(Special to Daily Democrat) —Suit seeking dissolution of the House of David colony at Benton Harbor, Mich and appointment of a receiver for the property of the cult was filed in United States district court here Friday by Mrs. Estella A.

I Jews. Paul condemned their prac- ■ tices and was exposing them to the light. There had been an eclipse, the jjew plotted the destruction of Paul: 'he was placed under arrest and tinj ully appealed to Rome. The Roman law gave him the right, Ixike came to his rescue with two well prepared documents known as the Gospel ac. | cording to St. Luke and "The Acts of i the Apostles.” These two documents were sent to Theophilus, an officer ■ in the Roman governmet. It was an act of statesmanship on the part of Luke to reveal to the Jew the real meaning of his own religion and tnen thwart this vicious element at Rome. No wonder that Paul called him ‘ The Beloved Physician." This man Luke was not enly a physician, but a statesman and a true frleud. He stayed by Paul when the latter was overwhelmed by a cyclone of murder inaugrated by Nero, but not until he was enabled to say, “1 have fought a good figlst. 1 have finished my course, 1 have kept the faith.” Class 34 of the M.
