CHEAT IMP OF WAKEFULNESS
Some Methods by Which It Is Said
the Drowsy God May Be Suc
cessfully Wooed.
Sufferers from sleeplessness should
try this trick. Have a pair of blinders
made from a double thickness of black
6ilk. These should just cover the eyes,
with a cut for the nose, being held in
place by a broad elastic band. Hang
these on the bed post, and if the morn
tng light comes in too early put them
on. Another remedy is suggested by
the sleeping methods of pigs. Tie fwo
paper clips to either end of a cord
seven or eight feet long. Clip the top
of the counterpane with one and a
soft weight with the other. If not
sleeping after 15 minutes, pull the
counterpane over your head. This in
duces that long, even breathing, nat
ural to the approach of sleep, as may
be noticed in pigs. As one dozes off,
the hand holding the counterpane re
laxes. and the weight pulls it down,
so that one is again breathing fresh
air. People suffering from insomnia
should, when traveling, insist upon a
double bed in a quiet room. Be sure
that it is not over the kitchen or near
ft motor garage, or facing a clock that
sounds the quarter hours, or within a
gii'i throw of a fowl house.

ART WORKS ON LARGE SCALE
Interesting Figures Concerning Decora
tions for Lincoln Memorial Build
ing at Washington.
Simply to stretch the canvas, says
Jesse Lynch Williams, describing in
Scribner's Magazine how Jules Guerin
painted the decoration for the Lincoln
Memorial building in Washington, re
quired eight men, which is less sur
prising when one realizes that each fig
ure in the groups Mr. Guerin w T as about
to paint is a good deal larger than the
painter himself. One agrees with the
writer that, although such details are
not necessary to art appreciation, it is
interesting to know that the two un
painted canvases cost S4OO apiece, and
that when the artist finished his work
the paint he had used added 150 pounds
to their weight. And because the paint
ings will be somewhat exposed to
weather, the paint was mixed with
wax, in a way which chemical analysis
shows was done to weatherproof paint
ing when the ancient kings of Egypt
were erecting memorial buildings.

LESSON
(By REV. P. B. J» ITZWATjuR, D. D.,
Teacher of English Bible in the Moody
Bible Institute of Chicago.)
(Copyright, 1920, Western Newapaper Union)
LESSON FOR JANUARY 25
PETER STANDS UP FOR TRUTH
AND HONESTY.
LESSON TEXT—Acts 5:1-16.
GOLDEN TEXT—Lying lips are abomi
nation to the Lord: but they that deal
truly are his delight.—Prov. 12:22.
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—Ex. 20:16;
Prov. 11:1; Matt. 6: 2-4; Gal. 6:7, 8; Eph.
4:15. 25. 30.
PRIMARY TOPlC—Telling the Truth.
JUNIOR TOPIC Two Disciples and
What Became of Them.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—The Folly and Sinfulness of Lying.
In this lesson we see the new com
munity now called "the church" (v.
11) vindicated. In the boldness of
Peter and John we see that the break
with Judaism has come—the authority
of the Sanhedrin is repudiated with
the determination on the part of the
disciples to be led by the Holy Spirit.
It is for this reason that the body now
gets the name "church." Since the
break has come it must be shown to be
a holy body; it must have recognition
as being sacred. The sanctity of the
tabernacle is transferred to the new
body, which Is God's dwelling place
(Eph. 2:19-22). The church itself, as
well as the people about, did not know
this until God's judgment burst forth.
I. Characteristics of the Primitive
Church (4:31-35).
1. It was a praying church (v. 31).
For every want annd every need they
betook themselves to God In prayer.
2. It was a Spirit-filled church (v.
31). A praying church Is a Spirit-filled
church. The Spirit is given In an
swer to prayer (Luke 11:13).
3. It was a church which had great
boldness in preaching the Word of
God (v. 31). The minister In a Spirit
filled church will not offer an apology
for the Bible, but will fearlessly
preach it.
4. It was a united church (v. 32).
They were "of one heart and one
soul."
5. It was a charitable and generous
church (v. 32). As needs arose sup
plies were given from a common fund.
6. Its ministers had a powerful tes
timony (v. 33).
7. It was a church whose member
ship exhibited unblemished characters
(v. 33). For "great grace was upon
them all."
11. The Sin of Ananias and Sapphlra
(w. 1-11).
1. Its occasion (vv. 1, 2). This was
their hypocritical imitation of the gen
erous act of Barnabas (4:36, 37). Be
cause of the peculiar distress of the
early church when the open rupture
was made with Judaism, the members
for a time had a "community of
goods." This was not universal no!
permanent; some continued to own
their own homes, as for example John
Mark's mother, who used her home In
which to entertain Christians. Ananias
kept back a part of the money re
ceived for his land while pretending to
have brought it all. His -wife was a
partner in it. They wanted the honor
of generosity without paying the price.
2. The judgment (vv. 3-10). Ananias
allowed satan to fIU his heart and lied
to the Holy Ghost in keeping back a
part of the price of the land. It was
most likely an acted lie. They were
not under obligation to sell their land,
or having sold it, to bring any of the
money and place it in the common
fund. Peter declared that they were
absolutely free to do as they pleased
with it. Love of praise is causing
mnny today to make the same dread
ful mistake. People are walking in
the way of Ananias and Sapphlra
when they make a profession of re
ligion for temporal gain and pleasure;
or even preaching sermons not their
own. Frequently men preach the ser
mons of Moody and Spurgeon without
giving credit. Physical death was vis
ited upon Ananias and Sappliira for
their sins.
111. The Effect (vv. 11-16).
1. Great fear came upon the church
and upon all who heard of these
things (v. 11). Irreverence Is an out
standing sin of this age. The church
should he recognized as holy—the very
dwelling place of the Most High God.
2. Multitudes of men and women
were added to the Lord (v. 14). This
caused the fame of Peter to be spread
far and wide, so that the people .were
anxious to come under his shadow.
Were the holiness of the body of
Christ recognized, there would be
many coming for pardon and salva
tion.
3. The hypocrites did not dare to
join (v. 13). It is Interesting to note
that this vindication of the holiness
of the church did not deter any but
hypocrites from joining it. Nothing
unhallowed nor any unregenerate per
son has a p'nce in the church. This
applies to our offerings as well as to
our person.
Daily Prayer.
Oh Lord, we thank thee that men
turn to thee; the measure of their need
is the measure of thy supply. Let thy
spirit dwell in our spirits, and then all
shall be well within and peaceful with
out. We pray thee to give us a fuller
and firmer, and more continual, and
more vigorous and efficacious confi
dence in thyself. Through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.
Character Building.
Life Is mainly an opportunity for
character building and testing.

Conflicting Accounts.
Little Helen —Mamma, the minister
told me today that God gave me to

Mother —Well, he did, my dear.
