Sunday School Lesson LESSON VII PETER HEALS A LAME MAN AcU 3:1â€"4:22 Golden Text.â€" But Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but what 1 have, that give I thee. Acts 8:6. THE LESSON IN ISS SETTING Time. â€" Some time after the day of Pentecost, probably a few weeks, perhaps a few months, and thu3 either A.D. 30 or A.D. 31. Place. â€" The city of Jerusalem. 1, Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. We read in Scripture of three specified hours of prayer, in accordance with which the Psalm- ist speaks of his own custom, "ev- ening:, and morning, and at noon, will I pray" (Ps. 55:17). The evemnjf prayer at this particular time of the year would be at half past foui-. Lama All Hi* Life 2. And a certain man that was lame from his mother's womb was carried. Whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful. The temple was enclosed in three marble courts, risingf in successive levels from the city floor. The lowest of these was the only one open to Gentiles. A flight of steps led up from it to the second, or middle, court, be- yond which women might not go. Thence another flight of steps as- cended to the upper level on which were the altar and the sanc- tuary. At the head of this second stairway, which only Jewish men might ascend, stood the Beautiful Gate, which opened on the temple level. To ask alms of them that en- tered into the temple. 3. Who see- ing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked to receive an alms. 4. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him, with John, said. Look on us. Peter's reply, "Look on us," hints that the man's eyes were wandering, and that his words were mechanic^filly address- ed to them, as such lifelong beg- gars are wont to be. 5. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something from them. G. But Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but what I have, that give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Naz- areth, walk. Notice carefully that Peter claimed no power for him- self,- but he had absolute confid- ence in the power of Christ to do something for this crippled man. Cured 7. And he took him by the right hand, and raised him up: and im- mediately his feet and his ankle- bones received strength. 8. And leaping up, he stood, and began to walk; and he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. 9. And ail the people saw him walking and praising God; 10. and they took knowledge of him, that it was he that sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and am- a/exnent at that which had hap- pened unto him. Peter, ever ready to speak, and now, sir.ce the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, burning with a passion to proclaim the Lord Jesus, and to jSreach the gospel, deliver his third address, accord- ing to the records that we have. The first we find in Acts 1:15-22, the second in 2:14-36. This per- son Jesus was not only the Sa- vior of God, but he was absolutely holy ; his suffering had been pre- dicted by the prophets whom these people believed; God whom they pretended to worship had raised him from the dead, and in the name of this person Jesus, whom they had slain, he had healed this lame man to-day. Pe- ter now pleads with them, to re- pent, to turn again from their stubborn opposition to the pur- poses of God, that their sins might be blotted out. Where Salvation Lieii When Peter had finished de- livering his sermon on the day of Pentecost, the Jews cried out ask- ing what they should do, and three thousand souls were saved. The result of this sermon was alto- gether different. Peter and otheri with him were thrown into prison, ai :he command of the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees. Tiic next day these early Chris- li;;;; preachers were brought be- fore the Jewish Sanhcdrin, wlu'ro sat .\nnas, Calaphas, and others who had played a inon>i;icnt part in the trial of the Lord Jesus not i.'iiriy month.s before this (see Jt'h:-. 18:13). The question which they asked Ihtse disciples vvns, "By what powcf or in what name have ye done thi.'S?" .\cts '1:S. Then Piter, filled wiih the Holy Spirit, said unto thc-in, Yo rulers of the people, and elders, y.

Office Filk Like Milk Tbs analysis of occupation* shows that next to farm people, who are the largest consumers of milk as a beverage, come the pro- fessional and large business execu- tive group. Then coma small busi- ness executives and clerks at about the same level; salesmen, retired people,, skilled laborers and those of unstated occupations follow in order with unskilled laborers rank- ing at the bottom of the table. Farmers Hold Key To Unemployment The Farmer Must Be Given a Better Return For HU Work Or Prosperity WUl Never Come Back, Says Former Chairman of Milk Board. She Flies A Plane To Do Housework May Jean Rice, 18, petite "flying housemaid", of Goldfip.lds, Sas- katchewan mining area, has reject- ed numerous marriage proposals and is concentrating on getting a pilot's license and owning her own airplane. She travels by commercial and private plane on her house-clean- ing trips, which take her to all parts of the far-flung district. Miss Rice went to Goldfields with her -father, employee of a mining syndicate in 1935 and quickly saw the bachelors' cabins required at- tention. She went the rounds with scrubbiu.? brush and duster. Goes Rounds With a Duster A flying prospector engaged her house-cleaning services each Mon- day and supplied a plane for trans- portation. Other similar offers poured in and she became known as the "flying housemaid". Miss Rice, of French-Canadian de'scent, is a brunette with a trace of tan and freckles. She stands Ave feet one, weighs 120 pounds and is every bit a northerner. God raised from the dead, even in him doth this man stand here be- fore you whole. 11. He is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the corner. Here Peter quotes fr,om Ps. 118:22. The argument is that the condemnation of Jesus by the supreme court of the na- tion in no way disproved his Mes- siahship. 12. And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved. Peter is not scolding these men, but he is bringing this strong accusation against them that they might re- cognize Christ as their Savior, and receive the salvation which he alone 'was able to bestow. Sal- vation from the bondage of sin. Who Drinks Most Milk In Canada? Surveys Made By Federal Gov- ernment Reveal Interest- ing Figures French-speakiag Canadians drnik more milk per family than any other Canadians, because their fam- ilies are larger, but Canadians of British or United States origin con- sume more milk per capita than do •those of French-Canadian origin. The daily per capita consumption of milk i-s liigher In farm areas than in cities, being Just over half a pint. The per capita consump- tion in large families is smaller than in small families. The village of St. Romauld, In Quebec, which was selocled for the survey of villages in the provinces by the marketing committee of the Department of Agriculture figures at the bottom of the list according to the analysis of the economics division, the per capita consump- tion there being ...40 of a pint per day, while In L'xbrldge, Ont., it was 0.73 of a pint. 21% Children Go IMilkless Farm families In all areas con- sumed on the average 5.52 pints per day per family, city families Farmers of the Dominion hold the key to unemployment of the country If they could but use it by providing work, and if they could but receive fair prices for their products, said J.

Are You Listening? By FREDDIE TEE Tried To Drive Ahead of Train Aime Gravclle, of Corbeil, Ont,, drove his light truck for 30 feet ahead of a Timiskaming and Northern Ontario freight; train just outsid<j North Bay one day last week. He was able to run off the tracks down an enbankment but the c:igine carried away part of the rear of the truck. Gravelle did not see the southbound freight un- til he was just about to cross the tracks, lib didn't think he could beat the train acro.ss so he turned down the tracks ahead of it. He was unhurt.

OLD-COUNTRY RECEPTION One of the engineering ad- vancements of the 1939 Rogers Spread-Band models provides six individual spread-band dials, each 10"' wide with only one dial visible at a time. This feature simplifies tuning, particularly for women. By spreading out each of the four short-wave bands, from one inch to ten inches, Old-Country recep- tion is now easy to tune in with- out interference.
