"T he Indians probably found tho Immigrants camped ut the springs und waited for a good chance to attack them. When th e latter got out from under cover and on the pluius the Indians sped down on them unuw ares and wiped out the entire group. “Nothing was left undone. They murdered and undressed th eir victims, took tlielr valuables, cut their th ro ats and stom achs open, sculped them, and left their bodies on the open prairies, The wagons were burned w here they stood, and th eir positions showed th a t little fight hud been made, for If they had Hie wngons would have been cor- railed. Ashes, the dead bodies of 3d men, women aud children, three dead mules, and one dead horse, and a few scattering feath ers from m attresses, were all we found. The num ber of hoof p rin ts showed that the tribe of Indians hud been a large one. “The story of the burial of the dead Is alm ost too awful to tell. We a r ­ rived probably ten days a fte r the m as­ sacre had taken place. Graves were dug by the sides of the deud about two und one half feet deep. One man would ilu th e digging while another would hold up a shovel of burning ta r nenr him to kill the odor. When one man got tired digging he ex­ changed places with the la r burner. It took us two days to bury them." With th is grewsome task accom­ plished. Hie rangers doubled hack to Big Spring, near which were the Kil­ patrick und Coffee ranches.

When and w here given (v. 10). It was shortly before the ascension In a m ountain In Galilee where the disciples met Jesus according to ap­ pointment. 2. The foundation upon which the commission rests (vv. 17, IS). In order to prepare the disciples to receive this commission, C hrist de­ clared to them th a t all power In heaven and lu earth was given unto Hirn. Before the disclplee would en­ te r upon the execution of this com­ mission they must be convinced of His Lordship. To create doubt In the minds of believers us to the deity of Jesus C hrist Is to cut the nerve of missionary endeavor. 3. W hat the commission Is (vv. ID, 20). I. “Go—teach all nations” (v. 19). This means make disciples of all the nations, not Jew s merely. (2) “Baptize them In the name of ■ the T riune God" (v. 19). Those who have become disciples of ! ! the Lord should receive the rite which signifies their relation to him. j (3) "Teach them to observe all C hrist's com m andm ents'' (v. 20). i Those who have become C hrist’s j ' disciples should he taught obedience ( to sll His commandments. j 4.

The inclination of Paul and his companions was to ta rry In Asia I Minor preaching the Word, but con­ trary to their Inclination they were hurried alung. We have here a fine lesson on divine guidance. The Holy Spirit Is Just as active and faithful In closing doors as in opening them. “The stops as well as the steps of good men are ordered of the Lord.” We ought as truly to recognize God's hand In the “shut-ins" as In the “open-outs." III. The Call to Macedonia (Acts 1(T»-12). The, gospel having broken the con­ fines of the Jew ish city and country, tlie middle wall of partition having been abolished, the tim e has come for It to leap across the Aegean sea and begin Its conquest on another conti­ nent. 1. The vision (v. 9). Being hemmed In on all sides, a vision was given to Paul of a man of M acedonia pleading for help. This made plain to him the closed doors about him. In finding the divine will, we should look both ways. 2. The advance (vv. 10-12). As soon as th e divine way was known they moved forward therein. IV. Ths First Convert in Europs (vv. 13-15). T he devout people were accustomed to worship hy the riverside. To Hila humble gathering Paul came and preached to the women assembled there. A certain woman from Thva tlra named Lydia, a proselyte, be­ lieved his message and was baptized. The steps In Lydia's conversion are w orthy of note for they are ty p lcn l: 1. A ttendance at the place of w or­ ship (v. 13). Usually those whom God I* calling are found at the place of prayer. 2. Listening to the preaching of the Word of God (vv. 13, 14). The Instrum ent used In the conver­ sion of sinners Is the Word of God (Rom. 10:17). 3.
