DEVELOPMENT OF SPORT IS AIDED P articularly B eneficial to G olfer in A ffording Fa»t T ranaportation. It would be Interesting to delve Into statistics and determ ine to Just what extent the automobile has aided the development of any line of sport, or all Hues. It Is certainly tru e th at sport flourished, but not In all Its glory, before the advent of the horse less carriage. At uny rute, It has cer tainly Increased Its scope since It was possible for Mr. Common People to own an automobile. Big Aid to Qolf. •'The motor car has greatly aided one of the oldest guinea known," says R obert 8. Breyer of California, "and th a t Is the royal and u n d en t pastim e of golf, (treat numbers of people throughout Europe, and especially In Eugland and Scotland, swarmed the links playing golf, but the uutomoblle bus made It possible for thousands of persons in this country to indulge In the sport. Au Increase Is also no ticeable In the old country. "The minutes of today's everyday business man m e worth real money to hint. And he Is one of the greatest devotees of the sport In the country. The ouly reason for th at is the auto mobile, quick efficient transportation tetw een Ills home, the links and his office. There are very few courses In the entire country (hut are uot acces sible to the automobile, and courses to which there Is no other transportation save walking. Other Sports Benefited. ••Qolf, however, Is not the only •|a>rt th a t has been benefited by the m otor cur. Name uny sport, and It will owe much of Its recent develop m ent to the automobile. It is Just a m atter of a few moments to convince yourself of this. Pass the buseball parks In the morning, visit the beaches, the tennis courts. In fact any place where sport la Indulged In, and note the Butoinoblles there. "The automobile Itself, the g re a t est aid developed In modern business, offers a variety of sport th at no one other thing could. Nothing la more beuetlclal thau a spin Into the fresh. Invigorating air, and phyatetmis every where recommend motoring us a great aid to a healthy physical and mental coudltlon. Thousands annually Jolu the ranks of those who are enjoying the beueflts of the motor car In all walks of life." Schem e D evised to End Peril of M otor Fum es A recent experim ent In the city laboratories of Paris la said to have dem onstrated the practicability of a catalyzer designed to consume the car taut-monox I do gas produced hv motor . ars which Prof. Tnndell Henderson of Yi* and others have asserted was a **••' us menace to public health In * row -d cities.

The disciples had been with the Lord for several years. They had heard (Ils wonderful words and w it nessed His mighty works. Various opinions were extant about Him. Since Jesus was soon to go to the cross it was necessary for the disciples to have a definite and true conception of Hltu. In order to help them Into the right conception, He provoked this confes sion from P eter as the spokesman of the group of disciples. I. P eter’s Confession (vv. 13-18). 1. llow provoked. Two questions of C hrist put to the dlsclpleg called forth this g reat con fession. (1) Whom do men say I, the Son of Man, am (v. 18). 1. He first Inquired for the opinion of the people concerning Him. As a wise teacher He knew th at this would help crystallize the view of the dis clplea. The people recognized Jesus as a teacher or a prophet, with more than human authority and power. To day. us then, there la a diversity of opinion among the people as to Jesus Christ. The m ultitudes today recog. nlze Jesus as an unique personality and a t having been a great teacher, but th a t which offends them Is His deity, (2) “Whom say ye th at I am?" (v. 15). This question Involved the personal opinion of the disciples concerning Him, To be able to tell w hat others think of Jesus Is not enough. T here must be definite, correct and personal belief In Him. Personal belief Is worth Infinitely more than the knowledge of what others think, for upon personal belief hinges ch aracter and destiny 2. W hat P eter’s confession Involved (v. 16).
