LESSON TEXT. ? Ac. 2:1-4,14
17, 3741.
(1) And when the day of Pente
cost was fully come, they were all
\yith one accord in one place (2)
And suddenly there came a sound
from heaven as of a rushing
mighty wind, and it filled all the
house where they were sitting. (3)
And there appeared unto them
cloven tongues like as of fire, and
it sat upon each of them. (4) And
they were all filled with the Holy
Ghost, and began to speak with
other tongues, as the Spirit gave
them utterance. (14) But Peter,
standing up with the eleven, lifted
up his voice, and said unto them,
Ye men of Judea, and all ye that
dwell at Jerusalem, be this known
unto you. and hearken to my
words: (15) For these are not
drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it
is but the third hour of the day.
(16) But this is that which was
spoken by the prophet Joel; (17)
And it shall come to pass in the
last days, saith God, I will pour
out of my Spirit upon all flesh:
and your sons and your daughters
shall prophesy, and your young
men .shall see visions, and your old
men shall dream dreams: (37)
Now when they heard this, they
were pricked in their heart, and
said unto Peter and to the rest
of the apostles. Men and brethren,
what shall we do? (38) Then Peter
said urto them. Repent, and be
baptized every one of you in the
name of Jesus Christ for the re
mission of sins, and ye shall re
ceive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
(39) For the promise is unto you,
and to your children, and to all
that are afar off. even as many as
the Lord our God shall call. (40)
And with many other words did he
testify and exhort, saying, Save
yourselves from this untoward
generation. (41) Then they that
gladly received his word were bap
tized: and the same day there
were added unto them about three
thousand souls.

What Can The People Believe?
When the anti-trust lawyers in Washington filed their suit to put the A&P out of business, they immediately
handed out for all the newspapers of the United States a story giving in detail their "allegations" against
this company.
When we published advertisements giving our side of the case, they protested, even though they had made,
and have continued to make, in newspapers, in speeches and over the radio these charges that would seri
ously damage our business, if they were believed by the public.
Every week millions of American housewives patronize A&P stores. Many of them would not want to deal
with the kind of people that the anti-trust lawyers represent us to be.
We think we have a right to protect this 90-year old business which has made it possible for millions of .
American families to get more and better food for their money, which is providing high-wage employment
for 1 10,000 Americans and;wh>ch i? helping millions of farmers to improve the ihethods of distributing
their produce. ...... . t
No answer by us would be necessary if the anti-trust lawyers were always right.
But they, like all other human beings, can be wrong. . v
In this case we know they are wrong.
They have been wrong before.
In case after case they made charges against A&P which were proved in court to be utterly without foun
dation.
We will prove that statement right up to the hilt.
The anti-trust lawyers tell the public that they won a previous anti-trust suit against us it Danville. Illinois.
They did.
What they do not tell you is that they brought case after case against the A&P in federal courts all over
the United States. Before they won this case they suffered three defeats.
The anti-trust lawyers have told everybody about die time that the courts said they were right We think
you are entitled to know about the three times the courts said they were wrong.
Now we are going to tell you about the first one. In future advertisements we will tell you about all of them.
The Washington Bread Case
In April, 1941, the anti-trust lawyer* brought a criminal wit in Wash
ington, D. C.
They charged that the A&P, two grocery chain competitors, two labor
unions and other good American citizens had conspired to fix the price
of bread.
Can anyone imagine any charge calculated to be more damaging to a
retail grocery business) They asked millions of people to believe that
we were the kind of grocers who would take bread out of the mouths of
poor people and make it harder for a wife and mother to feed her family.
? Thete char get were fait*.
In that case it developed that the A&P and the two competitors who were
charged with conspiring with us to maintain high bread prices actually
sold bread cheaper than most of the other stores in Washington.
The anti-trust lawyers presented and argued their csue. When they were
through. Federal District Judge Allen T. Goldsborough ruled that AW
and the other defendants did not even have to put in a defense. He
ordered the jury to bring in a verdict of "not guilty."
Judge Cold thorough taid to the anti-trutt lawyert:
"If you were to thou) thit record to any experienced
trial lawyer in the world, he would tell you that there
uiat not any evidence at all.
" Honettly , I have never in niy over forty yearf experi
ence teen tried a case that wat at abtolutely devoid of
evidence at thit. That it the honest truth. I have never
teen one like it"
So here wu a case in which the anti-trust lawyers made serioasly damaging
charges against the AAP, in support of which, in the words of the court,
they did not have "any evidence at all."
<
This was not the only time the anti-trust lawyers made charges against
the AfcP which the courts said were not true. In future ads we are going
to tell you about these other suits. We are not going to duck, either. Wo
are going to tell you about the criminal suit that the anti-trust lawyers
won at Danville, Illinois. ?
The anti-trust lawyers say that they are not attacking "bigness" or
efficiency. They have to say that because the courts have decided that
"bigness" and efficiency and selling at low prices is not a crime.
But the fact is cryatal clear that they only brought their bread suit against
the big companiea and against companies that sold good bread at the
lowest prices; just as in this current suit they are attacking a big company
that sells good food chea^. ?
We are going to show the American people that the suit to destroy A&P
is really a suit against efficiency and against real competition.
The real question involved in this suit is whether businessmen are going
to be encouraged to do a better and more efficient job; or whether we
are going to let the anti-trust lawyers in Washington blow the whistle on
anybody who gets big by giving the people more for their money.
No one can make us believe that it it a crime to try to teU
the best quality food at the lowest possible price. ?
