SH SCHOOL VIIL— first Quarter, For Feb. 21, 1909. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. of the Lassen, Acte vl, l-1S> vH, 64, to vili, S— Memory Vereee vil, 86, 66— Golden Text, Acta vii, 60— Commentary by Rev. D. M. Stetrne. 1808. by Americas l-rem Amotiattou.) We have In thia book of the Acta the of the beginning of the church, the body of Christ, gathered from Jews and gentiles by the Spirit through the apostles and others who need as well as the apostles, such as Stephen and Philip, men who were ; cboeen and set apart to oversee the I ministration of funds to the poor, but j who, being filled with the Holy Spirit, j were used mightily In preaching the | word. Our Lord Jesus said concern- | His church, "The gates (wisdom, power) of bell shall not prevail against It" (Matt xvi, 18), but He did not say | that bell would not fight against It j but ]ust the contrary. So He Instructed the prophets centuries before (Jer. i t 19; Ezek. U, 6). There are always ; enemies without but sometimes the ; trouble gets within the church, as In the case of Ananias and Sapphlra. | Now It is a case or many cases of dis- - satisfaction on the part of some being ministered to from the common fund. I twelve therefore called the dlsi clples together and appointed seven full" of the Holy Ghost and wis- i to 6ee to these matters, Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost being what we would call chairman of the committee. The apostles themselves to the word and pray- ■ er, and the disciples multiplied greatly, • and many of the priests followed. So, whether It was prayer and preaching serving tables, the Spirit wrought and God glorified In them. We must be Spirit filled for every i kind of service, even the lowliest If I would truly serve the Lord. Happy , those wbo can look up Into His face j and aay, "For any manner of service . wholly at Thy commandment" (I ' xrvill, 21). To accept meekly and cheerfully whatever He appoints 1 us and hear It or do It "unto the Lord" ' and "before the Lord" Is all He asks ■ of us and to continue therein till He ] calls to something else. Stephen, hav- ( lng accepted the lowly and difficult ( service, is soon found working miracles and so speaking that those who •

heard were unable to resist the wise dom and the spirit by which he spake, i. Such manifestation of the power of !- the risen Christ so stirs the adversary d that Btepben is arrested and brongbt i_ before the council, and false witnesses . lay to his charge things that he was , wholly Innocent of. While he was ber ! lng thus treated like His Lord ttte ; Lord must have been smiling upon e him, for the reflection was seen In his 0 ; face, which seemed to the council like t j the face of an angel, e Being permitted to speak for himself, a I he rehearsed the national history from . I Abraham, through Isaac. Jacob. Jop | seph. Moses, and on to David and Solomon and the temple, and then to the Immortal Son of David, the true tem8 He enlarged upon the 111 treat- " ■ ment of Joseph by his brethren and of 1 Moses by the people whom he was 1 sent to deliver and then accused them s i to their face of being the murderers f of Jesus, as their fathers had been of . | the prophets. Those to whom Peter _ ! preached were pricked In their hearts . | and asked what they should do, and j thousands repented and received Jesus 2 as their Saviour and Lord (11, 36, 37). - j but these were cut to the heart and - 1 gnashed their teeth, stopped their ears. I j cast Stephen out and stoned him to . | death. Spirit filled Peter got 3,000 f | souls, but 8plrit filled Stephen got j stones enough to kill him, and In each case God was glorified. Although the young man at whose feet the wlt1 nesses who stoned Stephen laid down their clothes continued his murderous ■ career a little longer, perhaps when we have clearer light on the connection • between Stephen's death and Saul's i conversion we may see that Stephen, , through Saul, won more souls than Peter. The ways of the Lord are often to us a great deep, but we are sure that "as for God His way Is perfect" (Ps. rvlii. 30). Spirit filled Stephen looked np steadfastly Into heaven and \ Baw the glory of God and Jesus and was able to pray for his murderers, "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge." If we look up into heaven as he did and see Jesus there for ns, we will not Bee onr persecutors nor feel much the stones that are thrown at us. We may . eo see Jesus and hear His voice that we shall be blind and deaf to all else. This seventh chapter may be said to begin and end with "the God of glory" (verse 2) and "the glory of God" (verse 55). We shall not be apt to "walk worthy of God. wbo hath called ua to His kingdom and glory" (I Thess. U. 12). unless that kingdom and glory are as real to us as the risen Christ was to Stephen. This is one of the seven places In ScrlptuEe where we find the phrase "heaven opened" (verse 56). the others being In Ezek. L Matt. til. John 1. Acts s. Rev.

ANOTHER OOLD MEDALPO* THE r PRUDENTIAL ProsBsent Life tears* * Coafmytccshts ' Highest Award for Hs Exbflrft at latcrsatisaal Tsbcrcslssh Cssgrcas. Newark, N. J.— Tbe Prudential Insurance Company of America has just • been awarded a gold medal for its exhibit of charts and diagrams at tbe International Congress of Tuberculosis , recently -held at Washington, D- C. , Tbe exhibit of The Prudential consisted of a series of charts illustrating, in a graphic form, the mortality from consumption in thirty different trades. . Tbe charts are derived from tbe'ex1 tensive mortality experience of the Company, and no similar facta of occupation mortality have heretofore been made public by health authorities, or by other life insurance companies. Tbe exhibi tjemphssizes the vast amount of HI health among workmen, resulting from continuous exposure to the different varieties of duBt, and naturally has attracted considerable attention. The charts are now on view in tbe Museum of Natural History, Central Park West, New York, and they will subsequently be shown in a number of cities throughout the country, as part of a traveling exhibit of tbe National bociety for the Study and Pretention of Tuberculosis, to which tbe same have been presented by the Company. The award of a gold medal by the International Congress of Tuberculosis is in line with the awards for former exhibits made by Tbe Prudential, and for which a gold medal was received at Paris in 1900, tbe grand prize at St Louis in 1904. and a gold medal, also the highest award, from the Jamestown, Ter-Centenrial exibition in 1907. ■arOUrasiriScU; Mother Gray's Sweet Powders for Children, used by Mother Gray, a nurse in Children's Home, New York.

In addition to this large 9 discount it agreea to return the money 7 to any purchaser whom the specific does not cure. It is quite unrsual 'o be able to buy fifty cent pieces for a quarter, but that is what thia offer really mBans, for it is only recently that (his medicine could J be bought for less than fifty cents, the , proprietors agreeing to allow the sale of it at this reduced price for a little i while, agreeing to sell a certain amount. The result has justified their ' good judgment for the sale haa been j something remarkable. i Anyone who suffers with headache. [ ! dyspepsia, dizziness, sour stomach, , specks before the eyes, or any liver , trouble, should take advantage of this , opportunity, for Dr. Howard's specific 1 will cure all these troubles. But if by i . any chance it should not, Mecray's t Pharmacy will return your money. 1 , Tbe specific is very pleasant to take, coming in the form of small granules, and there are sixty doses in every package. It is especially convenient when traveling, and no one should start on a journey without a bottle of tbia reliable medicine.
