Under divine leatieralape II. Under satanic servitude. Unde cvino 4eadersh1p. The apostolic church had become welded alto a remarkable unity or experience end purpose so that men had forgot - :en their selfeihneas and lived for each miler and their Lord. lsrom the reending of Christianity the duty of Ing for ahem was insisted upon. The apostles were so animated with the joy which the resurrectiOn - was calculated to inspire that they mani- fested an analetY and diligence to maintain and .propogate the religion of their Master. The resureetalen was a triumphant refutation of Jewish error. Accordingly the apostles press- ed that fact witb great persistency: tit this happy state, in thia clear atmosphere of love, the ;treat truths of 'the gospel shone out with mar- vellous brightness. The whole multi- tuda.of believers were ;so united in christ that all distinctions were lot. The Ordinaryworldly life seemed to have melted into the life of faith and godliness. The whole body received the apostle -s' doctrine, submitted to tneir rule, committed everything to their ordering. The hoar fervor mani- fested by them at tbis 'time was not accounted for by the lemming- of wealthy members, but by the increase nue enlargement of the grace that rested upon them. Their unity' rested on a common faith, a conimon ideal, a common sentiment. Theirs was a harmony, a union onknown betore. The love of money was swallowed up in the hive of Christ. The community .of. goods was their expedient to mom- rlish the will of God, It was a mar- clious sign of the Spirit's presence seta power, the result...of a supertiatu- eina Being working in their hearts. ...extraordinary times ana circum- stances required extraordinary mons - oda IL Under Satanic servitude. Great grace and true benevolence were sud- denly followed by deception and coun- terfeit benevolence. A deliberate at- tempt to impose upon God and his church was folio -wed by a solemn dis- play of divine pleasure that the grow- ing society might be guarded from be- ing corrupted in spirit as it increased 'n numbers. Like lightning from • a clear sky came the crime of Ananias and Sapphire. . No sooner did evil reveal itself, within the church than the Holy Spirit detected and judged it. Without any heart sympathy with the comniunity of goods Ananias and Sapphireeprofessed to adopt it because It was popular. They did outwardly that for which they had no real re- spect. 'They pretended to be moved by a divine 'influence; not be doing a thing which was pre-eminently the fruit of the Spirit in the hope of se- curing to theniseises the good opinion e the congregation to which they belonged. They desired to have all the credit of the church for acting as generously as Barnabas had. Their act was proof of imarts ellenated from clod. Their purpose was veiled under the pretence of religious principles. 'their sin was deliberately and pre- sumptuously directed against the Holy Spirit. Thee knew of the Pentecost- al gift and yet definitely propoaed to deceive the Spirit of God la the per- sons of his chosen enes. Their delib- erate act proved them hypocrites. Peter's question, "Why?' implied that. resitaance to Satan's influence had been possible. There was apparently no necessity laid upcn them by out- ward eirclOnetances. 'ahoy were not helpless creatures wham the enemy had made his tools. They agreed to igniter to deceive. The deep, sad tome of their conduct was the stirring ef the religious emotions without the corresponding quickening cf the Moral arises.

Barnet Baff. Committee Raised Fund, Unknow- ingly, to New York, Feb. 14.--A grand jury ben to -day to tette, evidence con- cerning the murder of Barnet Baff, the poultry dealer who Was killee by a hand of gunmen in NO -heather, 1914, under eircemstances which have been likened in some respeets to the mur- der .of Herman Rosenthal, for the iustigation of which Charles Becker wee executed. There has been no hint, however,. that the police Were in any way envolved in thieBaff case. It is charged that Bate Was slain as the result et rivalry in ausinese, that a fund of $4,e00 was collected from 200 poultry merchants under theepre- tenee that it was to be used in a legal fight against Baff, and that this fund vats used by a "murder stet:1111g emu - mitten" of twelve men to employ agents who in turn employed ate gunmen who shot Baft to death. Diseriet Attorney :Osman ben:seas he has enough evidence to send to the electric chair four men, in addition to some of the gunmen. who actually did the .inurd.er. The men are eaid to Lave had the distribution of tbe zuuraer •fund. The District Attorney said that if it is proved that • the. twelve members of the steering* com- mittee know all the stops taken in the iniurder conspiracy, each of them would be in the same legal position as was Becker in the Roseuthal case. Many of the poultry dealers, • who aesert that they Contributed innocen•Le ly to the fand used to finance Bali's murder, have voluntarily given infor- mation to the District Attorney, Mr. Swann to -day issued an appeal to the other merchants who eontrIbuted 00 the fund to give himthe names of the members ot the murder committee, 'We know that die crime was pur- chased for $4,200, eubscribed by mer- chants," said the District Attoraey. "It is true that many of those who alaed the fund had no idea the money wee to be so applied. We know that a steering committee .was empewered to spend Um money. We want to learn the names of its membera." Mach of the evidence thus far -Ob- tained by the District Attorney was given by Frank Ferrara, who says he was chauffeur of the automobile in which the gunmen went to kill Baff, and in which they eseaeed after the crime.

Loncians Feb. 13.-A report was re- ceived this afternoon from the Athens correspondent af the Exchange Tele- graph Company that Bulgaria is seek- ing a separate peace with the allies, The despatell acids that the eorres- pondent obtained carifirmation cf 'the report In Entente 01i1003 .101 the Greek capital, 3 StOri is generally doubted here and up to a late hou to -night could not be confirmed-offieially. The Athens correspondent of the Daily Mail telegraphed to -day that he had learned from two good sources that all the Bulgarian forces are retin ing front the Macedonian frontier, lie adds that'Clerman troops are replacing the Bulgariana in Macedonia. This news, together with oteer im- portant factors, tends to dispese of the story concerning Bulgaria's al- leged overtures for a separate peace, Those inclined to believe the story point to the fact that Belgaria bas achieved the one purpose for which she admittedly joined the Central powers, the conquest of Serbia. It is also pointed mit that the difficulties between Bulgarie and Greece have been .growing ever since the Bulgar- ian army reached the Greek frontier, where, together with the Austro -Ger- man eel Turk forces, she meaaced Saloniki. During the last few weeks there have elect ben frequent reports con- cerning a serious disagreement be- tween Bulgaria and Austria. over the spoils of the Balkan campaign.

BRUTAL PLOT. Diners at Archbisb.op's Inaugural poisened by Anarchist. Chicago, Feb, 13. -Agents of the Caned etates Secret Service set out last night on the trail of Jean Crones, the vanished aosistant chef in the kitchen of the University Club, want- ed in cannection with the poisoning et more than one hundred gueste at the banquet in honor' of Archbishop Mundelein of the Catholic Church, on Thursday night. Tho authorities be- lieve Crones is the eentre of a vast anarchistic propaganda. It is thouglit that. Ile may know something of the spies who have been causing so much concern to the Government, In his room in a lodging house, at 2201 Prairie Avenue, were - found dozens ot volumes 01 anarchistic literature and the complete equip- ment of a Chemical laboratory. Bot - nee containing arsenic, cyande of potaseium and mercurous nitrate - the poison said to have been found in the soup -were in great number. Simultaneously the management of the University Club issued thin warn- ing: "The club management calls the attention of the guests at the banquet to Archbishop Mundelein to the ad- visability or immeaiately procuring medical attention." This warning was iseued in view of statements by physicians that arseni- cal poieoning has a tendency to re- main effectiveiu the system for hours after the first effects have passed. The else is fear of the deadly mer- curial poisons which -may have been in the soup. TWO RAIDERS.
