There are more religious orders rep
resented in Maryland than in any other
in the country. This is probably due
to the fact that most Of the religious
bodies have seminaries or a mother
house at Brookland, in the District,
where is the Catholic University. While
the secular clergy controls the university
there are bodies of Marists, FTanciscans.
Benedictines and other bodies of men who
study at the Catholic University.
There are many orders of women in
the archdiocese. and they have recently
been increased by some of the nuns of
the French orders who immigrated to
this country.
The following religious orders have
institutions now in this archdiocese
and are consequently under the jurls-
diction of the cardinal:
Benedictfnes, Capuchins, Dominicans,
Franciscan Minors. Jesuits. Marists, Pas
sionists. Paulists. Redemptorsts. Sui
picians and Vincentian Fathers.
The communities of women repre-

in Samaria reached Jerusalem. the apos-

Der, Peter and John. were sent to con-
slider the subject. The wisdom of such
course at that juncture. when foundations
were being laid, cannot be doubted. II
was desirable that the new movement
should be rightly organized, and in or
der thereto something of the connectionai
spirit was necessary. When the two men
arrived they were received. and they gave
themselves to the matter of chief con-
Germ, the baptism of the spirit.
Bestowal
The congregation in Samaria had not
received the Holy Spirit when Peter and
John arrived. The members had accepted
Christ and had been baptized into His
name, thereby entering into the primary
state as believers. 1t would seem that
this was the usual order (Acts, xiX:2) at
least 1t was the case in one other instance
The people were not yet In the enjoy
ment of their full privileges-they were

possible. to secure which Peter and John
had come from Jerusalem. 1t was deemed
necessary, at least important. that the
Samaritan church should be advanced to
the same spiritual plane as that occupied
by the church at the metropOlis-that the
two bodies should be characterized by
the one quality that were under the power
and guidance of the Holy Spirit. What
was impaired we may not dogmatically
saw. 1t is an interesting fact that the
two apostles laid their hands on the
heads of the people and prayed, and that
they received the Holy Ghost There Is
no record of other service rendered by
the apostles.
Bribery.
The gospel had been preached success

had given full proof of his ministry by
working miracles that had attracted the

save Simon by delivering him from his
sin Hence, the apostle dealt with the
sorcerer in very plain and earnest man
ner. He told him bluntly that he was In
the gall of bitterness and in the BOND or
iniuuity These expressions referred to
the inward condition which was ac-
companied by a species OF slavery. In
ward pollution and outward bondage are
the deplorable states OF every sinner:
Did the forceful personal reference Of
the apostle have it's appropriate infiu-
ence. Did Simon understand what was
saido Did he feel convicted and was he
troubled as he should have been? POS
sibly At any rate Peter followed his
exposure by a bold summons that must
have been understood He told Simon
to repent of his wickedness and pray to
God. that he might be forgiven. This
is the only mode of forgiveness revealed
In Scripture.
Intercession.
Two thoughts came Immediately into
the mind of Simon. He felt his own I'M
worthness and inability to manage his
case and obtain relief-just as most men
feel when the sense OF sin is awakened.
The reason for this is plain. Sin alienates
from God. and one fears that he may
not come to God in an acceptable man.
ner Jointly with this sense of unworthi-
ness there was an appreciation OF the
apostle, as a man of God. one accustomed
to pray. one whose prayers would avail.
This was high tribute that Simon paid
to Peter. He was willing to trust his
case in the latter's hands. There fol-
lowed these two thoughts just what
might be expected. Pray we to the
Lord for me-" he said. That did not
signify that he would not pray for him.
self, but that he desired an intercessor.
Blessed day was this for the two men.
On the one side we must consider that
there is desire for help. on the other
side one who is able to help. Peter pray
ing for Simon is an illustration of faith
full ministry that has been repeated In
all ages.

Simon was delivered from his sin and

result Is a safe assumption. Whatever

Conclusion.
Simon, the sorcerer. was either deceived
or he was a deceiver. He may have
thought he had embraced Christianity,
and he may have supposed that he might
greatly increase his power and useful
ness by acquiring the ability which Peter
displayed. Some have put this charita-
BILE construction on the passage. BY far
the greater number of expositors, depend
ing on the words Of Peter. hold that this
man was an impostor. that he made a
profession of Christianity because many
of his people had done so. and that he
sought the power of the Holy Spirit that
he might regain and retain his influence
among his former followers Accepting
the latter construction. there Is an i'm
portant lesson to be learned in all lands
and ages. The church Is liable to be i'm
