deney. As governor of the state he made good and as vice president of the United States has won the admiration, esteem and confidence of the people. He is safe and careful and believes in the old fashioned democratic principles as laid down by Thomas Jefferson, the great government builder. He has asked that the Indiana delegation goes to the convention uninstructed and we believe that is proper but this should not be taken advantage of by the advocates of any other candidate and for that 'reason 'he petition should be signed and be ready for filing if necessary. Those who attended the meeting of the committee at the city half yesterday will tell you that it was one of the most interesting, earnest and serious caucusses ever held in Decatur. The men got down to real facts, discarded any camouflage and talked straight out with the result that there was a common agreement to do the very best thing for the city, to fully investigate every means of fur nishing power current for our industries. to lay the cards on the table and to report to the people just the why and wherefore of the action finally agreed upon. There are several points which one mus't get well into the details of the various propositions before a clear understanding is obtainable and these are to be given the public. The committee and the council are making an honest effort to work out this big and important problem and you should support them to the last ditch.

(Copyright, IW, We«tern N«—P»r«f LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 22 | PETER’S DELIVERANCE FROM PRISON. LESSON TEXT—Acte GOLDEN TEXT The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him. and dellvereth them Ps *4:7. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—II King* 1:17; Luke 22 ,:» 4«. Acta 1646. 38, Heb. 1:14: James 6 IS-18. PRIMARY TOPIC-How an Angel Helped Peter. JUNIOR TOPlC—Peter Delivered From Prison. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —How Prayer Helps. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Things Wrought by Prayer. I. Peter's Imprisonment (vv. 1-4). 1. By whom (v. 1). Herod, the grandson of the wicked Herod who slew the innocent children at Bethlehem. 2. The reason (v. 3). It was to gain the favor of the Jews. Herod was not a Jew, and therefore knew tbnt his success was dependent upon having the good will of the Jews. He did not ; particularly hate the Church, but loved popularity. Herod, for the sake of popularity, assumed a deep Sympathy for degenerate Judaism. Since the Church had developed into a successful rival of Judaism —indeed was al- , ready displacing it —he saw an oppor-1 tunity to curry favor with the Jews by putting his hand forth against it. 3. The method (v. 4). Teter was arrested, put into prison and guarded by four quaternions of soldiers. A quaternion is a guard of four soldiers on duty at the same time. Four quaternions meant that a special group wax on duty each wateh of the night. It was the custom for two soldiers to be in the prison, one on each side of the ' prisoner, hound to his arms with chains (v. 6). The third one to wstch v outside the door and the fourth to be I near the outside gate. Humanly ( speaking it was impossible to escape. However, they made one fatal mis-1 take; they left out God. 11. The Church of God in Prayer (v. 5). The Church was in a crisis; her situation was most grave. James, one of the pillars of the Church, was dead, 1 and Peter, the most prominent of all. ! was in prison. In this desperate strait they did the wise thing: they betook themselves to prayer. There is nothing too hard for God. Theirs was a 1

noteworthy prayer: 1. It was unto God, not unto men to be heard of men. This is a very common fault today. All true pniyei is unto God. 2. It was united prayer. It was made by the Church. God hears the prayers of individuate, but there is peculiar power in the anited prayer of God's people. 3. It was an intensely earnest prayer. It was more than unceasing prayer; it was the yearning desire of the soul as it stretched itself out toward God. 4. It was definite prayer. They specificallj interceded for I’eter. Their prayer was concentrated, definite and specific. 111. Peter Delivered by an Angel (vv. 6-11). This occurred the night before Herod’s plan to make a public display of him. 1. Peter sleeping (v. 6). The angel found Peter asleep. The Lord keeps in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on him (Isa. 26:3). Again, ho gives his beloved sleep (Psalm 127:2). 2. Peter leaving the prison (vv. 7-10). The heavenly light shone in the prison. The angel smote Peter on the side, the chains fell off, Peter put on his clothes, passed by one guard after another, through the iron gate ont into the city. 3. The effect upon Peter (v. 11). Although the event was so wontierful to Peter, and at first he thought It a vision, when he came to himself he was assured beyond peradventure of a doubt that God had miraculously delivered him from Herod's wicked hands. IV. Unconscious Unbelief (vv. 12-19), 1. The behavior of Peter and the Church (vv. 12-17). Peter went to the house of Mary and knocked. The knock was answered by Rhoda, who was so overjoyed on hearing Peter's voice that she forgot to open the gate and ran in and told them that Peter was at the gate. 2. The behavior of the soldiers (vv. 18, 19). There was great agitation among them over Peter’s disappearance. This was a serious matter, since they were responsible for him. Not being aMe to ar<Wnt for Peter's escape, Herod emmuauded that ihey be put to death. Be Not Too Sure. Be not too presumptuously sttra in any business: for things of this world depend on such a train of unseen chances that if it wore in man's hand* to see the tables, slid he would net be certain to win the game.- Herbert.

Now All You Good Fellows, Come Fill Up Your Pipes iB ii / The Velvet tin V. is twice a* big as shown here • • IF ever men are “Tom” and “Bill” to each other, it’s when good pipes are a-going. If ever good pipes go their. best, ’tis when Velvet’s in the bowL For Velvet is a mighty friendly smoke, Kentucky Burley is the leaf that Nature made for pipes. Wholesome and hearty, honest as the day. And Velvet is that same good Burley leaQ brought to mellow middle age. For eight long seasons Velvet “meditates” in wooden hogsheads, throwing off the rawness of “young” tobacco—truly “ageing in the wood.” Out Velvet comes—cool, calm and generous—the tobacco Nature made good, kept good and made better. Velvet’s sweetness is the sweetness of good tobacco, not “put on ’ like frosting” on a cake. Its mildness comes from natural ageing, not from having the life baked out. Its fragrance is true tobacco fragrance, not a perfume. And Velvet makes an A Number One cigarette. Roll one.
