QUESTIONS ON SUN¬
DAY SCHOOL LESSON
Prepared by Rev. Dr. Linscott for
The International Bible Study
Club in this Paper.
July 4th, 1909.
Paul’s Second Missionary Jour¬
ney.—Antioch to Philippi. Acts
xv:36 to xvi: 15.
Golden Text.—Come over into
Macedonia and help us. Acts xvi:9.
Verse 36.—Is it generally neces¬
sary to follow up any good work
which we have commenced if we
would make it a success?
Verses 37-39.—Would it have
been wiser if Barnabas had first
consulted Paul in the matter of
taking Mark?
Barnabas was a relative of Mark;
are we as good judges of the fitness
of our relatives for an office as we
are of the fitness of others? Why?
Why is nepotism in government
appointments, looked upon with
suspicion?
Had Paul, probably, good reason
for objecting to taking John and
Mark with them? (See Acts xiii;
13.)
If a man shows lack of courage,
oi tact, or faithfulness, in one
position, does that disqualify him
m any measure, from getting
another, or from success when in
another position?
If both Paul and Barnabas had been
duplicates of the man Jesus, would
there have been this quarrel between
them, and how would the matter likely
have been settled? (This question
must be answered by members of the
club.)
When two Christians fall out, is
one or both always to be blamed?
Verses 40-41.—Did the dispute
between these men work out for
good, as it resulted in two missio¬
nary deputations instead of one?
By any process of reasoning can
you conclude that God was back
this dispute, between these
godly men, so as to better work
his purposes?

ters, and other Christians, be on
the look-out for young men who
are fitted for the ministry, the same
as business men are for good sales¬
men ?
What can you say for, or against
Paul circumcising Timotheus, in
view of the decision of the council
at Jerusalem? (See Acts xv: 1-29.)
In matters of habit, or ceremony
or non-essentials, is it well for us
to give way to the views of others,
sinking our own preferences when
we can accomplish good by so do
ing? For example you may oppose
wearing “pig-tails” in this coun¬
try, with wisdom, and yet to re¬
fuse to wear one in China may be
great folly.
Verses 4-5.—What were the
< i decrees ..........of the
.
elders which at Jerusalem, t > .
were
and are these binding upon the
church to-day? [See Acts xv:28-29.]
Is a church better with or with¬
out an elaborate creed?
What did Jesus teach which is
not included in righteousness, and
the constant vision of God?
Will a church sound “in the
faith,” always be a magnet to draw
others to it.
Verses 6-8.—Why did the Holy
Spirit forbid them to preach in Asia
and Bithynia, ami would they have
sinned had they done so?
When we are hindered provid¬
entially from doing certain good
works, is that the Holy Spirit hin¬
dering us?
Verses 9-10.---How many meth¬
ods does God adopt in leading us?
Does God in every emergency
give us some sure guidance as to
what we ought to do?
Was this vision just as clear a call
from God, as though he had spoken
personally?
Verses 11-12.--Does God direct
the course of the Christian with
absolute certainty, notwithstanding
wind or sea?
Verse 13,---What is one of the
first things an earnest Christian
looks out for, when he moves into a
new community?
Are women generally in the
majority as earnest Christians?
Verse 14.—Are busy women
generally more spiritual than those
who have but little to do.
Should all girls be taught to earn

WRITES ABOUT ROADS
Interesting Article About Bet¬
ter Roads and the Best Plan
Of Building Them.
Editors Covington News:—T he
of better roads is something
everj r patriotic citizen wants and
jq ] iave if enough of them will agree
the best plan to have them, and
put that plan into execution.
county does not need any
issue to get better roads.
We have had good roads in Newton
times and we seem to think
that they will last forever. The point
I am trying to stress is “that we
forgot to have them repaired.” We
should remember that man cannot
build anything that will not need re¬
pairing sooner or later.
Therefore, when we build as we
call it a permanent road, let us not
forget to go back and repair whenever
needed and then return to our perma¬
nent road-building again.
For example, some of our perma¬
nent roads might have been repaired
with one load of gravel, but they were
neglected until it required several hun¬
dred loads of gravel, or in other
words, another permanent road had to
he built.
If we forget to repair them our per¬
manent roads will not last very long.
It seems to me if we work with
what we have, and use common sense,
we will soon have good roads in
Newton county.

MILLION DOLLARS FOR
COTTON FACTORIES
Many New Cotton Mills Are Now
Being Built Throughout the
Southern States.
The Georgia and Alabama Industrial
Index published at Columbus, Ga.,
says in its regular weekly issue:
“Conspicuous among the industrial
news items of the past week was the
action of the stockholders of a Col
lumbus, Ga., cotton manufacturing
company in formally voting to enlarge
their plant at a cost of nearly $500,
000. This cotton mill has been in
operation a few years, and the fact
that its earnings and its prospects for
continued increase of sales are such
that its owners have decided to double
its capacity illustrates strikingly the
profits in cotton manufacturing in the
south when properly conducted. The
addition to the plant will he slightly
larger than the original building, and
the enlarged structure will be an im¬
posing mill, four stories high, 534 feet
long and 128 feet wide. The enlarge¬
ment will give employment to 400 or
500 more operatives.
“The energetic manner in which
South Alabama is taking hold of the
culture of Sumatra tobacco is illus¬
trated by the announcemer. of a big
tobacco-curing and manufacturing
plant in Baldwin county. A large
three-story building will be erected by
the company, which will encourage
the culture of tobacco in that section,
inviting the co-operation or the farm¬
ers.
“The contract for the erection of
the first paper mill in the world in
which the material used will be the
stalks of the cotton plant was awarded
at Cordele, Ga., and within a short
time the work of erecting a large
plant there will be in progress.
“About one-half million dollars
will be expended in Birmingham, Ala.,
this year in the erection and enlarging
of churches. Among the church con¬
struction items for the week is the
award of an important contract at
Columbus, Ga.
“Probably the biggest auction sale
of lots in the history of Atlanta, Ga.,
took place during the week, $171,003
being the sum realized from one day’s
sales. AtBirmingham, Ala., a $75,000
land deal was consummated, and
Savannah, Ga., reports an $80,000
transaction in realty.”
