BY NEWMAN CAMPBELL.

In Studying the life and adyen-
lures Of the Apostle Paul, one is
struck with the fact that ne mus
have been very colorful character
He was forceful, alert, fearless are
determined, and we may even sa,
he had a sense of humor.
. Such a man naturally did not al
ways agree with those with whom
he was associated, and occasionally
he quarreled with them. This is what
happened when, some time after the
journeys described in last Sundays
lesson, Paul said again to Barnabas
LET us go and visit our brethren
in every city where we have preach
ed the word of the Lord, and see
how they do"
Barnabas agreed, but he wanted to
take Mark with them. Paul however
did not want to take him, and the
contention was SO sharp between
them that eventually they separated.
Barnabas taking Mark and Paul TAX
ing Silas, the Greek disciple of last
weeks lesson. Each went different
way.
Peter had many visions which
guided his acts because they came.
he believed, from the Lord. Some
cities he planned to visit were left
off the itinerary because "the spirit
suffered them not"
At the town of Troas, vision ap-
peared unto Paul one night-a man
stood before him, praying, "come
over into Macedonia and help u.s."
After he had seen the vision, Paul
started for Macedonia, arriving at
Philippi, the chief city. There on the
Sabbath, there being no Jewish syn
agogue in the town, he went out of
the city to the riverside to hold SER
vices. There came a certain woman
named Lydia, a seller of purple
cloths, and she was concerted by
Paul and was baptized with her en-
tire household. She then asked the
disciples to come to her home.
On their way to prayer, they met
a young woman who was said to be
possessed of a devil. She prophesied
for money, bringing her masters
much gold. She kept following Paul
and Silas, crying, "These men are
the servants of the most high God,
which show unto us the way of SAL
vation," in mockery, evidently. At
last Paul turned and said to the
spirit, ''I command thee in the name
of Jesus Christ to come out of her"
That did not please the woman's
masters, however, who now realized
that their source of revenue was gone.
They caught Paul and Silas and
brought them to the magistrates, ac-
cusing them Of troubling the city and
lawful for Romans to learn. The null

titudes being against the disciples.
the magistrates tore off their clothes
and ordered them beaten and thrown
into prison, telling the jailer to keep
them safely. They then were thrust
into the inner prison and their feet
made fast in the stocks.
At midnight Paul and Silas were
praying and singing hymns. "And
suddenly there was a great earth
quake, so that the foundations of the
prison were shaken; and Immediate
ly all the doors were open, and
everyone's bonds were loosed"
The prison-keeper was SO alarm
ed at this, thinking that all his prison
ers had escaped and he would be
punished for it. that he took his
sword and was about to kill him
self, but Paul cried with loud voice,
saying, "Do thyself no harm for we
are all here"
The keeper called for a light, and
when he saw that indeed his prison
ers had not escaped, he fell down
before Paul and Silas and asked
what he must do to be saved.
believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved, and thy
house." he was answered. The keep
er took them to his home, after
binding up their hurts, and was
baptized with all his household. And
he brought them food and reioiced.
fetch us OUT
When daylight came the magis-
trates sent sergeants to the prison,
saying, ''Let these men CO." But when
the Sergeants told Paul and Silas to
"gO in peace" Paul said to them,
''They have beaten us openly un-
condemned, being Romans, and have
cast us into prison; and now they do
thrust us out privily? nay, verify,
but let them come themselves and
ftech us out"
When the magistrates heard these
words, they did that very thing; went
to the prison and led Paul and Silas
forth. Can't you imagine Paul telling
that to the other disciples when he
returned, as rather an amusing story
of his journeyings?

will be able to add four persons to
the rest of his list, limited only by
the total funds available
This comes about thus: For every
widow put on old age assistance at
$25, the Federal government will pay
$3.50 of the amount. InaSmuch as
the whole sum previously paid the
widows has been appropriated to the
old age division, this will thereupon
make available to it $3.50 for each
widow transferred. This additional
$3.50 is thereupon matched by $12.-
so from the counties and the COM
bined $25 by still another $25 from
the Federal government or a grand
total of $50, which Will take care Of
four old persons with monthly pay
ments of $3.50 each. 1t would be a
real perpetual motion affair except
for the solid fact that the grand
total of the appropriation will run
out eventually.
But assuming that l 900 of the L.
100 widows are transferred, it will
enable Mr.. Yelton to put 1000 9TH
ers on the rolls.
And so that's why treatment of the
widows will be liberal Their needs
will be surveyed with a friendly eye,
Mr.. Yelton says that if the survey of
need shows that a grant of $50 a
month would be warranted by the
circumstances, then the grant of $50
will be made, In any event, no widow
need have the slightest fear that her
benefits will be cut below what she
is now receiving-the law specifical-
ly forbids that
No widow will be required to ap-
ply for the old age assistance, Mr.
Yelton emphasized. Representatives
of the old age assistance division will
automatically get in touch with each
widow now receiving pension and a
thorough survey of her needs will be
made. If this survey-which as said
will be liberal shows that she needs
as much as she is now receiving each
month by way of pension, she will be
transferred to the Old Age lists. If
the survey shows she doesn't need
that much, she will not be able to
qualify for the transfer, but will be
left just exactly where she now is
that is to say she will be left on the
pension rolls and will get her money
| just as she does now.
The survey and transfers will be
made as soon as possible, Mr.. Vel
| ton said, in order that the division
| may make out its regular Old Age
assistance budget. This cannot be
done now because there is still open
| the matter of how much money will
be available after all the widow
transfers have been made.
Mr.. Yelton smiled at published re-
ports that State Auditor George Ross
Pou is concerned with the "slowness'
with which widow transfers have
been made. He pointed out that nc
such transfers can have the slightest
| beneficial effect before July |. be-
cause none of the money for the
| transfers will be available before the
beginning of the next fiscal year

GEENRSB0R0; N. c.---By Capt. D. J. GILNER


The Amsterdam News, of
New York City, smacks certain
Negro leaders of Missouri for
endorsing the bi-university for
Negro students. The News wants
to say that Jim Crow state uni
versities is in contemp of the
United States Supreme court.
Suppose, then, state should
build and operate a university
equal to the states university,
all for Negro students, would
that be in contempt of court i?
We do not know.
Once upon a time saw a pic
ture problem. 1t read like this:
Force bate with naked hands
upon the iron gate of the Bastile
and made its reprisal in one hour
for the deeds of a ghasty crime
But force cannot beat down
the walls of public sentiment.
The only way that can be done
is by a double process - time
and the religion that all men are

The seating capacity of t h e
church, approximately 700, was
taxed to it's limit and an esti-
mated crowd of tive hundred
gathered about the entrance.
All this together with kilograms
from Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio
Virginia, and the DC, reveals
how widely scattered are his
admiring friends.
Thus in the sunshine and sha-
dows OF a perfect autumn day
were enacted the commemorate
of tributes to the memory of
fxxxxfmmmmxxjjpjjbb
che of Beckley's finest citizens.
What was done, said and sung on
that occasion, may be forgotten
soon, but the memory of that
dynamic life which made fitting
and proper those songs and say
ings can never be effaced.
To asribe perfection to a man
would be a pitiful disregard to
human frailities for Ed Morton
was intensely human and to err
is human, but his services to
his fellow man was facilitated
by that rare human quality of
being at home in all company.
His contribution to Negro bust
ness stimulus in Beckley is en-
jOyed by all who strive to erase
the liabilities in our economic
life. His love for home and
family attested by his constant
striving and indulgent attitude,
leaves a patent example which u
