THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE
When the- miracle power of God is
shown, and men are turned to His
Son as their Saviour, there is sure
to be trouble. Satan sees to- that,
He is the bitter enemy of God and
Christi,and will do all in his power
to hinder ar,' if he could, destroy
those turn men’s hearts to- Je
sus Christ.
No church could preach boldly in
public the message that Peter preach
ed on the Day Pentecost, declaring
to- “all the house of Israel” that God
hath made that same Jesus, whom ye
have crucified, both Lord and Christ
and then go on and work a stupen
dous physical miracle in the name of
Christ, without incurring Satan’s an
ger and opposition. A mighty ingath
ering 'Of believing Jews occurred on
the day Peter preached his great
sermon, and continued daily after
that. Now the city-shaking miracle
was going to happen.
Peter and John were true Israel
ites and went together to the temple
■one day’“at the hour of prayer.” At
the temple gate lay a “certain man
lame from his woman’s womb ....
to ask alms of them that entered in-
itp the temple.”
■ . As a little girl in Sunday School
(once said, the lame man asked for
ivrms and got legs. For Peter said to-
liim, “Silver and gold have I none;
bmt such as I have give I thee; in
ttye name of Jesus Christ of Nazar
eth rise up and walk.” And he took
him by the right hand, and lifted
him -up and immediately his feet and :
article bones received strength.
VHow much strength? Enough to i

Stumbling? That is not the way God"
works miracles. This is what happen
ed: “Aifd he, leaping up, stood and
walked, and entered with them into
the temple, walking and leaping and
praising God.” No wonder the crowds
of Jews who came and went in and
about-the temple, and who had seen jM^^man sitting helpless at the gate,
pbWtps for years, and who now rec
ognized his, “walking,, and leaping,
and ^-raising God,” were astounded.
It was a sermon .in’ action, ’’and it
struck home.
A great crowd gathered. Peter was
given another great opportunity. And
in the power of the Holy Spirit he us
ed .his opportunity.
The Apostles, after the resurrec
tion and the coming of ,the Holy
Spirit into their lives, never tried to
win favor by glossing over sin, and
tactfully praising their audiences. Per
ter, like Paul later, struck straight
from the shoulder. He .told the amaz
ed and listening Jews something that
must have stabbed them to the
heart. Here is part of his sermon: i
“The God of Abraham and of Is
aac and of Jacob, the God of our
fathers, hath glorified His Son Jesus
whom ye delivered up, and denied
Him in the presence of Pilate, when
he was determined to. let Him go,
But ye denied the Holy One and the
Just, and desired a murderer to be
granted unto you; and killed the
Prince of life., whom God hath rais
ed from the dead; whereof we are
witnesses. And His name through
faith in His name hath made this
man strong, whom ye see and know/,
But Peter did not leave them
there. He said he knew that they and
their rulers had crucified Christ thro’
ignorance, and that if they would
now repent and turn to Christ their
sin would be blotted out.
But the sermon was interrupted.
While the Jewish people were listen
ing the priests and the Sadducees
came, and the captain of the temple,
and were “sorely troubled that they
taught the people and preached thro
ugh Jesus and resurrection from the
dead.”
Promptly the priests arrested the
apostles and threw them In prison.
But the number of Jewish believers
had now increased from three
sand to five thousand men,
The next 4ay Petei’ and John
brought before the high priest
the council—the same one who had
tried and crucified Christ. The apos
tles were asked; “By what power or
by what name, have ye-done this?”
Peter answered without evasion or
fear: “Be it known unto- you all and
to all the people of Israel, that by the
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
whom ye crucified, whom God raised
from the dead, even, by Him doth this
man stand here before you whole.
This is the stone which was set at
mouth of you builders which is be
come the head of the corner. Neither,
is there salvation in any other; for
there is none other name under hea
ven, give among men, whereby we
must be saved.”
The Jewish council were in a dif
ficult place; they did not know what
to do or what to say. For there
was the healed man, whom every one
knew, standing with the apostles!
They dared no.t punish the dis
ciples—-yet they simply “commended
‘them not to speak at all nor teach in
the name of Jesus.”
Did that end the matter? Not for

LARGE BARNS BURNED
Fire of unknown origin complete
ly destroyed two large barns on the
farm of Thomas Chapman, third
concession of Tuckersmith, south of
Brucefield, late Tuesday night with a
loss estimated in excess of $10,000.
Some insurance was carried. Fanned
by a north wind, the blaze was clear
ly visible for many miles and hun
dreds of- motor cars were attracted
tp the scene by the high flames and
the glow in the sky. Smoke and
ashes were noticed at the next con-
cesion, a mile and a quarter away.
The Chapman family were in bed
when the fire was first noticed by
a neighbor, James McNaughton. Mr.
Chapman had only time to remove
some of the stock before the entire
barn was a mass of flames. In ad
dition to- the destruction of the barn
Mr. Chapman lost nearly all his ma
chinery, stock and grain. Ten loads
of hay swere also destroyed. So ra
pidly did the flames gain headway
that within an hour of when the
fire was first noticed, only the foun
dations of the barns were left stand
ing.

ZIMMER—RAVELLE
Graded beef was introduced on the
arket by the Live Stock Branch,
minion Department of Agriculture
in the latter part of 1929, and since
then has proved successful to a de
gree far beyond the expectations of
its promoters. It is identified by a
red oi’ blue rippled line which runs
along both sides of the carcass—the
red for the Choice grade and the blue
for Good grade. The quality must be
in the meat before the brand goes on.
Graded beef is really the cheapest
meat to buy, foR it -can be eaten to
the last ounce.
There are infinite ways of cooking
beef, some of which are given in
“Beef, How to Choose and Cook It,”
available on request to the Publicity
and Extension Branch, Dominion De
partment of Agriculture, Ottawa. All
the recipes in,this book are based on
graded beef. The following deal with
