Washington Always the Idol of the Populace On tin* day tint John Adams was Inaugurated as P esident, Washington was greeted at (he Capital, then in Philadelphia, with a volume df cheers and enthusiastic acclamation which even exceeded the demonstration which followed the appearance of the newly elected President. Having taken the oath of office, Mr. Adams, In his inaugural address, spoke of his predecessor ns one “Who, by a long course of great action, regulated by prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude, has merited the gratitude of his fellow citizens, commands the highest praises of foreign nations, and secured immortal glory with pos> terlty.” At the close of the ceremony, ns Washington moved forward toward the door to retire, there was a rush from the gallery to the corridor that for a time .'threatened serious Injury to many of the spectators In their eagerness to catch a Inst look of one who had so long been the object of public veneration.

The occasion (vv. 10-24). AS the missionaries went out from day to day to the place of prayer they were ac costed by a young woman possessed Ellenton, Oct. 3.—Miss Claire Jen- ness spent the week-end with her mother in Fairfax. Mr. and Mrs. Richard M. Young blood have returned to Wilmington after visiting relatives here. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Duncan and by a spirit of divination. She was j a u * *u i. owned by a syndicate of men who daughter, Sarah, spent the week rived large gain from her soothsaying. Her utterances as she followed the missionaries became a great - annoy ance to Paul who In the name of Jesus Christ commanded the evil spirit to come out of her. The evil apirlt Immediately obeyed Paul’s command. When the demon was cast out the supernatural power of the maid was gone. Therefore, the source of rev enue was at an end. and-this so exas perated her owners that they brought Paul and Silas before the magistrates on s,false charge. Without any opportunity to defend themselvea. Paul ami Silas were stripped and benten by the angry mob and then remanded to Jail where they were made fast by stocks. 2. Their behavior in jail (v. 25). They prayed and sang hymns to God.. It seems quite natural that they should pray under such circumstances, but to sing hymns Is astonishing to all who have not come Into the possession of the grace of God In Jesus Christ. Even with their backs lacerated and smarting, mitb tbelr feet fast in the stocks, compelling the most painful attitude in the dungeon darkness of the Inner prison with extreme uncer tainty befor% them, their hearts went up to God In gratitude. 3. Their deliverance (v. 26). Tho Lord wrought deliverance by sending s great earthquakes which opened the prison doors and removed the chains from off their hands. The earthquake cannot be explained on • natural grounds. Earthquakes do n6t throw boiled doors open and unclasp'fetters fmm men’s hands. II. The Conversion of tho Jailor (vv. 27 34). The Jailor's sympathy did not go out very far for the prisoners, for as soon as they were made secure he went to sleep. Being suddenly aroused from slumber by the earthquake, he was about to kill himshlf, whereupon Panl assured him that the prisonera were all safe. What\he had heard of their preaching, and now what he experi enced caused him to come as a humble Inquirer after salvation. He was con victed of sin and felt the need of a Savior. Paul clearly pointed out the way to be saved. He said. “Believe on the I/ord Jesus Christ.” The word •‘believe” means “to trust and fully obey.” The following facts prove that the Jailor was saved: 1. Transformation from brntallty to tenderness (v. 33). He who a little while ago could with Impunity lay on the cruel lashes Is now disposed to dress the wounds of the prisoners. 2. ConfesaioB-of Christ In baptism (v. S3). Those who have experienced the saving grace of God are willing to confess their faith In Christ under all circumstances. 3. He set meat before them (v. 84L 4. His whole household was bap tized (v. 33). When,a man's family Is willing to follow him, you may be sure that his conversion is. genuine. III. The Magistrates Humbled (vv. 35-40). 1. Jhe prisoners ordered released (vv. 3o, 36). The earthquake brought fear upon the magistrates and thus moved them to release the prisoners. 2. Paul’s refusal to go (v. 37). The ground of his refusal wa$ that their rights ns Roman citizens had been vio lated. They demanded public vindi cation. The magistrates were gnilty of serious offense. Paul was willing to suffer for Christ’s sake, hut he used the occasion to show then) that per secuting men who preached the gos pel was an offense against the law of God and man. 3. Brought out of prison by the offi cers (vv. 38, 39). 4. Returned to the house of Lydia (v. 40).. Upon their public vindication, Paul and Silas left r .the prison and entered the house of- Lydia. After, ministering comfort to the brethren, they took? their departure. TV. Always Rejoicing (Phil. 4:4-9). The presence of the Lord Jesus CJirlst gives such peace that singing God’s praises is possible even In prison.

It Really Doesnt Pay To Try To Do Without It Tha telephone ia such w familiar part of daily lift that ita con venience and value arc often overlooked until it ia out of servico. This la tha experience of thoee who discontinue their service for one reason or another. They soon find that the small coat of the service has been repaid many times each month in convenience, in time and actually in money saved. Telephone users constantly tell us that the cheapest service they esa buy today, compared with its value, is telephone service. There have doubtless been times in your own experience when your telephone service has proved priceless—when the ability to call instantly a doctor, a policeman or tho fire depart ment, could not be measured in terms of money. But it it not alone the emergencies that give the telephone ita true value. There are the commonplaces of every day convorsa- tiono the twenty-four hour a day convenience in the homo, tho shop, the office, whenever you wish two-way communicatioa with anyone almost anywhere. On reflection you will doubtless agree that it really doesn’t pay to try to do without it. * Southern Bell Telephone ff n d Telegraph C < 11 ompany America’s most economical truck is mow araiiable in 25 different modeis priced as low as *440—complete with body NOTE: The model priced mt $440 U the open cab pick-up. & lV4-ton 157-inch Stake Truck -*810* {Dumi •tondartf) By actual road perform* ance, week after week, .Ok* montti after month—the six-cylinder Chevrolet has proved its right to he called America's most economical truck.
