"The new bell for the English
•Church arrived Tuesday evening. On
one Side it bears the inscription of

Shane's Bell Foundry, 13altintore,
Md. On the other is inscribed, St.

' T. A. Wright, Incumbent; Jas. Per-
Robt. Young, Church Wardens.
1£ is a beautiful bell at a cost of
:4220, weighs over 1000 pounds, and
ought to be one of the best in the
vrovince, for its weight, as the manu-
facturers eclipsed all others at the
-centennial exhibition, carrying off the
gold medal. It will be placed in po-
sition in the tower next week. Its
:future mission will be to proclaim the

ankle bones received strength," so
that he was able to limp and, hobble
along? That is not the way Jesus
Christ works miracles. The man leap-
ed up. 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. They rejoined the
company of their fellow -believers, un-
ited with them in praising God for

!PETER HEALS A LAME MAN.
Sunday, Feb. 24. Acts 3:1 to 4:31.
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

What Kruschen did for him it will
do for everybody who suffers from
indigestion as he did. The fact is that
"the title daily dose" of Kruschen first
stimulates the flow of gastric juices
to aid digestion, and then ensures a
complete, regular and unfailing elim-
ination of all waste matter every day.
