MOW THE BOBIM GOT A BED
BREAST
A letter from the Land of Flower®
telle me that spring has fairly opened,
that the birds are singing and that there
are plenty of people through with the’r
first ploughing. Last week Mrs. Felton
told us about the beautiful weather she
was enjoying in St. Petersburg and let
ter from a friend in St- Petersburg says.
“You remember how you enjoyed the
Xaat ride from Crescent City to Jacksou
»ilie? These balmy February day
bring back the memories of the sky, wa
ler an<T shores along that route. For
pure, unadulferajed rest, for the bliss
that the Lotus Eaters enjoyed, com
mend ire to a day on a Florida river
.steamboat Positively, when we listen
ed we could imagine a chorus of song
sters were hidden along the shore to
let the winds waft to us their melody
From »ong birds along the Florida
rivers to Alabama is a long jump, but
that's the beauty of having a mind
that can bridge distances. That is a
God-given blessing and one for which
we seldon* thank Him.
Friday, as we rode along the lanes.
The Farmer and I. we saw a bluebird,
and a little farther on we saw another,
the land is a little heavy for ploughing
but on several homesteads we saw the
gardens being ploughed or men repay
ing fences an<9 when we saw the blue
birds we decided, that spring has real
ly started up this way.
A pair of redbirds came to the chicken
yard, and tn the barn every time the
ground is covered with snow, so 1 am
quite sire that they live in the cedars.
This morning the sunshines and tht
wind has ceased. 1 hear the sparrows
and the jaybirds, another bird that I’ve
not seen Is calling to Its mate and
I long to take a Held glass and find it
A day in the woods could be most de
lightfully spent, but there are duties
that must be glossed over and called
pleasures, you know. Yet be
today a mixture for the song vs these
birds, the letter from Florida and Mrs
Felton's St. Petersburg letter can help
all of us.
There are people who plod along Hke
driven cattle and never see a sunset to
admire ib nor hear a bird to enjoy the
<ong. Having eyes lbev ’ ee nol - ,r1
with their ears they hear not. Sunrh-e
or sunset means to such people mile
rosts along a day ? wqrk. And their
minds are either dormant or filled with
the grosser things of life.
"Spring Is here." I once said to a
woman. “Yes. " was’ the answer, "and
rrom now.on I’Ve got to fight hawks.
-Yes.''. I replied; “but you have the
birds to sing to you. and the joy of
being in the blessed sunshine, and have
countless blessings to overbalance the
hawks.’’ ~ ■■
I am not minimising the "hawks. It
*ieems to me that the farmers whb go
to the legislature might pfit a bounty
«- >n every hawk's head, just as we used
to have bounties .on bears and things of
thV gort in Florida., The English spar
rows got so bad in Elkhart. Ind, once
•toon a time that the city put a bounty
on*their heads, and thinned them out for
a time. ' .
Poultry has become a source of rev
enue that adds many thousands of dol
lars to the money in circuhKton. and
the money, now invested tn chickens, it
seems to me. would, justify.a plan of
some sort tp thjn out th* hawks. Many
a law is mSde that really serves fewgr
neople. -and s4eih« less needful. The
st ng birds would have more chances to
live if the hawks were gone: so you see
. the beautiful as well as the utilitarian
of the question would be sbrv'ed.

, 1 may have told you this one. but 1
> am Being to repeat it for the benefit
• of the newer members of Our House
i hold, it' is called "How the Robin Got
: Its ' Redbreast:” Ixmg. long ago lire
was very scarce and hard to keep.
There were "no matches, and very few
> ways of getting fire if the spark went
. out.
In the far north, where tt is very cold,
. there was one fire kept all the time An
• old man and his little son took care
s of this fire* and were responsible for
. it day and night, for if it should go out
. they knew that the people would freeze.
and then the white bears would have
. tne land for themselves
, One day the old man was very sick,
the next he was no better and for many
t days his life was in danger. All the
. time his little son took care of him'
I and of the precious fire.
But you know its a hard job to
t work night and day and the boy got
so tired and- sleepy that he could hard
ly* keep the fire and take care of his
sick father. The white .bear saw that
the boy could not stay awake mticli
( longer, so Jie stayed as close to the
] fire ns he dared and laughed to himself
' at the thought of the people freezing.
Sure enough? one night the floor" little
hoy went to sfeefc and did not wake up
when the white bear ran up to the fire
and jumped on tt with his* wet feet ana
. tolled on it to put it out.
At last he thought that it was all out
and he went to his cave very happy.
, He was going to tell’ all of the other
, white bears how brave and smart he had
, been ’’ •
i Hut he was mistaken. Al that time
long, long ago. all robins were gray.
?no one was flying near where the oiu
t man and little hoy tended the fire and
11she saw what the white bear had done.
,■ Perhaps the little boy had fed the robin
,' many times when all tlie food she had to
ent was too far under the snow for her
Jto find it. Oor the old man may habe
rescued her nestlings from the white
i foxes. 1 do not know about that, but
J the northern legend says that the gray
..robin.flew down-among the ashes anti
I searched until she found a, tiny spark
, which she patiently fanned with her
J wings. It took her a< long time, and
she had to be so close to the fire that
I her breast was scorched red, but she
did not say. “Oh. pshaw. I am not going
t to burn myself for other people. 1 am
I going away* and leave this hard job. It’s
pity to let them freeze, but I can’t get
, burned.”
No, indeed; the little gray robin kin
. died a nice red fire for .the sick man and
. .ittle boy. and then flew away.
After that she went to another hut
for something to eat. As she lighted
, on the'little piece of wood a tiny spark
. was left there. ’ And as she flew from
( net to hut all over the rforthland she
• left a spark of fire, and instead of one
. fife in» that cold country there were
, many fires, and the white bears saw
. that they could not drive out the people
. and possess the land, so they went back

THE UHCEBTAIXTIIg OF LIFE.
The uncertainties of lifg are necessi
te.« to the wise and prudent ’ and a
Hindrance to the jslothful.
f In tht course of an ordinary- life there
ate three stages in which the uncer
itainties have’ their most frying les
sens: youth, middle life and old age.
It ie sown in youth, is cultivated in mi<T
, ole life, and is harvested in old age.
Opinions are divided among most peo
jplfc as to there beinr more uncertainties
than certainties. Some-advocatethe
' theory that there are no uncertainties
In the life of Christian people. Others
the idea that uncertainties be
long solely to the unsaved. * I am no
?theologian ror learned scholar, but 1
.believe the uncertainties are the
<very life of life. Were it net for them
there would be' no pleasure in liv*ng.
jV.'ere there no uncertainties in life there
'would be no zest in endeavor. It is the
| uncertainties of life that make the re
sults more real: without uncertainties
<ll progress would cease to be. They are
the very life of every undertaking, they
bind homes as well as nations together.
Uncertainty is the furnace in which the
hope and faith of every’ individual is
purified and strengthened, and all doubts
destroyed. tt i» the mother of safety .
frther-of precaution, brother of protec
tion.- end stater of trust,
'. Everything that pertains to life is
uncertain except death .and eternity. In
. tbe creation - of man he was sp,‘ made
that hq could not know his future, and
i* is through this uncertain stage that
trdn seeks a to guide hrs litjle boat
safely during life's voyage. TA>e safest
I plan with man is to be sure he is right,
I then go ahead.
It is the uncertain- time of the com
. ing of Christ that makes it the more
{important that we make sure our future
by becoming a true believer and follower
of His. and ready to meet the Bridegroom
] when He comes.
All railroads have men whose business
jit is to care for the tracks over which
i their trains run so that the lives of
{travelers may* be safe. The trackman
[who fails to obey these orders is sure
, ■ tr. cause t'eati. and destruction. .
Just so it is with every Christian
I - who fails to obey the orders of his Mas
' iter in not going along the "highways and
! Iby ways to warn sinners of the uncer
’ Itafnties of their lives.
If you ate uncertain as to the right
cr wrong of lhe thing you- are about
! to do. you would better make sure that
' yx-ur conscience is clear, and have a con
i saltation wi-h your Master, and if this
! combination convinces you, and they
’ usually <lo all sound thinking people,
•hen go ahead: for anything sanctioned
i by a clear conscience is bound to be
' right. Guided by these two things the
, uncertainties of life will be the easier
i so: • you to bear. Without them, vou
■ are sure to be troubled at all times.
1 If you are uncertain about the world
giving you a square deal, make certain
j that you give to the world what you
! expect of it and you will get al! you
I deserve and more.
> It is the uncertainties that come into
I the life of every Christian that causes
I him to keep a perpetual prayer floats
• ing heavenward that God may turn the
{ uncertainties of life into certainties.
! Much more might be said on. this
• broad subject, but what has been said
!; will suffice for this time. But in con-
IHE ATLANTA SEMI WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA. GA., FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 25. 1916
elusion, let me say to you who know not
a Savior, let not the night pass before
you make your peace with God; then
all uncertainties will be easier to bear.
God is willing; are you?

SOME VEXED QUESTIOMS.
Dear Mrs. Thomas: It ha • been some
time since 1 made you a visit, so I will
step in and see if 1 get a welcome
I was sure proud when Miss Thomas
changed her name to “Mrs." Thomas
and joined the farmers’ wives, for if
there ever was a band of women that
need sympathy it is this set. Don't get
things mixed up and say they are not
happy, for I think they are the happiest
ol women, but we have so many things
to come our way that we can’t keep
from worrying about, things not corning
to pass after we have tried so hard to
accomplish something. And we certain
ly have to work, unless we are able to
hire help. I believe in working and
sowing good seed when one s health is
good. To be sick and helpless, is a bad
state of affairs. Many a time it is the
husband's fault that worries eome.
Suppose you have a fine garden ready
io begin on and the stock get in and de
stroy A. That could be avoided if the
man would do his part. Or to have a
nice drove of turkeys ready for sale and
hunters come along and find them in the
woods t shoot them down and never say
anything about it. except to brag at
home. That's a thievish thing. They
stole those turkeys just as if they had
gone at night for them. . There seems
to be a class of people that envy a per
son if they are doing pretty well finan
cially by hard work. To have tenants
on your place that won't cut and haul a
load of wood —they just burn the rails
and tear down buildings, even take the
plank off the dwelling house and take
the rich pine posts for kindling.
Farmers haven't the heart to fix up
muoh around a tenant house, for they
do nqV know what time one of the sorry'
kind will get in it.
An<j the question ofsharing the fruit
oftferi’ caYiSis trouble, there are some
people who claim the earth. Some want
to measure to you what little they want
you to have. Then, in the country’ as
veil as in town, kinfolks, or just visitors,
come and stay with you like it was a
boarding place.
Then the people that' borrow all the
time and never return anything are what
I call a nuisance to a neighborhood.
If you want to go to Sunday school;
and a crowd comes in to spend the day, {
and they don't believe in Sunday school,'
what would you do? You can't always;
leave them till you come back, they may ■
be the prowling sort.
I nta.v come again some time, if you I
are willing.
Every one of you Householders write,
at once; it may /e the last opportunity'
with some of us.
Wishing 1916 to be to each one their]
happiest and most prosperous year.
Yours truly,
MRS. JORDAN i
AFTEB MANY MOONS.
Deai- Householders: 1. have.been away
from my -home in Calhoun, staying with
my son in Clarkston, Ga. He was tak
ing the daily Journal and several other
papers, so I decided it looked like a
waste of money’ to pay for so many
papers, and I left off The Semi-Weekly
Journal: but I have missed, the . House
hold letters all the while. Last week I
was down to see my kinsfolks in Coweta
county, and got hold of a Semi-Weekly
at my-unde's, and you can barflly im
agine my surprise to find out that Mies
Lizzie O. Thomas had married awl gone
oft to Alabama to live. Well. I-am late,
but 1 certainly do hope that she has the
.true; noble-hearted man that she Is
worthy of, and that he will help het in
her life's work to make others aaopy,
and that she may be happy as she makes
others so. *
■ 1 saw hjut one letter from any or ? the
man/ that used to write for the House
hold page. That made me think of tnat
old saying. “What is everybody's bus-]
ness is nobody’s business;' for we all
can help somebody if..we -try. by writing
giving others the benefit of our ex-;
periences. and especially can we help
the young sisters that have just started |
out in new homes of their own. 1 am
reallv sorry that I ever lost out as I
did, but I have tried to spend my time
as best I could to serve my fellow
creatures in any way that I had oppor
tunity to do. • In visiting the sick and ■
carrying them anything that 1 had in
the w-av of nourishing food, tempting ■
food, or fruit or flowers, and last, but
not least. I’v? taken the Bible and read
some of its precious truths. Whatever ]
was most suited to each individual case.]
then a short prayer for them, and if |
they liked to hear songs. 1 would sing ]
them Mome of their favorite songs We I
all know that as we do any little thing
to help others we get helped ourselves.
Deep down in our souls we can hear
Jesus say, “inasmuch as ye did it unto
the least of these my brethren, ye did
it unto me.” ‘‘He tbit giveth to the;
poor lendeth to the Lord,” and His bank;
will never break.
Now, as to the problem of what is
best for thin people to eat, as well as
the pale, neople. for about or nearly!
always the kind of food that is good for,
one would suit both. Sweet and Irish
potatoes are wholesome food for weak
people; the latter, with milk,-is said to I
be good brain and muscle food. There
are many ways to cook both, but sick
or weakly folk should not eat . them
fried. Baked ajid eaten with good but
ter, or mashed and seasoned with plen
ty of butter and fresh sweet milk, is
good. Light bread or eggbread would
be better than biscuit.
Then there can be many -sorts of
soups made. I have tomatoes prepared
for soup. I cooked them done and
rubbed them through a colander and put
them up in bottles and corked them
tight while they were ‘hot. J have all
the beans and tomatoes that we can eat.
and some c<»rn and okra that T put up in
tin carts. T canned them by using my
•wash pot in the cool shade. Anybody
that has good health and the material
can have an abundance of good things
to eat if they try the right way every
day in the year. I know whereof I
speak. Among the things good for pale,
thin folks are rice and any kind of
good cereals, chickens and eggs, milk and
butter, turnips 'and turnip salad. And
to really cook a hen right, don’t ever
bake it inside of the stove. To have it
good, boil it until perfectly done, then
put some of its own oil, or butter, in a
vessel bn top of the stove, and let it get
hot—not burned —and put the hen in it
and keep her turned over until she is
nicely browned all over. Then take her I
up and serve her. The juice does not;
I dry out when cooked this way. and the
] meat is better and more fit to digest
than when baked.
Mrs. Beecher has asked that we write
about historic places. I-live in sight of]
Stone Mountain, and if any of you that
have ngver seen ft will come to see me
T will hitch up my little horse ano go
with you to see it. It is only five miles
away, and It is said to be the largest
' rock in the world
I hope to write again soon, for 1 ,
j haven’t saM half I want to say about
the goodness of God tp the children of
men. MRS. DELTTIA LANG.

Although I liad a\ perfectly delightful]
. time in the two weeks' trip to Florida
] 1 felt remarkably contenied when I was
settled for the night in my own room
i and my own bed, where I slept soundly 1
] and sweetly after the evening train had.
I brought me to Cartersville last night.
| There had not been a dull minute
i during my waking hours for I had much;
Ito see .in Florida that was entirely new |
]to me. I was interested in the farming
as well as in the flowers and I see a]
'great future for that state in the yearjj
to come.
The- people who have usually felt it
] necessary to tour Europe could not go
| there this winter. The most of these;
tourists have traversed California, the
; Grand Canyon. Yosemite park. within
the last twelve months.
They were not inclined to investigate
Mexico, with the bandits in possession ]
of that country, and as Florida is lower
i down tas to altitude* than any other,
•state in the union, the people who must '
travel to remain contented, turned their;
steps towards Florida, to spend money.]
, And they are plentifully sprinkled all;
over the peninsula. The small towns
; with hotels aie full and the big towns'
on the coast, east and west, are cram-,
lined full. It must be a satisfactory sea-]
•son for hotel people and taxicabs, be--
I cause the money flows easily under
] such circumstances.
The night before 1 left St. Petersburg
a strange sort of wind came in from the
gulf. If I bad heard it in my home
. town 1 Should ha'e said: “Lookout for .•
] big storm!"’ It blustered all night, a
sprinkle Os rain fell and'jet next morn
ling the sun shone out and Die ther-|
. inometer dropped to a surprisingly low ]
figure.. . ,
.1 could not sit on deck when the
boat was crossing Tampa bay, and was
none too warm in a crowded closed
cabin.
It was just the same itt Tampa until
the wind rose again before nightfall. I
sought a place to warm my feet in the
hotel and nothing was in sight except]
i a huge black aged heater, that smoked'
| like a. smalt tar kiln.
After the stove got hot. the smoke
! went off as usual, up the long rusty;
' pipe. When I readied my second-story i
. room* everything was in “apple-pie or-1
der,” except it was* cold. I generally,
j take off my every-day wear on g'oing to ’
bed. but I will not .tell, you how much I]
| kept on to go to bed that night. It was;
- all needful, and J wished I had more j
] warm things to wear next day. I saw ]
I fine-dresseti ladies wearing their hus
bands’ overcoat’s and glad to get them.
I left for Jacksonville near noon, and
I arrived after .nightfall. l A gentleman nn
the train found out I scribbled for The
Semi-Weekly Journal and he not only
conveyed me across the crowded railroad
tracks in that city but walked with me]
to my nearby hotel. ’
You are rrot surprised to have me tell ;
you he was a Georgian now sojourning
neat; Ule city and managing a truck
farm... There is somethiug in these no
ble sons .of my native state that is de
pendable in any time of stress and
strain, no matter where you find t them.
Still the cold Weather continued. I
warmed a little at the solitary heating
place ih J that hotel establishment and
then decided to go to bed to get Warm!
Apd this was Florida climate! -
I dressed for. bed like ■ I was going to
r!de outside in the wintry air and need
ed all 1 had in reach 'to keep, from shiv
ering. 1 was not' surprised to hear.there
was hgrd ibe in efrp'osed places in Jack
sonville next day. * ’
,| I concluded to find'a "Georgia fireplace'
I next day, one of the sort that warms
j your ftmbs and stirs your blood. I
I found .the desired glowing ftre at Ash-
I burn, in Turner county., with cherished
friends, who. gave me a most hospitable
| greeting, and although there was steam
i treat m their magnificent home, the fat
I pine was heaped in the open fireplace.
and for the first time' for three days and
night? I could truthfully say I Was as
as 1 wanted to be.
It is a joy to remember how the good 1
! friends everywhere made me welcome
! and also warmed the very cockles of my i
i heart, thereby with hospitality. As we 1
' neared the Ashburn depct T was afraid '
: the conductor would not let me off as!
; the ru-les on the Dixie flyer and Dixie I
i limited are strict, but Ivhen the kindj
! youns gentleman- read my name on the
{•ticket. he .said “Yes. Ma'am." “.You snail }
! get off.in goqd time, and safely.” As he '
i handed me flown the stepu he asked. “Are
you not the Mrs. Felton jwho writes!
for us?"
So you will see. how good these peo- j
] pie are to your old editress and how
! they smooth the rough places and mjke ,
' me feel so grateful for their kindness.]
A short visit in Macon and a day and
night in Atlanta came along, and 'then '
my home train and at last my good old I
feather bed and a roaring coal fire in '
1 my own room to sleep and rest.
■I Not a single tiling transpired to mar
|my pleasure in this trip to Florida. I ,
; saw everything there was to see. had the j
j best In Hie land served for my eating.]
' went by boat, by rail, by auto cars and
i hacks, and not a slip or accident from ;
' start to finish, and although eighty
years old and some, I made the trip-
I alone and in perfect safety!
P. 55. The “Rebecca Felton” steam- ]
I boat Evaded her bld namesake. The]
] owner phoned me that my boat would 1
J be in the dock Sunday morning, fl sup
posed it would rest on Sunday as pious
! neople dos. but when I reached the dock
I before noon, she was out and gone again.
Everybody was acquainted with her
I in those parts, but she hid herself from
' her old namesake in'a most surprising
; way. Her owner says she is an excel
lent steamboat, stanch and stout, dees;
her work well and is always doing it. i
and 1 am going to be proud of her, if (
1 should never see her again in the
coming future.
So here's a health to the “Rebecca
I Felton” that makes her constant home
i in Florida" waters!

Sunday School Lesson I
By Dr. Marion McH. Hull |
February 27, 1916.
Acts 6.
Golden Text: "Bear ye one another’s
burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.’’
Gal. 6:2.
The devil does not always reckon'with
his host. He had tried to break up the
church by destroying its leader; by ar
resting and threatening the. followers of
Christ' by withdrawing the ordinary
means of support: by introducing lying
And now lie tries by suggesting a di
vision.,. As in each of ,ne oilier instances
lie had failed, so in this, as <ve shall
see.
There were in Jerusalem two classes
of Jews, the Palestinian Jews and the
foreign Jew -. Tiiese foreigners were
• alletl Hellenists because they spoke
Greek, co-eirg from the Greek-spcaki’it?,
ceuntrles, just as we have in our coun
try Russian Jews anti German Jews. Th».
Palestinian Jews were greatly in the
majority. For this reason in distribut
ing the supplies from day to day the
Palestinian Jews got the largest share.
The ije’ljcnists fingjly began to coin
plain.- f’onifuiie suggested that their
widows were not getting as much as
the Palestinian widows. Satan, of course
was the author of this suggestion. His
purpose- evas to create a division in the
church. If he could get them fighting
amongst themselves.’ *t would be easie
for him- to stop their woik: but his
scheme failed.
The murmuring became so strong that
it. reaejied the ears of the apostles. The;
might have ridiculed the idea; they might
have denied it: thex might have said
that it was only fair that the Pales
tinian lews should get the largest share
because they were in the largest num
ber and were contributing th" largest
portion; or they might have dr.-missed
them as bringing a complaint which was
beneath their notice. Not one of these
courses was taken, however, and for a
very rood reason: these men were filled
with the love of God.
Love controlled all of t-heir motives
Actress Tells Secret
A Well Known Actress Tells How She
Darkened Her Gray Hair and Pro
moted Its Growth Witlj a Simple
Homemade Mixture.
Miss Blanche Rose a well-known ac
tress. who darkened her gray hair with
a simple preparation which she mixed, at
home in a recent interview at Chicago.
111., made Die fallowing statement:
“Any lady or gentleman can darken
their gray hair and make a soft and
glossy with this simple recipe whicn
they can mix at home. To a half pint
of water add 1 oz. of bay rum. a small
box of Barbo t’ompound. and 1-4 oz. of
glycerine. These ingredients can be
bought at any drug store at very little
cost- Apply to the hair twice a week
until it becomes the required shade.
This will make a gray haired person
look 20 yeafs younger. It is also tin*
to promote the growth of hair, relieves
itching and scalp humors and is excel
lent for hand ruff and falling hair "

of Wonder Interest
The arrival of a baby in the household
completely changes the entire aspect of
Hthe future. But in the
meantime, during the
anxious period of ex
pectancy, there is a
splendid remedy known
as “Mother’s Friend”
that does wonders. It
is for external use, re
lieves the pains of
muscle expansion,
soothes and quiets the
nerves, extends its in
fluence to the internal
organs and removes to
a great extent the ten
dency to worry and ap
prehension. It is a natural treatment, safe
for the mother, has no drug effect whatso
ever and for this reason must exert a most
beneficial influence upon those functions di
rectly connected with motherhood. In a
very interesting book the subject is freely
discussed and a copy will be mailed free to
all expectant mothers by Bradfield Regulator
Co.. 406 Lamar Bdg.. Atlanta. Ga. Get a
bottle of “Mother’s Friend” today of any
druggist. Use as directed and you will fhen
know why mothers for nearly half a century
have used and recommended this splendid aid
to motherhood. Their letters are messages
pf cheer, that brcaUo comfort in every word.
and actions, and they were not disposed
to act in any other way.
They called all the multitude together
1 and said.. We are so busy in the ministry
'I of the Word am! in prayer that we are
| not able to do. that and look after the
! distribution of Hie food. Choo«e seven
1 men to look after this job. You must
get men who are so honest that cvery
. body will recognize it. Ton must have
» men who are wise and tactful, who are
economical, who are gifted with wisdom,
and the third qualification that they
must have is;—-and this is above all oth
■ era—they must be full of the Holy
: Spirit.
i Seven men were therefore chosen. It
i- remarkable that even, though the Pal
estinian Jews were in the majority ev
! ery man of the seven was a Hellenist.
‘ Do you comprehend what that means?
They were so guided by love that they
were willing to abrogate any authority
1- which they might have as a majority
‘ and turn over to the complainers, or’the
■('body from which the complaint came.
-• the whole distribution. They ha dsuch
; confidents ip their brethren, and such
' I love for Christ, that they were willing
Ito let tlie minority distribute the food.
They went the seeofid mll£; they turned
■- ( -,the other cheek; they silence all criti
!] cisms. and pretented any division of the
! chinch.
HOW IT WORKED OUT.
We said that Satan lost his fight- Not
only did he disrupt the church as he
I haQ hoped, but as a result of his insinu
ating suggestion lite church became
stronger. Seven new men at least were
brought out into places, of responsibili
], ty, were given something definite to do.
’] Seven new workers were inducted into
I office, anil from-.them came at least two
pieachers of marvelous power. One of
', these became the first Christian martyr.
I anti as a result of his work and life
;] and death, Paul was converted and be
-1 t-ainc the greatest force for righteous
.ness and the greatest enemy of the devil
since, the days of Christ, As the result
1 ol the other's work, Samaria was turned
; to Christ; Philip became one of the
greatest evangelists of his day.
These are the suggestions . which
, i come from tlie study of this incident.
| First, it is impossible for Satan to over
come God's plans. Every one of his at
tempts' failed, ff God makes the wrath
jof man to praise Him. He made the
. wrath of Satan also to praise Him. The
’] love of the. brethren showed itself.
i stronger - than it could otherwise have
i done had it not been put to the test.
Second, the neglect of the Grecian
I widows was purely unintentional. Most
]of the fusses that people have, if they
] were boiled down to their essence, would
I prove to have started with some uuiu-
Itcntional act of one of them. You feel
] aggrieved that you friend did so and
■ Iso. You nursed your grief until tiual
: . ly yon become angry, and fuss resulted,
i For this reason Christ told us that if we
I have aught against our neighbor go to
him and tell him alone. He knew that
1 in practically every instance a plear un
- derstanding between you and _ your
. I friend would show the. Tact that the
- slight or the act was unintentional, and
'the mis'ilnderstnhdings and hard feel
ings wpuld be avoided. > ■
; Third, the way to grow is to do.
* If you are a teacher the best way to de
. velop your class in Bible study is to give
. them some definite subject to work out
J and present at the next meeting of the
'(class. Th" .marvelous growth of the
‘ i Sunday school in the past ten years has
-(been duo to the organization of Bible
' classes, and organization simply means
this —each member is given something
ito do. There is lots of latent material
! In every- Sunday school, i;i every church,
in every class. Find a .lob for everyone
give each one something to do. and their
own development and the devcllopment
of, the organization wi|l be the result.
