and let Jesus teach him? Would he be a follower of the Master and go out in the big world to help win men? A great happiness filled the mind of Peter and when he lifted his face to the Christ, the answer to the question of the Teacher was written on it. So Jesus found a helper and Peter found a task that was worth while. "And when he had brought his boat to land, he gladly forsook all and followed Christ." So well did he follow that we read in the Book of Acts that after Peter had talked to the multitude on the day of Pentecost, there were added to the church, at one time, three thousand persons who believed the word that he had spoken to them. WHY ELIZABETH WAS CHOSEN The Triangle Club of Center High School were all busily engaged in choosing the girls whom they should invite to go to the house party which Mrs. Warren was giving them.

While they were talking, they saw the boy coming across the lawn in front of the school. Every boy smiled and eagerly leaned forward to greet him, for Carl Green was easily their hero. He could lead in sports of all kinds, he was cheery and patient, he was a good student in school--he was an all-round boy and what he did was right in the eyes of the boys.
