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. "By the grace of God" what ha
;mas and conscious of it. he was al- 1
'mays remarkably at ease In every ‘
■ htuation and in the presence of •
| Vinces, governors and phUosophera. j
’•abounding In confidence, self-re- l
.■ant, resolute, burning with seal,

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.

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.
