\ LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 18TH
Lesson Title: "From Melita to
Rome"
Lesson Text: Acts 2S: 11-31. Mem
orize vss. 80, 81.
Golden Text: "I am not ashamed of
the gospel: for it is the power of God
unto salvation to every one that be-
ieveth. ."-Om. 1:16.
I /. THE UNASHAMED MAN
I Do you remember time in your boy
hood when your mother looked at you
very seriously and said: aren't you
ashamed of yourself?" Your attitude
and response showed that you were!
You had been up to some mischief and
you knew it. Perhaps you were in
part ashamed because you were
caught, but you were also ashamed
because your mother disapproved. You
knew that your mothers judgement
was right You knew that you ought
not to do anything she could not ap-
prove. 1t was this latter sort of
shame which was worth while and
which did the most good.
The man who knows no shame is
the man who knows the most sin.
Shame is, in part, the product of the
sensitive conscience. 1t comes also
2 from a comparison of our lives with
others. 1t comes out of that inner
voice which speaks to US from God
when we do wrong. Paul said: 81 am
not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the
| power of God unto salvation to every
one that believeth." 1t is good for q
man to have a religion of which he is
not ashamed. How about your re.
ligion? Does it compare favorably
with others? Will it match up with
your mothers religion? Are you Civ
ing as much attention to it as you
should? What spirit stirs within yor
when you meet truly religious man
How does your religion compare with
that type which Jesus Christ taught
and lived? Thank God if in your sou
there ever rises sense of shame be
cause your religion is below par!
Ill. The Power of God.
Paul believed in the gospel because
it manifested the "power of God"
is the power of God applied to tn
/, problems of human life and human
society which gives us hope. We fai
in our strength. We try, and ar
discouraged because we do not ac
complish. We give up because havin,
tried we see no hope of success. Her
God enters. He puts his power a
our disposal. He gives his grace fo
our help. By his strength, as Pau
said, we can do all things!
The marvel of the twentieth centur.
is that so many people are willing
to do without the help of God whicl
is so freely offered to make thei
lives happy, helpful, healthful.
\ Ill. The Encouragement of Friends
When Paul was on his way to Rom
he was met by group of friends VIII
accompanied him on the way. Thei
presence made the journey shorter
The Record says that when Paul sa,
them "he thanked God and too
courage" Many a man has done tn
same when he met friend. All alon
the journey of life our friends ar
needed. 1t is also true that we oul
selves ought to be showing friendshi
to others whose journey is long an

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 0.-Judge
Wills +. Sears of the district
court of Douglas county, TODAY
ISSUED an order restraining the
general and local officials of the
Order of Railway Conductors
calling or enforcing a strike on
the lines of the Union Pacific.
he order was issued on peti-
ton OF Edwin A. Hamilton, a con
ductor and member of the Order
OF Railway Conductors, who de-
clares that he and many other en-
ployes are anxious to continue at
work.
Judge Sears set Saturday morn
ing, Sept 2, for the hearing of the
order.
Hamilton in his petition claims
the strike order is a violation of
the constitution of the conduct
ors organization which provides
tor a tWo-thirds' vote on any road
where a strike is to be called.
This law was changed last MAY
SO that a two-thirds' vote of all
concerned in a general wage
movement governs the employees
OF all railroads involved, whether
the employees of an Individual
road vote to strike or not. Ham
llton claims the change violates
the constitution of the order.
