It was to take with them John Mark, Barnabas’ nephew (Col. 4:10). (3) Paul’s opposition (v. 38). dermined in the city, ar.d many base ments flooded. A doaon or more ap proaches to highway bridges were destroyed. Besides the heavy damage done at He was suspicious of Mark because Spartanburg, several homes and o’h- of his desertion on a former journey cr buildings were destroyed at Bates- (Acts 13:13). (4) Their separation (vv# 39-41). Their contention was so sharp that North Carolina they separated. God overruled this in cident to the wider extension of the work.

(4) His circumcision (v. 3). Timothy had not been circumcised. Doubtless tills omission was because ids father was a Gentile. To avoid offense among l!:e Jews, Paul circum cised Timothy.

ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 11.—Chang ing its course after entering the Gulf of Mexico, the tropical storm was in Southern Georgia last night blowing back toward the Atlantic oeean, but rise was expected in the Ocmulgee reduced by river here in the morning, as the in a week blew along the northwest coast ot Florida today with moder ating intens'ty, the situation in the flooded LaLe Okeechobee district, far to the south, was reported increas ing in ser cusness. William Griff?.", editor of The Okeechobee City News, took issue with State Drainage- Engineer F. C. Ellic*':t, who announced at Talla hassee last night that there was no danger of an overflow of Lake Okee- ( ho bee. Elliott said he had been advised by h's resident engineers that the lake level was not more than 14.06 feet, but Griffis today declared the gauge on the lake registered a fraction un de; 17 feet, the danger mark. After isolating a 150 mile stretch of the northwest Florida coast cn its jcurnry up the Gulf </: Mexico last nighr.. the tropical storm veered in-ar.d with hurr eane force today and tonight was blowing across southern Georgia toward the Atlantic ocean. \ Thomasville, Caiito, Quitman and ether extreme southern Georgia towns felt the approach of tho dis turbance which the weather bureau predicted was attended by winds of 60 to 70 mile velocities!. It was be- Teved the center would pass in tho vicinity of Thomasville late tonight. Sudden emergence of the storm from the gulf at Cedar Keys -n north west Florida together with its seem ingly increased intensity bolstered the theory that the center passed so far cut in the gulf last night at Tampa and St. Petersburg that tho:e cities felt merely a lash ng from the eastern edge. MT. GAMUT. NEWS MACON, Ga., Aug. 14.—'Accom panied by intermittent wind", which leached an estimated velocity of 30 miles at Thomasville, where trees were uprooted and telephone com munication was interrupted, heavy rains continued to fall over south Georgia ton ght^vvith little prospect of their cessation- before morning. While ::ain continued to fall, the water from Friday’s storm was pour ing south into the Oconee, Ocmulgce Altamaha, and Flint rivers, all of which were reported higher than they have been in years. A sharp with intensity greatly carlieri impact with sc-uth central Florida. Gales and drenching rains caused minoif damage to southern Georgia cities and towns, while behind in Florida, a wide area took stock of extensive battering to buildings and citfus groves. An extencive terri- j tory back of Fort Pierce and sur- I rvinding the Lake Okeechobee dis- j trict was inundated with families I maiooned and little direct nrws of 1 Tuesday night’s storm. Rescue par- j ties have entered. j A small tornado preceded the across , , , . sto? m as it swept across Georg'a pel from Asia to Europe the cliimh. Carolina late Friday, instead of becoming an oriental move | ; ^ ) ment, became mainly occidental. 1. The vision (v. 9). Being hemmed in on all sides, a vi sion was given to Paul of a man of Macedonia pleading for help, which made clear the meaning of the closed doors about him. 2. The advance (vv. 10-12). As soon as the divine way was known they moved forward. Visions, to be effective, mftst he quickly trans lated into aggressive action. IV. The Firet Convert in Europe (vv. 13-15), The Jewish element in Philippi was so small that it was unable to afford a synagogue, therefore the devout pec* pie were accustomed to worship hv the riverside. To a humble gathering of this kind Paul came and preached Lydia, a business woman from Thyn tira, believed. The steps in her conver sion are worthy of note, as typical. 1. Attendance at the place of wor ship (v. 13). Usually those whom God is calling are found at the place of prayer. 2. Listening to the preaching of the* Word of God (vv. 13. 14). Faith cometh by hearing and hear Ing by the Word of God (Rom. 10:17) 3. Her heart was opened by the Lord (v. 14). Only the Lord can convert a soul It is our business to preach the Word of God, and it is God's business t«> open the heart of the inquirer. Regen eration is a supernatural work. 4. She was baptized (v. 15). Every one whose heart the Lord has opened desires to confess Him In bap tism. 5. Her household believed (v. 15). 6. Hospitality practiced (v. 15). Those who have experienced God’s saving grace are disposed to have part in His work by rendering aid to His ministers. Nowhere Else to Go I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming con viction that I had nowhere else to go.

Estimates o" the damage in Flor ida varied, but the citrus industry was known to have suffered heavily especially in St. Lucie County% where the Florida citrus exchange estimat cj a 90 per cent loss in grapefruit and 20 per e«ent in oranges. Around Kissimmee, Inland some fifty milef from Fort Pierce, half the grape fruit was lost and oranges w r ert damaged 20 per cent.- Other section of the storm area reported citrus losses varying frdm 5 to 40 per cent .
