Stone Walls ITot a Prison What was stronger at the time of the establishment "of the early church than the prejudice of the old asetic Jews, who lived on being straight laced and formal in their actions. They were ethical, if nothing else. Notwithstanding they had lost their pol'tical and national power and were under service to the Roman em pire, they still held the idea that it was sacrilege to associate with other nations, and especially the "heath en," as they called the gentiles. Because Christ had come and es tablished a new order of things and a new church which contained broth erhood of man and Fatherhood of God, they were of the old line of til church of the Jews, which was ruled by the Fanhodrin, mindful to exter- iminate the church as they had eruci jfied the Master. But the church was born for the ages, and with a mi-s-ii)n for the carrying of the gospel to the ends of the earth, ami no per secution however strong could in any way stop or destroy the work which it! Master had left for the disciples . to accomplish the firm establishment of the church, which all ages shall; see grow stronger until "Bike a sea j of glory it spreads from pole to pole.'" As the c hurch grew stronger. th6 ; '. persecution was made more bitter by! the Jews who fancied it was interfer- ling 'with their practices, which had j with the years grown farther and i fa r f h or a'.rav from the natli in which tv,n 1, ,j imon n.io,! i,- ih.ivot, for the Jewish church had been com - I I'irri i:ili7nl nnd m:i(ifi a nnlitir nl ma-iCr a chine and had lost much of its pow- reason of its delinquencies. Be of the failure of the Jewish ! ca : ohur.-h as conducted to fulfil its des- j tiny, was it necessary, lor a new or der of things which was brought about with the coming of t lie Mas ter. The more the church succeeded e more the sanhedrian was exas- iperated and the mow they made it hitter for thn rnrlv rhnr.-h Tho siir - i t ft: of thp fliiirr-Vr waa n hard hint-. j for the sanhedrian, but when Peter iv.ent to ( eserea and there preacaed I to the gentiles, the wrath of the san l,edrian was without bounds.

Peter was arrested and placed in prison and was to b killed after the days of unleavened broa 1. He was being kept in prison and so urcent it was thought by the sanhedrian that his death was necessary, they placed on guard four Quaternions cf soldiers as guards. In the olden day-; as well as now. those who seek evil were every ready to use what force they thought necessary to accomp lish, their ends whether they thought it right or not. Feter Released from Prison Only waiting until after Easter to put their evil designs into effect. Peter was doubly guarded, and as he slept in prison the others of the mem bers of the church were praying with more or less faith, as was also Peter. ana in tne nignt an .ngei appeared usually pleasing musical selections to Peter in the prison, and a licht ! that were offered by various members shone about Peter, and he hrrdly j Df the party.

Think of the surprise of refer as the angel smote him on the side and said unto him. "Arise up quickly." As he did so, his chains fell off. Peter had removed his sandels and his outer garments which were his toga and his cloak. These he was commanded by the angel to put on, and when he had done so, the soldiers were still sleeping. Led by the angel, Peter parsed out of the cell and into the outer portion of the prison. "When they came to the large iron gate which led towards the city, the gate opened of its own accord, not withstanding it was securely locked and the two passed out into the streets of Jerusalem. After they had gone so little distance, the angel dis- appeared and Peter was assured that ne Had been delivered from the pris- Neva Lancaster. Bessie Royer, Flor on by an angel sent from God.

How ever, she persisted in her declaration that Peter was really there. As he continued to knock for admittance, they went and found that what the girl had said was true, and at once admitted him. They were overjoyed and amazed when they knew he had escaped from prison, wondering how it could be possible. Peter, holding up his hand as a signal for them to be silent, then told them how the angel had delivered him from prison, and their faith in the prayers which they had been uttering were strengthened. Verily the earnest prayer of the right eous availeth much. That a great deliverance had been given to i Predated Ifeit the Peter by his release, he ap and would not lightly for- great blessing and after he had consulted with the members, he departed and went to another place, where the: grasping fingers of the sanhedrian and Herod could not get him in their power. So again it was demonstrated. Who can be against us when God is for us. In order to curry favor with the Jews, who were not any too friendly !to the Roman king, Herod had plan j ned to kill Peter, and when he was ; found to have escaped, Herod had the jtwo soldiers who had direct charge of him killed instead. It may be Uhat this act wore on Herod's mind, i for he immediately left Jerusalem and went to Ces-rea, where he had a 'great feast and made a great oration in which he claimed almost super j natural powers and was declared by" some to be a god. which Herod, like the kaiser, modestly admitted, and for i tli is display of arrogance was smit ,ten with a grievous disease and died ! in great agony about five days after ward. Many people pray and when they do, are sure that their prayer will r.ot be answered. The first essential of prayer is full and abiding faith that the Father w;ill give you the good things which you ask or even (better when they are for the bet terment of the one v. no asks tnem or for the one for whom they are asked by another, and for the good of the world and mankind generally. Prayer should bp resorted to when man has done all he can and has ex hausted his strength, then at man's extremity comes God's opportunity, and man is blessed with a favorable answer to the prayer which he has come to the throne of grace with. God has said, "Pray without ceas- ! i ii !r : and in everything give thanks." i 1' Wt think when we ich the Master pray the pray has taught us VI; all oi wnien is ine meist mimiuw- ful petition ever uttered, and especially- that portion which says, "For- i give us our trespasses as we forgive (those that trespass against us."

The little town of Murray is griev ing this morning amid the ruins of one of the principal business sections of that city, which was fire swept this morning with a loss of $35,000. the fire gutting half of the business section of the town before it was checked and in the ffce of the fact that there was no pressure water system, the fire raged through the block of business houses with un checked fury. The business houses that were swept out of existence were the Nel son hardware store, the Earl Lancas ter store, and the community hall on the second floor of the two-story brick building that was occupied by the two store". The frame building occupied by the postofiice and meat market and occupied by W. S. Smith, postmaster, as well as the frame building of B. A. Hoot, occupied by the Osar Nailor soft drink parlor and the heme of B. A. Root, owner of the building, were all swept away in the toll of tiie fire. The fire was first discovered at 1 o'clock when Dr. G. II. Cilmore was called from his home by a mes sage to go to T"'cn to see patient and as he came out on the strct, he discovered the fire and a few moments later liarve Gregg was also aroused by the lire and started the alarrr.. Dr. Giir.iore aroused Mr. Nelson, the owii'-r of the hardware store, while others in the vicinity were being aroused by the dreaded cry of "fire." When Mr. Nelson reached the build ing in company with Ben Noell. the whole rear of the grocery and hard ware store was ablaze and dtre clouds of smoke made it impossible to enter the stores from the rear. The residents of the town being aroused, the front doors of the two stores were opened and a great deal of the stock of th? hardware store that w?s near the front of the f tore was taken out and carried across the street, mu h of it however, being smoked and Frerehed, and very little of the Lancrster stock was saved. As the f.ro raged the upper part of the building occupied as the com munity hall and where the dances and other gatherings are held, burst into flames and the whole structure was soon a roaring ma -s of flame that there was no checking. With the large building ablaze, the sparks rained on the frame build in to the east and soon the post office building that is also occupied by a small meat market, was afire, and desperate efforts to save some small part ef the stock as well as that of the Oscar Nailor soft drink parlor next door, which was the next building to catch fire and which ad joins the residence of B. A. Root, a pioneer resident of the town and all of these were soon a great roaring furnace and it was utterly impos sible to save any of the structures. n 9 ecy Lfavis Has Observa tions on Needs Thinks Plattsmouth Made Ciarars the Best cn the Market and Urges Home Industry Support. "Why is a tat?" should be as popular a eomindrum as "How old is a flapper?" All my life have en joyed a cat as selfish and disinter ested as a cat is. But this spring watching the little stupid bat-eyed baby robins, chasing their distracted parents around the yards for a worm only to be gobbled up by eats is heart-breaking.

Please, ycu reader for gentle reader, as Cooper always said) remember this column is merely a personal effort to secure an expres sion for or against certain tilings about which people complain, or to give publicity to the suggestions they make, and the matter discussed in the "stop" sign remarks was not an opinion of the Chamber of Com merce.

The fire destroyed nearby tele phone lines, cutting off ciimmunha tion with the Plattsmouth exchange and making necessary the sending f a messenger by auto to this city, who arrived here at a few minutes a!t r 5 o'clock this morning. The Platts mouth fire department, with their truck and chemical tanks ha-tem 1 to Murray, but in the face of the grc t headway that was gained, there wa-. no chance of saving any of the buib' ings, but the chemicals were used in portccting the buildings to the ninth and tiie W. 3. Smith residence just east of the burned area,, from bavin ; the fire spread into them. One of the dangers of th" fro fighters was from the high tension lectric lines that were located in the burned area and with the poles carrying these lines ablaze, the word was sent to have the current cut off, which was don-e. permitting the fire fighters to carry on their work of saving what was possible. The cause of the fire ii unknown, it was stated this morning and tie; trreat progress that the flames bad made when discovered, made it im possible to fully ascertain just bow the fire originated. At S o'clock there were still flames burning in the ruins and tb bare brhk walls of the Peterson building leaned, iji dangrcous shape, whicii will make necessary the blowing up of. the walls to prevent their falling and injuring the pasersby, as they menace the main street of the town., The losses as hurriedly estimated by the owners who were present, in cluded f 12.000 on the Ncl.-'n sto.k; IG.000 on the Iancaster store; ?!. 0i0 on the Root building and prob-r-hly ?1,00 on the stock ami fixture of Mr. Nailor. The full estimate cannot be made until the owners can check up on their losses. The large brick building was own ed by Paul Peterson, of Omaha, while, the postofiice and inert marke t build ing was the property of Mrs. William McBaniel and Mr. B. A. Root was the owner of the other burned building.

It was with the real spirit of neighhor liness that the friends gathered to help their stricken friends and those who had been made homeless wer ofr'ered shelter and food at the homes of their friends, as they realized the great loss that the fire had brought, rot only to the immediate sufferers, but to th.e whole community. pression from the boys and their par ents in a Junior Chamber of Com merce.
