He banged on the door. "Say, in

"I ain't got no friend sendin'. me no

door rasped roughly. "What d'yuh

And a vision appeared to Paul in
the night. God will guide us in this
way, perhaps, if we are his obedient
children; and if not in this manner,
a then in other waysas plain. There
r was a man of Macedonia standing,
- The vision was probably a result of
conversations which Paul had had
with Luke regarding the Wisdom of
evangelistic work in Macedonia. ]3e-
seeching .him, and saying, Come over
into Macedonia, and help us. Through
all the ages the gospel has advanced
because Christian people have seen

!not tell which she had taken from the
shelf the evening before.
Old Charley sat upon his horse,
leaning slightly forward, his belliger-
ent
elligerent eyes on a thin thread of smoke
which came from a clump of oak and
mesquite, half a mile beyond the eas-
tern boundary of his ranch. He had
just noticed that thread of smoke.
The old man rnttn to the top of a
small Bill, aver which the fence pass-
ed, dismounted, and, kicking off lei,
chaps, studied a mesquite tree which
served as a post in the fence. Then,
with much grunting and many scan-
dalous remarks rc:garding thorns he
hauled his heavy body part way up
the tree. From his new position he
could see the origin of the smoke.
One look told him much and his re-
marks increased in volume and tem,
perature as he descended. •
The land from which the thread of
smoke arose .was free land --govern-
ment homestead land, It joined the
Thane ranch on the west and the
Dead Lantern property on the north,
extending eastward as far as the
highway. Since Will had been a boy,
Old Charley had plannecl for him to
use his homestead rights to acquire
this excellent piece of property, It
would snake a„ wonderful pasters -
deep in grass and shade and having
several natural ;sites for watering
places. T;tt when Will had come of
age he was in college, And when he
finished college he went into busi-
ness—never did Will have six 'eontin-
' ous' months during 'which he could
1
live on this property, intake the te-
gttired improvements, and so become
owner of it. •
And now it . appeared that some
confounded foreigner was intent on
a .king this property away from Viii:111
the Macedonian call. ' r
And when he had seen the vision,
straightway. Prompt obedience is
double obedience. Sought to go forth
into Macedonia. They had to look
around the harbor fora boat going
in that direction; perhaps they had
to wait for such a boat to arrive. Con-
cluding that God had called us to
preach the gospel unto them. No
matter how noble' the purpose, it
must be thought out before it is en-
tered.upon, or it will not succeed.
And we were in this city tarrying
certain days. In doing arty work it
is wise to make a preliminary recon-
noissance.
And on the Sabbath Day. Our Sat-
urday', the Jewish day of rest and
worship, when Paul would be sure of
an audience. We went forth without
the gate by a river. The river was
the Gangites, which flowed into the
larger Strymon. Where we supposed
there was a place of prayer. For the
sake of privacy, they were as often
as possible outside' the cities, And we
sat down, Thus denoting that they
were prepared to teach. And spake
unto the women and children that
were come together; The absence of
male Jew$ proves how much Phillippi
was the Roman colony."
And a certain woman named Lydia.
As she came front the .Asiatic prov-
ince of Lydia, some would,. translate
this "a certain Lydian woman." A
seller : of purple. Purple cloth, dyed
with the rich hue. One that worship-
ped -God. She was originally a heath-
en, but as the word signifies, had
come over to the Jewish faith, Heard

give heed unto the things which
were spoken by Paxil. Credit kr her
conversion is not given to Pattl, bttt

And,''hen she was baptized, and
her household. This is characteristic
of all conversion; it seeks to convert
those around, it, and it begins with
those nearest and dearest of the
home, 'She besought us. It was no
cold and formal invitation,: but an
earnest entreaty, real hospitality, ev-
idently from the heart, Saying, If ye
have judged me to be faithful to the
Lord, come into my house, and abide
there, Lydia gave her hospitality as
if she were asking a favor,
Butt about midnight Paul and Silas
were praying and singing hymns un-
to •God. It seemed strange that Patil,
so full of nerves, so buffeted and
trampled on by the world which he
longed to help, could be so happy.
And we can, and should'.follow his
example. And the prisoners were lis-
tening to them. The Greek implies
that they were listening intently, 'and
no wonder.
And suddenly there was a great
earthquake, so that the :foundations
of the prison -house were shaken. As
the earth was shaken at Christ's cru-
cifixion' d 1 1 h
anlater w ren i e epostles
were. praying (Act 4; 31), so here
Paul and Silas were praying. And im-
mediately all the doors were opened;
and: every one's bands were loosed.
The prisoner's chains were fastened
to staples in the stone or brick walls,
which would fall out as the earth-
quake cracked the walls.

Teeth are required to chew food

The dentist should be visited twice

Unless -the teeth and gums are car-

infection is not so much the damage

that is bad enough,', but rather that
the infection may spread to'other
parts of the body and cause serious
harm to vital . organs.
Many people do not enjoy the de-

that the food is not properly chewed'.
