The voice had seemed to come from that big apple tree. Peter •topped short and stared up through the branches of the tree. Look as he would he couldn't see anybody. There wasn't a leaf on that tree and he could L It. X •You Haven't Told Me. Yat Why You Look 80 Unhappy, Pstsr," Said Spooky. see all through It. Peter blinked, felt foolish, very foolish Indeed. He knew that bad there been anyone sitting on one of those branches he couldn't have helped seeing them. “Don’t look so high, Peter. Don’t look so high," said the voice with a chuckle. This time It sounded as if It came right out of the trunk of the, tree. Peter stared at the trunk, then suddenly laughed right ouL Just a few feet above the ground was a good- slzed hole In the tree, and poking his head out of it was a funny little fel low with big eyes and a hooked beak. “Yon certainly did fool me that (time, Spooky," cried Peter. “I ought to have recognized your voice, but I didn’L” Spooky thd Screech Owl, for that is who it was, came out of the hole In i the tree, and without a sound from hia fvings flew over and perched Just above Peter’s head. He was a little fellow, not more than eight Inches high, but there was no mistaking the. family to which he belonged. In fact he looked very much like a small copy of Hooty the Great Horned Owl, so i much so that Peter felt a little cold shiver run over him, although he had nothing In the world to fear from .‘Spooky. His head seeiried to be al most as big around as his body, and \ toYQI | Kn6w— he seemed to have no neck at all. He was dressed In bright reddish brown with little streaks and bars of black. Underneath he was whitish with little streaks of black an<) brown. On each side 6i his head was. a tuft of feath era. They look like ears, and some people think they are ears, which Is n mistake. Hla eyes were round and yellow with a fierce hungry "look In them. Hla bill was small and almost hidden among the feathers of his face, hot it was hooked Just like the bill of Hooty. Aa Spooky settled himself he turned hls head till be could look squarely behind him, then brought It back again so quickly that to Peter It looked as If It had gone clear around. You see, Spooky’s eyes are fixed in their sock ets, and he cannot move them from side to aide. He has to turn hla whole head In order to see to one side or the other. “You haven’t told me yet why you look so unhappy, Peter," said Spooky. C. T. W. Burg MS.—WNU Bsrvlos.

In the teaching of this lesson it will be necessary to Include all the material In Acte 3:1 to 4 :31. • I. Peter Healing the Lame Man (Acte 3:1-10): 1. The place (vv. 1, 2). It was at the gate called Beautiful, which leads from the outer to the Inner court of the temple. 2. The man (v. 2). This beggar was Infirm from his birth. When .he saw Peter and John, he asked alms. 3. The method (vv. 3-8). x „ c a. Gaining the man’s attention (v. 4). Peter and John commanded him to look on them, but pot because they had any power within themselves. b. Peter commanded him in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to rise and walk (v. 6). He had been unable to do this all hls life, but with the com mand went the ability to do. c. Peter took him by the right hand (v. 7). This act 'was meant to give Impetus to hls faith, not strength to hls ankles. 4. The man’s response (v. 8). Strength came Into hls feet and ankle bones at once. He stood, he walked, be leaped, and praised God. 5. The effect (vv. 9-11). The people were filled with amazement. a. This helpless beggar had to be carried to the temple gate. Men and women out of Christ afre so helplesi that they need to be brought where the Ufe of God can be applied to them. b. Peter, in taking the man by the hand, shows the manner of helping the losL While ministers and Sunday school teachers of themselves have nothing to give to the losL they have the dispensing of the gospel of ChrisL il. Peter Witnessing Before the MuL titude (3:12-26). v He told them It was faith in Jesus ChrisL whom God had glorified and whom they had deliberately betrayed and crucified, that had healed this mao. Despite their awful gnllL be appealed to them to repent (v. 19). God would pardon them If they would repenL and refreshing seasons would come to them when God should send back Jesua Christ to the earth to consummate the work of redemption. III. Peter in Prison for Chriat’a Sake (4 :l-4). 1. The leaders In this perseention (vv. 1, 2). Both priests and Sadducees Joined tn this wickedness. The priests were Intolerant because these new teachers were encroaching upon their functions. The Sadducees Joined the priests because they did not believe in the resurrection, which was a vital part of the apoatollc teaching. 2. The result (vv, 8, 4). Peter and John were arrested and imprisoned. Though the witnesses were held in bondage by chains, Christ was not ^bonnd. The number of believers had greatly Increased, so that there were now about five thousand. IV. Peter Witnessing Before the Sanhedrin (4:5-22). v L The Inquiry (vv. 8-7). They in quired as to by what power and name they had brought this miracle. 2. Peter’s answer (vv. 8-12). With stinging sarcasm he showed them that they were not on trial as evildoers, but for doing good to the helpless and needy man. Since they could not (feny the miracle, he boldly declared that It had been done^te the name of ChrisL’ and that the only way for them to Es cape God’s Judgment was to believe on hls name. 3. The Impression upon the San hedrin (vv. 13-22). a. They marveled (vv. 1-13). They were made conscious that they were on triaf Instead of sitting as Judges upon Peter and John. b. They took knowledge that Peter and John had been with Jesus (v. 13). c. They forbade them to speak in Christ’s name (v. 18). — ' * d. Peter and John expressed their determination to otyey God rather than man (w. 19, 20). e. Their release (v. 21). Seeing that the people were on the side of the apofctles they had no way to pun ish them. V. The Church at Pi'ayer (vv. 23-31). They praised God for deliverance and prayed for boldnesaTo speak the Word of God. i- 2071 <&R The girt chum says the Mg question of summer It net going to. bo whether the bathing suite will be lower but whether the shorts are. going to be shorter.
