SAMUEL D. PRICE, -D. D. Paul and Silas were escorted to the boundary of Philippi by the very magistrates who sentenced them. That part of the country was also familiar ground during the recent world war. Thessalonica is the modern Salonica. The usua3F!approach was made through the Jew- ish synagogue. Soon, jealou^ arose because the success of the evan- gehsts meant the giving up of many of the ancient national traditions and customs. A group of roughnecks was stirred up to attack Paul and they sought him in the house of Jason. Fortunately the soul win ners were elsewhere, and poor Jason had to bear the brunt of the at tack. Meanwhile high praise was paid to the work of the gospel in the charge that was made: “These that have turned the world upside down have come hither also.” Since the messengers could no longer be heard in Thessalonica they were sent forward to Beroea, where the same method was pursued. These people shewed just plain common sense when they took the words of Paul and sought out confirming references in their Scripture rolls, our Old Testament. Therein they found the prophecies concern ing the Messiah and beheld their complete fulfillment in the life and works of Jesus Christ. We do not need to believe everything we are told, but many a great truth is lost because we refuse to give atten tion to the supporting evidence. The result was that many believed and among the number we find a group of Greek women„of distinction. In passing, attention should be given to the various letters that Paul wrote to the churches that he established en route. Two epistles were ^ent to the church at Thessalonica after Paul reached Corinth. The Golden Text is a good verse to commit to memory: “Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law,” Psalm 119:18. THE FAMILY DOCTOR JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M.K JUST BETWEEN US BOYS I am frequently asked, which is the more dangerous for a man, smok ing or chewing tobacco. Because so many rpen do one or the other, if not both! Especially is this so in rural life—that sort of living that comprises most of human liberty if not luxury. I can hardly concede danger in either phase of tobacco-using, pro vided always that moderation is strictly observed; the limit of the safety-zone is TEMPERANCE, and that applies to food and drink and work and play as well. At the time of my graduation, I had learned to be a fiend for smok ing; ambitious, to succeed, I observed very keenly that my pockets carrying the smoker’s fragrant mixtures offended some of fine patrons almost to the point of disgust. This wouldn’t do. I banished the old pipe and betook myself to the seductive “plug.” But, oh, the filth of that! The abomination that goes with the cuspidor! Smoking threatened to ruin my business; chewing menaced me with a divorce court. I resolved to quit—had to do it. And I did it. Here’s how: I bought gum, plenty. I chewed a wad of gum till the sugar was ex tracted from it; then, I added to the tasteless wax a small bit of to bacco, making a very smooth “chew.” It had the seductive flavor of the plug, without the temal spitting and bad breath. One bolus would satisfy me continuously for half a day; my tobacco was reduced to the vanishing-point; I became free. And, there’s a method by which the excessive chewer may make him self decent in a very satisfactory way. I wonder how many of my masculine readers will try it and be convinced? It’s so easy to shake eff a very filthy habit, if you just care to—and as the wife wants you to do. 13 PfcRSONNEL The head of a trust company was describing the extraordinary growth of their business. More and more estates are passing into the hands of trust com panies. The capital funds of these estates are invested not only in bonds and mortgages but in voting stocks of the country’s leading cor porations. If the process goes cn at the same rate for another twenty-five years the trust companies will control a large proportion of the wealth of the United States. “Your problem is personnel,” I said to the banker. “That’s our only problem,” he answered. “How are you solving it?” “Well, we try to pick the smartest young men from the colleges, men who have majored in economics and finance. We start them in at the bottom and let them fight their way up. Some drop by the wayside, but the survivors develop into very good men.” I told him I thought they were omitting one very important step in the process of training. “After your young man has had two or three years’ experience in the bank, you ought to pull him out and send him into the heart of the country,” I said. “Make him spend a year or two working on a farm, or with a section gang on the railroad, or clerking in a country store. Insist that he live cn what he earns. “When he comes back to New York he will have some idea of how hard ordinary people have to work for their money. He will have a ■social, as well as a merely financial point of view. A dollar will nev er become merely a sign or a sum to him. It will represent hopes and lears, ambitions and defeats, human sweat and blood.” When it came time for me to go to college my father took me aside and said: “You have planned to go to Amherst, and I approve of the plan. But I want you to take your first year at Berea College in Ken tucky, where I worked my way through.” He added a sentence which I have never forgotten: “I want your sympathies to be always on the aide of the men who have to struggle for what they get.” It was a wise and f*ne thing for a father to say to a boy. I am one of those who believe that we are entering a period of great social changes. No matter how big and strong an institution or an industry may be it is going to be tested. Those institutions will win out which are headed by men of broad, human sympathies; men who can see the other man’s point of view because they have shared the ■other man’s daily life. It is a time of wonderful opportunity for young men. But they TIME FOR FALL REPAIRS! There are so many things that you will need to repair and change before winter and it’s time to be at it.

W. a HENRY, *■*<» POISON in Your bowels! Poisons absorbed into the system from souring waste ir: the bowels, cause that headachy, sluggish, bilious condition; coat the tongue; foul the breath; sap ener gy- strength and nerve-force. A little of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin will clear up trouble like that, gently, harmlessly, in a hurry. The difference it will make in your fec’.ngs over night will prove its merit to you. Dr. Caldwell studied constipation for forty-seven years. This long experience enabled him to make his prescription just what men, women, old people and children need to make their bowels help themselves. Its natural, mild 1 , thorough, action and its pleasant taste commend it to people of all ages. That’s why “Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin,” as it is called, is the most popular laxative drugstores sell. Dr. W. B. Caldwell’s SYRUP PEPSIN A Doctor's Family Laxative A. R.
