The Spoken and Written Word,
Acts 17:1-15; l Thes. 2:1-12, for
Sunday, Oct. 18:
Rough treatment did not stop
Paul and Silas going on as mission
aries. They knew the scriptures
and found strength in their faith in
Jesus Christ whom they preached
with undying vigor.
V. L. "Now they came to Thes-
salonica, where was synagogue. !"
Being elected from Philippi, they
sought the next city of Importance
and made straight for the syna-
gogue. If the Christian churches in
in the city function religiously
there is little fear of the rural
churches; Paul delivered a message
presenting risen Christ with power
to transform life; the message was
accepted by goodly number and u
Christian church was founded here.
V. 5. ''But the Jews which be-
lieved not, moved with envy, took
unto them certain lewd fellows of
the baser sort, and gathered COM
pany, and set all the city in an up
roar, and assaulted the house of ia.
son, and sought to bring them out
to the people" Some of the Jewish
leaders were jealous when they saw
the success of Paul's preaching. The
human will has some sovereign pow
er and may thrust it's resistance
against the holiest truth and mercy
of God.
V. 6. "And when they found
them not, they dragged Jason and
certain brethren before the rulers Of
the city, crying, These that have
turned the world upside down have
come hither too" The gospel turns
the world upside down, because the
world is wrong side UP and needs to
be turned. The flesh now generally
rules the spirit and the devil rules
the flesh; Christ came to reverse
this and put the spirit on top and
the flesh beneath.
V. 7. "Whom Jason hath receiv-
ed; and these all do contrary to the
DEGREES of Caesar, saying there is
another king, one Jesus The world
needs another king, for the kings of
this world have made sorry work of

MONEY FOR DROUTH AID

Morgan county farmers in need OF
assistance because of last summers
drouth should make application
through the local rural rehabilita-
tion office, McConnelsville. This an
nouncement has been made by j. f.
Miller, rehabilitation supervisor for
the resettlement administration in
Morgan and Washington counties.
''Since Ohio was designated few
days ago by the United States de-
partment of agriculture as in the
emergency drouth belt, drouth-
stricken farmers in any section OF
the state may apply for aid. How
ever, no farmer is eligible for as
sistance from the resettlement ad-
ministration if he can obtain credit
from any other agency Ohio has
received an ALLEGATION of $50, 600
for drouth aid under the resettle-
ment administration program. This
is divided into $4,000 for loans
and $4,000 for subsistence grants
The loans are for the purchase or
seed, livestock, feed and other es-
sential supplies needed on farms
this fall and winter because of the
drouth They are made for max
imum of Is months at five percent
interest. Grants are for human sub
sistence only and are available to
farm families in need of aid, but
who cannot obtain work or other
wise earn sufficient income to cover
their needs. They must be certified
to the resettlement administration
through other agencies"

Joseph David Beckwith was born
Aug. 80, 1880, at Rokeby Lock, and
died Oct. 6, 1886, at the age of 56
years, one month and six days. He
was the youngest son of Laban and
Armeda McClintock Beckwith, who
died number of years ago. In
September, 1907, he was united in
marriage. He is survived by son,
Vernon, and two grandsons, of
GAINESVILLE; one brother, Clarence,
at whose home he died; one sister,
Clara Neff, of Cleveland; four
nieces, two nephews, and several
cousins. His boyhood days were
spent in Morgan county until 1902,
when his parents moved to Harrison
township in Muskingum county. In
the fall of 1907 he went to Cleve-
land where he made his home until
Decoration day of this year, when
he came to live with the brother
mentioned above. He was a mem
ber OF Anchor Lodge, No. 283, F. &
y. NJ, of Duncan Falls, for 80
years.
Those from a distance attending
the funeral which was held Oct. s.,
were Mr.. and Mrs. Vernon Beck
with, Mr.. and Mrs Martin Stiner,
of GAINESVILLE; Mr.. and Mrs. B. O..
Perkins. Chas. Black, Columbus;
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Mathews, Trim

their business.
v. s. "And they troubled the
people and the rulers of the city,
when they heard these things"
With such charges as these, artfully
false in form, yet unconsciously
hiding deep truths, they troubled
the people and the rulers
V. 8. "And when they had taken
security of Jason, and of the others,
they let them go' After the storm
the skies are bluer and the grass
greener, and after the tumult Of
ten raised by the gospel will come
deeper peace and better world.
V. 10. ''And the brethren immed-
lately sent away Paul and Silas by
night unto Berea; who coming
thitAcr went into the synagogue OF
the Jews" Mob rule ends reason.
Prosecutions could not stay the gos-
pei, but only drove it on towards
Rene.
Y. II. ''These were more noble
than those in Thessalonica, in that
they received the word with all
readiness of mind, and searched the
scriptures daily, whether those
things were So" The only way to
ascertain truth and to guard against
error is to diligently search the
scriptures. The Bereans had pro-
gram of daily Bible study.
V. Z. "But we were gentle among
you, even as a nurse cherisheth her
children" Timothy had visited the
church at Thessalonica and reported
to Paul some of the weaknesses;
Paul wrote this epistle while at
Corinth, and it is the first recorded
epistle that he wrote to the church
es; it was to edify and encourage
the church in Christian living. Paul
thus mothered the churches he
founded.
V. s. $50 being affectionately
desirous of you. we were willing to
have impaired to you, not the gos-
pei of God only, but also our own
souls, because you were dear to u.s."
Paul was not only a great preacher,
a fine organizer, Jealous defender
of the faith, but he was supremely a
man with a great heart of love.
V. 9. "For ye remember, breth-
rem, our labor and travail; for Ia
boring night and day, because we
WOulQ UOC De cHdTSedDle uUlO any VI
you, we preached unto you the gos-
pei of God" Paul was generous, as
he worked while in Thessalonica to
support himself, not even taking a
collection.
V. II, -. ''As ye know how we
exhorted 4. that ye would walk
worthy of God, who hath called you
unto his kingdom and glory" Ones
walk is more important than his
talk. Every Christian is called of
God to do Christian service that
will bring in Gods kingdom, the re-
ward of which is the glory to come.

The Spoken and Written Word,
Acts 7:1-15; / Thes. 2:1-12, for
Sunday, Oct. 18:
How far are we responsible for
our beliefs and our unbeliefs?
To what extent ought we depend
upon scholars and Bible teachers for
our views of the Bible and it's teach
ings?
What are the qualities of noble
mind?
What does searching the scrip
lures involve?
Why is it that Christianity applied
so often produces envy and opposi-
ton?
Clerfcus says: Persecution and
passion respect no rights, but break
down all the safeguards of law and
liberty and life. Such lawlessness
is growing in our country, and is
one of the alarming symptoms Of
our civic life
Lesson prayer: eve pray for such
disposition of mind that will cause
searching for truth that will make

The 400th anniversary of the
martyrdom of William Tyndale oc-
ours this month. The first edition
of the New Testament, appearing IL
years before his death, was the first
volume of scripture to be printed in
England. His entire work was done
on the European continent where he
was forced to move from place to
place to avoid seizure by represen-
tatives of the king and church Of
his own native land. He was final
ly apprehended, imprisoned, and af-
ter year and a half of confinement
vas strangled and burned for his
persistence in giving the word of
God to the people Of England in
their own tongue. Tyndale has
contributed more than any other
man to the familiar forms of the
English New Testament and has
shaped the religious vocabulary Of
the English-sneaking world
