Archbishop Thurston spent the Christ- mas feast at Ripon and chanecing one day to visit the neighboring valley of the Skell, it struck him at once that its seclysion amid the virgin forests was precisely adapted to a monastic re- treat. Rude huts were set up here dur- ing the hard Winter of 1133, and these accommodated not only the small hand- ful of brothers who remained here, but also such travelers who happened to visit for food and shelter. In the Spring of 1133 the new com- munity sent a deputation to St. Bernard at Clairvaux, submitting themselves to his paternal government and obtaining his instructions as to the regulation of their establishment in the proper Cis- terclan manner. A number of priests | and laymen joined them during the following Summer, but the hardships were so severe that they decided to move to Clairvaux when Hugh Soteva- gine, dean of York, jolned the fra- ternity, turning over to it his library and other valuable property. Other do- nations came from many sources until the lands and property around Skelldale stretched a distance of 30 miles. Seventy years after the foundation the humble wooden edifices were re- placed by buildings of stone and during the succeeding half century there grew up on the banks of the Skell that won- derful group of buildings, majestic even in their ruin. For ruin came to them. Henry VIII, jealous and fearful of the ever-growing power and wealth of the churches, drove out the monks and abbots and seized their enormous estates. As for Fountain Abbey, it was practically stripped -of everything, in- cluding even its stained glass windows, metal work, the tile floors and its stone, the latter being. used for dwellings in other parts of the land. In 1854, however, Earl de Grey caused the rubbish to be cleared from the venerable ruins and since then the remains of these once beautiful build- ings have been protected from any further inroads of time and human vandalism. Sunday School Lesson By Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson. SIMON PETER (From Weaknass to Strength). Mark, viil.27-29; Luke, xxii.31-34; John, xviii.25-27; xxi.15-17. Golden Text.—Now when they beheld the bnhl;l;lels of Peter and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.”— Acts, iv.13, Every Christian finds in the develop- ment of Peter's character encourage: ment. There is an element of weak- ness in his personality when we first meet this fisherman of Galilee that suggests to the disciple of the Lord Jesus that if the Master could trans- form the changeable and erratic Simon into the stalwart and forceful Peter, He can mold us until we shall be like Him. If Andrew never did anything else for the Kingdom of God than to win his brother for the Christ, he would de- serve to rank high in the history of Christianity. When Simon was introduced to the Lord Jesus by his brother the Master assured him that he would become Pe- men cou'd have made such a predic- tion con-erning the impetuous, frank and outspoken Simon. He became one of the first disciples of Christ and was summoned by the Lord to join his col- lege of apostles when the Master was selecting the twelve to teach them His gospel. From the hour that Simon gave up his fishing business to follow Jesus and learn how to take men alive he became a dominant force in the apostolic college. While he did not completely understand the ideals of the Christ, his heart was being filled daily with love and expectation concerning the coming of the kingdom. The apos- tles had learned through their close fellowship with the Master the prac- ticability and power of His gospel. They had learned something of the power while on their missionary jour- ney, but they failed to understand the real significance of their tour in heathen lands that took them up to Caesarea. When Jesus gave them the personal test concerning their individual faith in His_character, Peter, speaking for the twelve, proclaimed that He was the Christ, the Son of the Living God. That answer was one of the most impor- tant confessions of faith that ever fell from numan lips. It was the first acknowledgment by men of Christ's Messiahship. It was destined to have world-wide significance. It proved that the twelve, especially Peter, possessed spiritual power to grasp the mission and messages of their Master. In their acknowledgment of Him Jesus heard the call of the cross. Peter did not agree with the idea of a suffering sov- ereign. His protest brought him a se- vere rebuke. He had made wonderful advancement, but he had to grow in his knowledge of the Lord Jesus. ‘Warned of Danger Peter’s confidence in his love and loyalty to the Master had to face an acid test on the night preceding the Lord's crucifixion. Although Jesus had honored Peter with an opportunity to be Present when Moses and Elijah con- ferred about His approaching death upon the Mount of Transfiguration, Pe- ter had falled to grasp its meaning. He opened up nostilities with the holy priest’s servant in the Garden of Geth- semane, Peter had followed afar off when they arrested the Master. In the upper room, where the twelve had partaken of the Passover with the Lord Jesus, the Master had warned Peter that in that crucial hour he would pray for him and that after he had failed, he would be given added power, so he could give strength to his brethren. In spite of that prophecy Peter claimed ;Zlé he would not be disloyal to the rd. Nevertheless the man who followed {afar off and who succeeded through the prestige of another member of the | apostolic eoll?e to gain admittance to the trial did deny his Master ex- actly as He had predicted. When the cock crew thrice Peter recalled the words of his Lord and he looked at Him. When their eyes met Peter could stand it no longer. Alone he paced the dark, narrow streets of Jerusalem, his heart breaking because he had failed the One who loved him and who had warned the miserable man of his ap- proaching peril. When the morning of the resurrection came the risen geh':m had sent a special message to A rumor. John stood without but Peter went into the Tomb, where he found conclusive evidence that Jesus had risen from the dead. From that hour Peter became a strong, stalwart, servant of the risen Christ. He had some lessons still to learn before he could take his place as a leader among men. He had failed and denied his Master. Natu- rally he hesitated to enter, as he ought, nto His service, Jesus had ordered the disciples to meet Him in Galilee. In- stead of waiting until they had seen Him, the pull of former activities was seen in Peter's proposal that he was going fishing. He had failed through the influence of association and now he failed again to be obedient to the fon, | ter g rock. None but one who knew | Fisen Lord, Seaside Restoration. He had fallen back into the old lines that Christ had called Peter to give up, with the result that they had fished all night and caught nothing. This was the sad report that they gave to the Lord, who was not recognized when He spoke to them from the shore of the lake. There was something about Him that moved them to follow His orders to try the other side of the boat. The result of the catch proved it was the Lord. Peter immediately sought Him to request forgiveness. After they had enjoyed the morning breakfast with the risen Christ, Jesus put Peter through another test and restored him to his place among the apostles. Peter had revealed that he was pos- sessed with the marked elements of lead- ership, a weakness of character that would command the affections and ap- preciation of men. Peter had denied the Lord three times and Jesus asked Peter three times if he loved Him. Our translations do not give the important differences between the two Greek words translated love. Jesus did not humiliate the apostle who denied Him. He went to the core of Peter's trouble when he asked, “Simon (not Peter) lovest thou me more than these?” We do not know whether more than these referred to his fishing tackle, trade or companions. Peter had fallen into his old habits and gone back into the fish- ing business, when Jesus had called him to pe a fisher of men. Peter used a dif- ferent word meaning “love” than the one Jesus used. He assured Christ of his love. Jesus told him “Feed my lambs.” The second question was the same as the first and the reply was identical, but mow Jesus told him to i my sheep.” The third time Jesus used the same word for love that Peter had used. This broke the apos- tle all up, but he again assured the Master of his love. Peter developed as he thought out the full significance of his restoration. He learned that love for Christ was the basis of success and would give him power to master all forms of tempta- tion. When Peter passed the love test his place in history was fixed. It gave him the courage and boldness that was needed in the organization of the church, where he filled the leading ploce in the field of Christian endeavor. Love for Jesus enabled Peter to face a martyr's death and gave him the power to become a rock, firm and reliable in the affairs of the kingdom. We can all grow from weakness to strength like Peter if we would love the Lord Jesus. If we love Him we will obey Him, espe- cially the orders He has issued from the other side of eternity through the Holy ‘Spirit. Let us prove our love by doing His will.
