The International Sunday school les
son for Feb. s is found in Acts xviii,
iii. The golden text is 1. Corinthians,
iii, II. The time is A. d. 81. and the
scene of the lesson is at Corinth. The
distance from Athens to Corinth by
water is about forty miles, and the
voyage can be made with a fair wind
in four or five hours. "Corinth," says
Prof. Bosworth, was a great
cial city, midway between Rome and
Ephesus. It's life was characterized
by a combination Of commercial greed,
superficial but conceited culture and
fragrant s~ensuality, which made it by
far the most difficult field which Paul
had yet entered" "Aquila, lately come
from Italy!" 1t is possible that Aquila
and his wife were believers before
Paul knew them. The edict thu had
banished the Jews, and with them
Aquila and Priscilla, was owing to GER
tain disturbances said to have been
due to the action Of ChrestuS"-a
common form of Christus, Christ
whom the historian, in his ignorance
of Christianity, supposed to be the liv-
ing leaders of the "Chrestians."
Both men were tentmakers. During
most of Paul's missionary life he work
ed for his living. He always main

for him to receive his living from those
for whom he was spending his life,
but he Shrank from being a burden to
anyone, and preferred to earn his own
way. The rabbinic laws required every
Jew to teach his son some trade. AS
Paul began his work among the
Jews.
Constrained by the word: Ramsay
translates this, was wholly absorbed
IN preaching" Jesus, the Christ: Or
the Messiah" Think how CALLING an
assertion hat woulds be to the Jews
who had killed Jesus. Blasphemed:
Uttered bitter and abusive language,
probably against Jesus, denouncing
Him as an impostor. He shook out His
ra1ment: The act was symbolical of
shaking off all responsibility for them.
The opposition to Paul and his work
was especially bitter here, partly be-
cause Of his success in winning such
prominent men as Crispus, and he had
need enough of the encouragement that
God sent him.. 1t was the anne that
had upheld Moses and Joshua and
Elijah, "Be not afraid for l
am with thee" This is one of the few
occasions in PauPs life when his impla-
cable enemies, the Jews, were beaten
at their own game. Paul remained a
| year and a half at Corinth, preaching
and teaching the gospel.
IN HIS STEPS.
What suggested to you the writing
of In His Steps?'" was asked Rev.
Charles M. Sheldon, the Kansas
preacher and author. He replied:
when I went to my parish I found
myself in a sparsely settled district,
and 1 found, too, that 1 didn't know
enough to preach two sermonsEon"Sun-
day. Moreover, 1 found that the young
people would come out to hear a story,

DUB COAL SUPPLY

t. K. Adams, a mine inspector of Mer-
Ger county. Pa. says hat the last lump of
coal will be mined in the United States in
the year 2053. He said there is about
enough coal in the United States to last
200 years at the present rate of con-
sumption, but points out that the demand
doubles every sixteen years, and should
the ratio be continued the coal will be
exhausted in the next $50 years.

PRAISE FOR CUBA.
Island is Prosperous and the Govern
ment Successful.

ment Successful.
The Denver Republican prints an in
teresting interview with James w.
Fairview. Californian who has spent
the last two years in Cuba, where he
owns several sugar plantations. Mr.
Fairview said:
"If Cuba is ever annexed to the
United States, and l think the island
will be in the course of few years,
1t will not be due to the failure OF the
Cuban government, but because Amer
leans control the island.
"In the matter OF self-government
the Cubans have made great success,
likewise from the standpoint Of fnan-
ces. In matters sanitary. they are all
right-in fact they have made a sue
cess of every form of government"
continued the speaker. Considering the
conditions at the outbreak Of the
Spanish War-nothing short of slav-
ery-they have made greater strides
since than many southern states did
In the twenty years after the Civil
War. and In saying that l do not cast
any reflections on our southern states.
To-day the Cubans are freer from
poverty and squalor than are many
sections of the South. and as for the
race question, why. 1t is comparative
ly unknown. The Spaniards and Gu
bans mingle as though they were Of one
flesh and blood.
But with all this progress. the con-
troll of the island is now practically in
the hands of the Americans. The steam
railroads, the electric lines, the tobac-
co and sugar plantations, the fruit
farms-are all owned by Americans.
Many of the latter are also establish
ing great stock farms and cattle ranges
for which considerable portion OF the
island is peculiarly adapted. 1t Is only
question of time before the island
will become part of the United
States. and the sooner it happens the
better"

The Teacher Won,

Hinton. KY, Nov. 2.-For over two
years two Of the best physicians in
this part OF the State have been treat
ing Mr.. E. J. Thompson, popular
local school teacher, for Diabetes.
They told him that but little could be
done to help him. He made up his
mind to try a new remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and says:
They saved me when the doctors
held out no hope. l took in all about
ten boxes. I will always praise Dodd' g
Kidney Pills for the great good they
have done for me-"
Many people. and some physicians,
still persist in the belief that Diabetes
is an incurable disease. Our teacher,
Mr.. Thompson, says it is durable, for
Dodds Kidney Pills cured him after
two good physicians had treated him
tor two years without success.
A remedy that will cure Diabetes
will surely cure any case Of Kidney
Trouble.

Mountain of Alum in China.

In China, about twelve miles from
the village of Lion-Chek, there is a
mountain of alum, which, in addition
to being natural curiosity. Is source
of wealth for the inhabitants Of the
country, who dig from it yearly tons
of alum. The mountain is not less
than ten miles in circumference at its
base and has height of nearly 1000
feet. The alum is obtained by quar-
rying large blocks of stone. which are
first heated in great furnaces and then
in watts filled with boiling water. The
. alum crystallizes and forms a layer
about six inches in thickness. This
layer is subsequently broken up into
blocks weighing about ten pounds
each

Mining at Home and Abroad.

1t is a noteworthy fact that the oc-
cupation of mining. which is attended
with SO considerable hazard In the
United States as to make the lives Of
miners almost non-insurable, is in
England not considered such serious
risk. Miners are longer lived than
many other indoor or factory workers.
This is not the case in France, Ger
many or Sweden. The difference is at
tributed to more scientific mining and
sanitary regulations prevailing In the
British mines.
