Then he,began to walk in full physical strength; and he went on through the Beautiful Gate with his new friends, and "into the temple, walking, and leafing, and praising. God." . There can be little doubt that the healed man turned to Christ as his Saviour and received eternal life as well as physical strength. The'news spread like wildfire. "And all •the people saw him walking and praising God,"—and they knew it was the man who had been lame, for he was a familiar sight to the whole city. Peter preached another great ser- mon then, like •the one he preached on the day -of Pentecost. It' was' a ser- mon that cut deep, condemned un- siparingly, and then 'offered forgive- ness' and salvation. Peter told his great audience of Jews that the lame man had been healed'by faith in the name' of Jesus Christ, wlho was their Messiah, but whom they had delivered 'up, denying "the Holy One and the Just," and had asked that a murderer be given to them in His stead, while they !`killed the Prince of life, whom God had raised from the dead." Then Peter showed how all this ful- filled the Old Testament Scriptures, with which his hearers were familiar. And he declared that if they would repent and recognize this crucified and risen Jesus Christ as their Mes-- siah their sins would be blotted out. Many believed, and the three thou- sand who had become believers on the day of Pentecost grew to be five thousand. But persecution was at hand. The priests who had crucified Christ had Peter and John arrested, kept in pri- son overnight, and then hailed before them in the Sanhedrin. In formal trial the priests asked Peter and John by what power �r name they • bad worked that miracle. The answer was plain enough: "Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the ?lame of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God-iaisi3 `from„ the dead, even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole." And Peter quoted a familiar verse from Psalm 118:22, which must have cut the Jewish leaders to the heart: "This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is be- come the head of the corner." There followed the astounding but eternally true declaration: "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heav- en given among men whereby we must be saved:" The Sanhedrin was dumbfounded. They could not answer. "I3eholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it." Weakly the Jewish leaders did the only thing they could do while they were fighting God and rejecting their own Messiah. They "commanded then not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus." The disciples respectfully answered that the San- hedrin must judge for themselves, "Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God ... For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard." Not only were the disciples not in- timidated, but their courage rose to a glorious height.

Golden Text: Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee. (Acts 3:6.) A man more than 40 years old, helplessly lame from his birth, was brought by his friends every day to a gate of the temple at Jerusalem. The gate, was called "Beautiful." There he lay all day long, begging alms of those who came to worship. It is a pathetic picture of poverty and impotence. How many years it had gone on we .are not told, One day tite lame beggar, lying as usual at the Beautiful Gate, sate two men about to enter. He made his cus- tomary plea: Probably he thought lit- tle of it—they might, or might not, pay attention to slim, But they stopped short. One of the ' this experience, and prayed: "And men fixed itis eyes upon the beggar and said, in a compelling way "Look on its". • ' This was out of the ordinary; cer- tainly. The man looked expectantly; perhaps they were going to give a larger alms than usual.. He was Mistaken. They were going to give hurt no alms at all; they lead .no money and they gold hiiil so, But this is what one of them said—and his words •have come ringing down through the centuries; "Silver and gold have J. none; but such as I have give I thee: In the se Hanle of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise HE FELT MISERABLE AFTER MEALS Acute Indigestion Relieved by Kruschen, The treatment wli'ich'put this moan right must surely be worth trying in every case of indigestion.
