Sunday, July II.
Read Acts 81 to 4:3l; Cor
l :21-20.
The Miracle. Shortly after
PentccoSt. Peter and John were
going into the Temple one after
noon about three o'clock when
| they were confronted with a beg
J gar, lame from birth and lying at
! the Gate Beautiful asking aims of
the passcrs-by. Arresting his at
| tenuOn. Peter said to him: Silver
and gold have | none; but such as
have give / thee: In the name
of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise
up and walk" Then he took him
by the right hand, and lifted him
up. instantly faith rose in his
heart, and strength went down in
to his unused feet and ankles, 50
that, when he found himself on
his feet, he "stood, and walked ;
and entered with thcm into the
temple, walking, and lcaping, and
praising God"
The Stir. This mighty work oc-
curing in the most public spot in
the .ity. at the most public hour
of the day created Il tremendous
connection within few moments.
Everybody who frcqucnted the
TenYla had long known the lame
hcggar. and so now q vast thrOng
crowded upon Solomon's porch
around Peter and John to whom
their beneficiary was still CRATE
fully clinging.
The Sermon. To the wonder
inc multitude Peter delivered the
second of his recorded sermons.
He assured the people that the
miracle WAS wrought not by his
power, hut in the name of Jesus
whom they had denied and deliv-
cred up to death. but whom God
had raised. and who, through faith
in his name, had given this beg
gar perfect soundncss in the
presence of you all" He con-
coded their ignorance of the
enormitv Of their crime in the
crucifixion of Jesus, but urged
them to repentance and showed
that Jesus fulfilled the Messianic
prophecies of old, as revealed to
Moses and Abraham.
The Arrest. The preaching of
Peter on Solomon's porch attract
ed the temple authorities. The
Sadducecs were particularly IN
censed at Peter for preaching
through Jesus the resurrection of
the dead. It was at their instance,
therefore, that Peter and John
were arrested, and, since it was
now too late in the day to have
the trial. they were imprisoned
overnight. 1t was the first blow
which, in the name of the law,
had been struck at the infant
church. Though some probably
wavcred under it, it nevertheless
turned out for the furtherance of
the gospel and the growth of the
church. Many who heard the ser
mon accepted its truth and be-
licvcd on Christ; in fact, the num-
her of men. who doubtless pre-
dominated in the church, was
about five thousand.
WITNESS UNDER LEGAL
PERSECUTION (Acts ~
Force with it's bludGeon of jcal-
ousy and hate cannot destroy
Christianity. See the courage OF
Peter and John; Cd The test of
courage came so much when they
were arrested late in the after
noon, or during the night they
spent in prison, as when they
were arraigncd next morning be-
fore the Sanhedrin which included

the spotlight Anne had commanded.
Time for shower" Tecla an
nounced.
Anne, who had copied the others
in flaying her skin with the boughs
until it was rosy pink, gasped as the
ice cold drops cut down from over
head. She could hear the laugh OF
others from their cubicleS, hear them
call in Finnish over the low par
titions, but it all seemed very unreal.
Teela appeared at the door of her
shower with a sheet. The towel is

in this"
But I'm wet"
Like velvet your skin when it dries

Anne feeling like a Roman senator,
draped in the sheet. she preceded her
to a little room lined with hunks.
Anne lay on one of these, smiled
at Tecla's insiStance she relax. She
focused her gaze on the rough boards
Of the wall and pretended to obey.
She could feel the sting of Shar-
lees triumph at having won her
fiance. She didn't love him, and yet
=. her mouth curved into piteous
smile as she thought of a caricatured
scene, Crocker, his arms around the
fisheries rather than around Sharlee.
The aching muscles were easing,
the gnawing hurt that the sight Of
k,oI hrar1nhf lffllad
snuggled her head into the pillow.
The blessed realization was coming
to her at least she didn't have to
face others while she watched Sharlee
and Rob; that she wouldn't have to
watch them at all, here in this haven.
Nice map?"
Anne opened her eyes. The others,
fully clothed, were standing beside
her bunk laughing. Liisa's top knot,
triumphantly erect and cleaning with
the strenuous brushing it had re-
ceived, seemed to join in her anluse-
ment.
WAS I asleep?" she asked in sur
prise.
They were still laughing when they

Anne heard soft chuckling sounds Of
amusement, peppered with Finnish
words.
Like a crowd of school girls, they
trooped to a coffee house built OUT
over the water, sat on high stools at
a long counter and drank cups Of
eteaming black coffee, and munched
on frosted cakes.
1t was here the boys found them.

John Neuman.

asked him seriously
Fine" Neuman agreed and Tecla
nodded with a satisfaction that was
amusing to Anne, who saw in it per-
feet confidence in Johns word.

women gathered, cooking great pans
of fish pudding, pots of vegetables,
squares of berry cobbler and boilers
of coffee.
1t was, they explained, festival.
Anne caught the spirit of it and
though she understood but little Of
what was said. she found the laughter
and gayety infectious, and Joined
them.
John, seeing an inquiring look upon
her face, joined her, interpreting their
jokes and the folk songs they sang.
I'll bring mothers books over to
you" he promised, dictionaries,
translations and her notes"
You mean she isn't Finnish?"
NO as irish as Paddy's pig, and
my sister took after her, while L"

laughing.

1t was a brisk day with high wind
piling waves into froth capped bill
lows, piling cumulus clouds into downy
white masses along the horizon.
Nearing the wharf, Anne noticed q

was distracted for a moment.

OUR NATIVE LAND
property.

Carl Goerch, in his State Magazine, says that
the wonders, beauties, and enjoyments offered
by the paradise of peaks in Western North Caro-
lima are far more greatly appreciated by out
sders than by North Carolinians themselves
This is only partly true, since we, who grew up
amongst this show of majestic nature at it's best,
often do not exclaim to the extent guests
do but down within our deepest consciousness,
without exception, we all love our hills and
mountains far more than any outsiders could
imagine. Just take us "down the country" for
few months or year, and then bring us back,
if anyone wants to see how human beings regis
ter real Joy and happiness!
1t is true that one-half of our state knows
little about the other half Many of us have
never been to the seashore, and many Eastern
North Carolinians have never been to the noun
tains. It would be well for us to follow Mr.
Goerch's suggestion and visit back and forth
with each other before we start visiting the
show places of other states and other lands
Speaking of our scenery, Mr.. 'Goerch says:
Those who have never witnessed the gorge
Gus mountain scenery-aWesome peaks, lovely
valleys, ripping streams crashing waterfalls
and lovely flowers and foliage-will be stagger-
ed by the magnifcence Of the display.
Commenting on his statement, Mr. Miller, of
the Charlotte Observer, says:
Goerch's counsel should be needed by the
people of Eastern North Carolina especially.
They need not only to see what nature has
done for this other half of their State but also,
to broaden their horizons and come into more
understanding view of the social, political and
economic judgments of their neighbors.

Lansing fire started, but the way it started had
nothing to do with the damages it did to the
town and to the owners of the property there.
It is instead warning to the public to keep
ever vigilant to the dangers that Turk in all
buildings that are not fre-proof and even then
fre-proof buildings burn.
Through carelessness West Jefferson came near
having similar experience in the day time,
about three weeks ago.
But every bitter is said to have its sweet
and just as Sparta rebuilt bigger and better
from it's fire of four years ago, Lansing citizens
can rebuild and emerge an even better town
than they were before Sunday night, June H.
1886, and profound thanks should be given that
there was no loss of life along with the loss of
property.

WOMEN TAKE A HAND

The two women on the Laurel may have
made themselves unpopular with the owners of
the still they cut down there last week, but the
law-abiding citizens who know from experience
in their own homes of the evils of liquor will
and already have given them vote of thanks.
It is pity that only two women went to do
this mans work. If it had been done as it should
have been, the entire community would have
gone with them, and when we reach that ideal
state of affairs, there will be no more stills to
destroy.
