And Peter, being thrown into prison. was delivered from it. in the dead of night, by an Angel: and once, his words before God caused a man named Ananiaa. and bis wife Napphira. who had told a he. to be struck down dead, upon the earth. Wherever they wewt. they were persecuted and cruelly treated, and one man named Raul, who had held the clothes of some barbarous persons who pelted one of the Christians. named Stephen, to death with stones, whs always active in doing them harm But God turned Saul's heart afterwarda; for as he was travelling to Damascus Io hud out some Christians who were there and drag them to prison, there shone slx>ut him a great light from Heaven; a voice cried. "Seal, Saul, why persecutest thou me!" and he was struck down from his horse, by an invisible baud, in sight of all the guards and soldiers who were riding with him. When they raised him. they found that he was blind; and so he remained for three days, neither eating nor drinkink. until one of the Christians (sent to him by an Angel for that purpose) restored his sight In the name of Jesus Christ. After which, he became a Christian, end preached, and taught, sad believed, with the ApoMles. and did great service. They took the name of Christians from our Havlour Christ, and carried crosses as their eigu. because

upon a cross He had suffered death. The religions that were then In the world were false and brutal and encouraged men to Vfplencc Beasts and even men. were killed *n the churches. In the belief that the smell of their blood was pleasant to the Gods — there were supposed to be a great many Gods — and many most cruel and disgusting ceremonies prevailed. Yet, for all this, and though the Christian religion was such a true, and kind, and good one. the pi tests of the old religions long persuaded the people to do all possible hurt to the Christians*, and Christians were hanged, beheaded, burnt, buried alive, and devoured In theatres by wild beasts for the pule lie amusement, during many years. Nothing would silence them, or terrify them though, for they knew that if they did their duty they would go to Heaven. So thousands upon thousands of Christians sprung up and (aught the people and were cruelly killed, and were succeeded by other Christians, until the religion gradually became tbs great religion of the world Remember! — It is Christianity TO DO GOOD, always — even to those who do ert! to us. it is Christianity to love our neighbours as ourself, and to do to all men as we would have them do to us. It is Christianity to be gentle, merciful, and forgiving, and to keep those qualities quiet in our own hearts, and sever make a boast of them, or of our prayers or of our love of God, but always to skew that we love Him by humbly trying to do right in everything. If we do this, and remember the life and lessons es Our Lord Jesus Christ, and try to act up to them, we may onDdently hope that God will forgive ns our sins and mistakes, and enable us to live and die in puace.
