1I.Topio-The bestowment of poe E r.
Place: Jerusalem, The disciples
Jesus Waited on the Lord in prayer for
ten days after the Lord's ascension,
when, on the day of Pentecost, the
Holy Spirit came in great power and
filled every heart. They spoke with
other tongues, and all understood what
was said, even though many different
tanguages were represented,
11I, Topic: Expository preaching.
Place; Jerusalem, To the astonished
multitude that came to the piece
where the disciplee received the Holy
Ghost Peter preached the Messiah -
ship of Jesus, proving from the scrip-
tures that Jesus is the Son of God. He
told his hearers plainly thet they lam
•entente(' Him. He exhorted them ta
repent and believe the gospel, 'Many
received the word and were baptized.
About three thousand souls were savca
that day.
IV, Topic -The Christian life. Place:
Written at Corinth. The Holy Spire
is engaged in applying the benefits of
the atonement to human hearts. He
gives inumigation and comes in to
dwell in hearts that will receive Him.
Ile gives the assurance of salvation.
Ile teaches us how to pray. It le the
worO of the Hely Spirit to bring con-
viction, and it is His work to give
spiritual life.
V. Topic -Tile first apostolic mir-
acle. Place: Jerusalem, in the temple.
The apostles still observed the Jew-
ish hours of worship. Peter and John
went up to the temple to pray and a
• man who had been lame from he
birth asked for money. Peter tole
him be had no money, but command
ed him in the name of jeetts to riee
and walk. The man was healed and
the people were amazed and crowded
about him.
VI, Topic, A tet of religions.
Place: Jerusalem. The preaching of
Peter and John at the temple angered
the leaders of the Sews and they )ad
the apostles arrested. Peter made his
defense before the Sanhedrin and de-
clared the Messialiship of Jesus, He
Preached repentance and faith in
Jesus, through whom alone they could
be seeted. The Jewish leaders demand-
ed that the apostles should not preach
any more. and released them. Tee
apostles went at once to their °We
company. They prayed, and the plate
was shaken where they -were and thes
were all filled with the Holy Ghost.
VII. Topic: Christian unity. elec.,:
Written in Rome. The lesson, taken
from the Epistli to the Philippians,
urges unity and shows that the way
to exaltation Is the way ot humanity.
En teaching .humility Paul refers to
Jesus as an example. He left the glory
that he had with the Father and be-
came a man to suffer and die to re-
deem the world. He is now infinitely
and eternally exalted.
VIII. Topic: Christian fellowship
Place: Jerusalem. Because of the
great intereet.in the salvation of the
people in aerusalem and because ot
the numbers who were there from d:e•
tant lands, it became necessary [01
those who had property to contribute
toward the support of the needy. Many
sold their possessions and placed tee
proceeds at the disposal oE the apos-
tles. Ananias and Sapphire, his yea,
sold a Mee° of land and brought a
Part oE the money received for it and
kept a part for themselves, at the
same time they declared they were
giving all. For their sin they were
both etricken down by the Lord and
died.
1X. Topic: Church efeiciency pre-
treated. Place: Jerusalem. The care
of the poor became too great a task
for the apostles, and then with the
other Christians in Jerusalem decided'
to have seven helpers appointed whose
duty it should be to care for the needy.
Honorable and wise men full of the
Holy Ghost were ebosen, and the apos-
tles gave their time and energy to the
preaching of the word.
X. Topic: An historical crisis.
Place: Jerusalem. Stephen was one
of the seven helpers to the apostles,
but he also preached the gospel. Op-
position to him soon arose, and the
Jews brought him before the Council.
ile maee-his defence there and preach-
ed .Tesue whom his hearers had setae
XI. Topic: A spiritual exhortation.
Place: Uncertain. Stephen was the
first Christian martyr. The apostle, in
writing to the Hebrews, gives a long
list of persons in the Old Testament
times who were able by faith to do
great. things. Their victories and tri-
umphant death are an encouragement
to run with patience the Christian
raee, looking to Jesus for constant
help.
XIII, Topic: Christ revealed. Place:
Southwest of Jerusalem toward Gaza.
Philip went to Samaria and preached
1. effectively and worked miracles. The
tend sent him southward to meet an
lethioplan to :whom he preached Jesus.

of them saw trees of a submarine.
The first explosion did no material
damage, although a curious tremor
eleook the vessel. The captain gave

made, ordered the crew to assemble

London, March 19. -"The agitation
in America for the export of :milk for
babies in Germany is the most dishon-
est and insincere feature of the pro-
paganda whieli Germans have con. -
ducted in your country," said Lord
Robert Cecil, the Minister of War
Trade, in discussing to -day with a rep-
resentative of the Asaociated Press tho
charge that the British blockade was
having a serious effect upon the milk
supply of the Central Powers.
"The charges of inhumanity made
against us would be scarcely worth
mentioning it they came from purely
German sources. However, in this
case we feel that we must not only
defend our good name against such
baseless indictment, but that the
American people, whose generous
hearts led them to contribute to the
Lund being raised ostensibly to supply
German babies with milk, ought to be
protected from such an iraposition.
"In the occupied area of Northern
France there were half a. million cat-
tle at the time of the arrival of the
German armies. Hardly one is left,
and to -day Mr. Hoover's commission
Is sending into that district three mil -
lien tins of condensed milk monthly
to keep alive the thousands of French
oabies whose source of supply has
been taken from them by the Ger-
mans.
"Belgium had 1,500,000 cattle We
know that practically half or these
have gone to Germany.
"These facts throw o, curious light
indeed on German solicitude for the
lives of the infants in the territories
they have occupied. How many cat-
tle are there in Germany? I am in-
formed through sources of unimpeach-
able -veracity and expert knowledge
that the Germans have been most zeal-
ous in the meintenance of their origi-
nal capital of cattle, to such an extent
that probably less, rather than more,
milk cows heve been slaughtered dur-
ing tile war than in normal times. Ger_
many imported same condensemilk
he normal times, but lf. this has been
stopped, surely in the excess of cows
from Belgium and Northern France
could have been used to supply the dee
fieiency, but the very fact that these
stolen cattle were slaughtered in
greater part shows that the Ger-
mans had no tear ot any suit
