"Young Workers" Are Used in Fight
gainst National Education
Week.
Minneapolis. Minn., Nov. 17.
Communists' schools, ti aching the
theory of communism Leninism, are
being organized in a number of cities
in the United States, communist lead
ers here declared tonight.
C. A. Hathaway, northwest organ
izer of the worker's party, estab
lished the school here under direc
tion of the central executive com
mittee in Chicago. The school opena
tomorrow to run for 20 weeks.
"Young workers, the junior com
munists, are being supplied with lit
erature for distribution in the city's
schools, aimed to offset American
edi'cation week in the public schools,"
said Hathaway.
Yo want education for action,
not abstract education. We are
teaching our young people that the
constitution of the United States
is the bulwark of class rule and
that workers must promote the need
ed change."
In New York and Chicago, he said,
rchools are in operation to teach the
instructors for the communist schools
in various parts of the country. The
movement is affiliated with the third
'ntenationale of Moscow, he said.
Courses consist of English to aid
foreign workers especially: the com
munist theory, public speaking, trade
unionisb. advancement economics and
Leninism.
Mr. Hathaway said he does not
expect any interference with their
plans to distribute communistic lit
erature to the public school students
ns this has been done before without
(trouble.
"The central executive commit
:iee," he said, "considers national
1 education week, when the schools
and churches are emphasizing the
reef! for capitalistic education, as a
good time to show our young people
, I lint this education is net for the
workers."
A special publication. "The Young
(Worker," is being issued from Chi
cago headouarters in connection with
the anti-education week movement,
.Hathaway said.
Whie Hathaway did not hive
'snecific information as to just what
icities'schools are being or have been
iestabliohod in. he said classes will be
organized in Milwaukee lhursuay,
and other schools will be started "in
every leading American city."

t BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON
If
Sunday, November 22nd
By M. S. Brlggrs
S-K-H
Golden Text: "Herein I also ex
ercise myself to have a conscience
void of offense toward God and man
always." Paul. (Acts 24:16.)
Preaching to the World
One week ago we left Paul, where
the authorities at Jerusalem had dis-j
covered his Roman citizenship. He I
however, was brought before the
council for further examination and
after a tumult had arisen, he declar
ed, "I am a Pharasee, the son of a
Pharasee, and for the hope of the
resurrection of the dead am I called
in question."
As there were both Prahasees who
believe in the resurrection of the just
and the unjust and the Saducees de
nying both, a tumult arose and Clan
deus Lyceas, the captain of the sold
diers, sent down and had him brought
to the castle. This was the day fol
lowing his arrest. The Jews banded
together over forty and swore by an
oath that they would neither eat nor
drink until they had slain Paul.
During the American war of the
rebellion, better known as the "Civil
war," but far from civil. Gen. Zal
lacafes, a commander of the Confed
erate troops fighting in Kentucky,
swore with an oath that he would
water the horses of the cavalry of
his division in the Ohio river the
following morning or water them in
hell. This was just before a battle.
However, he was not able to water
the horses in the Ohio river.
Paul was taken that night to
Cesearea and stayed there for two
years, after which he was sent to
Rome. Those forty Jews must have
gotten pretty hungry and as thirsty
as some since this country went dry.
A nephew of Paul's, a mere lad.
had heard this pact of the Jews and
told Paul who sent him to Claudius
Lysias. who when informed of the
pact, sent Paul to Cesearea under a
guard of 200 men. He also sent a
letter to Felix, the governor, in sub
stance as follows: "This man was
taken by the Jews and would have
been killed by them, but for being
rescued by the soldiers. He is a
Roman. Their accusition is a mat
ter of the Jewish church law. I am
sending him to you. His accusers
will come to accuse hkn."
Then the Jews, with Ananias, the
high priert, and one of the most noted
attorneys of that day, Tertallus, af
ter they had studied the matter for
five days, went down to Ceseara,
where the case was heard, accusing
h'm in a round-about way. The at
torney first threw a boquet at Gover
nor tens, saying, - seeing mat oy
thee we enjoy great equalities and
that very worthy deeds are done un
to this nation bv thy providence, we
aoeeet it always and in all places
most noble Felix, with all thankful
ness." Then he prefers these charges
against Paul: "We have found this
man a pestilent fellow and a mover
of sedition among all the Jews thru
out the world and a ring-leader of
the sect of the Nazarencs who hath
also gone about to profane the tem
ple; whom we took and would have
adjudged according to our law, but
the chief Captain Lysias came upon
us. and" with great violence took him
r. way out of our hands, commanding
his accusers to come unto thee. By
exarnaning him thyself, thou mayest
take knowledge of all these things
whereof we accuse hiin.'
VThen Tertullus, the learned attor
ney had concluded his arraignment
of Paul and numerous of the Jews
has substantiated his statements with
similar ones of their own. Governor
Felix nodded to Paul that he might
answer for himself as to the things
of which he had been accused.
Paul was quick to answer him.
saying, "r'or as much as 1 know tnat
thou hast been of many years a judge
unto this nation, I do most cheerful
ly answer for myself. Because that
thou mayest understand, there are
yet but twelve days elapsed since I
came up to Jerusalem to worship.
They neither found me in the temple
disputing with any man, neither
stirring up the people in the syna
gogues nor in the city. Neither can
they prove anything whereof they
now accuse me."
Then Paul having thus afforded
him a great opportunity, said, "But
t ? i 5 I confess unto thee; that after
the way they call heresy, so worship
I the God of my fathers, believing
all things which are written in the
law and in the prophets; and have
hope towards God, which they them
selves also allow, that there shall be
a resurrection of the dead, both the
just and the unjust. And herein do
I exercise myself to have always a
conscience void of offense toward
God and toward man. Now after
many years. I came to bring alms to
my nation and offerings, whereupon
certain Jews from Asia found me
purified in the temple, neither with
multitude or with tumult, who ought
to have been here before thee and
objected if they had ought against
me or else let these same here say
if they have found any evil doing in
me, while I stood before the coun
cil. Except it be for this one voice
I cried standing among them, touch
ing the resurrection of the dead, am
I called in question by you this day."
Felix, who was well acquainted
with the coming of the Christ, the
details of his crucifixion and his be-:
ing raised from the dead and ascend-'
ing into heaven, as well as the found
ing of the Christian church, had
weighed their accusations and con
sidered them as nothing. So to the
Jews eagerly bent on Paul's impris
onment or death, he said, "When Ly
sias shall come down I will know the
utmost of your accusations" and dis
missed the case, but kept Paul in
prison, thinking he might receive
some money for setting him at lib
erty. He commanded a centurian to
keep Paul, but to allow him the lib-

erty of going where he should de
sire. After a short time Felix called
Paul unto him questioning him, as
he thought there would be a proposi
tion for his release by paying Felix
money.
Paul had no money to pay for hi 3
freedom and knew that as a prison
er he would finally be taken to Rome.
For the spirit had made known to
him that as he had testified to the
Lord Jesus in Jerusalem, he must
also testify to him at Rome.
Paul was thus kept a prisoner at
Ceaseria for two years and until
Felix was succeeded by Poeius Pec
tus as governor. However, when Felix
lett he left Paul in prison to please
the Jews.
Throughout the time, Paul con
tinued to testify of the Christ and
on no occasion compromised his con
science by bedding back expressions
of his belief in the true gospel.
His fortitude in the face of im
prisonment and constant clamoring
for his life is truly remarkable and
affords a splendid object lesson to
present day Christians in whose path
no obstacles are encountered sucli a
faced
by the early day disciples of
Jesuf. If
under su
ho could
h trying
keep the faith
conditions, it
certainly behooves
us to be aide to
say, as in the golden text of this
lesson, "I also exercise myself to have
s conscience void of offense toward
God and man always."
WHEAT PP.ICES UP
AS EXPORTS BOOM
Chicago. Nov. IS. A big export
business along with a radical ad
vance in Liverpool brought a sharp
rise in wheat prices in Chicago Tues
day. Extremely bullish Argentine news
added to the radical upturn. After
the market closed the Argentine
Chamber of Commerce said a cable
gram announced this year's wheat
crop should reach a total of 6,400,000
tons, materially exceeding last year's.
All deliveries sold at a new high
on the present upturn and heavy
profit taking was readily absorbed
while the foreign demand was active.
Wheat closed at 2 3-4 to 4 3-lc high
er with May leading the procession
and w inding up at $1,53 3-4. The up
turn in wheat had little effect on
corn and oats.

letter which is as fed lows:
Sebring Fla.. Nov. 8.
To our many friends in
Cass ccuntv, greetings:
True to our promise we are going
;o tell you something about our trip
to Florida.
We left Union September 2Ith. ia
the two vehicles, fhe Uode and a
Ford, traveling through the Fouth
eattern part of Nebraska, through
(Kansas, Oklahoma and entering Tcx
; r.s through Hugo, Oklahoma and
J Paris. Texas. We arrived at our first
i flopping place at Marshall, Texas,
on October 7. where we Ffent 3 days.
:We left there for Kinder. Louisiana,
on a Monday and arrived there that
evening at 8. We made the 240 miles
in a day.
: We traveled from there towards
our destination via Baton Rouge,
where we crossed the Father of
Waters, the Mighty Mississippi, tak
ing a steam ferry. We then drove
: on to Mobile. Alabama whe re we
again ferried the bay. It took two
hours and there were more than 50
autos on board, all bound for Florida.
I We then crossed the line of Florid. i
and again ferried a river near Peti-
(sarola. We arrived at Sebring, Flori
da, on October 25th. having of course,
trouble with that Ford.
! We turned over in Oklahoma ami
I suffered a fractured rib and Tom
Hamilton, of Union, who drove with
. us, suffered a sprained finger. IIow -ever,
we reloaded the Ford in an hour
'and were again happily on our way.
I We find Sebring, Florida, is a boom
town. Boildirgs cannot be put up
fast enough. In fact, material do-s
not reach here fast enough. The town
