Elaborate baths, built by the ancient Romans near Gafsa, Tun-
isia, some 1400 -odd years ago, are enjoyed by American soldiers. The
baths are fed by natural mineral springs whose waters maintain a

And hare's another surprise. Do

joy only popular music? It doesn't
'look like it Recently station
CFEB received a letter from one
ef the training centres of the
Royal Canadian Air Force. In it
the writer asked if it would be

Training Centre were very tired
of the quantity of popular music
which came over the air, he sug-
gested
that either the Station
should include more programmes
of elassicai music, or alternative-
ly, loan some of the symphonic
transcriptions in its Recording
Library to the Training School. z
Airmen would thereby be able to
play the records for the enter-
tainment of those who enjoyed
the better glass of music.
Still on the subject of musical
preference, some time ago a far-
mer in the United States tried
the experiment of turning on a
radio in his barn at milking time.
He claimed that as a result of the
experiment. he was convinced
that bis cows gave a larger quan-
tity of milk. It seems also that
human beings can be persuaded
to greater war production by the
assistance of suitable melodies. A
request was made recently by a
large war plant that radio stations
&should feed musical programmes
by a loud speaker system through -
ea various branches of the fac-
tory. For two weeks at certain
intervals throughout the day and
night nlueical radio broadcasts
Were fed to .eections of the war
plant ill fiiaesth n. At the end of
the period comparisons were made
and it viae definitely established
that the music had kept the work -
ors brighter, more cheery towards
the end of their working day. At
present:, experiments are being
made to find out what music is
best suited to various war time
industrial operations and to the
type of workers who perform
them.

PETER AND JOF•IN LEADERS.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time.—Pentecost .oeeured May

lame Ulan at the Temple occurred
a few weeks later. Exactly when

the Temple.
Peter's instructions
"Now when they beard this,
they were pricked in their heart,
and Said unto Peter and the rest
of the apostles, Brethren, what
shall we do? And Peter said unto
them, Repent ye,, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of
Jesus Christ unto the remission
of your'sins; and ye shall receive
the, gift of the Holy Spirit." Bap-

is not a saving ordinance. Only
faith 'can save us. Baptism is a
sign of the washing away of our
sills, a public acknowledgment
that we are henceforth to be idon-
tified with Jesus Christ, an ex-
ternal rite symbolizing our being
•
identified with the body of Christ.
G.od's Premise
"For to you is the promise, and
to your children, and to all that
are afar off, even as many as the
Lord. our God shall call to him."
Peter knew from the beginning
that the Gentiles were to be ad-
mitted to the same privileges as
Israel, But Christ's commission
said that they were to preach first
in Jerusalem and J•udea.•
Peter's Admonition
"And with ninny other words
he testified, and exhorted them,
saying, save yourselves from this
crooked generation." What Peter
Ile
here meant was that these people
,should accept the Lord Jesus
Christ as their Saviour, and thus
be saved from the doom which
was to fall upon Israel because of
itsrejectionof Christ,climaxing
in the destruction of the city of
elelusalein some forty years later.
"'iTley tlieii that' received this.
'wigs ererceetiantized: Attntl' tte:ee
were added unto them in that day
about three thousand souls." The
number need cause 110 surprise.
Many of these new converts inay
have been in a sense believers
already; but had been restrained
by timidity or irresolution from
an open profession of their faith.
The Hour of Prayer
"Now Peter and John were go-
ing up into 'the temple at the
hour of prayer, being the ninth
hour. And a certain plan that
was lame from his mother's womb
was carried, whom they laid daily
at the door of the temple which
is called. Beautiful, to ask alms
of them that entered into the
temple. Who seeing Peter and
John about to go into the temple,
asked to receive an alms. And
Peter, fastening his eye upon hint
with John, said, Look. on us."
Normally, one becomes not only
accustomed to seeing beggars, but
somewhat impatient with them.
Not so 'Peter. Like his Lord, he
saw into the inner life of this
floor creature, and felt that he
nit only should be delivered of
Itis lameness but that he should
know the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Apostolic Miraele
"And 11e gave heed unto them,
expecting to receive something
from them. But Peter said, sil-
ver and gold have I none; but
what I have, that I give thee"
In the name of Jesus Christ of"
Nazareth, walk." Mankind has,
been primarily beholden to those
who have possessed little of this
world's goods, but have abound-
ed in 'faith, and utterance, and
knowledge,, and in all earnest.

marked difference between the
manner of our Lord's perform-
ing miracles and the manner in
which the apostles performed
them. Jesus effected euros 'Him-

from, His own personality and in
His own power, His disciples
effected eures by speaking in
His .115010. Peter's words are
typical of the spirit which should
ever animate the Christian
preacher or teacher. They
the attention of his hearers
wholly away front themselves and
exalt Jesus Christ alone.
The Apostle&' Boldness -
"Now when they beheld the
boldhadnpei eess ivedter tliatldtheyn, and
were
unlearned and ignorant igen,
they marvelled; and they took
know*ledge of them; that they
had been with Jesus. And they
called them, and charged them
not to speak at all nor teach in
the name of Jesus." This has
been the experience of the
Church in different parts 'of
sthe
oe
world in every >
false religions have attempted to
*top the mouths of those who
were 'bringing in light and truth,
love and redemption.
The Christian Conscience
"But Peter and John answered
and •said unto them, whether it
is right in the sight of' God to
hearken unto you rather than
unto God, judge ye: for we can-
not but speak the things whi.cll
we saw and heard. And they,
when they had further fthreat-
ened, them, let them go, g
nothing how they might punish
them; because of the people;.for..
rail mein glolifiecl God for that
which was done." In this first
conflict between the Church and
earthly authority, they assert a
great principle—that the Chris-
tian conscience is the supreme
court of appeal. The answer of
Bunyan, when ifnprisoned, and
forbidden to preach was, 'I am.
at a point with you. If I were
out of prison againS el to -day

would preach the gospel
to -morrow, by the help of God.'
