But He comes again when the skies are bright, when successful effort draws toward the goal, and demands of us, “Lovest thou me more than these?” Peter had made the biggest catch of his life. His reputation as a fisherman was assured. His friends could point to him as a successful man. He had labored long without encouragement, but now his reward 1 , 5 L „ D U ? ”' Charles A. McConnell had come. Jesus, pointing to his success, probed him with the question, “Lovest thou me more than these?” We seek reputation; to have a name among men. It is not an unworthy ambition, for “a good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.” Our little world at last recognizing us, we begin to look into the wide world. Jesus comes bringing an offer of a clean heart—holiness—and we must needs choose between our reputation and Him. We may not turn aside His demand: “Lovest thou me more than these?” The world is full of great things to be accomplished; lawful things, necessary things, good things. Peter was doing a good work—so may be I—yet Jesus said to him, and shall say to me, “Lovest thou me more than these?” Our families are to be cared for—and what is so necessary and insistent as the work of the home? O, mother, wife, daughter, filling the busy days with unstinted service, Jesus comes to you with tones so tender, “Lovest thou me more than these?” His work, not ours, is in our hands. We cast the net as He directs. No selfishness mars our labor. It is for Him—His work, His cause fills our every waking hour. Yet even then does Jesus come, pressing home the question, “Lovest thou me more than these?” Jesus must have first place in our affections. More, He must be the center of our life. To give Him no tender thought is death. To call upon Him in stress of need, or grant to Him the unused frag­ ment of the day, is but life in possibility. To live, is love unbroken; to dwell in His very presence. *Herald of Holiness, May 15, 1912. healing touch on my husband anil servant of God.” Dr. and Mrs. Ralph Earle sailed from < ^em l(l(fjio lm ess New York, September 10, on the “Queen Elizabeth.” They are accompanied by September 24, 1958 their son, Ralph, who will be studying Telegrams .
