Peter Is N1iraculomsly Delivered From Prison
By william E. Gif'oy, d. d.

The International Uniform Sunday
eied From Prison.-Acts 1857.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-06-20

Are we to believe that Gods power
and willingness to help his own were
present in the deliverance Of Peter,
but absent in the death of James?
No, we must believe that James in
his death, fulfilled Gods purposes
as much as Peter in his escape and
in his continued service.
We must believe also that Peter
was more concerned about serving
God than he was about his personal
safety.
1t is only in the light of such cir
cumstances that we get the right
approach to the whole subject of
prayer. Prayer is not. and never
was intended to be, a means OF get
ting things for ourselves.
1t is a means and method of man s
cooperation with God; and in that
way it is a means of attaining to
the best possible life that God has
for us.

ported BY Manchester, N.

max

Reports are pouring in from all
over New Hampshire demonstrating
that Karnak is bringing amazing re-
lief to people here who have been sui
fering misery from stomach troubles.
The case of Mr.. Francis x. Parent,
Al Marion ST., Manchester, N. H., is
typical of the hundreds received
daily. He says:
"Three bottles of Karnak have
completely relieved me of rheuma-
tism and stomach troubles that had
made my life miserable for three
years. l can move every muscle in
my body now, haven't pain or an
ache and digest everything eat.
Karnak certainly had.a hard test in
my case, because | was in such bad
shape l had to quit work. l couldn't
eat anything, every joint in my body
ached and l could hardly get around. y
emember-Karnak Pills are an
essential and vitally important part
of the Karnak treatment, especially
if constipated.
Karnak is sold in Ellsworth ex-
clusively by Alexander's Pharmacy;
and by the leading druggist in every

same personal exemption allowed
married person, $4,000. In addition,
a taxpayer is entitled to a credit OF
$500 for each person dependent upon
him for chief support if such person
is either under eighteen years of age
or incapable of self support because
mentally or physically defective
Such dependent need not be mem
ber of the taxpayers household. For
example. an unmarried son who sup
ports in his home an aged mother is
entitled to an exemption of $4,000
plus the $500 credit for dependent,
total of $4,000. Ii from choice the
mother lived in another city, the son,
although her chief support, would be
entitled only to the 81 900 eXemp-
tion plus the $500 credit. The
mother not living with him, he is
not considered the head Of family.
An exemption as the head of a
family can be claimed by only one
member of a household.
The $400 credit does not apply to
the wife or husband of taxpayer,
though one may be totallydependent
upon the other.
The revenue act of 1924 provides
that the status of taxpayer relative
to the amount of his personal exemp-
tions shall be determined by appor-
tionment in accordance with the
number of months the taxpayer was
single, married, or the head of
family. Under the preced,ng act the
amount of the exemBtien to which
the taxpayer was entitled was deter
mined by his status as a single per-
son, a married person, or the head
of family on the last day of the
taxable year, December 81, if the re-
turn was made on the calendar year
basis, as most are.
For example, taxpayer married
on September 80, 1924, would be en-
titled to an exemption of $1,375. For
the first nine months he is classified
as a single man emitting him to an
exemption of $750-three-fourth of
the 81 900 exemption allowed a sim
gle person and for the last three
months he is entitled to an eXemp-
ton of $625-one-fourth of the
$4,000 exemption allowed married
person.
If on June 80, a taxpayer ceased
being the head of fafhily-the sup
port in one household of a relative
or relatives being discontinued-he
is allowed an exemption of $1,750-
one-half of the exemption of $1,000
granted a single person, plus one
half of the exemption of $4,000
granted the head of a family. With
regard to the $40O credit for de-
pendent, the taxpayers status is de-
termined as of the last day of the
taxable year If, during the year,
his support of such dependent ceased,
he is not entitled to this credit.

Dear NJ. B. Friends:

Dear NJ. B. Friends:
Some of our young folks may be
planning to give a Valentine party,
and an invitation taken from The
Farmers Wife may be of use to
them:
"On Feb. fourteen, at half past eight,
(Now please don't make it nineD
Come to the address given here
And find your valentine.
| All funny, gay or fine?
So that you'll look like folks you see
! Upon a valentine
One of the finest things l have read
| for long time is the address given
| by Jennie Flood Kreiger at a meet
ing of the Bangor Business and Pro-
fessional Women's club. The speaker
is president of the Waterville club.
Her subject was yourselves" and her
talk inspiring. 1 give few extracts:
She called attention to the millions
| who have lived, now live and that are
to live upon this globe, and men
| toned that all the countless millions
were different. Human beings have
certain likeness, like books in a
| library, which are all different and
yet are books. The trouble to-day is
that we have tried to standardize life.
1t cannot be done. 1t would ruin life
| if we succeeded. It is not Gods
plan. 1t is half of what ails us in
1925. Humanity has always tried to
evade responsibilities, to shift the
blame on the other fellow.
She reminded her hearers that
there were two lives-the outer per-
son, visible to all, and the inner life,
about which only the persons them
selves know. This is beautiful
world; try not to be blot on the
landscape. The American people are
people of action rather than thought,
so we rush too far and too fast along
any new way; do wild thinking and
arrive at wrong conclusions. Yet
truth, once mined, remains the pos
session of all.
We are bit daffy as a people on
this education question, just now.
We are gathering up all the little
helpless children and pouring them
through an educational hopper, try
ing to turn out nice, little, stand
ardized educational fivvers. Real
education is to learn to think and
develop originality, not cram our
selves with pre-digested and un-
digested facts True education is a
life process, not school process.
l wish | could inspire every person
present to begin to use their minds
fifteen minutes a day on intensive
consecutive thought. | doubt much
no idea the will power it will take
or how much your poor brain will
toll. Life is a great and serious
problem for the human soul-a
strictly personal one. What you long
| to do seems out of reach of you-
seems big and grand but distant as
| the stars. Remember, if man but
thinks he can, he can. Life holds
for him no limits and no bars.
A sacred burden is this life you
bear; Look on it, lift it, bear it
solemnly. Stand up and walk be-
meath it steadfastly.
| Fail not for sorrow, falter not for sin,
But onward, upward, til the goal you
win"

operate with any one in a friendly
suit. The suit should be conducted
so that the public will not be incon-
venienced by the withdrawal Of bus
service pending the outcome of the
suit"
Referring to the recent case in
which cross-town bus line was
granted the Washington Railway and
Electric Company, Col. Bell said:
Most of the testimony presented
at public hearings is by Interested
parties, but in this case we had the
benefit of an expression of opinion
by two disinterested organizations
the Washington Chamber of Com
merce and the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations, the latter repre-
sented by Mr.. William NICK. Clayton.
Points Out Precedents.
Copies of these disinterested opin-
ions are inclosed. You will note that
the resolution of the Chamber of
Commerce was adopted unanimously
by the committee on public utilities
and by the board of directors Mr..
Clayton, as you undoubtedly know,
has represented the Federation of
Citizens Associations at public hear
ings for many years, and 1t is prob
able that no other person in the Dis
trict of Columbia Is more thoroughly
informed about matters pertaining to
public utility regulation than he is.
His statement is worthy of very cares
full consideration.
THE decision of the commission in
the application for a cross-town bus
line was in accordance with established
precedents and policies. Considera-
ton was given to the extension of this
bus line to the Capitol and the Union
Station. and 1t is to be hoped that
such extension may be justified in the
near future. The evidence presented
did not indicate that such extension
would be sufficiently remunerative to
justify its establishment at this time,
We must not lose sight of the fact
that any operation ordered that is not
reasonably remunerative must neces-
sartly act as a burden on the remainder
of the transportation system
Col. Bell told Senator Copeland the
commission welcomed full discussion
Of the problems confronting 1t. be-
lteving that such discussion will lead
to more satisfactory regulation by the
commission.
