Christianity was at the first mere- ly a sect yf Judaism. The Apostles did not break off *rota synagogue and temple worship, nor cease to ob- serve Jewish rites. To these they added belief in Jesus of Nazareth as the promised Messiah. The holding of goods in common by the early Christians was not a thing peculiar to themselves, for the Eessenea, a peculiar Jewish sect of that time, had, according to Bishop Lightfoot, long practised it. The earliest Christians, after their Pen- tecostal experiences, looked for the imme5liate return of Christ and one res. t of this was a falling off in in - rest in things pertaining to every day life and work which led to the having of everything in common. (Acts 5 : 32.37). This practise was not tried at any other place than Jerusalem: and there it lasted only a very short time and then faded from the ordinary practise of the Christian church; but before it pass- ed it was attended-hy jealousy and discord;—"There arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration (6.1). While they were few in number "they wegqee all with on'ls accord:" hut now thfiat they were multiplied they began to murmur, the Apostles acting on the belief that "in the multitude of coun- sellors there is safety." called a meeting of the leading Christians,in Jerusalem to discuss and settle the matter. They reasoned wisely that it was not their place to spend time serving tables, having been set aside to preach the word of God. They therefore, advised that seven men should he selected as deacons whose business it would he to take charge of the rponey that "had been laid down at the Apostles' feet." The advice pleased the whole multitude and seven men were chosen "whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed. they laid their hands on them. This difficult matter satisfactorily disposed of, the word of God increased: and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great com- pany of the priests were obedient to' the faith" (verse 7). Verses 8-5. The chief of the chosen seven was the subject of to -day's lesson—step- hen. All that is known of him is what is found in the 6th and 7th chapters of Acts. • There we see his characters, his conduct and his vic- torious death. His character:—"A man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost," "full of faith and power." These phrases bring into full light the close touch Stephen had in his daily life with Christ. For without me ye can do' nothing" (John 15.5). The result of this was that he did "great wonders and miracles among the people." The distribution of alms was now but a part of the work given him to do. He was an evange- list as well as a deacon and his zeal as a preacher brought him into prominence so that certain of the synagogue disputed with him. His- torians tell us that there were at this time hundreds of synagogues in Jer- usalem and the ones mentioned in verse 9 were most likely freonented by the Hellenists of Rome, Greece, and Alexandria. Cilicia and Asia. To us the most intQresting of all these Greek -speaking Jews was Saul of Tarsus who no doubt took part in the disputations which followed en the fervid preaching of Stephen. The discussion would centre round, in the beginning at least, the Mes- sisship of Jesus. the meaning of his death and the fact of his reaurrec- iont "and they.were not ,able to re- sist the wisdom and the spirit by which he snake."' We have an in- stance of the fnlfilment of promise; "T will give von a mouth and wis- dom which all your adversaries shall not he able to gainsay or resist'' (Luke 21:15)• They were not aware that it was net merely Stenben but the Spirit. of God in him with whom they were disnutigqg and were, there- fore. unequaily rhatehed.

"A lie which is half a truth is ever the•blackets of lies; For a lie which is all a lie may be met and fought with outright, But a lie which is part a truth is a harder matter to fight." After securing f a Ise witnesses "they stirred up the people and eld- ers and . scribes," until there was a regular mob ready torush upon and seize him and hurry him before the Sanhedrin, and afterwards exercise lynch -law up ii him. Stephen was accused of speaking against the.Jew- ish religion, fathers, and temple, During all this outcry and mob rule Stephen remained the one least af- fected apparently. He was the first Christian preacher who fully under- stood the distinction which Christ taught between .Judaism and Chris- tianity and he suffered martyrdom for his belief. He was the central ('figure in, that strange scene and all eyes were fixed upon his face. What did they see? "And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel." Augustirfe thus beautifully writes of the martyr's transfigured face: "0 Lamb, fore- most of the flock of Christ, fighting in the midst of wolves. following af- ter the Lord; so transfigured was he by the rays of the Sun of Righteous- ness, that., even to his enemies he seemed a being not of this world." Stephen was given an opportunity to defend himself when the high rriest asked him, "Are these things so?" Then followed a speech full of convincing arguments, but it in- censed rather than convinced and stirred to greater frenzy until they gnashed on 'him' with their teeth (7:54). He was then hurried away to death. Throughout the scene that followed his conduct resembled most closely that of his -Lord at His cruci- fixion. The spirit of forgiveness breathed through his dying words and then, "he fell asleep." To aid them in their dreadful work of hurl- ing stones at their victim they took off their garments and laid them "at the feet of a young man whose name was Saul." This was the first men- tioned in history of a name, destined from that day on to be memorable forever in the Annals of the world. Erromanga and Its Martyrs. Erromanga is one of the lafger is- lands of the group to which Captain Cook, the great English navigator of the' eighteenth century, gave the name of the New Hebrides. It has no harbors, but in several of its bays good anchorage is to be found. ' Dil- lon's Bay is the chief and has been for sixty years the principal mission station onthe island; and alas! the scene of many a ghastly tragedy. No fewer than five missionaries gave their lives ,fox the sake of Oathere, '. Johli pb!iillatnP, One o greatest of Itriesianartetir'said o tit's•; ftatives of 3arotoaga, on'wbioh *got be began lie worst: ";When 1 (*got' them In 1820, they were igneral j iE the stature of Christian worships0..d:• when I left thein in 1894, I am net aware that there was a house on the island where family prayer was not observed every morning and eves.. ing." With his own hands and few tools he built a boat with which to cruise among the islands of ,the group and it was when landing, 'it the company of Jalnos Harris, on the island of Erromanga that the natives rushed upon them and . they were' clubbed to death... "They hazarded their lives for' the name of the Lord' Jesus." Many attempts were made to settle native teachers from neigh- boring islands on Erromanga, but twenty years elapsed before mission aries were settled there. These were Rev. G. N. and Mrs. Gordon, from Prince Edward Island, Canada. This marked a turning point in, the Erro- mangan Mission. They toiled there for four years, learning the language building their own house and school house and becomingly friendly with the natives. They had just made a good beginning when an epidemic of measles broke out and the mission- aries were blamed for its spread and when one-third of the population was stricken, the rage of the natives knew no bounds and Mr, and Mrs. Gordon suffered martyrdom at their hands. When the news reached Mr. Gordon's island home his mother, James, offered himself in his place. It was three' years, however, before he was settled there and took up the work which had been cared for in the interval by native Christians who were greatly pleased on being told that Mr. Gordon was going to stay with them. For eight years he lab- ored for the good of these islanders. For their evangelization his heart yearned with all the intensity of his nature. The last year of his life was devoted largely to the translating of portions of the Gospels and revising his own and his brother's transla- tions. For some months enemies had been plotting against his life, and one day when busyrevising his bro- ther's translation of the Acts of the Apostles, having reached the narra- tive of the stoning of Stephen, he was attacked from behind, and one more name was added to the martyrs of Erromanga. As ever the blood of the martyrs was the seed of the church, and so to -day there is a church on that island, a memorial to these five who sacrificed all for their sake and that of the gospel. At the opening service a man, taught to read, by Mrs. Gordon, but who for long afterwards continued in" heath- enism, took part in public prayer, thus fulfilling the promise: "My word shall not return unto me void." epi WEAK,RUN DOWN AND AILING Lydia E.Pinkham's VegetableCom- pound Brought Relief When Other Medicines Failed Port Mann, B.

FAIRY STORY FORTUNE FOR TWO- OTTAWA LOVERS The sudden arrival of a fortune, as from a guardian- fairy, made the mar- riage of Miss Monica Mousseau and Mr. Eudore Guibord one of the most romantic celebrated in Canada's capi- tal for many decades. Miss Mousseau, who was 24 years of age last September, was a clerk in Mr, J. S. Brown's drug store for the last five years. Mr. Guibord, who is 26 years old, is a fully qualified phar- macist, and has been employed in the dr'bg store of Mr. R. Harrison, which is only a few bloc]cs away from the store where Mrs. Guibord was em- ployed. The couple met and kept company for four years. They intended to be married. They decided to wait until Mr. Guibord qualified at the Ontario College of Pharmacy, Toronto. The young man passed his examinations with high honors last fall. Like ali love,,affaifs things did not go smoothly wit , theM, halv pn the night that Mr. Guiber rt rlfe free fpoi duty, his sweetbert� ould e k wo,, Which result n beth of th seeing each other . e seldom. TM_ however, like the of maxim, "Ab- sence makes the heart grow fonder," proved to be of value, with the con- sequence that Miss Mousseau had other beaux, but none that she cared for like the man she married. During the courtship, a startling event occurred. By a stroke of for- tune such as only occurs to few in- dividuals in the world except the peo- ple in fiction, Miss Mousseau became very wealthy.

BRANCHES IN THIS DISTRICT: Bracelield • St- Marra Rirlchual Exeter Glisten : Hensel - Zurich Two strangers appeared in Brown's drug store one cold -day last Novem- ber. It was the season for colds, and Miss Mousseau, who was on duty, bustled out to attend to them. How- ever, they did not ask for the usual medicated pills, liniment, or soothing powders. They asked for Miss Mous- seau. After asking her several ques- tions, the answers which quits, satis- fied them, they told the beautiful young drug clerk that she, along with her three brothers, and tree sisters, had become the heirs and heiresses of an estate worth approximately $1,- 500,000. Needless to say Miss Mous- scan was dazed. She could scarcely believe it. B6t it was trues She received, abundant evidence a few weeks ago when the first instal- ment ,of the money arrived. It as for $60,000. The inheritance came about this way. Miss Mousseau's grand -aunt. Mrs. Irene Barnharte Wilson, at one time lived in Arnprior. She left the family home to go on the stage. 'This was not regarded as convention- al in those days. The result was that she was promptly disowned by_ her family. After playing in many stock com- panies, she finally appeared in a huge production in New York City, where she captured the heart of a million- aire cattle king, George Wilson, of Mexico. They were married. Some years later Mr. Wilson died and left everything to his wife. The Wilson family who strenuously opposed the marriage contested the will but lost out in the courts. 'in the meantime, Mrs. Wilson, who was childless, wan getting old. She wanted to write to her family, but did not know whether they were living or dead. She was always very fond of one niece. " The lonely old woman often recalled happ$ days of -her girlhood its Arnprior., She died 14onely, Flek will left evet'y- thing to this favorite niece, the We Mrs. T. H.

With this end in view they came to ttawa, • and, after several weeks of anxious tracing, finally located the right helrs and heiresses. The welcome news was brought. to, Miss Mousseau on Friday, November 24th, 1922, by the solicitors for the Wilson estate, Messrs. Hill and Scott, of San Antonio, Texas. Has Miss Mousseau changed? " , Not at all. Even up to two nightat before her marriage; she could 'be seen every day faithfully at work at the little corner drug store. She tells some amusing stories of inquisi- tive "Johnnies" who wanted to sees her. They found something to loose. at that was not hard on the eyes. She is blue eyed, dark bobbed hair, at dainty figpre, and very pretty. Her three brothers and three sisters, who shared in the estate with her, werei more excited than she was. One -of the boys got married recently. The other two ar too young to get mar- ried. The three girls are all under 17 years and attend the Gloucester Street Convent, Ottawa.
