SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON
Text: Acts 12:5-17
The International Uniform Sun
day School Lesson for March 17.
BY WM. E. GILROY. D. D.
Editor of Advance
Peter was In prison. Prisons have
had a fashion in history’ of con
fining the very bad and the very
good.
Someone has said that mankind
In the progress throws out a van
guard and a rear guard, and
though the vanguard is very dif
ferent from the rear guard, it suf
fers frequently as much from the
misunderstanding, hostility and per
secution of thoy in the main body,
who will not tolerate either the
prophet, who is in advance of so
ciety. or the criminal, who harries
•oclety from the rear.
One would think that each age
would learn from the mistakes of
preceding ages and rectify these
things but the age-old process goes
on
Within our own generation there
have been in American pr.sons and
penitentiaries men whose only
■ fault was the itenslty of their con
w clentious objecton to war and kill
ing. The fact that many of these
have said, as Peter did. ‘We ought
to obey God ®ther than mf|i.” has
made no difference.
Society is still intolerant of its
saints and its prophets especially
whenever they dare In any way to
challenge the existing order, or
policy and acts of a nation in a
particular circumstances
• • •
There are angels who visit saints
and prohets In prison. How else
could they survive and continue
their work in the world?
There is a strength and power
of persistency in men of truth and
right that gives them a strange
power to triumph over all manner
of persecution. The angel may not
always be materialized, chains may
not be cast off as miraculously as
in the case of Peter, but the reality
goes on.
The lesson is given as an example
of the ' Power of United Prayer ’
(topic for young people and adults)
or for “How Prayer Helps’’ (inter
mediate and senior topic). As such
it needs judicious exposition.
It can be given a somewhat ma
terialistic exposition and applica
tion hardly in harmony with facts
of present-day experience. There
may. of course, always be In our
minds the consciousness that pray
er might accomplish a great deal
more than we realize if our faith
and our trust in Gods power were
deeper and more persistent.
Nevetheless. to suggest that ma
terialistic deliverance from impri
sonment and bonds will always
come In answer to prayer would be
to miss the real point and truth of
the lesson.
* * *
E
The important thing is that
Peter was \ jfoundly devoted to
the truth of God. He cared far
more about be.r.g faithful to his
mission than about whether he re
mained in Prison or was released
from prison.
We are never in a position to ex
perience all that God’s power may
achieve until we have that sublime
devotion to duty, that unconcern
about what may happen to our
selves. as long as we have the
strength and the will to do what is
light and to speak the truth as we
ought to speak it.
The great things that prayer
I has achieved have happened to
ward those who had made this
supreme disposal of their lives ac
cording to God's will. There is no
such thing as sincere prayer that
bargains with God or that mea
sure* what happens according to
human demand
But when mat brings his whole
life under submlss.on to the will
of God. he understands that there,
Is reality and power in prayer that:
th worldly-minded can never un
derstand. and that often fy>d ans
wers prayers most particularly In
what seems to be the denial of
outward petitions.
The one significant accomplish
ment of all true praying is in the
words of Jesus. ’ Nevertheless not
my will, bift thine, be done."

A woman s mission as a home

is concerned also w.th childrens'

ing School at the Junior College
Auditorium on March 26. 27. 28 and
29.
“Prom the earliest childhood our
treasured recollections of our par
ents are those when they forgot
their grown-up cares and romped
and played w.th us," says Mrs.
Yales. “This play obligation on the
part of the mother does not end
when the children start to school.
“The modern homemaker, how
ever, realizes that her cookery and
other household duties must be ef
ficiently done so that she may
have free hours for her own. as
well as her childrens' recreation.
"The privilege of being a true
homemaker is woman's greatest
privilege. It is a profession in
itself and should be taken Just as
seriously <»> any mans profession.
The real homemaker keeps pace
with the newest trends in her pro
fession and takes -v much care in
planning her meals to meet the
needs of each member cf her fam
ily as the doctor or lawyer would
take with his clients ”
In short, as Mrs Yates will show
you when the Happy Kitchen Cook
.ng School opens in Brownsville,
the kitchen is a laboratory where
in the homemaker uses scientific
methods in preparing meals which
not only please the tastes of hr*
family, but guarantee their health
as well.
Admission to the Herald Happy
Kitchen Cooking School will be
free—and there will be no obliga
tion of any sort.
Sessions will be^V at 2:30 p. m.
‘Devil Proposes To
Christ’ Is Subject
The Devil Proposes to Christ’’
will be the subject of the sermon
Stuujny nlgnt at the Central
Christian church. “In this day of
compromise and excuse making, it
will be well for us to see how- Christ
dealt with problems of conduct
when he came face to face with
them during the days of his popu
larity in his eary young manhood,“
it was announced, "What did he do
with the proposals to live an unre
strained life? What did he do with
he proposal to live in >uch a way as
3 be popular? How did he keep his
Jfe unspoiled amid the clamoring
temptations of his day? These and
other questions will be answered as
we look in on the scene where Satan
''omes to offer Jesus his friendshio
and assistance. This sermon looks
deep Into life as we now live it."
Services begin promptly at 7:30
with the singing of familiar hymns.
The male quartette will furnish spe
cial musle.
