He was violent in his opposition to the church. One day he called a noted in- fidel to the town where he lived and paid him two hundred dollars, that he might by means of his lecture break up the revival meeting. Everybody was afraid of him.

Finally they met, and the infidel with a sneer said. "So you believe the Bible, do you?" "Yes, sir. Do you?" said the preacher. "And you believe in God, do you?" "Yes, sir." "Well, I want you to understand that I am an infidel, and believe none of these things."

Peter became a great apostle (Gal. 2:6-8); did great miracles (Ac. 5:15, etc.); learned the meaning of consecra- tion (Ac. 12:1-5); but was not so faith- ful as Paul (Gal. 2 : 1 1 ); died a martyr (Jn. 21:18), and left two great epistles written for us.

Thus, having been brought into a place of love and friend- ship to God, therefore to the extent we walk by His Spirit in that new life, we will have no gods beside Him.
