PETER HEALING TILE SICK.

PETER HEALING THE SICK.
The international Sunday school lesson
for April 13 is found in Acts tx, 32-43.
The golden text is the thirty-fourth
verse. The lesson opens with the state
ment that Peter went to the saints
which dwell in LYDIA. He was passing
from place to place doing his Masters
work in caring for all who were in need.
In verses 80 and "a we hear him say:
Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee
whole; arise and make thy bed"
FINDING one who had kept his bed
eight years, being sick with palsy he
thus addressed him. and Immediately he
was whole, for Jesus Christ at the right
hand of the Father is the very same
compassionate. ail-rOwerfuI Savior as
when on earth He went about healing the
sick and His redeemed ones are here to
make that great fact manifest ''And all
that dwelt at LYDIA and Saron saw him
and turned to the Lord"
At Joppa lived disciple named Tabi-
ina She, like her Lord, lived for others
ana for the good which He might be
pleased to accomplish through her and
IN her active, self-denying life God was
manifest. Some only talk of what they
would do if they could but this woman
dld what she could, the Lord working
through her. In the midst of her busy
lie sickness came, and the enemy, DEATH
was permitted to touch her LYDIA be-
ing near to Joppa and the disciples at
Joppa having heard of the Lord working
through Peter at LYDIA they send for
MIN urging him to come quickly to them,
which he did, and he soon found himself
IN the midst of a lot of weeping friends
Peter FASTENED to obey the call and
entering the house he knelt down and
prayed. Then turning to the body and
calling her name, she operTd her ewes
and seeing Peter she sat up.
And he gave her his hand and lifted
her up, and when he had called the
saints and widows presented her alive"

Thus in these two cases of God work
ing through Peter one result was that
many in each place believed in the Lord
In the case of many sick ones who de-
sire health. and claim, as they say, the
result of the prayer of faith there is
often no desire that others should be
LED TO believe in the Lord or that they
themselves should live henceforth wholly
for Him, but merely desire for their
own personal comfort and to be rid of
their afflicton.

with SIMON, the tanner God was glori-
ned IN Peter. He does not want work

housekeeping with the same enthusiasm
that men put into their business? One
reason is that so few girls are ever
taught now to care for a home in
businesslike and intelligent manner ana
so work all their lives at disadvantage,
doing work in the hardest way and
Ignoring a hundred economies and
methods which would make their work
easier and more pleasant. We will put
it this way-the average American girl
IS allowed too much liberty, is not SEN
sibly and practically trained and IS
taught that the chief end of her ex-
istence is to secure some man who will
take care Of her and provide for all her
wants. Reform on these lines is needed
not only for the sake of the woman her
self. but for the sake OF her husband and
children.

water can only be heated to the boiling

does not increase it's temperature. Two

on the contrary, can be made much hot
