Peter and Cornelius. Acts 10: 1-11:18.

10: 1-8. Cornelius was a centurion,

them were usually attached to a co-
hort, or battalion of 500 to 1,000 men,
but they were sometimes detached for

the sea coast was the residence of the
Roman governor, and was probably
garrisoned at this time by a band, or
cohort, of volunteers from Italy, hence
called "the Italian band." Cornelius
had a house of his own, and a high
place in the regard of the Jews, so
may have been resident there for
come years. He was evidently a man
of"exceptionally fine charas"ter, de-

37.) In the vision which came to him
he was instructed to invite Peter to
visit him.
9-16. Peter "fell into a trance." The
house -top, flat and easily reached in
oriental houses, was a favorite resort
for prayer. In a trance, or day -dream,
while he waited for the food which
they prepared for him, he saw a vision
which touched very closely hie Jewish
prejudices and traditions. The ancient
law which it ,had been an essential
part of his religion to observe, for-
bade the use -of certain kinds of meat
(See Deut. 14.) But the vision bade
him put aside that law, when that
which was set before him Gor had
made clean. The old law and custom
had its value, but Peter has to learn
that there is a higher law. Thus he
is prepared for the coming of the mes-
sengers and the invitation of Corne-
lius. Compare Mark 7: 14-23.
30-42 God is no Respecter of Per-
sons,. The gist only of Peter's speeoh
is given. He must have spoken at
much greater length. He begins with
a very humble and sincere confession
of the truth which he has learned. It
is not race, orb lood, or color, or cus-
toms and forms of religious practice,
that make a man acceptable to God.
The Old Testament itself might have

had not been obscured by the em-

Psalm 51: 16-17, and especially
Psalms 15 and 24. Compare also Rom.
3: 29.
The Word Which He Sent (v. 36)
is the gospel message; the substance
of which is the story of Jesus of
Nazareth, bow that God anointed him
with the Holy Ghost and with power
(v. 38.) Peter assumes that they
have heard the story, and declares
that Jesus, who was crucified, is risen
again from the dead. And, he said,
"We are witnesses." "We saw what
He did in the country of the Jews and
in Jerusalem. We witnessed His
death. We saw Him and ate
and drank with Him iter He
rose from the dead: His conling was
foretold by the ,prophets. To every-
one that believeth in Him, his sins
shall be forgiven." Upon the little
company listening with rapt attention
'came down manifestations of the Spir-
it's power,. for Peter and those who
were with him "heard them • speak
with tongues' arid magnify Gel".
11: 1-18. When Peter was come iii
to Jerusalem and genet Jews found
fault with him for what he had done,
he simply told the story, sharing his
wonderful and .convincing experience
with theni. What could the narrow-
minded fault finders do but hold their
peace and give thanks to God ?

Making the, ountry Stare Work
for the Farmer.
One chilly fall day es typewriter
salesman steppedoff at a country •
railroad junction, with a couple of
hours' wait aheed of him. There was 1
no town there at all—just one rambl-
ing general store. 'The storekeeper
had opened a big box and was taking
out horse blankets, The salesman
watched him.
"Have, you got any printed; letter-
heads?" he asked suddenly.
`.`Yes. Why?". said the merchant,
"I believe I can help you sell those
horse blankets," replied the salesman,
He lied a sample typewriter. Sitting
down with some carbon sheets he
quickly wrote twenty-five letters to
farmers whose names were given him
by the storekeeper. He told them
that a new load of horse blankets had
come in, named the prices, and re-
minded Talks that it was humane and
alae good business to look after a
horse's comfort.
"When I come back this way next
month, am going to ask you to buy
a typewriter," announced the sales-
man, "I am sure- those letters will
make you want one."
r
Sea era' weeks later the storekeeper
was waiting with a typewriter order,
for the letters had brought him
several hundred dollars' worth. of
trade. Farmers had never gat a bu'si-'
ness letter from him before. They
came in to buy horse blankets on his
friendly tip, and also bought other
jhings,
For fifteen years or more the coun-
try general store has been ailing.
Until lately country storekeepers, be-
lieved that the trouble was price
competition of mail-order houses "e --
many still believe it.
But now it is gradually becoming
clear that competition is not a matter
of prices at all, but of service to
farmers. Here and: there over the
country the storekeeper in a farming
town has demonstrated that wiith ser-
vice to ene's farm customers it is pos-!
sible to build up a big business in the
smallest place. There are not many'
such stores yet. But in scattered
places merchants enterprising enough'
to go after farmers with service have
proved that the prinoip'le was right.
Neither mail-order competition nor a'
small town are handicaps. Farmers;
prefer to buy near home if they are
given service, and even to pay a little I
more fax convenience. A country
store serving a population of from
500 to 2,000 buys as much merchan-
dise as a factory town of 5,000 to
10,000 people.
How can a country store serve
country people?
In many ways. When the Mer-
chant with a new stock of horse blan-
kets reminded farmers round about
that the time had come to keep horses
comfortable he made a beginning in
service—simple enough, but on the
right lines.
One of the most thriving country
stores known to the writer is in a vil-
lage of 200 people in sparsely settled
farming country. This store operates
a flour bank. It buys flour by the
carload, at the lowest price and
freight rates, and sells farmers cou-
pon books good for five or ten or
more sacks of flour. It has a spe-
cial room for storing flour, where it
is kept dry, clean, and safe from
pests. The farmers who hold cou-
poiis on the flour bank come in and
take out flour as needed, get the bene-
fit of car -lot prices and freights, and
are not troubled with storing flour
at home. As coupon. s are bought
before the flour is wanted, that furn-
ishes money to finance the business;
and the flour bank draws customers
for other merchandise.
This town had no ice plant—few
country towns of that size can afford
one. But the store installed an eight -
ton artificial ice plant, with a cold -
storage room large enough to hold a
carload of eggs, butter, and other
perishables. Farmers bring in per-
ishable stuff during the season of
heaviest :production and fewest prices,
the store paying them cash, and hold-
ing produce in its cold -storage plant.
until there is a car to ship to the city.
Ice is also sold to the farmers to take
home.
Each summer this - store takes a
neighborhood census, covering both
the things farmers will have to sell
at harvest and the }things they will
want to buy. This is as smple as it

Somebody will choose the paint and
the color. This storekeeper assumes
that it will be a woman's selection,
and sees that the farmer's wife has
color charts and paint iirices. City
women buy things in small packages
—starch in one -pound boxes, crack-
ers in ten -cent cartons, tea in one -
pound packages. Country people
have more pantry apace and go to
town infrequently. So this merchant
gives service by selling starch in spe-
cial three -pound boxes, craekeee in
ten -pound drums and tea in five -pound
packages. A lot of attention is like-
wise paid to what goes on around the
countryside. If •ti farmer buys a new
auto, the store knows the day he
drives it home, and he is invited to
bring it around so the storekeeper
can see it. If the farmer's daughter
is going to school this fall, she will
need a sweater, and the store writes
about sweaters to Mary herself, and
waits on her personally< when she e
comes to buy, respecting her choice
before that of her parents, and treats
her with an understanding of the
personal importance of that sweater
to herself.
The country neighborhood an the
country store are bound up together.
Big cities and big city stores cone
stantly exert a destructive influence'
upon both. If the country store is
losing :business and the country neigh•;`..,
borhood losing population, the same '^
influences are probably at work.
Country merchants used to insist that
it was the farmer's duty to patron-
ize them, and grumbled when they
saw goods coming in from the mail-
order houses, or watched farmers'
wives taking the train for a city
shopping tour. But to -day the coun-
try merchant thinks along another
Line—he admits that it is his duty to
serve farmers, and through good ser-
vice bring customers to his store.

A motor truck of standard make,
with attention such as should be given
a machine of the class, should run
100,000 miles. Some trucks have
longer records than this, which would
seem to indicate god running condi-

expect a certain amount of repairs,
and these repairs should be made as
soon as apparent wear is seen. In.
this Way only is it possible to get the
