A socialistic Colony in Tenness e.

Among the various socialistic colonies
in this country, says the Brooklyn Cit.-
zen, there is one in Tennessee. started
by former socialietic editor whose nan
is Wayland, who gave his paper and all
that he had to the undertaking. The
colony has been in existence three years
and claims to be prospecting. 1t con-
tains seventy four families and total
population of 2l3. 1t has increased it's
wealth from $500 per family, the amount
at first contributed, to $4,000, or about
1,0s0 per family. Persons are admitted
to the colony only by careful selection,
and the rule is that they are to receive
support only so long as they work hon.
estly and faithfully. They may work at
their trade if there is demand for the
product. but must work at something
else il there is no such demand. Taxes
are paid by the community, medical at
tendance is free, and public laundry
does the community's washing. The
currency of the colony consists of labor
checks, which are received at the COM
mon store as money; the community
pays the wife the same as the husband,
the children receive checks for school
attendance, and an old-age pension is
promised to each of it's nom bers, though
as yet there has been no demand for the
fulfillment of this promise.

it and found it so charged with zest that
we were tasting hearts blood. A pale
man, weary and nervous, crept home at

Perhaps the most popular book of
the second century of the church was
by Hermas. possibly the Hermas men,
toned by Paul. He was the Bunyan of
the early church.
In one of his visions he saw tower

struction of various sizes. shapes and
degrees of finish. They were explained
to him by the lady who showed him the
vision. The square white stones we're

drawn from the depths of the waters

those which needed no polishing were
the men who had walked ever in the
straight path; those which. though re-

were those who wished to repent; those
cast far away we're sons of iniquity;
those which had rents were men at die
cord with each other.
At last Hermas pointed to some beau
tiful white, round stones, asking: when
can these be useful for the building?'
And the Sibyl answered: "These are
rich men and they can never be used

LESSON PREVIEW.-At the end of
Paul's winter sojourn at Corinth he
planned to sail for Jerusalem but the dis
covery of plot to kill him led him to go
by land through Macedonia. His errand
was to bear the collection for the Jerusa-
lem church which had been gathered from
the Gentle churches. He wished to ar
rive in Jerusalem before Pentecost, which
occurred that year May II. He was ac-
companied on his journey by seven breth-
and serving as body guard At Phil
ippi, on this journey, Paul was joined by
Luke, the author of the Book of Acts,
who had probably remained in that city
during the six years succeeding Pauls
first visit On coming to Troas the third
time, after stay of seven days, on the
eve of his departure, Paul preached to
the believers nearly all night, and during
the long discourse a young man named
Eutychus was overcome with sleep and
fell from an upper window to the ground
and was restored by Paul from apparent
death. The journey was continued by
stages until Miletus was reached. Paul
purposely sailed by Ephesus; but there
being for some reason delay at Miletus,
he sent deputation twenty-eight miles
northward to he.church at Ephesus, sum-
moning the elders, or chief men, to his
presence. On separating from these breth-
rem he spoke the farewell words which we
have for our lesson. He began with a re-
view of his three years work among them
declaring that, in tears and dangers, pub
licly and from house to house, he had
preached repentance toward God and faith
toward the Lord Jesus Christ. Our les
son-p passage is the continuance of his
address
