When the a.utuitui comes arid the harvests are in and the gov- ernors make proclanietions, uie aea soluble in churches and we are very thankful. But every day ought to be a thanksgiving day. We do not recognize the common mercies of life. We have to see •a blind. Man led by his dog before we begin to bethink ourselves of what a grand thing it is to have undimmed eyesight. We have to see some wounded man hob- bling on his crutch or with his• empty coat sleeve pinned up before we learn to think what a grand thing God did for ue whom he gave us healthy use of our limbs.

If a man Is cranky and cross and uncongenial and hard in his dealings and then begins to talk ahout Cerist and heaven, everybody is repelled by it, Yet I have heard such men say en whining tones, "We are miserable sinners," "The Lord bless you," "The Lord have mercy on you," their conversation ieterlarded with such expressions, which mean no- thing but canting, and canting is • the worst form of hypocrisy. If we have really felt the religion of Christ , in our hearts, let Us talk it ; and talk it with an illuminated coun- tenance, remembering that when twa Christian people talk God gives spe- atteAntion and 'writes down what they say : Malachi iii, 16, "Then they that feared the Lord spake of - one to another, and the Lord heaekeeed and beard it, and a book of remembrance was written." Again, 1 renaark, we must bring the religion of Christ into our em- ployments. ' Oh, " you t say, 'that is very well if a man handle large sums of money or ft he have no ex- tensive traffic, but in the humble work in life that am called to the eiphere is too small for the action of such grand, heavenly principles."

The Revised Version says Viet be laid waste the church, but otir 1-19.1'd had said, "The gates f hell shall pi'CvalI aga1nst it."

So the disciples could say to Saul and his company as daseph said, to hia brethren, "Ye ?thought evil against, me, but God nitwit it unto good to save mach people alive." (Gen, 1, 20). When we were persecuted and in the midst of trial it seems very difficult to see any gond in It, and net to see our persecutors, but faith sees only God �R4 is quiet because Ile controls all eeople and all events. These Seat- tered pieachers of good tidings were not the apostles, but all except the apostion (verse 1), and they were 3ust the Lord's messengers with the Lord's message (lJag. 1, 13). If all believers now were ready -10 tell Oth- ers tbe love and glee° of God, Wi- ling Ins salvationf ram day to day (Ps. lxxi. 15, 24), how soon the gos- teirloright be preached to every elate- • 5-a. "Then Philip went down to the city of &merle, end preached Christ unto them." Philip was GM second Of the seven who had 'been ap- pointed to minister to the needy in thing's temporal, and now that Ste- • phen Mid been so honored and pro- Motea lie is also honored SS the Lord's messenger, If we aro con- tent to do the ordinary work of the daily Ilfe, the Lord will , nHis own thee lead us int° greater service. Very belpful words on this are found in II. Samuel ay, 15; 1, Ohron. xxviii, 21. In verses 4, 12, 25 WO get a good idea of the preaching of those days. Tbey preached Christ' they preached the word of the Lord and the things concerning the king- dom of God. As Philip preached the Lord wrought, with end through him, confirming the word with signs following (Mark xvi, 20), and, see- ing the miracles and hearing -the message, tbe peeple with one accord gave heed, and there was great joy in that city. Whether the messenger be the woman of Samaria or Philip the evangelist, if Christ is preached the Spirit works, and whenever Christ is truly received there follows joy and peace (Ps. xv, 13). 0, 10. The adversary who opposes God and exalts himself is always to the front ever since he slandered God to Eve in Eden'. tat is seen in the willfulness and self-assertion of Cain, in the endeavor of the Babel builders to make themselves a name and in all who oppose themselves to God and His truth from Cain to the one who shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, .so that he, as God, shall sit in the temple of God showing himself that he is God (Dan. xi, 36; II. Thess. li. a). This Simon, like Theudas of chapter v, 36, was just one of the great host who magnify theraselves and always find a coalmine. As I write a man in Chicago; wfioni many follow and who seems to preach the gospel, has just given. out that he is Elijah. And so it goes and will till Jesus comes. 11, 12. Bewitching people with sor- cery might possibly describe many of the teachings of to -day which captivate such multitudes. A great following is not sufficient proof that the leader is right, nor are few fol- lowers necessarily an evidence that the leader is wrbng. 13.' "Simon himself belie,ved also, was baptized, continued with Philip and wondered, beholding -the retire acles and -signs." The power of God is able to break the hardest heart, and the fact 'that Simon was bap- tized and continued with Philip after he believed, would seem to indicate a real conversion. The sequel in verses 18 to 24 may indicate, how- ever, that Simon had not truly re- ceived the Lord Jesus, or they may mean that he was not right in the matter of the gift of the Spirit, lf he had no part in Cerist, he cer- tainly was not saved, but if Peter Meant that he lead no part in this gift of the Holy Spirit he was just in the condition in which most church memeers are, and it may have been in reference to serving God that his heart was not right. Simon the sorcerer is not a comfortable study. There is much of himself from first to last ancl little, if any, of Christ even after he believed. • 14. "Now, when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Sa- maria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John." These two who are So pro- minent in the early chapters are still evidently the foremost among the apostles and specially honored by the others. Notice whet it was the people of Samaria hall received. Tbey had received the word of God, aed, like the Thessalozaans, they doubtless reeeiVed it, not as the word of, men, but as it i in truth, the word Q1 God, which effectually worketh in those who believe' (I. Thee, ii, 13). Our Lord Himself said to His Pather on the night be - epee His crecietdkee, "I have given mite them the words which Thou gavot Me, and they have received them" (John vii, 8). We give our • fard pleasure when we reeeive His word. It is to be received with eneeknese and then beid fast and held forth (Jas, 1, 21; Tit. a 9; Phil. it, 16). 16, 16. "Who, When they were come down, prayed for them that tbey might receive the Holy Giteet." They were somewhat like the apes - ties and other believers, before Petite - cost, They had believed, were bap- tized and had become children of God and temples, of the Holy Ghost, but they had. not been emitted with the pewer which all believers need to enable' the to secure the living and true Gott, All who trdly receive Cbrist are saved and bave beeeme • temples t!,,le /(i40:21 I, 12) end Spirit, who dwell in every believer, but it is possible for such to be only babes and cernal (I Cr. vi. 10, 20; 111, 1, 2), and therefore the necessity af being Oiled with the Spiritatuol clued with power to live the lile af faithful testimony. 1.7. "Then lend they their bands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost." ITaving iirayed (verse 15)4 they now with expectation lay handa on them, and the special gift of the Spirit is received. So also did Paul at Ephesus (chapter xix, 5, 6).

ON• E ON ON THE OLD MAN. He was the son of a, worthy citizen and had just returned from college. His father was a brusque, matter-of- fact man, who had no liking for anything pronounced, and he noticed with sorrow that his son returned with the latest thing in collars and various other insignia of fashion. The old gentleman surveyed him critically when lie appeared in his office, and thea blurted out : "Young man, you look like Lan idiot Just at that moment, and before the young man had time to make a fitting reply, a friend walked in. "Why, halloos Dill ! Have you returned from college ?" liehisked. "Dear me, how much you resemble your father I" "So he liae just been telling me," replied Billy.
