"Peter de livered From Prison."— Acts 12: 1-tt (By William T. Ellis.) "Action! Action! More Action!" is the demand upon story-tellers, play wrights and public speakers. The present lesson fulfills the prescription; it is a story of "action," and more A Never Failing Way to Banish Ugly Hairs (Aids to Reauty) No woman is immune to superfluous growths, and because these are likely to appear at any time, it is advisable to always have some delatone powder hsndy to use when the occasion arises.

Wonderful FOUR washing the hands CENTS At All Good Grocers FRIDAY EVENING, BARRISBURG TELEGRAPH APRIL 28. 1916 crowded with sensations than a nickel novel. Its scenes range from a king's palace to a prison dungeon; and from a gory field of execution, where a saint's head had rolled on the ground, to a sheltered prayer meeting in the home of the mother of a Bince cele brated author. A king, an angel, two apostles, a group of devoted women and some slain soldiers all figure in the narrative. Of unusual pertinency is this story of an early martyrdom. James, one of the favored three companions of Jesus had been beheaded. Peter broke jail by a miracle. Other unnamed Christians had suffered. We should do 111, however, were we to confine our thoughts to these incidents, forgetting that within the past ten months there have been a million martyrs for the Name sake in blood-soaked Armenia. The fate of those first Christians was simple and merciful as compared with what has befallen wearers of the same name within the memory of every Sunday school child. This is the day to recall the persecu tions of the Christians in Turkey. Some have been imprisoned, but most have been "deported," which means sent away from home and livelihood into desert wastes of starvation. They who were killed by sword or bullet were counted the most fortunate; for as 1 heard one Armenian say, "Massa cres are merciful as compared with this." Starvation, cold, weariness he i yond -words, shelterless, soaked in | rains or bitten by frost, the prey of wild animals and worse men, tortured so unspeakably that even the plain language of that Oriental book, called "The Rihle," presents no analogy for their fate—the Christians of Armenia have touched the high-water mark of the Church's martyrdoms. All that the eleventh chapter of Hebrews says about the heroes of the faith, has been more than duplicated in the. present case of the Armenians. More than a million have died; a million more may be saved if the Christian Church awak ents to help. So wo may not become so engrossed in these martyrdoms of two thousand years ago, as to ignore the greater ones of yesterday. Equally marvellous have been the deliverances. Just as James died and Peter lived, so a mil lion Christians have perished, and an other million have come through alive. Some have had deliverances that seem miraculous. After the Moslem butch i ers have left some communities of j Christians, there have crawled out lit - ierally from beneath the heaps of the ! slain those who have escaped untouch ed. We have yet to hear the full story of the deliverances of the Chris tians under the Moslem attacks of the past year. When Dr. Clarence Ussher. ' for instance, whose wife had died of i typhus, and he himself had been smit ten with the same disease, which emaciated him to a mere skeleton, was being carried out of the city of Van, the bulllets of the Turks and Kurds, I penetrated the canopy over the litter I that carried him, but he himself was I untouched. it is of first importance that we re i call not only the dealings of God with i His children in the long ago, but that God deals in the same way with His children in this year of our Lord, 1916. When the Church Cared King Herod, a miserable politician, | wanted Jewish support, and so he ar rested representative Christians. Pub lic order did not require this nor his j own instructions or convictions. He was but an ancient prototype of the (•lass of officeholders who will sacri fice duty 011 the altar of personal pop | ularlty or political expediency. 1 James the dearly beloved of Jesus, had fallen under the sword. Peter lay chained between two Roman sol i diers. A beautiful picture of the simplic- J ity and the solidarity of the early Church is contained in this story. The whole brotherhood felt (he blow at their members. Peter in prison ( was the object of continual supplica- ; tion. As the Record runs, "Prayer! was made without ceasing of the • 'hurch unto God for him." That is; the proof of the reality of religion: ithe finest fruit of Christian fellowship.) i As says the familiar hymn: "We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear, i And ever for each other tiows The sympathizing tear." Irresistibly the question arises to-1 day-—and it runs far deeper than may' at first sight appear—how many! j churches are praying for Armenia at the present time? Are special prayer meetings, being held anywhere in; I America for these members of the; Church of Christ? in the daily pray- i ers of churches and families is Arme- j nia borne to the Throne of Grace?! How deeply are American Christians anguished over the sufferings of the victims of Moslem hate, and over the ;plight of their fellow Christians in i : Europe. Is the Body of Christ so 1 ; quii k and sensitive that it feels the hurt in any member? If the Church I has forgotten how to pray for every member of the Church, then we have come upon serious days indeed. Probably it was in the Tower or Antonio, the ruins of which are still 'to be seen by the visitor to Jerusalem, that Peter was incarcerated. Here I tradition says that Christ was tried, iWe know not what memories and j musings tilled the brain of Peter as he lay handcuffed to his guards, but this; Iwe are told, and the truth is a pre-! cious one. that Peter slept peacefully in his prison cell. The Church in the! I house of Mary might be awake in an guished supplication for his deliver-j ance, but Peter slept in peace, sure I that the Power which had stilled the waves of Galilee was equal to any new need of his life. While the prisoner slept the angel I same. Startled, he must have rubbed 'his eyes, assuming that the summons to death had arrived. Not always do | God's angels come in this fashion to deliver His people from their manifold | prisons. A few years ago, some Ko ! rean Christians were in prison for their faith. A missionary on furlough i in America told at a dinner table how 1 those simple-minded Christians were sure that God would send His angel to open their prison doors, and He did; for partly as a result of that very j conversation there began an elaborate and far-reaching propaganda on the ! part of Christian Americans to free j the Korean Christians by the power of 1 public sentiment, and this was done, j We cannot always recognize the mes sengers of heaven In the providences I of God. When Peter's chains fell and he Btoort hftfnrq the radiant angel, he could not believe his eyes. He i nought 1 he had been dreaming, and when the prison gates opened he walked as in a 1 trance to the city, whose gates opened ! before him. The marvelous deliver ance seemed so amazing as to be in credible. That is the unbroken his- I tory of the Christian Church. God has delivered His people from their | enemies in ways that always pass be- I lief. It seems as if the Deliverer of ; Israel delighted in versatility and in | His surprises of grace. The Disrupted Prayer Meeting Once in the city Peter was left by | the angel. The task of the heavenly | visitant was over. Peter could do the rest himself. God's help ends where | man's ability begins. There is no war ] rant for praying the Lord to do what we should do for ourselves. Peter could not get himself out of prison, but once, put safely In the city, he could manage his own movements. So after pondering the situation he turned toward the home of Mary, the mother j of Mark, where he knew the Christians ; would be assembled. The hour was late. Danger was near. Herod's spies were in every ; street. Nevertheless, the little com ' yany of Christians were meeting in continual prayer for their leader wholi was in prison. That was not the sort! of prayer meeting that grows restless! if it lasts even five, minutes past fl | o'clock. It is a beautiful glimpse ofj a church in a house that this narra-j tive gives us. As we see in this "cot tage prayer" meeting, when it comes : to praying, the women may be ' counted on. How constantly Christian i women have been driven to prayer. That was a tearful, solemn meeting j held in Mary's house. Suddenly all were shocked by a vig- ! orous knock at the door. "Some bad j news," we can hear some pessimist ! whispering. But young Rhoda, or Rose, as her name means, who could j be easily spared, slipped to the door to see what the interruption meaut. There she heard Peter's voice, and in j her excitement ran backto tell the news without opening the door to let him; in. "Just like a woman," says a cynic. < Rhoda's tidings were received with open unbelief. "You are crazy!" "It. is a ghost!" The Christians could not I believe lhat their own prayers had, been answered. "Too Good to Be True." All the while Peter stood knocking: at the door. The vigor and the eager ness of his blows showed that, they ; were not spirit rappings. At last j somebody collected his or her wits enough to let the apostle in. Then followed such a prayer meet- | ing as the Church has seldom seen. It was given over to Peter's "experi- I ence," interrupted by many exclama- 1 tions of amazement and thanksgiving. I am sure that some of our conven-j tionalized church to-day would have! been shocked at the excitement of that meeting in Mary's house.

Val. 752 lone of Ihp most heretical doctrines ever cherished by Christians, namely, | that a thing could be "Too good to be true." As had been Peter's attitude toward the visit of the angel, so was the state of mind of these Christians. They did not have faith enough in | their own prayers, or in the pra.ver-an [swering God. to believe that what they j wanted most could really come to pass. As if God ever designed less for His children than they desire for themselves. God is always better than man's expectations. A young minis ter once complained to Spurgeon that he did not have many converts as a result of his preaching. "Well, you surely don't expect con verts every week," replied the great preacher. | "Oh, no, not at all," the inquirer hastened to reassure him. "Then according to your faith he it unto you," was the sound answer of I Spurgeon. , There are mothers who will read these lines who have a haunting fear that they love their babies too much. ! Others see the shadow of impending sorrow because their happiness is too ; good to last. Out upon all these vile heresies! God is love. His surprises !are better than our belief. He is ; planning ever more beautiful things i lor us that the imagination can de vise, until we came to the supreme I experience where we shall realize, '"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath entered into the heart ;of man the things which God hath I prepared for them that love Him." As for the Peter story, the apostle i himself went into retirement for a I time. He could not ask for a repeti 7 tion of the miracle to justify his own lack of prudence. The soldiers who let him escape were executed in the interest of discipline. The wherte story set Jerusalem by the ears, and the Church was given one more illustra tion of the Master's message, "Have faith in God." of the gums. Re sure to ask the drug gist for the refined avatol.—Advertise ment. Easy to Keep All Teeth Pearly White It will be found quite easy to keep the teeth white, shining and free from discoloration by brushing them dally with refined avatol. This is much more satisfactory than the usual tooth pow ders and creams. Not only because avatol is free from elements which might injure the enamel or cause the gums to shrink, hut because it will really clean the teeth, removing even the most obstinate stains and deposits. The reason so many teeth are never thoroughly clean, no matter how much ihev are brushed and scrubbed, is the presence of transparent films, or "placriues." so called, which adhere to the tooth surface and which become discolored by dirt, decay-ed food, nico tine or other things. These films ar» reallv thin layers of fat—which ac counts for that slippery feeling when touched with the tongue—and ordinary dentifrices do not penetrate them. They are completely anil quickly dissolved by the avatol. however, and the troublo will not reappear if this remarkable substance Is nspd regularly Just as a tooth paste is used.
