BUILDING
ITALY ROADS
Experimental Institute Promoted for
Study of Materials for lm
proved Highways.
The Italian Touring club has re
cently promoted an experimental insti
tute of roads for the study of materi
als employed in the construction and
maintenance of highways.
The objects of the institute will be
to cany on laboratory experiments on
the physical and mechanical character
istics of road materials; to help the
progress of experimental technics rela
tive to highway surfacing by reproduc
ing and studying samples of pavements
worn by traffic or deteriorated other
wise; to ffirra a collection of material
samples suitable for Italian road con
struction; to collect all descriptive and
statistical matter appertaining to Ital
ian roads; to furnish public bodies
with useful advice relating to con
struction and maintenance of roads,
and to forward by every other means
the development and betterment of
road work in Italy.
Phe institute publishes monthly re
ports of its proceedings. The institute
is financed by annual contributions
from the Tourirife Club of Italy, by an
annual subsidy from the ministry of
public works and by annuities, gifts
and charges for material tests.
The institute is under the direction
of Sig. Italo Vambone, formerly
chief engineer of the province of Mi
lan. More detailed information re
garding the formation of this institute
is given in a recent bulletin of the
Permanent International Association
of Road Congresses.

the belt, and wherein front wheels are
provided for smoothing and compact

means, and wherein cleaning means is
provided for the belt and front
wheels.”
HARD ROAD IN NEW ZEALAND
Sum of $146,000 to Be Spent in Con
struction of Strip of Concrete
Six Miles Long.
Approximately $146,000 is to be
*pent by the city of Wellington, New
Zealand, in building a concrete road,
25 feet wide, to the suburb of I’etoue,
which is six miles distant.
The new paving will occupy the
center of a thoroughfare 100 feet wide
which is now macadamized. Only
vehicles, such as carts, motorcars and
small motortrucks will be allowed on
the concrete way. A special vehicle
lax in addition to the present one,
will be levied by Wellington, the pro
ceeds of which will be devoted solely
to the upkeep of this road. This tax
«pplies to all motor-driven cars, and
among them are also included motor
cycles.
IMPROVEMENTS ARE TO COME
Establishment of Motortruck Trains
Bound to Cause Reconstruction
of Surfaces.
With the establishment of motor
truck trains operating on a fixed
schedule throughout the country im
provements are bound to come. Not
only will surfaces of the highways be
rebuilt, but in many instances routes
will be shortened to save time and
money.
These improvements should he re
garded as vital to the success of every
community and as a necessary factor
in the prosperous era before us. They
represent benefits in which not a few
individuals hut the community af
large will share.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
BvKinning Work on a New Continent.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—Paul Carries the Gospel to Europe.
I. Forbidden by the Holy Spirit to
Preach the Word (vv. 0-8).
M e have here a lesson on divine
guidance. The inclination of Paul
and his companions was to tarry in
the provinces of Asia preaching the
word, but contrary to their inclination
they were hurried along. They might
have reasoned “What difference would
it make as to where we preach, just
so the Gospel is preached?” Though
seemingly small, the question as to
whether the Gospel should he
preached among the people in the
Last or in tlie West has determined
the entire history of the church. Had
they preached among the people In
the East, Christianity would never
have become worldwide. On tlie other
hand, by laying hold upon the Grecian
intellect and combining with it the
Push and energy of the Romans, it
became worldwide. In the guidance
of tiie Spirit we find Him just as ac
tive and as faithful in closing doors
as in opening them. “The stops as
well as the steps of a good man are
ordered of the Lord.” We ought to
as truly recognize God’s hand in the
“shut-ins” as well as in the “open
outs.”
11. Called ta Macedonia (vv. 9-12).
A vision was given to Paul of a man
from Macedonia pleading for help.
This was the solution of the mystery
of closed doors about them. There Is
a negative and a positive side to the
Spirit's guidance. 1/ we will note
both we shall be able to determine
with a surety the proper course of ac
tion. In order to be led aright we
must be sure that we are willing to
be led, pray definitely for leading, and
then render willing obedience as fast
as the light comes. As soon as the
divine way was known they rendered
immediate obedience.
111. The First Convert in Europe
(vv. 13-15).
The missionaries went to Philippi.
The Jewish element in this city was
very insignificant; so much so that
they could not afford a synagogue;
therefore the devout people were ac
customed to worship at the river side.
To this humble gathering Paul came
and preached to the women gathered
there. A certain woman from Thy
atira believed his message, and was
baptized. Lydia was a woman of
wealth, culture, and wide experience,
and yet she had need of Chirst. The
steps in Lydia’s conversion are worthy
of note:
1. Attendance at the place of prayer
(v. 13). This is the case with most
people who are saved.
2. Listened to the preaching of the
word of God (vv. 12-14). The instru
ment used by the Holy Spirit in the
conversion of sinners is the word of
God. “Faith cometh by hearing, and
hearing by the wort] of God” (Rom.
10:17).
3. Her heart was opened by the
Lord (v. 14). Regeneration is a su
pernatural work. When the Gospel
is preached the Spirit of God makes
it living and active, opening the sin
ner’s heart for the reception of Christ.
4. She was baptized (v. 15). It is
natural for the one who believes in
Christ to desire to be baptized.
5. Her household also believed
(v. 15). Thus we see that her’s was
a typical conversion.
IV. A Spirit of Divination Cast Out
(vv. 16-18).
As the missionaries went out from
day to day to the place of prayer they
were accosted by a young woman pos
sessed by a spirit of divination. She
was owned by a syndicate of men who
derived large gains from her sooth
saying. This act of the woman be
came a great annoyance to Paul who.
in the name of Jesus Christ, com
manded the evil spirit to come out.
Here is a case of a spiritual medium,
a fortune-teller, being freed from de
moniacal possession. Many men to
day are making money by the degra
dation of womanhood, and they resent
all efforts to destroy their infernal
business, even try to destroy those
who interefere with their business.
Here as everywhere Satan blocks the
way as the Gospel of Christ is car
ried into new fields, but the Lord Is
again triumphant.
