TEACHING POINTS.

l. PAUL guided by the Invisible Christ,
knowing that Christ directs him, now
thwarting his own plans, now shutting,
now opening doors before him, -exempli-
fies the method of the leadership of Christ.
2. 'CoME OVER and help us'' is the call
made to Christians in those days; not
often the proffer of spontaneous hospital
ity, but the expression of spiritual need
which the Christian knows exists in every
human soul. The call made upon all mis-
sionaries, Sunday school teachers espec-
tally, is to awaken the spiritually indiff-
erent, to set the heart hungering after
righteousness; in short, to transmute lat
ent needs into conscious wants.
3. A GOOD example the missionaries
gave when, on the Sabbath, they sought
what they supposed to be place of pray
er. Whether or not they found what they
sought, their act, as the expression of a
habit, is one we can proftably initiate.
We should devote the holy day to it's high
est uses.
f. WHEN PAUL and his three compan-
ions found only a small assembly, and not
a man in it, it would have been natural, II
they had been like some preachers, for
them to despise such congregation. But
the missionaries preached faithfully; they
held earnest conversation with individ-

INTRODUCTION.

A new religion invading conti-
nent! We pause before the majestic
fact. Light comes from the east and
shines to the west; SO shall be the COM
ing OF the Son of Man. The Gospel lie
on it's way to the continents and the
isles of the sea. This light, like that of
the sun. must yet encircle the globe. AS
we behold the Gospel going from Asia
across the Egean Sea into Europe, in
vading the West, we do we'll to pause
and marvel at the prophetic significance
of the event itself. 1t marks the be-
ginning of the moral Transformation OF
a continent. 1t is the seed OF western
civilization. "In it's issues" says Stalk
or, 1T far outrivals the expedition OF
Alexander the Great when he carried
the arms and civilization of Greece into
the heart Of Asia. or that of Caesar when
he lanced on the shores of Britain, or
even the voyage of Columbus when he
discovered new world. Our les
son date, we cannot forget, is the an
niversary of the declaration of Ameri-
can independence. The MAN, casting
off the yoke of kings. took possession of
a continent. 1t enlarges and sanctifies
our patriotism to be reminded that even
this momentous occurrence, the birth OF
America. is natural sequence of Paul's
invasion of Europe with the religion of
the Son OF MAN.

THE LESSON STORY.

Paul and BarnabaS, returning
from Jerusalem, remained some months
with the prosperous church at Antioch.
But Paul could not forget that his mis-
sion was not to be fulfilled by peace
full pastorate with friendly church.
He was the divinely commissioned
apostle to the Gentiles. He proposed
to Barnabas: Let as return noaC and
visit the brethren in every city and see
hoiU they fare. To no holiday journey
was Barnabas thus invited. Their for.
mer journey of two and half years had
beep continual struggle against diff
cuIties, continual battle against stub
born enemies. But Barnabas was not
a man to shrink from suffering or death
in his Masters cause. He responded to
Paul's invitation with ready assent.
Then arose memorable disagreement
between Paul and Barnabas. Barnabas
wished to take as their companion John
Mark, his kinsman. Paul objected.
He had reason for his objection. This
John Mark had started with them on
their first missionary journey; at Perga
in Pamphylia, when he was needed
most, he lost heart and retreated to
Jerusalem Paul felt that the religion
of his Master was on trial for the ages.
He believed that missionary should
be-as Mark had not been-of heroic
stuff. Paul did not wish to crown
coward. He was an admirer and imita-
tor of the Roman military methods. BY
his personal standard he was right in
his objection to Mark. Yet Barnabas
had the better cause. He knew John
Mark. He believed in his latent hero
ism. None so brave as a coward
aroused" The fact that Mark desired
to make another trial of himself, after
having once failed, was proof of his deep
repentance. Barnabas had years before
exercised discerning eye when he bad
summoned Paul in Tarsus to be his fell
low. worker in Antioch. No doubt there
we're many then to sneer at his choice;
but he discerned the real Paul. So now
he saw the real Mark. While we can
scarcely see how Paul could have done
other than he did. we cannot regret that
Barnabas exercised the charitable conf
dence toward Mark which helped the
former turn-coat to be in after years the
brave Christian Paul himself was glad
to honor.
The separation of Paul and Barnabas
resulted in two missionary enterprises.
instead of one. going out from Antioch.
There was, we assume, an amicable
division OF territory made between the
apostles, whose paths now diverged.
To Barnabas. with John Mark, it was
given to start on the same route he had
before travelled with Paul. We have no
further record of the journey of Barna-
bas and Mark.
Paul, choosing for his companion
SiIas,-one of the brethren commits
stoned by the church in Jerusalem to
be witness of the decree of liberty to
the Gentiles,-started by land through
Syria and Cilicia. The farthest point
he had with Barnabas reached on their
first journey, Derbe, would be the first
familiar ground he would reach in his
present journey.

THE REFUNDING BONDS.
The Attorney General VIII Only APP
prove the Last Issue, Be
ing S24O.OOO.

The county commissioners took up
the bond matter this morning with
reference to the refunding of the
courthouse and Jail bonds, amounting
to 500, 45O, according to an order
passed by the court on May II, 1897.
A letter from E. p. Hill, of the at
torney generals Office, received by
County Clerk Smith, was read, show
ing .'that the only issue of bonds
which can be refunded is the last is
sue of courthouse bonds issued on the
Sth day of February, 1892, and if
bonds for that purpose are properly
prepared they will be approved by
this department. 1t may be-" the let
ter continues, that some of the other
bonds can be refunded later on, but
if the court adheres to its decision
made some time ago the issue of Feb
ruary s, 1892, is the only one that can
be refunded. l have given this mat
teE very Sdiclui ihhSShSdtlou, anu
while the order of court provides for
the refunding of $292, 450, we have
concluded that we can separate the is
sue, which is legal from those that
cannot be refunded. The recitations
in the bonds, however, must only re-
fer to the issue of February s, 1892,
which is authorized to be refunded.
in explanation of why some of
these bonds which were formerly ap.
proved by this department, l desire
to say that at the time of the former
approval the decision in the case of
Smith VS.. Howard, which holds that
the contract to be the creation Of the
debt, had not been rendered. 1t had
been the former ruling of this depart
ment, which seems TO have been the
general idea the profession throughout
the state, that when sufficient provis-
ion for interest and sinking fund had
been made in the order of court il
answered the demands, of the law.
Since the former submission of your
bonds the decision in the Smith VS..
Howard case has been announced.
and while motion for rehearing has
been filed and is now pending until
the court modifes or changes its ruling
we are compelled to follow that decis-
ion. l have conferred and consulted
with Mr.. Fuller in my investigation
of this matter, and he concurs in this
opinion"
The bonds issued February s, 1892,
which can be refunded, amount to
$4,000, and the court ordered this
morning that they be Autographed.

Marshalltown, Ia, Aug. ( 20.-A
large meeting in this city, which mark
ed the opening of the Democratic cam
paign in Iowa, was addressed by ex-
Gov. Boies. The ex-governor in part
said:
$40 no man living do l concede
stronger desire to see this country re-
turn to the equal, unlimited use Of
both gold and silver in its financial
system than / possess. To my mind
the best hope of this nation depends
upon the accomplishment of that end.
l firmly believe the use of gold alone
as redemption money by the people
of the United States will divide them
as the people of England are already
divided, the very rich and the very
poor, and / do, not believe a republic
can live under such a condition of So
ciety.
Under the circumstances as they
now exist, with silver demonetized by
the great commercial countries of the
globe, with the frightful chasm that
separates the commercial values of
the metals constantly widening and in
the light OF our own recent national
election l cannot bring my mind to
believe that the free coinage of sill
yer at the ratio of 16 to / with gold
is within the reach of its friends, nor
help the fear that it would not be
miserable even if attainable.
Il believe from what now is mat
ter of notoriety everywhere that the
fear Of this is so deeply grounded in
the public mind that unyielded adher-
ence to that one ratio by those who be-
lieve themselves the real friends of
silver will permanently destroy the
cause they would promote and fasten
upon the people of this nation per-
petual gold standard, calamity
greater in my judgment, than war,
pestilence, or famine and 1 cannot
consent to share any part of the re-
spoisibiiity for such catastrophe.
"All l have ever heard or read, or
thought, no plan under present cir
cumstances had seemed so feasible to
me for the restoration of silver to it's
rightful plane as redemption money
as one substantially like that recon-
mended by Mr.. Window in 1889.
Stated in his own language his propo-
sition was this: Issue treasury notes
against silver bullion at the market
price of silver when deposited, pay
able on demand in such quantities Of
silver bullion as will equal in value
at the date of presentation the num-
Der of dollars expressed on the face
of the notes at the market value of
silver or in gold at the option of the
government, or in silver dollars, at the
option of the holder"

A VOID ICED.
IT CAUSES LITIGATION FOR A
STRIP OF LAND.
After Nearly Fifty Years the Heirs Of An
Estate Seek to Recover Properties o.
cupied By Present holders for Years

Since the heirs of the Daughtrey es-
tate have brought suit in the Forty
fifth District court for the recovery
of certain strip of land there has
been an air of Indignation manifested
among the present holders Of the
property, who are made defendants
in the litigation. A suit is being filed
every day for the recovery Of certain
lots in the strip, as well as for dam
ages and also for rents and profits de-
rived from same. The defendants
have occupied the land for many
years.

called on Gen. ]. III. McLeary, who is
one of the attorneys for the Daughtrey
estate, and in compliance with re-
quest for statement for public infor-
nation, Gen. McLeary said:

IvY's PRACTICE.
Very Exciting Bowling Contest On
Mission Alley Last Night.


Mission Alley Last Night.
The Ivy Social club held their regu-
lar weekly practice bowl at Mission
garden last night. The teams were
captained by Messrs. Henry Wosnig
and j. j. Rhefner, and the games were
exciting throughout, the first and sec
ond being won by Wosnig's team on
ly by one and three pins respectively,
the last being tie which was won
by Rheiners team on the deciding
bowl. The scores were all very high,an
being so close, made it an interesting
and enjoyable evening for those who
attended, which were about couple.
Next Thursday their monthly medal
bowl takes place, and a really more
exciting contest is looked for-on the
ladies side-as Mrs. j. j. Rheiner, who
now is the holder of the ladies' medal,
has won it two successive times, and
if she is fortunate enough to win it
the third time, next Thursday, the
medal will become her permanent
property. Consequently the ladies
will all work hard to wrest it from
her.
Mr.. Louis Huermann is the holder
of the gents medal for the first time.
and as "Red' is no novice at the
game, he will give them hard tussIe
for the possession of the medal the
second time.
