Church News
The Church School was but slim

primary department was well at

the larger room remained away
Why? There must be some reason
for all this tardiness in attending
the church school in the larger de-
partment. If the officers of the
school are remiss in any way in
fulfllment of their positions-then
it is time for change. If the teach
ers are neglectful and remain away
from their classes Sunday after |
Sunday then it is time for a change, !

The morning lesson christian
Facing Superstition"

But when the mission of Paul and
to Lystra seemed to be
uccessful, there came from Antioch
nd IcOnium certain Jews which
Iersuaded the people that the prea-
hing of Paul was wrong. They
toned this man and dragged him
ut of the city, supposing that he
,as dead.
But Paul was not dead, but he
rose and entered into the city and
n the morrow he and Barnabas
Ient forth to Derbe. Here they had
reater success, making many dis
iples, and then returned to Lystra,
cOnium and Antioch.
