THE HEROES oE AFRICA.

The EpWorth League topic is a dis,
cuss1on Of the missionary heroes of
Africa-Livingstone Cox, Mackay,
Good and others who have labored to
throw light into the dark places of the
Dark Continent.
The interest in missions aroused
among the young people Of the country
Is one of the noteworthy events Of tbs
times. 1t is one of the most hopeful
indications as to the future of the
church.
Events move with such marvellous
rapld1ty that 1t is difficult to keep well
posted In some matters Of great i'm
portance. But the facilities put in our
hands for a clear understanding of the
work Of missions makes it possible in
every community by a little care to
make our people thoroughly intelligent
as to the progress, prospects and needs
Of our church work in all lands.
Africa is the least civilized of all
great divisions of the earth. Within
the memory of many who are not
counted old the whole interior of the
continent was marked on maps "un-
explored" Now the project of a rail-
way from Cairo to Cape Town is ac.
tually under way.
The progress of discovery around the
shores and through the interior of
the Dark Continent is one Of the mos,
lhTllllnS OF stories. No one person has
done more to open this vast land tn
civilization and Characterization than
did David Livingstone, the missionary
explorer, who died in the very heart
of the wilderness.
Cox will ever be remembered in the
Methodist Episcopal church, not for
the great work he did either in ex-
ploration or eyangelization, but be-
cause of his indomitable zeal and faith

Africa, and his memorable words
which have become the rallying cry OF
the church, Though a thousand fall

her hands unto God"

Sunday Study
REVIEW OF PAUL's CHARACTER

REVIEW OF PAUL'S CHARACTER.
The International Sunday school les
son for March 20 Is a review of Pauls
xviii, 20.
The lessons of the present quarter
have covered the great missionary
work Of Paul. They include the work
Of his second and third missionary
tours. His first tour was a COMPARE
lively narrow one, including only the
island of Cyprus, and a few cities in
the southern part of Asia Minor. But
when he went forth on his second tour
God sent him farther than Paul had
dreamed of going, permitting him to
do little in Asia, but sending him into
Europe.
The things which stand out in this
trip are his ministry at Philippi, with
the wonderful deliverance from prison;
his work in Thessalonica, ending in
tumult; his kindly reception at Berea,
where the people turned to q candid
study Of the Scriptures; his short stay
at Athens, with his sermon on Mars
hill, so meager in results; his ministry
of eighteen months in Corinth where
he developed, in the midst of the vice
OF the heather world at It's worst, @
strong church; and his return by way
of Ephesus to Jerusalem.
The great feature Of the third jour-
ney was the ministry at Ephesus,
lasting three years. There Paul achiev-
ed his greatest success among the
Gentlles, and through his helpers ex-
tending Christianity into many cities
In Asia Minor. The ministry there
closed with the great riot by the
Worshipers and partisans of the god
dess Diana. From there Paul went
again into Macedonia, and from there
to Greece, spending three months,
chiefly at Corinth. Then he returned,
tarrying only little anywhere, meet
Ing at Miletus, and giving his farewell
address to the elders Of the Church
Of Ephesus, and then fastening on to
Jerusalem.
There are a considerable number of
names that are mentioned in connec-
ton with this period of history, but
the most important are Luke, the writ
er Of history; Silas and Timothy COM
panlons and helpers of Paul; Apollos
the eloquent evangelist, and Aquila and
Priscilla, the faithful and wise man
and wife with whom Paul became as
ISOLATED at Corinth. and who came
with him to Ephesus.
The lessons have introduced US to
some of Pauls most interesting letters
that to the Philippians, written from
Rome during Paul's first imprisonment
and more than ten years after the
founding of tbs church at Philippi
that to the Thessalonians, written
from Corinth. only a few months after
Pauls first visit to Thessalonica: the
First Epistle to the Corinthians, writ
ten from Ephesus, during the three
years of PauPs ministry there; and
that to the Ephesians, written from
Rome during Paul's Imprisonment.
What are the secrets of this mar
Velous life work?
l. Consciousness of his own saliva
ton.
2. His respect for the sacred trust
committed to him.
3. His plan of doing the work in
hand
4. He denied himself many things
lest his influence should be lessened.
o. His extraction of help and power
from elements that seemed opposed tc
him.
6. He realized that the man who
works with God is practically irresisti-
bic.

Envious frost doth hold IN Zee
Every lip in Castaly.
But let spring the bonds unbind
With the soft touch of it's wind,

All the rapture, all the stress,
Sweeter are the strains that come

YOU NEVER CAN TELL.

You never can tell when you send a word,
Like an arrow shot from a bow
By an archer blind, be it cruel or kind,
Just where it may chance to go.
1t may pierce the breast Of your dearest
friend,
Tipped with It's poison or balm;
To a strangers heart, in life's great mart
1t may carry its pain or its calm.
You never can tell when you do an act
Just what the result will be.
But with every deed you are sowing a
seed,
Though the harvest you may not see.
Each kindly act is an acorn dropped
In Gods productive soil;
You may not know, but the seed shall
grow
With shelter for those who toll.
You never can tell what your thoughts
will do
In bringing you hate or love,
For thoughts are things, and their airy
wings
Are swifter than carrier dove.
They follow the law of the universe
Each thing must create it's kind
And they speed DER the track to bring you
back
Whatever went out from your mind.
