PAUL IN ROME Acts 28:16-24, 30, 31 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D. fit tv Wt* m-H ' Keeping up with Paul will make you busy and also a student. This time you must undertake a real sea voyage and in winter time. Work ©at the navigation as you allow for wind and drift and you arrive at Malta where the shipwreck took place. Begin your reading at ieasi with chapter 24. See how Paul made friends with and gained the con fidence of his centurion guard and fhe ship’s captain. As a result the prisoner.had the freedom of his own hired house in Malta, though he was necessarily chained to the changing guard. Paul went to Rome by reason of the privilege of his Roman citizenship. When he saw that he could not obtain justice at Seasarea he demanded, “I appeal unto Caesar.” ’ • It was with real interest that the Jews in Rome arranged an audi ence for Paul. For many years to go to Rome had been the ambition of this great traveler. In a most thorough manner this man of many experiences retold how Jesus Christ was the Messiah of the Jews, long prophesied in Scripture. /of his opportunities. .First, he could gospelize as the changed every :?ew hours. During the two years that followed Paul wrote four letters that are still helping mankind: Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Philemon. Try and find tipie to read each of these during the week. While in Rome some years ago the writer read the five letters which Paul wrote while in the midst of his two imprisonments in that city. In one of these epistles the author reveals at least one of his life secrets: “I can do all things in him that strengthenth me,” Philippians, 4:13, which is the Golden Text for today. •Then Paul settled down to,make the most guard was ¥ \ THU FAMILY ?

M.D. m -mu j ./ BLACK PEPPER I pX* r: i&Af Perhaps very few people who dine ever think of the valuable med- icinal properties residing in the fancy pepper shaker, that long ago earned its right to a place on every dining-table. Some shrihk from pepper, advisedly perhaps—and from the smarting it causes when in dulged too freely; then others, lovers of the pungent in dietary, go to extremes and indulge the fiery red pepper to excess. There will al ways be extremists who go too far. “Piper Nigrum,” black pepper, depends upon an essential oil for its stimulating property. There are some modern medical authors who have little faith in internal antiseptics; one in particular tells us that an infectious, catarrhal process set up on a mucuous surface, can be cured by the use of an agent that stimulates the surface-cells to activ ity,—that the cells do the work against the germs, and not the so-called “antiseptic” remedies exploited so freely today by commercialists. Black pepper certainly stimulates mucuous surfaces. It causes a freer flow of gastric and intestinal secretions. And these are needed in abundance for perfect digestion. Moderate use of black pepper bene fits the weak stomach—does away with “gases” that give distress. It does no harm if used temperately, except in ulceration. One of the best anti-malarias I know of contains a small proportion of the oil of black pepper. “Piperazin” has value in certain affections with uric acid intoxication. The use of pepper is well known in convalescence from chronic alcoholism, coaxing the weakened gastric surfaces back into normal activity. The pharmacy of a great and all-wise Creator is without parallel for its number of useful remedies. Ever think •f it? ■ _ v * I m S where communism falls down . v i ?•. t r Itor several reasons I find it difficult to get as excited as some of my friends about the threat of Communism. In the first place, we have had universal education in this country for a long time. Nearly all can read and write, and quite a large pro portion can think. In the second place, our wealth, though very inequitably distributed, is enjoyed by a far larger proportion of people than has ever been true in any nation before. Millions own homes, and land and stocks. Few are entirely satisfied; no 'one imagines the present social structure ideal, but very few care to risk losing what they have on the vague premise of acquiring :aore. Lut there is a third and more fundamental reason. Communism, even if it came, would not continue. Some form of capitalistic society would /ery rapidly vake-’ts place. Here is an interesting illustration; ack in the latter days of the Civil War, when it was necessary to draft men for the Northern armies, the Indians of the West thought it a propitious time to revolt. Several regiments of Union’ soldiers were withdrawn from the front to settle the uprising. A Pennsylvania politician made a smart sug gestion. j ’ "* ,n ' f He said to Abraham Lincolp.; , “Oqr Federaf military prisons are filled with Southern military prisoners. These boys are young and keen and good fighters, as we have plenty of reason to know. I’ll bet that most of them would rather be out-doors fighting the Indians than rftting idly in jail. Why not recruit them into regiments and send them West?” The proposal was adopted and was immediately successful. But this is what happened in one instance, which throws a fine clear light an the practicability of Communism. I quote from my father’s Life SAVE TOWS SUMS FOB IPimMirS NEEDS Today you may have plenty to fill your needs, but you never know what is going to happen.

S. STROM Main Street McCormick, S. C. McCormick Methodisl Church Schedule of Lincoln: “A thousand men were enlisted at Alton, Illinois, and Camp Doug las in Chicago. They left Chicago on two special trains. Each man had in his pockets two hundred dollars bounty in United States greenbacks, and none of them had any other money. During the per iod of their imprisonment most of them had become habitual card players, if they had not previously been so. It is said that before they reached their destination a very few individuals had the lion’s share of the money. Perhaps-: never before on earth was there so equitable an experiment in the..results of starting men out in life on the basis of equal division of property. The equal division appeals not to have lasted very long.” v ,: ^ - '• ? Life is a battle and a'fcafhble. We can improve the rules, give fairer handicaps to the less favored, and make the, game more humane. But we can’t alter the fundamentals of human nature. Commun ism tries to do that; and Communism will always fail.
