FAMILY DOCTOR MADE MILLIONS OF FRIENDS esss �tflldit�lu�. Fifteen years after his graduation, [Dr. Caldwell became famous for a single prescription, which now, after forty years, is still making friends. Today Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the world's most popular laxative, 1Vfi11ions of people neverthink of using anything else when they're r i constipated, headachy,fave.✓ bilious, . b, or weak; when breath is bad, tcngue coated; or they're suffering from nausea, gas, or lack of appetite or energy. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is madetodayaccording totheoriginalai formula, from herbs and other pure ingredients. It is pleasant -tasting; thorough in the mostobstinate cases: gently effective for women and chit.) dren. Above all, it represents a doctor's choice of what is safe for the bowels. • And the number of the disciples mul- tiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly. Church membership should increase as fast as possible, provided only each person added to the church is a real members of the body of Christ. And a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. "This is not surprising. For on the one hand ad- herence to the new faith did not in- terfere with the performance of their duties in the temple; on the other there was a great gull between the ordinary priests and the class of rul- ing and wealthy high -priests. The latter acted towards their brethren like tyrants; some of them went so far as forcibly to rob them of their tithes, And Stephen. And Stephen had his name divinely chosen for him by that Divine Providence which order- eth all things, because he was to win in the fulness of time an imperish- able garland, and to gain a• crown of righteousness, and to render highest. services to the church of God by his teaching •and by his testimony even unto death." Full of grace and pow- er. "Grace" pictures his tender and lovely character, bis heart of compas- sion and sympathy which made him an ideal deacon and dispenser of aid to the poor widows. "Power" pictures the outgoing- of his spiritual force in miracles, worked by the apostles, as well as by Christ, but not of miracles worked by any disciples. The power of working miracles resulted from the fulness of the Holy Spirit . dwelling in Stephen. But there arose certain of them that were of the synagogue called the syn- agogue of the Libertines, There were numerous synagogues in Jerusalem, and it was natural that these men, having in their antecedents so special a bond, should choose to worship to- gether in one mainly frequented by thein." And of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexanclrians. Josephus says that one-fourth of .the. inhabitants of the important city of Cyrene in northern Africa were Jews, while a large part of Alexandria, the capital of Egypt, was assigned to its 100,000 Jews thought to be one-third of its free population. And of them of Cilicia and Asia. Cilicia was •the country at the .northeast corner of the Mediter- ranean, lying northwest .of Syria. Asia was the name, at that time, not as to -clay of a great continent, but only of the western seaboard of Asia Min- or. Ephesus was its capital. Disput- ing with Stephen. Not quarreling, but debating with great earnestness the points in regard• to which the Jews and Christians did not agree. And they were not able to with- stand the wisdom, and the Spirit by which he spake. By the wisdom of Stephen is not to be understood ex- clusively his Jewish learning, but the :Christian wisdom with which he was inspired, according to the promise which our Lord made to His disciples. STEPHEN THE MARTYR. "He heeded/ not reviling tones, Nor sold his heart to idle tu.oans, 'f'hottgh cursed and scorned, and bruised with stones: "liut looking upward, full of grace 11e prayed; and from a happy ;place Gods glory smote him on the face." ---Alf.sed Tennyson. Now when they heard these things they were cut to the heart. "',lite verb means, originally, to saw asunder, A strong figure for exasperation." Arid they gnashed on hint with their teeth. :Gnashing of teeth is oten associated H'I 11 with despair, but here 'with 'rage, the crowd clashing their teeth together a5 S iv tge beasts do when they ave itis furiated and frantic for their prey, , But lie, being full of the ;Moly Spirit, "He knew what was coming. That fierce gnashing of teeth meant death. And so he was full of -;what? of indigation at the injustice meted to him? No; he was 'full of the Holy Spirit.' Looked tip steadfastly into l eeVen. His gaze, cahtt and unafraid, kept firm amid all.the tumult of the mob. And saw the ,'glory of God. "Solve visible sign ,of God's presence, suclx• as Shechinah bad been to the Jews of old." And Jesus standing on the right hand of God. The right hand, the position of. honor. Not sit- ting, as the representtation is Usually, but standing, as if ready to aid his servant in the present crisis and to welcome him, in a few minutes, to heaven. And said, Behold I see the heavens opened. The clouds and sky drawn apart, so that the upper •glories and beauties were. clearly -viiibleS as they wene to Jesus on more than one oc- casion. And the Son of man stand- ing on: the right hand •of God. Except here, Christ is the only person that applies this Messianic title to Him- self. He wished to emphasize His hu- manity, others to emphasize His deity His nature as the Son of God; but the latter, in Stephen's vision, is dis- closed by • the very position of the Saviour, so that for completeness sof representation our Lord's typical manhood is introduced. But they cried out with a loud voice. They sought to drown Steph- en's words, regarding them as blas- phemous. And stopped their ears. Thu they expressed their horror, and their determination not themselves to be polluted by Stephen's utterances. And rushed upon him with one ac- cord. Anger produces a terrible un- ity in a mob completely •given to pas- sion; it seems to be animated by .a single soul, bent upon evil doing, And they cast him out of the city. So Christ's fellow townsmen cast him out of Nazareth to stone him (Luke 4:29). It is very likely that Stephen was taken out of the city through the Damascus Gate in the northern wall, and so was stoned on the `very spot where his Master had been crucified; but there is a gate in the eastern wall above the Kidron valley and Gethse- mane which is called St. Stephen's Gate, tradition declaring that Steph= en's martyrdom took place outside it. And stoned him. Stoning was' the Jewish mode of capital punishment, as crucifixion and beheading were the Roman modes, And the. witnesses. As a means of discouraging false charges the Mosiac law (Debt. 17:6, 7) re- quired two witnesses, and these were to cast the first stones at the con- edmned. First one of the witnesses was to strike the criminal on the breast with a stone, thus hurling him to the ground. If this slid not kill' him, the second witness was to hurl a stone at hire IS he still survived, all the 'people were to stone him till he died, after which his body was to be hung up until sunset. Laid down. their garments. Their outer robes, which they had removed in order to get freedom of action. At the feet of a young Yuan named Saul, This poig- nant reference is the first mention of him who became the great• apostle Paul. Various totes in 'his writings showed that Stephen's trial and death made the deepest impression upon him. And they stoned Stephen, calling upon the Lord. In his death Stephen continued his testimony that Jesus was divine. And saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. Very likely Stelih- en was present at Christ's crucifixion, and heard his last cry, "Father; into Thy hands 1 comtnend my spirit" - .Luke 23:46. And;, he kneeled down. "The atti- tude of kneeling in prayer would no tlotibt commend itself to the early be- lievers from the example of their Lord. Standing would 'seem to have been the more common attitude am- ong the Jews," And cried with a loud voice. Titus Christ also maintained His physical force to the very end, His last words being uttered "with a loud voice" (Luke 23:46). Lord, lay 'not this sin to their charge. Here, again, in the particular most difficult to all, Stephen followed the example. of his Saviour. Who in the first ter- rible agonies of the crucifixion pray- ed for His torturers, "Father, forgive thein, for they 'know not what they do." (Luke 23:34). And when he had said this he fell asleep. That is he died, TURNBERRY COUNCIL A special meeting of the Turnber- ry Council was held in the Hall,' at Bluevale, on Friday, October 24th. Members all presett. A letter was received from Mr. 3.
