The crowd which was collected by Peter's preaching soon attracted the attention of the temple authorities. The priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon then. The captain was roused into action by the Sadducees, who, mingl- ing with the crowd, heard the words of the Apostles proclaiming the res- urrection of Jesus Christ, "being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resur- rection from the dead." It is note- worthy how perpetually the Sadducees appear as the special antagonists of Christianity during these earliest years. The Apostles testified and en- forced above everything else the ris- en, the glorified, and the continuous existence in the spirit world of the Man Christ Jesus. And thus they came into conflict with the central doctrine of Sadduceism which denied a future life. Hence, at Jerusalem, at feast, the Sadducees were ever the chief persecutors of the Apostles, while the Pharisees, if knot favorable to Christianity, were at least neutral. We never read of a Sadducee embrac- ing Christianity; while St. Paul the greatest champion of the gospel, was gained from the ranks of the Phari- sees. The Apostles were arrested in the evening and put in prison. The tier morning St. Peter and St. John were brought before the Sanhedrin immedi- ately after the hour of the moreing sacrifices. Annas and Caiaphas were both present on this occasion. The former was recognized by the court as the true high priest and the latter as the legal one so far as the Roman were concerned. The Sadducees, doubtless, on this occasion, made ev- ery effort that their own party should attend the council' meeting, feeling the importance of crushing the rising sect, in the very bud. We read, there- fore, that with the high priest cane "John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest." It was before such a hostile audi- ence that the Apostles were now call- ed to witness, and here they first prov- ed the power of the Divine words, "When they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak; for it shall be given you in that safrie ".bur what ye shall speak." St. Peter threw himself upon God and when ask- ed "By what power, or by what name have ye done this?" he found that his trust was not in vain. He was at the moment of need filled with the Holy Ghost, and was enabled to testify with a power which defeated his de- termined foes. He had had no time to prepare an answer to their question which would be suitable for ears trained in all the arts of oratory as then practised amongst the ancients, whether Jews or Gentiles. So his Master gave him an assurance of strength and skill such as none of his, adversaries could equal or resist. "It is not` ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you." The Apostles' address (9-12) was kindly, but it was plain spoken. The Sanhedrin were sitting as a board of inquisitors. They did not deny the miracle which had been wrought. "And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it." They merely in- quired as to the sources of the power, whether they were divine or diaboli- cal. It was a very natural inquiry in the mouth of an ecclesiastical • body such as the Sanhedrin was. St. Peter had learnt by his Jewish training the tremendous importance and solemnity of names. Prophet and palmist had taught St. Peter that holy and revered was the name of God, and thus was impressed upon him the power and meaning which lie in idate Child One of five girls all of whom took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills (tonic).

The telegram reads like this: Use every legitimate means to see that the Senate passes the Blank Bill with enough majority to override a presidential veto. Use letters, telegrams and radio to bring pressure on your Congressmen and Senators. So Congress ,is flooded with Legion messages. Legislators are likely to find that opposing a Legion measure is like p eking one's political head out of a train window. Not that the Legion ever enters the electoral lists in a body at the polls. What happens is this: Politician X is running for Congress against incumbent Repres- entative Y. Mr. X, who, as a matter of course nowadays, has contact with some Legion post, gets that poet to write to the National Legislative Com- mittee in Washington for his oppon- ent's record. The Legislative Com- mittee, which has a complete record of every piece of legislation even re- motely affecting ex -service men, re- sponds with Representative Y's bill of health. If the luckless Y has ever been on the wrong side of the fence, his opponent, X, finds it out, and so is furnished ammunition for his cam- paign speeches. His foe, Mr. X in- forms the district, is unpatriotic—is against the soldier boys. The Legion's gradual sensing of its political power is illustrated in its attitude toward the adjusted com- pensation. At its first national con- vention, the Legion felt that propriety would not permit it to take a stand in so delicate a financial matter, lest it be regarded as selfish. This retic- ence lasted only 90 days. Then the Legion national executive committee met in Indianapolis and took a cau- tious step 'forward by resolving that all service men were "entitled" to ad- justed compensation and drew up :i bill. By the time the Legionnaires met for their second convention, they were a trifle less shy about the bill, and directed the Committee to "take such action as is necessary to insure its prompt passage." By the fifth convention the Legion felt itself in position to make a definite threat. "The time has arrived," trumpeted the resolution, "for the acid test of the government's intentions to finally dis- pose of this measure, as it cannot longer delay its passage and retain the confidence of the veterans. We hereby insist that there be no further delay." Then in 1924, Congress, thor- oughjy frightened, passed the adjusted compensation act over the veto of President 'Coolidge. The principal preoccupation of the Legion, after affairs such as adjusted compensation, is with preparedness for the next war. As with all vigor- ous campaigns for preparedness, the danger lies in overstepping the indis- tinct line that divides preparedness from jingoism:'- The Legion wants America to have a navy, if not the biggest in the world, at least second to none. Recently the Legion has be- come emboldened to request that here- after a representative of the Legion be permitted to accompany American delegations to all disarmament con- ferences, as an observer. Similarly, the Legion is interested in promoting what it conceives to be adequate preparedness on land. In so doing, it has sponsored two rather radical propositions, universal military training and universal draft. These suggestions would have startled our perhaps too peaceful, liberty -loving forefathers. Temporarily the Legion is devot- ing its attention to stimulating vol- untary military training, securing in- creased appropriations for summer Citizens' Military Training Camps. The Legion is insistent that every col- lege and university aided by govern- ment reserve funds must maintain a compulsory Reserve Officers' Training Corps, . and is quick to rebuke any in- stitution which harkens to student de- mands to abolish this arm of the. ser- vice. It is also interested in One Hundred Per Cent. Americanism, in anti -Bolshevism, and in providing pro- perly patriotic history textbooks for schools—to the extent of having them rewritten if necessary. "The Legion," its Legislative Com- mittee triumphantly proclaimed to a convention, "has made a lasting im- pression upon thel nation's capital such as no other organization, sni ation , educa- tional, religious, or patriotic or his- torical has been able to make." Is this irresistible power wisely and tolerantly guided ? The reply natur- ally depends on one's own point of view. Some persons will feel unable to give a whole -hearted affirmative. this time on, trust her life to Christ. In common with practically all heath- en women she is unable to read, but is quite determined to learn and gives bright promise of becoming a valuable acquisition to the Church of Christ in this land. During the remaining+ time the missionary had the privilege of teaching her more of the new life upon which she had entered, and she proved an apt pupil. Word has since come that she and her father regu- larly walk the intervening miles to worship every Sunday morning with the people of this their nearest church. The way was long that day and the missionary very tired as the crossing of two high mountain passes necessi- tated a great deal of walking, but surely it was abundantly worth while when God used the mere passing by as a mean towards the salvation of these two precious souls.—Miss Em- ;iia Palethorpe.

The fourth chapter of the Acts brings the Apostles into d thus join hands THE AMERICAN LEGION IN POLITICS The country has recently watched its legislators, over•the protest of the President, throw open the doors of the Treasury to ex -soldiers by the passage of the so-called bonus bill in- creasing the loan value of the adjust- ed compensation certificates. In do - ;ng so, Congress risked offending tax- payers and defined important banking interests. In a contest against the (taxpayers and the bankers, the Am- erican Legion won. Our national legislators are asking themselves: "What next?" The an- swer is pretty generally admitted in Washington. These adjusted service certificates originally were intended to discharge in full the government's financial obligation to able-bodied ex- rcr vice men, and thus avoid the pen- sion scandals that followed the Civil War. The certificates are in the form of paid-up life insurance, the princi- pal payable in entirety in 1945. But it is doubtful whether the veterans will ever be called upon to pay back the present loans, for before long Con- gress will cash the certificates in full. Long before 1945 the money will be all spent. Then the Legion will lead the fight for pensions, and again the Treasury gates will swing wide. What can be done about it? Noth- ing. The American Legion, whose constitution says the organization "shall be absolutely non-political," has become the most powerful political bloc in the United States to -day. The achievements of the Legion in politics are by no means accidental. Bills do not just happen to pass Con- gress. When the Legion was first or- ganized, a small committee was ap- pointed to represent it in Washing- ton. Gradually a lobby was created. To -clay the machine directed by John Thomas Taylor is the envy of all What ' n the capital. i ooh -rats other lobbyists � other organization can boast of hav- ing forced three bills through Con- gress over the vetoes of presidents? The power of the Legion's lobby machine can be properly appreciated in its true light only when we con- sider what a comparatively small pro- portion of the nation's population it represents. Just who exerts this power? The 5,000,000 men who serv- ed in America's armies in the World War? No, for only 700,000 of them are members in good standing of the American Legion. This means that the Legion, before whom the legisla- tors quake, represents less than a fifth of the veterans in the nation. The official desires of the Legion are recorded by the annual conventions, at which the attendance may be 100,- 000, or two per cent. of the nation's veterans. Actually, the important de- cisions are arrived at by a very small dominant group. In a legislative crisis, the Legion machine can muster great strength. From the Legislative Committee goes forth a telegram to 48 State Com- manders who relay it to 12,000 Legion their first contact with the Jewish state authori- ties. It shows us the secret springs which led to the first persecution, typ- ical of the fiercest that ever raged against the church and displays the calm conviction and moral strength by which the Apostles were sustained. imome FOR 'YOWL VACATION 1.OWTOURIST FARES JASPER NA ioNAL tpARK r PACS riC COAST ALASKA , This Bummer take the trip -to the Coast you'v - anways protrelsed yourself.

To the rulers it was the same. It was "by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, this man doth stand here before you whole." The Sanhedrin understood the importance of this point and, after consultation, called back the prisoners and "commanded then not to speak at all nor teach in The resul t must of Jesu..0 . the name have been beyond their power of com- prehension. St. Peter and St. John both affirmed their inability to obey then rather than God. Finding noth- ing how they might punish them "they threatened them and let them go."

Those same adults never per- mit the child to even consider that he will not do as well as they do. 'The results of this system, of train- ing are truly amazing. Children of three are perfectly at home amid the perils of their water world. They can swim as well as they walk; they_can climb up and down the slippery house piles; they can tread their way sure and quick footed over the treacherous muddy shallows of the lagoon at low tide. They can be trusted to carry father a glowing cinder to light his pipe, without fear that they will fall and set the light thatched house on fire.

After the mission- ary had been there three or four days a young woman called to see her and gradually she learned her story. She lives with her husband and father, just the three of them, in a little mountain village three or four miles from Nopal. For some time, here father has had a desire to know more of the Christian religion, but there are no Christians in the village and opportunities of hearing were rare. One day, however, a strange proces- sion passed their village, a cart carry- ing provision boxes, bedding, etc., and following it, a Korean man and wo- man and a queer -looking foreigner. Enquiry elicited the information that these strangers were on their way to Nopai, and were teachers of "The Jesus Doctrine" and were to spend a few days thbre teaching. The final result was that her father de- cided this was their chance, and this morning, started off with his daugh- ter to "learn the way." He carte, found the helper who bad formed part of the procession and the elder of the local church and then and there de- cided from that time forward to be- come a Christian. After his instruc- tors had prayed With him and given him sundry instructions in "The Way of Life," he started back home leav- ing his daughter to attend the even- ing meeting and the remaining day of the class. She, a very bright young woman of twenty -live, also decided to forsakeher devil worship and fr'o'nt 16 parents begin training them in hand- ling larger canoes, and it is no un- common sight to see a child of three or four, slowly punting along a 12 - foot canoe, while father sits patiently, cross legged upon the platform. The Manus are a busy people, ever up and about their fishing, their trading, their canoe building or voyaging; but they are never too busy to spare the time to properly train their small chil- dren, because they realize that upon good early physical adjustment the child's future efficiency depends. When the whole aini of the parental training is to make children feel at home in the world, feel self-reliant, easily resourceful, surely confident, they do not try to deter a child by the sayings which are so often on adults' lips among ourselves.

SriC si iCr� CO.g HtLSONAMMILTON, PAD WATER BABIES In a village of lagoon dwellers, peo- ple who raise their thatched houses on piles- in a water village half a mile from shore, I watched the parents of the Manus tribe train their small chil- dren to meet light-heartedly and ef- ficiently the continual challenge of their precarious water existence. And there was much in the eddcationai methods • of these lithe brown savages, in G string or grass skirt, which could be transplanted with profit into our educational systems. In the first place, the parents con- sidered that the physical training of their children was a serious matter, not one to be left to chance, nor the casual ministrations of other children —the primitive equivalent of ignorant nurse maids. The baby's first step, its experience in the water, its first ottempt to handle, a paddle and a punt, all were carefully supervised by a patient, attentive parent, They never forced the children to walk or swim or climb too soon. But a child was never allowed to go back- wards, to refuse to do something which he had shown he was strong enough to do. We are all familiar with children among ourselves who start to walk and fall down, ge g • painful bruise or a bad fright, and subsequently refuse to walls again for several months. The Manus are in- terested in the child's snaking the maximum physical adjustment of which he is capable; they have de- lighted praise and veciferrous applause for the baby's first step, cold indif- ference Soy the, baby who falls' down and refuses to take another step. The only way in which .the child can re- capture the delightful admiration of his elders•, is to Stifle his tries, strog- gle earnestly to his little bruised lege able, more sure of themselves. They learn to blame, not their tools, their canoes, their paddles, for mistakes, but them'selv'es, because they have a clear and accurate knowledge of how these mistakes were made. They are healthy, flexible minded children, su- premely safe in a dangerous world, made so by the intelligence and pat- ience with which their .parents train then so early that they have not time to learn to make inept adjustments to the physical universe. isi r1 Powe rP _.
