Although the stormy weather had its effect on the attendance at the H. lustrsted lecture at the Central Baptist church on Sunday evening, nearly one hundred people braved the elements to hear the story of Paul, the Messenger who carried the good news to our ancestors, interestingly told by the church pastor, Rev. Dr. Joel B. Slocum, D. D.
 The service opened with the singing of the hymn, Christmas, and then Rev. pr. Slocum read as the scripture se- lection, Acts 26: 1-20 The anthem was followed by an earnest prayer and the offering was taken. The singing of two hymns, thrown on the screen, preceded Rev. Dr. Slocum's lecture.
 After reviewing PauPs early life and missionary Journeys. Rev. pr. Slo- cum said: .PauPs great desire, ex- pressed over and over, was to go to Rome and give his personal testi- mony those in the heart of the great empire. Most scholars believe that his letter to the Romans was writ ten during stay in Corinth. But one strong reason and another de- layed carrying out the plan for a Roman journey. Paul did, in fact, turn eastward instead of westward, and among other places in Asia Minor he went to Ephesus.
 Paul went to Jerusalem to worship StS He dlWdyS aI the 1emple. TOT we must remember that, even at this stage of Christianity's development, nobody quite realized that Christiani- ty was bound to separate itself from the old Mosaic ceremonies.
 You remember they were watching Paul's every movement when he visit ed the Temple, and in some way or other the story arose that he had taken one of the Gentle converts with him into the large open court. The rule was that no Gentle should ever pass beyond the line of a certain building.
 As a matter of fact he probably had not done it, but that was the rumor. Paul was hurried away by the Roman soldiers to prevent a riot on the Tenn ple premises.
 To save his life the Jerusalem chief of police sent him secretly by night. with an armed guard and delivered him over into the weeping of the Ro- man governor at Caesarea. Here again Paul stood up valorously for the faith
 The letters written during the Apostles Roman days are full of re- factions and allusions growing naturally to some extent out of what he found in the strenuous life of the empires centre. Rome was a noto-

ious centre of gay living and dissi- patton. Paul wrote from here to the Ephesians, He that soweth to the flesh reap corruption"
 Rome was a place where military splendor was perpetually on parade. Paul wrote from here describing the armor of a Christian warrior with the field of faith and with the sword of the spirit.
 Rome was then the most cosmopoli- tan city on earth, where every known nationality was represented in the mixed population. Paul wrote from there to the Colossians his vision of the universality of the Christian com munion, where there should bo no dis tinction of rdce-no talk neither of Greek or Jew, barbarian nor Scythian, but that all should be one in broth hood.
 For centuries the place of his bur ial outside the walls bore no mark of honor. It was remembered only by a few faithful friends. Then Constan- Christianity, tried to make up for the crime of his predecessors, and he built a church over the martyrs grave. The church has since several times been built. On the bronze canopy over the altar you can read two words of an inscription in his honor-Praedicator Veritatis-A Teacher of the Truth.
 His dust lies unseen below tse al- tar. But his heroic work has been growing and blossoming and multi plying ever since, through the rain and sunshine of all the intervening centuries. Its fruit we see all around us. And the seed of its fruit is still being planted to bring forth more fruit unto the Lords own harvest.
 The fifty or more colored lantern slides were unusually handsome and were favorably commented upon by a number of those present.

 ANNUAL PRAYER MEETING
At Federated Church Sunday Evening Address Delivered by Willis Hill

The annual prayer meeting of the Norwich District Christian EndeaVor Union was held at the Federated church, Greeneville, Sunday evening with fair attendance considering the stormy conditions.
 Willis Hill of the Federated Church Union, was the leader and addressed the meeting, taking for his subject, In- fuence Others For Good. Among some of the things he said were: The character of a man has great influence and we must stand behind our words and actions. Many people have bet ter characters than they get credit for and in many cases they are wrongly judged. A happy smile and kind words go a long way in winning confidence. A cheerful and happy disposition is a great help and source of strength in spiritual life.
 Jesus left us a warning, to influence only good, not evil. Every persons influence is either good or harmful If we have faith in God and trust in Him we will get along all right.
 Following the talk several gave per- Sonal testimonies.
