days after the second day of the Feast 1 18 Those who came into the upper room
of the Passover (Lev. 23: 11, 15, 16) and saw the wonderful manifestations
of God. could not underetaud the opera-
tions of the Spirit. There were some who
m.oeked and said they were intoxieated.
"There has seldom been a remarkable
manifestation of the power of the Holy
Spirit, that has not given occasion for
profane mockery and merriment. The
Saviour himself was mocked, and the ef-
forts of Christians to save others have
been the subject of derision."
III. Peter's address (vs, 14-21.) The
whole address includes verses 14-36. This
address, or sermon, was clear and practi-
cal. It was founded cru facts and was
endorsed by the Holy Spirit. Peter be-
gan by refuting the charge of drunken-
nms and called attention to the fact
that it was only nine o'clock in the
morning, too early to be affected with
strong drink. This was alert tate hour of
morning worship and devout Jews were
not accustomed to take food or drink
before that time; even drunkards did
not usually become drum: in the day-
time. He told them that this was the
fulfilment of the predictions of one of
their own prophets (Joel 2; 28.32).
17. -In the last days --This expression
in the New Testament, and has refer-
ence to "the age of the Messiah," "the
Christian dispensation," which the Scrip-
tures represent es ftez last great moral
epoch. That time had now eome and
the great Spirit was given, not sparing,
ly as under the olcl covenant. but .n
copious streams which were being pour-
ed upon "all flesh" --all races, ranks and
classes. eha11 prophesy ----This word de-
notes in general, to :•peak under a di-
vine :influence, whether in foretelling
future events, in celebrating the praises
of God, or in instructing others in the
duties of religion. See Paul's difiuition
in 1 Cor. 1+4; 3.
There are a great variety of opinions
as to the meaning of verses 19 and 20.
"By the figurative language of these
verses the prophet teaches thr,t even
when the leiugdom of Christ sball have
conte into the world, mighty troubles
and was the second of the three great
yearly feasts held by the Jews. The
first, the Passover, commemorated
Israel's deliverance from Egyptian
bondage, and pointed to Christ as the
'sacrifice for sin. The second, the
Pentecost, continued only one day and
was a day of thanksgiving for the
grain harvest, atad the "firstfruits"
were offered to the Lord. Special
bloody sacrifices were also prescrib-
ed. It also commemorated the giv-
ing of the law at Mount Sinai, fifty
days after leaving Egypt. The Pente-
cost was sometimes called the feast
of the harvest (Exod. 23: 16), the
.wheat harvest (Exod. 34: 22), and
also the feast of weeks (Dent. 16: 10),
because a week of weeks came be-
tween it and .the Passover. Tho resur-
rection was on Sunday, and the Pente-
cost was on the fiftieth day after-
ward, therefore it was also on Sunday.
The third great feast was the Taber-
nacles, held on the fifteenth of the
seventh month (Tieri), and commem-
orated the wilderness life. Was fully
oome-The disciples knew they were
to receive a great blessing, but they
did not know how or when, thus they
veer led to seek the Lord with all their
-hearts, trusting him for the fulfil-
ment of the promise. A11 -The 120
'spoken of in chapter 1; 15. With
.one accord -There was no person un-
interested. There was an earnest,
united prayer being offered by the en -
.tire company when the Holy Spirit
dell upon them. In one place -The
upper room (Acts 1: 13). It is God's
,plan that his people should meet to-
gether in his name (Heb. 10: 25;
Matt. 18: 19, 20), and those who ab-
sent themselves from the company of
the saints will suffer spiritual loss.
2. Suddu.ily-Unexpectedly, in a mo-
ment, not gradually as winds gen-
erally rise. -Com. Cam. A sound -The
.suddenness, strength and diffusive-
ness of the sound strike with deep-

In a tree and important sense the
Holy spirit was iu the world before this

mention is made of the influence of
the Spirit on the prophets .and others
(see Gen.6, 3; Pea. 51. 11; 2 Pet. 1. 21).
lachariae and John. the Baptist were
filled with the Holy Spirit (Luke 1. 15,
67), and the apostles had received the
Holy Spirit (John 20. 22). But never
before had the Holy Spirit been given
in such an abundant measure. All were
now filled and purified and endued
with power for service. The experience
of perfect holiness and spiritual power
is within the easy reach of all. There is
no scripture to show, however, that the
special gift of tongues was permanent.
To quickly reach the amasses God per-
formed this remarkable miracle.

sun is darkened and the moon has the
appearance of blood. The sun being
turned into darkness and the moon into

tended to point one the downfall of

PRA('TICAI, APPr.TCATIONS.
The Promisr. Fuli'iiled.
I. The prayer of Pentecost. "These all
continued steadfastly in prayer''
(Acts 1: 14, R. V.) The Holy Spirit
carne upon Jesus while 11e was praying
at his ba.ptisin (Luke 3. 21. 22, Matt, 3:
10). The Spirit manifested his glory
while .?esus was praying at his trans-
figuration (Luke 9: 28. 20). The Spirit
was sent t4 Pentecost in answer to the
prayer of .?esus: (John 14: 1(1). and the
united prayer of the disciples in the
name of Jesus (John 16: 25). Another
ti.nie, after "they had prayed the place
was shaken and they were all filled with
the Holy Spirit" (Acts 4: 31). God
given "the Holy Spirit to them that
ask him" (Luke 11: 13), S. A. leen, in
Penteeost.al Papers, suggests that this
slaking should be:
1. Definite. Ask for him. The prayer
unust eorresoonci wifn the promise. God
promised not a thing, but a person: not
it, but himself,
2. Exp•sotaut. A. true man has a, re-
gard for his word. A father had been
siix months on the Paeific c-moast. Re-
turning home by way of Chicago, he met
a friend, who said: "Stay with me a
week; we may never meet again" The
ftithiw answered:: "I should enjoy your
hospitality, but T have sent word home
that l' shall be there Saturday night.

SEDITION 13Y GRANMAPHONE.

Progaganda,
London, Tan. 4. -Sedition by gramo-
phone is a novel menace with which the
British authorities in India are con-
fronted. It bas just been discovered
that a German, firm of disc record mak-
ers sent a representative to India equip-
ped with all the appliances for turn-
ing out talking maohine records. • On
his arrival he is said to have got into
touch with the sedition mongers whose
activity the Indian Government is en-
deavoring to stem.
The effect produced on the rural
population in the interior of Bengal by
inflammatory speeches uttered in the
vernacular by their own eo-religionists
is said to be amazing. The ignorant
