thein.
I. The Apoatlaa In Priaon (".
..
The marvelous succeas which ac-
companied the teaching of the apot
ties waa too much for the Sadducees
to endure. Their Jealoua wroth was
aroused lo such an extent that they
laid the cruel hand of persecution up-
on these witnesses for Christ. Cain
was jealous of Abel; Joseph's breth-
ren sold him I" slavery because he
was the favorite of Jacob. Saul was
Jealous of David when the women
ascribed greater glory to him.
II. The Apoatlea* Miraculous Deliv-
erance (w. 18-21).
1. The Lord sen an angel 10 open
the prison and let the prisoner* free
(t. 19).
There are no doors, nor bolt- capa-
ble of shutting out God's angel.
2. They were commanded to go at
once and speak to the people, (v. 20).
The message they were to deliver
waa the "Words of this life." Most
likely this means eternal life through
the death and resurrection of .Tesue
Christ.
3. Their prompt obedience (v. 21).
By daybreak the.r were teaching lu
the temple.
III. The A pottles Tried (vv. 21-8*).
1. The meeting of the council (v.21).
In the early morning the Jewish
council was convened bv rh* high-
priest.
2. Their perplexity (vv. ?2-2
The officer was sent to bi'ng the
prisoners, but lo. when I bey < .line to
tbe Jail It was empty. This news
greatly perplexed the council.
8. The apostles :iaain
38, 26).
When one came with the news that
the apostle: v:er« teaching In t'ie tem
pie. i>fttcers were dispatched to bring
tbem before the council. 1 >ey re-
frained from the use of violence he
cause they feared tbe people.
4. The apostles questioned (vv. 27,
**>•
The council demanded of them the
reason for not heeding the charge
which they had previously gl\-;n that
they should not teach any mor.> in the
name of Jesus. This pers-'sUnt testi-
mony the officers Interpreted as an
effort to bring the guilt of .!•- a*' blood
upon themselves.
5. The apostle's answer.
Peter boldly replied thtit 1! •*>' were
under obligutlou to obey <;«•■! rather
;han men. He further told ii ■m that
they were tfuilty of the 111 ;-der of
Jesus Christ and that Oo<! In- i raised
Jesus from the dead and \.- ed Him
to be a Prince and a Sr. mm to give
repentance and remission o: sine to
Israel, and also that He had t.-ade the
apostles, with the Holy S; it, wit-
nesses of these things.
IV. The Result (vv. S3-42)
1. They determined to >.'.11

2. Gamaliel's counsel (vv. 4-39).
He advised neutrally. ssurlng

THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD
Flood records extending back more
than a century reveal no more disas-
trous deluge than that which recently
swept, through the Mississippi Valley.
Once more the control of the Missis-
sippi presents itself as one of our
most urgent national problems. That
the issue is indeed one of national im-
portance, one that must be considered
again by Congress, follows from the
very magnitude of the area involved.
The drainage of thirty-one States,
about 40 per cent of the country's to-
tal area, flows into the Mississippi
and thence into the sea. The waters
that inundate its valley come from
States as widely separated as New
York, Minnesota and Montana. Indi-
vidual States cannot cope with the
problem, for of the water that period-
ically devastates the Mississippi Val-
ley less than 1 per cent originates in
the States that suffer the greatest
damage.

•Tune Monthly Magazine Section of
the Aspermont Star which will be is-
sued June 2.

Mr. K. B. Boyd and E. 1!. Jr., of
I Throckmorton visited with their
in advising the holders of bonds that
the Treasury will probably offer new
securities in exchange. For the first
time the radio will be used by the
Government as a means of reaching
millions of bond holders. An announce
ment will shortly be broadcast from
the larger radio stations of the coun-
try.
The importance of acquainting bond
holders with the fact that their bonds
have been called for payment is em-
phasized by the Treasury's records of
previous calls for redemption or ex-
change. These records show that
there are still outstanding at the pres
ent time, in the hands of the public
about $30,000,000 in government s.-
curities upon which interest has ceas-
ed. Included in this amount are $3,-
600,000 in Victory notes which ceas-
ed to bear interest in 1922 and 1923
There are also outstanding $11,500,-
000 in temporary bonds of the sever-
al Liberty Loans, to which were at-
tached only a limited number of in
terest coupons. The last coupons ma-
tured some seven years ago. The
holders of these, temporary bonds have
neglected to exchange them for per
manent bonds having the full number
of interest coupons attached, and un
til such exchange is made they have
no means of collecting the interet. In
the face of these facts, the Treasury
is especially anxious that the present
announcement reach as many Second
Liberty Loan bondholders as it is
possible to reach through the. press
the radio, and the banks of the coun
try.
The Second Liberty Loan, which
was issued in November, 1917, wa
the second large loan floated by the
Government during the World War
ami while this loan does not mature
until 1942, the condition of the nion
ey market and of the Government
finances makes it possible and ad vis
able to call the bonds for redemption
in November.
