A good joke is told on one of our o^Ntie-river neighbors, who several years ago had a family of good lookj.' * ing daughters, who were smart and good workers. They, of course, grew l up and the boys, as is natural, took a fancy for them and wanted to marry them, but the old gentleman for aome reason (perhaps best known to himself) objected and used every precaution to nrevent any of them from marrying, and especialy one young fellow, who was distasteful to the old man. As time passed on this young lellow and his girl went on with ttwir courting unbeknowing to old mam He had the house surrounded with a strong paling fence and there was no means of ingress nr j agress, except through the gate. | ? wliich he kept pretty well guarded i both night and day. Tliey knew they ' would have to run away if they got married. So one mourning he awoke to find a bole in an unguarded part of the fenee and his girl was gone? gone to get married against his will or wish. He was at his wit's end. . None of the family claimed any t? knowledge of the elopement, but the told man thought differently. Turning to his other girls, whom he suspected would soon follow suit, he said: "If you want to go, go now while the way is open."?Gaffney (S. C.) Ledger. So. 9- '09. PRIZE FOOD j Palatable, Economical, Nourishing. !i\j A Nebr. woman has outlined the prize food in a few words, and that from personal experience. She writes: "After our long experience with Grape-Nuts, I cannot say enough in Its favor. We have used this food almost continually for seven years. "We sometimes tried other advertised breakfast foods, but we invariably returned to Grape-Nuts as the most palatable, economical and nourishing of nil.

Subject: The Gospel in Samaria, Acta 8:4.C3?Golden Text, Acts 8:0 ?Commit Verses 14, 15?Commentary on the Lesson. TIME.?35-37 A. D. PLACE.? Sam aria. EXPOSITION.?I. Baptized Willi the Holy Ghost as Well as With Water, 14-17. The apostles gladly received the Intelligence that the de- I spised Samaritans had received the | Word of God. They sent their very best men to foster the work. Peter and John on their arrival found that none of the converts had received the Holy Spirit. Certainly anions this company of baptized believers there were some regenerate persons, but we are distinctly told that "as yet the Holy Spirit had fallen upon none of them." They were precisely in the position of many in the church today. They had believed the truth concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, and had been baptized, but they had not received the Holy Spirit a3 a distinct and definite personal experience. So important did the apostles regard It that believers should receive the Holy Soirit that the first thing they attended to was this. They evidently thought that the way to obtain the Holy Spirit was by prayer (v. 15; cf. Luke ?.i -13). It was now years after Pentecost, and still we find the apostles praying for the Holy Ghost. We cannot improve upon their method. The reception of the Holy SDirit bv these Samaritan converts was something so very definite and marked that Simon saw it. It has been argued from the fact that the apostle3 laid their hands upon tbem that the Holy Ghost can only be given by the laying on of an apostle's hands, and "as the apostles are no longer with us the gift of the Holy Ghost is not for to-day." This is strange logic and contradicts plain Scripture teaching, for it was not an anostle, but i.ivr. n, a cenain aiSCipie. " WHO laid hands on Saul when he received the Holy Gho3t (Acts 9:10, 111. The household of Cornelius received the Holy Ghost without the laying on of any one's hands (ell. 10:4 4). The Samaritan believers did not have to spend weel;3 "waiting for their Pentecost." It came the moment the conditions were fulfilled. It was so everywhere in Acts after Acts 2:1. II. Baptized With Water, but Cnregenernte, 18-25. Simon desired to buy the power of imparting the Holy Spirit. His heart was so thoroughly corrupt with selfishness and covetousness that he wouid tarn God's gift into a way of unholy gain. This brought a stern rebuke and awful warning. Tt is all very solemn. Are there not to-day those who are longins anrl nravSnw f - > *' ? ? ...3 iui mr uainibiu wun the Holy Spirit for their own aggrandizement or pain? An evangelist once snolce on the baptism with the Holy Spirit. A pastor as he walked home with him said. "That is just what I need. I must have the baptism with the Holy Spirit. I am now getting 51200 a year. If I had this baptism with the Holy Spirit I believe I could pet SI500." That, was frightful. but this pastor only put into plain words what mp.nv another has dimly felt and for this reason has longed and prayed for the gift. Let all such ponder the solemn words in vs. 2 0-23. Such a view of the matter reveals an irreverence toward God uiiu a aelilshuess so profound as to make pardon almost impossible (v. 22). The one who thinks that God's gifts can he purchased with money does not know Onrt nm tv>o ^v. of His grace. All of God's gifts are gifts indeed. They are not to be ourchased, but received (Is. 65:1; Rom. 6:23; Enh. 2:8; Rom. 11:6). Simon had believed Pliilln's doctrine and had been baDtlzed with water (v. 13), but he was an unregenerate man. his heart was not right in the sight of God, and he had no part nor lot in this matter. The only one who has j part or lot in the matter of the gift of the Holy Ghost is the one whose heart is right in the sight of God (cf. Heb. 1:9; Acts 5:32). It matters j little whether our hearts are right in the sight of man, the question is. are our hearts right in the sight of God. We need forgiveness not only for our outward acts, but also for the thoughts of our heart. Simon was in the visible church, but nevertheless he was "in the gall of bitterness and the bond of iniquity." There is no gall so bitter as the gall cf sin. There is no bond so strong as the bond of iniquity tJohn 8:34). Simon did not want to draw near to God himself, so asked Peter to pray to the Lord for him. He does not appear to have been so sorry for his sin as he was frightened at the possible penalty. According to tradition Simon did not repent, hut became an enemy to the Gospel. The apostles did two things?they testified of what they themselves knew of the Lord (cf. Luke 24:48: Acts 1:8) and "preached the Word of the Lord." The word translated "preach" means "spoke." They did not preach sermons. but just talked the Word of the I-ord. Notice carefully what it was they talked, not their own idear, but the Word of the Lord. On their way back home they took opportunity of declaring the good tidings in the villages of the Samaritnns through which they passed. Their nrejndlces were breaking down rapidly. Their method of preaching Is worthy of imitation laat t.U'l? *'? J - . j?oi mining | lie vvuru H[ I Qe Lord and declaring tbo Go?pr! (the good news).
