Lightning Kills Six In Nine Days Time Lightning since May 26 has caused six deaths in South Carolina, which are. more, according to the records of the United States weather bureau, Ch^hmbin office, than resulted in the whole season of last year when five persons were reported killed. The State Board of Health report, a sum mary prepared by Dr. Jas. A. Hayne, executive secretary, gives, however, the total fStalKies from lightning in 1926, a t 11. _ Attempting to strike a comparison of lightning fatalities over cetain stipulated periods is a difficult task, however, as Richard H. Sullivan, meteorologist in charge of the Col umbia weather office, declares that where, lightning is the force the law of average fails to apply- Where in one instance one person is killed, half a hundred might be killed if they had been near the spot, so it seems to itriks in fits and starts. Several may be reported killed over a short period of time, Mr. Sullivan pointed out, where, in another longer period no fatalitM** may be reported, yet lightning has flawed just as often and sharply. Wind squalls, thunderstorms and lightning appear more severe when they come as a “break" a dry spell than they do when occurring as the atm(»*phere is hearing an ample supply of moisture. Recently South Carohn a has experienced abnormally dry weather—rainfall has been con siderably below normal. Summer rains, Mr. Sullivan pointed out, come almost entirely as Ipcal showers and thunderstorms. Thuss the weather has been dry i n this State, breaks have occurred as thunderstorms and it follow* then, according to Mr. Sul livan's reasoning more viclent. Fatal ities occur as a result. May 25, one man was killed by lightning near Allendale. At the same time a mule was killed. May 31, near Kershaw two men were killed. A mule was also killed in this instance. May 31, on Brushy Creek, near Easley, one man was killed and two were injured by a bolt of lightning". The man who was killed was leaning against a barbed wire fence at the time. June 2, near Branchville, when a bolt of lightning struck the chimney, two were killed anti four were injur ed. Popejty has also suffered damage: "• May 29. near Greenwood, a bolt of lightning anniliated 14 hogs with re sulting damage estimated at $200. May 31. near Newberry, a bam with contents, valued at $600 was destroyed. May 31, a tank containing 4,000 gal lons of gasoline, valued at approxi mately $420, was destroyed. May 31, near Willistcn, a barn with contents, including several mules, was destroyed, valued at aboult $1,000. In comparison, seven deaths re sulted from lightning in 1924, accord ing to Mr, Suljivan's records, 18 deaths—11 of which occurred >j> one n*onith, July-—resulted from light ning in 1925, and five in 1926.

PRIMARY TOPIC—Odd Takes Care of Peter. i— JUNIOR TOPIC — God Answers Prayer for Peter. ♦ . — INTERMEDIATE AND SENIORTOP- IC—-How Docs God Deliver Us? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—The Power of .United Prayer. I. Peter's Imprisonment (vv. 1-4). 1. By whom (v. 1). Herod, the grandson of the wicked Herod who slew the Innocent chil dren of Bethlehem. 2. The reason (v. 3). "f 3 It was to gain the favor of the Jews. Herod was not a Jew, but an Edomite, therefore knew that his suc cess wag dependent upon his having the good will of tHe Jews. Herod for the sake of popularity manifested a deep sympathy for degenerate Juda ism. It was but the sympathy of the politician. Since the church had de veloped so as to be a successful rival of Judaism, Indeed was already dis placing It, he saw an opportunity to curry favor with the Jews by putting, forth his hands against it 8. The method (v. 4). He was arrested, put into prlsbii- and guarded by four quaternions ofl soldiers. A quaternion Is a guard of four soldiers. Humanly speaking, It was Impossible to escape. They had doubtless heard of Peters escape from Jail before, so they thought they would take no risks this time. However,, they made one fatal mistake—they left out God. II. The Church of God In Prayer (v. 5). The church' was at a crisis. Her situation was most grave. James, one of the brethren of the church, was dead, and Peter, the most prominent •of all, was In prison. In this desperate strait they did the wise thing—they betook themselves to prayer. It was a noteworthy pfayer. 1. It was onto God, not untp men, or to be heard of men. This Is a very common fanlt today. All true prayer Is unto God. 2. It was united prayer. There Is peculiar power In the anlted prayer of God's people. 3. It was an Intensely earnest prayer. It was more than unceasing prayer. It was the earnest desire of the soul as It stretched Itself out toward God. 4. It was definite prayer. They specifically offered prayer to Cod for Peter. Their prayer was con centrated. definite and specific. III. Peter Delivered by an Angel (vv. 6-11). 1. Peter sleeping (v. 0). This shows that he was not greatly disturbed over the matter. The Lord keeps In perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on Him. (Isa. 20:3). 2. Peter leaves the prison (vv. 7-10). A heavenly light shone In the prison. The angel smote Peter on the side; the chains fell off. Peter put on his clothes and passed by one guard after another through the Iron gate out Into the city. * 3. The effect upon Peter (v. 11). Although the matter was so wonder ful to Peter, even outside his colt- sclousness, when he came to himself he was assured beyond peradventure that God had iplrarntously delivered him from Herod’s wicked hands. IV. Unconscious Unbollsf (vv. 12- 19). 1. Behavior of Peter and the church (vv\ 12-17). • Peter went to the house of Mary and knocked. The knock was an swered by Rhoda who was so over joyed that she forgot to open the gate, and ran In and told them that Peter was at the gate. The disciples were not prepared for such good news, and even accused her of madness. She, undaunted. Insisted. They of fered as an explanation that perhaps might be Peter’s guardian angel In his likeness. They got more than they expected. Peter rehearsed unto them the Lord’s dealing with him, and In structed them to make these things known unto James and the brethren. - 2. The behavior of the soldiers (vv. 18.19). There was great agitation among them p.s io what had become of Peter. This was a serious matter since they were responsible for him. Not being able to account for Peter’s escape, Herod commanded that they be put to death. After this Herod went down to Caesarea. Here he was adored as God. Because he arrogated this honor to himself, the Lord smote him. Herod* died, but the TVord of the Ix>rd grew and multiplied. % UNPBERGH AND COLUMBUS. A WONDERFUL MOTOR. NO JUMPING. LUNGS TOO GOOD. Life and Death It is good when the garden of life and the sepulcher of death are linked with Him who was crucified. He makes the garden tenfold richer and more beautiful. He robs the sepulcher of Its terror and gloom.—Rev. Alex. Smellle, D. D. Cynicism I hate cynicism a great deal worse than I hate the devil; unless, perhaps, the two were the sama thing.—R. L. By the way, fathers and mothers, sad because their sons lack college education, will observe that Lind bergh went to no university, and his ‘‘prep school” was a plow on his father’s farm. He was a soli tary boy, thinking, enjoying danger and new things. Robert Westovef, a garage owner in Montana, who once hired Lindbergh to make parachute jumps, says, “I don’t think he was lonesome on that trip. Slim Lindbergh was a peculiar guy. He did not care for company or anv excitement, except daring stun. Everything he had he earned with him, helmet, goggles and toothbrush,, stuffed in the big pockets of' his overalls.” Lindbergh’s difficulty now will be to find something worth doing that will not kill him. Lindbergh proves that deeds of dar ing ‘‘mad-cap audacity,” seeming reckless at the time, arc of great, permanent valoe. It was called reck less folly when Columbus made his transatlantic “hop" in the opposite direction. Cool heads told him he would fall over the edge of the ocean, and his crew wanted to turn back. Fulton’s experiment with steam, and Franklin’s with the kite, seemed foolish. Congressmen that voted to •pend money on Government experi ments with telegraph messages were beaten for re-election. The voters “had no use” for a Congressman that would vote to waste money. Lindbergh’s feat will find an echo in the next Congress. It will occur to some Congressman that if one man, all alone, could fly from here to Europe, some thousands might fly from Europe or Asia here, and be less welcome than Lindbergh was in Paris. The record shows that Lind-, bergh’s Wright motor used less than hour miles Ion gaso- ’inc, plus twenty gallons of oil. Not ixpen.-ive for a trip to Paris. Am body who doubts that airplanes will earn- passengers across the bcean for less than $30, “all daylight route,” has little confidence in human ingen uity. Statistics show this country's in come in 1926 totalled seventy-eight billion, six hundred ami forty-nine million dollars, from all sources— the ditch digger's wages, the cou pon cutter’s toil. That means $671 for every man, woman and child, or $1,805.37 for every * person engaged in earning money. Professor Nash, teacher of phys ical education in New York Univer sity, justly criticises violent exercise for young girls. To permit competition for girls in hurdle races, high jumping, broad ' jumping, etc., is a crime against the girls now, and against the future gen eration. Girls were not made to JUMP. They were made for motherhood, and should be taught to respect and protect their complicated machinery. In the Fall “medicinal N whiskey” bourbon and rye, made of com and rye, will be manufactured under su pervision of the Treasury Depart ment. No whiskey should be suggested for medicinal purposes. If doctors say alcohol is necessary, they should use brandy made of grapes. Many poisons are in grain whiskey, even carefully made. Real brandy is free of poisonous oils and other poisons, unless you call pure alcohol a poison. Wood, alcohol is deadly, potato al cohol is very poisonous, grain alcohol poisonous, grape alcohol safest. ^'hosc-that Sent threatening letters, concerning th^* Sacco and Yanzetti case, to Governorx Fuller did not .'rigluen the GovernoK He rejects the suggestion of a -commission to review the Sacco and Yanzetti case, saying that the responsibility is his.

Consumptives often have lungs that might be called “too good," the lung area being so great that the heart finds difficulty in pumping an ade quate blood supply.
