church prayed for Peter while he
lay chained in bondage. Is our own
| faith of the sort that would endure
the test of real persecution? Do we
believe in anything strongly enough
to suffer and die for Ii? This lesson
should put iron into our blood.
Rotten old Herod Agrippa, whom
the worms soon got, had put Peter
into prison. This king, and every
body else in his domain, thought
him all-poWerful. Syncophants sur
rounded him and even acclaimed
him as a god. From a practical"
viewpoint, all the odds were on the
side of the proud potentate, rather
than on the side of the imprisoned
fisherman.
In his palace. Herod's sleep was
political fears. Luxury could not
bring ease to his royal head. In
contrast, Prisoner Peter, lying in a
dungeon, chained to two soldiers,
slept the sleep of a babe. Neither
the hard floor on which he lay, nor
the doom that hung over his head,
disturbed his dreams. HE giveth
His beloved Sleep His simple faith
In God impaired to him the peace
that the world could neither under
stand nor take away. He knew
himself to be In the hands of his
Master. 1t mattered little to him
whether he was to go to glory by
way of martyrdom, as his comrade
James and his young friend Stephen
had done, or whether he was to
carry on amidst tribulations as a
teller of the Story. In life or in
death, he was Gods man.
A Punch in the Ribs.
So soundly and serenely was Peter
| sleeping-his life had trained him
to endure physical discomforts-
that the presence of a shining angel
at his side did not awaken him. It
took a solid punch In the ribs from
the heavenly visitant to arouse him:
and even then he was half asleep,
Like a newly awakened child, he
was scarcely conscious of the chains
dropping from his wrists. He had

Indeed, Peter still thought 1t all
dream As he followed through, past
guard after guard, and then out
the great iron gate that opened on
the street. Trustful as 4 child, Peter
had simply obeyed directions. But
out on the street, he found himself
alone. The angel, having finished
doing what Peter could not do for
himself, had left him thenceforth to
his own devices.
Gods providences usually stop
where mans efforts may begin. I
once had a guest who believed ex-
travagantly in guidance. When it
came time to leave, he was off to
his room seeking guidance as to
which train to take, although he
had timetable before him. Surely
the Lord does not want us to bother
Him with the trifles for which our
common sense is competent. That
Is why He gave us brains. His
helping angels leave us when we
reach the public highway.

Peters pondering did not take
long: he would 60 to his own place,
the company Of disciples gathered
In the home Of Marks mother,
Mary. What place in Christian
history that woman made for her
self, simply by her hospitality. She
had been hostess to Jesus and the
Twelve, providing the large upper
room OF the Last Supper. Now she
furnished a gathering place for the
disciples. The talent which she used
for God was her home; and her
example deserves following. 1t was
such friendly, Christian home that
even Rhoda, or Rose, the serving
maid, was of the fellowship.
Rhoda responded when Peter
knocked at the gate-and then gave
delightful exhibition of excited
femininity. Instead of opening the
door and letting Peter in, she ran
crying the news to the brotherhood.
How like a woman!" The disciples
were as incredulous as she: though
they had been praying for Peters
deliverance. they could not believe
their prayers had been answered.
Such is our faith.
Meanwhile, Peter kept on knock
ing; and, knowing Peter. I warrant
that his knocks grew louder and
more frequent as he waited. At
length he was admitted to the
amazed gathering. He stayed the
babble of their questionings with a
commanding hand; and then related
his story in orderly fashion.
He knew that Herod's soldiers
would be looking for him, in this
place first of all, so, after his report,
he made himself scarce. But he
left behind him a story that has
heartened the faith of Christians
throughout the ages since.
