Lesson for September 6
TURNING TO THE GENTILES
LESSON TENT—Acts 13:13-52.
GOLDEN TEXT—For so hath the
Lord commanded us, saying, I have set
thee to he a light of the Gentiles, that
thou shouldest be for salvation unto
the ends of the earth.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul Preaching In
Antioch.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul Preaching in
Antioch.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP¬
IC—Opening a New Field.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP¬
IC—A Light Unto the Gentiles.
I. Paul’s Journey from Perga to An¬
tioch (13:13-15).
From this time forward Paul, who
hitherto was called Saul, takes tiie
lead. His companions were Barnabas
and John Mark. Leaving Cyprus they
sailed northward to Perga, the seaport
of Pamphylia.
1. Defection of John Mark (v. 13).
Front Perga, Mark for some reason
went hack. He later redeemed him
self, and was ready to go again when
tlie second missionary journey was
begun, but Paul would not give con¬
sent (Acts 15: 38, 39). It is pleasing
to note that before Paul’s death he
testified in Mark's favor (II Tim.
4:11). ‘
2. In the synagogue at Antioch (vv.
14. 15). From l’erga, Paul and Bar¬
nabas went to Antioch in Pisldia
where they entered the synagogue on
the Sabbath day. Though Paul was
the apostle to the Gentiles, his order
of ministry was to begin with the
Jews.
II. Paul Preaching in the Synagogue
(vv. 1(5-41).
After the usual reading of the
Scriptures, in response to the invita¬
tion of tiie rulers, Paul delivered his
first recorded sermon. In its analysis
we find four parts':
1. Historical (vv. 17-23). . In this
section we see how Paul in a concilia¬
tory way led them.,gradually through
a series of changes in which God had
dealt graciously with them, finally
giving them Jesus,, his Son. He indi¬
cated these steps as follows: (&F God
chose tiie fathers and exalted tiie peo¬
ple (v. 17). (b) He.delivered them from
Egyptian bondage and led them
through the terrible wilderness (vv.
17, 18). (c) He destroyed seven na¬
tions in the Land of Canaan and gave
to Israel their lands (v. 19). (d) He
gave them judges as deliverers when
distressed by surrounding na-tiohs r '(v.
20). (e) After they had selfishly chos¬
en a king, God rejected the dynasty
of Saul and chose David, a man after
his own heart (vv. 21, 22). (f> Finally
it was God wtio from David's seed
raised up unto Israel a Savior, Jesus.
This demanded proof which follows:
2. Apoiogetical (vv. 24-27). That this
Jesus was of the seed of David and
therefore tiie promised Messiah he
proves by three lines of argument 1 : (a)
Tiie testimony of John the Baptist (vv.
24. 25). (h) The prophecies of Scrip
ture fulfilled in their rejection and
crucifixion of Jesus (vv. 26-29). (c) His
resurrection from tiie dead (vv.30-37).
Several passages of Scripture wore
cited as being fulfilled in the resur¬
rection by means of which ha was
declared to tie tiie Son of God with
power. Having proved Jesus to be the
seed of David, he proceeded to set
down tin* doctrinal teachings growing
out of it.
3. Doctrinal (vv. 38, 39). Tiie great
doctrine derived from this proof, is jus¬
tification by faitli—tiie very marrow
of the gospel. Observe: a. The
ground of justification is tin# finished
work of Jesus'Christ. He took bur
place as a sinner that we might be¬
come sons (II Cor. 5:21). b. Who are
justified? Those who believe in him.
c. From what. Is one justified? All
sins. The one who believes- in Jesus
is freely forgiven all sins.
4. Practical (vv. 40, 41).
Tiie application of this sermon was
a warning lest' the judgment spoken
of by llabakkuk should fall upon
them. i'¬
ll I. The Effect of the Sermon (vv.
42-52).
1. Many of the Jews and proselytes
requested to hear these words again
(vv. 42-49). Almost the whole city
came to hear the Word of God tiie
next Sabbath. This great crowd in¬
cited the jealousy of the Jews.
2. Open opposition (vv. 50, 51). The
persecution Secarne so violent that
Paul and Barnabas were expelled from
the city. This persecution was itn
swered by Paul s rejection of them
and his turning to the Gentiles.
3. The disciples filled with joy and
with tiie Holj- Ghost (Vv5gj, In spite
of tiie bitter, experienced occasioned
by. this opposition, they were filled
with joy.

SOME ODD NOTIONS
OF DAYS GONE BY
Tea Drinkers Were Once
Frowned On by Society.
Mrs. Susannah Wesley, the mother
of John and Charles Wesley, and the
“pattern mother of the world,” wrote
out for her son's benefit her rules
for the rearing of children, some of
which were rather different from tiie
methods of today. Her children were
not only rocked to sleep in a cradle,
but were kept rocking for three
hours until the time for sleep lmd be¬
come a habit. I have since wondered
if my mother had not imbibed the
idea, for I well remember having been
paid live cents an hour for rocking
divers and sundry cradles.
The little Wesleys were taught to
fear the rod and cry softly, so that
the presence of a child in the house
was never apparent. They were not
allowed to eat between meals, nor to
ask the servants for food, nd must
always eat what was set before
them. How would it seem to be com¬
pelled to eat what you did not like
before you could have anything else?
Yet I have seen that very tiling tried
today.
It may never have occurred to you
that tea was once thought to lie an
intoxicant; hut I found a clipping
which stated that in 3 7(51 the ques¬
tionable habit of tea drinking began
to prevail, indulged in slyly at first,
but gaining ground and finally ac¬
cepted by tiie minister himself!
Equally strange was tiie idea that
jelly had medicinal qualities. It is
said Hint jelly was first made in a
parish in England, occasioning the
minister some uneasiness until it was
discovered to be very healing to a
sore throat, and it, too, was pleasant¬
ly domesticated in the village. Coffee
drinking is even now considered by
some to lie a mild form of dissipa¬
tion, and a sure forerunner of in¬
somnia.
The luscious 'tomato, so indispen
slble for salads, was once looked
upon as poisonous, but admired for

Demand the Facts
KlNOW the manufacturer—life reputation and abil¬

and distributing necessary to build better tires and sell them
at lowest prices. Know if he puts his own name on every tire
lie makes and stands back of it witli his guarantee and respon¬

its brilliant coloring. It was called
the love apple and the Mexicans
called it tomatl. It was long known
in Africa and the East Indies, but
not until the close of the Sixteenth
century was it noticed by tiie Euro¬
peans. a Netherland herbalist speaks
of eating tomatoes with pepper and
salt in 1583. About the same tme,
Gerard, a famous English surgeon
who kept Lord Burleigh’s gardens for
twenty years, introduced tiie tomato
into England. Three nundred years
passed before it was cultivated, and
then only for its red color; It was
thought fit food for pigs. In 1830, a
man named Gregory claims to have
sold the first tomatoes ever brought
to Massachusetts.
The cactus, once a nuisance and of
no earthly use. was converted by Bur¬
bank to an edible food for cattle.
Certain types of it were used by the
Indians for sirups ant} dried .fruit.
Would that the wonderful Burbank

some of the objectionable thorns of
human cacti! With what implement

brought to notice? It is related that
Thomas Coryate, the court fool of
James I. wrote a book called “Cor

his hoots, which had carried him on

and among other accomplishments,
brought the first table fork to Eng¬

a bully is always a coward! A recent

A DECEPTION
That The Public
Is Openly Warned Against
When You Go to Buy GENUINE BAYER ASPIRIN
for Pain . . . Watch Out That This Deception i«
Not Attempted Against You
THIS warning is printed to put the public on guard against
a deception which may be practised against those who seek
genuine Bayer Aspirin for pain, headaches or colds.
We take this means of warning you, so you may be able to
protect yourself and family against results of such deception.
BEWARE!
Other preparations, we are informed, have been offered at times
to those who ask for Bayer Aspirin; and even represented in
some cases as being “the same as Bayer Aspirin.”
Watch Out! Remember that years ago doctors warned the
public against “headache remedies,” some of which are heart
depressants and unsafe for many people to take.
Then remember how Genuine Bayer Aspirin came. And was
acclaimed the world over by leading men of science as SAFE
relief for pain, and was prescribed without hesitation by eminent
physicians. For genuine Bayer Aspirin does not harm the heart.
What folly, then, in the light of these things, to dose yourself
with drugs of which you know nothing. Don’t gamble—KNOW.
The genuine Bayer Aspirin tablets are made by a special
process, under careful supervision of scientists, in the Bayer
Laboratories, with over 25 years of highly specialized experience.
So when you want SAFE relief for pain, cold or headache,
ask for BAYER ASPIRIN. You have a perfect right to ask for
what you want. And an equal right
to get what you ask for.
Look for the name BAYER on the
package. And the word Genuine in
red. Insist on Genuine Bayer Aspirin
and refuse to accept a substitute.
DOES NOT HARM THE HEART

The war and marine department of
Mexico lias announced that only men
who can read and write will lie ad¬
mitted to the army and navy, and
soldiers and sailors who refuse to go
to school will lie discharged.

that it lias to wait a hundred years.
