France Before leaving for Smerfic he had prtfared a of articles in advance. DcFrank Crane Says G>rrr>|Hte>0*« “ The Time Binder Some professor, I noticed the other day in the public prints, referred to man as the time binder. ' I take it that what he meant is this—though, of course, being a professor, he probably meant something else, something you and I cannot understand. It is never quite safe to say you comprehend just what a professor means; he rather resents it, but, as I was saying, what he meant, or might, could, would or should have meant, is this: Stones, sticks and all lifeless things are fixed, helpless and cannot move of themselves. They are the bound. So are the. plants and all vegetable forms of life. Animals are space binders; that is, they can move from place to place, and by their power of motion can bind together things remote. Man is also a space binder, because of his power of locomo tion; but he is more. He can remember things in the past, and he can look forward to events in the future. Hence he is a time binder. Man differs from the lower animals because he preserv es his past experiences. He lives not only now, but all about his now flutter flocks of yesterday; from his now mountain be can see long tomorrow vistas. He is eternally planning. In proportion as he binds the fu ture tc him he becomes more of a man in every way. 0 Many a silly word would be restrained, and many a rash action wouki be prevented by a consideration of the future. Every derd is to be judged not only by its present advis ability, but by how it bear:, on our whole career. ty School lessor International Sunday School Les**n for Decrmbrr JO RLVIEW: PAUL THE WORLD CHRISTIAN Goidcn i cxt--l , hil\pp%ans 1:21 Rn bittuuel D Price, D D. With this lesson a stuJy six months in the life of Paul is concluded. It v ill be helpful to look back o\rr the entire life as well as of the event* covered during the present qua rtf r. Ik£>n with Acts 19 for the quarter’s lesaons and uith Acts 7 for :he entire life. For this quarter ’*cg:n at Ephesus toward the clgji^f the second missionary journey. There wa> a return to that city after the trip to Antioch. Meanwhile Aquila and Priscilla had been active there. Two long and hard years were passed in Ephesus. He preached in the synagogue and later used the schoolroom of Tyrannus for his teaching The climax came when even the great theatre was not large enough to hold the crowd that, in opposition, madly shouted for two hours “Great is Diana of the Ephesians " Then it was time for Paul to leave town again He used the land route in visiting the various cities where he worked during the second missionary journey and went ai far as Corinth hour letters were written - I and II Corinthians, Romans and < >alatians. When it wa< discovered that there was a plot to waylay him and get the large offerings for the poor Jews in Jerusalem the itinerary hack to Jeru salem <^as changed from ship to land. A stop is made at Miletus and the ciders were called there from nearby Lphcsus. Careful instruction was given .Tout the future care of the work in that city and vicinity. Then in th. - r.i.Jst of an intense prayer service farewells were said and the journey continued to Jerusalem where trouble surely awaited the Evangelist At first effort was made to satisfy certain critics by making a conces sion—sacrifice and payment of vows, but only trouble resulted. I he arres’ was made and there was no release for more than four years. A declara tion of Roman citizenship alone saved him from a severe flogging and the nu.« U action of a 'ad made it possible to avoid a death plot. There was sa*c;y a; C-ieJ but n took two years to get through the hearings before thr Vi: » came from Jerusalem, and before Felix, Fcstus and .Vnii'p:. The j'Mrticy to Rome, where the case was adjourned, was filled v.th d;rr»rs r»:ul climaxed in the shipwreck at Malta. Two ye..:* male another long period but much was accomplished a? Paul was free to have audiences at pleasure in his own hired house, but always with a chain binding him to a Romtui soldier. Four more great letters were written meanwhile: Eph&sians, F^hilippians, Colossians an.i Philemon ‘There was a release which gave opportunity for other itiner aries and a second arrest which was closed with decapitation. Through .. Paul was the victor as he wrought for Jesus Christ. I;-:’ Social and Personal Friday afternoon. The attendance 4 was unusually small or account of V News from Williston illrre?s.
