regret Strove in the old mans
voice. How can you say that?
It's only just begun"
II know. In one sense. But
in another-in my sense, it's
finished. I have done the thing
I wanted to do. From now on
there's no fear for the future Of
the desert. We're past all that.
Ahead lies great work, the great
est work the border has ever
known, but-weu, perhaps it's
not my work." He looked off
into the sunset. $50 I am going
away"
"Away?" The word came as a
dismayed echo from both Nora's
lips and the fathers.
Sitting there the old man
sighed. II had hoped for other
things" he said at last. my
day is done. The Verde country
is in stronger hands than mine,
and I do not regret it. One
get old, Dick. I have seen this
country grow. I helped in the
building of it, and wanted to
feel that after I am gone you
would take over all Of these
lands and carry on. I wanted
to know you would always be
part of it. The men of our
breed belong to the desert.
Some day you will learn that for
us our happiness lies here"
Left alone, those two seated
on the porch said no word.
Understanding
your father was right.
You'll never be happy anywhere
but here. This is your world.
These are your people. They
look to you, they need you.
Your very roots are deep down
in these desert sands. Why
must you 60 away?"
Through the gathering dark
ness he looked up, and the
bitterness of unspoken reproach
rang in his voice. You ask me
that?"
Like a long pent up cry the
words came, then, more softly,
"You remember the old days,
Nora? The days we talked of
the future together? Always it
was you and I. I suppose I
took it for granted ought not
to have taken it for granted
but from the very first it
seemed that our destinies, yours
and mine, were one. It was all
so clear, so certain. That was
because I have always loved
you. Somehow I couldn't think
of life without you. I can't
think Of it now" He stopped.
The shadow that lay so heav-
lily about his eyes deepened.
well, that night we were to-
gether in the cave, I realized
how wrong I was. Perhaps I
should have known it long be-
fore. But rather than stay here,
watching you grow more distant
day by day, knowing that the
old dream could never be full
filled"
Abruptly Dick flung the glow.
cigarette out into the dusk.
THAT answers your question,
doesn't it, Nora?"
Listen, Dick" Her voice was
tremulous and very low. "Some.
times We dream wrong, twisted
dreams as we'll as true. One such
dream I had not very long ago.
1t took away my faith, my faith
in you. I suffered"
She raised her face close to
his. But there never could
be anyone but you. Even in the
darkest days when all the world
seemed an empty, heartbreaking
place, there was only youAor no
one" The vibrant voice ceased,
and again the hand on his
shoulder tightened. Those
dreams Of other days, Dick, they
can still come true if you want
them to-"
From within Solon Lowell
stepped to the porch. There
in the doorway he halted, and
for the first time in many days
a smile Of supreme happiness
touched his lips. Silently he
turned and tiptoed within the
house.

V. Al "While Peter yet spake
these words, the Holy Ghost fell on
all them which heard the word. :"
This audience heard well; here was
the secret of the heavenly visitation.
1t corresponded to the first Pente-
cost.
V. As, 46 "And as many as came
with Peter were astonished because
that on the Gentiles also was pour
ed out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For they heard them speak with
tongues and magnify God" This
parallels similar demonstrations as
seen in the first Pentecost. SO here
was God witnessing as well as his
disciples to the fact the Gentiles
were included in his kingdom.
The next verse indicates the Cen
tiles were entitled to church mem
bership and the rite of baptism.

eth with Holy Ghost and with pow
er; who went about doing good and
healing all that were oppressed by
the devil; for God was with him."
Peter never defeated now because
he never deviated from the one fact,
the everlasting truth that Jesus
Christ was born and that he proved
him self the Christ, that he was di-
vinely recognized by God, that his
works testified to his Messiahship
and that God was with him. If Peter
had not been faithful to the con-
tinuous testimony of Christ, he
would have utterly failed He plain
ly states, "And we are witnesses"
VS.. 40, Al. Him God raised up
the third day, and gave him to be
made manifest, not to all the peo-
pie, but unto witnesses that We're
chosen before of God, even to us,
who ate and drank with him after
he rose from the dead" The resur-
rection of Christ was emphasized
here as ever in the early preaching.
Christ was what he professed to be.
That Christ's resurrection was more
then a mere spiritual manifestation.
He stated that there were men who
ate and drank with him after he
arose. Peter would leave no room
for skepticism.
V. AZ. And he commanded us
to preach to the people, and to tes-
tify that it is he which was ordain-
ed of God to be the judge of the
quick and the dead" This fact was
announced in the Great Commission
and in the special command to
Peter, Feed my sheep" One point
not to be omitted was that there
would be a final accounting that
would take everyone in.
V. 43. "To him gave all the
prophets witness, that through his
name whosoever believeth in him
shall receive remission OF sins. Here
is another important item in a
preachers message anywhere
namely that in the audience are sim
ners and their only hope is in their
remission of sins. No sooner had
Peter uttered these words than God
as seen in the next verse.

Peter breaches to Gentiles, Acts
1O:34-4S, for Sunday, March 10:
This lesson records the Gentle
Pentecost; the occasion was that or
a devout captain of the Italian CO.
hort stationed at Caesarea, Cor
nelius, devout man, who feared
God, who with his praying was lib
eraI in his aims all of which made
him an acceptable instrument in the
hands of God for enlarging his
kingdom. BY means of an angePs
message he was directed to send for
Peter who at the same time through
vision was made responsive TO the
special call from the centurion.
The faith of the centurion was seen
also in his having called others in
to his home to share in Peters mes
sage. Picture Peter entering a
house filled with an eager, expectant
audience to whom the message or
this lesson was delivered.
VS.. "a, 35 "Then Peter opened
his mouth and said, OF truth per-
ceive that God is no respecter of
persons; but in every nation he that
feareth him and worketh righteous
ness, is accepted with him." 1t was
not until Peter had entered the
home of Cornelius and saw these
Gentiles with outstretched arms that
he made such a statement as is here
recorded-it is another instance OF
a continued revelation of God. He
enlarged his former message with
greater welcome, "Whosoever be-
lieveth in Him shall receive remis-
sion OF sins

FINANCIAL LEADERS.
Wall Street Seeks Light on
Effect of New Laws on
Business.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, August 3l.-Washing-
ton dominated Wall Street last week.
Financial markets spent most of
the early part of the week in a sort
of nervous indigestion as they at
tempted to assimilate the gigantic
repast of last-minute congressional
production, including half dozen or
more measures of prime importance
to business.
Sharp Break.
The result was the sharpest break
of the year in the stock market on
Tuesday, from which market forces
spent most of the rest of the week
regaining equilibrium. A consider
ably better tone was apparent in
equities as more time was available
for examination of the bills on bank
ing. utilities, coal. rail pensions. old
age security and others.
The net result was to leave stocks
a point or so on the average below
the levels prevailing week ago and
corporate bonds down fractionally,
foreign loans were disturbed by the
menacing political situation abroad
and gave ground more readily than
business liens. Italian bonds, how
ever, rallied we'll late in the week
Issue Undersubscribed.
Washington was again to the fore
when the bond market learned of the
failure of the Treasury
issue Of 0000o,000 Of Federal farm
mortgage bonds, for which only $685.
100000 Of subscriptions were received
on Wednesday.
Direct and guaranteed Treasury Is
sues suffered a sharp setback, and
after an equally quick but short re-
bound were again unsettled late in
the week. Most bond men inclined
to lay the failure to the Offering
method, which was by competitive
bidding, rather than to any funda-
mental change in the credit picture.

In New York the pound sterling
eased u of a cent to $4.963s follow

In New York the lira was down .04

of slight fractions were suffered by
