Scnted nbout a tnblo at dinner in a loop restaurant recently, threo Uummond residents carried on a animated conversation ubout golf. Earlier the talk had dealt with ani mals, aitlllclal Ico and Admiral Sims' fcpeech, but had veered around due to it sincere effort on the part of two women present to please their male escort, Freddie Becknmn, champion umnteur golfer of Uammond. Since thlw Btory deals particularly wltli Freddy, it must bo understood lio has several laudable characteris tics and accomplishments. Heckman really is a good golfer. Hack in civil ization he is at n disadvantage be causo of his ucuto bashfulness, but this allllctlon Is remedied for him In circumstances demanding Instant ac tion. Heckman was very polite and nod tied briskly whenever ho wns appealed to during the golf discussion, but sig nally failed to register enthusiasm. Golf Ball to Rescue. It was Just after the conversation had swung back to animals thnt Heck man's moment came. Ills companions, Jlrs. Elcive Aloys and "L. M.,' had Just finished their dessert when an uproar arose near the band. A woman shrieked and another nnd a third. As 0:10 person, patrons of that entire end of the restaurant rose to their feet and mounted chairs. "It's a mouse and coming this way," cried Mrs. Meyn to Freddy. There was no question It was a sec ond Just made for the amateur golf champ of Hammond. Ills hand stolo Into his coat packet and brought out a golf ball. It was one he had made a hole In "1" with Just the day before, and ho was keeping It as a souvenir. Hnlnnelng the ball In his hnnil, he gazed earnestly at the Hoeing rodent, headed straight for him. Then he swung his arm In a long underhnud stroke and let the ball lly. It Hew across the ten feet of spneo between Freddy and the mouso with a "swish. Perhaps the mouse moved a triile or maybe the ball was not ex actly round at any rate, ,the shot wished by a hair. Gets the Rodent.

The waiter had remained to nil op penrauces petrified after tho first shriek, following the discovery of the rodent, but at the advent of the golf bnll he bounded up with a howl. A platter of food and drink In Ills hands fell to tho floor and his .nouns rose louder as he saw tho extent of tho casualties. As the platter fell, Heckman watched it with pop eyes, aud then, as the last echo of the crash died away, he murmured to his compan ions: "By gosh, I got that mouse after all." Yes, you have guessed It the plat ter killed the mouse. Freddy's shot cost him $7.70 and a golf ball, how ever.

This marks the beginning or foreign missions ns the deliberately planned enterprise of the church. I. The Gifts of the Church at Antl och (v. I). Young as Antloch, the new religious center, was, she had prophets and teachers. Such arc essential to churcli lite. Indeed, they are never absent rrom the true church. In Kphoslnns 4:s-12 lniil says that when Christ as cended He gave gltts unto men tor the purpose or perfecting ttie saints unto the work of the ministry. i II. Barnabas and Saul Sent Forth (vv.A . While the tlve ministers were pray ing and fasting, the Spirit of God com manded them to send forth Harnnlms niKl Saul. The' work of evungellzlng the world was laid so heavily upon these men that they refrained trom eat ing In order to seek the will of the Lord In prayer. This Is the kind of fasting that meets God's approval. From the fact that they were directed to send forth those whom the Spirit called, we learn that the real call to Christ's service comes trom the Spirit. The Spirit calls and the church sec onds the motion by sending those who are called. They bent the very best men from the church at Antloch. III. Preaching the Word of God Iri Cyprus (vv. 4, 0). We nre not told ns to why they first went to Cyprus, but we Infer that It was because It was the home of Bar nabas. It Is most natural that those who have heard good news should go with It llrst to their kindred nnd friends. As they went forth they preached the Word or God; not civic righteousness, current history, philoso phy, etc. The great need today Is Spirit-called and Splrit-Illlcd meu preaching God's Word. IV. Withstood by Elymai the Sor cerer (vv. 0-11'). When liarnalias nnd Saul by Invltn tlou were telling Serglus rati I us of the Word of God, IJIymas maliciously sought to turn his mind trom the raltli. This Is the first obstacle they encoun tered. This opposer Is the same ono who enme to Adam In lidon and t Iomis In the wilderness. He Is Mm enemy or God and num. He now seeks to bar the gospel as it enters upon Its career of the conversion or the hea then. Saul denounced him In the most scathing terms, calling hlinllio child otr the devil, full of guile and villainy, and pronounced him the enemy or all right eousness, accusing him or perverting the right wnys of the I.nrd. Happily, tho deputy heeded Saul' teaching and believed the gospel. It was In this connection thnt Saul's namo was chnnged to Paul. V. In the Synagogue at Antloch lr Pisldia (vv. 15, 10). From Pnphos Paul nnd Barnnbns won't northward to Pergn. Front Pergn they went into Antloch In PI- sldln, where they entered tho. syna gogue on the Sabbath day. Though ho was sent to the Gentiles ho does not depart from the order of begin ning with the Jews. After tho usual reading of tho Scriptures, upon the Invitation of the rulers, Paul deliv ered the discourse recorded In verses; 17-41. This sermon Is worthy of care-, ful study. It consists of four parts: (1) Historical (vv. 17-2.!); apologet-i leal (vv. 21-37); (3) doctrinal, (vv.. 8. 30) ; (4) practical (vv. 40. 41). Iti sets forth tho missionary message fori nil times nnd lands. Its essence; should ever bo the same. In this ser-f nimi ho presented the glorified andj risen Christ as the Savior from slnr basing his proof upon the testimony orj living,, witnesses nnd the Inspired! Word. : VI. The Effect of the Sermon (vv.j 12-.r)l). , Many of tho Jews nnd proselytes' requested them to speak to them again. Almost tho whole city camo to hear the Word of God tho next Sabbath. This great crowd Incited the Jealousy or the Jews. This Jeal ousy could not long be restrained; It. broke out In open opposition. This opposition was in turn answered tiy Paul's rejection of them and tnrnlnj' to the Gentiles. Learn tho True Wusdom. Lenrn, O student, the true wisdom.'
