mow, inereiore, are wo an uer pres
ent before God to hear all things that
are commanded thee of God ;" a

Would it describe or condemn the

Peter, in his exordium, conlesses his
late perception of what was always
true, that a God who is Justice's very
self can not be swerved by tbe mere
accidents of birth and environment,
but only in response to personal quali
ties of heart will bestow his favor.
He rehearses the facts of gospel his
tory, with which bis auditors must
probably be somewhat acquainted. Ii
is likely we have here but the faintest
outline of a sermon that may baye
consumed considerable time in its de
livery. As Peter, at length, reached
the very core of the gospel, the forgive
ness of sins through the ineffable
Name, their hearts, all tender and
trustful, receive at onca both gift and
Giver. Instantly there ie a sound
which Peter could not fail to recognize.
Tbe radiant Shekinah is there. It
separates into tongues, one of which
rests upon each Gentile. " "The Pente
cost of tbe Gentiles" is come.
;Tbe old proverb, "What God does,
is well done," never bad a better exem
plification than in the manner Provi
dence took to rid tbe Church of Its
prejudice, break down "the middle wall
of partition," and prepare for the un
restricted admission of the Gentile.
' Paul was no favorite of the Jewish
Christian faction. They t uepected,
disliked him. Had he been forward at
this time in this matter, rupture and
schism- would have been inevitable.
Paul afterward conserved, by his ap
peal to the Council at Jerusalem and
the invincible logic of his epistles, the
Copyright, Davis W. Clark.
When that centurion of the proud
Cornelian gens received his latest mili
tary assignment, he .may have com
miserated tbe ill-luck that cast his lot
among the offensive and turbulent
Jews. How littleeould he discern in
the kindly leading of Providence !
Military service among the Judean
hills was God's way for him " into tbe
kingdom. His faith in Roman my
thology, already shaken, grasps most
gratefully Hebrew monotheism, and is
still farther prepared to receive the
doctrine of the cross.
The humility and moral earnestness
of this imperial captain is put to tbe
severest test imaginable.. He is asked
to send tor a Galilean peasant amid the
disgusting sights and evil odors of a
tanner's house, and from such an un
canny source obtain instruction con
cerning his supreme interests.
The seeker shows his downright sincer
ity by not caviling or delaying. Scarcely
is the angal gone before his trusty
servants are oa their way to Joppa.
The Galilean etood in as imperative
need of preparation for his share in
tbe transaction as tbe Roman. Racial
and relieious prejudices the most in
veterate were t-o be oyercome. Peter
proved as humble and morally earnest
as Cornelius, and was soon on his way
to Caesarea, alert for the faintest hint
of the Divina will. -
Cornelius wa3 not p.ying his investi
gations in either Hebrewism or Chris
tianity clandestinely or selfishly.
When he had obtained a sure foot-
ug upon some new height, he was not
content until he bad drawn as many
of his friends and kinsmen as possible
Providential intervention.
Philip, the evangelist, was a resident
of Caesarea, a neighbor of Cornelius-;
but he lacked the prestige of the apos
tolate. Peter, onhe other handthe
true "apostle of tin circumcision,"
most authoritative, above suspioion of
any possibility of betraplng Judaism
ts Peter the all-significant vision came.
"He wes God's best man for the hour."
Again, tbe conspicuous candidate for
full and immediate admission into
the Christian Church without submis
sion to the Hebrew rite was admirably
chosen a man at once open hearted
and ; openhanded ; "of good report
among all the nation of the Jews;"
so much of a J 3 w and , so much of a
Gentile as to form a connecting link
between both people.
The place where this transcedent
scene was to be enacted was as fitly
chosen as the human instrument and
subject : Caesarea, the superb foreign
city on Hebrew soil, the political cap
ital, the very citadel of Gentllism.
The time, too, was as apt. :i The ten
years of comparatively fruitless toil
among the Gentiles must have begun
to convince the Church that tbe world
would never accept the gospel pins
Judaism, circeumcision, and all. The
cruel murder of Stephen had helped to
prove the spirit of Judaism and Chris
tian ty irreconcilable. The conversion
of the Ethiopian and all Samaria
flashed upon the Jewieb-Christian
consciousness the truth that God wa3
no reepecter of persons, and that Jew
and Gentile were fellow-heirs, share
and share alike, to the Inheritance of
grace. - . - - "
Providence takes the irrepressible
and perplexing problem o the status
of the Gentile toward Judaism and
Christianity. He gives an unmis
takable formulary for its . solution in
every instance. As Cornelius and his
companions, uncircumcised Gentiles,
had received a Pentecostal effusion
precisely like that which the Jewish
disciples had receiyed, the distinction
of the Jew and and Gentile was evi
dently abolished. Henceforth it was
undoubtedly tbe Divine will that
Gentile should become
the
a Christian

You sometimes see a woman whose
o'd age is'as exquisite as was the. per
fect bloom of her youth. You wonder
how this has come about. You won
der how it Is that her life has been a
long happy one. Here are some of the
reasons :
She knew bow to forgot disagreeable
things.
Shs kept her nerves well in hand,
and" inflicted them on no or.e.
She mastered the art of saying pleas
ant things.
She did not expect too much from
her friends. .
She made whatever work that came
to her congenial.
She retained her illusions, and did
not believe all the world wicked and
unkind. : "'
She relieved the miserable and sym
pathized with the sorrowful. -;
She never forgot that kind words
and a smile cost nothing, but are price
less treasures to the discouraged.
She did unto others as she would be
done by, and now that old age has
come to her, and there is a halo of
white hair about her head, she is Iovd
and considered. The is the secret of
long life and a happy one.
Is it "ITamid For" or "Nama
After?"
Apiil Ladies' Home Journal.
Should I say that my son is "named
for" his grandfather or that he is
"named after" him ?
You may say eithsr, but the weight
of good usage is with "named after"
"named for" has some vogue in tbe
United Stt9s, but is so longer current
in England ; "named after" is in good
use in both countries.
