Lesson l'aasage — Actal 16:1-J; Phil. 2:19-2.2; 2 Tint. 1:1-6, 3; 14, 15. Golden Text -1 'Tim. 9:12. All our information about Timothy is gathered from the New Testa- ment, and largely from the writings of Paul and of Luke in his narrative of the journeyings of Paul and his companions. It is from the latter (Acts 16:1-3) that we gather that Timothy was born at either Derbe or Lystra, and that it was at one of these places Paul made his acquaint- ance. More is written about his mother, Eunice, and his grandmother Lois, than about his father. In 2 Tim- 1-5, we read of the character of these two women, that their Chris- tian piety was of a high order and that they had given young Timothy careful training, instructing him in the holy scriptures. His mother was a Jewess, married to a Greek, but the law against such a marriage was not very strictly en- forced by the Jews who lived in the midst of heathen nations. The fath- er was evidently not unfriendly to the Jewish religion, as he had not hindered the mother seeing to the re- ligious education of their son. (2 Tim. 3:15. "From a child thou hast known the holy scriptures." He was evidently quite a young man when Paul met him first, about A.D., 52, for in writing to' Timothy (1' Tim. 4:12) he says: "Let no man despise thy youth." It is known too that he was at this time a convert to the Christian religion as was also his mother (Acts 16:L) The gospel had been preached some six or seven years before this by Paul and Barna- bas in Lystra and Iconium. Timothy had come under the notice of the Christians there and was "well re- ported" by them to Paul when he was there the second time. Paul war drawn to Timothy, as he was to all likely young men, with the a- vowed object of making them not only disciples but ministers. We gather that some of the things that led Paul to induce Timothy to become his co -laborer and travelling com- panion were: (I) his youth; (2) his knowledge of the Scriptures; (3) his talents. (4) his popularity among the church members; (5th) his amia- bility of temper. In Acts 16:3 we see how Paul chose him as his per- sonal helper and, in order to satisfy the prejudices of the Jews, and to meet any possible objections to his being called to fill the office of a min- ister, Paul circumcised him and for- mally set him apart by the laying on of hands. (1 Tim. 4:14). Paul and Silas and now Timothy proceeded on their journey establish- ing Lite churches and adding to them daily such as should be saved. In the course of time, they, in answer to an invitation given by a man of Macedonia seen in a vision by Paul, reached Philippi. In this city after a time Paul and Silas were put in prison, but no mention is made of like treatment being meted out to Timothy and Luke, who was now of the company also. On being releas- ed they got as far as Berea from which place Paul proceeded alone to Athens, where he waited some time until joined by the others. He com- missioned Timothy to go alone back to Thessalonica to visit and comfort the church there: "And sent Tim- otheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellow -laborer in the Gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith" (1 Thess. 3:2). This action spoke well for the progress made in the life and work of the ministry thus far by young Timothy. Then later on his growth in doctrine was acknowledged by Paul, for he addres- sed him as "my son in the faith" and besought him to stay on at Ephesus when he went into Macedonia again. He wished him to see that the Chris- tians of Ephesus ',teach no other doctrine, neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which min- ister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith" (1 Tim. 1:3-4). He had been at this time some six nr seven years sitting at the feet of Paul. The later events of Timothy's life are less known. There seems to be no mention of his being with Paul the two years he was in prison at. Ceaarea. It is cer- tain though that he was with him in Rome when he wrote his epistles to the Philippians and Colossians and to Philemon, for in each case he couples the name of Timothy with his own in the first verse of each epistle. During Paul's second im- prisonment at Rome he wrote urging Timothy to come to Rome, "Do thy diligence to come before winter." There were certain, things he espe- cially wanted and charged Timothy to take with him: "The cloak that I left at Throes with Carpus, when Restored to Health By Taking " toit-a-fixes' Made of Fruit Juices :and Tonics: The most convincing proof of the true worth of " Frult•a-tives" as a , medicine for women is found in the letters wrttiin by them to "Fruit-a- tives". For Instance: "I suffered with all the symptoms of female trouble, pains low down in the back and sides, constipation and constant headache. A doctor advised an operation. ' I started taking "Fruit-a-tives" and this fruit medicine completely relieved me of all my misery". 81 rs. M. J. GORSE, Vancouver, B.C. 500. a box, 6 for $2.50, trial size 25o.

If Timothy mule his jouris y it is quite probably he witnessed l'aul's martyrdom. The friendship which sprang up be- tween these twit was frequently re- ferred to in warm terms by Paul, even using th• endearing term of "beloved son," „di expressing a long- ing desire to -ee him, and even re- ferring to the tears which Timothy shed on one „elusion when leaving him. There is nes authentic record of Timothy's later life, but tradition says he became "Bishop of Ephesus," that he died there and was buried there, but that afterwards his bones were taken to Constantinople. Of this we are sure that his early train- ing at his mbther's knee had much to do with his subsequent excellent character and his eminent Christian life. OPPORTUNITY AND RETRENCH. MENT (By Dr. Kenneth A. Baird) It is true to -day as it was not five years ago,—even more true than two years ago—that the people are wil- ling, and in many cases anxious to hear the Gospel. One of our veteran missionaries returned from furlough this year, and was surprised at the change for the better even since he went\ home, One of our ordained missionaries has a tent and a group pf Chinese evangelists at work in a district where there are about 8,000,000 peo- ple living in various cities and about 2,000 villa-ges. In a good many of these there ape little groups of Chris- tians who invited him to send some- one to instruct them more fully and to preach to their friends. Whether invited or not, there are but few villages where the evange- lists cannot preach to a full tent ev- ery night for a week to an audience that is orderly and willing to learn of the doctrine. This part of the field of North Ho - nen would scarce be fully occupied with five foreign workers and ten tents with a group of Chinese evan- gelists to preach in each tent; and it would take such an increased staff five or ten years to preach the Gos- pel in each village one week. e • * Two years ago there were eighteen foreign missionaries engaged in ev- angelistic work in North Bonen. In I view of the increasing opportunity to win Chinese to accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, it was felt the missionaries were very conserva- tive in asking for sixteen more evan- gelists in the next five years. To -day there is one new evangelis- tic worker at language study, and two of the former workers are no longer with the Mission. It is a most tremendous and awe- inspiring thing to face a dead ripe harvest of human souls, and observe the number of reapers decreasing where it ought to innlrepae, ,.- Ourfathera prayed that the non . Christian lands might open to wel-., come the Gospel; God has answered their prayers—and ours --and we are breaking faith with Him by not ent- ering inl ROCKEFELLER, GREATEST OF ALL PHILANTHROPISTS In twenty years the Rockefeller en- dowed philanthropic funds have paid out' or pledged (with cash in hand to fulfill the pledges) an aggregate of $186,882,674. This fact is brought out in connection with the recent is- suing of the first report of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial. The capital contained in the Rockefeller trust funds for philanthropy is to -day $383,278,041, including an estimated $15,000,000 for the Rockefeller In- stitute for Medical Research. The Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memor- ial is shown, in its report, to have distributed $9,361,871 from its founding, four years ago, down 'to the end of 1922, The Rockefeller Foundation has disbursed $76,757,- 040 in its ten years of existence. The total amount of gifts of the third big Rockefeller donating organiza- tion, the General Education Board, I is $97,216,774 in payments or pledges. In Memory of His Wife. Chronologically, the Laura Spel- man Rockefeller Memorial is the last of the four important Rocke- feller funds. Its purposes are chari- table and philanthropic. The recent summary of its work, covering the period up to December 31st, 1922, showed that the total income to that date was $13,005,048.85. Ar ad- dition to the actual distribution of $9,361,871.12, the memorial prom- ised $3,496,888.66, to be paid on the fulfillment of conditions. After the deduction of $43,801.81 for adminis- trative expenses, there' was a mar- gin of .income over outgo to the ex- tent of $712,427.25: As in all the Rockefeller funis, the directors have the privilege of spending the principal as well as the interest. Each of the Rockefeller funds is op- erated independently. These bene- factions represent a total investment of approximately four-fifths of the $500,000 000 which John D. Rocke- feller put into charitable and philan- thropic work up to 1921. According to official figures down to date, the principal represented in the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial is $73,875,457.67. The principal of the General Education Board is $129,- 197,960. The principal of the Rocke- feller Foundation was $182,704,624, but from this principal $17,500,000 has been given, in addition to gifts from interest, the residue principal being $165,204,624. The General Education Board's last report for the year ending June 30th, 1922, showed that from its foundation its appropriations of $53,- 469,022 to 297 educational institu- tions required the beneficiaries to raise $190,137,914 .more for the cause of education. These were general endowments, aside from spe- cial gifts to schools of education and medicine. In the year covered by the report the appropriations from the general and teachers' salary funds were $5,124,083, given to sixty-five institutions, which agreed to raise $9,981,667 more. A twenty- year review shows that the board has paid $44,772,573 besides ap- propriating $62,444,200 more to be paid as conditions are filled, an ag- gregate of $97,216,773. The purpose of the Rockefeller Foundation is "to promote the well-being of man- kind throughout the world," and a map of its activities covers both hemispheres. Its work has become largely medical and its subsidiary departments include the Interna- tional Health Board, the China Medical Board and the Division of Medical Education, No announcement has ever been made of the size of the fund which created the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, but in the 1920-21 edition of Who's Who in America, material for which is generally sup- plied by the subjects of the bio- graphical sketches, the institute's en- dowment is mentioned as $15,000,000. Mr. Rockefeller's itemized gifts, ac- cording to the same authority, in- clude an original fund of $43,000,- 000 for the General Education Board, supplemented by $32,000,000 in 1907; $125,000,000 to the Rockefeller Foun- dation, and $23,000,000 to the Uni- versity of Chicago. The donated fund, plus interest, does not always represent the working fund of a big benefaction. The General Education Board, for instance, received an addi- tional $50,000,000 from Mr. Rocke- feller in 1919, to be used in co-opera- tion with colleges for the increase of teachers' salaries. The gift was in securities and the security market slumped. As a result,`, the board, adopted $40,000,000 as its working base valuation of the $50,000,000 gift. A study of its work for 1922 alone shows the endowment of medical chairs in China, a promise of $1,128,000 for a college of medicine in Iowa, contributions to medical schools in Canada, Brazil and Siam; a survey of medical schools in Aus- tria, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Hun- gary, Poland and Switzerland; the despatch of visiting physicians of eminence to various countries, in- cluding Salvador and the Philip- pines; a visit to the United States by a Strasbourg commission, emerg- ency aid to the Pasteur Institute of Paris and many other European institutions, the contribution of $2,000,000 toward a school of hy- giene in London, co-operation with American States, counties and towns and similar field work in Porto Rico, Nicaragua, Brazil, Palestine, Aus- tralia and the Philippines; support to medical divisions of the League of Nations, the provision of fellow- ships for students in twenty-three countries and aid to the public health administration of various na- tions. Mr. Rockefeller's initial en- dowment to the Foundation was $100,000,000 and his total -gifts have beep $182,704,624. WOMANSUFFERED FOR- MONTHS Weak and Nervous. Made Well by Lydia E.
