III. OFF TO BERE,1, 10-12.
INTRODUCTION --The church at 'Theo-
saloniea is one of great interest, since
it is quite likely• that Christian liter-"
atm e began 'ivith the letters which
Paul wrote to this community, of Suf-
fering believers. This was, about the
middle of the first century, ata time
when Paul had come to Corinth,' and
was so distressed about the affairs of
the little band which he had left be-
hind, that he dispatched Timothy, with
a letter, inwhich he tells thein of Isis
great love for them, of his anxiety;
and of his hope that they will remain
steadfast. It was:out of such circum-
stances as these, that the earliest.of
the letters oI /the New Testament
L' A NEW CHURCH COIVIMUNITY, 1-4.
V. 1. After traveling for thirty-
three miles along the great . Roman
road, called the Via Egnatia, •Paul,ar-
rives at, Amp•hipolis, where he -prob-
ably rested overnight, leaving next
morning for Apo11onia, another jour-
riot' of thirty miles. After another
thirty-seven miles he comes' to Thes-
calonica, where hemakes a longer
stay, It would seem' es if this dis-
tance represented the average for a
day's journey, no;sanalVfeat in 'the
exercise off. walking. From the re-
mark that there, was a synagogue of
the Jews at- Thessalenic we may cwrt-.
;elude that Paul passed.; through the
other cities, because there were none
of his own people ;there to "form the.
beginning' of 'a church. Thessalonica
was named° aftee; the daughter , of
Philip of Macedon add was a seaport
of considerable importance- The press
ent name is Saloniki, and it had some
prominence in the, Great War.
V. 2. Pawl follows his usual prac
face, and his preaching' makes so pro-
found an impression that they. ask'
him•to return the following Sabbath.
His •sermon wasan exposition on dif-
ferent paasages.of the Old Testament
Scriptures. Further light is thrown
on this if'y e read 1 Thess. 1:5e8; 2:7.
V. 3. The main purpose of his ser
mon was to 'show how Christ is re-
vealed to them in the Q1d Testament,
The. most; difficult fact in this Chris-
ti -an inersage was the cross and many
were the attacks' made on these Chris-
tians for having a Saviour .'who had
suffered' such shame arid/ indignity.
' Accordingly, Paul brings 'out proof'
passages to show that the -prophets
had told beforehand of the suffering.
which the Messiah must suffer.
V. 4. A. small number of the Jews
joined the new sseet, but there was a
great response . from the . Gentiles,
while some of the women, likely some
of the wives of slime of the leaders of
the city, were deeply impreseed and
recognized the higher teaching of Paul
•and Silas.'.•
Ii. TETE INEVITABLE ATTACKS, 5-9.
V. 5. The•,Jewish leaders, being 'Un-
able
fn able to find any just cane f,,r arrest-
' lug Paul and Silas determine to ap-
peal to the lower glasses of the city.
They go out, into the market places
'where there were crowds of loungers
and p.m. -suede them, possibly with
money, to start a riot by assaulting
the house of Jason,.. in search for the
new preachers.
V. 0. The charge brought against
them is that they are disturbers- of
the r+ea'ce.; This is ecid'enee that Paul
must have made - a considerable ins -
pression on the town. The Jews had
doubtless heard of, the new seret from
"- their friends at Jerusalem and Phil
ipri.
V. 7. See Light, from the East.
Paul's Jewish enemies pointed out that
Paul as preaching about the coming
of a riew kingdom or rule, suggesting
that this new king would be a rival
to Caesar,
V. '9. The magistrates were evident-
ly, reaeonoble men, and saw that
, there Was no real ':souse of offence,
Accorctginely they take, as we would
sae. bail. of .Tason, making hint give
pledges for the:goolbconduct of him-
,' self and his guests.
STI. OFF TO BEIREA, 10.12.
V 1.0. The Christiania are anxious
to secure Paul and -Silas from arrest,
and they secretly send them off by
night, probably against the wishes of
Paul, who desired to remain and
share their dangers. The persecution
which broke out after his departure
caned him great anaciety,sand made
him Very eager to return, as we see
from 1', These.' 2:18.
V. 11. Berea lay south of Thessal-
once. and is nowa town of 20,000.
We are told that the inhabitants were
more noble,,whibh likely means more
generous and open-minded, and many
of them were converted and devoted
themselves to the Careful study ofthe
scriptures..

Problem Said
to be Selling
Must Sell in ;Volume What
Mass Methods Produce, ..
Says Motor Official
• Greater production moans work;
work means wages; wages', moan coil-
suming power. Thus is Vie. cycle of
biusiness prosperity outlined by Floyd
A. Allen, of the Genre',' Motors Cor
Portion, discussing "Trends and Poll -
cies 'In Modern Business," before Mem-
bers of the Rotary Club in Boston.
Advocating complete reversal of old
methods In business and the unlearn-
ing ofmany' old. traditions and habits,
as the leading tactors in the modern
revbiwtiouizing of business, Mr, Alien
stressed the urgent need of fair play
and simple business: ;.
"The old idea to reduce costs and
expense of doing, business by .reducing
wages seemed, logical," said Mr, Allen,
"but now it is the' policy to increase
wages and -the queer thing about it la
that It works, for all .that it appears
paradoxical and -inconsistent.
"We believe it, pays to prontotethe
individual ," prosperity et our 'employ-
ees. + In that way, we increase ,their,
consuming kower;"and while we cane
not 'solve the problem of mass con
sureptien for the whole country, it
stili has its effect in increased pro-
duction.:
"Volume must be increased in order
to' maintain a satisfactory net .profit.
at the` end of the year and this.Idea
is back of the. epidemic -'of mergers
and combinations and chain store sys-
tems tliat 1s growing all over the coun-
try's So the nrobiem facing business
men to -day is largely oneof • selling
and advertising' and distribution of
goods, because -we seem to have whip-
ped the problem sof mass production
In all lines, but we have not solved the'
problem of mass consumption., Our
job now seems to be to .scientifically
dispose of these goods that we so sci-
entifically manufacture.
"Five factors contributing to busi-
ness success to -day are the employees,
the agent in the field, the stockholder,
the source of supply add theepublic.
Fair play is the basis. We have to
play fair, with the public. ; . The old
proverb. 'Let the buyer bewar,e' is
obsolete by to -day's code of ethics in
business: I say; `Let the seller- be-
ware,' whether -tie is selling a yard
of goods across the counter, whether
lie is selling agrioulturai machinery,
or real estate' or automobiles, because
he has more at stake than the buyer."
"Complete knowledge of the busi-
ness is a fundamental' essential to suc-
cess," edntinued Mr. Allen, "knowing
the'faats of our business, the facts of.
engineering, .the facts of production,
the, facts of Sales and advertising and
the facts' of finance, and we cannot
guess on any one of them, because it
is not safe nowadays. We can take
nothing for granted."
Men• at' the top of Uig business to
day, he pointed ',lutarealize that lead-
ership can be maintained only by the
most extreme care, by the most watch-
ful vigilance, by getting every point
and having the best brajns they 'can

On every singleanglo,of every preb
lem, so -that they ban see it in its en-
tirety. . "And so long as. that kind of
policies continues in.big':b.usinese," he
concluded, "so long I think big bust-
noes is safe." -
Beauty for
the.S orts Girl
At one -time the open-air sports
girl could ugually be singled- out of
'a 'crowd- by her weather-beaten com-
plexion. Sunburnt -often with the red,
unbecoming sunburn, .freckled, and
with coarsened skin, she 'proclaimed
to the world - that she thought more -
of games than of beauty.
That is now a thing of the past.
Given reasonable care, it is possible.
to 'spend the greater part of the day
playing games in the hottest -sunshine
and yet emerge tit the evening, for
theatre or dance, witha complexion
thatanybody might envy.

Nearly
osqueitoss"Nearly Drove Him
Crazy
Winnipeg, Man.—Andrew Taylor,
well known prospector who was re-
scued atter wandering lost in North-
ern Manitoba for 48 days,_. told Ins
story from a hospital cot here recent-
.
ecent.
, Help came just in time. Taylor
had exhausted his available food sup-
ply, even the dead fish and frogs, and
he had no More strength to hunt for
the elusive trail he had lost more
than a month previously.
Three matches, a pail, a penknife
and an axe, were the only thinge in.
itis- possession when he became lost.
He 'tried to light a beacon fire. and ex.
hausted 'his meagre match supply.
Then he got hungry and saw a part-
ridge and 'threw his axe at it. The
handle of the axe snapped near the
blade and the bird escaped.
•Taylor did everything within his
power to get food. He ate dead fish,
white grubs and once robbed,a nest
of young birds. He did not find
many berries, but what he got tdsted
like "strawberries and cream."
"I seemed - to travel hundreds of
miles the first day," aaid Taylor, with
a smile. "I Crosse lakes and rivers
and took off my cloths, placing them
on a pole, aware with them before
me-"
His boots did not last long. When
the solea• gave out he cut oft the:up-
pers and made them into moccasins.
Constructed Raft
Arriving at. Burntwood Lake after
wandering nearly a month, the pros-
pector built himself a raft with only
a penknife and his bare bards for
tools. After days of labor the ram-
shackle raft was completed and Ise
paddled across the lake, thence push-
ed eastward. His hopes were soon
shattered, however, for ever before
him was the unending forest tracts
with no "big waters" to carry- him
safely to civilization. Black 5105 and
mosquitoes•neariy drove him crazy.
Taylor was not going to give . up
without an effort. Everywhere he
went he lett, notes and Indications of
his whereabouts. As time went on
Ms courage was slowly snapped and
he began to write farewell letters on
birchtiark. One of these was ad-
dressed to his wife, residing in Tim-
mins, Ont. It asked her to bury him
wherever his body was . found. An-
other shortly!Afore his rescue gave
instructions for getting in touch with
Isis relatives.
As the days wore into weeks, he got
back his "nerve" and set about trying
to make s himself comfortable. At
eight Ise slept in the lee of a tree
clump, and in the daytime he would
plunge through the forest and muskeg.
One day he saw an airplane over-
head and tried to attract its attention.
"God, it wasawful when I realised
they hadn't seen me," he said.
"But I'm back' now," he continued
with a grin. "I'm away from those
black Meg. They still have chunks
of me back in the unknown. But
there:.ls stili enough of me to finish
what I started. The north countiriyii
is a great place if you know how to
treat her."
