THE COUNCIL IN JERUSALEM Acts 15:22-19; Galatians 2:2,9,10 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D. Spiritual growth of converts was always in Paul’s thinking. Derbe was visited after the stoning at Lystra. Without hestitation return was made through all the cities where awful persecutions had befallen Paul and Barnabas on the outward journey. The purpose was to strengthen the brethren in their new-found and most precious faith. Return was made from Pamphylia direct to Antioch in Syria where full report was made to the leaders who had sent them forth. Problems of procedure arose as full account of this first missionary journey was narrated. The older Jewish Christians insisted that in | order to be a convert the rite of circumcision must be administered to a Gentile. The returned missionaries and many others insisted that this form was not necessary and the outward act was not essential to in ward faith. When agreement could not be obtained after long and even heated discussion it was decided to lay the whole matter before the mother church in Jerusalem. It is interesting to note that as Paul and Barnabas advanced to Jerusalem they evangelized all the way. They were out to win souls for Christ and argument about procedure was only incidental. Follow the debate in the Council at Jerusalem as you read Chapter 15. Though circumcision is not mentioned the Paul party won. Find ings were prepared which were taken to the church at large. There were concessions on both sides. Manner of life was to be taken into account rather than any mere form. Some of the details are re hearsed when Paul wrote the special letter to the Galatians. Read the entire epistle and note the Golden text in Galatians 5:13. * Councils have their place but real value is in the constructive work that follows. THE FAMILY ' DOCTOI? JOHN JOSEPH GAINES. M.D. IN REVIEW Ho-hum! The millenial dawn approaches, thanks to our medical columnists. Every man his own dietitian, his own self-culturist, his own psychiatrist. The family doctor is headed for the long vacation when he shall have talked himself out of a job for all time* to come. Among my contemporaries I read that tobacco does not snoiCcn life; that the snifter of corn whiskey is not guilty, nine times out of cen. That meat and salt don’t have a blame thing to do with one’s blood pressure—that both are actually essential to hitting on all six. That health exercises are often indulged up to a fatal point in many cases. That diet, rest and sleep are to be taken at the dictation of a opetite. Which knocks most of the medical theories and speculative hypothes es into cocked hats—almost. Every man his own doctor. He can go on living, and, die in his turn—so—he passes. All of which is so much piffle, written for the price, yet pregnant with horse-sense deductions. No two men or women are exactly alike. Hence, there can' be very few set rules governing the conduct of many. Here are some, how ever, that I may say I use myself: Be temperate IN ALL THINGS. No human ever uttered better ad vice than that. Temperance in eating, drinking, working, thinking, sleeping, laughing, sighing, living, dying—temperate in all things. Ob serve that simple rule—and cut the doctor’s bill to near zero. Then, you will catch the “flu” or break your leg—or wife will receive a visit from the stork—just any old thing will happen; then call the doctor, as you always have done. curiuru ANN01INCEMINI5 Episcopal Church Schedule Preaching services at St. Stephens Episcopal Church, Willington, are as follows: Every 1st, 3rd and 5th Sunday at 4 o’clock p. m.

[LITTLE THINGS Nothing is more interesting than to hear successful men reminisce about their careers. Recently, after a golf game, I had such an op portunity. My companions were well-known lawyers. One of them said: “I wasn’t much of a student in college. I played on both the football and baseball teams, and I managed to graduate and go on through !aw school. “My first job was in the office of a country lawyer in a small city in Pennsylvania. There I really did work, preparing cases and trying hem, and doing my best to master the profession. “I could look forward to earning enough to marry cn, but could so: no chance of ever escaping from that small town. “One Christmas I visited my folks in Boston, and whi'e I was there a friend told me that a certain lawyer would like to meet me. I called at his office the next morning. We chatted for about an hour and then, out of a clear sky, he offered me a partnership. I was flabber gasted, but I managed to stutter an acceptance. I started in with him a month later. In that firm I spent ten very happy and profitable years. “One day I summoned up courage to ask him how he ever happened to make me such an offer on so short an acquaintanceship. “His answer was surprising. He said that for years he had been able to secure more business than he could properly handle. As a busi ness getter he was a star; as an organizer of an efficient force he was a failure. He had hired brilliant young chaps out of law school, but somehow they never developed ns he hoped. Being brilliant, they ex pected to get results easily, and if they were whipped a couple of times in court it broke their spirit. “One night he went home and sat down before the fire to analyze his situation. He decided to look for an entirely different type of man; he listed the qualifications: “1. The man must not be too smart. He must have the habit of working hard for his results. “2. He must have been in college athletics, trained to fight for vic tory, and to keep up his chin in defeat. “Having made this list, the lawyer asked his friends to recommend men who met the qualifications. One of them named me, and the lawyer remembered that he had once seen a football game in which I was badly smashed up but was still able to carry the ball across the line for a touchdown. “So you see,” my friend concluded, “it was that one little thing, to which I never attached the slightest importance, that made my whole career.” When you hear stories like this, and I have heard many of them, it makes you think that there are no little things.; No operation is so insignificant that’ a man can refuse to give it less than his best.
