YOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP-
-IC—Paul the Chrlatian.
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. ,

•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. ■

takes the opportunity of telling Jerry,
of hla love and begs- her to overlook

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." '
