er, scouting material for a maga
zine article on a trip through the

ing back like an army with banners.
Too many saloons, too much co
educational elbow-bending, too
many tangles between barleycorn
and automobiles, too much cutting
of corners to meet heavy tax and
license costs—all this, and more, is
rallying the drys for a return en

Mrs. Boole is 80 years old and
looks much less. In New York,
she addresses the luncheon of
the state W. C. T. U., commemo
rating the centenary of the birth
of Frances E. Willard, founder
of the W. C. T. U. Her firmly
set spectacles with gold bows,
her crown of abundant white
hair, the stern godliness of her
features all are as they were.
Nothing whatever has been re
pealed in Mrs. Boole’s person
or ideas.
For more than 50 years she has
been fighting alcohol. With her hus
band, the late William H. Boole,
pastor of the Willett Street Method
ist church, she waged war against
the Bowery dives, away back in the
eighties. She had come from Woos
ter, Ohio, an alumna of the Uni
versity of Wooster, where, immedi
ately after her graduation, she
had taken up her life-work for pro
hibition. From 1909 until 1919, there
was no important piece of anti-liq
uor legislation in which she did not
participate.
In 1925, she became national
president of the W. C. T. U.,
and, in 1931, world chairman.
During the prohibition years and
in the preceding years of strife,
she was the head of the com
bined prohibition board of strat
egy, shrewd, resourceful, tire
less. Fittingly, her citadel is
still a little Van Wert, Ohio,
hedge-bordered house, set down
in Brooklyn, holding its middle
western ground far in the enemy
territory. As docs Mrs. Boole,
still standing firm and unshaken

War-Time Destroyers Save Nation $150,000,000
A cross section of the navy’s far-flung preparations for war emergency is disclosed at the United States
destroyer base at San Diego, Calif., where 48 World war destroyers are being reconditioned into instant readi
ness for service. Instead of being scrapped under terms of the Washington and London naval treaties,
they were saved for the nation’s defense, thus saving the country some $150,000,000 in costs. In event of war,
crews would merely have to walk aboard, get up steam and proceed to sea, as all equipment is in good condi
tion. Torpedoes and other munitions have been kept in good condition. Right: a four-inch gun is being
mounted on the destroyer U. S. S. Mead.

PETER PREACHES AT
PENTECOST
LESSON TEXT—Acts 2:12-18, 36-41.
GOLDEN TEXT—Not by might, nor b>
power, but by my Spirit, saitli the Lord of
hosts.—Zecharlah 4:6.
We need a revival. With one ac
cord leaders of the Church agree
on that point although they may dif
fer widely on other matters. So
cial and civic leaders agree. One
prominent government official re
cently raid that the only hope for
the world in this hour of conflict
and confusion was a return to the
Christian faith of our fathers. He
was but one of many outstanding
men who have expressed such a
belief.
How may such a revival of faith
toward God (with its quickening of
the believer and the resultant sal
vation of sinners) be brought about?
Certainly it is not in the power of
man to produce it, although he does
have a vital part in surrendering
himself to God’s plan and purpose
so that He may work again in the
midst of His people. Our lesson for
today clearly indicates how God
worked on Pentecost, namely,
through a Spirit-filled people, pro
claiming His own Word, with aston
ishing results following. Will not
God work in the same way today if
we only give Him a chance?
I. An Amazing Spiritual Experi
ence (w. 12, 13).
Read the first 11 verses of this
chapter and you will learn of the
coming of the Holy Spirit upon the
disciples—as the rushing of a
mighty wind, in tongues of fire, and
in the ability to proclaim the Word
of God to all men.
There is no use talking about an
other Pentecost as though God
needs to repeat that marvelous day.
But the essence of what occurred
on Pentecost is the deep need of
both individual Christians and of the
Church today. In much (one is al
most ready to say most) of our
Christian work there is not only a
failure to recognize the Holy Spirit,
but what appears to be an actual
ignoring of Him. One of the great
experiences of literally thousands of
students who have come under the
writer’s care during the years is
their sudden understanding of the
fact that the Holy Spirit is a person
—yes, a convicting, regenerating, di
recting, and energizing member of
the divine Trinity, working in and
through man,
11. An Effective Spiritual Message
(vv. 14-18, 36. See also vv. 19-35).
The characteristics of a real gos
pel message are found here. First
of all there must be a Spirit-filled
preacher. He may be a minister or
he may be a layman, but if the
Spirit of God is upon him, there
will be the right kind of message.
That message will not be an es
say, book review, or dissertation on
social or civic problems, but an ex
position of the Word of God. Note
that Peter preached and interpreted
prophecy —a subject which no
preacher should neglect—but that
he did so not for the purpose of hav
ing a sensational sermon subject,
but in order to reveal the glories of
the person and work of Christ —a
lesson some preachers need to
learn.
The manner of preaching is also
important. Peter was definite, ear
nest, bold, and decidedly personal
in his preaching. A man who is
speaking in the energy of the flesh
should beware of such marks upon
his preaching, but a Spirit-filled man
should rejoice in the holy boldness
and assurance which the Holy Spirit
gives. He will be delivered from
any temptations to be extreme or
unkind, but will at the same time
be led to say those things which
will prick the hearts of people and
cause them to turn to Christ.
111. An Appropriate Spiritual Re
sult (vv. 37-41).
We often say that there is very lit
tle old-time conviction of sin today,
and alas, it is all too true. It is not
even the privilege of many spiritu
ally-minded preachers who present
a true gospel to see such a response
as Peter saw on Pentecost. But
that does not mean that the Spirit is
not working.
God does not hold us responsible
for outward evidence of results. He
does hold every teacher and preach
er responsible for faithful discharge
of his sacred stewardship. That in
cludes more than the public minis
try of teaching a Sunday School
class or preaching a sermon. It
means that the individual’s life is
right with God—no trickery, no dis
honesty, no double dealing with God
or man; a life yielded to the control
of the Holy Spirit. Next comes dili
gence in study of God’s Word, and
a willingness to proclaim its whole
truth without fear or favor, in sea
son and out of season.
The Living Word
Christ is the Living Word; so it is
the Word of God that has come
from God, and has come into this
world, and by which all and every
operation of God is effected. Where
the Word of God is received the
soul is begotten of God.
