No. 28 "Do not hang all your mottoes on the wall. Hang some of them in your heart and in your life." How Would You Like Dessert For "Your First Course? Many families in England have their dessert first. In fact, "Those people who eat Yorkshire pudding with meat and potatoes are all wrong. We eat #t always at the beginning of our meal," said the Yorkshire lady from England with nature's real complexion of peaches and cream. Then by a strange coincidence ad- vice comes from Baltimore with the same instructions. "How would you like your apple pie smothered-in ice g¢ream first and then finish with beef- steak smothered in onions?" In China, too, the people start a meal with dessert. Then after the eweets have taken the edge off the ap- petite as much meat and vegetables may be eaten as desired. The Rev. W. A. Crawford of Frost Emmorton, Md., Rector of St. Mary's church, says: "I am persuaded that this Chinese ¢ustom was adopted centuries ago as @ food conservation measure, for fami- lies are common and people run into millions in small areas. These Chinese customs are more rational and less Animal than ours, and it is also more ealthful, for when one ends a meal with sweets and acid reaction occurs fn the mouth which is bad for the teeth and system generally."

Then he got quite excited, and get- ting down on the floor close to puss, he coaxed, "Fluffy, where are they? Oh, do tell us, please, Fluffy." But Fluffy just sat there and purred and put her paws under her body more comfortably and wouldn't tell a thing. They hunted and hunted but couldn't] find them. If they went down stairs and listened sometimes they heard a little scratching noise. Oh, a very lit- tle noise, but that was all. . "Well Billy, I believe Fluffy has her kittens away underneath the floor. However did she get there? She must have gone away back in the attic where there is no floor and then walk- ed along underneath between the floor and the downstairs ceiling util she got to the chimney. She chose a nice warm spot, didn't she? But how are we going to get them out is the ques- tion," said Mamma Lady, thoughtfully and quite puzzled. "If Daddy were here he'd soon get them out by tak- ing up the floor, but he won't be back for three weeks. If we should leave them there all that time they would be so shy we couldn't get near them. We want them tame and cute, don't we?" . "I should say we do," he sighed. "What can we do, Mamma? We must think up a way." Billy was feeling pretty disappointed. "Why did she go and put them away in there?" "Well, you see, Rover is pretty big looking to Fluffy, and sometimes a lit- tle rough. I guess she remembered how he.used to run after her when Fluffy was a funny puss that day up | {n the attic, wasn't she? She just sat on the floor and wouldn't do anything but sit and pretend she was sleeping. "Car't you guess, Billy boy, what that little scratching noise was?" "No, I can't guess. Do you know?" gaid Billy, giving up guessing. "Yes, I know," said Mamma Lady. "Fluffy had her kittens and has hid- den them away. I fixed up a nice box for her to have them in, but, as I told you, she was afraid Rover would come nd poke his nose in the box some Ps when he was snooping around end she just wouldnt have that, so thought she'd hide them where Rover fhousht come." This was wonderful news to Billy know Fluffy had kittens, and he ughed and laughed. "Oh, Mamma, * A World Language Cairo Sphinx: One of the anomal- os of Egypt is the faot that Egyp- tains take more time and trouble to learn English than any other fore- fgn language, and yet fail to insist on its full use as a secondary langu- @age.

They walked slowly back to the at- tic door leading downstairs and when they looked for Fluffy she wasn't there. Mamma Lady laughed. You see, dear, Fluffy went to her kittens when we weren't looking, She seems to want to tease us, doesn't she? Now that she is with them, perhaps if we go back we can hear them when she starts washing them all over like Topsy used to do with hers out in the barn. They are always so glad to see her they begin to meow, which means, 'Hello, Mamma, I'm glad you are back"." So back they hurried for the spot where they though the kittens might be, and put their ears to the floor and listened.

Golden Text--Ye shall receive power, after the Holy Ghost Is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both ia Jeru- salem, and In all Judaea and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.--Acts 1: 8. ANALYSIS I. THE PROMISE, Acts 1: 6-12, II, THE PREPARATION, Acts 1: 13, 14, III. THE FULFILMENT, Acts 2: 1-13. INTRODUCTION--This week we begin a study of early Christianity and its spread into the Gentile world. The movement was definitely launched in that glowing experience on the day of Pentecost. On several previous oc- casions the disciples had assurances that their crucified Lord was alive. But these moments of illumination were not long continued, and eventu- ally they ceased altogether. "Jesus was parted from them" at the Ascen- sion. Then, ten days later, came this new experience--' 'The Gift ol the Holy Spirit." I. THE PROMISE, Acts 1: 6-12, The disciples were met together for what turned out to be the Risen Lord's last appearance. Their minds were occupied, not with dreams of the prom- ised Spirit (v. ), but with dreams of a restored national independence. The kingdom of God which they had in mind 'was material, national, and to be won by force. Their Master brushed aside their questioning about this kingdom. The kingdom he was going to establish would not be a Jewish State, but a spiritual kingdom, not na- tional, but universal. They looked for political power; he promised them, in- stead, a Power different from, and greater than, that of which they were dreaming. That power would come when the Holy Spirit came upon them, That is, when the Holy Spirit, which is the Spirit f God, which is the Spirit that was in Jesus of Nazareth, would be in them also--when their ideas and atti- tudes and purposes would be in har- mony with his ideas, attitudes, and Then they would possess not the political power which they ha: in mind, but a moral, personal, spivit- ual power. With their new vision and driving power they would witness for him in. Jerusalem--and far beyond the boundaries of Palestine. But they still held inadequate ideas of God aad his purposes. They stil lacked tne courage necessary or witnessing. "Therefore, until the illumination came, which would reveal kim and his plang more truly, until they could speak with boldness, they were to weit in Jerusalem. II. THE PREPARATION, Acts 1: 13, 14. The disciples where were in Jeru- salem kept together. They knew that the time must be close at hand when they must face the world as witnesses for their Lord and his kingdom. They realized now that their old idea of that kingdom was wrong, but they felt themse'ves inadequate to the proclaiming of the new So, with one accord they gave themselves to prayer and supplication. "With one accord" --thby were agreed among themselves. Prayer-meetings to be effective must be made up of people who are sn good terms with each other. An atmosphere of symapthy, unity of mind and pur- pose is essential. Thus agreed. they continued in prayer. They placed themselves, mind and heart, unreserv,, edly at God's disposal. They had one overwhelming d>sire; to come to fuller knowledge and be the channels through which God's grace and power could flow. In this mood of expect- ancy and consecration they waited for the fulfilment of the promise IIT. THE FULFILMENT, Acts 2: 1-13, God does not fail lives so consecrat- ed and expectant. While the believers were met for prayer, they experienced a vision--a sound like a mighty rush- ing wind, tongues, not of fire, but like fire, lighting upcn each one present. To the waiting believers there were impressive and significant symbols. They were an assurance that the be- liefs to which they had been growing concerning their Lord and his king- dora were true. God wag indeed speak- "ing to them, commanding them lo go forth with his message, assuring them of his sustaining power. The signal to launch the evangelistic movement had been given. The believers' joy expressed itself first, in that exuberant emotional de- monstration--"speaking with ton- gues." This was the confused excla- mation of hearts overflowing with sud- den joy and thankfulness and praise, and which, as yet, had no "language but a cry." See Acts 10: 44-46; 19: 6; 1 Cor. chap. 14. At first these ecstatic utterances and exclamations were so unrestrained that they at- tracted the altention of passers-by. Soon a crowd gathercd--citizens of Jerusalem and pilgrims from all parts of the Empire who had come to the Holy City for the Feast of Pentecost. "Pentecost means the feast on the fifticth day after the offering of the first sheaf of the first grain crop, bar- ley. At the end of that harvest came the Jewish thanksgiving of Pentecost." Some of them thought they were wit- nessing a drunken orgy. These strange occurrences, however, were but the "externals" of the Pente- costal experience. The essential im- portance of Pentecost lay in the fact that these men and women became vividly conscious of God. Their Master was no longer t'.e absent Jesus of Nazareth. He and God were now, as Sta.ley Jones says, merged in ome. That One was universal, spiritual, ever-present. They knew now they were in harmony with him. They had one" to share him with others. within 11 days of England on June 6th when Flight Lieutenant Charles W. A.

Previ ously he had clipped 20 hours from Kingsford-Smith's eastwerd record, making the flight from England to Australia in nine days, 3 hours and 20 minates. Scott had not been expected home and he missed an elaborate official welcome which had been planned for him at the Brooklands airdrome a day later. However, after leaving Brindisi, Italy, at dawn, he decided to travel the entire 1,360 miles in one day. Consequently he landed to the greetings of the air field attend- ants only, the same men who bade him goodbye on his departure for Australia two months ago.
