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. Mrs. Warren had a cottage on a lake, fifteen
miles from the city, and she had written to the club saying that she

fine company and I hope he asks her."
"I think he will ask his sister, Jane. Carl is always thinking of her and
if she is at home, he will ask her first, I am sure," said a third.
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.
"Come on, Carl," they called. "Here is a letter from Mrs. Warren telling
us we can
