The 13 apostles, led by Peter, were gaining thousands of followers as they preached the new religion, Christianity a doctrine of love throughout the city. The apostles and the new Christians by mutual agreement set up "the only true or decent communalism ever known," each selling all he owned and donating all the proceeds to the common fund.

Peter knew instantly when Ananias and Sapphira withheld part of their funds and his denunciation resulted in their deaths as they were about to be baptized. Direct Compromise iViIiii 11 torship of history, from Nero to Stalin, and whatever others may lie beyond the years. However men may exalt the state, the soul's duty is to obey God rather than men whenever the two obediences conflict in conscience. The judges stared silently at Peter, pondering the profundity in that simple phrase. Presently, Peter continued: "The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom you put to death, hanging Him upon a tree.

Him hath God exalted with His right hand, to be Prince and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins. And we- are witnesses of these things and the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to all that obey Him." Those quiet words of Peter slashed like a sword into the heails of all who heard him. "They were cut to the heart," said Luke. "And they thought to put them to death."

Peter's shadow had the power to heal their diseases. From Bethany, the town of Lazarus; from Bethlehem, where Jesus had been born in a stable; and from a hundred other villages, men came trooping with blankets and crude, homemade litters. Stretcher-beds lined the streets as Peter trudged down from the Cenacle.

The shadow of the great, surging form of the fisherman had only to cross the face of the suffering ones, like a cloud over a lake, and fine health was restored. These healings had a powerful effect upon public opinion In Jerusalem. When Peter and the scholars of Jerusalem.

That's on the word of Inspector George V. Ileisel of the Traffic Bureau. Ileisel, with records incomplete, said that without question it was the heaviest day on record.

There was no clanging of the iron bolts, nor creaking of the leather hinges, no noise of any kind as the door swung out and the clean, free air blew in upon them from the frosty night.

They called another indignation meeting, with a majority of the Sanhedrin present. And after a great deal of fulminating about the impudent teachings of these low-class Galileans who stood on street corners talking to their converts, and after especially reviling Peter and John, the judges reached a decision. The Sanhedrin resolved to annihilate Christianity, root and branch. Destroy the leaders and yeu destroy the movement; that was the Sanhedrin theory. f'HAT SAME afternoon, just at gloaming, all 12 disciples were arrested.
