HysYERICS.

It is easy 10 go into mysteries. AM you have to do is to get excited about some great cause and insist you are right long enough.
 Then when everybody doesn't agree with you, it is quite easy to become hysterical.
 Those who think themselves re. formers usually become hysterical Notice. if you please, that this ap- plies to those who THINK themselves great reformers.
 Real reformers are not hysterical-- that's why they are real refprmers.
 Some politicians and some news paper editors easily become hysteri- cal They are like bulls in an arena With matadors shaking red rags be- fore them.

 21. So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might pun ish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which |, was done.
 22. For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was showed.
 23. And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.
 "A. And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
 9. Who by the mouth of thy ser want. David hast said, Why did the heather rage and the people imag- inc vain things
 26. The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered to- gether against the Lord, and against his Christ.
 27. For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anoint- ed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate. with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, |.
 28. For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

 30. By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may. be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
 31. And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. '
 32. And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul; neither said any of them which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
 33. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
 34. Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,

CHATTER 4. | And as they spake unto the people the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came up on them.
 2. Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Je- sus the resurrection from the dead.
 3. And they laid hands on them and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide. 4. Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
 5. And it came to pass on the mor- row, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,
 6. And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered to- gether at Jerusalem.
 z. And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what pow CT, or by what name, have ye done this?
 8. Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
 9. If we this day be examined of the good deeed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
 10. Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
 II. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
 12. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
 IS. Now when they saw the bold ness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignor ant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
 IA. And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
 15. But when they had command ed them to go aside out of the coun- cil, they conferred among themselves,
 16. Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell 1n Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
 IF. But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak hence forth to no itian in this name.

Like bulls in such predicaments, they usually are killed off sooner or later.
 The average person doesn't want to be reformed too quickly. He has cultivated certain habits of thought and certain ways of going about things, and when hys;erica1 persor begins to show him how he has been a jackass all his life he is likely to take offense.
 That's why so many hysterical re. formers don't make good.
 The real reformer, who is willing to admit the other fellow isn't alto gether an ignoramus and has some good points, stands good chance of ultimately succeeding in his re- form. He is willing 10 improve an existing rotten system, not rip it all out and start something new that mo- body understands, including hims elf.
 Mysteries fail to succeed because the jury is sceptical.
