What do yon think of an orange akin that throws * man on the pavement ?—Philadelphia Ledger SUNDAY SCHOOL •t, Lesson V.—Second Quarter, April 30, 1916. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Act* xii, ' 1-11. Memory VorM, 11—Ooldon Text, Ps. xxxiv, 7—Commentary Prepared by Otev. D. Oil. Sturm. If the word* •'about thit time" of verse 1 refer to the tout foor verses of the previous chapter, theh It WMX al>out the time that Baruubas and Suul were In Jerusalem with the financial help from the believers at Anfloch for the aalnta at Jerusalem. Tlila would ap pear to be so from the laat verse of our leason chapter, HO that we may think of Barnabaa and Haul belli# nt the prayer meeting In the houxe of Mary, who was sister to Barnabas (verse 12; Col. Iv, 10). How often the first words of Gen. HI. 1, come to u* as wc read the Bible story or the story of the world In the dally iiapers or our own life story? "Now the ser|ent" for we are reminded by Peter that our adver sary, the devil, walketh about seeking whom he may devour (I Pet v, 8). Satan himself confessed to the Lord that It was bis custom to go to and fro In the earth and walk up unit down In It (Job I. 7; 11. 2). Paul tells us that our conflict Is not HJ UIU.II tvilh what we see as with the Invisible powers of darkness, and therefore we need the whole armor of Ood lEph. v|. 10-18). Herod was a eootl acrvnnt of the devil and did quite a bit of work for blm when he killed James and put Peter In prison (verses 1-31. On that last night ere our Ixrd was crucified, He told His followers that tbey might expect to be put out of the synagogue and even killed for His sake and would surely have tribulation (John Ivl. 1, 2, 33). From heaven He sent word, after He had been some time there, that the devil would cast some of them into prison, but being faithful, even If they died for It. there would be a great re ward (Hev. 11, 10). James, being killed, had the gain, the far better, absent from the body present with the Lord, the rest from labor, while fyter. being only Imprisoned remained still where the devil could reach him If the Lord should permit Many, however, wonld prefer the prison to being killed. As far as soldiers were concerned, Peter seemed to lie well guarded, with no possibility of escape, but how often He that sltteth In the heavens langhs at the schemes of men when they take counsel against Him! (Ps. 11. 1-4.) The believers prayed without ceas ing to Ood for Peter, but there seemed to be no answer until the very night beforo Peter was to be brought forth, probably for execution. The Lord may seem to delay, but when He purposes to do a thing ne Is never too late. Heaven heard, and the angel came. Peter was asleep chained to two sol dlers, and other two kept the door of the prison. IJow perfectly fascinating to see pn angel work! Soldiers and doors and prison walls are no blud ranee. The prison Is entered; the an gel awakens Peter; the chains fall off. Peter puta on some clothing by the aid of the light from the angel and follows bis guide, gates and doors opening before them of their own ac cord, until Peter Is at least one street away from the prison, thinking It all a beautiful dream or vision. The-angel, having fulfilled his com mission; went back to heaven, ltlussed ed ministry and, oh. how wonderful! The God of Israel doetl) won.lrously Peter soon cßfjiue to himself and knew that he hail been In very deed dellv ered by a messenger from heaven who never waited to Is- eveu lhaubed for his great kindness. Tlie.v serve gen erally uuseen and always uulhanked What ailed the xoltllerx? Was It a ■leep from the Lord, as In I Hath. xxvl. 12, or a K|>ciiil blindness, as lu II Kings vt, 18 Well, It was a dellv eranco from the Lord, and nothing Is too hard or wonderful for Illm. (Jer Hill, 17.) When Peter realised that be was really free and that It was neither dream nor vision he went at once to where be knew tbey would be praying for blm. But the damael who came to the door as be knocked, recog nlxlng Peter'a voice, was ao glad that ■be ran In without opening the door and aald that Peter was at the gate. Instead of thanking God Ar answered prayer they told her that abe was mad or beside herself. It looked aa If they were ,asking without expecting. we so often do. She continued to affirm that abe waa right and Peter continued knocking, and when finally tbey did open the door there be was In very deed. .„ What a hubbub tbey did make! Ilow they did talk! Did you ever bear any thing like It after prayer meeting? When tbey-cot real social, even though many of tbem could not speak In the meeting—could not say a word for Him who died for them. When Peter got them quiet he told what had bap pened and bade them tell the breth ren while he went to Caesarea. perhaps to abide with Philip or Cornelius and to tell there of this wonderful dellv erance. The chapter enda with the death of the kee|*rs and alao the death of Herod. Ao angel delivered Peter and an angel smote Herod.

BETTER ROADS FOR MONTANA Governor Stewart Makes Plea For Improved Highways. OLD TRAILS AND NEW. Whsn the Ploaiure Vehicle Came Into Use the Question of Better Roade Appeared as a Small Cloud Upon the Community Horizon—Modern High ways Meet New Conditions. Time was when any sort of avenue of communication between communi ties was looked upon as fairly ade quate, writes Governor Sato V. Stew art of Montana to the Anaconda Stand ard. The country was sparsely settled, demands for hurried communication were negligible and methods of trans portation were of the crudest The chief user cf the trail, which through courtesy was sometimes dignified by the twin "big road," was the freighter, the bullwhucker, who knew that be tween the beginning and the end of his trip lay a loni; strip of soil whereon he | might expect any variety of weather • and encounter soils that were of vary ing degrees of preparedness for bis train. But the fact worried hiin not at all. He employed the best means at hand and relied upon tlie almost un limited power of ills humble animals to puil him through. But the wheels of progress made a revolution or two, and tho pleasure ve hicle came into use, whereupon the question of better roads appeared as a cloud tbe size of a man's hand upon the community horizon. The advocate for something better derided the trail that bad served tbe population for a time and began to cry for highways. The difference between a trail and a highway is vast in comfort, in utility aud in cost, and the latter Item had much to do with keeping the move ment back. A bit or miss system was evolved whereby a little work woe done at long intervals upon the roads, and then for long periods they were left to take care of themselves. The result was partially satisfactory so long as nature was kind and the weather of a character to make travel pleasant. But at times tbe elements conspired against the roadmakers, and it was often the case that the driver found as much of his vehicle below tbe surface as above it By and by men began to figure from the economic side of the question, and it was found that in tbe road that lay between the farmer and bis market was to be found the difference between a balance and a deficit when it came to marketing his crop. It required no argument to demonstrate that the mad who could make a trip to market in one day where be had formerly occu pied two days was making a pro nounced saving—was economizing in horseflesh and In farm utensils and winning an extra day that would prove of value to him In his ranch work. Evolution In machinery building brought us Anally to the automobile, the pleasure vehicle and the truck, and tbe question of Improved highways be came one of pressing Important*.' • Tbe owner of the pleasure car cried aloud for a better roadway, and the farmer Joined in the chorus because it had bo oome possible for him at a moderate outlay to bring himself many hours nearer market, provided the roads were In passable condition. Tbe combina tion of rural resident aud city ownei and city business man was irresistible. To meet the condition thus brought about to now the problem engrossing tbe atteution of city, county and state authorities the couhtry Over. Engi neers are giving their best thought to the problem of evolving tbe beet meth od of road building at a minimum ex pense, and the authorities are striving to give the people what they are call ing for in so far as the funds available will permit. The difference between good roads and the bad variety is the difference between Industry and sloth, between pride and carelessness, between the don't care community and tbe com munity that*will be satisfied with noth ing short of the best The transition from a road of quagmires and ruts is not one that can* be wrought In a day or a year, but the county that devotee every possible energy each year to ac complishing tbe utmost in the way of highways thereby marks Itself as pro greesive and filled with tbe vision of greater and better things to come from fc-——iCftSTORIA ifjvjSvfffjVMl) I For Infants and Children. ihlM Mothers Know That mGenuine Castoria mmm \ SJSSSZ Always / , Bears th 9 /X$ ISIS Bw TAi(/ [Msa " fay jnirwwr** Thirt y YearS ISSASTORIA Exact Copy of Wrapper.

One of the greatest betiofacturs of our time was he who mcde it possible to transport two tons over our country roads where less than one could be transported before. The Inventor and the manufacturer have made It possi ble for the people to live in far great er comfort, to travel In luxurious ease and to thereby win a competence where such a thing was impossible under old conditions, and the people owe it to themselves to discharge their implied obligations. I believe that, so far as Montana Is concerned, they are doing this, and the time Is coming, and not far distant at that, when the number of good roads enthusiasts In the state will tally exactly with the number of citizens orf the census rolls.
