certain days" Fhfs was a most i'm
portant city. To capture it meant
a real victory. God had planned that
Christianity should be spread
throughout the world. 1t is a true
saying that as the city goes, so goes
a nation. Paul took time to lay the
foundations for Christian work
while he and his helpers ''were abid-
ing there certain days"
V. 13. "And on the Sabbath we
went out of the city by a riverside,
where prayer was wont to be made
and we sat down and spake unto the
women which resorted thither." 1t
is significant that the women had
a prominent place in the new Euro
pean church and that ever since
they have been in the majority in
Christian service. Note that pray
er was wont to be made 1t takes
prayer and not organization to
bring in the kingdom of God.
V. IA. "And certain women
named Lydia, seller of purple, of
the city of Thyatira, which wor-
shipped God, heard us; whose heart
the Lord had opened, that she at
tanned unto the tnlngS Wnlcn were
spoken of Paul" 1t turned out that
the man of Macedonia who said
Come over and help us" was a
woman. Lydia was an ideal wor-
shipper. She was attentive to the
message, kept her heart open to the
Lord, pondered the things she
heard, and finally responded in a
spirit of utter consideration.
V. Is. "And when she was bap-
tized, and her household, she be-
sought us, saying, If We. have judg-
ed me to be faithful unto the Lord,
come into my house, and abide
there. And she constrained us
True religion will find place in
the house where there will be the
abiding presence of God.

The Gospel is Taken into Europe
Acts 16:6-15, for Sunday, July g.
In this lesson we have the con-
densed report of Paul second mis-
sioIary journey. He started out
from Antioch of Syria, the base OF
his missionary work, taking with
him at first Barnabas. But as Bar
nabas insisted on taking Mark with
them, Paul preferred to go alone
for Mark hal deserted him on his
fist missionary trip. But Paul
picked up Si:as on the way and was
joined at T1oas by Luke who then
was his physician. Timothy was
also good co-worker on this Sec
Ond journey.
V. 6. "Now when they had gone
throughout Phrygja, and the region
cf Galatia. and were forbidden by
the Holy Ghost to preach the word
in Asia. Paul evidently planned to
revisit the chdrches esta ablished on
his first missionary journey, taking
with him good helpers. but God
planned it otherwise. Man proposes
God disposes.
Mysia, they assayed to go into By
thinia, but the Spirit suffered them
not" Evidently Paul was quite
persistent in carrying out his plan,
but it is futile to try to work against
Gods plans.
V. s. "And they passing oy Mysia
came down to Troas." Troas was
Paul's extremity-the last town in
Asia. 1t was either go on over into
Europe or give up. But Paul was
determined to be faithful to death
and so he came to Troas. Here is
good philosophy-Do your best and
then trust God for the rest.
V. 9. "And vision appeared to
Paul in the night; There stood a
man of Macedonia, and prayed him.
saying, Come over into Macedonia
and help u.s." Likely Paul was much
in prayer, for Gods visions usually
came to men of prayer. Paul, who
was well-informed, may have felt
the need Of taking the gospel be-
yond the borders of Asia, for Wis
ion is born out of real need. The
Macedonian cry is the missionary
cry of all ages. The Paul of today
can hear it from India, China, and
all the needy nations of the world.
v. 10. "And after he had seen
the vision, Immediately we endeav-
ored to go into Macedonia, assured
ly gathering that the Lord had call
ed us for to preach the gospel unto
them AS soon as divine guidance
was manifested to them, this mis-
sionary group Immediately sought
to follow it. When God calls, it is
a dangerous thing to hesitate. Many
q soul is lost just that way.
v. II. Therefore loosing from
Troas, we came with straight
course and not detour by land. 1t
is the detours that thwart many a
good mans success.
VIZ "And from thence to Phil
lipi, which is the chief city Of that
part of Macedonia, and a colony;
and we were in that city abiding

 Well Organized System
 The Senators and Deputies have a well organized grapevine system for communicating bad news of the Vichy regime to their constituents. Most of them are in Vichy as '.refu- gees" and will keep other Senators and Deputies informed of develop ments in their home districts.
 Members of parliament have drop ped their petty partisan quarrels and have all but formed a solid bloc of opposition to Vichy.
 The parliamentary opposition was backed by Communist agitation which, despite more than 5000 ar- rests has continued an extraordinar- fly intense propaganda against Vichy, not only among workers but in all strata of society.
