Cake as a Desert
How often has a perfect dinner or
luncheon been almost too much be-
cause a luscious cake has been served
along with a fruit or cream dessert?
The cake in itself -was so good, so -
nourishing and such a perfect end-
ing to the meal that it would have
been quite enough and one could have
appreciated its flavour more than mix-
ing it with other foods.
Chocolate Fudge Cake spells per-
fection for the lone dessert. It has all
the elements of sweetness, flavour
and nourishment and it can be made
as decorative as you please. Serve it
on a crystal plate or platter, add chop-
ped walnuts or chopped white almonds
put the fudge icing on in swirles as
shown in the illustration and the high
light of the meal is ready.
Sifted cake flour and unsweetened
chocolate are the basis of success for
such a cake as this -- and it makes
such a moist rich cake that it will
be Lovely for several days — only
it is so good you may have trouble
keeping the family from eating it all
at once.

LESSON IV. — August 30.
BEGINNING THE WORLD
MISSIONS
Acts 11:19-26; 13: 1-12.
GOLDEN TEXT — And he said unto
them. Go ye into all the world and
preach the gospel to the whole crea-

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
TIME. — The church at Antioch
was founded in 42 A.D. The mission-
ary journey of Paul and Barnabas was
in 47-'A.D.
PLACE. — Antioch was situated in
the northern part of Syria about 20
miles from the seacoast, on Orontes
River- Cyprus was an island located
in the Mediterranean Sea opposite to
and about sixty miles from Syria.
Salamis was a seaport located at the
eastern end of the island, while Pa-
phos was a seaport located at the
western extremity of the same island,
"They therefore that were scattered
abroad upon the tribulation that
arose about Stephen." This refers
back to the persecution and scattl:-'
ing of the Christians from Jerusale:
mentioned in Acts 8,4. "Travelled
far as Phoenicia". The country imp
mediately north of Palestine on the'
Mediterranean coast, part of the Ro-
man province of Syria, in which were
the great cities of Tyre, Sidon, Beirut,
and Tripolis. "And Cyrus". An island
sixty miles from the Syrian coast, and
forty-five miles from the coast of Asia
Minor, approximately thirty-five hun-
dred square miles in area, about three
times the size of the. State of Rhode
Island. "And Antioch, speaking the
word to none save only to Jews".
These missionaries were Jews them-
selves, and felt more confidence in
confining their efforts to fellow Gen-
tiles.
"But there were some of them, men
of Cyprus and Cyrene". Cyrene was a
city of Libya in northern Africa, west
of Egypt. (See Acts 2:10; 13:1). "Who,
when they were come to Antioch,
spake unto the Greeks also, preaching
the Lord Jesus". Those to whom the
Christians preached were Gentiles,
who were probably worshipping in the
Jewish synagogue in Antioch, though
they were not proselytes, i.e., they
were not Greek -Jews.
"And the hand of the Lord was with
them: and a great number that be-
lieved turned unto the Lord". No one
person is mentioned in this account
of early missionary activity. These
men were not sent out under the aus-
pices of the Jerusalem church. They
went everywhere preaching the Lord
Jesus because he was precious to
thew, because love for him filled their
hearts, because Christ had changed
them and given them new life.
"Now there were at Antioch, in the
church that was tbere, prophets and
teachers". Prophets were men inspir-
ed by the Holy Spirit with a direct
message from God (Acts 2:17; 1 Cor.
12:28; 14: 1-15). They must have been
present in most of the apostolic con-
gregations (1 Cor. 12:28, Eph. 4:11;
Acts 11:27; 15:32), and apparently
ranked next to the apostles in au-
thority. "Barnabas, and Symeon that
was called Niger". Nothing is known
of this man except that he was of
Jewish origin, as his first name indi-
cates. "And Lucius of Cyrene." This
is a Latin name, though his birthplace
or home may indicate that he was of
the Jews who abounded in Cyrene
and the other parts of northern Af-
rica. "And Manaen the foster -brother
of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. The
Herod mentioned here must have been
Herod Antipas. It should be especial-
ly noticed that the uame of Saul ap-
pears,last.He is not given first place,
even after his first missionary jour-
ney,. by the officers of the church
(15:25), Officialism is slow to recog-
nize work not done in its own way.
"And they ministered to the Lord,
and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Se-
parate me Barnabas and Saul for the
work whereunto I have called them.
It may be that the church was now
assembled together with the express
purpose of talking and praying about
the great task of carrying the gospel
to the heathen. Barnabas had already
been called of the Lord to labor
among the Gentiles.
"Then, when they had fasted and
prayed and laid their hands on them,
they sent them away". Barnabas and
Saul were not here ordained to be
apostles, they were apostles before
this. It was, however, a service of
solems dedication, in which these
men received the blessing of fellow -
Christians in the church at Antioch.
"So they, being sent forth by the
Holy Spirit". Every work for Christ
is a partnership with God. We work
together with God (2 Cor. 6:1). A
missionary not sent forth by the Holy
Spirit -ors doomed to the deepest dis-
appointment, and perhaps tragedy.
"Went down to Seleucia". The sea-
port of Antioch, at the mouth of the
Orontes River, mentioned only here in
the New Testament. "And from hence
they sailed to Cyprus". Probably the
missionary apostles were induced to
take this route because Cyprus was
the birthplace of one of them.

"And when they were at Salamis."
This was the nearest port of Cyprus
for voyagers from Seleucia located at
th eastern end of the island, and men-
tioned only here in the New Testa-
ment. ' They proclaimed the word of
God in the synagogues of the Jews:
and they hacl also John as their atten-
dant." This is not John the apostle,
the author of the fourth Gospel, but
John Mark, the author of the second
Gospel, the cousin of Barnabas. The
word here translated attendant Is used
elsewhere by Luke to designate an of-
ficer or servant of the synagogue in
Nazareth (Luke 4:20).
"And when they had gone through
the whole island". The phrase would
seem to indicate that they had preach-
ed the gospel in al] the important
places throughout Cyprus. "Unto Pa-
phos". A seaport near the western
extremity of the island, the modern
city of Buffo, and the seat of the pro-
consul, the administrative centre of
the island since its annexation by the
Romans in 58 B.C. "They found a cer-
tain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew,
whose name was Bar -Jesus." Cf. the
record of Simon the sorcerer (Acts 8:
9-25) and of Sceva (Acts 19: 11-16).
The word here translated sorcerer
simply means wise man. He repres-
ented in his single personality both
the modern fortune-teller and the mod-
ern man of science.
"Who was with the prcconsui, Ser-
gius, a man of understanding." Cyprus
was a province which had become so
thoroughly Roman as not to need the.
presence of troops, and was governed
by a civil magistrate under the rule
of the Senate, An inscription was dis-
covered at Soloi on the north coast of
this island, dated in the proconsulship
of Paulus, and probably refers to this
very person. A person like the pro-
consul, keenly interested in nature
and philosophy, would enjoy the so;
ciety of Bar -Jesus. "The same called
unto them Barnabas and Saul, and
sought to hear the word of God." Cer-
tainly this man had heard of the Jew-
ish faith and of the doctrine of one
supreme holy God. He, like great mul-
titudes of other intellectual men of
his time, was dissatisfied with the
idolatrous and sensualistic religions
of the Mediterranean world.
'Tut Elymas the sorcerer (for so is
his name by interpretation) withstood
them, seeking to turn aside the pro-
consul from the faith." The word here
translated withstood is used later by
Paul (2 Eim. 3:8; 4:15). The word
here translated to turn away means to
turn aside from the right path, to per-
vert, to corrupt.
"But Saul, who is also called Paul,"
This is the first time that we meet
the name Paul. Why he should take
this name in preference to the name
Saul is not known, but we do know
that here the great apostle 'is enter-
ing upon a new period of life, and a
new name could not be taken at a
more appropriate time than this.
"Filled with the Holy Spirit, fasten-
ed hie eyes on him, and said, 0 full ofl
all guile and all villainy," The first
word has reference to deceit, and the
second to innate wickedness. "Thou'
son of the devil, thou enemy of all;
righteousness." (Cr. John 8:44) There)
is hardly a more terrible indictment.!
of one man by another in all the Bib'a1
than this fierce denunciation proceed-
ing from the lips of the apostle Paul,;
"Wilt thou not cease to pervert the
right ways of the Lord?" The word
here translated to pervert is the same
word translated in verse eight to turn
aside.
"And now, behold, the hand of the
Lard is upon thee, and thou shalt be,
blind, not seeing the sun for a sea
sen. And immediately there fell on
him a mist and a darkness; and he
went about seeking some to lead him;
by the hand." For the expression the
hand of the Lord, see Ex. 9.3; Judgete
2:15; 1 Kings 18:46.
"Then the proconsul, when he saw'
what was done, believed, being as-
tonished at the teaching of the Lord,",
So remarkable is the conversion of a
Roman proconsul, thus early in the
history of the Christian church, that
some, including Renan, regard the
statement as absolutely incredible.
But the narrative, aside from our be-
lief in inspiration, is utterly free from
any details that would indicate the
narrative to be one written out of the
imagination of later generation.

Sleeping pajamas are so pretty
these days. And this model holds
true with today's model not only
for slim young 1, also for
their sisters in the 42but's.
The pajama illustrated has a
cool, trim neckline with a (minty
pointed collar and tricky yoke
that extends into a panel for the
bodice closing. It is exceedingly
appropriate for gardening or to
do your morning work in as the
dropped shoulder line, instead of
sleeves removes every possibility
of strain. The blouse is gathered
to the yoke in front and back
giving a flattering fullness and
smooth appearance. Try your
band at this tailored model in pol-
ka dotted silk, printed crepe,
cotton or light flannel.
