THE MACEDONIAN CALL.
GOLDEN TEXT—Go ye therefore,
and teach all nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
LESSON TEXT—Acts 15:36-16:15;
Romans 15:18-21.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Paol Takes the
Gospel to Other Lands.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul Takes the
Gospel to Europe.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP¬
IC—How Christianity Came to Europe.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP¬
IC—What Took Paul to Europe.
I. Finding an Assistant for Paul
(Acts 15:35-16:5).
1. Contention over John Mark (vv.
36-41).
a. Paul’s proposal (v. 36). This was
to revisit the scenes of their mission¬
ary endeavor to find out what prog¬
ress the believers were making in their
Christian life
b. Determination of Barnabas (v.
37). This was to take with them
John Mark. Mark was Barnabas’
nephew (Col. 4:10).
c. Paul’s opposition (v. 38). He
was suspicious of Mark because of
his desertion on the first journey
(Acts 13:13).
d. Their separation (w. 39-41).
Their contention was so stiarp that
they separated. Paul’s leadership un¬
der God in the evangelization of the
world presumably entitles him to a
clearer understanding of Mark. Mark
should have another chance, but Paul’s
very sternness brought him to his
senses. God .overruled this incident to
the wider extension of the work. Bar¬
nabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus.
Paul chose Silas.
2. Finding Timothy (10:1-5).
a. The place (v. 1). It was the
very place where Paul on his first
journey had endured cruel stoning.
Tlie conversion of this young man
may be regarded as fruitage of his
testimony at that time.
b. His parentage (v. 1). His mother
was a believing Jewess and his father
a Greek.
c. His character (v. 2). He had a
good reputation in the church at Lys
tra and Iconlum.
d. Iiis circumcision (v. 3). Tim¬
othy had not been circumcised, doubt¬
less because his fattier was a Gentile.
In order to avoid offense among the
Jews, Paul circumcised him.
e. The ministry of Paul and Tim¬
othy through the cities (vv, 4. 5).
They went through the cities and de¬
livered the decrees which had been or¬
dained at the Jerusalem council (Acts
15 :19-24).
II. Forbidden to Preach the Word
In Aeia (16:6-8).
The inclination of Paul was to tar¬
ry In Asia Minor preaching the word,
but contrary to this inclination they
were hurried along. We have here a
fine example of divine guidance. The
Holy Spirit is just as active and faith¬
ful in closing as In opening doors.
III. The Call to Macedonia (vv.
9 - 12 ).
The time had now come for the
gospel to begin its conquest of another
continent. The crossing of the gospel
from Asia to Europe determined the
entire history of the Church.
1. The vision (v. 9). Being hemmed
in on all sides, a vision was given to
Paul of a man of Macedonia pleading
for help. This made clear to him the
meaning of the closed doors.
2. The advance (vv. 10-12). As soon
as the divine way was known, they
moved forward. Visions must be quick¬
ly translated into aggressive action,
or they are blotted from our skies.
IV. The First Convert in Europe
(vv. 13-15).
The devout people were accustomed
to worship at the riverside. To a
humble gathering of this kind Paul
came and preached. Lydia, a business
woman from Thyatira, believed ids
message and was baptized. The steps
in her conversion are worthy of note
for they are typical
1. Atendarice at the place of wor¬
ship (v. 13).
2. Listened to the preaching of the
word of God (vv. 13, 14). The instru¬
ment used in the conversation of sin¬
ners is the word of God (Romans
10:17).
3. Her heart was opened by the
Lord (v. 14).
4. She was baptized (v. 15). Every¬
one whose heart the Lord opens de¬
sires to confess him in baptism.
5. Her household believed (v. 15),
and Immediately proffered hospitality
to those who had brought blessing to
them.
V. Preaching the Gospel Where
Christ Was Not Named (Rom. 15:
18-21). This was Paul’s missionary
program. As the apostle to the Gen¬
tiles, bis work was to be on an in¬
dependent basis.
Upon Your Knees
A marble cutter, with chisel and
hammer, was changing a stone into a
statue. A preached looking on, said:
“I wish I could deal such clanging
blows on stony hearts.” The work¬
man made answer: “Maybe you
could, if you worked like me, upon
your knees.”—Contributed by Verta

WIDE VARIETY IN
WOMEN OF WORLD
Alike Only in Tenderness
and Charm.
Which nation produces tire best
all-round wife is a subject that
would seem to call forth much dif¬
ference of opinion. Some would
agree that the little Frenchwoman
with her deft fingers, skilled alike
in the arts of sewing and cooking,
could not he bettered—and when
one has had the good fortune to
lunch or sup at her table, and in¬
spect her well-kept economical house
books, envy of the lucky chap who
is tier husband burns high, writes a
woman correspondent in the London
Daily Mail.
Her children are daintily clothed
and well fed, and tier husband’s
every wish is anticipated.
Spanish wives certainly have a
natural charm, with their limpid dark
eras, soft voices, and quiet manners,
ana home is indeed a place in which
to be happy in sunny Spain.
Hospitality is second nature to
these women, and the table welcomes
any friends a husband may bring at
any hour. These wives pride them¬
selves that there is always “plenty,”
and a husband may congratulate
himself on the position of “lord and
master,” which his lovely wife con¬
cedes him.
Others will argue that Germany
is tlie only country in which to
choose a partner for life, since there
one finds the perfectly capable
woman.
Again some say “choose the Italian
if you would lead a life of bliss,” for
she is soft, luring, blending her tastes
to yours—giving of herself—artistic
in home decoration—proud of the
name you have given her. She is a
tender mother to her children, loving,
faithful yet inspiring. Tlie food will

served as by either her German or
French sister—and she will not com¬

agances or habits. She is psycholog¬
ical, and contents herself in the po¬
sition of just being a clinging vine.
Tlie Swedish woman has a glorious
physique—strong as a man, she is yet
ns tender as a child. Her home is
exquisitely run, and there are the most
marvelous foods because she enjoys
eating and a man likes company and
appreciation while eating good food.
Perhaps Russian women are the
most adaptable of all, and make
wonderful wives in consequence.
They have a quality of soul which Is
without doubt more attractive even
than the physical beauty in which
they so often excel.
Tlie Dutch wife has often been
quoted as an example of tidiness,
cleanliness, spotless order, and in
her picturesque neat attire, serving
a cup of “cocoa,” has been described
throughout the world—while the
Austrian woman is a most gracious
as well as an efficient wife, witli her
poise, dignity and laughing eyes; her
sense of humor makes life gay, yet
her table can only be rivaled by her
Polish cousin, whose excellent va¬
rieties seem destined for publicity.
American women have a certain
flair for being well groomed in their
persons and their homes, and tills
amazing quality makes them the
type of wives who can do housework ;
look after their own babies; pBepare
and serve a very tasty meal; and yet
be smart to dance in the evenings or
make up a four for tennis, bridge or
golf.
But no woman can look like the
English woman on a horse, at the
races, or in Her box at the opera!
She has a certain dignity—an inbred
poise—which makes her the one type
to preside over the long table In a
country home.
She lias intelligence, pluck and
natural courage—it has often been
said slie is the real strength of Eng¬
land, for slie is the mother of her
great race of men’s men!
Social Handicap
Awkwardness is a more real dis¬
advantage than it is generally
thought to be; it often occasions
ridicule, it always lessens dignity.
—Chesterfield.
DEVICES TO LURE
THE FINNY TRIBE
Ingenious Patents Recorded
at Washington.
Many early vagaries of fishermen
are recorded in tlie United States
patent office. In 1852 a patent was
issued on a tly with au air-tight
chamber and an aperture. Thus tlie
fly would float, if desired, or tlie
aperture could be opened and tlie
fly filled with water when sub-sur¬
face fishing was desired. Variations
in color of baits and feattiers were
suggested, “adapting them to the
season of tlie year and to the de¬
scription of fish.”
The earliest rod patent of record
is “after tlie usual manner of walk¬
ing rods,” with tlie butt-joint tele¬
scoping tlie other joints, and having
in tlie handle small compartments to
contain “the various implements of
fishing tackle.”
The same inventor also patented
in tlie year 1852 a float containing
a spring which, released by the
slightest touch, would hook tlie lisii.
In 1851 was patented a hollow
sinker into which shot could he
poured when the rapidity of the
current or tide required a heavier
sinker. Another "fishing-lead" pat¬
ented in 1856 lias a swivel to pre¬
vent line twisting and a hard metal
base to protect tlie lead when strik¬
ing bottom.
in 1873 an “improvement In an¬
gling-flies” was patented in that the
book was concealed in the wings of
the fly, making it “more deceptive
and consequently more serviceable.”
The invention which still provokes
a laugh among patent office officials,
says a Washington patent attorney,
is tlie lure which contained a mirror
and which tlie inventor thus ex¬
plained ;
“I’lie mirror is an additional fea¬
ture that insures tlie effectiveness of
tlie bait in tlie following manner:
A male fish seeing ills image, upon
looking therein, will appear to see
another fish approach it from tlie
opposite Side with the Intent to seize
the bait, and this will not only
arouse ills warlike spirit, but also
appeal to his greed, and be will seize
the bait quickly in order to defeat
the approaching rival. In case the
fish is suspected of cowardice, I may
make tlie mirror of convex form in
order that tlie rival or antagonist
may appear to be smaller. In the
case of a female fish tlie attractive¬
ness of a mirror is too well known
to need discussion. Thus tlie bait
appeals to tlie ruling passion of both
sexes, and renders it very certain
and efficient in operation.”
Socialistic Belief
Communism is a type of Social¬
ist doctrine, which, on tlie basis of
the Marxian Communist manifesto,
desires the Socialist aim by means
of dictatorship of the proletariat.
The Communists believe, like the So¬
cialists, in collective ownership of
the means of production and that
the revolutionary working classes
must seize the power and set up a
dictatorship of the proletariat in
preparation for the Socialist state.
Many Kindi of Asters
There are over 250 species of as¬
ters. They are native of temper¬
ate regions, being especially abun¬
dant throughout the United States.
Asters belong to the family Compos
itae and are so named from tlie ra¬
diate or star-like appearance of the
flowers. The China aster is also a
member of the family Composltae
and is a native of China.
Courage Comes First
Tlie gener.il instinct toward a
public man Is rarely wrong, espe¬
cially when be possesses a high or¬
der of civic courage. Courage is
tlie prime essential of statesman¬
ship. “All goes if courage goes.” As
Doctor Johnson says: “Unless a
man has that virtue he has no se¬
curity for preserving any other.”—
