Genuinely good people can have a difference of opinion. An argu ment that will always remain a part of history occurred over John Mark at Perga in Pamphylia. At that point it became necessary for Paul Barnabas to proceed into the interior and the handy man of the evangelistic party declined to go with them. Perilous t^ses awaited the determined evangelists as they went for ward on thi§ ‘first missionary journey. Many Jewish settlements had been made in Asia I&inor owing to a system of colonization developed by Antiochus Epiphanes. A synagogue was easily found in Antioch of Pisidia. There were no less than 10 Antiochs founded by Selucus Nikator and named after his father Antiochus. ^We need distinguish only between those in Pisidia and Syria. Marked attention was given to the address of Paul on that first Sabbath. Many begged that the visitors tarry with them and repeat the teachings about Jesus Christ being the Messiah on the fol lowing sabbath. This was done and the entire chapter 13 should be read with care for all the details. Meanwhile the Jews saw the import of this new teaching and if it prevailed their long established system would need to be modified, for Paul taught that many items had been fulfilled. Jealousy started persecution and Paul made the declaration that now he was free to ;urn to the Gentiles, for in his commission at Damascus he had been especially set«apart as their ambassador on behalf of Jesus Christ. In proportion afet. the messages were accepted by the Gentiles, persecution was increased bjfthe Jews and Paul and Barnabas had to depart in order to save their lives, but they went forward rejoicing.

Th^ preacher for the day was a famous man from a big city, who happened to have a summer home near-by. The,.church was only about one-tenth filled. Even this famous name was not enough to pull people away from the cool woods and beaches. ' , When the preacher arose to announce his text, I thought: “Now we’ll catch it. We shall be told that these empty pews mean that the world is going to the dogs. We shall hear a half-hour of ament about human wickedness. - We who.have come to church, shall be cruci fied for the sins of those Whorhave stayed away.” I have listened to many Church sermons and I am sick of them. But I was due for a pleasant surprise. He announced a text from Paul’s letter to the Corinthians. He explained that in this passage Paul was really making a plea for a generous collection from the Cor inthians for the, struggling churches elsewhere. He bad an ulterior motive, but that'does not change the fact that the whole chapter is full of praise for the Corinthians. Having told them how kind they are, how courageous, how faithful, Paul concludes by saying, in effect: ‘Since you have all these many good qualities, I ask you to have also this grace ‘which was in Christ Jesus, who being rich became pcor for our sakes.’ ” In other words, you are great folks; come on, now, and be generous also. The preacher then proceeded to tell us what a grand thing it is to be long to the h~man race—how good people are, how courteous to each o:her, how brave under their sufferings, how hopeful in the face of an inscrutable Fate. He said that God created men and women because He wanted com panions, and that He was pleased with His creation. He made us all proud of our humanity, and sent us out more cheer ful and better able to fight the week. I wondered why there are not more such sermons. Jesus did very little denouncing and hardly any “viewing with alarm.” He came with a joyous message. “You are sons of God,” He said, ‘destined for eternal happiness.” People liked that sort of talk. They called it “gospel,” which is to say, “good news.” ASBURY—Sunday School every Sunday at 10:00 a. m.; Epworth League every Sunday at 7:00 p. m.; Preaching, 1st Sunday at 11:15 a. m.; and 3rd Sunday at 8:00 p. m.

But there’s alwayt Castoria! As harmless as the recipt on the wrapper; mild and bland as it tastes. But its gentle action soothes a a youngster more surely than a more powerful medicine. That’s the beauty of this speciai children’s remedy! It may be given the tiniest infant — as cfti.n as there is need. In cases of col.c, diarrhea or similar disturbance, it is invaluable. A coated tongue calls for j ust a few drops to ward off constipalion: so does any suggestion of bad breath. Whenever children don’t eat well, don’t rest well, or have any little upset—this pure vegetable preparation is usually all that’s needed. -txt- McCormick Holiness Church Schedule FOOD FOR THOUGHT THE MESSENGER DOES HIGH GRADE COMMERCIAL PRINTING AT REASONABLE PRICES. SEND US YOUR NEXT ORDER. An active mind must have exercise in order to last long and prove -he utmost in efficiency. Nothing endures long if allowed to rust, mo’der, decay. I have seen many men to whom mental idleness was a deadly bore. You’ve found it that way, haven’t you? Wholesome activity is one of the best things, positively beneficial to the intellectual human being. Even the eye is said to require systematic exercise, if the owner would preserve good eyesight far into life’s arctic regions. Men who are denned up in big cities rarely employ the eyes to see over a few blocks: they become accustomed to short distances and fine print. Hence the army of spectacle-wearers, most of them bi-focals. The aged resident of the great open spaces often does not need glasses at three score-and-ten! Wholesome exercise for the eyes! The imprisoned muscle of the intellectual is never more than fifty per cent normal—often much lower. We are growing into a race of intellectuals, at the price of rugged, vigorous health. But, be sure to get this: EXERCISE IS NOT TORTURE. No man gives his eyes exercise, reading diminutive, blurred type, with the over stuffed publication held eight inches from his face, often with a poor light. He inflicts punishment of the most dangerous kind. It is the same of the mind. To overwork the mental faculties is al most as fatal to them as profound laziness—idleness. I shudder for the fool that races his mind day and night—that gives it no rest in the mad chase for coin. Remember, the crash is out yonder in front, not so far as you think. The muscles—those wonderful hinges, pulleys, levers! Exercise them, but stop short of punishment, if you would keep physically fit.
