International Sunday School Lesson for October 18
PAUL IN THESSALONICA
Acts 17:1, 5-11 I Thessalonians 2:7-12
REV. 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.

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.

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!

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.
