campaign In Corinth and needing
work for his support, he found
a job at his trade in the
shop with Aquila and Priscilla. It
was perhaps as he piled the needle
that he related to his fellow work
men the wonderful story of his sal
walton.
4. Valued helpers to Paul. He
more than found home with them /;
he found priceless fellow-helpers
Of the gospel. This was a most
devoted couple. They are never
mentioned separately.
Ill. AquiIa and Priscilla Instruct
ing ApoIIos (Acts 18:24-2S).
Having been instructed by Paul,
they were able not only to discern
ApOllos' lack Of understanding of
the gospel but to expound to him
the way of God more perfectly.
Here is case where an eloquent
preacher and mighty in the Scrip
lures was perfected in instruction
by a humble couple of manual la
borers.
~. AquiIa and Priscilla Were
Active Christian Workers (Rom.
1879.
Perhaps because of business sue
cess they occupied place Of prom
inence in the community, but they
were pre-eminently known as zeal
Gus workers for Christ.
v. AquiIa and Priscilla Endan-
gered Their Lives for Paul (Rom.
1870.
They seemed at some critical
time to have endangered their lives
for Paul's sake. They were so loyal
to Paul that they are described
as having actually martyred for
him.
vi. AquiIa and Priscilla Had a
Sanctified Home (Rom. $3.50.
When poverty and persecution
made the house Of worship impos-
sible, the home of this godly couple
became a meeting place of the
saints. A private home may be
made sacred edif1ce and Is so in
deed when the saints gather there
to worship God

LYDIA AND PRISCILLA

PRIMARY ToPIC-A Meeting Out

JUNIOR ToPIC-A Meeting by the,
INTERMEDIATES AND SENIOR
'TOPIC-Serving God in Our Daily
Work.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT
,TOPIC-Women in Industrial Life.
The central teaching Of this les
son does not so much concern
Christian women in industrial life
as it does the gospel Of Christ
finding them while in the pursuit Of
their chosen calling.
l. The Conversion Of Lydia
(Acts 16:11-15).
So far as recorded, she was the
first convert in Europe and in a
real sense hers is a typical CONVEX
sion. Observe the steps therein.
1. Attendance at the place Of
prayer ". 13). There being no
synagogue here, the accustomed
place Of prayer was at the river
side. The accustomed place today
is the church. However, the wor-
ship Of God is not restricted to set
places.
2. Listening to the preaching
of the word of God ". 14. Paul
took advantage of the opportunity
afforded him by the assemblage Of
this group of devoted women to
preach Christ to them. He was al
ways alert and priced highly the
opportunity to tell the people about
Christ.
8. Her heart was opened by the
Lord ". 14). The individual may
place himself near to the means of
grace and the preacher may preach
the Word Of God, but there is no
hope of salvation until the heart is
opened by the Lord John 6:44,
49,. While the salvation of every
one is dependent upon this SOW
ereign act Of God, yet we can be
sure that he is willing at all times
to do this for those who place
themselves in the way of saving
grace.
4. She was baptized ". 15). The
ordinance Of baptism follows belief
lin Christ. The invariable rule in
the early church was for believers
to be baptized. While there is no
salvation in the water Of baptism,
yet hearty obedience should be rem
dered in this respect.
3. She brought her household to
Christ ". 15). This vas as it al
ways should be.
6. Her expression Of gratitude ".
i15). She thus showed signs of the
new life in showing gratitude to
those who had been instrumental
in her conversion by constraining
them to share the hospitality of her
home.
II. AquiIa and Priscilla In Cor
NTH (Acts 1919.
1. Why there ". y. They were
expelled from Rome by the cruel
edict of Claudius against the Jews.
2. What they were doing ". 81.
Though recently arrived, they had
already settled down to the pur-
suit of their trade, the making Of
tents.

Seven as Lucky Number

Seven, from it's remarkable repe-
tition in the Bible, was for Gen.
turtles considered a lucky number
and for ages it has exercised its
spell over the mental operations
Of our ancestors. Some people ap-
parently still find this number
lucky, just as they find 13 unlucky,
though 1t would be difficult to
prove either. Superstitions with re-
gard to the moon and stars are of
ancient origin and a.. just as un-
reliable.

Wine As Food

Paul Garrett of New York, described as the "dean of American wine-growers, wants our native table wines taken out of the alcoholic liquor class and treated as food If this were done, he says, and the fermented grape juice were accordingly freed from the usual liquor tax, sound, wholesome American table wines, now sold at 75 cents to $1 a bottle, could be profitably marketed at 20 to 40 cents bottle."
 He insists that the alcohol in such bev- erages is not the primary thing, that it serves merely as a preservative, and the nourishing content is more important. He emphasizes, as wine men usually do, the alleged benefits to digestion from drinking such light wines with meals.
 Two of our states, North Carolina and Georgia, are said to have taken action along this line. It might become gen. eral practice some time. But there is sure to be strong opposition to such a policy in dry states, and even in many states not legally dry.

as excess wealth, and proceeded to divide it up among the others. There would be S4,OOO, 100000 to divide, he says, and the gain in annual income among those with less than $5,0O0 would be only $100 a year.
 Now, even such gain is not to be scorned as an addition to khe salary of the wage-earner or small-salaried person. Yet it looks petty in comparison with the lavish promises made to the poor by demagogS. Some further improvements in wealth distribution may well be made, but arbitrary distribution cannot accom- plish what visionaries expect.
 Dr. Epstein logically points out that the first requirement for raising low in- comes is greater production of wealth. "The plain, hard fact is that not enough wealth is produced even in this, the rich est of nations. For plentiful diStribu- ton of wealth and income we need first to have enough to distribute"
 Here is a practical, hard-headed advo- cacy of the "gospel of plenty" And there can be no plenty to share until the idle men and idle dollars are put to work cre- ating it. Not for a mere 30 hours week, either There will be time for that when all of us have all the things we want.

Where Did It Originate?

Judge Allyn L. Brown condemned Ill no uncertain terms the drinking habits or the modern-day parents in trying a dl- yorce case in Hartford this week. Judge Brown commented that he retralned from a discussion of the customs of our day in the belief that it was not the courts function to do so, but he did say sufficient to show that his ideas on the same were quite opposed to what in some circles of society is regarded as quite the thing.
 There is no denying that many of the charges and counter-charges brought out in the case are quite common occur renee in the daily lives of the fathers and mothers in this nation. We see 1t on every side of us if we don't purposely blind our eyes or close our ears to what is being said and done. What the effect will be on the generations to come re- mains to be seen, but hasty judgment would indicate sorry results.
 And yet if we get at the bottom of the entire mess we must see that our mode of free and easy living today is the prod uct of one period in our national develop ment And if anything has contributed to the moral delinquency of our family life it has been prohibition. We say this knowing we will be criticized for making such a claim, but we believe it to be true. We believe that anyone who reviews the ege of prohibition can show where the cid left off and the new began.
 Perhaps prohibition wasn't entirely to blame for our change in living. There may have been other factors contributing to the gradual undermining of the sacred rights and duties falling upon men ana women. But when you sift to the pot tom. you will find that the barrier which made law-breakers of self-respecting people had great deal to do with tear ing down restraint in other directions. It turned many lives into channels which never would have been found. It will be many generations before the damage can be repaired.

One Eliminated

According to the Hartford Times Col onel Samuel H. Fisher, who was chair man of the State Tercentenary Commis- sion which performed so nobly in our 111- terests throughout the past six or eight months, will not be candidate for the gubernatorial nomination next fall. Col onel Fishers name has been mentioned several times as likely candidate in the event that any of the favorites could not secure the nomination. He himself re- fuses to be considered as such and re- gently said as much in public utterance He's not only not candidate; he would decline if the chance to run were offered.
 It is obvious by this time that there is a movement .afoot to send the democratic convention of next September into cer- tain channels. Much of this drive IS pred icated on the fact that Governor Cross will not seek fourth term. This is de- batable, but probable. With the governor preferring to remain on the Sldellnes there will be considerable scurrying to step into his place. And there seems to be no lack of heSitancy ill democratic circles, even with the declaration that Connecticut will not back Roosevelt in 1886 ringing in our ears.
 That in itself is an encouraging sign for the democratic party. It is particu- larly gratifying to us here in Waterbury, where resides the Lieutenant-governor of the state, His Honor Mayor Frank Hayes. Pre-eminent among other demo- cratic officials in the state is Waterbury's candidate for the governorship. If he is to step aside for any other eligible it will be for the most important reasons Right now the desire to subdue any Hayes boom may be in difference to Governor Cross, which is understandable, but that with the passage of time such tactics can con- tinue is unbelievable. The showdown must be made sooner or later

We're sorry to see that J. N. Ding" Darling is severing all connections with the Bureau of Biological Survey. He claims that there's too much government red tape for him to make any progress in his campaign to save Americas wild fowl. No doubt he is perfectly correct in his statement, but it does seem as if some of the ponderous government agencies that clog the even progress of biological survey could be overlooked in the inter- ests of the cause. However, he knows just what he is up against. Nevertheless we sincerely trust that Ding" Darling will continue to lift his voice and raise his pen in support of the wild fowl of the United States. Every species is threatened with extinction so tremendous has been the toll and our failure to give the birds chance to increase through proper breed ing under suitable conditions. The fight will still continue.

William Rockefeller looks as if he might be going to add to the fine things that this family has done for American mankind. He has just bought big tract of forest land in the northern Adirondacks It's mostly wilderness, but the way we Ameri- cans are getting out into the wilderness today, no mountain fastness is secure any longer. The hand is in what is known in real estate circles as the Great Bay Pond tract. It was once owned by his family and perhaps may have been re- acquired for sentimental reasons. We do hope it will become ultimately public land for recreation purposes.

Question Box

o. When was Jack London's "Call of the Wild" produced as a soundless picture? Who played the leading roles?
 A. The silent version was made in 1923 by Pathe, with Jack Mulhall as the hero, and Walter Long as the villain. Buck" a St. Bernard dog, was featured. The original story title was used.
 o. How many women are em- ployed in the manufacture of cigars and other tobacco products in the United States?
 A. The 1930 census enumerated 1O3,715 operatives in cigar and to- bacco manufacturing of whom 67,- 948 were women.
 Q. What is the real definition of "brother-in-law?"

More Wealth to Divide

q have every sympathy with labor," says Dr. Ralph c. Epstein, dean of the University of Buffalo Business Admins tration, "and my respect goes out to those persons who are honestly trying to raise the standard of living for the average man." But he refuses to go along with those who cry: "It's there. The rich have it. All you have to do is to take the excess away and divided it up, and every one will have enough"
 Analyzing the country's wealth, Dr. Epstein finds that about 600,000 Ameri- cans in 1881 had incomes over $5,O00. Suppose we regard all above that figure

Economic Effect Of Auto Less Farm Products Needed Today Due to Increased Use of Motor Cars-Resuts Seen in
 Decreasing Farm Acres z

has not all been paid, and of course about 90 per cent of the equipment has been reduced to decay and rust.
 In 1900 there were 20 million horses on American farms; in 1921 there were 21 million. But in 1881 there were only 13 millions, 8 loss of 8 million in eleven years due to the rapid change from horse power to gasoline.
 The elimination of 8 million horses reduced the consumption of food farm products equivalent to the food consumption of 40 million people. Obviously land which farm erly was used to provide food for the antimals was used to cultivate food for humans.
 Meanwhile all told there were 27 million Americans who became au- tomoDile owners! The American peo- pie, instead of walking and using their own energy, consumed IS per cent less meat during that period, resulting in a decrease of cattle to- taling 40 million in 1920 to 30 mil-' lion in 1881. These 10 million cattle annually consumed as much food as 50 million people.
 But during this time there was a loss of about IT per cent in the de- mand for farm products. The con1- putation now is that approximate ly 20 per cent of all farms in Amer ica are no longer needed. Or 200 million acres instead of the cus- tomary $50 million acres.
 The value of farms decreased more than one-half during the period of gasoline supremacy-from an index figure of 156 in 1921 to 70 in 1892.
 None of which means that we are going to do away with the automo- bile, the truck or the tractor in or der to bring back former agricul- tural conditions. After all, there were depressions before the advent of the car which saw farming go to low ebb, yet it survived as population expanded and the coun- IIy 61CWs
 We will admit that conditions are different than during any previous depression; that the large usage of gasoline power and other machinery on the farm has vastly enhanced the ability to produce, while at the same time actually decreasing the power to consume. So the federals with their AAA came forward.
 The logical deduction would be more leisure for the farmer, which idealists claim is one of the primary objects of machinery. But the farm CT and his family for the most part have continued the old practice of minimum of leisure except when 1t is deemed advisable to go to town for visit relatives in the new car.

COMMUNISM STANDS FOR
 PEACE, Nor WAR, CLAIMS MEMBER

Nov. 13, 1850. Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 The communist party of Water
 bury extends it's greetings to the or ganization which had the initiative and courage to issue a peace mes sage to the students of the local high schools. We extend our sym
 pathy to the student bodies for the ilnwarranted and hurniliating inter- ference of the faculty. We urge
 them to demand freedom to act on problems that pertain to them. We condemn the action taken by the faculty in preventing the students from entering into discussions and
 so determine for themselves the
 stand they wished to take. We feel this to be a fragrant violation of the right to self determination.
 Through this action it must have
 been clear to them that although youth is old enough to work and to
 bo sent to war, it needs the pro- lection" of the combined forces of
 police and faculty when 1t comes to the question of rallying for peace. As for the bitter MT. Bria either
 he has the red jitters or thinks he can scare the peace loving peo- pie of this city from expressing their opposition to Mussolini's en- terprise in Africa.
 Just whom does MT. Bria blame for the situation in Ethiopia? MT. Bria does not like peace movements. Peace movements are apt to bring out the fact that fas-
 cism and peace do not go together. According to MT. Bria and MT. San- topietro all peace movements are
 "instigated" by communists. We
 thank these gentlemen for the
 kindly criticism. The charge is well
 founded and well earned. We are
 the irreconcilable enemies of Hit
 Ter and Mussolini, of war and fas-
 cism, and the friends Of all who
 fight Tor peace.
 We go even further to add to their
 discomfort. We have confidence and faith in the Italian people. They
 have been temporarily deceived but
 they will discover the truth in the end. The Italian masses like the German masses, have been told that
 only fascist leader can save them. When they see that fascism has
 brought them only war, and great
 CT poverty, and that the nation is | in greater peril than ever in his- tory; as hunger deepens, as the
 spectre of a cruel war, far worse than the last world war threatens to plunge them into universal
 nightmare, then they will see the truth.
 They will revolt. Then woe to Mussolini and Hitlerl This is as certain as the flight of the Kaiser
 and the shooting of the Czar. COMMUNIST PARTY OF WATERBURY.

Between 1910 and 1881 American farmers purchased automobiles, trucks and tractors costing $7,0OO,- 100000. They were not bought from his income, for during that period farm mortgages increased by $8,- 000, 100000.
