Chr,stidH Di,gsE-r.

Paul soon learned ,hst the Thsssa.
lonisn Christians did not heed what he
bad written them, a. they should. This
led him 10 write a second letter from
Corinth: full Of afFectionate interest
and instruction in gospel truth. But it
also contained some sharp command.
These last bad particular reference to
those restless persons who had stopped
working, and not only burdened Others,
but were meddlesome busybodies lie
plAinly told them that industry il a
duty that every man who can is bound
to earn his own bread and that lazy
meddler in other peoples affairs is no
good Christian. nor should he be treated
as such. Nevertheless he would have
us kind and patient with all. In this
lesson We had that grand rule, applics-
ble specially to work in the spiritual
vineyard, "Bc not weary in we'll doing"
a good motto with which to start a
new quarter Of study and Christian
service.

ond lesson was
Hearing and Dong.

THIS was in the general Epistle, sd.
iressed by James, the son of Alpheus,
to Christian Jews wherever they might
he scattered abroad. The main point Of
the lesson was that the word OF truth is
one of Gods good and perfect gifts to
men; but that it is not enough to be
hearers of this word. We are also to be
doers of it. The forgetful hearer de.
rives from it no abiding benefit.

From Philippi, Paul and Slas went
on down to Thessalonica, and thence to
Berea. There were some converts at
the first of these two places, but more
ut the second. We ell remember the
praise which was bestowed on the Jews
at the latter place. "These were more
noble than those at Thessalonica :" and
we should not forget in what the noble.
ness was said TO consist. The reader
should turn to the chapter and verse
(Acts II: II y and fix the words in mind.
Our ninth lesson was
Paul al Athens.
This was famous city, the intollec.
tual capital then of the whole world.
But it was proud Of it's culture, and full
of idolatry and when Paul spoke Of a
day OF judgment, and told how Christ
had been raised from the dead, they
would not listen longer. Some Knocked,
some put him off and promised to hear
him again, but few believed. How
much was this like what we often see !
There are these same three classes in
most places the Knockers, the procrasti-
ma ors, and those who hear and heed
and are saved.
Our tenth lesson was
Paul at Cori,tfh.
This was great commercial city,
prosperous, full Of trad rs from all parts
of the world. But il was also very
wicked. Nevertheless Paul bad come
success there, showing that bad places
sre never hopeless. 1t vas there that
Paul found Aquila and Priscilla, tent.
mAk.rs like himself: and there that the
Jews so opposed him that he turned to
the Geptiles and there that Gallo,
brother Of the famous philosopher
Seneca, helped him 10y driving those
who accused him, from the judgment
seat. lie stayed long time, year and
q half, at Corinth.
Our eleventh lesson was
The Coming Of The Lord.
This was a part of Paul's frat Enc Q
To the converts he had gathered at
Thessslonica. II was written from Co
rinth. The occasion of the letter va
some things he he'd heard of what wal
trsnspiring there. Some thought Christ
was coming at once, and so left oft work
Others were troubled for their friends
who might die before Christ should
| come. Their fear was that these friend.
would miss the glory and blessing OF
! that coming. Paul's words were full oi
comfort and Of admonition. He told
them that their friends, who might die,
would certainly appear with Christ
when he should come that they should
not trouble themselves about the time
or season Of his appearance aud that
their main duty was to watch and ba
sober always full Of faith, love and
hope.
Our twelfth lesson was

Paul soon learned that the Thessa.
lonisn Christians did not heed what he

was the awakening, followed by the con.
version of the iailer. Paurs answer to
his eager inquiry; "Sirs, what shall |
do to be saved" all children and youth
should remember. Ii tells us how sim.
pie, b. one really in earnest, the way of
salvation il.

Another Great General with an
Itching Palm.

We may take it for granted that
the days of permanent pensions
have nearly gone by. 1t may be
questioned whether even the scr
vices of the Duke of Marlborough
called for the perpetual endow-
ment of all his posterity. Marlbo-
rough was one Of the greatest
men of his time, but he was also
one of the most fortunate. Dur
ing a great part of his career he
was stuffed with salaries and ap.
pointmcnts. avarice ever could
be satiated, his avarice might have
been. We do not speak Of the
pension or of Blenheim; Blenheim
indeed was in o certain sense q
sort of white elephant. Marlbor'
ough did not receive from the
gift the estate as II is now known.
He got the place and a certain ra'
ther inadequate extent of ground,
inadequate, that Is, to the splen
dor Of the house; and he had to
add to ii. He had to spend large
sums Of fmoney in providing a prop
er setting for his splendid jewel
But his appointments of various
kinds during his active career
were liberal, lavish, and prodiga'
in their scale ofpayment. He wal
able to add money to money. The
South Sea Bubble, by which hi'
son.in-law, Sunderland, lost mon
ey, and at the same time lost char
acter, credit and Office; the South
Sea Bubble, in which Pope los'
half his savings, by which thou
sands and thousands Of persons
were ruined, brought new gain t.
Marlborough. He and his wife
bought shares largely, and sole
them discreetly. Marlborough
