So Let all the house of Israel therefore

him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus
whom ye crucihed.
81 Now when they heard this, they
We're pricked in their heart, and said
unto Peter and the rest of the apos-

| And Peter said unto them, Repent We
| and be baptized every one of you in
| the name of Jesus Christ unto the re-
mission of your sins; and We shall re-
ceive the gift of the Holy Spirit. SO
For TO you is the promise, and to your
children, and to all that are afar off,
even as many as the Lord our God
shall call unto him. 40 And with many
other words he testified, and exhorted
them, saying, Save yourselves from
this crooked generation. Al They then
that received his word were baptized:
and there were added unto them in
that day about three thousand souls |
~ And they continued stedfastly in the |
apostles teaching and fellowship, in |
the breaking of bread and the prayers |
4S And fear came upon every soul: |
and many wonders and signs were |
done through the apostles. A And all |
that believed were together, and had |
all things common; As and they sold
their possessions and goods, and part
ed them to all, according as any man
had need. 46 And day by day, contin-
uing stedfastly with one accord in the
temple, and breaking bread at home,
they took their food with gladness and
of heart, A praising God
and having favor with all the people.
And the Lord added to them day by
day those that We're saved.

ACTS 2.

% Ye men of Israel, hear these
words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man ap-
proved of God unto you by mighty
works and wonders and signs which
God did by him in the midst of you,
even as We yourselves know; % him,
being delivered up by the determinate
counsel and foreknowledge of God, We
by the hand of Iawless men did cruelty
and STAY: "a whom God raised up, hav-
ing Ioosed the pangs of death: because
it was not possible that he should be
holden of it. % For David said con-
corning him,
I beheld the Lord always before my
face;
For he is on my right hand. that I
should not be moved:
26 Therefore my heart was glad. and
my tongue rejoiced;
Moreover my flesh also shall dwell in
hope:
81 Because thou wilt not leave my soul
unto Hades,
Neither wilt thou give they Holy One
to see corruption.
% Thou madest known unto me the |
ways of life;
Thou shalt make me full of gladness
with thy countenance.
90 Brethren, / may say unto you
freely of the patriarch David, that he
both died and was buried, and his
tomb is with US unto this day. 80 Be
ing therefore a prophet, and knowing
that God had sworn with an oath to
him, that of the fruit of his loins he
would set one upon his throne; 81 he
this spake of the resurrec-
ton of the Christ, that neither was he
eft unto Hades, nor did his flesh see
80 This Jesus did God
'aise up, whereof we all are witnesses.
g Being therefore by the right hand
If God exalted, and having received
If the Father the promise of the Holy
spirit, he hath poured forth this. which

LAWYERS AVOID DEAF CLIENTS
Are a Handicap to Their Efforts In the
"a - '.t" - Courtroom. -.

"A man In the Tombsl for theft con.
suited three different lawyers, each of
whom seemed unwilling to undertake
mis- defense, says the New York Press.
The fourth man interviewed was also
on the point Of declining the case.
Look here" the accused broke cut
angrily, whats the matter with you
fellows, anyhow? This isn't a difficult
case. You ought to be able to get me
OH easily, and I'm willing to pay"
The trouble is this" said the fourth
man frankly. "You are very deaf. No
lawyer likes to defend deaf man un.
less he is hard pushed for clients or is
going to receive q tremendously big
Zee. A deaf man Is 30 very. likely to
queer his own case. II he would only
trust implicitly to the lawyer he would
Dc all right, but that is something he
sefdom does. He cannot hear what Is
going on about him, 80 he flies into a
panic and fancies his lawyer is neg
iecting his interests, and the first

A typical Farson Of long ago.. the
sternly consistent man, who sounded
consciences regardless of conse.
quences, figures in recent book of
"reminiscences. "Old Schuylkill Tales"
by Mrs. Ella Zerbey Elliott.
Parson NJ, one of the early minis.
ters of Potlsville, Pa, was never more
earnestly eloquent than when preach
Ing against the love OF dress. His
wife, Mrs. NJ, who was q. handsome
woman, nevertheless wore very, elabo-
rate gowns, and openly avowed her in
terest In such frlvolities. The parson
eXpostulated against this love of dress
In private. but although she was an
excellent wife, and obedient to his
wishes In other respects, she pursued
her own way, in silk and lace.
One Sunday morning the minister
preached a sermon, on humility, and
bore down upon the vanities of dress
most powerfully. At the conclusion
he leaned over the high board of the
pulpit. his face pale and determined.

congregation, when preach against

Why Colds are D anserou.

Because you have contracted ordinary
colds and have recovered from them
without treatment OF any kind, do not
for moment imagine that colds are not
dangerous. Everyone knows that pneu
monia and chronic catarrh have their
origin in common cold. Consumption
is not caused by cold, but the cold pre-
pares the system for the reception and
development OF the germs that would
not otherwise have found lodgment. 1t
is the same with all infectious diseases.
Diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and
whooping cough are much more likely
to be contracted when the child has a
cold. You will see from this that more
real danger turks in cold than in any
other OF the common ailments. TIE
easiest and quickest way to cure a cold
Is to take Chamberlain's Cough remedys
lhe many remarkable cures effected by
tins preparation have made it staple
article OF trade over large part of the
world. For sale by Fred Long.

Of the convention somebody in the north
half aggregation secured the floor and,
for political purposes, drew a dividing
line east and west, and invited the south
half to get what they could. Under the
circumstances this invitation was clearly
superfiuous, but at any rate he drew the
