Sunday School Lesson
(By Rev. Charles E. Dunn
The Coming of the Holy Spirit
in Power.
Lesson for July Ith. Acts 2:1-11
Golden Text: Acts 1-8.
On the day of Pentecost there
occurred a very remarkable demon
stration of spiritual ppwer. The
disciples of Jesus, gathered in the
early morning for worship, were
suddenly seized by the breath of
God and inspired to speak in many
tongues. So unusual was their be
havior that they seemed to be in
toxicated.
The fruits of Pentecost were
three-fold First, and most ob
viously, the disciples felt a new
energy pulsating within them. In
the second place, their sense of fel
lowship was greatly reinforced.
They seemed bound together by the
nprds of a corporate solidarity.
And finally they were lifted to a
height where they saw life from a
fresh perspective.
Fortunately this spiritual vitality
is still available, for we are the
children of a dynamic, living uni
verse. One vital illustration of
this truth is to be found in the
person of Toyjohiko Kagawa, the
Japanese prophet and saint who has
been addressing such crowded audi
ences all over America and Canada.
Although his command of English
is defective, and his bodily eppear
ance unimpressive, partly because
of the inrtoads of tuberculosis and
trachoma contracted in the slums
of Kobe, one feels that here indeed
is a man of God captured by a di
vine impulse.
Now Kagawa’s career began with
a close study of the New Testa
ment, the teachings of which he
accepted literally after the manner
.of St. Francis. Breaking with his
family, abandoning the public
career he had anticipated, he plung
ed into the slums there to share his
few possessions with beggars and
thieves. Later he preached in the
shipyards and mills of Japan, and
organized its first labor union.
More recently he has developed a
series of cooperative organizations
which he believes to contain the
secret of a truly Christian econo
mic order. Today he may be called
the world’s most influential pro
ponent of the social gospel.

Blackheads caused very little worry
in grandmother’s day. They were
accepted more or less as a matter
of course. Now, however, we know
that each blackhead is a potential
pimple and therefore a cause for
real concern. We’re becoming
educated. Today’s beauty special
ists regard blackheads with grave
suspicions and route them before
they have a chance to become deep
ly imbedded.
Removing blackheads calls for
more than the usual soap and water
br even cream cleaning. We must
throw the pores wide open first of
all so that the blackheads can be re
moved without bruising or irritat
ing the skin. Hot water accom
plishes this best. First a thorough
cleansing, then hot packs placed
over the blackhead area to soften
the skin. Packs of cotton dipped
in a hot astringent oil, or hot castor
oil, produces the best results and
Jossens the blackheads so that it
can be gently pressed out. Always
be gentel about this. Better to let it
go and repeat the process the next
evening rather than take a chance
of bruising the skin if the blackhead
is obstinate.
Once removed, pat the skin with
a little skin tonic to close tht pores
and spread pore cream (over the
area to keep the pores refined.
Guard against future blackheads by
keeping the skin scrupulously clean.
Keep the bowels open. Drink plen
ty of water. And be careful your
diet is not overburdened with
starches and sweets.

Although many of fashion’s
high priests claim that flats and
Ifcwheeled evening slippers are de
finitely out, they refuse to take
the count according to the latest
style news from Paris. Ladies of
lofty stature who tower over most
of their dancing partners are their
staunchest champions.

Perfume should be a sort of aura
that floats around you—a part of
your personality, or something. And
here are some tests in selecting a
perfume that are fun to try. N(btice
the difference in smell of the same
perfume on your handkerchief and
on your skin. Try smelling a drop
m the palm of your hand, and a
larger quantity rubbed over the
whole arm. Master perfumers point
out that their products smell as dif
ferently on one person as on an
other as those two persons differ
in chemical skin composition.

Corn meal makes an excellent
substitute fbr a dry shampoo for
removing excess oil and cleaning
the hair. To be on the safe side,
spread newspaper over the floor
of the room where you do it, then
take a cup of dorn meal and brush
thoroughly through the hair. After
it is removed, carefully and com
pletely, scent with a little petfume
and press your waves in place.

Cleaning window shades is not a
difficult or messy task if the fol
lowing simple procedure is follow
ed: Stretch them out on the porch,
having first taken the precaution to
spread down a clean sheet or other
covering, dust thoroughly, then go
over each with a wet cloth that has
been rubbed with white soap. Rinse
off the soap with a cloth squeezed
out in clear water.
* * *
Household Hint: Soap which
contains free alkali will injure,
among other things, linoleum,
paint, varnish, wool, silk and deli
cate fabrics.

Grandma was shewing the four
year old grandson some pictures.
"Here are the father and mother
bunnies, you see, and here are the
six little baby bunnies.”
"But,” asked the grandson,
shocked, "can they afford all those
children?”
