lowe once mayor of uxbridge and carry ing fire arms without a permit dr rbe wilson pleaded guil ty when he appeared before magistrate frank s ebbs in police court at uxbridge on the first charge he was given the opinion of fine of 20 and costs or one month in the county jail while on the second charge he was assessed 25 and costs with the option of one month and ten days evidence revealed that dr wilson had phoned lowe one time reeve and mayor of the town early in the morning and threatened violence firing sever al shots near the phone to back up his threats he had also call ed mr lowe several uncompli mentary names if was reveal ed according to the evidence of john lowe he had received a telephone call at four am one morning from dr wilson who immediately began using abus ive language he hung up and ftent back to bed he said ac cused had fired a revolver near the phone three or four times and had started the bullets are going to be meant for you lowe the witness said accused also declared he was going to break me and have me run out of town lowe told the court the phone calls continued every- few minutes until about eight oclock in the morning it seems too bad a

making a nuisance of yourself you had learned your lesson instead of getting better you have been getting worse to such an extent that you have worked yourself up to the un enviable record of being the number one nuisance of the locality twentyone out of twentysix municipalities in york county have agreed to serve summons es at the expense of the various municipalities instead of add ing the service to the cost of the court lesson for march 12 peter delivered from prison golden text prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto god for him acts 125 the lesson as a whole the wise of this world may ridicule the christians belief that there is a loving personal god who hears and answers prayer an eminent psycholo gist declared some time ago that we now know that no god of any religion has ever answered any prayer that any of his devotees addressed to him but any believer who has walked in fellowship with the lord knows the reality of what the savants of the schools deny peters experience as given in this lesson may seem like myth or legend to the unsaved who know nothing of spiritual realities but the man of faith understands that with god all things are possible even the incredulity of the praying group in regard to the answer in peters release is so true to form and fact that we might easily mistake the story for an event of today rather than of nearly two thousand years ago the historical setting upon peters return to jerus alem from caesarea he rehears ed the story of gods dealings in regard to cornelius to his brethren in such a way as to gain their hearty endorsement of the work of evangelizing the gentiles following this a mighty awakening took place in antioch a distinctly gentile city where many of the heathen turned to the lord barnabas and saul fostered this work later persecution broke out again in jerusalen herod kill ed the apostle james and put peter under arrest his miracu lous deliverance is the subject of our lesson this was prob ably in ad 42 verse by verse acts 125 prayer was made without ceasing this is the will of god for his people 1 thess 517 in every hour of need he would have us bring the matter directly to him relying upon his love and pow er verse 6 sleeping between two soldiers peter was under guard day and night and quite helpless to effect his own de liverance verse 7 the angel of the lord came it was a super human visitor who came upon the scene he aroused peter raised him up and commanded him to arise immediately his bonds were loosed verse 8 so he did as one instruction after another was given peter obeyed implicitly but as a man in a dream for he was not really aware of all that was taking place verse 9 though he saw a vision peter was in that state of mind where he thought of these strange events as a subconscious experience occurr ing in an exalted spiritual state but he was soon to know that god had actually undertaken for him in a miraculous manner verse 10 the angel depart ed from him after leading the apostle out of the prison house through a great iron door that opened to them of its own accord the angel suddenly disappeared leaving peter a free but dazed man scarcely able to understand the reality of all that had taken place verse 11 now i know having come to himself he now recognized the marvel of his deliverance by angelic power whereby he has been freed from herods clutches and from the death which his jewish en emies hoped would be inflicted upon him verse 12 many were gath ered together praying he sought out the place where the church had met for intercession on his behalf this was the house of mary the mother of mark the author of the second gospel who may have been in timately related to peter verse 13 peter knocked at the door of the gate as the assembly were engaged in pray er they were startled to hear a knocking at the door rhoda a maidservant hastened to an swer verse 14 she opened not the gate for gladness recog nizing peter the maid was so excited that she neglected to admit him but hastened to tell the rest that he stood without it was the answer to their pray ers but seemed too good to be true verse 15 it is his angel they could not believe the good news but declared the girl was demented when she insisted that she had heard and seen peter they asserted that it must be his angel meaning his spirit taking it for granted he had been slain verse 16 peter continued knocking they were aston ished the importunate and continued rapping of peter brought them to the door and they were amazed to find that rhoda was right after all and god had answered their prayer in a way far beyond their expec tation verse 17 he declared unto them how the lord had brought him out the agent was an angel but it was the lords doing after telling the wonderful story peter bade them carry the good news to james the brother of the lord and to other elder brethren after which he slipped quietly away the heart of the lesson god is better than our faith while it is true that he has said he will do for us according to your faith nevertheless he is not restricted n the exercise of his lovingkindness by our failure to lay hold on his prom ises the church in jerusalem prayed for peters deliverance but they had a very faulty ap prehension both of gods power and his readiness to hear and answer at the best perhaps they hoped grace might be giv en the apostle to endure a long imprisonment with eventual de liverance or to triumph in the hour of death but while they prayed god answered and did exceeding abundantly above their asking or thinking and so it often is today our faith at the best is a poor feeble thing his grace is an allsuffic ient dynamic energy that re strained by the feebleness of our apprehension or the poverty of our
