His father was e Greek, and of him we know nothing, but his mother Was a Jewess, and s -he in- etnu-etect ihini well -in the scriptures ef the Old Testament, which were her l3ible. Paul knew his mother, whose name was Ermiee, end steaks (1: 5) of her faith land; of that of his grand- mother Lois. Living, in Asia Minor, in the heathen city of Lystra (Acts 16: 1-2), they hasi kept their home pure, and their hearts fix -ed in the religion of their fathers-. And 50, when Paul 'preached the gospel there they were ail -11011g first to believe.

In particular he counsels hitn to eentinue in the read- ing and „study ef tho-se holy hooks; which he had learned frein his child- hood. For they are indeed able to make wise 'unto'salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. Our lessons se.t forth three things which should characterize the Chris- tian home (1) thoughtful choise of and attention to the bas -t things, (2) an all-round education fcr-the -children, and; (3) a reverent regard for and a continued study of the Bible as the text -book of our faith. • Application. Sometimes a Christian house -hold in the midst of a commueity is 115 potent as a Christian Church.
