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.

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.

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. , *

ANY BABY
W 1
E can never be sure just what
makes an infant restless, but
the remedy can always be the same.
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
