One 1 who in Spirit sued will say as Paul did. “Christ shall be magnified in my body. whether it be by life or by death" .‘ (Phil. 1. 20; Rom. xiv, 8). ' Let us learn from verse 23 of our leo- son that God’s foreknowledge of what wicked people will do to His people ; does not lessen the guilt of the evil-‘ ' doers. nor in any way excuse them.‘ Let us learn also that God permits evil- doers and even the devil. to work out unintentionally His purposes, for .He ; maketh the wrath of man to praise Him and restrains the reminder (PI. lxxvi. 10). May we ever rejoice in in; risen Living Christ. His finished work. thlnk that it we are Spirit filled we Ital] always see souls saved, for Sta- saw from their own Scripture, as un- folded to them by the Spirit through Peter, that their Messiah was to die and rise from the dead and thus be- come an immortal man, and that what had been done by their rulers in their blindness was also foreseen and record- ed, the Spirit convinced them of their sin, and they said to Peter and the rest. “Men and brethren. what shall we do?” (Verse 37.) T Peter urged them to repent and be baptized and receive remission of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit. This they gladly did. and that day about 3.000 Jews were added to the number of the saved in Christ (verses 38-41). This is one fulfillment of the words of the Lord Jesus, “Greater works than these shall he do because I go unto the Father" (John xiv, 12). We must not 1 His resurrection is seen there also in l verse 10. for one who dies can prolong 5‘ his days only by rising from the dead. Notice in this discourse Peter’s refer- : ences to the resurrection of Christ in ‘ verses 24. 30. 32. SGâ€"that by the res- ' urrection God made that same Jesus whom they had crucified both Lord 7 and Christ and that He had raised up I l Christ to sit on the throne of David. ; In I Pet. i, 21, we read that God raised {Him from the dead and gave Him ‘ giory. We seem to come nearest to . the Father’s heart when we. too, give ‘Hlm glory or seek in all things to glorify Him (1 Pet. iv. 11). When the prophet Micah predicted His birth in Bethlehem he spoke of Him as “ruler in Israel” (Mic. v. 2). and in the full- ! ness of time He wifsurely be King of i the Jews on the throne of David. burl He will also be the King or kings and Lord of lords, King (her all the earth (Luke 1, 32, 33; Rev. xvii. 1-1; xix. 16; Zech. xiv, 9). Being rejected (the Jews insisted on crucifying Him, saying. "We have no king but Caesar”â€"John xix. 14. 15). He ascended, and the heaven must re- ceive Him until the times of restora- tion of all things which God hath spo- ken by the mouth of all His holy proph¢ ets since the world began (Acts iii, 21). The congregation to whom Peter de- livered this discourse were all Jen devout men out of every nation under heaven (verse 5), and when they God meant not Solomon. but the Mes- siah, the Christ (11 Sam. vii. 12-19: Acts 11, 30). risen from the dead and immortal. The sufi’erings of Christ are most. vividly portrayed in Isa. liii, but God had told David that He would establish his throne and his kingdom forever in one of his descendants, and our lesson says that David knew that Him a place at His own right 'hand until the time should come for Him to overthrow His enemies according to P3. cx. and open the eyes of lsrael (Joel iii. 1, 2). Peter then told them that Je- ans of Nazareth, whom God had so manifestly approved among them, but whom they had by wicked hands crud- fled, God had raised from the dead, ae cording to His assurance to David in P3. xvi and 11 Sam. vii. and had given God. and it is written or that alone that it shall not return to Him void and that by it He will accomplish His pleasure (Isa. lv. 11). Peter quoted from Joel ii. 28â€"32, to show that this manifestation of the Spirit was a fulfillment of that predic- tion, and not any wild ravings of drunken men. The complete fulfillment of Joel’s words will be at the second coming of Christ to Judge the nations Thls is the first recorded sermon of a mere man filled with the Spirit. and it all sermons were molded on the same pattern the Holy Spirit could accom- plish much more than He is by an or- dinary sermon permitted to do, for in this sermon by Peter the Word of God is the substance of the discourse. He quoted at least four portions of Scrip- ture, the prophecy of Joel; ll Sam. vii; Psalms xvi and ex.

SUNDAY SCHOOL Then. too, several of my lady guests. having been captivated by the new idea, are putting their maids on the 1 same footing with themselves." I “That’s very nice.” replied Miss Aber- crombie. “I have always pitied a poor girl in a family keeping but one maidâ€" the lonely life she is forced to lead. I assure you that while a guest in your house I will do all in my power to carry out your benevolent plan.” Mrs. Sinclair excused herself and hastened upstairs to coach her guests before they should come down to din- ner that their dupe had been prepared to consider some of them servants. Bob Elliot. an inveterate Joker. was appointed to play butler. the regular butler lending Bob a livery.

My “I have heard of a lady of your name in the city who Is endeavorlng to solve the servant problem.” “I have come away from the'clty," said Miss Abercrombie, “to escape Christmas-not that I would not gladly welcome the holidays, but during the past few years I have lost all who might make them enjoyable for me. I felt this year that I could not remain at home, and, hearing of your family “I can understand your feelings per- fectly,” replied the hostess, “and we will endeavor to alleviate your loneli- ness so far as possible. My guests are all en rapport and will be happy to re- ceive you into the circle." An hour later, when the guests were dressing for dinner. Miss Abercrombie went downstairs to the hall or room used for lounging, where she found the hostess, whose manner was so friendly that she at once won her guest’s confi- dence. With this he vanished and reported to the hostess that a pretty girl had at- rived who had mistaken the house for a hotel and it would be jolly good fun to permit her to remain for awhile in ignorance. Mrs. Sinclair, who felt the responsibilities of an entertainer. seized upon the idea with alacrity. called a maid and. going to the new aro rival, welcomed her and sent her im- mediately to a room. The young lady having gone upstairs. the hostess charged her guests to keep the secret from the new arrival, each one striving to carry out the joke. * “Mrs. Sinclair runs this house. I will see her. and a maid will come and Show you to your room." Edwards took the lady’s handbag and other light articles. set them in a cor. nor, banded her a chair and said: room ?" “Yes; I would like a room for the holidays.” The party sitting before the fireplace repressed smiles or hid them While Mr. Now, it happened that several of the guests were sitting in the wainscoted hall before a huge fireplace, on the hearth of which blazed the Yule log. Naturally they were merry, and their principal amusement was cracking jokes at one another. When therefore Miss Abercrombie entered and asked 11' the proprietor were in. one of the young men, Mr. Jack Edwards, arose and said politely: But Mrs. Sinclair was endeavoring to work out her theory for others, not herself. In her homestead in the vil- lage of Sinclairâ€"everything was Sin- clair in the placeâ€"her servants treated her with the utmost deference. It happened that when the lady who had just arrived at the station, Miss Mil- dred Abercrombie, was being driven to the Sinclair House Mrs. Sinclair was entertaining a Christmas house party. The cabman. who was very stu- pid and a recent comer to the place, got the two houses mixed in his mind and drove Miss Abercrombie to the private house. There were two houses in the place, one the Sinclair inn, the other the resi- dence of Mrs. Sinclair, a rich and fashionable woman. The hotel had been named for the Sinclair family, who had for generations been the mainstay of the town. Mrs. Sinclair, like most fashionable women of those days, had taken up a fad in the serv- ant problem. Her theory was that servants should he treated with the same consideration as governesses. secretaries and persons of that ilk. They should associate with their em- ployers, in small families, where there were but one or two persons. eating at the same table with them. “Take me to the Sinclair House.” she said to the cabman. It was Christmas eve. A young lady, plainly dressed, emerged from Sinclair station and ca"ed a cab. the clerk. Would you like a m DURHAM CHRONICLE Then began a renewal or the court- ship. Elliot’s mother was well pleased with his marriage. for his wife brought him a fortune. A: for the guests at the Sinclair inn. they were summed and ashamed, but young Mn. Elliot and I‘m Sinclair became tut triad-.4 “What a fool I was to listen to the story that you were a seamstress! I should have known better." “You played your part well.” “You played yours to perfection. You should be on the stage." “Did you suppose,” she asked, smil- lng. “that one who had been always used to a butler would mistake you for one?” Presently there was a footstep on the main staircase. and Miss Aber- crombie entered the room. Her ap- parel was in accord with her present position. and he knew that she was a lady. dress of a family for whom she was sewing, he paused. then went up to the door and rang the bell. A butler show~ ed him into a drawing room and went away to announce the visitor. A young person of either sex when once thoroughly in love is likely to throw prudence to "ie winds. Elliot forgot his mother's , inns for himâ€"the fact that as a u."~ge professor he should marry a woman of some means; that a seamstress would likely have a lot of relatives that would not at all accord with the families of his associate professors. One evening. sit- ting alone in the gleaming with Mil- dred Abercromhie. while “the fittul firelight danced upon the wall," he tor- got himself so far as to make love to her, and that, of course. with an hon- orable man led to a confession of who and what he was and a proposition of marriage. The guests were invited for two weeks. After the first week they tired of keeping up the sham that had been devised and would have abandoned it but for the hostess. who would not con- sent Despite her efiorts to prevent. most of them turned a cold shoulder to Miss Abercromhie. Professor Elliot’s position was complicated. He was playing a part humbler than Miss Abereromhie's position. HOW could he abandon it and become his real self? What he had entered upon as a joke. when revealed. would likely not be con- sidered such by the girl, but offensive. Supposing he confessed his true char- acter. he did not rare to marry a seamstress. and she would consider that he had won her dishonorahly. From this time on all except Elliot gave their attention largely to other matters. He, despite the fact that Miss Abercrombie had turned out a seam- stress, seemed unable to withdraw his attentions from her. Put a number of young persons of opposite sex under the same roof with nothing to do but make merry and dirt, and those who are naturally as- similative will very soon assimilate. Professor Elliot. alias Robert the but- ler, soon became absorbed in Miss Abercrombie, and vice versa. The second day after her arrival Miss Abercrombie went to the hostess. confessed that she was a seamstress and, since the Sinclair inn was alto- gether too expensive for her. said she must leave at once. whereupon Mrs. Sin- clair told her she might pay what she could aflord. This somewhat dampened the enthusiasm of the house party. for a seamstress was persona non grata to most of the men and all the women. Mr. Elliot. a college postgraduate. had been considered not only a good fellow at the university. but very bright. He now occupied an assistant professorship at his alma mater. When the attraction between him and Miss Abercromhie became noticeable the other guests looked at one another meaningly. “What If there should be a mam!!!" whispered one. “If his mother were here she would take him away.” said another. “She thinks that a poor professor should marry some money. This girl, judging from her clothes. is as poor as he.” as to Miss Abercrombie's treatment of a butler as an equal and finding her complaisant he became a charming dinner companion. He and Miss Aber- crombie were soon noticed by the rest of the company to be oblivious to every one except themselves. Bob Elliot was a very attractive young man. Moreover, he had a sym- pathetic way with him. and after pre- tending for awhile to 1121 ve some doubts At one end of the table sat Mrs. Sin- clair, at the other Bob Elliot in but- ler’s livery.
