Local hands held their rehearsals, there from the time Charlie Huffine played cornet, Oscar Satterfield, alto; Lafe Robison, snare drums; “Red-Head” Iliff, base drum; John McCorkle, alto; John “Cutter” Ross, valve tenor, and -‘Major" Ed Smith, piccolo. The later prdvided a counterpart of the spirit of '76 painting as lie limped proudly along before the Decoration Day procession to. the tune of some favored martial air. To keep his in­ strument from "over-heating” as a result, of his shrill blast into the upper register, the “Major” would employ a public spirited urchin to >irry -along a pail of water into v;hich the ebony pipe would he doused* between pieces, or just prjor to par­ ticularly strenuous strains. Decoration Day-was a gala affair [n the old days before the grim* reaper had so completely mowed down the lallarifTanks of Civil War veterans. Every school took part with gay flag and bouquets of flowers.- Older Jioys decked their bicycles in "bunting, and the Main Street thronged with ueople, among which were many who always caipe “home" on this ddy to hold reunion with old'. friends, or relatives. , Andrew Jackson astride one of hip finest saddle horses, made, an inspir­ ing figure asf he led the pilgrimage up the hill to the North Cemetery, . The afternoon would bo given over to baseball with the local nine pitched against some well-known ,.semi-pro aggregation, such as "The Lily- Brews", ; the Xenia “Reserves”, or “The Dayton Blues”, In the evening a local talent show would be staged with “The Drummer Boy of Shiloh”, as the popular choice. Julius Stuart, son of J. V. Stuart, superintendent of the school, onCo played the part. Flower contributions were offered to the extent of denuding choice peony-beds, bushes of lilacs, “syrin- gas” and roses. If there were some few who objected to. these contribu­ tions, local .boys saw to it tha t a mysterious blight beset choice blooms before the May 30 sun uncovered its ravages.

Sometimes one won­ ders a bit, but a little thought indi­ cates. that if it does not, it is not because Christianity has failed, but because Christian people h a iq failed to declare the eternal and powerful truth of God, The primary respon-, sibility for any such failure fmiSt rest upon the leaders of the Church. d t is instructive to see the qualities which, made the leaders of the eariy Church effective for the Lord; In our lesson 'we find Peter and John doing three things. * ' I. Declaring God’S Word (Acts 2: 37-41). Peter had just finished Die first sermon preached in the Church, which was delivered a t Pentecost., The declaration of God’s truth in the power of the* Holy Spirit, brought conviction, of sih ." It always'does*, although the' outward indication of its working may not .be a s marked . as i t was on that day. Three thou- ' sand souls were under conviction and asking what to do to'be saved. What an opportunity for- the •preacher and- his fellow ’’Worker; John. How did they meet it? By - faithfully declaring the need* of re­ pentance and faith*- and then of fel­ lowship with other* in the Church, ■ One mark of.a real leader for God will always he' that he preaches and teaches the message of God without adulteration,, without modification, and- with plainness had simplicity. The kind of leadership which is often magnified in the Church'today apd which‘is largely made up. Of personal magnetism, “pep” and fart talk, is not real leadership at all. Test your leaders by their faithful and intelligent declaration of God’s Word. ’ ‘ ’ II. Conveying God’* Power (Acts ' 3:1-8). » “Channels only”—that is the func­ tion of the worker for Christ, the ’ leader in His Church. As Mary Maxwell well put it: Channel* only, bteued Master. But with all Thy wondrous power - Plowing through us. Thou c*nst use us Every d*y and every hour. Silver and gold was- a scarce com­ modity with Peter and John, as it 1 has-been With fnany, yea most, of God’S servants through th e Centu­ ries’.' But they did haiv° blessed privilege of being channels through which the heating, cleansing, re­ deeming power of God could flow- and that was infinitely better. The, lame main had long since given up hope o f . anything better than the few chins he could beg at the temple gate. He was like many in oiir hard and practical'age who see only the values th^t mbney can give, and thus miss the real blessing of God God has for men today, as He had for this beggar, that which is far better than gold—deliverance from sin and liberation,from the limita­ tions of spirit which make them con­ tent with the paltry alms of men. Peter apd John were ready to be used of God because theyjvere men who were not too busy, to pray (v. 1L Knowing the compassion ol - God they sought out the one in need, .and by faith pu t the unlimited power of God to work on his behalf. God healed this man’s body, but what i s 1more important, He healed his spirit (v, 8). We-'need that kind of heating for the weak-kneed, lame^ ankled, spirit-darkened .individuals in our communities and out churches, We will have it only as our leaders a re pien and women 1who a re cleansed—ready to he chan- ; nels for the Conveying o f God's pow* ’ er to a needy World. , ' HI. Doing God’s Will (Acts 4:13, ) 18-21); j The way of life of God’s leaders j is not an easy one, hut it is a simple ' one; They do God’s Will—nothing ; less, nothing more, and nothing else, i What could be more delightful? I Peter apd John had spoken the truth and declared salvation to be ! only in the name Of Jesqs (v, 12) Certain easy talkers within the Church Who tell Us ihkt we must no) be narrow but broad enough to set , salvation In. all religions; had bet f ter read that verse again, ) Because they had preached Christ , and for no other reason, they wer< ' imprisoned, then released on condl J tion that they would not mentiot Him agtffa. What a splendid op porttmity for a smooth, and comfort able compromise! They could preacl but just leave put Uhrist. Did the; do it? NoJ (VV. 10, 8Q)., I Obedience to God was ppramoun -with them, and'it muStbS with ever; Townsley goes the honor of the firrt ■‘•'^genuinely Christian leader in th* white man who adopted it as. his Ghureh. Nothing else will do, vflf home.
