McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE NUMBER SIX T ■~S ScfmtLessm International Sunday School Lesson for October 4 THE MACEDONIAN CALL Acts 16:6-15; Romans 15:18-21 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D. This lesson is larger than the study hour and offers much oppor tunity for special research. After the Council in Jerusalem, Paul, Barnabas and others reported back to the Church in Antioch. Soon the urge for further work afield caused Paul to lay plans for what we know as the second missionary journey. Barnabas was ready but insisted that John Mark, who left them at Perga, be taken along. Paul refused. These fellow-servants of the Master showed common sense in agreeing to disagree, but each went forward with the work of the Kingdom. Barnabas took Mark and went to Cyprus. Paul effected a working agreement with Silas and proceeded into Asia Minor. At Lystra a handy man was found in Timothy and he became an efficient substitute for John Mark. It was at Troas, famous in the writings of Homer, that the future itinerary was clearly indicated. Here we find the word “we” used, which indicates that Dr. Luke, the author of Acts, joined the Paul party. Search out and determine just where Luke was with Paul dur ing the rest of liis ministry. It may be that Luke told of the great need for ministry in Philippi. It was in a vision that Paul beheld the messenger who pleaded “Come over into Macedonia and help us.” Look up the numerous visions that came to Paul both for direction and encouragement. Obied- iently the four workers set out for the first Christian impact on the continent of Europe as they came to Philippi. That journey meant much to all of us in the western world. Since there were too few Jews there to have a synagogue, a place of prayer was sought out at the riverside and gospelizing began in earnest. Lydia was the. first convert and made her confession of faith in the rite of baptism. V. THU FAMILY DOCTOR JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M.D, WITH MY READERS I had quite a few letters from different states, referring to my for mer article, “Mistaken Folks.” You will recall, it dealt with those who have sciatic neuritis and mistake it for “rheumatism.” And, re medies and measures for rheumatism did not relieve at all. One man had sciatic neuritis, a very obstinate case, and told me he had “bladder trouble” for years—-and also has a fissure, a rectal lesion, for years more. Either of these complaints might be causing the neuritis, and should certainly be attended to before attempting to cure the sciatic. And none of his ailments are of the rheumatism variety —not at all. No use to take out tonsils or teeth in the hope of re moving rheumatism germs. It is well known that a pronounced les ion of the bladder, prostate gland or rectum may cause sciatic neu ritis, a disabling disease. One with disease in the bladder or rectum may get a sudden attack of sciatic neuritis by lifting, bruising, or otherwise disturbing this great nerve-trunk of the human being. REST is by far the greatest factor in the treatment of sciatic neu ritis—rest, and attention to other organs in the vicinity of the nerve. How many women with uterine prolapse complain of “lumbago” and “sciatica*?” Neither of them rheumatism! Removing all the tonsils and teeth in the world will not relieve a backache that is caused by a sagging uterus! Then they inquire about “cleaning out and keeping clean.” Those who are more or less ponderous about the abdomen, I imagine. To clean out is simple. The keeping clean is the trouble; I’ll try to de vote the next chapter to that subject. SEND THE MESSENGER YOUR NEXT ORDER FOR JOB PRINTING. FE DO IT RIGHT, AND AT REASONABLE PRICES, PADLOCKED MINDS We were discussing Russia at the dinner table of a banker. None of us knew anything about the subject, but that did not prevent a long and animated conversation. The general opinion, forcibly expressed, was that Stalin and his asso ciates represent the great menace to the present-day world. It was even urged that all the capitalistic powers ought to combine to over throw the Bolshevik regime. Finally I made a timid suggestion. I said that it seemed* to me probable that the Russian experiment will have to be very much modified or it will fail. It appears to run con trary to too many deep-seated human instincts. Man is moved by the ambition to acquire opportunity and security for his children. The Bolsheviks deny him the right of acquisition. Man is “incurably religious”; the Bolsheviks have attempted to abolish God. Sooner or later, man has always revolted against unbridled autocracy under whatever guise or name. “But,” I continued, waxing a little bolder, “any one who looks over the capitalistic countries today must admit that our economic organization leaves a lot to be desired. Think of the tragedy of wheat selling be low the cost of production at a time when thousands are standing in bread-lines. What a frightful thing it is for factories to be shut down for lack of orders while a large per centage of the human race still lacks adequate clothing and shelter. “Instead of condemning the Russians out of hand, wouldn t it be more sensible to see whether they discover anything, no matter how small, that we could apply to make our own decrepit economic ma chine a little better?” Recently I read an article by Professor Harold J. Laski in which he pointed out how every new idea, that ever came into the world has been opposed by the “experts.” “Not even so great a surgeon as Simpson could see merit in Lister s discovery of antiseptic treatment. The opposition to Pasteur was so vehement that he declared regretfully that he did not know he had so many enemies.” Napoleon scoffed at the steamshfp. Wellington was never persuaded that the breech-loading rifle was any good. Vanderbilt refused to en tertain the crazy notion that Westinghouse could stop his trains by “jamming air against the wheels.” If we keep our minds open to new ideas we are bound to be misled often, and sometimes to be ridiculous. But the surest way of all to be wrong is to assume that God has completed His process of revelation and that the world tomorrow will be exactly like the world today. • ^ 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.
