AGVWANT US to notice first to whom
did the Lord add those that were

first church that Christ organized. It
was unto the II whom he commanded
in his last message on earth to tarry
at Jerusalem until they be endued win
power from on high.-Luke 24;4S-5s.
1t was the living assembled Christ

On another occasion Jesus, speaking
to the disciples, as we find in John

We find in Acts 2:14-37 the first
demonstration of Peter having the keys,
as he breaches with holiness and power
the gospel Of the assembled Christ that
made men and women to repent of their
sins and trust Jesus to save them.

1t was the assembled Christ who sent
down the spirit of the Holy Ghost on
the day of PentecOst
It was he whom the dying martyr,
Stephen, saw at the right hand of God
ready to help. It was Jesus Christ who
appeared unto the prosecutor on the
road to Damascus

Washington.-So far as the Wash

became known that no move is CON
templated in the Mexican situation al
present. The elections of October %
now are awaited here with keen inter
est, and the next step in the policy OF
the United States is likely TO make its
appearance thereafter.
Administration officials made no
comment on the long excerpts of Gen

stood that the administration does not
attach much Importance to the docu-
ment, though there are passages in il
which did not pass without careful
notice.
Huerta's statement that ''the tense
ness OF diplomatic relations was
with the government of the United
States. although luckily not with that
people" invoked little attention, as
the same sentiment previously had
been voiced by the Mexico City of

the enthusiastic reception which Pres
ident Wilson received when he ad-
dressed Congress, and the speeches
supporting him made by Republicans
and Democrats in Congress.
Although the period allowed for for
eign battleships in Mexican waters by
the Huerta Congress expires next
month and Huerta opposes an exten-
sion of time. United States vessels will
remain to protect Americans.
Meanwhile, officials at Washington
