today does not take the form ordinarily
of physical violence, certainly in this
country; although it did in the Boxer
movement in China in 1900, and in
Korea about a decade later, but the
man or woman, or boy or girl who lives
true to Christ today still suffers perse-
cution in some form, even though 1T
be more subtle If you have never
been misunderstood or criticized for
your Christian life, you will do well to
examine your life to see whether it is
Christian.
Second, stephen made a vast contri-
button to the church in giving it a
broader conception of its mission. The
persecution which followed the death
of Stephen drove the disciples into
Judea and Samaria, and made them
realize actually that they had duty
to people in other places than Jerusa-
lem. Heretofore, their worship had
been in connection with the temple.
From this time on they had learned
that God may be worshiped in any
place, so long as He is worshiped in
spirit and in truth. .--,
Third, Stephen made a great contri-
button in his spirit of forgiveness and
in showing us how to suffer as a
Christian. Never before. except in the
instance of Jesus. Himself, had one
been prosecuted and yet prayed Tor HIS
enemies. stephen bore no malice, even
thoughfhe had every right to do so. On
the contrary, while the rocks were bruis-
ing his body and his strength was fail
ing, the love of his Master beamed
forth in his life as he prayed for the
very men who were responsible for his
death 70. .-.t
Fourth, one of the largest contribu-
tions which stephen made to the church
was in the conversion of Saul. We
shall deal with this more fully later,
but we must say here what st. Angus
tine said, "If Stephen had not prayed,
Paul had not preached" Even though
he made havoc of the church and had no
mercy on man, woman or child, Saul
could never get away from that look
of an angel on his face or from the
prayer for forgiveness which fell from
his lips until finally he resisted the
Spirit no longer, but yielded himself
absolutely to Him.
Teachers. impress upon your teen
age" boys and girls to stand true re-
CARELESS of the cost. Show your jun
Tors that it is more heroic to forgive
classes that no sacrifice made for the
service of Christ is a failure, but is of
inestimable value. Personally beware,
lest you be guilty of the sin of the
religious leaders of that day-avoid
spiritual blindness and deafness, and
examine yourselves carefully that you
do not at any time resist the Spirit
of God

LYNcH1Na IN GEORGIA.

Georgia has acquired unehN ldpie
nromInence be the Frank lynching; and
once you give dog bad name every
body proceeds to give it kick
some of the newspapers are printing
columns of talk. and advice and fore
holdings from preachers. lawyers, etc.
But. as bhe Indians used to say, when
they had made up their minds, Put this
i'm YOUR pipe and smoke it, so L VIII
saw as long as rape violence prevails in
Georgia. then lynching is going to con-
tinue. There. is nothing more certain
so long as there Is enough red blood
and manhood in the Caucasian race to
stand for the protection of their wom-
en-. Smoke that. brethren! 1t is true.
But l do deplore the unseemly haste
which lynches suspected people, and Tor
other crimes than the one that VIII
not name in this connection.
Some folks are blaming the governor
who saws his power is limited; some
are blaming the judges who do not
hurry up the trials; some are blaming
the LAWYERS who take advantage of
technicalities to free the prisoner, all
of which are worth the mention, put
none of them are alone guilty of delay
and timidity and working for law fees.
In England the convicted person is
lust certain to get his punishment. In
Georgia the convicted person is always
trying TO get pardoned out of the pen
itentiary.
In that notorious Frank case every
member of the prison commission was
that night In Milledgeville. and quite
near the state prison. \ trio of school
boys would have been quite as efficient
I'm the crisis. They were fully aware
Of the state Of the public mind, and
il was their duty to act promptly, which
they failed to do.
| believe we should allow the courts
to decide on the guilt of an offender
The offender can appeal and get a re-
vision by the supreme court; then the
thing ought to stop. II is something
fierce to understand how much of the
governors time is consumed by appeals
for pardon, etc. Ii was understood thai
the prison commission would relieve
that pressure. but il is disheartening tC

can recede and proceed, and sepersedt
and intercede, and all i'm contradiction
