After the stoning of Stephen the enemies of. the Lordwqre ipore active thin ever 4n their efforts to stamp out the new faith. With Sail as their leader they rushed back to the city, dragged from their" homes and 1 m *1 prisoned those who confessed Christ. In thls the devil overreached himaelf, for the believers took night and. went everywhere preaching the word. The time had come for the witness-bearing te extend beyond Jerusalem end Ju­ dea, Preaching was not confined to the twelve, The Lord thus makes the devil’s wickedness to farther his own purpose. Frequently, In the hour of trial. Christians See more: clearly their duty and bestir themselves to perform It. It Christians wilt pot move' on/ the Lord will shove them on. II. Philip Preaching $h*. Gospsl In' Samaria, (vr. 5-1S), Hitherto* the gospel had reached - only Jews; now its scope broadens and a Jew Is preaching, to Samaritans, and Samaritans are rejoicing in the gospel of Christ proclaimed by a Jew, HIS preaching wag fruitful for niultl- ’tides believed -hi*message. - Much joy In this Samaritan city followed the re­ ception of the menage. Both Samar­ itans and Jews were looking for Christ, so they were glad to know that thg Christ had come. Christ.Is the ohife name and person who will break down race prejudice. In him there Is natty and real brotherhood, for he Is the universal man. The only hope of the world Is’ Christ... So great was Philip’s success that Simon Hagnus professed faithandwas baptised.

These Samari­ tan* were really .converted, regener­ ated, but had net yfet been filled with toe Spirife gift. Believer* should seek the Spirit’s gift at once* for tote will exclude the Interests of toe world. The mission of Peter end John shows the unity of toe church—toe mother church gave sanction te toe new work In Samaria.

Wheat Simon saw that toe power of Peter exceeded that which he' pos­ sessed and that it was received through toe laying on of hands; hb of­ fered money for the gift This act re­ veals toe hypocrisy of tbl* man. .He professed faith and was baptized, fol­ lowing after them for a selfish end. To‘desire and seek toe gift of the Spir­ it for selfish aggrandizement is to be guilty of- Simon’s sin, All traffic In sacred things has been called “Si­ mony,” from the name of this sorcer­ er, ' Peter told Simon that he had neither part nor lot In this matter, that he should repent of his wicked­ ness and pray to God for forgiveness. tHe requested Peter to pniy for him. Simon practiced toe art of sorcery for gain and influence, Now that he fonnd his profits diminishing and hls Influence waning, he endeavored to ac­ quire new power. AU persons whoj use their religion to further their am-/ bltiona to get gain are guilty of this sin.- Sometimes men join' toe church for business, social, and political rea­ sons ; .'sometimes official positions are coveted for the prestige and power they give. Let all who are using the name of the church for business pur­ poses be warned by Peter’s rebuke! Let Simon’s doom be a solemn want­ ing to all I * The Goal. The goal on which our eyes must be set Is s church that will, In its own corporate life, conspicuously ex­ press' the Christian Ideal of fellow­ ship and brotherhood, and attoe same, time strive persistently to mold na­ tional, Industrial and social' life In accordance with toe principles which are the. fountain light of all Its days. • i ■’ ....._ Delight In God's Work, AH great art Is toe expression of, man’s delight In God’s Work, not In his own.— -Buskin.- CHtJfeCH ffiSRVtClB Covenants?

J Court House Xenia, Ohio To the Consumers o f The Ohio Fuel Supply Company XENIA DIVISION a ‘ ' i • CEDARVILLE, O. / Owing to the rapid decline in the natural gas supply every effort mftst be made to conserve-it that its use may , be prolonged. Natural gas for industrial purposes is nearing the end. How long you will continue to have for domestic use Will depend largely upon your economy in its use. Industrial consumers and a few large residential furnace consumers have been 'the chief, and for the most part the only profitable consumers o f the natural gas company^ The time is here when this industrial consumption must be lessened and soon be; discon­ tinued in favor o f the domestic consumer. The average new well drilled ofr gas today, if a producer at all, produces one-third of the aevrage production o f a well four years ago, because of the fact that the good gas territory has heretofore been developed; and yet the cost o f drilling a well now is double that of four years ago. These conditions exist because of the resticted areas o f gas deposits, the exhaustion of the better andmore reliable territory and the economic conditions brought about principally by the War and which are certain to remain with us for some tirfie. It is imperative that we greatly increase our development tf we are to produce a necessary supply of natural gas n ithe immediate future years to come for even dommestic use. These conditions necessitate an increase in rate to consumers of this company and we have uniformly and equitably increased the rate which 'for the time - being on the Xenia Division will be Forty centsj (40c) net per thousand feet, with a minimum monthly charge o f Eighty cents (80c) to each consumer. How long the company can maintain a supply at that rata, or any rate, remains to be seen. In the opinion of gas experts at least three-fourths of the natural supply o f natural gas is exhausted and it is plain that rigid economy must be practiced in its ust if you are to continue to Rave the . In ury of natural gaa for any considerable length of time, If you will practice economy in its use, your gas bill* under the increased rate will not be higher than under the former rate.' You will thus pospone the day o f artifi­ cial gas, costing three'times as much and of one-half the heating value as the natural gas which you now con­ sume. If you appreciate natural gas and desire to con tinue its use, this message raises a*question of vital con­ cern to you, * ' . , e> , ■ ■ ■ As a public utility the records of this company have been and are open to public inspection. If you'desire any additional information, you are invited to call upon our local agent or write us direct. Sincerely yours, The Ohio Fuel Supply Company By J. M.
