Hoyt — ~ , Too often in the everyday affairs of lite, we are inclined to assume ■a virtue which is not ours, and : to take credit for something another has accomplished. We may not claim that the deed is ours. That inay not be neces- 1 sary. We may simply hold our ] ■peace, fail to deny the credit attributed to us, and reap honors not; our oiwn. When Peter and John came »o, the Beautiful Gate of the Temple in Jerusalem following the events of the memorable Pentecost when , the gift of tongues was imparted J to the apostles, they found a crip- ’ pie begging within its shadow. What a picture was this—Jeru-1 . salem's temple, one of the finestl I buildings in the world of that day. And here, in contrast with rich- | ness and poverty, satiated Phari- | sees and wretchedness, lay the poor i bteggar, crippled from birth, deI pending upon the gifts of the wor- ; shippers for a scanty livelihood. Little wonder, then, that he arose and praised Peter when that sturdy follower of Christ had healed him through the miracle of ■ prayer. Here was a temptation for Peter to assume credit for the miracle. 'it would have strengthened his I power as an advocate of Christianity. It would have given him standI ing in the eyes of the religious fanatics he was seeking to convert. I Easily, he could have excused himself in that by doing this he was i working for the welfare of the cause of Christ.

Izaak Walton, the Beloved Angler. served as vestryman at St. Dunstan’s and iiis wife and son are buried there. The mother and j sisters of John Felton were wor-! shipping there when they received the news that Felton had killed the Duke of Buckingham at Portsmouth. Adjoining the structure was the shop of John Smethwick. publisher and bookseller. He published Drayton’s poems, the 1609 edition of ‘Romeo and Juliet,” the 1611 edition of "Hamlet,” and was associated in the printing of the first , Shakespeare folio in 1623. Nearby, , Richard Marriott sold the first j copy of “The Coinpleat Angler" in | 1653. St. Dunstan’s was remodelled in .1831. and Fleet street was broadened. But the historic atmosphere of other days still clings to it and makes it a spot all London visitors view.

Soon after Peter's sermon at Pentecost, Peter and John went up to the Temple to pray. Before one \ of the gates lay a man, lame from birth, who each fay was carried there by his friends that he might beg alms Peter said: “in the name of Jesus Chris*-, rise and walk.” The cripple was healed on the spot and moved unaided.

Why did the priests and captain of the temple arrest Peter| and John? 8. How many were convertedi by this miracle? 9. What was the result of the arrest-? 10. What did Peter tell the Sanhedrin? ANSWERS 1. The incidents of today’s les-; son occurred soon after Pentecost probably in June 30 A. D. The! scene was the Beautiful Gate and Solomon's Porch of the Templed and the hall of the Sanhedrin. 2. To show how bravely thel earlv disciples taught the word of Christ and to set an example to be followed today. 3. The early Christians, wh'le| preaching the word of Jesus, did I not desert Judaeism. but continued j to attend the temple to keep thel specified hours -of prayer. This Peter and John were doing. 4. The cr’pple at the gate was one of the les' known figures in Jerusalem. Crippled since birth, be begged alms at the Beautiful Gate for forty years. So he was known, and the miracle was marked the more. 5.

It was built on th u rem n ant of Solomon’s Temple. 6. Following the miracle, Peter preached to the multitude, explaining that it was the work of the (rncified Jesus. John joined with him. 7. Priests looked upon preaching as their duty. They felt any others who did this were intruders. They were bitterly opposed to the tenets of Christianity. They saw many converted by the miracle. So they arrested the two. 8. 5.000 people were converted in Solomon’s Porch that day because of the miracle and the preaching of the two men. 9. The two were taken before the Sanhedrin the next day. The miracle could not be denied. So the Sanhedrin contented itself with ordering Peter and John not to speak the name of Jesus or

On the following day, members of the Sanhedrin assembled in their meeting place and John and Peter were brought before them.

When the group heard this, they consulted among themselves. The crippled man was there, proving that he was entirely healed. The fact that a miracle had been performed could not be denied.
