"How a Jail Bird was Deliver
ed," was the topic of a sermon de
livered last evening by Rev. J.
Huston at the First United Pres
byterian Church. He took his text
from the 12th chapter of Acts, and
told the story of h<>w Peter was
imprisoned by Herod and was to be
put to death on the following day,
when an angel came and released
him.
i ho preacher said the worst kind
of persecution was a religious per
secution, and alluded to the death
of St. Stephen and otiier early
Christian martyrs. Herod perse
cuted the Christian, not because
pleased him, but it pleased the
Jews, and he was always seeking
popularity. The desire to please
the people is a dangerous road to
follow. All should live according
to the Golden Rule and the ten com
mandments and have their woric
approved of God, tor his approval
is far better tbau the applause of
the people and the popularity a
person can gain in this world.
Dr. Huston referred to several
attempts to escape from jail that
had come under his notice, but each
had been frustrated; or, if the
prisoner did escape, he was later
brought back and made to sufl'er
additional penalties. He said there
cape in a human way.
Prayer helped Peter to escape and

the angel he went to the place
where the Christians were gather
ed in prayer, so that he could give
his testimony of the power of tha
Lord and oiler praise unto Him.
The Lord will answer prayer, but
He will not do what people can do
themselves. He expects people to
develope in spirituality and grow
in sanctification, and il they do
that and pray for help and guid
