other coast cities went to work in

THE S. S. LESSON
INTERNATIONAL LESSON,
MAY 18.
Lesson VII. ,Paul's First Missi'oa-
my Journey. Golden Text,
Psalm 96: 5.
Introduction. — Tho greater the'
work a man endeavors to do, the
greater the obstacles that he will
meet, and the more numerous they
will be. It is a principle of phy
sits that resistance increases a
the square of the velocity. Paul'
work, like that of all true Chris
bans, was very great, and therefor
it encountered formidable ob
staeles. But these hindrances wer
overcome, in Ohrist's strength; and
the process of overcoming them
strengthened Paul, as it will
strengthen es.
I. The Obstacle of Disobedience.
—Vs. 1-7, Whither did the mission-
aries -flee when driven from Ante
*oh 1 To Iconium, about seventy -
Sive miles southeast. For most of
the way they traveled along the
great Roman road connecting Anti-
och with Lystra, turning from it to
the left before reaching Lystra.
Iconium was an important com-
mercial city, situated among luxur-
iant orchards. The Seljuk Turks
.made it the capital of their em-
pire. The modern town, still called
Xenia, is greatly` shrunken. It is
the terminus of a railway to the
Bosphorus.
II, The Obstacle of Temptation
to Pride.—Vs. 8-18. To what new
surroundings did Paul and Bar-
nabas go? To a region of Lycao-
moria, region being a technical term,
a part of the country "consisting
of two cities and a stretch of city -
less territory (i.e,, territory organ-
ized on the native ,pre -Greek vil-
lage system)." Lystra was the ca-
pital of Lycaonia, Wolf -land, the
name being supposed to be derived.
from Lycaon, who was transformed
into a wolf -a name well befitting
the inhabitants, The missionaries
went theither "as sheep in the
midst of wolves" (Matt. 10 10). It
was a wild region, cut off by the
Taurus from the, more cultivated
Cilicia and Pisidia. It was adreary
plain, destitute of trees and fresh
water, with only salt lakes.
III. The Obstacles of Hatred and
Persecution, — Vs. 19-28. What
shows the intensity or the opposi-
tion Paul had aroused In Antiooh 1
That his enemieshad followed him
up, though it was amore than one
hundred utiles by road, ''Woo unto
yon," said Christ; "when all men
s
s
e
Murch -had been greatly enlarged,
speak well of yon 1"' "One must
be somebody in order to have an
enemy. One must be a force before
he can be resisted by another i
force." .
How did Paul's enemies succeed 4
They persuaded the people, Per-
haps, as the stoning of Stephen
must have moved Paul toward
Christianity, the stoning of Paul t
was the turning point in the life of t
Timothy. The young man may have g
'been among the disciples who stood
round about him, to give what aid p
they could, and care for his body a

fellowship had been enlarged to a • d

broadened the horizon of the home' in

Now, Canada presents herself to

exceedingly favorable, light. Each
comes to better his 'material con-
dition; and unless he is incompet-
ant, or worse, he suooeeds. Fin-
ancial prosperity will go a long
way to reconcile a man to the in-
stitutions of au alien country. But
the Galician and the American find"
something more than better finan-
cial prospects. ' .The Galician be-
comes a new man. The bugbear of
military service does not rise up
behind him, or before his children.
He is in a world of unexpected in
dependence, He knows nothing
about the Empire, and he cares less.
But Ise Boos learn something about
Canada, and contentment with, aril
devotion to ,the land of his adop-
tion are as much as can reasonably
be expected from him for some time.
A British imperial instinct cannot
be created in him in a moment.
The American is very different
from the Galician. He- thinks he has
observed England through the as-
sertions of the Declaration of In-
dependence, and through the conon-
ets achieved by various heiresses.
whom he knows by repute. He was
brought up in the tradition that
Canada never did and never could
mount to much; and, when he be-
ame convinced that the country
ad fertile lands, good markets and
oscellent dividends to offer for his
enterprise, he moved in, still think -
ng of the United States as the first,
econd and third country of all the
world.
But in Western Canada he finds
imself in an atmosphere more
greeable than he expected. If he

FOUNDER OF BOY SCOUTS.
General Baden-Powell Great Be-

There is no greater believer in
the possibilities of the : boys of'
Great Britain than Lieutenant-
General
ieutenant-
General. Baden-Powell, the founder
of the troops of boy scouts through-
out the country. And there is no
more picturesque personality in
military annals to -day than the
man who has shown.boys that
while "playing at soldiers" they
can gain. great knowledge, and de-
velop their bodies while developing
their minds. Not only is the de-
fender of Mafeking a brilliant sol-
dier, but he is a very fine Artist, as
well as aotor. Once, when quar-
tered at Aldershot, a man, anxious
to draw the General's attention to
some gun, always waylaid him on
his afternoon walk. This hap-
pened so often shat the General
one day disguised himself as a
navvy previous to going out for his
usual walk. On his way back he
encountered the man. Slouching.

cious expression, he strolled up to
him. "Are you the chap wot's
looking for Baden-Powell ?" he
asked. "For if you are, he has
sent me out to keep the road clear
