The book of Acts is a book of facts.
It's value as religious literature con-
sistS chiefly in its historical MARIA
tons. There is power in a fact. Some
persons who are forever Spiritual
izlng all things, and trying to "dra w
a lesson" need to be reminded of
the dynamics resident in sheer fact.
The gospel itself in it's early sim
plicity, was the mere narration of
certain historical facts. Those facts
carrying in their train, to be sure,
a great body of truth-have con-
quered the nations that govern the
world; and they seem likely by their
telling to bring all peoples in sub
whom the good news is told. NO
argument is equal to proved ex-
pertinent Down in the rescue mis-
sions, in the slums of the great cities,
1t IS not eloquence that reclaims men
from sodden vice, but the reiterated
testimonies of persons, who had been
in like cases, and whom the power of
Jesus had made over into new men.
If any company of Christians under
take to study seriously the book Of
Acts, they are certain to be animated
to new efficiency in their own church
work.
The titles of the books of the
scriptural canon are not inspired. The
appellation THE Book of the Acts of
the Apostles" is a palpable misnomer.
for at the outset this history dismisses
most of the apostles with a mere
some men who were not apostles than
to most Of the members of that body.
Peter and Paul are the principal fig
ures, the latter occupying the larger
part of the authors attention. one
commentator has pointed out that
the book is more truly a record of the
acts of the Holy Spirit than of the
acts of the apostles.
First-century Christianity is re-
vealed as of heroic stuff by the book
of Acts. It dared and did and died
that the gospel might grow.
DR. Luke was great historian
Doubtless it was his theme that
caught him up to heights of ability of
which neither he nor his friends had
dreamed; even as men in public life.
when called upon to produce state
literary ability. His subject matter
aside, however. Dr. Luke must be
credited with a simple, direct and
natural literary style. His uncon-
scious illusions to contemporaneous
matters have come to be profound
arguments for the authenticity of his
work.

books of the New Testament were

disciple, with a great friend. Pos
sibly it is to his thirst for knowledge
that we owe the third Gospel and the.
book of Acts. Because of his quest
for truth, his name is forever en-
balmed in the New Testament the
greatest literature Of humanity.
All kinds of characters move
through the pages of the book of
Acts. Its heroes are not demf-go6S,
but "men IN a world OF men" The
sane naturalness of Christianity in
practice is one of the proofs of its
divine origin. 1t is possible re-
ligion.

Withertip Is one OF the worst fungus

be distinguished by the yellow and

OF their fruit, and the dying of their

leaves then turn yellow and fall, leav.

Close examination will show that the
disease Is slowly making ita way

poisoning may start from an infection
at the tip, or from an infection on q

the poisonous effect has spread to

ployed. and many bearing limbs may
have to be sacrificed. To pruno only
