No one who has ever ridden in the Essex Super-Six can ever forget the thrilling difference from all other transportation. Smooth indifference to road conditions silk smooth ness in all performance riding is actually like flying. It will give you fifty miles an hour all day long with ease to car and comfort to passengers, with far greater speed if you want it. In every detail the Essex Super-Six engineered to outstanding savings in fuel and oil, with freedom from early depreciation and lowest maintenance cost. This Essex Super-Six obtained instant recognition when it was first exhibited. Its popularity has de veloped into the greatest sales success in the long line of Essex achievements. These are but a few of the reasons why we urge that you see, inspect and ride in an Essen before deciding on any car. There are six beautiful models to choose from.

The Persistent Apostles After the beginning of the church, and the wonderful things which the apostles did, the people were much interested in the cause of the Master, and many associated themselves with i the organization believing that Jesus I was indeed the very Christ, the Son of God. There went aboard the good news that the apostles were healing all manner of diseases and were preaching with wonderful force and telling of the way of life and how Christ had come to earth, lived as we lived, and gave his life for the sins of the world, how he had been raised from the dead and after forty days x llvul returned to His home in heaven j with the Father. i 1111s aaa causeu u:t' jituit iu i j around the apostles and especially Peter and his co-worker. John, for, ; they were doing many wonderful acts. : The Sanhedrian was astonished and then amazed at the wonderful works, which the apostles were doing and; the rapid growth of the new church. ! To circumvent this popularity of the cause of Christ and to prevent the growth of the church, and thus stop their influence which was robbing the . jSt'iihedrian of their power and au- J tnritv, was agitating the members, j an(1 they Pent forth officers and ar-' j rpsteu the aposties placing them in i prison, and had in mind punishing1 them in the nornincr, and would have to desth Had they . afraid of the people as the church had grown so rapidly that, the members were very numerous. An Arrel Delivers Them.

They did this. J -ing to the temple, and as soon as j there were any people to hear theyj be g?n to tell the story of Christ and 1 of His crucifixion and being raisl from the dead. t; In the morning when rian gathered to take the Srmbe-j step? about 1 whrt to do about the grow in popu- laritv of the apostles an! 1 the'r suc with the , they sent bring the cers 3'; jT was interfering authority of the Sanhedrian officers to the prison to :'!;ostie3 to the meeting' of the Sanhe drian. where they were to be tried. When tiie officer. arrived they found prison securely closed acd the guards ta:idinp: watching, but in the prison they foi-.nd no one.jjnd re turning to the place where the Sanhe riri:m was in session they reported the rltuptieii. They were surprised when they herrd this but not so much as when they received the report that th? aprt!es were preaching in the temple. The authoritis sent for and brought the apostles before the august body and charged them with disobey ing the commands of the Sanhedrian. Then Peter standing in the midst, of them said, when the matter of obey ing God end obeying the commands ef man, vh'eh conflicts with the word of God wp are going to obey the. com msnd? of Gcd. rather than of man. In the prraching of the apostles they had maintained with a positive- r.esi th.-.t the Je-. ers had crucified who were the ru'.- ! the Lord of heaven that he had risen dead, and that these this ar.d had given and earth and a c? in frora the vho A done their support and mcrr.l inllwncp in rnv wf.v against the cnusc of the Mas ter wro Hin murderers"- this cut like a knife. fr the Jews were guilty. In the meeting the Jws said to the apos tles. "We strictly charged you rot ; to torch in TI': name, and behold yeu have filed Jerusalem with your teach ings." For the growth of the early ehurch t":t,T.-d. to the truth of the , matter of their work and also told of .the belief of tho r-eople.

Christ Hiself said unto Peter, put up your sword for He that taketh thfj sword shall die by the sword, and it was true with Peter who was cru cified with his head down. Note the end of some of th2 rulers of Judea at that time. j Judas Iscarict died of his own hand the darkest death probably of anyone in the history" of the world.

When, the Sanhedrian heard the testimony of the apostles and their witnessing to the Christ whom they knew and to whom they were faithful, were cut to the heart, and notwithstanding they knew they were guilty of all things which the apostles accused them, they were minded to kill the apostles. But Gamaliel, the same who had for his student Saul of Tarsus, who' became the aposle Paul, stood up and said, put thesp people out and they were removed from the meeting of the San hedrian and after that Gamaliel said See you to ft that you do not fight against God. tor ;r this be only a ruse of man it will fall to ground- But if it be of God then you will be found fighting against Him. The assembly finally called the apostles in after they had agreed with Gamaliel, and gave them a severe beating and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. The disciples then went to the temple and continued in their preaching in their healings and in the dring of the won derful thig to be able to suffer per secution for th cau-e of the Master, and thus to do what they could f r the cause of Him who gave His life for then aid not alone for them but for all ihe world.
