The force of assistants together with City Treasurer Harry G.

Louser and his deputy, Hurry Brown, arc kept on the jump continuously, preparing notices for mailing to tax pay.ers and also receiving taxes. City Treasurer Louaer stated this morning that ho is at present cleaning up the odds and end.8 iu his de partments and things are rounding nicely into shape. He feels highly elated over the responsp to recent advertisements in local papers by tax payers. Ho stated that many letters from residents of this city wilh 'only their names have been received. The lot- jters do not contain addresses of the senders, thus making it almost impossible for the city treasurer to comply with the requests for statements.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR Risen Lord Appears to Peter.

TOL'NO PEOPLE AND ADULT fOP- Fellowship vVIth the Risen Lord. 1. Peter and John at the Empty Tomb 20:1 1()). John does not enter into description of the resurrection of Christ or attempt a proof otfier than that thq tomb was empty nnd that Jesus had repeatedly manifested Iliraself to the disciples after the tomb had been found empty. 3.

How they came to know (vv. 1, 2). The Information was brought by Mnry Magdalene out of Jesuit had cast seven demons (Mark Luke Prompted by love for Him she went early to the tomb, "while It was yet dark," "she was last at the cross and first at the grave, she stayed longest there and was soonest here." Her lovp for Jesus was genuine, though her knowledge of Hla resurrection was defective. She could not rest till she had done her utmost for Him because she realized that great good nnd cpme to her from His hands. The reason we work so little for the Lord is that we have such a dim sense of His saving grace.

2. Their investigation (vv. S-10). The news of the empty tomb, which Mary brought with breathless haste, so moved John and Peter that they both rpn to investigate. Upon arrival at the tomb John gazed upon it, but entered it.

John, with holy rev erence, hesitates. Peter, with Impulsiveness, enters the tomb at once. Their respective actions are not to be explained on the basis of degrees of love ifop the Lord, but to temperament. The investigation convinced them. The removal of the stone from the sen- nlcheo, the arrangement of the grave- clothes all convinced them that It had not been done by (in enemy.

II. The Charge of the Risen Lord to Peter (John Jesus put to Peter the thrice repeated question, "Lovest thon me?" Then He gave him a commission. This shows that supreme love to Christ is the ono essential qualification for serving Him. LoY9 is the spring from which all Chrlstinn Activity flows. He asked, also, tp show that there are three classes in the church which demand care and attention.

These three classes need special care and food. 1. Feed uiy lambs, (v. 15.) This first charge relates to those are beginning the Christian life the babes In Christ. The word "feed" means more than instruction.

It 'means in addition to in- Btructlon that proper surroundings, influences and examples should be provided. As, a Christian minister, J'eter was to he an example, provide the proper surrqundlngs and do the proper teaching for the young Christians, those Just beginning the Christian life. 2. Tend my sheep (v. 16).

This chnrg'e shows a different class. It means to shepherd the sheep. It has application to the mature class LEBANON COUNTY TRACK FIELD MEET Fair Grounds, May 14,1927 Esther Fasnacht, I daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.

3. Feed, my sheep (v. 17). ImnlicaUqp here Is that Peter was chafed with the responsibility of coring for aged Christians. The word Is much the same as in the first case.

It means that for the aged Christians the instruction ought to be s.uch us will be suited to their needs. This needs special emphasis tpdny because much attention Is given to tlie young People, but in mnny instances the 614 people are neglected. III. Fpllow Me (vv. 18-23).

In verse 18 Is given a clear prophecy concerning Peter's death. It was to he by crucifixion. Peter once shrank from thp cross, but now the Lord holds! it up befpre him. It not the Lord's dea.th on cross, but Peter's own. He teaches here that the Christian's death is for the glory pf God.
