S.The method (v. 4). Peter was ar rested, put Into prison and guarded by four quaternions of soldiers. A qua ternion Is a guard of four soldiers on duty at the same time. Four quater nions meant that a special group was on duty" each watch of the night. It was the custom for two soldiers to be in the prison, one on each side of the prisoner, bound tb his arms with chains (v. 6). The third one to watch outside the door and the fourth to be near the outside gate. Humanly speaking it was Impossible to escape. However, they made one fatal mis take ; they left out God. II. The Church of God in Prayer (v. 5). The Church was In a crisis ; her sit uation was most grave. James, one of the pillars of the Church, was dead, and Peter, the most prominent of all, was In prison. In this desperate strait they did the wise thing; they betook themselves to prayer. There Is nnh Ing too hard for God. Theirs was a noteworthy prayer: 1. It was unto God, not unto men to be heard of men. This Is a very com mon fault today. All true prayer is unto God. 2. It was united prayer. It was made by the Church. God hears the prayers of Individuals, but there Is peculiar power in the united prayer of God's people. 3. It was an intensely earnest prayer. It was mo.e than unceasing prayer ; it was the yearning desire of the soul as it stretched Itself out to ward God. 4. It was definite prayer. They spe cifically interceded for Peter. Their prayer was concentrated, definite and specific. III. Peter Delivered by an Angel (vv. C-ll). This occurred the night before Her od's plan to make f public display of htm.

IV. Unconscious Cnpellef (vv. 12-19). 1. The behavior of s Peter and the Church (w. 12-17). Peter went to the house-of Mary und knocked.
