None of the Ills (but motors are heir to run escape this new $12,000 auto
mobile trouble shooter, pstiihllahed In Chicago for the benefit of the motor
ing public. The testing laboratory Is equipped with every modern device
to diagnose motor troubles and Is employed exclusively for th at purpose. An
hour'» test under the delicate Instrum ents suffices In sounding out every p art
on the modern car and discovering w hether or uot It Is functioning at Its
proper standard of efficiency.
DEVELOPMENT OF
SPORT IS AIDED

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.
Tin dev li e consists of sn exhaust
pipe * * titslnlng certain chemicals pos
sesslog catalyzing properties which
reduce the combustion tem perature
of tin- noxious gas By the passage
of s ■ urrent of air through the tuhes
the ft nes are consumed before they
enn pass out Into the street.
M Kohn Ah rest, director of the
laboratories, says th at the average
motor car In P aris gives off o n e half
cubic meter of carbon monoxide for
each half gallon of gasoline burned
and th at a cubic m eter of such ga»
renders six cubic m eters of sir unlit
to breathe. In the country the half
cubic meter of gas Is scattered along
half a dozen miles and consequently
Is harm less, he says, while In P aris

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).
Two vital things, the Messiahshlp
and deity of Jesus. T hat which Jesus
called forth from P eter la the burning
question of today. “W hat think ye of
Christ?" Is the question th a t must be
answered by everyone.

C hrist declared His Intention of

dom.
P eter was to have a dtstin
gulshed place In thia body. Christ de
clared th at P eter should be the founda
tion stone In His church. C hrist Is
the chief corner stone upon which the
church Is built. C hrist's person and
Messiahshlp were confessed by Peter
and on this rock (tru th confessed) Is
laid the foundation of the apostles and
prophets (Eph. 2:20). AU believers
are living atones of thia house (I Pet.
2:5). The keya entrusted to Peter
were used on the day of Pentecost and
again tn the case of Cornelius.
