C, Smutty ScfmtLesso# International Sunday School Lesson for December 6 ROME AND BEYOND II Timothy 4:6-18 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D. The historical record of Paul’s life does not go beyond the first Roman imprisonment. Probably Luke planned to write a third book and complete the account of this apostle to the Gentiles. After the release, return was made to Asia Minor and Timothy was left at Ephesus as Paul proceeded to Macedonia. Titus was sent to both Corinth and Crete. In the interim, Paul wrote two more letters: I Timothy and Titus. ! The burning of Rome took place after Paul was released from prison. Emperor Nero was the incendiary but the Christians were charged with this dastradly deed. Wholesale arrests began and it is likely that special favor was gained by some officials who again apprehended Paul and had him taken to Rome. This time the freedom of his own hired house was not granted and confinement, according to tradition, was in the uderground dungeon of the Mamertine prison which was visited by the writer a few years ago. II Timothy is Paul’s farewell and it is addressed to the young man who must take up the responsibilities of the apostolic office. With calmness and assurance in faith Paul faces whatever may take place. -His self audit is best expressed in the Golden Text: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith,” 4:7. There is no question about the beyond as he faces judg ment. Only Luke was with him. Others who would have been helpful had deserted the Cause or were away on indicated missions. Timothy is sent for and also John Mark, who once failed but later made good in the ministry. Of one thing Paul was constantly certain: “The Lord will save me unto his heavenly kingdom.” According to tradition, re lease came by beheading. ciiuncii I OllNCEMnVlS 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.

V.. THE FAMILY .DOCTOR JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M.D. TALES OUT OF SCHOOL S3 I sat at a medical dinner recently—a meeting of the county society of which I am secretary. The 77-year old chairman sat next to me— he at the head of the table. ‘ Parts of the general conversation I feel sure may interest my readers. I asked the president, “Doctor, do you still *cling to the idea that the breast of the fowl—the light meat—is easily digested, nutritious, and good for a sick man?” The doctor, trying his best to tear the meat off a drumstick with a dull fork—“Naw, I don’t . . . never did.” \ Another physician, grqy-haired: “I’ve quit recommendin’ light mfat, because I’d ruther eat shucks myself.” The hot tea-biscuits came along; they were deliciously put up, brown-crusted and flaky inside. An X-ray specialist at my left grew talkative: “Well—we used to condemn hot biscuits; I’ve never in a quarter of a century of practice found peptic ulcer in a man that was a hot-biscuit-fiend.” The president: “I’ve eat ’em for seventy-five years; they’ve never hurt me—that I’ve noticed ” The essayist—a young man who was to speak on plastic surgery: “The only time hot biscuits ever hurt me was—when I couldn’t get ’em.” (He was reaching for his fourth.) There were thirty-nine at the table, doctors and their wives. It was remarkable how they all went after those hot biscuits and the dark meat of fried spiring chicken—and nobody suffered from indigestion be cause of it. For myself, if my patient can handle chicken at all, I give him soft- cooked dark meat, not part of an old asbestos breast. And, if he can’t eat a fine little hot biscuit with butter, he is too sick to tackle a slab of tough “light-bread.” So here.

ORR, Pastor. -X- HE NEVER MADE MISTAKES The head of a large Philadelphia company decided to open a New England branch. Looking through his organization, he selected a prudent, industrious young man. “I am thinking of appointing you our New England manager with headquarters in Boston,” he said. The young man received the news gravely. “I believe it will be a wise move, sir,” he answered. “I never make mistakes.” “Never piake mistakes?” the boss repeated incredulously. “My, my, then I couldn’t think of appointing you. Just imagine how I should feel, having a man in Boston who never makes mistakes, when I am down here in Philadelphia making them every day.” The young man was not sent to Boston. He lived out his business days in an obscure position, minus errors and minus hits. One of the most interesting men of my acquaintance has been wrong about forty per cent of the time. I can look back over his career and point out a dozen different points where he took one stand and subsequently had to revise it Why then has he stayed on top? First, I think, because he is absolutely truthful. What he sometimes imagines to be the truth turns out later to be an error, but he never consciously hedges for anything or anybody: Second, he is always trying. Roll him in the dust, and he is up in a minute and starting forward again. Lay something before him which you thirjk is pretty good, and he instinctively reaches for a pencil and begins to try to improve it. Let him accomplish an objective, and im mediately he has set his eyes on another point further ahead. Finally, he never wastes any time In regretting the past. “Regret,” said some one, takes as much out of you as a prolonged drunk.” This man has been an encouragement to me. So have the words of Stevenson, who exclaimed, “God give us young men who have the courage to make fools of themselves.” I figure that I am entitled to one major mistake a week^ This is my quota. As long as I keep within it I feel all right. And frequently I run over. , * Troy A. R. P. Charge TROY—Sabbath school at 10:01 every Sabbath morning; momin$ worship, 11:00. Y. P. C.

Good old Castoria! There’s comfort in every drop of this pure vegetable prep aration, and not the slightest harm in its frequent use. As often as Baby has a fretful spell, is feverish, or cries and can’t sleep, let Castoria soothe and quiet him. Sometimes it’s a touch of colic. Some- 1 times constipation. Or diarrhea — a condition that should always be checked without delay. Just keep Castoria handy and give it promptly. Relief will ’follow very promptly; if it doesn’t you should call a physician. i Schedule Of Services At Colored Churches Schedules of services at the Col ored Churches are as follows: Young Mt.
