LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 2 Lesson Topic. --Paul an Thessalon- ica. Lesson Passage—Acts 17:1-112. G"' den Text—Psalm 119:130. (Paul and Silas, when hailed before the magistrates, made no mention of their Roanaan citizenship ; but when Heaven interposed in their behalf and caused their persecutors to fear and give an, order for their liberation and departure from the city, then came "the time for the injured serv- ants q ,God to assert ''heir rights. With dignity they refused to be thus ordered out and required the magi- strates to come themselves and open the prison doors and conduct them out. Thus would their innocence be publicly acknowledged. Galling as this would be, "they came and be- sought them., and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city." They took their time to leave now that they were held in awe and respect by the authorities. Going to the house of Lydia, they held can - verse with the members of the newly founded Church of Christ. Then they went on their way to Thessaloni- ca—the principal and most populous. city in Northern Macedonia. It would, therefore, be the headquarters of the Jews and a good starting place for the gospel in Europe. At what- ever place Paul found a synagogue he went to it on the Sabbath day. After the way they .had been abused at Philippi, it took some courage to speak for Christ at their next oppor- tunity. Paul in writing afterwards to the Thessalonians refers to this, sayiig: "But even after that we had suffered before, and were shame- fully entreated, as ye know, at Phil- lippi; we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much. contention." (I artless. 2). . s. r three successive Sabbaths Pauls theme was taken from the Old T ment. He reasoned with the Jews that "this Jesus, whioh I preach unto you, is Christ." He made it very plain from his knowledge of the Scriptures and from his own experi- ence that it was necessary the Mes- siah should suffer and die, and rise again. "The great objection which the Jews made against Jesus being the 1Vbessiah, was his , ignentinious death and sufferings; the cross of Christ was to the Jews . a stumbling block, because it did by no means agree with the idea they had• framed of the. Messiarh; Paul argued that it was necessary he should suffer ; he could not be made perfect but by suf- ferings. He xnust needs have suf- fered for us, because he could not otherwise purchase our redemption for us; and he must needs have ris- en again, because he could not other- wise apply the redemption to us." (From Matthew Henry). In spite of their prejudices against Christ, some of the Jews .believed on hearing Paul and joined company with the many Gentiles, both men and women, who were converted during these weeks. Canon Farrar says: "Few indeed were the untroubled periods of min- istry in the life of St. Paul. The Jews from first to last—the Jews for whom he felt in,his Inmost heart so tender an affection—were -destined to be the plague and misery of his suf- fering life. At Antioch sand Jerusa- lem, Jews, nominally within the fold of Christ, opposed his teaching and embittered his days; in all other cit- ies it was the Jews who contradicted and blasphemed the holy name which he was preaching. And at T•hessa- loniea he had yet a neer form of per, secution against which to contend— simply a 'brutal assault of the mob, hounded on by Jews in the back- gruond. Jealous, as usual, that the abhorred preaching of a crucified Messiah "should in a few weeks have won a greater multitude of adher- ents than they had won during many years to the doctrines of Moses--fua'- iou, above all to see themselves 'de- prived of the resoueces the reverence and the adhesion of leading women —they formed an unholy alliance with the lowest dregs of the Thessa- Ionian populace." The Apostles were dwelling with one Jason and his house was set up- on by "these lewd fellows of the bas- er sort." Not finding them there they made Jason and soiree of •the CIhristians captive and took them • be- fore the magistrates and claimed that Paul and Silas were guilty of caue4ng an uproar and also of treason. "+ ow - ever,. the magistrates contented thehn- selves'by taking ni'oiiey pledges from them that they'd keep the peace and dismiss them. Paul, Silas thought t}ias a •s�u9i'lcieiit sign that no more 4 'ssion work could be done there at the present. The brethren, there- fore, devised means to eeoure dike escape of Paul and Silas by • night. They went to Becea arid' -finding there a synagogue they joined theteselves with the 'ovorshippar;l. The reception given them iepoiced their hearts. 7n- etead of angrily rejeethig the mes- sage given by Paul about the ages - Fish, they daily anal diligently search- ed out for themselsvus proofs for the argumente advanebie Mae The result eras that many Setas believed, as well elle Greeks—nen seed roa'aimea of the mere reepeetrrb1e elegem.

The 4 ar 4 white pine rafters were mortised into the wall plate and rest- ed on 8 x 8 white pine purlanes and roof trusses. All this material as well as the white pine roof sheathing was perfectly sound and only lied to be recovered. The eavetroughs _had become decayed in places owing to the old shingles having worn away letting the water down benhind the trough. The weather vane on the steeple was of white.pine 1 inch thick x 12 inches wide and 3 feet 6 inches long, shaped as an arrow,• and only had to be replaced because boys with shotguns had so riddled it• that it was weak at the point where the iron pin ran through it, The walls of the church Were wains- cotted to a height of 4 feet with one inch clear white pine braids 12 inches to 24 inches wide, whipsawn, hand dressed and matched and over half this was sound as ever, but owing to the fact that no wood could be found to match the old, it was necessary •to remove rrpost of the old wainscotting and replace it by plaster.

But, as the Bish- op of Salisbury said in the impres- sive opening service (at which Lord Pl•uxner, High Commissioner for • Pal- estine, was present), no longer can the West seek to impress its customs and. formdrlaries on the East; each, Church must spring up freely in its own soil. "The task of the sending churches is to share, not to rule, for the missionary will only be powerful as he bears the impress of his Mlas- ter's humility.'- I have seen no sign of the super- iority complex on the part of the western delegates, nor of the infer- iority complex among the Asiatic, African, Indian or other representa- tives. 'Bishop or Quaker, American or Negro, European or Asiatic; this company, even in these opening hours, displays no cliques or classes. To all will • come right home the words with which Mr. Basil Mat- thews opened a devotional period— words Uttered two thousand years ago just down the white road leading tc the Garden of Gethsemane."

SAVE THE CHILDREN r'p In Summer When Childhood Ail- ments are Most Dangerous. Mothers who keep a box of Baby's Own Tablets in the house may feel that the lives of their little ones ire reasonably safe during the hot wea- ther. Stomach troubles, cholera in- fantutin and diarrhoea carry off thou- sands of little ones every summer, in most cases because the mother does not have a safe medicine at hand to give promptly. Baby's Own Tablets relieve these troubles, or if given oc- casionally to the well child they will prevent their coming on. The Tablets are guaranteed to be absolutely harm- less even to the n w -born babe. They are especially voila in summer be- cause they regulate the bowels and keep the stomach sweet and pure. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. OLD EDIFICE IS WONDERFUL TRIBUTE TO CANADIAN WHITE PIINE 'Old St. Thomas' Anglican Church, St. Thomas, Cit., which -was built 104 years ago, was recently renovated by the Green Limber Co., St. Thomas, who discovered some fine samples of well preserved white pine timber. Mr. Bill Green ifl a statement to Mr. Geo. Wilson of the White Pine Bureau, To- ronto, gives some interesting particu- lars about the old church and the var- ious pieces of white pine which were found in almost perfect condition. This church was built in 1824 and for many years was the only church in the community. The bricks were manufactured within a few yards of the site, and for this building only, and the masonry is still in splendid condition. The foundation walls were of field stone. At a later date the outside of the brick walls were cov- ered with rough stucco. The flooi 1 GREAT 1G," SYS RSSSELL After,. TaNn . ifrz.

First they bored a two-inch hole through the renter. Then they used a blow torch and burned this hole to a diameter of four feet.' They were then able to use wedges and chip the heart -wood out in chunks. When they got near the thin sapwood ring at the edge, they finished the job with adzes, smoothing as they worked. also the old altar rail and pulpit, but• The interior is completely equipped for housekeeping, with a built-in breakfast nook, cupboard and ward- robe. Two beds fold up against the wall, , and there are electric lights and an oil stove for cooking and heating. Mr. and Mrs. Wade have travelled over 13,000 miles in their log home since leaving Aberdeen, Washington, October 12th, 1926. More than 500,- 000 persone have inspected it. It has been exhibited at over one hun- dred schools, to more than 50,000 sc'hdol children. This log makes a particularly big impression on school children, Mr. Wade says. He carries in his house an end section of a log cut from an- other part of the tree. With this he shows how a tree grows 'by adding annual rings. School teachers consider it a valu- able exhibit educationally, and bring schools out en masse to view the log and hear -Mr. Wade tell of the forests of the Northwest. Although notice are fastened to the log asking visitors not to toueh th9 log, the bark is worn smooth in sev- eral places where the incredulous have touched it to make sure that it was a real log.

The windows and doors were all of white pine and the original front doors are still in place, as are also the sash. This sash particularly might have been expected to be in bad condition as they are of the Gothic head type with very delicate dividing bars, but the sash still slid up and down and seem likely to last many years yet. It is quite evident that had the building received proper care during the last fifty years, and been painted occasionally, most of the work would have been as good to -day as when it was erected. • - The Optimistic Editor. --Sir Ed- ward Ross, British scientist, says that the brain loses nothing by a lot of work.

WEST COAST MAN TOURS THOU- SANDS OF MILES IN HOME MADE FROM HUGE LOG A tease an the Peppermint- r avore.s singer -coated jacicer and another ase the Peppermint-vored guise inside-, utmost value in long-lasting delights A curiosity not devoid of edeication- al value is the hollowed -out log of Douglas fir, in which Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Wade, of Aberdeen, Washing -- ton, are touring the United States un- der the auspices of Pacific coast lum- ber organizations, who want their fel- low citizens in States less favored— arboreally—to see what the forests of Washington and Oregon are able to produce. Says Big Trees (Longview, Wash.) : "The log is sixteen feet long and eight feet in diameter, contains a two -loom apartment, and is mounted on a truck and trailer. Mr. Wade shows his log house in (various towns for a day or more at the request of retail dealers, who 'usually capitalize cn the log by putting an advertise- ment featuring it in their local ' pap- ers. "'When Mr. Wade moved to the State of Washington a number of years ago, he was impressed by the immense size of the Douglas fir -trees in the Northwest. As his friends in the East questioned, the statements he 'made in letteys about the size of these trees, he decided to build a house in at leg eat from one of them, and take it back Oast to show his friends that the trees were , just as large as ha said. "Going into the forest near his home, he cut a fir tree that was 311 feet high. and more than nine feet in diatneter.
