Acts Xviii:l.22.
Golden Text--In the world ye shall
have tribulation; be of good cheer; ]
have overcome the world. - John
xvi:33.
Verse What remarkable thing
had Immediately preceded Paul's start
for Corinth?
There is no record Of vision or
any special Divine instruction, for
Paul going to corinth; but is good
man as much guided by God when he
Is not conscious Of It, as when he Is,
and why? (This question must be
answered In writing by members of
the cIub.)
Verses 2-3-What was the attrac.
ton between AQuila and Paul?
How do you account for 1t that
there is an affinity between men OF
the same trade?
Have labor men a perfect right
to band themselves together, for mu-
tual protection against the undue de-
mands of capital?
Has capital a moral right to pro-
tect itself against labor?
Have business men right to pro
tect themselves against undue compe-
tition?
Paul worked at his trade as tent
maker for living, is there any s,ug-
gestion in this that modern preachers
should do a similar thing?
A large proportion of the member
ship of the present day Christian
church, have the latent ability to
preach; ought not this ability to be de-
veloped, thus giving to every local
church several preachers, and the
work being divided between them,
would be better done than at present,
and each preacher make his own liv-
ing?
Verse Ais it the duty and privi-
lege of every adult Christian to be
engaged at least every Sunday, in
some specific spiritual work?
Why did Paul, in the beginning, in
Corinth confine his work to the Sab
bath day and to the Jews?
Verses 5-6-What effect did the visit
of Silas and Timothy have upon Paul
If a good man is ever so much in
earnest, may the visit of another
earnest man intensity his spirit?
When a man does his very best in
preaching, and fails to make converts
is he entitled to as much credit as if
he had great success?
Did Paul blame himself for his fail
ure, and that the Jews resisted and
blasphemed; and ought a man OF
God always take similar position in
like circumstances?
Verse Z Has it ever been in the
past and is 1t today, sometimes nee
essary for a good man to leave the
church and start a meeting of his
own?
Verse 8-Is belief in Jesus an in
tellectual effect, or is it spiritual and
supernatural?
Verses 9-11-What method did Coo
take in this instance to talk to Paul?
Why is 1t that so few Christians
have any experience of any specia
message from God?
Do Christians speak as much a.
they ought for Christ to-day, and &
there any fear of being hurt by speak
ing for him?
Verses 12-17-Can any man ex
pect, even in these days, to be un
fiinchingly faithful to God, and no
make some people angry?
How do you estimate the characte
Of this man Gallo, and what Is ther,
In him worthy of imitation3
Verses 1S-22-Sum up the effect
OF Paul's efforts as revealed in thi
lesson.
