Hoe relates, writes a corâ€" respondent of The Christian Science Monitor, that Spain in the fifteenth century, when practically all the world‘s gold was carried to the Iberian peninsula from the mines of South America, designed a coin of eight reals‘ value which bore on one of its faces a representation of two columns (the columns of Hercules) intertwined by a riband in the form of a letter S bearing the inscription "Plus Ultra." Englishmen called these coins "pillatr dollars," taking the word dollar from the German coin known as a "thaler.‘ When the United States Congress in 1787 decided to strike a coin known as a dollar, with the same value as the Spanish "pillar dollar," accountants naturally used as the sign for this new coin the old device of pillars interâ€" twined with a garland waich is so well known toâ€"day in the form of an S with a dollar bar. \ "Indoed you can.

But Peter and John exclaimed, "Whether it be right ’in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard."

The believers gave themâ€" selves to prayer "with one accord"â€"â€" that is, with united eagerness. They prayed intensely, passionately. In similar case, many Christians might decide that a delegation to the Sanâ€" hedrin would be a better plan. These believers gave themselves passionateâ€" ly to prayer. For what did they pray?

The cure and the preaching attracted the attention of the ecclesiastical authorities. The rulâ€" ers were alarmed lest the peop‘e should follow this new sect.

The preacher‘s loyalty was matched by his courage. Boldly he proclaimed that the one whom they had crucified as a criminal was the promised Deliverar. The healing of the beggar was an example of his power.

As a matter of fact, power is seldom reâ€" quired continuously at full load and many sites are developed to produce considerably more than their capacity, rated at the continuous or even six months basis, they being able to store the flow at times of light load and draw upon it when the power demand is at its peak, An analysis of existing power installation indicates that the presently known resources would perâ€" mit of a total turbine installation of approximately fortyâ€"four million horse power. age.
