THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
LESSON III., JAN. 18; ACTS 17: 1-12
—PAUL’S TRAVELS.
Golden Text—“Thy Word le a Lamp
to My Feet"— Psa. 119: 105—The
Result of Paul’c Labors in Thessalo
nica.
1. Paul's Mission at Thessalonlca —Vs.
1-3. 1. “Now when they.” Paul, Silas,
nnd Timothy (Acts 16:1-3, 23). "Through
Amphipolla and Appollnnln they came to
Thessalonlca, where was a synagogue of
the Jews." A basis of gospel work.
2. “And Paul, as his manner” (cus
tom) was." “To the Jew first" was his
wise custom, because they had been
trained in the Scriptures and were best
prepared to receive the fulfilment of the
promises In Jesus Christ, "i'hree Sab
bath days." That Is, three weeks with
their Sabbaths. "He reasoned with them.”
The verb means to speak back and forth
as In conversation or dialogue. “Out
of the scriptures.” The source of proof
that Jesus was the Messiah, and the
common ground which all accepted as
true. “And alleging," setting before,
placing beside or near. Paul set forth
the arguments that proved that the
"Christ" (the Messiah they were look
ing for) “must needs have suffered." He
Is so pictured In the Scriptures. And any
one claiming to be the Messiah, who did
not suffer as foretold in Isa. 53, could not
be the true Messiah. Paul showed them
that only by suffering could the Messiah
be a Prince and Deliverer, and found the
kingdom of heaven among men, and then
he showed them that It was equally
necessary that he must have "risen again
from the dead," for only as a living
Savior triumphant over death could he be
the promised Deliverer nnd King. "And
that this Jesus." Kxactly and perfectly
fulfilled these conditions and was there
fore the “Christ."
11. Results of Paul's Labors.—Vs. 4
10. A. The Founding of a Flourishing
Church, with Many Christian Relievers.
—V. 4: 2 Thes. 2:1. The church was com
posed of three or four classes: (1) 4.
"And some of them" (of the Jews) "be
lieved." or. were persuaded to accept of
Jesus as their Messiah. "And consorted
with Paul." The translation, consorted,
gives the Impression of outward associa
tion chiefly, but the word has a much
deeper significance. They literally made
the lot and portion of these humble dis
ciples their own for this world and the
next, forsaking all else. (2) "And of the
devout Greeks." Religious proselytes to
the Jewish religion, who were less re
strained by their past history, from ac
cepting Jesus as tile Messiah, and hence
“a great multitude" became Christians.
B. A Great Moral Upheaval. Turning
the World Upside Down.—Vs. 5-10.
5. "But the Jews which believed not.”
The opposition, as usual, began with the
Jews, because they were the one* most
affected by the suceess of the Gospel.
“Moved with envy.” Jealousy at their
own decline and the growth of Chris
tianity. "Set all the city on an uproar."
Made such a disturbance as affected the
whole city. "Assaulted the house of
Jason." A Jew. whose original name was
Joshua, of which Jason Is the Greek
equivalent (2 Mace. 4:7). Without doubt,
the host of Paul and Silas, a Thessalon
lan and a Christian convert. "Bring them
out to the people.” So that the excited
mob might Inflict summary vengeance
on them.
S. "They drew" (dragged with violence)
"Jason" (as a Christian and harborer of
Paul) "and certain brethren," as the
nearest substitutes on which to vent
their passions. "These that have turned
the world upside down." A testimony to
the power and extent of Christianity.
"Are come hither also." From Philippi,
where similar opposition had been
aroused The business of the gospel is
to turn the world upside down. It turns
the world upside down because the wrong
aide is up, and the gospel has come to
put the moral world right side up. And
by the help of God the Christian Church
has to do this work, can do it, and can
alone do it.
7. "Whom Jason hath received.” and
so Is partuker in the wrong charged
against Paul and Silas as a confederate.
"These all do contrary to the decrees of
Caesar.” Referring to the successive de
crees of the emperors ugalnst treason.
"Saying that there Is another king, one
Jesus.” It was very easy to misappre
hend the Christian teaching about Christ
as a King of whose kingdom the apostles
were heralds. Jesus himself had been
misunderstood and his words pervgrted.
8. "They troubled the people and the
ru’.ers." They could find no good charge
against these people, who were by fur
the best citizens, and yet there was dan
ger, if they took no notice of the charge,
that they themsplves would be charged
with treason, and the freedom of their
city taken away.
9. They got over the difficulty by a
compromise. "When they had taken se
curity.” sufficient, adequate, properly a
pecuniary surety or bail.
10. “Sent away Paul and Silas.” They
left with deep regret. "By night.” To
avoid any Interference from the mob.
111. Paul's Mission to Berea.—Vs. 10
12. 10. "Unto Berea.” A city fifty miles
southwest of Thessalonlca. 11. “These
were more noble.” literally, of more noble
birth; hence, us here, of more noble
character.
This nobility expressed Itself (1) "In
that they received the word with all
readiness of mind." Their minds were
open to all truth from every source. (2)
"And searched the scriptures.” They did
not take things by hearsay, but sought
the truth for themselves.
12. "Therefore," as the result of this
study, "many of them believed; also of
honorable women." Of good position,
rank and wealth, as In Thessalonlca. v.
4. "Which were Greeks." The term
“Greek" belongs both to the men and
women. Paul seems to have remained
some time at Berea, but after a time un
believing Jews from Thessalonlca came
and stirred up so much opposition that
it seemed best for Paul to leave, and he
departed to Athens, leaving Silas and
Timothy for a while longer at Berea.
Practical. 1. There is no escape from'
the conclusion that Ignorance of the
Scriptures Is ignoble. He who has learned
from all other books is still a fool If he
has neglected this. 2. The gospel is not
opposed to the search for truth In all
fields. It welcomes all the discoveries of
science, and gives the right hand of fel
lowship to all sincere investigators, know
ing well that the works of God, rightly
understood, will ever help us to under
stand the Word of God who did the
works.
Proof of God’s Goodness.
There is hardly a circumstance con
nected with our existence which, when
examined with attention, does not
yield abundant evidence of the wisdom
and beneficence which preside over
the universe.
God’s Standard Not Ours.
God's standard of success is not
ours. The greatest triumph ever won
over Satan's kingdom was not a suc
cess before men; it was through a
ci oss of shame.
REED’S METHOD OF WORK.
Would Postpone It to tho Last Minute
for Light Literature.
Many stories are told illustrative of
Reed's methods of work. He was ex
tremely fond of what Is called ’’light
literature” and would postpone work
on a task he had before him to the
last possible moment in order to fin
ish some story or romance. He
always managed to get up steam, how
ever, In time to complete his work.
For weeks before his graduation
from college he was buried in the
treasures of fiction contained in a
friend's library. The number of
speakers for commencement day had
been changed that year from fifteen
to ten, and Reed wras reminded of the
fact by a college mate.
“Time enough yet. Why I have five
weeks!” he answered.
"But the other fellows have been
working five months!”
"Never mind,” he answered as he
went on with his reading, “I’ll have a
place on the program.” And he aid
so, standing fifth on the list of com
mencement orators.
Next to fiction he was fondest of
oratory. He was a student of parlia
mentary law' and of oratory long be
fore he himself became an authority
by the publication of the standard
works, "Reed's Rules” and "Modern
Eloquence.”
Another time Reed was asked to
contribute an article to a magazine by
a certain date. As usual, he put it off.
Finally the last night of the allotted
time arrived, and Reed sat down at
his desk, intending to scribble off an
apology for his inability and a refusal
to write the article. Suddenly an idea
occurred to him. He wrote feverishly
until after 2 o'clock the next morning
and finished the article in the cae
sitting.
WAS SIMPLE WHEN EXPLAINED.
But Phonetic Spelling of Name Puz
zled Hotel Clerk.
The man walked up to the hotel
register and signed his name, with a
flourish, “E. K. Phtholognyrrh.” "Look
here. Turner,” said the clerk, who
knew him very well, “is somebody on
your track? Where did you get that
outlandish name?"
“My boy, you’re slow,” replied Tur
ner, airily. "That's my same old name
written in plain English and pro
nounced as it is written—Just Turner.
Look at it. Of course I do it just to
make people guess. They wonder
about my nationality and the pronun
ciation of my name. I can hear them
talR about it. But, as I said before,
it's English spelling.”
"Will you kindly explain?” asked
the clerk.
“‘Phih,’ there is the sound of ‘t’ in
‘phthisis,’ ” began Turner; “ ’olo,’
there is the sound of ‘ur’ in ‘colonel;’
gn,’ there is the ‘n’ in ‘gnat;’ ‘yrrh‘ is
the sound of ‘er’ in ‘myrrh.’ Now if
that does not spell Turner what does
it spell?”
“Weil,” said the clerk, “it is lucky
for me that the majority of men
don’t register their names phoneti
cally.”
Charity Richly Rewarded.
Henry Douglas, an ice wagon driver
of Paducah. Ky., cast his bread upon
the waters, to some purpose. He iharnd
recently that a man ho befriended two
years ago has left him the snug sum
of $5,000. In 1900 a boy tramp, known
as “Greasy Jim,” struck Paducah sick,
penniless and hungry. Douglas gave
the lad clothing and food and a place
to Bleep. In a few weeks the youth
was well again and left town. A few
days ago Douglas received news that
James Holman, a soldier in the Phil
ippines. who died in a Manila hospital,
had named him as his ndxt friend.
This recalled to Douglas’ mind that
“Greasy Jim's” last name was Hoima.n.
He later received a formal notice from
an insurance company that the soldier
Holman had left a life insurance pol
icy to the amount of $5,000, Douglas
being named in the policy as bene
ficiary.
The French Academy.
The French academy is one of the
five academies, and the most eminent,
constituting the institute of France.
It was founded in 1635 by the Cardinal
Richelieu, and reorganized in 1816. It
is composed of forty members, the
new member elected by the remaining
thirty-nine members for life, after per
sonal application and the submission
of their nomination to the head of the
state. It meets twice weekly, at the
palace Mazarin, 23 Quia Conti, Paris,
and is “the highest authority on every
thing appertaining to the niceties of
the French language, to grammar,
rhetoric and poetry, and the publica
tion of the French classics.” The chief
officer is the secretary, who has a life
tenure of his position. A chair in the
academy is the highest ambition of
most literary Frenchmen.

Tidal Waves in Harness.
A proposal is on foot a Hikuraki, in
New Zealand, for the utilization of the
tidal waters of the place in the gener
ation of electricty. The plan is to
build a tunnel through a narrow neck
of land at Pelorus sound, eighty-eight
feet in length. The rise and fall of
the tide at this place varies from six
feet and seven feet to ten feet and
eleven feet, and the tunnel would, it
is said, command 50,000 acres of tidal
water. It is not stated how the powei
would be generated, but presumably
the tunnel would be made below the
level of the lowest ebb tide and tur
bines would be installed at either end
of the tunnel. The scheme has been
taken up by a local company, which
has a capital of $375,000.

WHATTHEY HOPEFOR
BRITISH INDUSTRIES DEPRESSED
BY OUR TARIFF.
They Are Extremely Anxious That It
Shall Be So Revised and Recon
structed as to Give Them the Privi
lege of Larger Sales in the United
States.
In a cablegram of Nov. 19, printed
by the New York Sun, Sir William
Preece, ex-president of the Institution
of Civil Engineers, is reported as tell
ing some plain truths in an address
delivered before the Society of Arts.
Among other things Sir William said
that British commercial and industrial
supremacy had practically ceased,
largely owing to lack of commercial
education and obsolete business habits
and also to lack of commercial pa
triotism and the free trade fallacy.
The nations which had not adopted
free trade flourished more than the
solitary nation that had adopted it.
He instanced the protection of their in
dustries by the Americans, whose pol
icy was dictated by imense patriot
ism. If the Americans were right in
principle and successful in practice,
the whole policy of the United King
dom was founded in gigantic error and
must lead to commercial ruin.
Two days later the view of Sir Wil
liam Preece regarding the folly of ad
hering to free trade In the face of the
object lessons furnished by protected
America was strongly reinforced by a
statement of the bad conditions, which
prevail in the Yorkshire manufactur
ing district. The London correspond
ent of the New York Tribune cables to
that paper that the "Yorkshire manu
facturers continue to complain of de
clining trade with the United States.
While there has beeu a meager gain
of $103,500 in exports from Leeds to
the United States during the last 12
months compared with 1901, It can he
explained by shipments of -wool and
iron rather than by an improvement
in the woolen trade or metal manufac
turers. The Bradford district, whose
prosperity depends largely upon a
brisk trade with the United States, is
disappointed with the result of the
present tariff, and the manufacturers
are forced to admit that the American
market is now mainly supplied with
home goods. Huddersfield has suffered
less than Bradword, since it exports
to New York the finest qualities of
worsted and woolen goods, but its
manufacturers find cause for com
plaining in the shrinkage of the Amer
ican demand. The textile trades of
Leeds are suffering from the same
cause, and merchants are forced to
send their goods to other markets,
which are not supplied with home
manufactures. Expoits of machin
ery, steel rods and iron from Leeds
to the United States have fallen dur
ing the last quarter even from the
low level of the preceding year. It
is not difficult to convince Yorkshire
merchants, either in the textile or
metal trades, that the American tarlfT
since it was reconstructed the last
time has stimulated home production
and operated against British Indus
tries. The general efficiency of that
tarifT as a defensive measure for re
serving the home market for home
manufacturers tempts many among
them to express dissatisfaction with
the prevailing conditions of one-sided
English free trade without reciprocity
from any colony except Canada."
When the tariff was reconstructed
the time before the last the manufac
turers of Great Britain had no such
complaint to make. So pleased were
they with the tariff reconstruction of
1894 that they banqueted William L.
Wilson and showered no end of com
pliments upon President Cleveland.
The DIngley tarifT changed ail that. It
has so stimulated home production
that British producers mourn the loss
of a “great and good friend” and a
great and good market. They are
earnestly hoping that tariff revision
sentiment will once more prevail.
FUTILE AND WORTHLESS.
The Only Thing a Tariff Commission
Could Do Would Be to Work Mis
chief.
The Des Moines Register and Lead
er, a newspaper conspicuously strenu
ous for any or all sorts of tariff tinker
ing, qoutes the following from a recent
Issue of the American Economist:
“The creation of a permanent tariff
commission is favored by the New
York Evening Post, not because such
a body would have any power to ‘re
form’ the tariff, for it would be abso
lutely powerless to do that, but be
cause the existence of the commission
would widen the schism In the#Repub
lican party and furnish to Gov. Cum
mins, Congressman Babcock, Director
of the Mint Roberts and others of that
ilk the chance to churn up things."
As if this were not sufficiently ex
plicit, Mr. Roberts’ paper asks:
“Why does not the Economist have
courage enough to say what it means?
't was President Roosevelt who sug
gested a permanent tariff commission
and who has urged its creation. If
President Roosevelt is planning to dis
rupt the Republican party why not
bring the charge home to him directly
and not beat about the bush?”
Lack of courage and directness of
expression has net, we believe, been
the record or the repute of the Ameri
can Economist. The tariff-ripping
mouthpiece of the Director of the Mint
is the first to make that discovery. In
the hope of clearing up the situation
we beg to say, as explicitly as words
can say it, that this paper deprecates
and opposes the tariff commission idea
as both foolish and futile. The fact
that the plan is urged by any particu
lar person who happens to hold tiny
particular office does not make the
plan any the less foolish or futile. It
is a plan that in our opinion could not
possibly work any good to the cause
of protection or to the Republican par
ty. It has been tried before, and it
worked much mischief, for it made a
good tariff very much worse, and it
was forthwith followed by the elec
tion of a free trade President. Sena
tor Allison oppcses it as impracticable
and useless. The late ex-Speaker
Reed, in the December issue of the
North American Review, said of it:
“But can we not have, sitting in per
petual session, a body of men. non
partisan, judicious, wise and incor
ruptible? Yes, in your mind. You can
have anything in your mind. Imagina
tion is unlimited, and it is very de
lightful to wander round among pos
sible impossibilities. Just think of a
non-partisan free-trader sitting on a
tariff tax! Of course, he would be
above any prejudice except his own.
I saw one tariff commission sit in 1882,
and its report was not enacted into
law. All its mistakes were, and the
result was satisfactory to nobody.”
The American Economist does not
want to see the folly and the failure
of 1882 repeated, no matter who favors
It. We t vst the Des Moines Register
and Leader will regard this statement
as sufficiently explicit.—Americar
Economist.
“I’ll Break Kim Up in Business!”
And He Did.
Beet and Sugar Cane.
It Is announced that the sugar re
fining trust has reduced the price of
sugar at the East ten cents per 100
pounds to meet an alleged cut of the
Arbuckles, who are also refiners,
made a few days before. This an
nouncement is important as showing
that even so powerful a trust as the
American Sugar Refining company
cannot escape competition, and the
greater their profits the stronger and
the quicker the competition. Capital
is abundant, is constantly accumulat
ing, and is the one thing which there
is no hope of ever combining under
single control.
But the probabilities are that the
cuts of both these refining companies
were compelled by the increasing
I competition of beet sugar. The pro
duction of beet sugar in the West has
already overrun the consuming capac
ity of the territory directly tributary
tc the factories, and the surplus is
struggling for an outlet. The present
crop will be the largest on record,
and markets must be found in addi
tion to those hitherto held. There
was a contest at Missouri river points
last year, and there will doubtless be
another. Every year the beet sugar
output Increases, and with increased
production the refining trust is asked
to give up new territory. Naturally
it does not like this and fights. Nat*
urally, also, it spends money to se»
cure a reciprocity treaty with Cuba,
whose sugar plantations lie close by
its factories. We do not believe it
will ever get it.—San Francisco
Chronicle.
The People Understand.
As Senator Hale says, the Dingley
act has given the people of the United
States more revenue, more business,
more trade and more prosperity than
any bill ever enacted. The people un
derstand this, and the late elections
show, with certain exceptions, entire
content exists under present condi
tions. That it would be folly to dis
turb such conditions goes without say
ing. It Is satisfactory to note that
according to the sentiment of
members of Congress now arriving in
Washington, theie is no general de
sire for a revision of the tariff at the
coming session.—Massillon (Ohio)
Independent.
