TEACHING POINTS.

INTRODUCTION first missionary
which followed, is a subject of peculiar
interest. --Outline the story of Paul
and Barnabas journeying through the
robber-infested mountains from the sea
board of Pamphylia to Antioch in or
near Pisidia; their attendance at the syn
agogue; the first part of Paul's sermon,
wherein he appealed to the historic sense
of the Jews.
% V. 1851. The STORY OF JESUS.
Jesus came to his own and his own re-
innocent, yet he was hanged on ''tree. -
He was publicly taken from the tree"
and entombed God raised him from the
dead. Those who had long known him
saw him as an immortal many days; they
are now his witnesses.
(2) V. 32-3). JESUS PROMISED TO THE
Fathers. The Gospel is fulfilment of
promises made to the fathers. Paul
quotes in the freedom of the spirit pas
sages from the Psalms and Isaiah which,

more immediate application, do surely in
remarkable manner, pre-fgure Christ
THAT there is general prophecy of
Christ in the Old Testament, trend to-
ward him in all previous Hebrew history,
can no more reasonably be questioned
than we can reasonably question that
Christianity today prophecies the des-
truction of evil and is itself pledge of
the fulfilment of the prophecy.
81 V. $780, JESUS Is THE SAVIOUR
The divine intention of the Gospel is that
it shall save men from SHINING. 1t re-
mits, casts out, nulifies sin in the life, by
awakening regenerating love of God and
the Right.
Paul on Mars Hill in Athens,
speaking to the Gentiles alone, adduced
the testimony of nature and the Inner
Voice as the ground of his Gospel appeal !;
here, speaking to the Jews, he reminds
them of their national history as the basis
of his appeal.
Paul taught the entire human race
has equal inheritance in the Gospel.

Gospel story. He particularized the
scriptures which had been read in their

Then came the application. toward
which all his sermons had pointed: Be 1t
kno,on unto you. therefore brethren. that
through this man is proclaimed unto
you remission of sins Paul has no
scheme" to present. The Gospel is
simply the way out of sin.
To this point of his discourse Paul
may have proceeded without arousing
the exclusive Jews. But he would not
have been faithful to his universalist
Gospel. il he had not declared freedom
for the Gentilee. By HAM eUery one that
believeth is justified from all things.

the narrow Jews
1t may be that there we're, as
some conceive. signs of disapprobation at
this point, which caused him to proceed
with warning: Bea0are lest that come

While he refers to special prophecy.in
Habbakuk Il: 81 giving new sense to
an old declaration, the manifest danger
Of his Jewish hearers was that they
would reject Jesus as the Jews in Jeru-
salem had rejected him, and thus cut
themselves off from tho line and trend
Of Hebrew prophecy.
The effect of this striking sermon,
which even in the brief heads which we
have, impresses us as an oratorical tri-
umph. is suggested in the record. There
was general desire to hear more. Some
Jews at once accepted the new truth.

LESSON STORY.

Paul and his company did not remain
in the important city of Perga on the
seaboard. probably because the summer
heat had driven the population to the
mountains. On their return journey
they preach the Gospel in Perga (Acts
14:25).
They went one hundred and twenty
miles northward through wild noun
famous region to Antioch in Phrygia.
just beyond the northern Pisidian boun-
Diary. The region they traversed was
noted for it's brigands. there being, as
Strabo tells US. numerous powerful rob-
Der bands among the mountains. From
the general facts we assume that Pauls
statement. made years afterwards q Cor.
1925. that he had passed through
"perils of robbers" had here fulfilment.
For a little company like that of the
missionaries. unattended by martial
guard, to penetrate the robber- infested
region, required no small degree Of phys.
ical courage.
The mountain city for which they
started bore the same name as the city
in Syria that had sent them forth. The
Syrian Antioch was the chief of the six
teen Antiochs built by Seleucas; and
Pisidian Antioch was. at our lesson date,
probably the second in rank. 1t was To-
Gated In pass. on the caravan road to
the interior of Asia Minor. and on the
land route to Syria.
The Jewish synagogue in Antioch
may have been the special attraction of
the missionaries to the city. The syna-
gogue, in Roman cities. not only repre-
sented the Jewish faith; it represented.
wherever it stood, Roman liberty.
The missionaries, according to their
custom. went to the Jewish synagogue
on the Sabbath. They took their place
in the section set apart for strangers.
They participated in the prayers recited
by the minister or "angel" of the assem-
bly,. The reader stood while selections
from the Law and the Prophets were
read; the congregation was seated. Then
came the customary pause when the el-
ders OF the synagogue would invite some

and Barnabas, after landing at Perga
from Cyprus. and being deserted by
Mark, did not long remain on the sea-
board, but proceeded about 100 miles in
land and northwRrd. until they came to
the important city of Antioch in Tor
near) Pisidia. This is not to be mistaken
for the Antioch in Syria, from which the
missionaries set forth. Seleucas, we are
told, founded sixteen cities in the name
of Antiochus, his father: Antioch in Syria
was the most important; Antioch in
Phrygia. near the line of Pisidia, in Asia
Minor, the scene OF our present lesson,
appears to have been the next in impor-
lance. Paul and Barnabas went on the
Sabbath into the Jewish synagogue of
the city, and took their place among the
worshippers until the appointed reading
of the Scriptures was over. The rulers
of the synagogue. following the custom
of inviting strangers to speak to the peo-
pie, sent to ask il they had any message
to give. Paul improved the expected
opportunity. In the report of his adj
dress we have the first recorded sermon
of Paul. He follows the method Of both
Peter and Stephen in speaking first of
Christ as the fulfilment of Hebraic pro-
phecy. Passing down the stream of
Jewish history to the coming OF John
the Baptist. Paul points out that this
last and greatest Of the prophets con-
fessed himself the forerunner OF one
whose shoes he was not worthy to I'M
loose. By this introduction Paul pre-
disposed his Jewish hearers to listen to
his testimony Of Jesus. This testimony
is given in the second section Of his SER
mon, which we have for today's lesson.

A Four-Year-Old Prodigy.

A four-year-old infant prodigy was
exhibited recently before the Berlin
Anthropological Society. He is the son
Of a butcher, and at two years Of age
learned to read without assistance.
He knows the dates Of the birth and
death of all the German Emperors and
many other noted persons, and their
birthplaces, the chief cities of the
world, and all the great battles. He
can read anything in print, and can
talk intelligently about it, but finds it
hard to learn to write and draw, dis.
likes music and hates pianofortes. The
boy is physically we'll developed,
though not robust.-New York Sun.

A Suggestion For a Nurse.

When you need nurse, look about
for some country cousin, some minis
ter's daughter, some girl brought up
clean and pure and refined. Tell her
you will take her as a sister or friend
at so much a month, she to share
your cares and responsibilities as far
as she can and have a home and So
ciety within certain bounds. Make
the position as you want it. Define
its duties, privileges, bounds and
recompense then find some one to
fill it. And remember that the more
sensibly pleasant you make it the
higher the grade of person who will
fill it. You will say " Utopia" but
it can be done,

She and Julia accomplish the work

Taxing a Case Out of Court.

Judges do not interfere with the
trial of cases, as rule, though 1t is
sometimes hard work for them to re-
fraip, especially when they see a law
yer injuring his client by mismanag-
lug his case. Sometimes they help
him out in the interests of justice, but
ordinarily they allow the case to go
on. / recall an important case which
was begun before one of our courts
awhile ago. 1t was complicated with
techicalities, and a proper decision
involved a knowledge of business
methods which the ordinary juryman
was not likely to have. The trial
proceeded little while, when the
judge stopped it, called both counsel
to him and said 4: "This case can't
be properly tried here. Let me take
it fromLthe jury, and l will refer it to
three business men, who shall hear il
and decide it." Both lawyers assent
eG, and it was disposed of in that
way.-B0st0n GIobe.

FOR A SILVER BELT.
Proposed Nevada Legislation TO Honor a
Pugilist.

Not content with legalizing the con-
test for the worlds pugiIistic cham
pionship, Assemblyman Tim Dempsey
proposes to introduce bill in the
Nevada legislature within the next
few days, asking for an appropriation
of $1,000 for the purpose Of having
made a gorgeous belt of silver, with
diamond studding, to be presented to
the winner of the great battle.
The bill is being drawn up at the
present time, and it provides that the
secretary of state shall deliver the belt
on the 18th of March next, along with
a certificate and affidavit, notifying
the world of the significance of the
trophy. 1t is intended to have on
the belt a reproduction Of the official
seal of Nevada and facsimile Of the
signature of Governor Sadler to the
approval of the measure.
1t is claimed that majority of the
members of the legislature have signi-
fed their willingness to vote for the
bill and that Governor Sadlsr has al
ready given his consent to sign the
act if it passes.
The governor will not admit this to
outsiders, giving as an explanation
that he never signs bill of any kind
until he has seen and read it thor
oughly. But he says he approves of
the idea of a Navada championship
