Zurich Herald, 1939-02-09, Page 3Sunday School Lesson LESSON Vii PETER HEALS' A LAME MAN Acts 3:1-4:22 Garden Tett.—But Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but what I have, that give I thee. Acts 3:6. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—Some time after the day of, Pentecost, probably a few weeks, perhaps a few months, and thus either A.D. 30 or A.D. 31, ?']ace..—The city of Jerusalem. Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. We read in Scripture of three specified hours of prayer, in accordance with which the Psalm- ist speaks of his own custom, "ev- ening, and nmornisg, and at noon,n ill I pray" evening prayer at this particular time of the year would be at half past four. Lame ,All His Life 2. And a certain man that was lame from his another's womb was carried. Whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful. The temple was enclosed in three marble courts, rising in successive levels from the City floor. The lowest of these was the only one open to Gentiles. A flight of steps led up from it to the second, or middle, court, be- yond which women might 'not go. Thence another flight of steps as- cended to the upper level on which were the altar and the sanc- tuary. At the head of this second stairway, which only Jewish men might ascend, stood the Beautiful Gate, which opened on the temple leve'. To ask alms of them that en- terei: into the temple. 3. Who see- ing Peter and John about to go intc• the temple, asked to- receive an aims. 4. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him, with Jahn, said; Look on us. Peter's reply, "Leak on us," hints that the man's eyes were wandering, and that his words were mechanically address- ed e them, as such lifelong beg- gars are Wont to be. 5. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something from them. G. But Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but what I have, that give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Naz- areth, walk. Notice carefully that Peter claimed no power for him- self, -but he had absolute_ :confid— ence in the power of Christ to do something for this crippled man. ,. • Cured 7. And he took him by the right hand, and raised hien up: and im- me:iiately his feet and his ankle- bones received strength. 8. And leaping .up, he stood, and began to walk; and he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. 9. And ail the people saw him walking and praising God; 10. and they took knowledge of hiss, that it was he that sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and am- azement at that which had hap- pened unto him. Peter, ever ready to speak, and now, since the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, burning with a passion to proclaim the Lord Jesus, and to preach the gospel, defl.er his third address, accord- ing to the records that we have. The first we find in Acts 1:15-22, the second in 2:14-36. This per- son Jesus was not only the Sa- vior of God, but he was absolutely holy; his suffering had been pre- dicted by the prophets whom these people believed; God whom they pretended to worship had raised him from the dead, and in the name of this person Jesus, whom they had slain, he had healed this lame man to -clay. Pe- ter now pleads with them, to re- pent. to turn again from their stubborn opposition to the pur- - poses of God, that their sins inig wt be blotted out. Where Salvation Lies When Peter had finished de- livcring his sermon on the day of Pentecost, the Jews cried out ask- ing what they should do, and three thc;:sancl souls were saved. The nes'.::t of this sermon was alto- get'.:ccr'different. Peter and others with hire were thrown into prison, al. the command of the priests, the captain of the temple, and the S :,r'luvees. 't' e next day these early Chris- tian preachers were brought be- fc: e ilia Jewish Sanhedrin, where s.,; ' nnas, Caiaphas, and others ha had played a prominent part n n ;in. trial of the Lord Jesus not y months before tins (see Joh:, 1.8:13). ;',ne question which they asked 1.,,e disciples was, "Iv what peinar or in what Immo have ye dens this?" Acts 4:8. Then Peter, filled wi11, the Holy Spirit, said unto Ye rulers of t1,e people, and oi<e:a: 0. if Wo this day are ex - a n.nac•d concerning a good eked dem. to an impotent man, by what iteaas this man is shade whola: 1(r. 1.e it know unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Na✓,., .area: , whonn ye crucified, wbonl • • Big Blizzard Block 3.28pints and villgaes families 2.07 Roads, Highways in Ontario Many villages and towns throughout Ontario were completely isolated following the blizzard -last week which swept the province i Snow-plws were hard pressed to break through the snow -clogged highways znn.$pan effort to reach marooned settlements.

She Flies A Plane To ax Housework May Jean Rice, 18, petite "flying housemaid", of Goldfields, Sas- katchewan mining area, has reject- ed numerous marriage proposals and is concentrating on getting a pilot's license and owning her own airplane. She travels by commercial and private plane on her house-clean- ing tt'ips, which take her to all parts of the far-flung district. Miss Rice went to Goldfields with her father, employee of a mining syndicate in 1935 and quickly saw the bachelors' cabins required at- tention. She went the rounds with scrubbing brush and duster. Goes Rounds With a Duster ..Lest flying prospector engaged her house-eleaniug-"services each Mon- day and supplied a plane for trans- portation. Other siniilai` offers poured in and she became _known as the "flying housemaid". Miss Rice, of French-Canadian descent, is a bruAatte "with a trace of tan and 'freckles. She stands'' live feet one, weighs 120 pounds and is every bit a northerner. God raised from the dead, even in him doth this man stand here be- fore you whole. 11. He is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the corner. Here Peter quotes from Ps. 118:22. The argument is that the condemnation of Jesus by the supreme court of the nia- tion in no way disproved his Mes- siahship. 12. And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name -uncle]: heaven, that is given among amen, wherein we must be saved. Peter is not scolding these Hien, but he is bringing., this strong accusation against -them that they might re- cognize Christ as their Savior, and receive; the salvation which he alone was able to bestow. Sal- vation..from the bondage of sin. Tried To Drive Ahead of Tram Aime Gravelle, of Corbeil, Ont., drove his light truck for 30 feet ahead of a Timiskaming and Northern Ontario freight train just outside North Bay one day last weak. He was able to run off the tracks down an enbankment but the engine carried away part of the rear of the truck. Gravelle did not see the southbound freight un- til he was just about to cross the tracks. He didn't think he could beat the train across so he turned down the tracks ahead of it. He was unhurt. Who Drinks Most Milk In Canada? • Surveys Made By Federal Gov- ernment Reveal Interest- inst. nterest ins. Figures French-speaking Canadians drnik more milk per family -than' any other Canadians, because their fam- ilies are larger, but Canadians of British or United States origin':con- sunis more milk per capita than do those of French-Canadian. origin. The daily per capita: consumption of milk is higher in farm areas than in cities, being lust over half a pint. The per capita conSufliP' tion in large families is smaller than in small families.. The village of St. Romania, In Quebec, which was selected for the survey of villages iu the provinces " by thdniarketing committee of the Department of Agriculture figures at the bottom of the' list according to the analysisof the economics division, the per capita coneump- tion there being ...40 of a pant per day, while In Uxbridge, 01st Bras 0.73 'of a plait.• 21% Children Go Mi kiess • Farm families in all areas con- sumed on the average 5.53: pints per day per family, city families pints.

Bent, in families on relief to G per cent, in families with In- come$ of $4,000 or more. Office FIlk Like Milk The analysis of occupations shows that next to farm people, who are the largest consumers of milk as a beverage, come the pro. fessional and large business execu- tive group. Then come small bust - noes executives and clerks at about the sante level; salesmen, retired people„ skilled laborers and those of unstated occupations follow in order with unskilled laborers rank- ing at the bottom of the table. Farmers Hold Key "'o Unemployment Declaring that be spoke as .fi farmer, and one who was intimately acquainted with the problems fac- lag the man on the land, Mr, Iiouelt warned that the farmer must be given a fair return for his work and produce if better times are: ever to come to Canada. Both the urban and the rural dweller must. come to understand each other's problems, he said. The Farmer Must Be Given a Better Return For His Work Or Prosperity Will Never Come Back, Says Former Chairman of Milk Board. Farmers of the Dominion hold the key to unemployment of the country if they could but use it by ,- providing work and if they could but receive fair prices for their products, said J. E. Houck, former chairman of the Ontario Milk Con- trol Board, speaking at the annual dinner of the Peterborough Indus- trial Exhibition Board.
