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. "
The veteran weather man yester
day harkew back to the dis&sterous
April 30, 1924, when terrific torna
does visited the State. Three million
dollars damage was done; 76 persons
.*><* kRUd and 783 injured; 465 hones
wwe destroyed; 2,512 persona left
homeless and.710 familin affedted.-

Lesson for June 12
PETER DELIVERED FROM PRISON
LESSON TEXT-im-Acta 12:1-17.
OOLDEN TEXT—Many are the afflic
tions "of the righteous: but the Lord
dellvereth him out of them all.—Pa.
■>4:19.

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.

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.

Consumptives will be interested to
learn that physical work, even “hard
work” in reason, is beneficial, not
harmful, except in extreme cases.
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. Exercise in mod
eration strengthens the heart, helps
the patient
