there might have been failure in
that earnest EFFORT, they would
have known that Jesus had His wis

The principle is just as true to-
day; no man will long be in doubt
who really wants to do Gods will

Just as unbelief binders even the
Son of God, so faith in God and
obedience to His command makes
Of weak and poorly equipped men
the mighty servants of God. In fact,
their very dependence on Him for
all things sets them free to devote
themselves fully to the ministry of
preaching and healing.
Note that they went two by

vine plan, and often send men into
remote and dangerous pioneer work

same-the man or woman who is
not ready to depend on God for
everything had better not set out
to follow Him. 1t is a blessed and
delightful life!
The same is true of the power
given the disciples. They minis
tered in the days of beginning Of
the Gospel and God gave them spe-
cial powers which are not needed
in our day.. But it is still true that
the power for service which we so
much need today must come from
God. All our labors are in vain
without His blessing. Except the

Early Newspaper "Ads"
in Special Supplement
In the Seventeenth century edi-
tors considered lads" beneath their
dignity; they thought that adver-
tisements ought to be published
apart from news. And so, in June,
1866, we find the first Advertisement
Supplement announced, writes a
correspondent in London Answers
Magazine.
The paper concerned was the Lon
don Gazette, and here is the editors
dignifed announcement:
This is to notify, once for all,
that we will not charge the Gazette
with Advertisements, unless they be
matter of State; but that Paper
of Advertisements will be forthwith
printed apart, and recommended to
the Publick by another hand"
The first advertisement to appear
in England was that of a book
called 1.-THE Divine Right of Church
Government. 1t appeared in an
issue of weekly newspaper which
bore the following clumsy title:
Perfect Occurrences of Every
Dale, Journal in Parliament, and
Other Moderate Intelligence, Mo. Is,
from Fryday, March the 26th, to
Fryday, April the 2, 1647." What a
mouthful
Advertising announcements have
been discovered on the walls at
Pompeii, the pleasure city that
was swallowed up by lava from
volcano. One of these announces
the opening of some baths, on which
occasion visitors are promised a
slaughter of wild animals, to be
viewed in comfort under an awning.
In Ancient Rome advertising was
carried out by means of criers, who
announced forthcoming sales and
lost property. They also adver-
tised with posters; these were
called libelli, and the information
they contained included news of alb
sconding debtors.
