to the baptism of John, for such bap-
tism could have had no force except
as an example of law obedience. So
when Paul arrived at Jerusalem, the
brethren were anxious he should
show the people that he was lust as
deNout jew as ever in order to al
lcviate the distrust created 10y his
connections with the Gentle world.
To this end he consented TO take the
rites of purification, and in the con
clusion of this ceremony he came
face to face with some Jews from
Asia who had heard and seen his
wonderful works.
This was their opportunity for re-
venge. and they lost no time in arous,.
ing a mob that seized Paul ana
dragged him from the temple. 1heu
accusation was that he was subvert.
ing the cherished principles Of Juda-
ism and the entirely gratuitous sug-
gostion that he had profaned the tenn
pie bV bringing an uncircumcised
man within its sacred portals. The
mob would have killed him but Tor
the timely interference of the Roman
authorities, and even then he was i2-
tanned as a prisoner and. although
the chief allowed him to make a pub
lie address. he would have scoureed
him afto rward but for Paul's declar-
alton of his Roman citizenship, upon
which he was released and stood for
trial This trial became so disordcrly
that he was again im1risoned as a
measure of safety. and in the night

The Sunday
School LESSON
By Ben Newsome

Lesson Sept. 10, Acts 21;17-4O.
Paul had returned to Jerusalem in
the face of the conviction that he
was going headtong into trouble, but
he had never hesitated as long as he
felt that he was following the lcadings
of the Holy Spirit Not only did he
have the completest confidence in the
power Of the Lord to take care of him,
but his loyalty to the Master was such
that he could not conceive Of any
question OF personal safety or con-
Nenience coming in between him and
the call of duty. On his way TO the
Jewish capital a prophet had fore
told that he would be bound in fet-
ters. but the apostles reply was that
he was ready to be not only found
but to die, for the name Of the Lord.
There was nothing foolhardy about
Paul. He had several times allowed
himself TO be spirited away from th"
point of danger and never showed q
disposition to put the power of di.
vine protection needlessly to the test
i'm other words he was as discreet

The demands in this controversy have not been
presented, in judgment, for the purpose of fixing
definite daily period of labor reduction in the
existing hours of labor change in methods of opera
ton, but for the real purpose of accomplishing an
increase in wages of approximately One Hundred
Million Dollars per annum IS per cent for the men
in railroad freight train and yard service represented
by the labor organizations in this matter.
After careful examination of the facts and patient
and continuous consultation with the Conference
Committee of Managers and among ourselves we
have reached clear understanding of the magnitude
of the questions and of the serious consequences to
the railroads and to the public involved in the decision
of them.

effort is required for the public welfare, would be
harmful beyond calculation
The widespread effect upon the industries of the
country as a whole is beyond measure or appraise-
ment at this time and agree with the nsstent and
widespread public concern the gravity of the
situation and the consequences of surrender by tho
railroads in this emergency
In like manner we are deeply impressed with the
sense OF our responsibility to maintain and keep open
the arteries of transportation which carry the life
blood of the commerce of the country and of the
consequences that will flow from even temporary
interruption of service the railroads. but the
issues presented have been raised above and beyond
the social and monetary questions involved, and
the responsibility for the consequences that may
arise will rest upon those that provoke it.

(a) The railroads will, effective September 7, 1916
keep the time of all men represented in this movement
upon hour basis and by separate account monthly
with each man, maintain a record of the difference
between the money actually earned by him on the
present basis and the amount that would have been
earned upon an s hour basis-overtme each basis
to be computed pro rata.
The amounts shown will be subject to the
decision of the Commission, provided for in Paragraph
(c) of this memorandum and payable in money as
may be directed by said Commission in it's findings and

President may fix, not however. less than three
months.
c) In view of the far-reaching consequences of the
declaration made by the President accepting the
hour day not only upon the railroads and the classes
of labor involved directly in this controversy but to
the public and upon all industry, it seems plain that
before the existing conditions changed the whole
subject in far it affects the railroads and their
employees, should be Investigated and determined by
a Commission to be appointed by the President, Of
such standing to compel attention and respect to
its findings. The judgment of such Commission
would be helpful basis for adjustments with labor
and such legislation intelligent public opinion, so
informed might demand.

conscience surrenderwithout hearing the principle
involved undertake to transfer the enormous cost
that will result to the transportation of the commerce
of the country
The eight-hour day without punitive overtime
involves annual increase, approximately, in the
aggregate of Sixty Millions of Dollars, and an increase
of more than per cent. in the pay of the men,
already the most highly paid in the transportation
service.
The ultimate cost to the railroads of an admission
in this manner of the principle under contention
cannot be estimated; the effect upon the eff
