Prester John as a title was like - the Egyptian Pharaoh and belonged to whole lines of kings who reigned In the East and in Ethiopia in particular. - One writer of long ago sets Abyssinia }., as the kingdom'bf Prester John. Abys sinia used to be called "Middle India.” It is related that before the year 1241 a letter was addressed by Prester John to Manuel Commenus, emperor of Constantinople, saying that in Pres ter John’s country there is a “water less sea,” which none have ever cross ed. It consists of tumbling billows of sand, never at rest, and contains fish of most excellent flavor. Three days’ journey from the coast ,of the sand sea is a mountain whence rolls down a “waterless 'river,” con sisting of small stones, which crumble into sand when they reach the sea.

The review of the quarter’s lessons can be profitably made to center In the service of Peter and John, or per haps better, the activity and power of the risen and ascended Christ mani fest In the service of Peter and John. - Lesson 1. Peter Preaches at Penta cost (Acts 2). Peter proves that Jesns Christ arose from the dead, ascended on high and poured forth the Holy Spirit upon the church; the evidence.. of It was the unusual behavior of the disciples. Lesson 2. Peter and John Heal a Lame Man (Acts 3). This remarkable miracle wrought In the name of Jesus Christ proved that though the Jews had crucified hljn. he was now alive and continued his work through the disciples, -s Lesson 3. Peter and John Witness ing of the Risen Christ Before the San hedrin (Acts 4). , As n result the Sanhedrin took knowledge that they had been with Jesus, that is, his lire ana work were being reproduced In and through them. Being with Christ will; 1. Give an experimental knowledge of him, so that the life will remind one of Jesus. 2. Take away the. fear .of man. Pe ter, who a little while ago quailed before a Jewish maid, Is undaunted, before the august sanhedrin. 8. Open a man's lips. Peter said: "We can not but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” What the heart feels, the mouth must speak.out. . Lesson 4. The Risen Christ Vindicat ing His Church (Acts 1:5-l6). He passed judgment upon Ana nias and Sapphlra for their hypocriti cal pretense of generosity. The living Christ knows the intents of the heart; nothing can be concealed from him. Lesson 5.

Lesson 7. The Risen Christ Reveal ing Uimself to a Gentile (Acfs 10). Peter testifies to Cornelius that Jesus Christ died for sin and is to be the judge of the quick and the dead, and that everyone who believes on him will receive remission of sins. w Leson 8. Peter Is Delivered From Prison Through the Living Christ: Sending His Angel to Open the Doors (Acts 12:1-19)."' 7.7, \ The church prayed for Peter’s deliv erance and the prison was opened. All power is given him in heaven and in earth; . there Is nothing too hard for . the living Christ 7 ^ Lesson 9, Peter Shows the Resur rected Christ as the Head of the Church (I Peter 2:15; 11-25). Because Christ is alive, those who are joined to him by faith grow. Be cause of the contact with him they are " able to maintain seemly behavior jn the various relations of life. Lesson 10. Christ Is the Revealer of God’s Love (I John 4:7-21). The proof that Christ Is alive Is the love of God in: the hearts of those who have been born again. j : Lesson 11. Christ Is Alive .Because He Is Walking in the Midst of the Churches (Rev. 1:4-18), Lesson 12. In heaven, the orucifled, risen and glorified Christ will be the center of worship.
