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.
The story shows the antiquity of |

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.

these lines who have a haunting fear
that they love their babies too much.

sorrow because their happiness is too

As for the Peter story, the apostle
i himself went into retirement for a

lack of prudence. The soldiers who
let him escape were executed in the

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
