has ever surpassed the effectiveness of his sermon on the Day of Pentecost. He was the first to bring a Gentile into the. Church (Acts 10) and so start Christianity on its world-embracing career. There is no limit to the possibilities of the one who gives himself unreservedly to Christ, who when He makes mistakes turns im- mediately to Christ for pardon and restoration, and who opens his soul to Christ's Spirit.

It never pays to refuse to face a situation, to cry “Peace! Peace!” when there is no peace, and to soothe ourselves with the assur- ance thst the future will be as the past has been. The parable of the Ten Virgins teaches that reserves are necessary, that the unexpected will make demands which our ord- inary resources cannot meet, and that Christ's way is to prepare our- selves for whatever may befall and to keep close to Him whose will

rules all.

Career Women Gives Advice

WASHINGTON, April 8 — (C?) Mrs. Katharine St. George. a career woman if ever there was one, says a woman's ao- tive political or business life should wait until her children are 10 years old. Th; vivacious, middle-aged Re- publican from New York, elected last November to her second term in the House of Representatives. told a student group recently.

"If we sacrifice our children's infant years to any career, no mat- ter how successful and useful, we are doing them and ourselves an inoperable injustice.

“However, in a very few short

and we must have the courage and intelligence to untle the apron strinll. to let these children of ours stand on theis- own feet and to strike outand have lives and careers cd their own."

Educated Aboard

Mrs. St. George, born in Britain of Almcrican parents, was educat- ed in Europe. She married George Baker St. George in 191'! and they have one daughter. .

At her home in Tuxedo Park, N.Y., Mrs. St. George took an ac- tive interest in community affairs. She was a member of the town board for lii years, of the board of education for 20 years, of the lo- cal Red Cross chapter for 80 years. She is vice-president and treas- urer uf the St. George Coal Com- pany of New York, a member of theNtw York state agricultural society, the Orange county home bureau and the county “ ‘ of commerce. I

11hr many years shr has played a prominent rolq in politics and, at one time, was the only woman chairman of a Republican county- oosrunittee in New Ytv-k slate.

The great danger in reconciling marriage and a career comes when women exaggerate the im- portance of their work. she says. They talk shop continuously . . . It ll well to sly to oneself that however fascinating our work snaybetounitrnsybeunints-
