Lesson
BY REV- J.3.KIRTLEY. D D
December 31. A Glance Backward.
Connection.
E SHALL look back over the way
we have come, but we must not
fail to carry the history of the period,
the period that we might call "The
Thirty Years' War" In the establishing
of Christianity, following the ascent of
the Savior. This story is appropriately
called the Acts, or doing of the body
of believers, with a few men in the
lead.
Note well these transitions. Chris
tianity began In Jerusalem and went
out Into the whole Roman Empire. Its
first center of growth and distribution
was Jerusalem, Its second Antloch. Its
first great leader was Peter, its next
and the greatest leader any cause ever
had was Paul. During the first years
the gospel was scattered out with every
believer who traveled till it reached
Rome. Most of the work was done by
the unofficial and loving believers as
they preached, "chatted," as the word
means, while at their work and as they
Journeyed The period is really longer
than 30 years, but not much. Paul was
on his last dash out to the Important
peaces and we see him achieving a long
cherished purpose to preach at Rome,
but how differently from the way he
had planned it out.
THE LESSON.
I.
Paul Reaches Rome.
1. Escapes assassination. Acts xxill.
He wanted to go right on to Rome at
that time and had had definite assur
ance that he would gratify his desires
some time. It was a passion to preach
Christ where it would count for most
and he could do more good at the
world's capital than anywhere else. It
would take a great man to make an
Impression at that spot. It was a con
viction that he ought to preach there.
He had expressed that desire in vari
ous letters that we have, especially a
letter written to the church at Rome
which was made up of people of all
strains of blood. He was on a trip to
Jerusalem to take gifts from Gentile
Christians to the famine-stricken be
lievers In Judea and expected to go on
to Rome very soon. But on the way to
Judea he was assured by a prophet
that he was to be bound in chains as a
prisoner. That didn't deter him, for he
knew God's invisible hand was gulld
lng him. They arrested him in the
temple on a false charge, tried to kill
him and he was rescued by the Roman
soldiers. A plot wag formed to kill
him, but It was detected and he was
hurried off to ti e official headquarters
of the Roman government at Caesarea.
That victory was won, but he was In
prison.
2. Intimidates a Ruler. Acts xxiv.
He outwits his accusers and requires
a real trial. His enemies fail to make
out any case and Felix, the ruler, knew
it. But Paul was a preacher, an am
bassador of Christ, wherever he was
and whatever his condition. When sel
fish and corrupt Felix listened to him
Paul gave him Just what he needed, a
doctrine of temperance, righteousness
and Judgment to come. The ruler trem
bled but postponed a decision. When
a man postpones he usually grows
worse. Felix did. He held Paul two
years in prison, thinking he had some
rich friends who would pay him a big
bribe for the release of their leader.
Even if Paul and his friends could
have easily bought his release, he
would have not have been willing to
corrupt a soul for such a consideration.
3. Demands a Hearing Before
fcaesar. Acts xxv. That was his
privilege. He made the decision not
till all other means of securing Jus
tice .were exhausted. As a Roman cit
izen he could have demanded that at
first, but the divine leading was not
plain. There was work to do and there
were experiences to gain In prison that
would influence many people of that
time and of all times. He didn t ex
actly know what was being accom
plished, but he knew God was working
at some special purpose. Once he an
nounced the decision to appeal, the only
thing to do was to arrange for his re
moval to Rome.
4. A Wayside Ministry. Acts xxvi.
It was another sermon before a ruler.
this time before royalty. Festus, who
had succeeded Felix, had a visit from
King Agrippa and brought out Paul
to tell his story, mainly as a matter of
entertainment, but the sermon before
Agrippa brings out truths that need
to be known the resurrection of
Christ, the need of him by all, the
power of Christian courage, the will
ingness of the true disciple to tell of
Christ to the most unpromising hear
ers. Agrippa dismisses him with a sort
of sneer about trying to make al Chris
tian of him with a few words and
little ceremony, yet ho recognizes and
says that his enemies have no case
against him.
5. On the Story Seas. Acts xxvll.
At last on his way to Rome he was
glad, even though In chains and con
trolled by soldiers. It was enough to
know that he had started and that God
had a purpose in letting him go that
way. , Already he had made Inroads
on the Roman army and the Influence
of his wonderful character and his un
usual conduct would have its effect
on all whom the good centurion and
the "men of good will" should meet
in Rome. He also sowed the gospel
seeds In the souls of many passengers
and some of them must have accepted
Christ. He opened a mission work on
the island of Malta, where they were
wrecked. The reputation he gained
for himself was the reputation he made
for God, and all those people and
perhaps many of their kindred and
friends not on the boat had a new
view of God and ultimately some of
them became Christians, through their
testimony.
6. In winter quarters. Acts xxvli
xxvlll. It was on the island of Malta
where they were cast ashore. Two
things are to be noted. One Is that,
though he had definite assurance from
God that he and the crew would be
saved, yet he showed that God's prom
ises are conditioned on our compliance
with his requirements, and he told
the crew they would have to stay on
the boat or be lost, even after he had
told them God had promised to save
them. He never saw any contradiction
in the two statements and there was
none. The other is that he came easily
into command of the whole company.
And still another thing that he made
friends for the rest of the crew as well
as for himself as he did the good he
found to do on the island. For the
rulers fixed them up many "good
things" for the journey when they em
barked for Rome.
7. A message sent on in advance.
Romans xiv-xv. He wrote that mes
sage about temperance In all things
long before he started on that last
trip to Jerusalem. The Christians
who had been Jews were troubled over
the matter of clean and unclean meat
and were disposed to be censorious
with those who didn't see it as they
did. while the Gentile Christians would
poke fun at them for such stupid
things. There are two principles that
he brings out. One is thai one must
be In perfect command of oneself, so
that one can do or not do. The other
is that for 4he sake of the weal
nesses of others we have the privUese
of waiving our rights to do as we
please. It's a fine things to make a
sacrifice when It will not do us any
harm, but will do others some good.
That holds good in eating and other
things. It's a blessed thing to bear
another's burden. Xou don't set that
chance so very often and you must not
let an opportunity get by.
8. On to Rome from Malta. Acts
xviii. After the long voyage, the long
Winter on the Island. the utter
lack of Christian companionship aside
from Luke, the writer of the story,
who was evidently ' with Paul, he was
swept away with emotion when he
landed at Puteoli and found "breth
ren" and tarried seven days and
later was met at Applus by brethren
from Rome to whom the word had
been sent that the great Paul had
come, and a little further at Three
Taverns more met him.
9. A message of consecration. Rom
ans xll. They were to present them
selves In their bodies an offering to
God which would be like the old sac
rifice. The gift was made sacred. It
was a good lesson to those who let the
body run away with them and to those
who thought the body debasing to a
Christian. That offering Is not easy,
but it Is for the sake of others as well
as pleasing to God. That makes them
efficient as members of the body ot
Christ.
II.
John Sees Christ.
Lessons 9-12 tell of Christ's reap
pearance to his devoted John, then in
prison for Christ's sake. and sends
one the Master's messages to seven
churches a pictorial history of what
was to come and a wonderful state
ment of the triumphs of his cause and
the bliss of heaven. That heartrending
message was needed just then.

BV WILLIAM BYRON FORBU3H.PHP.
(Copyright. 1010.)
T was Just before the last quarter
of the great football game at the
University of Pennsylvania. The
eleven was losing the game and. worse
than that, appeared to be losing Its
punch." Their famous coach. Mike
Murphy, leaped Into the locker-room
and thus addressed them: "Boys,
you'vo got to win this garnet If you
can't win for the sake of old Penn
if you won't win for tha sake of your
mothers and sweethearts get Into the
game and win for me!"
And they won. For the love of Mike.
Do you know of anybody who could
say a thing like that and not De
laughed at? That a man should talk
like this and then actually be followed
to victory seems Incredible to you. But
It doesn't seem so to your high school
son. He has often felt that way him
self. The appeal of the hero Is lo Mm
the supreme appeal.
Boy Wunta Live Ones.
Wise leaders have dimly realized the
force of hero-worship In the lives of
the young. Wendell Phillips uttered a
glowing; sentence once about how "slav
ery was hurled from her throne by
young men dreaming by patriots'
graves." That was but a half truth. A
few living heroes did the Job very much
better. We depend too much upon
heroes In books, even so good a book
as the Bible. We do not realize that
some live boy or man Just around the
corner Is making all tho dead heroes
look pallid.
Do you remember how, after Penrod
met Rupe Collins, the bully, he com
menced to abuse his own dog, twisted
the fingers and squeezed the necks of
all the boys In the neighborhood, as
sumed a hoarse and rasping laugh and
became bumptious around the house?
And nobody could guess why. When
ever a boy or a girl acts "queer" or
unnatural, you can be pretty sure he is
imitating somebody. It is an act of
hero-worship.
Humor of Hcro-Wonhlp.
It pays to discover our children's
heroes. It is worth while to analyze
them, to see why they are so attractive.
Here are a few typical Instances. A
boy was asked whom he would choose
to see first when he got to heaven.
"Collar." he shouted. He wanted the
strong man. A boy was allowed to
decorate his own room. He took down
an expensive picture of the Roman
Forum and a reproduction of some
body's Holy Family, and made a frieze
of prizefighters and baseball players.
Another boy hung around a store all
Summer where a semi-professional
pitcher worked and did all Borts of er
rands for him without pay. and was In
the height of glory when he walked be
side him to the ball grounds, carrying
nis oats anu Kioves.
Few boys are without heroes. Swift
found that among 255 boys in a certain
reformatory 54 had never seen or
heard of anybody whom they partlcu-
larly admired, and to 28 .of them
George Washington was tho nearest
available hero. These boys, however,
would be sure to find heroes after they
got out of confinement, if they did not
already make them in the reformatory.
And their tragedy would bo that they
would probably chooso the damaged
kind.
"Mike" WsM strona.
The one quality that a boy admires
seems to be strennth, power of achieve
ment. It Is natural for him to appre
ciate only the superficial kind of
strength. ,
This explains why most boys do not
make heroes of their own fathers. The
rotund business man or the pale stu
dent may be performing bis and unself
ish work in the world, but It is easier
for a boy to recognizo father as an
'old pod" than as a. hero. Even the
son of the technical engineer I, usually
more familiar with the tiresome blue
prints of the office than with the dar
ing bridge that spans the gorge.
It is Important that our children
should have heroes. It Is more impor
tant that they should have the right
kind of heroes. About the only wary
you can guide a boy in the right way.
so Kirtley tells us. Is through folks
who are going that way themselves.
I remember how fortunate I was
with my sons' Sunday school teacher.
He had been a Yale right end. He was
a wholesome, princely fellow. My boys
would rather be like Frank Werneken
than any other man alive. As I see It
now, I would go so far as to change
Sunday schools or even to take my
children out of Sunday school alto
gether until I could be sure they had
an admirable teacher.
So In the public school. They had a
red-headed Irishman, who used to throw
about one boy a day through the door.
But he was a Joy to behold. He got
heroic work out of my offspring, and
he put sand into them for other things
besides school.
We are getting a good many fathers
today who can qualify In this field.
They are their sons' heroes. They are
outdoor men who mitigate clerical oc
cupations with amateur sport.
The father who cannot do this must
find somebody who can. It may be
teacher, tutor or friend . We shall be
fortunate If he Is great enough to fill
the waiting niche in the youth's tem
ple of admiration.
YonnKiten Grow Up Too Soon.
To the Editor: There seem to be .- stage
In the growth of boys and girls when they
want to ape thj ways of grown-ups. My
daughter Just now trios the most elaborato
coiffures worn by society women and my son
Is blossoming out in radiant neckties that do
cruel hings to his complexion. Can 1 help
their taste without exciting their opposition?
They don't covet suggestions. MIRIAM B.
The girl is reaching forward to her
womanhood. The boy.is trying to cover
up his awkwardness by what he thinks
to be beautiful raiment. 1 know of one
mother who gave her daughter' a pretty
barrette (is that the right name?) so
that she might fasten her hair In a

The' Laugh of a Life-time!

loose coll at the back of her neck. This
allured her away from a mass of "wa
ter" waves that her chum had arranged
for her. To cull attention to the beauty
of women whose hair is arranged sim
ply und softly may be helpful. The
essential Is to hold up positively charm
ing examples, rather than to lose pa
tience and become sattrlcal.
As for the boy, W it not possible that
a skilful monologue on the fact that
green and purple are more becoming
for u livid complexion than crimson
might be gratefully received? To pre

Indifference of Youth Sees.
To the Edltoril think yeu havo dealt with
the question of brother and sisters quarrel

that they quarrel In my house; they seem

our friends are always surprising us.
Do you know a great many adult broth
ers and sisters who keen up a closn
intimacy? I don't.
You can better this situation some
what if you start early. Don't let the
younger child always be a drag on th
older one. Don't make the older on
always a nursemaid. Don't let tho
younger one whine around him or
tease htm. Make the younger one de
sirable by giving him personal toys
that the older has to treat with htm to
share. Invent plays where the younger
Is needed, and not always needed as a
victim. In general let each child have
his own things and If possible his own
room. Tbey will like each other bet
ter If each comes out of his sanctuary
at time to meet the other than as if
they were brawling around always, in
compulsory confinement together over
their common possessions. Play up the
virtues of each, not to the point ot
envy or Jealousy, but In order that
each may look kindly on the heroism
of the other.
