ACCOUNTING FOR THE CHURCH,
The international Sunday School Les.
son for January 9 10 1.-THE Coming Of
the Holy Spirit" - Acts 2:1.13.
(By William T, Ellis

Something happened nineteen cen.
lures ago that changed the world $
Gaiendars, overturned the ancient re-
nglons, recast civilization and Great
cd what has since become the largest,
most widely distributed and powerful
organization on earth The skeptic,
the atheist and the ignoramus cannot
deny that fact. There Is now to be
round IN every nation under the heaven
the Christian church. Her members
number half a billion. For seventeen
or the nineteen centuries of her life
she mas been the chief factor in the
worlds life. She has outlived thous-
ands OF other organizations and move.
ments. none Of which has met with the
opposition that has confronted her.
Fire has not been able to burn I'm the
church. nor blood to drown her. nor
sword to kill her. J.
Now we want to know what the
something" was which could effect
this greatest Of wonders. There is a
reason for everything. What Is the
cause of that supreme revolution and
reconstruction which has resulted In,
and been caused by. the Christian
church. $500.
This lesson gives the answer. The
mystery Of Christianity is explained
by the other mystery Of the Paraclete.
the other self of Jesus who came to
abide with the friends OF Christ for.
ever. and whose enabling alone &C.
counts for the wonders of the church.
Without this spirit the church Is both
inexplicable and impotent. Only a
supernatural power could equip that
group Of humble Galileans for their
world winning work.
The Tale Of the Tongues.
How it all come about, ten days af.
ter the Ascension of Jesus, is told by
that peerless reporter, DR.. Luke.
quote modern translation of the
Greek: .s. .. ......-
IN the course Of the harvest
Thanksgiving day the disciples had all
met together, when noise like that OF
a strong wind coming nearer and
nearer suddenly came from the sky,
and filled the whole house In which
they were sitting. Then they saw
tongues Of what appeared to be flame,
separating. so that one settled on each
of them; and they were all filed with

UP, UP, UP GO PRICES
 AND END IS NOT YET

up 20 cents case to retailers yester- day. Some special Eastern brands ad. yanced 50 cents a case.
 An advance of 10 per cent on the original price of all canned fruits and vegetables, both wholesale and retail, was announced.
 Onion prices, wholesale, were from one fourth to one-half cent a pound higher yesterday than last Monday.
 Cabbage went up a half cent. The best cabbage now is sl.75 a crate wholesale.
 Grape prices are from 50 to 75,ts higher to dealers than a week ago.
 The wholesale price of sugar nd vanced 45 cents a barrel. Yesterdays price to retailers was $8.30 a hundred pounds. less a discount for cash.
 Eggs jumped 4 cents a dozen on the wholesale market. The best local ranch stock, offered at 46 cents last Monday. yesterday sold at 50 cents u uozln.
 Cranberries Soar Slightly.
 Cranberries brought from 50 cents to $1 more yesterday than one week ago.
 Beans were quoted one-half cent higher yesterday than one week ago.
 All salad oils were available to re- tailors yesterday only at 10-cents a- gallon increase.
 Apple prices hit the highest levels, both wholesale and retail. Dealers ex- pect an advance in quotations early this week.
 And. as poor consolation to the be moaning consumer who feels each day hat the demon high cost of living Is setting more and more of a strangle lold on his pocketbook, comes the au- hentic information that:
 Tomorrow morning the wholesale )rice of all cereals. such as oats s.wheat, barley. split peas and such. will ad- tance 50 cents barrel.
 At the same time baking chocolate will be two cents a pound higher to etailers.
 And startling further increases in II groceries. perishables, and other necessities would not be surprising in he least. said dealers lastnight. Broad Comes Smaller.
 Averaging all these price advances and taking into consideration that the high cost of flour. while not actually advancing the retail price of bread, is giving the consumer smaller loaves and that the packages on many stand ard priced commodities are growing
