~ The lesson of this quarter will be O
much interest. as bible students viii
be able to follow portion of the
career of the great Apostle Paul
Many of us have heard mention made
OF the Macedonian Cry" 1t was in
response to this cry that we find the
apostle in the lesson today at the
great city Of Philippi. Philippi was
a great Roman city. There were To-
Gated many Roman soldiers, and it
was connected with Rome by the best
OF communications available in those
times. 1t was on the coast in the
vicinity of the present city of Con
stantinople.
One can we'll picture in mind. Paul
and Silas entering the city. They were
strangers In q strange land, on a new
continent. Fhen the Jewish Sabbath
came on, they bethought themselves
Of where it would be most probable
that the Jews would 70 to worship,
and SO they went to the outskirts
OF the city, into the groves near the
river and we're not disappointed.
There came out that day number
OF women, and among them one OF
most honorable standing in the city,
the maker and seller of fine linens,
Lydia by name. She was evidently
Of noble character. devout in her re-
lixion and when Paul told of the
Messiah, how he had come and
preached and died and fulfilled the
prophecies of the Old Testament, she
believed and she and her family were
baptized. The conversion of Lydia
Is beautiful thing to think upon.
Her coming to Jesus was but carrying
out the natural impulses of, her ma
tire. She did the courteous thing by
inviting Paul and Silas to be her
guests while in the city. ) +.
1T is one of the things that are not
satisfactorily explained, why it was

ture and asked. in some cases. to be
let alone. It appears that In the city
OK Philippi, there was a young girl
who had the power of fortune telling,
prophesying, who recognized in Paul
aSleader and disciple of Jesus. and as
the apostle and Silas went about II
seen BY her. she called after them, an
nouncing that Paul was a teacher for
Jesus. This, of course. attracted at.
tertion to Paul. but in way that
he did not like and so. one day, he
turned upon the girl and commanded
the evil spirits to come out of her,
By the power of Jesus. His COM
mSnds were obeyed. 1t appears that
she evidently was q slave girl. and
that her owners had been making
money by her sayings. and therefore
whom she became the same as other
pSople, they could not earn any mon

their revenge upon Paul, and Silas,

they charged them with being teach
ers of riotous doctrines and of Gus
toms which it was not right for Ro
mans to observe. The magistrates
without trial. condemned Paul and
Silas to be beaten and sent to the
city prison.
There was no mercy to the persons
sent there for keeping. The iailers
were brutal fellows who had no feel
ings OF compassion upon human suf
ferings. 1t was the rule that the
jailer was responsible with his life
for the safe guarding of the prisoners.
Into the hands of such man, Silas
and Paul were given. He did not
wash their wounds or do anything to
make them more =, comfortable. but
took them to the inner prison and put
their feet between large pieces of
wood in such way that escape was
impossible. One would naturally sup
pose that prisoners thus treated would
have been downcast. but such was not
the spirit of Paul and his companion.
They began to sing. and, of course,
all the prisoners listened. Now, the
supernatural happened. There was
an earthquake as far as the prison
was concerned. The doors were
thrown open and the prisoners were
had made their escape. the jailer
awoke and seeing the prison doors
open, was about to kill himself with
his sword, knowing that a failure to
hold those in his custody would mean
death at the hands of the Roman au-
thorities. Paul evidently knew the
state of affairs at the door. so called
to the jailer that none had escaped
and to do himself no harm.
The conversion to Christianity. of
the Philippian iailer, stands out as
one Of the marked events in the his
tory Of the Apostle Paul From a
rough. brutal, unsympathetic man, he
was made in minute to a humble
seeker after Jesus. kind and thought
full OF Others. He called for a light,
he went to where St. Paul was held.
He made question as to what he
should do to be saved. He was told
to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
This he did at once. and he and his
household were baptized that same
night. - = .. . '..,es ,.- rngf
There are many great things to be
learned from the record of Paul at
Philippi and few of them are these:
First, he was told in dream that he
was not to follow his own wishes. to
remain in Asia Minor. but to 20 over
into Macedonia One of the strong
expressions of the great apostle WIS
this: II was not disobedient to the
heavenly vision" 1t meant that when
convinced of his duty he did it I'm.
flinchingly and willingly. He thus
set every Christian great example.
Second, little did the band of faithful
women who met that Sabbath day on
the outskirts of Philippi realize that
a new era in their lives was to open,
that they were to meet the greatest
man, aside from Jesus, who ever lived.
They were faithful and gained a great
blessing. Sometimes, bands of Chris
tians in our day feel as,if the outlook
is discouraging when they meet from
time to time with the same number
present., but their faithfulness has

the wife and indispensable laboratory

What Could the Poor Girl Dor the
latest OF Mark Swans plays, had its
metropolitan premiere at Polls last
night, and large contingent Of frst-
niEhters went home smiling.
II is a farce in three acts. adapted
from the French Of Keroul and Barre,
and there are laughs, aplenty in it.
George Broadhurst, producer OF the
comedy, has gathered a company of
ten. headed by Ernest Truck, and
they handle the risaue situations that
continuously crop up with deftness
and facility.
Into the bridal chamber OF a Deau-
willie hotel wanders a young man un-
der the influence of hypnosis In the
chamber Is a dainty young bride OF
an hour whose husband has gone out
in search of q missing bag. When
she discovers n stranger in her bed
sh fs bewfIdered, perpleXed, and fran
tic, because her burly spouse Is ex-
tremely Jealous All her efforts 70
rouse him and eject him and his pink
pajamas fail. She rings for and admits
a valet de chambre, and together they
pull and haul at the sleeping visitor,
fnally getting him into his apart
ments, which adjoins.
Friend husband returns. becomes
suspicious of a 'hasty rival" hnds
mans clothing In the closet, and the
riot starts.
Act two IL set at ostend, where
the pink ajamaed youth is busy with
the affairs OF his own hotel. Thither
come the bridal couple estranged.
When the Jealous husband learns that
his host is the intsrloper more trou-
Bile brews.
So on the third act. with fresh
difficulties marrinE the course of true
love for the unhappy bride, And
what Could the Poor Girl Do?''
Janet TraVers, who enacts this role,
is captivating, and scores in her every
scene.
The play gives Ernest Truck new
opportunities TO display the gamut OF
emotions Of q wistful young man who
is sure his wife will leave him when
she learns of his experiences in the
Deauville, hostelry. where he had
been chased from the bridal chamber
Of strangers. Robert ober, in the
role Of his friend, who knows his
tribulations and shares his fears, also
does some capable bits OF acting.

serves compliments for his clever

AAYOY.

Douglas Fairbanks runs true to
form in Mr.. Ffx-It," shown at Gran
dalrs Savoy yesterday. for there was
scarcely a moment in an hour and a
quarter consumed in its showing
when the majority OF the audience
was not in veritable pGroxysms Of
laughter. He has the role OF a hu-
morous, kind samaritan. whose in
variable answer to a difficult situa-
tion is that he will iK It." The story
in England. then shifts to America,
when Mr.. FiX-It endeavors to
straighten out the love affairs OF his
best friend and takes his place in the
family circle. In order TO bring a lit
tie excitement into the house. he
adopts an entire family OF poor chill
dren. A gradual change comes over
the entire house and every ones diff
hculties are straiEhtened out by Fix
It's own-and It takes one Of the
children to settle things for him. The
usual Fairbanks stunts, together
with some new ones. have much to do
with the appeal OF the picture. Mr..
FiX-It" will again be the chief attrac-
ton at the Savoy tonight.

STRAND.


A comprehensive pictorial justifi-
cation for the entrance Of the United
States into the war is on view a;
Moore's Strand Theater this week in
the feature photOplay. Lest We For
get" a powerful indictment OF the
Hun. in which the central role is i'm
personated by Rita Jolivet.
Lest We Forget" depicts his
torical events both here and abroad
and threads them together in a fas-
cinating arrangement by a ficional
story that compels interest, arouses
deepest sympathy for the war Huf-
ferers and thrills with a quick sue
cession Of superlatively dramatic
scenes. The fidelity with which
events that have become OF interna-
tional Importance are reproduced is
due in part TO the fact that Miss
JoIivet actually participated in much
that is now brought home to the
public through the medium OF en-
crossing celluloid. She herself is
one Of the few survivors OF the Lusi-
tania the sinking OF which forms one
OF the most narrowing episodes OF
the screen story. The barbarous
slaughter Of innocent women and
children by means Of the torpedo Is
represented upon the screen with as
tonishiug realism, thousands of peo-
pie being utilized to give the effect
Of genuine catastrophe and mob
panic.
Added interest is felt in this en-
gaEement by reason OF the fact that
on wednesday, Thursday and Friday
Miss Jolivet will address Strand au'
diences in person on the many STR
ring events in which she has figured
since the outbreak OF the war.
Short reels complete the program
as usual
