INTRODUCTION.

The Church at our lesson date be-
comes the subject of persecution. No
forward movement has ever been made
which has not been decried and opposed
by the self-styIed orthodoxy of its day,
which has idolized the past. The church,
with it's prophecy of spiritual revolution.
could not be in the world without being
subject to the enmity Of the over-con-
servative class.--We cannot for
get that the church, or what has passed
under its name, has been itself perse-
cutor. The Inquisition, the Massacre of
st. Bartholomew Eve, the persecut on
of Quakers and Baptists and Universal
lists, in New England. are all chargeahle
to SO. called Christians But persecu-
ton, even in it's mildest form, has never
been and can never be, fairly called
Christian. Christ was not prosecutor;
and his teaching of exclusive reliance
on moral forces and confidence In the
triumph of truth and the redemption
and unity of the race in fraternity be-
fore the Father, makes persecution con-
spicuously unchristian. When the So
called Christian Church has prosecuted
it has, in tn 1t act, ceased to be Chris
tian: it has crucified the Christ-spirit
afreeh. The wise choice is the
golden mean between uncharitable con-
servatism and bigoted latitudinarianism
We should reverently receive the i'm
measurable good which comes to us as
our human inheritance; we should have
cordial hospitality for whatever promises
improvement. Nothing should be
sacred to us merely because it is old,
nor merely because it is new; but the
truth, which is forever both old and new
should be dear to us as life itself.

LESSON STORY.

siWhat is the commotion in the
Court of the Gentiles by Solomon's
Porch? Those fanatical apostles of the
Nazarene, who have been filling the city
with heresy, are again haranguing the
crowd. And what crowd! The other
courts of the temple are deserted,-here
the thousands are gathered. And new
delusion is now offered; the apostles of
the Crucifed, who have made the pre-
tense that they have seen their Jesus
alive since his crucifixion. now pretend
that they have, in the name of Jesus.
cured man of his lameness who has had
withered feet and ankles from his birth.
The Captain of the Temple must hear OF
this"
So speaks Jewish Rumor in agitated
soliloquy. within the temple area. And
Rumor quickly enough carries the news
to the Captain of the Temple, = the
priestly officer, having semi-military
commission, whose business it is, with
the Jewish policemen under his charge.
to keep the temple courts free from dis
turbances.

Influential priests and leading Saddu-
cees-the Sadcucees being now the gov.
erning sect in Israel. accompany the
captain to the place of the reputed riot
ing. They stand and listen to the clio.
quent Peter. With what strange fasci-
nation he speaks. How the crowd hang
upon his lips.
What is Peter declaring? That the
lame man, who has been well-known
many years as the beggar at the Gate
Beautiful, has been cured by the Cruel
fed One, and that the resurrection of
Jesus means for the whole human race
resurrection to immortality.
Such preaching troubles the priests
and the Sadducees. The priests con-
demned Jesus to the cross as male
factor; to hear him now spoken OF as the
Favored of the Father is rebellion
against their spiritual authority. And
the Sadducees are angered. their chronic
prejudice is aroused, when they hear
even the word resurrection.
The Captain of the Temple is there
fore urged by priests aud Sadducees to
arrest the apostles. Peter and John
have, they say. made themselves ans
werabe to the law against sorcery. To
pretend to cure cripple by the name of
a dead man is surely soFcery. Yes, they
should be arrested

A Measure of Atmospheric Purity.

1t is generally believed that, when the
atmosphere of room is impure, the
fact will be sufficiently noticeable to a
person OF normal constituencies without
the aid of an instrument to inform him
of the fact. That this is not 80, how
ever, is evident to anyone who remem-
bers how the suffocating odors of an
over crowded meeting room impress
their disagreeable presence on a person
coming in from the outside air, while.
to all appearances. the persons in the
room are quite unaware that the air is
bad. To remedy this state of things a
Swiss inventor has devised an instru-
ment which shows the exact condition
of the air. 1t consists of an alright
glass receptacle. in which is placed red
liquid. A bent glass tube is inserted
into this fluid, and up this tube the fluid
runs. to drop at the rate of one drop in
two minutes upon cord that is
stretched by weight. This fluid pos
sesses the property of changing color
when submitted to the action of car
bonic acid gas. The more of this gas
there is in the air, the more pronounced
the change in the color of the fluid
With this fact in mind. the principle on
which the indicator works is easily I'M
derstood. The drops of fluid. as they
fall on the string. change it, according
to the condition of the atmosphere.
Should the atmosphere be perfectly
pure. the string remains red all the way
down. Should it be slightly tainted,
the top of the string appears white.
The fouler the air, the longer the white
mark on the string. BY the side of the
string runs an indicator. graded to show
the exact condition of the air. The
highest point on the scale marks "pure."

strument has been thoroughly tested
and found to work perfectly.

judges had in their presence one who
did not fear their judgment; never had
thay before seen any. save One, who ex-
hibited such complete self-abnegation
such surrender to the Inner Voice, that
they felt themselves no longer judges,
but the judged. They had seen boldnees
like Peters and Johns once before.
when the Silent One, in divine candor
and gentleness, received without word
their doom to the cross.
In the apostles, who had surely never
learned rhetoric or diplomacy in auy
school, they saw the Nazarene. They
could not question that, in real sense,
Jesus lived in these me1. They took
knoacledge Of them that they had been
Nth Jesus.
Lie was exasperating. also it added t.
their confusion, that the healed lame
man still bravely stood as an object wit
ness for the apostles.
The council, having heard the tes-
timony of the apostles, temporarily dis
missed them; and in their absence dis
cussed their case. 1t was agreed that
the miracle of healing could not be de-
MED. The apostles we're recalled, and
after having been charged not to preach
in the name of Jesus (which charge the
apostles declared they should disobey),
they we're set at liberty.
On the return Of Peter and John
to their own company, to their fellow
apostles and fellow Christians in their
consecrated room, there was unbounded
jubiliation at the marvellous victory
which had been gained by the NAME.
The Holy Spirit gave ravishing joy to
the company, making the occasion a
kind of second Pentecost.
