"Day of Pentecost" <1 xn?-uns the feast which was hold fifty a days after the wave sheaf was of- h fered (Lev. 113:15-16). It was ob- p orved b.v presenting two loaves made ot ttie new wheat (Lev. 23:17) These loaves were baked with leaveu, while )enven was excluded from the Pussaver feast (Lev. 23:6).

III. The Converting Power ef the HoJy Spirit (A< ts 2:37-41'). Many people were convicted of their ins?about three thousand repented and were baptized. This revival was real because: 1.

I eon-1 > it is a subject above my know rge o approach as to make it as strong ; s it should be made, and again I feel ke saying a few words in regard to' he drunkard and the shape he is in { o face the coming judgment. Some ne may say where did we get the , r>t record of anyone getting drunk \ ' very often see a passage in the; id and the New Testament in re I a-1 ion to the drunkard. Please note' lenesis lt-21. that is speaking of *oah. "And he drank v ftht wine mi a*as drunken.'* I almost think am safe in saying this is the start 'C point of this evil stutt effecting lie cause of the upbuilding of our ord's kingdom. Let us see just what , as followed this crime. It was notfc- \ lg more than the confusion of the ; >ngues. And we all know that God , as some cause for all of his pun- { sments which was cast upon hi.- peoIe, and why not think of him being ispleased with the drunkenness of oah, and again we can recall the rrible fate that followed the drunenness of Lot, and by reading these . a.-.-ages we can see very plainly that iod always fought against this drink. iow what was it that Christ said, bout the drunkards inheriting the kingdom oi God? He plainly says j hat they shall not inherit the king-1 om of Heaven. Now what hope- can dopei or drinker of >t.rong drinks ave of being saved? -Jesus says that eople wen* eating and drinking b? r e the flood came. Xoah got drunk j rom the wine made from his own rapes scoij after the flood. If the; ood came on account of the debau- , buries accompanied with wine, as ur Lord s words seem to imply. N'oah an example of the hold which; !:? liquor has and the etTeci of al- i >hoi;c drink was the same in that: .. . ... ; u -on cane ui? u i> twaaj . nil1 a*-? L'ripiioi: of :i drunkard given above J : really true to life. It is said that; n ancient Greece people used to I'ach their children the di-gusing ev ?>t drunkenness by niakinjr their twant- drunk and then let their hiidren see them. One of the most iltiable heart breaking nights is a runkcn man. Besides a drunken man > always dangerous, no one knows hat he will do. in the long list of j liminals about ninety per cent are ; l inking men, <>i were brought into ; rouble by drink. 'be story of Noah and Abel are carr glimpses of moral degradation > aused by drink. All through the j irophetic and poetic parts of the lible the warnings against it are related. Not only S.J, but the whole iatory of mankind is shot through nd through with story after story of J :s ruin. Under the influence of drink the lorul sense is dulled until restraint - practically destroyed. A drunken ian is brutalized. The road to moral r.d physical manhood is by way of ? ntroh The evil effects of drink re seen in every hospital in the rorio. Take the man wounded in attle or hurt in a railroad or auto cciciont, the drinking man has fewer bailees ol" fPi tirnr uuil t-koi. ?V.v bstainer. The same thing is true ir. he case of an epidemic. The drinkug man's power of resistance are weakened. He is in greater danger t rom the prevailing disease and more ikely to die if he contracts it, than he total abstainer.

Perhaps its wide use as j a medicine in former days went far toward forming: the habit of drink-' ip.g, jjvt as the opium or morphine1 habit is often formed from the use j of these drugs to relieve pain. When tb? habit once is formed the poor' victim is its slave. Quite often one \v it! drink to drown his sorrow but that only adds to the misfortune and poisons into a festering sore what otherwise might have been only ai tender memory. One may drink to get momentaryrelief from his sense of wrong doing but when he sobers, up he finds him-| self deeper :n the mire of sin than be! fore. There is no valid reason in j any circumstance or condition of life for drinking whiskey. Boy.- and girls who never saw a drunken man and have no idea of the saioen as a nesting place of vice and crime, who have never seen 1 he drunkard's children, ragged and half J Starved, who have never heard the screams of the drunkard's wife, can nave little conception of the blessings of prohibition. Now the drunkard may get it into his head that he has a i ready done too much to be ! saved. Well if we believe rhe scriptures we can't deny the fact how i low we stoop if we want to be saved and are willing to turn from sin our Savior will always meet us half way. What does he say in Luke 19-10? "For the Son of man is come to seek ; and to save that which is lost." He is always waiting. We should not de-1 lay this great matter and let death! take us before we arc prepared. HERMAN WILCOX. HOW WASHINGTON BECAME CAPITAL CITY From the Washington Star. One of the measures before the First Congress which caused serious disci-ssio,. was the "assumption bill" under the terms of which the general government would assume the revolutionary debts of the states. Virginia's debt, had been reduced, was funded at per cent, and the interest was being regularly paid. Some states' had not been successful in caring for; th?- revolutionary obligations and Virginia protested against assuming :i share of responsibility for debts of iess prosperous or provident states I Representative Richard Bl^nd I<ee I and Alexander White of Virginia were vigorous in opposing the assumption bill, which was a pet mcas4 j' ;-s m r/\ . i Never K M neglect ?.

Anothei measure of earnest debate was the providing for the establishment of a permanent seat of government. As the capito' location bii* fars?t pa >ed the house it tixed the -eat of government on the Susquehanna River. The bill went to the Senate, and the Capita! site was charged to Germ ant own. l'a. The! Ho'.ise accepted the change, but maui a minor amendment which sent the] bill back to the Senate. Richard Bland Lee had offered *tj reso'ut:on tnat tne capital be estab- 1 fished on the Potomac river. While the < questions were in agitation there wa. a dinner party at the house of Thomas Jefferson, Washington's Secretary cf State. It is thought there an agreement was reached that Hamilton would support Lee's Capital location resolution and that Lee would support the assumption hill. That biil had got before the House again, and Reprcsentatievs Richard Bland Lee and Alexander Richard Biand Lee and Alexander White of Virginia and Daniel Carrol' of Mary land reversed themselves and voted for it and it was passed. The . House passed the hill establishing the seat of government on the Potomac between the mouth of the Eastern branch and that of Conogocheague creek duly 1), 1700. by a vote of 32 ' to L'9. It went through the Senate in that form, and was signed by Pres- . ide.it Washington, July 16, 1790. It was amended March 3, 1791, that the ' federal territory might be below the mouth of the Eastern branch, so as to include the town of Alexandria, but before the amendment was enacted. President Washington directed the Commissioners to lay out the new territory as it is today, minus I that part which Virginia ceded, anal which was retroceded. MOTHERS?
