A new record in deep-sea diving has been established by use of a device invented by an American Negro. This man, a mechanic, previously had proved himself a daring diver, but it was the success of a special appliance and not his daring that made possible the record. Thus the ability of the Negro is further demonstrated. ANOTHER HAPPY SUBSCRIBER. Marshall, Mo. I am eleven years of age and go to school but I read the Sun between times.

ER KING "CLEA 00 NEW In a recent editorial one of our dailies justly attempts to remove from Oliver Cromwell the reproach applied by the masterly French critic, H. A. Taine, who called the great commoner and greater General a hypocrit. When a great man enters the lists to set in motion a reform and encounters studied, trained and untreated position, he may use weapons the critic on the sidelines do sanction because the corner has to work quick and fast and the approved weapon may be wanting. Cromwell did his work well considering his environment and time will declare it so. It is well from time to time to uncover forgotten heroes and to examine the conditions and the circumstances that produced them. Mr. Rucker Smith is performing a task of inestimable value to the Negro in his recurring articles on Liberia depicting the struggles of Christianized Negroes to establish and maintain independence. All the heroes the Negro child meets are white. It is next to impossible for a Negro to be a hero in countries where the Teuton predominates. Russia a Slav country has her Pushkin. France her Dumas, Dodd and others, Spain her Murille. Even Teutonic England has her Coleridge Taylor. But the American Negro child knows but little of them. The black heroes of the United States are either obscured or taken as jokes. But I wish to call attention to a black man who like Cromwell, born on an island and like Cromwell arose to be ruler of his island. In his brilliant panegyric, the eloquent Wendell Phillips exclaimed: "I would call him Cromwell, but Cromwell was only a soldier and the state he founded went down with him into his grave. This Negro himself a slave, the son of slaves brought fresh from Africa, who never saw a soldier until he was fifty years old, defeated the Spanish, whipped the French, humiliated and drove the English from his island. Then he ruled the issland as it had never been before, nor since. It was a happy country and no slave's tread suilled its soil. His strictness was that of the spartan. His humanity according to an enthusiastic admiring French man surpassed that of the lowly Nazarene. His justice was impartial. A recital of his virtues, his sterling character were forced from the reluctant pens of his enemies. He ap predicated the superior intelligence training and learning of the whites and when he was forming a Constipation for his country he employed eight whites and one colored. This virtue proved the one fault that his black countrymen could not overlook. Julius Caesar founded the Roman Empire but he never lived to rule. Toussaint L'Overture founded the Republic of Hayt but he never lived to preside over it. Naopleon Bona Parte sent his veterans, the heroes of countless battles in Italy, in Austria and in Egypt to reduce the island to slavery but let the historian tell the result Ashley in his modern European civilization Page 178 records: "To protect Louisiana from any possible invasion of the English. Napoleon sent an army to the new world, which was first to subdue Santa Domingo on the island of Hayt. Through the influence of an able Negro patron, Toussaint L'Overture, aided by the swamps of the island. Napoleon's army was destroyed. As he had now no troops for the protection of Louisiana and was ready for another conflict with his arch-enemy, Great Britian, Napoleon in 1803 sold Louisiana to the United States." Therefore the United States is indebted to a Negro for the acquisition of Louisiana. The French resorted to treachery, lead Toussaint L'Overture into a trap, disarmed him, carried him on board a man-of-war took him to Franch and cast him into a damp prison in its mountains and left him to die. Thus ended one of the most remarkable men the Western Hemisphere has produced. And the state he founded stood independent for more than a hundred years until our present administration landed marines upon the island and forced the Haytians to ATTENTION, Our Annual Special Rate and EXPIRES JANUARY 2 month.

This is the first instance in all history where a people raised themselves from slavery, founded and maintained a state. These were black people just in many cases one degree removed from savagery. How could they do it? They possessed a quality elogized in the ancient savage Teutons by an eminent historian. They had personal worth. Myers in his Mediaeval and Modern History on page 4 says: "European civilization is mainly the result of the blending of three historic elements—the Classical, the Hebrew and the Teutonic. The Teutons had neither arts nor sciences, nor philosopher, nor literatures. But they had something better than all these things they had personal worth." SOROSIS CLUB ENTERTAINED. On Monday afternoon December 29, Mrs. M. B. Carr and sister, Mrs. Fannie Parker entertained their club, the Sorosis, Mrs. T. G. McCampbell President, at their home on east Twenty-fourth street with a Christmas party. Seventeen of the twenty-four members were present, each expecting a surprise of some kind. From the exclamations of surprise and pleasure exressed when the second course was served they were not disappointed. Home made fruit cake, fresh cocoa nut cake and ice cream. The cream being in beautiful individual forms of tea roses, water lilies, water melons with one slice out to display the crimson inside, corn on the cob and beautiful natural tinted peas, each effect a different flavor. The following lailies were special guests of the party: Mrs. Clara Adams, Acting President of City Federation; Mrs. Annie Wheeler, recently of Oakland, Calif., Mrs. Fredericka S. Perry and house guests: Mrs. Carrie Straufford Nelson of Columbus, O., and Miss Alice Vanderzee of Topeka Industrial School; Mrs. Tyler, Mrs. Sam Winston, Mrs. Stella Woods; Misses Goldie Walker of Chicago, S.

When Ludwig Stoelpins, 2444 Brooklyn avenue, heard his chickens "fussing" about 3 o'clock Tuesday morning he called the police. John Pleasants, J. B. Hogan and A. A. Griffin, police men, responded and had no more than approached Stoelpins's chicken house when a shot whizzed by them. They fired in the direction of the revolver flash, and soon someone gave a groan and yelled that he was shot. A Negro giving the name of Max Jones, 23 years old, 1617 East Twenty second street, was taken from the chicken pen and removed to the old city hospital, where his condition was said to be critical. Rev. B. G. Dawson, B. D. pastor of Bethel church lectured to the Theo logical class of Shaffer Seminary Western University Tuesday after noon. SUN KEPT OPEN HOUSE.

The police in the last two weeks have had frequent complaints from girl telephone operators of a man who called on the phone and engaged in conversation of an obscene nature.

He was arrested, taken to the Nineteenth street police station and Tuesday morning was fined $200 in South Municipal court. ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL.

THREE SIMPLE SONGS One of the most delightful and highly appreciated literary gems that has come to the Editor of the Sun in years is the Trilogy entitled "HARP AND LUTE AND TAMBORINE" three simple songs in season," by Theophilus Bolden Steward, A. M. LLD, teacher of English at the Lincoln High School. That these verses have real merit is amply attested b y the fact that they were published in three famous publications: Poet Lore, the Independent and the Kansas City Star. The Editor thanks Prof. Steward for his kindly remembrance and has no hesitancy in saying that he is a worthy son of a brilliant sire, Chaplain T. B. Steward, Sr., retired U. S.

Prompt attention given to all business matters Birthplace of Lafayette Chateau de Chavagnac. BEFORE daylight on the morning of September 6, 1918, there was an unusual amount of bustle and stir in the little town of Aubierie, a suburb of Clermont-Ferrand, the capital of the department of Puy-Dome, in one of the most historic regions of France—the ancient province of Auvergne, says the Christian Science Monitor. What was the occasion which produced all this early morning excitement? Surely no call to battle or no signal to go over the top, because the actual horrors of the world war never extended into this sleepy corner of south-central France; and the American regiment quartered hereabouts was merely passing through the last stages of its preliminary training prior to its triumphant moment of action upon the heights of the Meuse, which occurred during the last days of the war. It was the one hundred and sixth anniversary of the birth of the great Lafayette, and the regimental band of Col. Arthur S. Conklin's Three Hundred and Third heavy field artillery regiment had been invited to share with a few American army officers the honor of representing the American expeditionary forces—yes, the United States of America—at the birthplace and the early home of the great hero who aided so much in the work of winning its independence as a nation. The last bandman had returned from the early breakfast served in the village square of Aubleire, and with his instrument had joined the crowd already climbing into the huge army motor trucks drawn up before the band's billet. As the first rays of the dawn appeared, and the procession of Aubleire's peasants commenced from the crooked alleyways of the town to the surrounding fields and vineyards, the trucks moved out of the village and over the hill toward Clermont. After the brief ride through the thoroughfares of the city of Clermont-Ferrand, which was just awakening to the day's activities, the handsmen arrived at the commodious railway station where specially reserved cars on the morning train south awaited them. After the sun was up the train ambled out of Clermont and was soon making its way leisurely through the colorful Auvergne country. The day proved to be perfect, warm, and clear; the views from the car windows were entrancing, and the "mademoiselles" tending the gates at each crossing waved their greetings to the groups of young Yankee soldiers which filled the windows of each compartment in the train. The landscape was dotted here and there with the picturesque red-roofed villages, from the center of which rose the gray stone church towers; the countryside seemed to be an immense vineyard filled with endless acres of grapevines; and the mountain peaks now extinct volcanoes, stood out in bold relief against the clear blue sky like sentinels. Occasionally an old castle ruined upon the travelers from some overhanging cliff or neigh boring hillside. After a ride of three hours, the train passed into the department of Hante Loire and made a short stop at Brionde, where many gayly-dressed country folk with their lunch baskets boarded the cars. A few moments later, the train reached the little village of Paulhaguet, where the order sounded to detrain. After much hurrying and scurrying about at the little way-station, many vehicles of every sort and description were pressed into service for the transportation of the men to their destination. Some rode in autos, some in carriages, and a bass tuba player with his immense instrument was obliged to ride on the SWAMP SOIL AMAZINGLY RICH Wilderness Offers Rich Return to Those Who Will Take Up Work of Reclamation Beginning with the great Dismal swamp just south of Norfolk, Va., and reaching in an almost unbroken strip of tungled wilderness in the Everglades of Florida, the swamp region of the South is one of the greatest undeveloped possibilities and one of the largest and most picture-sque bits of wilderness left in America. Neither its economic value nor its beauty is very generally appreciated. Every one knows about "the arid lands of the West" and how they are being reclaimed, but few realize that the southern swamp lands offer a far richer return in the work of reclamation. The deep black ooze which underlies their stagnant waters will make the richest soil in the world. This is the region which offers the best opportunity for the carrying out of our long-delayed program of furnishing farms for soldiers. The Setting Supreme. front seat of an outlandish coupe, by the side of the driver. The horse was not fleet-footed; and the tuba player reached the Chateau de Lafayette nearly an hour later than the other bandsmen, who had watched the great bell of his brass horn dazzling in the sun's rays, slowly making its way up the mountain road several miles below. Fine Ride to Old Castle. And what a ride it was! what superb scenery and glorious country, picturesque, mountainous! It seemed difficult to believe that a land of such overwhelming beauty in summer could in winter be transformed into a wild, bleak region known as the Siberia of France. It was a great day for the young Americans; a most delightful diversion from the daily routine in Aublere, marching drills and drills in the uncomfortable gas masks, band rehearsals, parades, and reviews, and evening band concerts in the town square. The Chateau de Chavagnac Lafayette stands upon the crest of a lofty eminence commanding a magnificent view of the beautiful Auvergne country; miles and miles of verdant fields and woods stretched far away to a distant horizon flanked with long ranges of majestic hills and mountains. The grounds of the chateau are spacious and attractive, and the little village of Chavagnac adjoins the estate on one side, while the other three sides are open to the distant view. The old castle itself, flanked on two sides with large round towers, presents a strikingly medieval appearance; long rows of French windows are built across the upper portion of the front of the building, and large portholes are seen on each side of the small main doorway. Castle Built in Fourteenth Century. The great hero is a direct descendant of Pons Motier and the noble Alix Brun de Champeteres who were married in 1240, and according to the old parish register in Chavagnac Lafayette's full name was Moneigeigneur Marie-Joseph-Paul-Yves-Roch-Gilbert Dumont de Lafayette. Here, in this grim old castle, the Marquis de Lafayette spent the first 11 years of his life; and in later years the hero returned to his birthplace after his triumphant career in America and lived here for a time with his family. He instituted various kinds of reforms on his estate and in the villages adjoining; and all of the work for the people of his native town was for their betterment, their enlightenment, and emancipation. The peasantry were greatly attached to him. The later years of Lafayette were spent at his wife's estate, La Grange, 40 miles east of Paris. The latter part of the forenoon of this anniversary day in 1918 was spent in looking over the estate and neighboring village. The handsmen were conducted through the chateau, saw Lafayette's own room and what few relics are to be seen, including a peculiar looking article of furniture designated as his bathtub. Many of the American boys wandered through the quaint, picturesque village, visited the venerable parish church and purchased beautiful lace work made by the women of the town to send home to their friends. There is no type of country which offers such effective resistance to invasion and improvement as a southern swamp. Tropical jungle is no more dense and much easier cut through, for the bulk of the tropical growth is soft. But a Georgia swamp, for example, consists of a close growth of hardwood trees and tough bushes interlaced with various kinds of vines and creepers such as the vicious green briar with its inch long thorns. The whole has much of the quality of a barbed-wire entanglement.—Niksah, in Chicago Dally News. Kept Guessing. "When you see a man doing some fool stunt on the street nowadays," remarked the Observer of Events and Things, "you can never tell whether he's doing it on a bet or is working for some moving-picture concern." The trend of an English inventor's automobile tire contains numerous small pieces of steel, so inserted in the rubber that the latter does not touch the ground. Kept Guessing. What's the Benefit?

We humans have a dire way of talking about the calm before a storm as though it was a brief internession in a bitter round of evil days.

If the weather is suky and tearful, sniffing to itself in little guss of drops or occasionally bursting into a good steady cry, it may remain unsettled for days. But when it lets itself out into a real tantrum it will hardly outlast the sunset. The other morning trouble began to brew before sunrise. The fitful night wind steadied with the light as though it had just awakened to the fact that it had a good day's work ahead of it. For a time it hovered, as though to survey the world. It poked into odd corners, combed the long grass, took stock of all the fag ends the summer leaves behind, like a householder inspecting his premises after his tenants have departed to town for the winter. It is really surprising, the amount of muss it found. The most careless housewife hardly dares to let her ashes and potato peelings accumulate beyond a certain point, but summer gets cluttered up with all manner of unconsidered riffles. Even such tiny things as the husks of seeds, the wings of gnats, the cast-off down of the little birds, accumulate into surprising amounts. Smaller, but still more untidy, are the moids and germs, elements of decay which have their place in the scheme of things, but must not be allowed to usurp that of their betters. All these things the wind found. It sighed and set to work sweeping the earth with angry, vigorous blasts. And the dust rose up and filled it with stifling clouds. Like the Augean stables, here was a task nothing less than a river could wash clean. It reached out for a lowering cloud which hung far in the western sky and dumped its contents until every crack in our part of the earth's floor was running over. It scoured and rubbed and scrubbed and rinsed until it squeezed that cloud completely dry and flung it back to the highest rack of heaven until it should be fit to use again. And then it went on polishing up the world until it was fairly dry again. And while it worked its voice took on a satisfied contented sound. For this particular corner of the universe was as fresh and clean as it had been in early spring. Ole Hanson's Early Ambitions In the World's Work Ole Hanson thus relates the unique circumstances of his first night at Seattle: "When I came to Seattle in 1902, I pitched my tent on Beacon hill, a close-in, nonsettled part of the city. The first night I arrived I stood on the hill and saw the child-city spread out before me. Below me to the west were the tide lands covered with bulrushs, with an occasional street on stilts running over them; to the north was the city ablaze with light with small buildings, narrow streets, a station house for a depot and hills and hills, covered with forests. "Around the fire that night I told the curious who had gathered to watch the strangers that we had come to Seattle to make it our home, to be a part of its growth, and that some day I would be its mayor. Of course, they laughed at the idea of the red-headed stranger with his team and covered wagon becoming the mayor of their city of 100,000 people." Czechs Superb Artists As artists, the Czechs have power, imagination and superb technique. Their sketches show the pride and manhood of the Czech soldier, who has gone through all the demoralizing experiences that have ruined the Russians, but has come through clean and sound. The Czechs are musical. To hear the marching songs of the Russian soldiers in Petrograd was inspiring. But the Czechs have more than music in their singing—they have a challenge and a promise. The Czechs sing as though they were creating a "Marsellaise" and not simply repeating it. Czech music, whether it be the marching song among the box cars, or the violin solo in the Red Cross car among the wounded, is like that. Months of Winter Astronomically winter is reckoned to begin in northern latitudes when the sun enters Capricorn, or at the solstice (about December 21), and to end at the equinox in March; but in ordinary speech winter comprises the three coldest months—December, January and February, being reckoned the winter months in the United States, and November, December and January in Great Britain. Good Guess. Apple was among the first words on which the class had been well drilled. One day when Betty's attention was elsewhere the word ape was introduced. In the drill which followed "ape" was Betty's word. She looked at it somewhat puzzled, then smiled at her teacher and said: "Half apple."—Chicago American. Story of the Emerald.

Clever Management of Braid in Suits THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY WHITE GOODS SALE THE FASHION WEEKLY Braid and buttons have been the accustomed decorations for suits for so long a time that we take them as a matter of course and are not surprised to find them among any season's productions. Their popularity ebbs and flows; occasionally there is a season when they almost disappear and then comes a time when there is no getting away from them. They have been at the ebb for the past two seasons—sparingly but most cleverly used in ingenious ways that are surprisingly novel. Like the return of old friends after an absence, braid and bone buttons are welcome, especially when we discover them so smart and original in application. The suit at the right has a few buttons and a little braid, but these are used with consummate taste. The braid appears in a lattice-work ap WHITE GO The heads of well regulated households take inventory of the wardrobes of their families in January, with a view to replenishing undermusels. This is the time also to go over the household linen chest and maintain its standard of sheets, pillow cases, towels, etc. Early in January the white goods sales are featured in dry goods stores along with showings and sales of undermusels. Styles change less in undermusels than in other apparel, although there are usually new and interesting developments on trial in the January sales. The limit of sheerness has been reached and there is a reaction away from it and away from silks. They have become too popular and too showy to suit the fastidious. A return to fine cottons and handwork is a step in advance, which evidences the cultivation of good taste in people who have money to spend and are learning how to spend it. Batiste in good qualities is the favored fabric for underthings. Although it is fine and dainty it stands up well under the strain of wear and tubbing. Like other clothes the most economical practice is to have a supply large enough so that the same gar Dresses as Her Mother Did. In one respect is the young girl of this season dressed as her mother was 18 or 20 years ago. She wears, as her mother did then, chiffon and gauze and net scarfs stamped about with flowers, borderwise. The newest scarfs are seemingly exact duplicates of those women used to wear a score of years ago. They are pretty, too, but not quite so much in keeping with the tone of modernity as are the long swirls of bright-colored tulle that seem to be their alternative. Sometimes plique on the front and back of the coat, which is a vague-fitting belted model, conservative and graceful. Buttons are set along the top of the pockets and on the narrow belt at the back. It is a suit for any clime or any season. The suit at the left differs only by having more buttons set in two long rows at the back, with bands of braid joining them. They form a narrow panel that is turned under, in most unexpected fashion, at the bottom. It is little, unusual touches of this kind that give clothes distinction. Designers who determined to use braid evidently made up their minds to think up new ways of applying it. These are only two of several braid-trimmed models that have compelled admiration for their originality and ingenuity. OODS SALE ments do not have to be laundered very often. New chemise and night-dresses, blouses, petticoats and corset covers made of it do not differ much from those of last year. A pretty nightdress, shown in the picture is a good model to copy, and other garments can be made with the same design in decoration. Very narrow cross-burst tucking, fine val lace edging, set together with beautiful, painstaking exactness, account for its trimming. A novel management of the tucks reveals them in groups instead of single tucks in the cross bars. The lace is set in in scallops and a little fine embroidery finds place on the scallops. Morning jackets, negligees and breakfast caps come in for consideration at this season, also the holidays brought out the usual number of pretty caps of silk or ribbon and lace or net. A few of them are made with wire support like the glorified Dutch bonnet shown in the picture which requires lace, silk and a little ruching, together with the ingenuity of a good copyist to make it. Julia Bottomly these tulle scarfs, very wide, are held in at the ends with interesting tassels or barbary colored beads. Gypsy Styles. A revival of a style long neglected is the featuring of bracelets, earrings, pendants, rings and pins of old gold, decorated with black enamel and pearls. Jewelry of this type had long been well liked by gypsies and very elderly ladies, but it had not been regarded with favor by women generally for over thirty years. DO BUSINESS IN THE OPEN itinerant "Merchants" in City of Mexico Flourish Exceedingly, Especially on Sundays. Conditions in the republic which have crowded a million persons in Mexico City, or more than 300,000 above its normal population, have increased greatly the number of itinerant merchants who set up shop where their whim wills. It is impossible to find a street in the city where some vendor has not set up a stall. A person desiring to outfit a house can buy almost everything needed without placing a foot within a regular shop. Let a prospective buyer merely hint that he is in the market for something and he is besieged immediately by a crowd of energetic salesmen, who dilate in machine-gun Spanish on the worth of their wares. Sunday is the busiest day for these merchants. They foregather principally in the plazas, spread their goods about them and patiently wait for customers. Their numbers are augmented by men and women, boys and girls, all of them selling candies, fruits, shoes-strings, pottery, tobacco, drinks, bright-colored ribbons, shoes, hats, dogs, cats, gophers and the dozens of varieties of food of which chill is the most important component. The plazas present an animated appearance. Bands are playing, whistles are blowing, newsbows call their editions, a man with a wheel of chance beseches the credulous to try their luck; a boy with a huge basket balanced atop his head offers sweetmeats at 5 centavos each, and following him comes a seller of ice cream with his frozen dainties tucked away in a container which he juggles perilously on his head but never loses a spoonful, and above all shines a glorious sun which gives no hint of brooding problems of existence. It is a happy life the native leads on Sunday, when with a few centavos he may fill his stomach with sweets, bask in the warm sunshine and listen to music furnished by a Mexican band. A man from the United States, who on a recent Sunday morning took his seat in a plaza, within a few minutes had his shoes shined, his nails manicured, his breakfast served, his morning newspapers delivered, his measure taken for a suit of clothes and was offered an assortment of diamonds and opals at a bargain. He concluded that there may be more modern methods of conducting business, but none more picturesque than that employed by the outdoor merchant. Believes in Physical Training. Marguerite L. Smith, elected to the New York state assembly from the Nineteenth New York district, is twenty-five years old and a specialist in physical training and her election is, she believes, the natural outgrowth of the work she has been doing in her community all through the war. She will not give up her work as physical director in the Horace Mann Elementary school, where she is also supervisor of girls' clubs. In the summer for several years Miss Smith has been director of the physical training and dancing at Camp Hanoum, a girls' camp in Vermont, and has also superintended the girls' hikes through the White mountains. When she was in a teachers' college Miss Smith was president of the athletic association for two years and received the highest individual score for athletics in her senior year. "I never had any legislative or political plans for myself," she says. "I haven't now. But I want to keep on working for the people of my own community in whatever way I can." No Wonder My, how her feet did hurt! It was now two o'clock in the afternoon and she had been trapping about all day in search of Christmas bargains. It was a balmy fall day and she couldn't lay the hurting to the weather. Her shoes were two or three months old and had never caused her distress before. But there was no denying the aching appeal for relief from the lower extremities and she hied herself to a restroom in one of the downtown stores. She stooped to unlace the shoes and horror of horrors! She had been walking all day with each shoe on the wrong foot. London's Fine Fig Trees If the average Londoner were asked where the best show of fig trees was to be seen in central London he would probably think you were pulling his leg. Yet here it is, and in such a conspicuous place as Trafalgar square. The fig trees against the lower walls of the National gallery, inclosing the little shaven lawn, flourish exceedingly, and give a note of desirable freshness to that much critiqued piece of architecture. A thoughtful observer suggested the other day that the leaves of the National gallery fig trees might be intended for use inside.—London Chronicle.

LESSON FOR JANUARY 11 PETER AND JOHN HEAL A LAME MAN. LESSON TEXT—Acts 3. GOLDEN TEXT—Freely, ye have received, freely give, Matt. 10.8. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL-Matt. 10,7; Mark 12:28; Luke 4:46; Luke 14:20; Pete 4:11; PRIARY TOPIC-A Lame Man Made PHARY JUNIOR TOPIC-Peter and John at the Beautiful Gate. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC-IC-Faith and a Helping Hand. The indications are that some months had elapsed since Pentecost. The believers were being taught by the apostles, who were showing their credentials by their mighty works (2:43). 1. The Lame Man Healed (vv.1-11). 1. The occasion (v. 1). Peter and John were going to the house of worship. They were going up to Jerusalem to worship though they knew full well the corruptions of Judaism. What is needed today is not separation from denominational bodies so much as for those who know the Lord and the higher things of the Christian life to help lead those who lack three things into the better way. At any rate, those who know the Lord will not neglect the place of worship. 2. The place (v. 2). It was at the beautiful gate which led from the outer to the inner court of the temple. This man was placed at the entrance of the place of worship, because where man comes closest to God he also comes closest to his fellow man. Human instinct is quick to discern this. Beggars are seldom found at doors of theaters and infidel lecture hall. 3. The man (vv. 2, 3). This beggar was inform from his birth. 4. The method (vv. 4-8). (1) Gained the man's attention (v. 4). Peter and John commanded him to look on them. Having secured his attention they gave him more than he asked or expected. He asked for money and got healing. (2.) Peter commanded him in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to rise up and walk (v. 6). This was the very thing he had been unable to do for so many years. Was not this mocking his very impotency? No! No! It was in the name of Jesus. With the commandment went the ability to do. (3.) Peter took him by the right hand (v. 7). This act was meant to give impetus to his faith, not strength to his ankles. (4.) The man's response (v. 8). Strength came to his feet and ankle bones at once. He stood, he walked he leaped and shouted praise to God He thoroughly advertised the miracle He ascribed the honor to God for his healing and walked into the house of God. The one who has experienced the life of Christ will surely make it manifest. 5. The effect (vv. 9-11). The people were filled with wonder and amazement. The multitude ran together to see this wonderful thing. There was no question as to the genuineness of the miracle, for this man was a familiar figure for many years. This miracle may be regarded as a parable setting forth the work of the church in the world. (1.) The helpless beggar had to be carried to the temple gate. Men and women out of Christ are spiritually helpless; they need to be brought where the life of God can be applied to them. We should bring sinners to Christ. (2.) Taking him by the hand shows the manner of the Christian's help. 11. Peter Witnessing of Jesus Christ Before the Multitude (vv. 12-20). This miracle focused the attention of the people upon Peter and John. Peter immediately turned their attention from himself to Christ. This is most unlike the claimants to divine power today. Disclaiming power of his own, he seized the opportunity to preach Christ to the people who had assembled. He told them it was faith in Jesus Christ, whom the God of their fathers had glorified, whom they deliberately delivered up and denied before Pilate when he desired to set him free, and that they desired a murderer to be granted freedom instead. He showed that the disciples were also witnesses that God had raised Jesus from the dead, and charged home upon them their awful guilt; for they had denied the holy one and the just, and chosen Barabbas, a murderer, instead of Christ, and killed the Prince of Life. He appealed to them to repent (v. 19), telling them that they had committed this awful crime in ignorance, God would pardon their sin if they would repent. He assured them that Israel would yet enjoy refreshing seasons from the Lord, when God should send Jesus Christ back to earth to consummate the work of redemption. He appealed to the Scriptures as the basis of his warnings and promises (vv. 22-26). Have Courage. In the present turmoil the giddy and thoughtless are revelling and rioting. The cost of living is high, but multitudes are living high. Wise men are troubled and sometimes lose faith in their fellows because of their folly. Now is the time for the strong of heart to show themselves strong. God still lives and will use omnipotence to help those who trust him and stand for righteousness. Let men of courage now show their courage and cooperate with God in saving the world from moral bankruptcy. Christians in these perilous days must lean hard on God, who will yet bring confusion upon his enemies. "Oh Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who trusteth in thee."—Arkansas Methodist.
