An Opportunity for the. Small investor
The Oil Fields of Texas and Okla-
homa have possibly enriched more people
than any other discovery of modern.
times. Opportunities were offered the
public who were not in a po.itiion to make
large •investments, but many of whom
have .since become independently rich
from the profits of their original small
divestments,

while each $100 invested in the Fortuna 0i1 Co., Texas, returned a quarter

During the four years I spent in the Peace River country I watched the oil development in all its stages.
Eight wells have already been drilled in and near Peace River Town. Every well has brought in oil -snot one well has been
drilled dry.
Pay oil has been discovered in at Least five of the wells drilled, a record seldom attained many new oil field on this continent,
That oil would be discovered in Peace River was predicted by George Dawson, Canada's most eminent geologist, over
thirty years ago. During' the past five years a score of the 'world's best known geologists and oil experts have visited Peace River,
and in every instance these men of science endorsed the prophecy of Sir George Dawson of long ago.
A valuable by-product of the oil fieids of Peace River is wet gas, from which, by simple process, gasoline is extracted.
From three to five million feet of wet gas belches from the welts already drilled into the gas stratum.
Every man who has visited the wells at Peace River knows that oil is: there, because: he has seen it; but the wealth of the
earth, be it gold, silver or oil, le of no value unless money is efficiently spent for its development.
I believed the g5 Iogists and oil experts of this continent when they said that by drilling deeper into the oil sands at Peace
River the VIII. OIL POOL would be discovered.
Because of this belief and my personal knowledge of the actual discovery of oil in the wells drilled at Peace River I feel I
am acting in. the best '• interests of Canada when I recommend the Canadian people to join with Peace River Petroleums, Limited,
and help to secure the big production of oil for .our industries,

14, 22.24, $2-42. Golden
Text, Acts 2: 21.
1-13. The Coming of:the Spiri
°+Pentecost" was the fiftieth da
reekoned from ikle second day of th
Passover feast. It came at the co
plebion of seven,woeks froth. the Pas
over Sabbath, and ° so about the en
of dtarvest time in Palestine. Th
Jewish feaat of Pentecost was cane
the "Feast of Weeks" (Lev, 2n: 15-1
Num, 28: 26), Then the first fruit
of the harvest were offered tta God, an
so the early Christians -saw in thi
Pentecost baptism with the resultan
conversion of many souls the firs
fruits of the Gospel harvest' which. wa
ultimately to bring both Jews an
Gentiles into the. Kingdom of God.
"All together." The reference is to
the ,one hundred and twenty disciplee
mentioned in 1:.15. e The time of meet
ing was the early Morning. Peter be-
gun his sermon at "the third hour of
ar
the day, . that is about nine o'cioelc,
"A mighty wind."" It was not wind
and it was not fire, but what happened
is compared to "the rushing of -...a
mighty wind," and • to "`fire." It was
a profound spiritual experience, a
reality, therefore, ofa the highest
order, and the effect upon. the .com-
pany of disciples was such that they
could only describe it as wind and
are. it was a tempest of emotion,
exalting salt n them m with
gsuchjoya
and con-
fidence of faith that they broke out
into exclamations of praise and pray-
er, Above all was the consciousness
of .
ower born of
P ,the conviction
' that
Jesus their Maoter and Lord was, with
them in living- reality, a spiritual
presence, en fulfilment of_His. own
:promise.
"Dwelling at Jerusalem Jews."
Jews, at that time, were widely scat-
tered throughout the world, but were
accustomed to come up to Jerusalem
front time to time either for purposes
of business or to attend the annual;
festivals. They were nearly all ac-
quainted with the Aramaic language,'
so that it was not really necessary to
speak to them in different languages.
Peter's sermon was no doubt delivered
in Aramaic.
14-36. Peter's Semen. "Peter ..
lifted up his voicel" Peter who had
recently denied his Master with oaths
,is now foremost to confess Him. Some
nighty convincing power must have
wrought this transformation. So it
,was with the other disciples. There
are now no doubters among them. All
believe that:Jesus lives and that He
is with them,'and are filled with cour-
age and with boldness to speak for
Peter begins by declaring that this
is the' experience spoken of and pre-
dicted by the prophet Joel (2: 28-31).
It is'the pouring forth of the Spirit
of God. Compare also Ezea. 36: 27.
The effect of this coming of the Spirit
upon men is that "they shall pro-
phesy" (v. 18), that is, that they shall
speak with inspired utterance of the
things of God, and that is no doubt
what all the disciples upon whom had
conte the gift of tongues were doing.
Peter proceeds to declare (vs, 22-36)
that Jesus, Nvho had done such mighty
works among them and whom they
had crucified, 'was risen from the dead,
was' exalted to "the right hand of
God," and was assuredly the Saviour
long foretold by Lsrael's prophets and
long and, fervently expected, the ).Mes-
siah, "both Lord and Christ." He
quotes the sixteenth Psalm in which is
expressed the hope of deliverance
from the grave and declares,it fulfilled
in the resurrection of Jesus.
Of that resurrection he says, "We
all are witnesses." It by the ev{
dente of such witnesses that the facts
of history are established. Moreover,
he declares, it is the Christ exalted to .
heaven who has "poured forth this,
which ye see' and hear." Again he
quotes Psalm 110, in which there is • a
prediction of the victories of the com-
ing Messianic king and in which He
is represented as holding a unique re-
lationship to God.
37-47. The Result. "About three
thousand souIs." No' doubt we have h
only a brief summary of Peter's
speech, but it may not have been a
very long one. Its simplicity, direct- h
neas, and power made persuasive ap-
peal to those who listened. They were
Jews educated in the Old Testament et
teaching, who knew the meaning of 'ia
sin and the need of a Saviour, in whose
hearts, too,. the national (hope burned
high.. They listened, believed and en-
rolled themselves as disciples of the t
new faith,
