iIom Alexandria To DE placed in the
church which bore his name, and there
they rest today, because of the spirit of
God in Barnabas which made him give TO
one who had been a coward a second
chance.
I wish that every one Of you could hear
this young man. There have been few
such revivals as that in Wales, and IT
is a great privilege to hear man who
God has used so gloriously. This text
and the way il was treated opens up

through Jesus, taught us to give 20

that he afterwards recognized Mark

to him.
When we stop 10 consider the i'm
pulsiveness of Peter. this difference be-
tween Paul and Barnabas. the faint
heartedness of Mark, the ambition OF
those two brothers, and then how each
one made their besetting sin a stepping
stone TO something better; how they did

We have some good letters this week,

Last week two girls came to Atlanta
hunting work. They could barely write
their names, the height OF their ambition
was to work In town and tried faithful

have money enough to pay a weeks
board in advance, and nobody was willing
to take them. We OF the Christian Asso-
citation finally stood for their board; think
OF the days they have spent going from
house to house hunting work. Several

kept us from placing anybody. The ed

who don't give value In time or attention
for the money received. Inexperienced

our cases are parallel. Why should
