GOLDE'N TEXT-When he ascended on gh, be led captivity captive, and gave tfs unto nen.-Eph. 4:8. More and more we are convinced iat the great trouble with Christiais that the life of Jesus for them closes ith the gospels. *We seem to fail to mprohend that he is living today as uch and even more than he was nine en hundred years ago. The Book of cts is a continuation of the Gospels r. 1), and is yet a closed book. I. The Proof of the Resurrection, P. 1-3. (1) Its reality. No better oved event is recorded in history an the resurrection (see I Cor. 15:4 ; it stands absolutely unchallenged. lie all suflicient proof was that during orty days" his disciples had talked ith him concerning the kingdom. ote, it was only his disciples who )held, his enemies never saw him af r Calvary. (2) Its burden. Just be re his ascension Jesus (v. 2) gave his sciples definite instructions, com andments (Matt. 28:19, 20, etc.) (a) tarry in Jerusalem, (b) to be clothed ith power. (c) to go forth and to pro aim or herald his gospel. During ose intervening days of waiting for e endowment with power they alone iew the gospel and men were perish g, which gives point to the necessity receiving the spirit before under king the work ot witnessing. II. The Promise of the Father, vv. B. Read carefully Joel 2:28, Isa. :3, and compare with Luke 24:49, id also the words of the Baptizer, uke 3:16. (1) To receive the Holy pirit is an obligation upon all, they ere "charged not to depart from Je isalem" (v. 4) (See also Eph. 5:18). >) The reception is to be preceded r repentance for sifthough the con ssion of sin and the acknowledgment Christ as Savior is only possible trough the spirit (I Cor. 12:3). (c) ith the spirit comes power, author y (v. 7). This power is of God, it is >iritual, it is not "temporal" nor of te church. The kingdom is a spirit al idea (Luke 17:21) and the vice-re ent of that kingdom is the Holy pirit. The program of Jesus is Spirit-filled men as witnesses" and beginning at Jerusalem." This prom ie of Jesus (v. 8) suggested to the isciples the restoration of Israel to A place among the nations and in his aply he intimates that such is a pos lbility (see Isa. 1:25-27, Ezek. 36:23 3, Hosea. 3:4, 5, Joel 3:16-21, Amos :11-15), but in a most emphatic man er he tells them that of that hour od has reserved to himself the nowledge (Matt. 24:36, Mark 3:22). flhen they were to receive the king om he does not tell, but when they iould receive power he tells them ainly, viz: when the spirit should >me upon them, The spirit is not .r mere happiness or gratification, 17.

Mr. Pipwillow looked at his gar den, shooic 'his flat at the neighbor's cat, then, humming a hymn of feline hate, made his way to the nearest drug store. Ten minutes later he was temptibg the offender to his garden once more with a saucer of milk and sometjiing which came from a- bottle bearing a red label. "Halloa!" came his neighbor's voice. blithely, over the fence. "My cat been troubling you again, eh? It's a play ful little way ,o' cats to make a rac ing track o' next-door's cabbage patch."

FARMER WAS NOT IMPRESSE& Visit to Country Editor Resulted in Willie's Turning From the Paths of Literature. Into the room of a country editor came a bluff old farmer with his eighteen-year-old son. "I've come for a little information, sir," he said hopefully. "I shall be delighted to do what I can for you." was the polite reply. "Well, this son of mine wants to go into the literary business, and #0 thought you would be able to tell us if there was any money in it. It's a good line, isn't it?" "Ye-e-es," replied the editor, he - tatingly. "I've been at it myself or a good many years and-" - . The farmer thereupon lo ed around at the shabby office an ion at the shabbier editor.

As he tucked the bell under his arm and prepared to go upstairs, Paff replied, with a knowing grin: "Sure, and I'm going to ring -it at six o'clock ivry morning and wake miesilf up!"
