What were then, and what are now,
the conditions for the forgiveness of
our sins, or conversion?
Verses 14-17.-At the time of the

ties remain at Jerusalem?
What was the purpose of sending

Did Peter and John pray that these
young converts might receive the Holy
Spirit?
Did all the converts in Apostolic days

Nellie was just sixteen,
And she was the pootiest cretur

Had 'em from hear and fur;
But they were mostly FARMERS
None of them suited her.

She didn't know no Ill;
Mother, she tried to stop it,
But you know young girls will.
Well, its the same old story
Common enough, you say;
But he was a soft tongued devil,
And got her to run away.
More than a month, or later,
We heard from the poor young thing
He had run away and left her
Without any wedding ring;
Back to her home we brought her,
Back to her mothers side;
Filled with ragin fever,
She fell at my feet and died.
Frantic with shame and sorrow

That the practice of dentistry has
 immeasurably advanced in recent
 years is amply borne out by the clever
 operations that are daily being eff
 fected in the modern dental office.
 And the advancement parallels itself
 with practical lines rather than any
 thing theoretical In other words the
 dentist possessed of the ability to

 dominated by his theory seldom
 develops in proficiency from the
 starting point. Dentistry is purely
 greatest degree of proficiency is gain
 ed through practice. The more prac-
 tice a dentist has, coupled with nat
 uraI ingenuity, the finer work and
 more difficult operation he is able to accomplish. This is why 1t pays to go
 to a busy, up-to-date dentist rather
 than the conservative man of the old
 CT school. One would be very much
 stunned after an examination at the
 dentists to hear this gentleman say all the teeth must be extracted and a false set provided, still this has been done many times and if it wasn't the entire set it was teeth here and there in prominent parts of the mouth, the
 absence of which greatly marred the comeliness of the patient. The com
 mon sense. busy, modern dental sur geon casts theory and book ideas to
 the wind and searches for the founda- tion for a natural set of teeth reQu1r- ing no plates or other hindrances possessing an artificial tendency. The practical mechanic builds a set of teeth the very counterpart of nature,
 from the foundation, be it two or
 more teeth in either jaw, along posi-
 tive architectural ideas and plans that
 are constantly before the minds eye
 Every kind of fllins. and appliances known to modern dentistry to bring about the most satisfactory results
