The fourth quarter deals with the ■fe and teachings of Paul, as learned In the Acts and his Epistles. In to day’s lesson we examine his back ground and early life. Paid eras a JeW. whose parents had acquired Roman citizenship, and he was educated in his native city of Tarsus and under the great Jewish teacher. Gamaliel, in Jeursa- *m. He came of the tribe of Benja min and was a Pharisee. As touching . the law of his people he claimed to he blameless: also to be M sealous for •od.” One of the finest scholars of 'Ms time, he was eminently equipped ‘Mr a great career. Hh acquaintance with world cur- mnts of thought, his birth outside Mrael. the influence of the broad- _ minded Gamaliel, and hh Roman eWseoship gave him a world out- jMefc.

Porset*’ Mogozms M ANY children have small defects that make them overly self-con scious. Freckles are a prime offend er, or maybe its stringy hair, big feet or floppy ears and hands. Moth ers are apt to think it best to over look childish dissatisfactions with things most everyone outgrows any way. But you can lessen the child’s sensitiveness, which may stay with him long after the original cause has disappeared, by showing your under standing of his problem. It Isn’t good for children t o suffer in secret even about an im aginary defect. So bring these seem ingly unimportant causes of inferior ity into the open. Then instead of shaming a child into being a good sport about his mild afflictions, reassure him. Freckles, for exanit>le are concen trations of pigment forming cells . and are usually situated deep in the skin. As the superficial layers of the ' skin mature they become thicker and less transparent. Hence the freckles don’t show through as plainly—so you can safely promise that they will tend to disappear. Children and puppies both have to grow to the size of their hands, feet , and ears. It helps to explain this, but at the same time you must make allowances for awkwardness. The hair doesn’t acquire its adult tex ture until around 9 years of age, so there’s no need for a little girl to be unhappy over flying locks, provided she isn’t scolded for not looking as 'neat as sister whose hair is coarse ' or curly. Some famlflev find that mild, good • Matured kidding about . alight peculiarities Is good for the child's ehafactor growths It helps him learn to ‘take it” In later years when he meets np with rough house from his school mates. Indeed, the child who hasn't learned to accept seme teasing at home is sure te get mere than his share ef It in sehooL For half the fan children get out ef teasing Is having a playmate ery or fight back. If bo ean toes off as good a barb as ho takes they’ll seen look for an easier vietias. And, of course, along with ex plaining away a child’s worries, and helping him take them more light ly through kindly teasing, you will also work at building the sound self esteem that is essential to normal emotional growth. Take your child’s enthusiasm seriously, even if he has a record of starting and stopping hobbies. Encourage his talents. Give him plenty of opportunity to sing, dance, act—or whatever his gift may be—in the heart of the family. Too often, unless a talent shows promise of providing a career we cut it 6ff without any expression. Many a lad has got the circus out of his system by putting on trapeze and tumbling acts in his own backyard. And many a little girl who could never be good enough for the stage has satisfied the dramatic in her by dressing up in long skirts and playing house. All this may seem a long way from freckles, or what have you that you don’t want. But it’s all a part of building a healthy personality. •HOW TO WIN FRIENDS and Author INFLUENCE i ft. r* QUESTION OF INTELLIGENCE L EE S. CRANDALL, who is general curator of the Zoo, in the borough of the Bronx, New York City, has made a study; for years not only of four-footed animals, but of all living crea tures. What he hays of intelligence in the animal world bears weight. He says that the six most intelligent ani mals, in the order in which they are listed, are: j) Chimpanzee Orang-utan " Indian elephant . . —* Gorilla Domesticated dog J \ American beaver : _ x | Although the dog ranks fifth in intelli- D. Carnegie gence, he ranks first in the hearts of men . and usefulness. The Chimpanzee and the Orang-utan * more closely resemble man, with the gorilla following, although so little is known of the gorilla that it is not possible to arrive at a close estimate of his mental powers. Dr. Crandall regrets that the gorilla does not live long in captivity, and that being always at war with his keeper, it is not possible to give him a fair test. The elephant who does much work in the jungles of India, the third on the list, is most clever in eluding capture, yet when caught adapts himself quickly and admirably to his new sur roundings. Certainly he exhibits a philosophical nature, for after putting up a stiff fight to avoid capture, he gives in graciously when finally caught and begins to make the most of his sur roundings. It takes only a few weeks, says Dr. Chandall, to train an elephant to be useful, and no other animal on record has shown such adaptability. Not only is he willing to work, once he sees that he must, but he can be directed by word of mouth to perform seventeen different kinds of tasks. Dr. Crandall rates the beaver just below the dog for intelligence because of the amazing things he can do in the wilds, and by reason of the feats he has per formed in captivity. Once, he says, two beavers at his zoo tunneled under a cement wall seven feet deep. The runaways were captured, again placed in captivity, and the tunnel sealed with cement. Evidently the two beavers told the others in the colony of their ambition, for soon all of them set to work to build a structure of logs six feet high so that two determined beavers might climb over the wall.
