The lessons of the quarter gather •bout Paul. The review therefore will have to do with his character, service •nd teachings. A good method of re view Is to study the salient points with the lending teachings of each lesson. The following suggestions are •ffered: October 4. Paul took advantage of tho oppor tunity to preach the gospel to the Jews in the synagogue at Athens, and to such of the Gentiles and Jews as were found In the market-place, call ing upon all to repent because of God’s appointed day of judgment by Jesus Christ. October 11. Though compelled to work for a liv ing while getting a foothold in Corinth, Paul zealously preached the gospel even in the face of violent opposition. In this time of his great need God en couraged him by giving him a vision. God always comes to the help of Ilis servants In their greatest need. October It. The Spirit’s best gift Is love. It Is best because of Its essential qualities and also becauae every believer can have and exercise It October 29. . Paul with dauntless courage preached the gospel at Ephesus, and here his preaching resulted In a glorious awak ening. Where the gospel is preached la the power of the Holy Spirit men will believe In Christ and turn from their wicked ways, even giving up wrong kinds of business. November 1. The Christian has a strong enemy to flfht, a personal being called the devil. He must meet him In offensive and defensive warfare. Ills strength and armor are from the Lord. The way to get strength to wage the con flict la by prayer to God. November 8. Paul with undaunted courage pressed on toward Jerusalem, knowing that bonds and affliction awaited him. As he took leave of the Ephesian elders he warned them of the false teachers who would arise among them, and as sured them that he had declared the whole counsel of God. November 19. Despite Paul's eagerness to concili ate the people In Jerusalem, he was arrested. Because of his passion to preach the gospel, he witnessed to the angry mob which was striving to kill him. November 22. Though falsely accused and ar raigned before the wicked governor, Paul with becoming dignity and courtesy defended himself In such a way as to win the favor of Felix. November 29. Paul defended himself before Agrlp- pa and so wisely and confidently used the Scriptures ns to almost i>er»uade Agrlppa to become a Christian. December 6. Paul's behavior on the voyage and during the shipwreck displayed his sublime faith In God as well us his remarkable bravery and common sense. December 13. Upon Paul’s arrival In Rome he was greatly heartened by the reception given him by the brethren who came to meet him. Paul was intensely hu man. He, like his Lord, craved human fellowship. December ?0. If the summary of Paul’s life was the lesson used on this Sunday, the review should be the vision of the veteran soldier of the cross, near the close of bis life, declaring, “I have fought a good tight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: there Is therefore laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me at that day." If the Christmas lesson was used for this day, the method of review , should be to picture the wise men seeking Jesus, Herod seeking to kill Him, and the finding of Jesus in Beth lehem. , PRUDENCE’S DAUGHTER | if !

' Tha Harmers are Invited to the annual TBftBARNWBLL PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA •ST. , • ‘'Then'after’kii you r da try okj—• little—’• she began eagerly, unaM« to voice the hope that was almost a prayer within her heart "Oh- Jerry, a very .great deal,” he whispered. ' • ’ • • • * • Jerry felt Ahe could not possibly know a greater happiness than she felt In showing Duane her houses a few wepksHater when he was Out of the hospital and quite himself again. Under his Interest, his admiration, his unbounded pride In her accomplish ment, she glowed with a glad delight. “It Isn’t really the y^ork,” she ex plained, leaning back against the ban ister of a circular staircase which had coat her two hundred dollars more thani her figures had allowed. “It is Just like play, with something to show for It besides. Two things to show for it—a sweet Jit tie place for someone to live and set an example to the neigh borhood, In the first place.” She paused Impressively. ’‘~T 7 ~ “And In the second place,” Duane encouraged her, reaching almost as by habit, for her eager expressive young hands, his eyete feasting upon the radi ance of her beauty. “And in the second place, the bank account of Fairy Geraldine Harmer!” “Do you kpow what is goiug to sound the sweetest thing In the world one of these days?” he asked very softly, very soberly, drawing her to him. He whispered the rest “Jerry Allerton.” Jerry flushed “deeply, and her bril liant eyes gave- him a dazzling glance beneath the cloudy lashes. “Come quickly, and see the rest of the house,” she begged. • *••••• There were other brooding, harassed, middle western fathers who foresaw 111 results for the entire prairie land in Jerry’s Joyous romance. ‘It was Irvin Weatherly who voiced this fear to Jerrold. ”I’m surprised you’d permit' such a thing,” he said plaintively. "You’re aettlng a bad example fot all the girls In town. You ough^ to talk to Jerry.” Jerrold did not understand. "Why, they’ll all be setting off to New York to study Art,” he protested. “The town’s fuU of It. Every place you go they talk*of nothing else—Art, Art, Art—and they’re all dabbing at dishes’ and drawing figures on table cloths and sprigging flowers on good mirrors. The place is alive with It.” “That’s queer,” said Jerry’s father. "I can't say I ever noticed we had such a passlop for Art among us.” “Well, I reckon they flgttra-4o do as Jerry did. She didn’t bring home aay "Jerry," He Said, "You’ve Got to Ad mit it Wee^ Treating Me Pretty Badly." voice was weak, “you’ve got to admit It was treating me pretty badly.” He looked up at her, not smiling now. And Jerry stood over him, her eyes melting into his, agonizingly in tense." Suddenly she wilted. Tears rushed Into her eyes, the proud little chin drooped and quivered. She turned, a crushed and broken figure, toward her mother, even in that hour of its renunciation the tender dream of tier youth dying hard within her, and cried despairingly: “I can’t help it! Maybe It is a dif ferent kind—the feeling Is Just -the same.” She dropped on her knees beside the bed, the pain In her face, the shadow in her eyes, yielding to a Joyous radi ance as site pressed her Ups against his shoulder. ■ ’ Our Thanks 1 Our thanks should be as fervent for nercles received as our petitions for •ought Must Enjoy Work v No ona who does not enjoy work can truly anjoy anything else.—Ray- TkxnksKlving dinner dance at the club. CHAPTER IX.—At the dance Duane takes the opportunity of telling Jerry, of hla love and begs- her to overlook hit behavior In New York. She re fuses to accept his explanations or his declaration of love. (CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK) . CHAPTER XI ♦ f How Jerry Loved There wga a nurse in the room, hut at a sign from the one who. brought them, hhe went out, quickly, smiling back over her shoulder. Duane lay very still on the whlte„bed. His eyaa were closed. The olive tan of his skin wts ivory white. He opened his eyes and a warm brightness flashed into them when he saw Jerry beside him. He smiled— that whimsical, tender smile whose gay effrontery had charmed and stirred her from the first. •Merry," he said, and tha teadsr ’ CHAPTER XII Of Dreamt Come True Jerry’s surrender was ns complete a* her resistance had Wen. Regard less of the admonitions of the nurse and the restrictions of the hospital; regardless of the presence of her father 'and mother, urho tried studiously to keep their eyes away from her, she hung over Duane, on her knees beside the white bed, kissed him, caressed his face, weeping bitterly. It was Duane himself, with his naual facetious, kind ly courtesy, w^o intervened once in a while to stem the tide of her tumultu ous emottmm. ♦ ‘ * “Now, Jerry,"* he said, taking advan tage of a slight subdual of her tears, “you’ll have to marry me. You’ve kissed me and encouraged me and made love to me before witnesses.” Jerry laughed tearfully. “All right, I will,” she said tremulously, yet glad ly. “And Just us as you like! Tomorrow. If you Buy so.” Prudence and Jerrold turned to them then anxiously, and Dunne's eyes searched their pleading/ faces. He drew Jerry closer in Ids arm. “This Prudence of yours told me,” he said, with a lender smile to apolo gize for his use of that sacred name, “she told me that if that first warm wakening up stops short on better ac quaintance, it Is nothing. But If It goes on ami on It Is hive at first sight. Let’s wait a little, Jerry, and give ours a chance to go on and on. Just a little!" Prudences slender figure, which had stiffened Into anxious .rigidity at Jer ry’s -Impulsive offer, relaxed softly, and tears of grateful pleasure came to her eyes. Jerry drooped contentedly against his arm, crooning' hbr happiness. A curious, calculating look took the place of the tender brilliance of her eyes. “Unless father especially needs you at the factory,”, she said, carefully wording her delicate thoughts, “you can he « great help to me in my build ing. And I know enough about it now so that we can easily make a good liv ing for—both of us.” An exquisite flush suffused her face. Dunne an<l Jerrold exchanged elec trical, questioning glances. After all, Jerry was still very greatly la the dark about many tilings. Jerrold, with ids unfailing generosity, stepped into the breach. "a* goon idea, Jerry,” he said, "i cau’t vay I consider Duane particular ly born under a mechanical star. You shall have him. At a great sacrifice on my part, of course. But Dean only tell you In fairness that your young man will, not be financially dependent on you and your houses. He had enough left out of the wreckage to tide him over, and he thinks of going into Iowa real estate on his own ac count. Your interests will dovetail very neatly along that line, won’t they?” A , Jerrold flushed with pleasure over the .warmth of admiration for hla ef fort that he met in the eyes of Duane •nd of Prudence, who whispered proudly that she (Wouldn’t have done It better herself. But Jerry turned great, questioning eyes upon Duane. “Then you were not—completely- rained, as the pipers'said?” "Nop—completely.” • “Then why did yon come here. ’ Duane laughed, held her to him, killed hair. Now and Then,* Not Often, Jtfry * Talked to Duane of Art. * Art to speak of, but she seems pretty well satisfied with what she did bring. And It’s catching, Harmer, ifs catch ing.” Now and then, not often, Jerry talked to Duane of Art. “Just once in a while,” she said softly, as they sat together in the early evening, and looked out,on the wide lawn, with the springing grass of tlm early spring time, and the great maples just burst ing into bud, “just once in a while. I’m sorry I proved such a failure. I wish I were really a painter—just once. I’d like to paint my Iowa—its great big maples. Its ugly, stiff houses, the mud in its streets and the blanket of smoke from i(S soft coal—I’d paint It all, but I’d^make it rose and gold, and everyone’s dreaifas come true."
