The Raising of Dorcas.

There Is no reason to suppose that
Peter responded to the request Of his
brethren and accompanied them to
please the Lord to raise her from the
dead. When he stood in the presence
of the mourning disciples and the
wailing widows pointed to the very
garments they were wearing as an evil
dence of their great less Peter was
moved to present their petitions and
needs to the Lord. He put forth the
noisy mourners as he had seen Jesus
do at the house of Jairus. Initiating
the example of Elijah at Zarephath he
cried unto the Lord, and then when
convinced that 1T was the Lords will
he called her to arise. Taking her by
the hand he raised her by the strong
grip of faith in the power of the Lord
Jesus and then presented her to the
saints as an evidence of the power of
the risen Christ to vanquish death. Her

had created in her charitable work
The same result followed this miracle
as did the restoration to active service
the multitudes who believed on the
Lord. so that Peter tarried there some
time to gather up the fruits of his
work. The miracles of today's lesson
are III the pnS siCdl realm, winch have
been repeated in a different manner in
modern times in answer to PRAYER

the greatest evidence Of Christ's pres

and His church Is being exercised by

show themselves to be pattern of
good works. Faith without works is
dead. Religion that does not have a
practical philanthropic side will miss

Christ Jesus. who is still anxious to
restore the confirmed spiritual para

to all that will believe the gospel

Woman's Work.

Woman'S Work.
Shut out from public life and Office in

time within the church. not only q
shelter and salvation, but a sphere
where her services were welcomed and
appreciated. because Jesus had given
to the world a correct standard of vir-

teacher added such graces as humility.

thropic service that supplied the needs
of humanity. With the birth of Chris
tian beneficence came the recognition
of woman's worth and work as a So
cial worker, whose loving ministry for
the sake of the Lord Jesus can be
traced in the obscure division of serv-
ice in the primitive church in at least
two female societies or orders, deacon
esses and widows, that gave to each
woman an opportunity of service. sac

vancement of Christ's church among
men. by deeds of benevolence and phil
anthropy.
Tabitha is the first recorded female
worker named in the history of the
church. whose life and labors are said
to have been full of good works and
alms-deeds." In their homely Arabic
and in their Greek speech she was
called by the name meaning 1.-The Ga

been the favorite emblem used by the
amatorious poets of the east to de-

beauty of face or form, but of charac-

the name of Christ to the desolate and
friendless among her own sex the prac-

and courage to the troubled soul in her

1t was a strange providence that
filled the saints at Joppa with COM
mon grief by the sudden removal from
active service of their beloved Dorcas.
There is no indication that she was a
maiden or widow, but that she was

death revealed to them for the first
