Improving on
History
I just finished hearing a Politician,
one of the Washington Boys, talk
on Abraham Lincoln. The only
thing I could picture in common
between him and Lincoln was that
they had both been in Washington.
When a Politician aint talking
about himself he is talking about
Lincoln. Lincoln has .had tpQr«'
Public men speak of his good
qualities, and fewer copy any of
them, than any man America ever
produced. His famous address was
only about two hundred words
long. No Politician has ever been
able to even copV his briefness.
In fact that is the last one of his
qualities that they would try to
copy. Lincoln said more in those
200 words than has been said in
the entire City of Washington in
the last 10 years, and here is a^,
quality that no historian or speaker
has ever brought out before. At
the completion of the Gettysburg
speech, he wisely refused one of
Grant 1 s Cigars, and borrowed a
sack of “Bull” Durham from an
Ex Southern private, rolled his
own, got on his Mule' and went
back to Washington.

I. Th* True Missionary Method (vv.
1-3).
- Paul came to Corinth a stranger In
a strange city. He did not have an
advance agent to do his advertising.
His method in gaining a foothold in
Corinth was as, follows:
1. Finding a. Home (v. 2).
This he found with Aqulla and Pris
cilla, Jews, who were recently expelled
from Rome by the cruel edict of
Claudius.
2. He Toiled for His Dally Bread
(v. 3).
He was of the same craft with
them, being a tentmaker. Every child
among the Jews was taught some
trade by means of which he could
gain a livelihood, should occasion re
quire.
ti. Preaching in the Synagogue at
Corinth (vv. 4-8).
1. Though Compelled to Toil for a
a Living While Getting a Foothold in
Corinth, He Did Not Lose, Sight of
His Main Work (v. 4).
He reasoned in the synagogue every
Sabbath, persuading the Jews and
Greeks. While the missionary should
not be above honest toil when ne
cessity arises, he must not allow toll
to interfere with preaching the gospel.
2. His Activity Was Increased
When Silas and Timothy Came (v. 5).
This resulted from three causes:
(1) They brought goon news from
the churcli at Tbessalonica (I Thess.
3:6). .
To hear of the steadfastness of those
who had confessed Christ under his
ministry, put new vigor into his la
bors.
(2) They brought pecuniary gifts
from the Macedonian church (Phil.
4 :15;'II Cor n ll:9).
Being relieved from the necessity
of tolling for a living, he could now
devote more time and energy to the
preaching of the gospel.
(8) Silas and Timothy became as
sistants to Paul in the work.
Zr Paul Opposed (v. 6).
His increased activity was met with
Increased opposition. As the Lord’s
ministers become more aggressive la
their work, the ministers of Satan put
forth corresponding efforts ip opposl-

4. Paul AnnounObs His Pdftiose to
Turn to the Gentiles (v. 6).
Because of their blasphemy and op
position. he ceased to work among
the Jews. There is a time when good
Judgment causes one to abandon work
where efforts have been fruitless, but
it is difficult to know-Just when to do
it. Oftentimes JastiygNjiann is done
to the work by pressi??g efforts when
people have turned against the
truth. Paul’s declaration, M I am
clean,’’ was a most solemn one.
5. He Nid Not Go Far A^ay (v. 7).
' He remained sufficiently near those
whyee hearts God had touched that
they could easily find him. It is like
wise true that although Christ is
obliged to depart from the soul that
refuses Him entrance. He Ungers with
yearning love around that heart.

' His experiences since coming to
Europe were very trying. He needed

Just like the Lord, to come at the
time of the servant’s greatest need.
Note the Lord's words to him.
1. “Be Not Afraid.” When one is
executing the commission, of the Lord,
he need not be afraid.
2. “Speak and Hold Not Thy
Peace.” The one who has heard the
voice of God cannot refrain from
speaking., He cannot be still.

PRESIDENT ALREADY
ARE WE AN OSTRICH?
WATCH R. R. HOOKUPS.
U. S. PAUPERISM DYING.
A Washington correspondent says
“President Coolidge will keep out of
the Mitchell fight,’’ referring to Col.
Mitchell’s charges as to general in
competency in the management of
United States air forces and the sug
gestion that Col. Mitchell, lowered in
rank for telling the truth face, should
now be arrested for telling the truth
twice.

How could the president, who is
head of the army and navy, keep out
| of the Mitchell matter ? It is not con
ceivable that his subordinates, know
ing of the president’s readiness to
hear both sides of any question, would
undertake any action without his ap
proval. U* 2—
The people do not believe that the
president will permit any action
against Col. Mitchell until the entire
aviation question shall have been fully
thrashed out, including the fiasco in
the effort to fly to Hawaii, and the
catastrophe of the Senandoah.
It is to be hoped that the inquiry
when it comes, will not be a white
washing enterprise, but a real inves
tigation.
The president will want to know
why the protest of Commander Lans-
downe, an experienced airman who
had flown across the Atlantic in a
dirigle, was ignored. The president
will not want any whitewashing or
any offhand suppression of Col. Mit
chell, who isn’t easily suppressed, by
the way. He will want the facts, and
will see that he gets them.
The most disquieting thing in our
so-called defense program is this
statement attributed to Judge Wilbur,
secretary of the navy:
“In view of the experience of the
navy planes in the Arctic expedition,
the failure of the Hawaiian flight and
the Shenandoah disaster, we have
come to the conclusion that the At
lantic and Pacific are still our best de
fenses.
“We have nothing to fear from
enemy aircraft that is not on this
continnent.”
The experience in the Arctic, the
failure of the Hawaiian flight, the
dreadful Shenandoah disaster had
nothing to do with capable air naviga
tion, but a great deal to do with in
competent management of our air
force.
We should^have, indeed, nothing to
fear from foreign aircraft if we could
give to foreigners such management
as our aircraft has. Mr. Wilbur’s
statement that our oceans are our
fest defense, sounds like the state
ment of some ostrich saying, “I have
nothing to fear, the sand is,my best
defense. I can stick my head into it.”

WHAT DO
P. S. JEANS
. /* V-. ' ^
/
It is suggested that railroads be
forced to combine in great transporta
tion units, and that they make their
own selections “rather than have the
Government do the choosing for
them.”
Why not have a selection of well-
informed men, railroad men of course,
acquainted with traffic conditions,
make a survey of railroads, and let
the Government know which combina
tion should be made in the interest of
economy and of efficiency?
President Coolidge will certainly
not think it wise to-leave these com
binations to selfish interests, based qn
opportunities for stock jobbing, com
bining broken down roads with good
roads for the sake of immediate prof
it, rather than more efficiency. Per
haps for the sake erf unloading un
profitable railroads on the stockhold
ers that own profitable railroads.
Reasons
Pauperism is dying out in the
UnitecT States thanks to better wages,
widows’ pensions, more Enlightened
medical care, and especially compaigns
of health advertising, carried on by
•the great life insurance •companies.
Of 100,000 in our population, only
71.5 are in poorhouses now. And that
is exactly' 71.5 too many.
In 1914 there were 91.5 out of HH),-
000 in the poojrhouses. Things have
improved since *the war forced up
wages.
