Secretary of the American Society of Religious Education. AH who study these lessons aro request ed to send their.names, poitottlce address and denomination to the author at Wash ington, D. C, for enrollment. PRELIMINARY. It is believed that Paul was approaching the end of his career (2 Tim. lv,8), when ho wroto from ftio city of Rome his second letter to Timothy, probably about CO A. D or four years before .the destruction of Jer uealem. Twelve other epistles (or thir teen If Hebrews Is assigned to him), had fallen from his pen. In them ho had dlBcUHsed the great doctrines of the church, occupying from the first to the last writing, ut least fifteen years. Dur ing that time ho had traveled extensively In Palestine. Asia Minor, Macedonia, Greece, Spain and Italy.. He has now como to old age (Phllem 9), but possessed of all his powers. Looking backwards and recalling the events of his useful though many times arduous service, or looking forward and upward to his re ward (2 Tim. lv, 8), he is certainly quali fied to give advice. It Is always Interest ing to note tho closing utterances of a great man, to study tho substance and tho style of his speech, and to learn the spirit by whlcn ne is uominaieu. PERSONAL. What does Paul say to himself? After tre usual manner of tho time (see the Epistles of James and Peter), he begins with his own name, using not that which his parents gave him, but that which he acquired at Pap. hos (Acts xlll, 9). Ho calls himself "an apostle of Jesus Christ," not hesitating to take the rank among tho twelve (Matt. x, 2), whom Jesus ordained. He declares that ho obtained this ofllco "by the will of God," that Is, he was not put into It by men as Mathlas was, (Acts I, 20, a fact which ho emphasized In his writings (Gal. i, 1), as ono of particular Importance. The purposo of his appointment as an apostle ho sets forth, that ho might publish that eternal life (verse 1) which God had in view ror manKinu oy tne in carnation of his son Jesus Christ, In thus announcing his name and orll:e, Paul was not egotistic. It was a neces. sary Introduotlon to what followed, that right views of 4ilm might bo had. Advlco must bo weighed In the scales of good J;idBment concerning Him w'ho gives it. This letter Is not written by a man merely, but by a man In this high ofllco. SALUTATORY. What are Paul's thoughts and feeling concerning tho ono to whom ho wroto (verso 2)7 Ho applies no title reverend, bishop, elder, deacon, evangelist, pastor but calls him Timothy. That name told the story of his mother's devotion (Acts xvl, 1), and signified honor ing God. Paul calls him, "my dearly be loved son," and explains elsewhere (1 Tim. i, 1), that his relation was one cf faith. Timothy was converted under Paul's preaching, and by him received into companionship and ministerial ser vlco (Acts xvl. 1-3). Through this rela tion had come those Intimacies (Bom. xvl, 21), whloh had endeared each to the other, the heart of tho older naturally turning with prldo to his young associate. In his opening salutation Paul pronounces a blessing upon the young man, a three fold blessing of grace, mercy and peac, a summary of all .spiritual good. And in this he recognize God as Father, and Jesus as Christ (Messiah), or Lord and Master, These opening words apparent day evening. F. W. rearsall, secretary of the Railroad Young Men's Christian association, and tho Yokenwn band will conduct tho meeting. Everybody Is In vited to attend our meetings. Olllcew In charge, Captains Dickinson and Morrows. ' SEIDMAN SAYS HE WAS ROBBED. Alleges Thnt His $1,000 Vn Stolon from Him. Constnblo James Penman probably didn't know when he was conducting that sale on Penn avenuo this week that there was a man In tho crowd with $1,000 In his pockets. Such, however, Is tho claim that S. Seldman now makes. Mr. Seidman was present at the sale nnd bid on a suit of clothes. He was awarded the palm by Constable Penman, but he af terward refused to take tho clothes. The bystanders then Jumped on Mr. Seldman and beat him. He went bf fore Alderman Fuller ana swore out warrants for assault and battery for tho arrest of Morris Cohen, t.pwIb Cnnmnn. George Mark and Moses Cohen. Wednesday night ithey entered ball. Yesterday Mr. Seldman went before Alderman Howe and swore out war rants charging the four men with at tempting to rob him of $1,000, which ho had In his pockets at the tlmo of the assault. They entered ball In tho sum of $200 each to appear at court. COMPETITORS IN THE BEAUTY PRIZE.

The Company Prepnring for n Pros porous Summer. Judging from the Improvements that aro being made at the Northwest col liery near Simpson, the company Is preparing for a prosperous summer. Repairs are being made upon the breaker, and a new trestle Is being built. Work has also been commenced upon five large water tanks. The tanks are being built In order to be prepared should a drought, such as" that of last summer, occur again this year. The colliery was obliged to shut down sev eral days last summer owing to a lack of water. Carbondalo Herald. Wns Sorry. New Ofllca Boy A man called liere to thrash you a few minutes ago. Editor What did you say to him? "I told him I was sorry you weren't in." -Life. Irish Hulls. An Irishman, quarreling with an Eng lishman, told him if he didn't hold his tongue foe would "break, his impenetrable head, and let his brains out of his empty skull." Tld-BIts. ly subordinated Timothy, but at the same tlmo they honor him, and must havo been received with great favor. THANKFUL Paul next opens his heart as If unable to control his generous emotion toward the one beloved (verses 2 and 3). He declares his thankfulness for tho friendship of Timothy, us he had done for the fidelity of tho Roman Christians (Horn. I, 8), and of the Ephesian saints, (Eph. 1, 16). He professes that his ser vice for God antedates his conversion and reaches back to his forefathers (Acts xxil, 3), an announcement that Ms whole life has been consecrated. Ho says that In prayer he ceases not to remember Timothy day or night, according to his habit of personal petition (I Thcs. 1, 2). Ho refers to Timothy's tears, -shed per haps at their parting (Acts xx, 37-38), or under tho Influence of instruction given, and expresses an earnest desire to see him, expecting that the meeting would Kive him Joy. How -wonderful that tho heart of man can thus recall tho sweet associations of other days and yearn for a ro-unlonl Separation by a thousand miles awakens memory, Intensifies love, and kindles roly desire and hope. HEREDITARY. Thus far the letter had exprrsftd tho value of the relations subsisting between tho two men, and the regard arising from those relations. Next the thought turns to an estimate of Tim othy's real worth (verse 5). It was after all -his "unfeigned faith," that made him so dear to tho ppostle, a quality which had been previously mentioned as tho end of all holy dcslro and achlvement (1 Tim. I, 6).) A man free from all hyoocrlsy, truthful and good, Is universally admired. Besides, Timothy camo of good stock. His father was a Greek, but his mother and grandmother were pious Jewish women, who turned to Jesus on Paul's first mls sloni ry tour in Iconlum (Acts xlv, 19). It Is evident that the regard for Timothy was increased by the fact that ho was descended from such good women. How ever much wo may rejoice over the con version of ono raised up out of degrada tion, wo can never have as much genuine confidence In him as in cne who has an Inheritance of virtue. After tho mock senttmental'sm of some It Is high tlmo to put a premium on -thoso who come of truly good families, and who honor their parents, by walking In their footsteps (Ex. xx, 12). REMINDING. All this -nas intended to prepare Timothy for Paul's first advice (vort.es 6 and 7). The son of such a mother, held In high esteem by the emi nent apostlo to the Gentiles, was remind, ed of the ofllce into whloh he had been In ducted, for ho had been ordained to the Christian ministry by tho Imposition of Paul's hands (Acts vl, 8), and ho Is now urged to groat faithfulness (1 Tim. lv, 11). "8tlr up the gift of God," ho says, a fig ure of speech In which grace Is likened to fire that needs to be stirred up lest It go out (I Thes. v, 19). In this there is a suggestion that pcsslbly Timothy was re tiring In his disposition, disposed to BhrVk from public service. He is remind ed as a further Incentive that the Bcrlp turo was .not given to awaken his dllrl dence w tear, but rather to Impart strength and love and mental soundness. Ocntlng from his superior, his old precep tor and dearest friend, th-eie words must havo awakened Timothy to a higher ap preciation of his duty as a minister of ChrUt.' Many men need only to bo re Social and . PERSONAL Rev. Dr. and Mrs. N. O. Parke, of Plttston, on Tuesday celebrated their fiftieth or golden wedding anniversary. Between two and three hundred of their friends from Plttston 'iind vlcln 'ly offered their congratulation!! at a reception In tho afternoon.

The wedding ceremony was performed at the man sion of the bride's parents. The inter ior was completely decorated with June rosco, cornatlons, and laurel blossoms. The large drawing room was a bower of beauty, the color scheme was pink and white. A canopy of greeu, large minded of obligation to be modo faithful (2 Pet. Ill, 1). EXHORTING. The lesson commitTeo has abruptly broken tho apostle's lino of thought by omitting all that follows the seventh verse, and beginning with the 14th of tho following chapter. Fortunately tha disconnected .parts, when brought to gether, appear like a continuous composi tion. Timothy is urged, not only to dili gence, Tnit to loyalty to the teachings which had been delivered to him (verses It and 15). Paul would save him from any speculations or digressions and hold him to the things which he had learned (Jude 3). There was In that day danger of false doctrine contrary to tho spirit of Christ, subversive of tho soul (Acts xv, 34). Paul had experience on that point all through his ministry, and now is anxious that his young friend should stand fast. As a spe cial Incentive ho reminds Timothy of whom he had received these teachings, namely his Spiritual Father, and that he had been from childhood Instructed in Scripture (verso 15). Hence there was no occasion for turning aside to tho tradi tions and vagaries of men. FURNISHING. He who has tho Bible l fnllv furnished for the work of the ministry. This Is made evident by sev eral considerations. First, vthe Scriptures wero "given by Inspiration of God" (verse 10), and, therefore, they aro both reliable and authoritative (2 Pet. 1, 21), what can not be asserted of any other literature; second, they are uble to make one "wise unto salvation through faith" (verso 15), giving all tho Information needed aa a basis for the faith; third, they are profit able "for doctrine, for reproof, for cor rection, for Instruction," so that the saved may go on up Into tho heights of excellence: fourth, they cover the whole range of thought and action In the Chris tian llfo (Rom. xv, 4), fo that by them the Man of God may bo (perfect (verso 17): fifth, their outlines of human relations and duties are so ample that by means of them a man may toe thoroughly pre. pared for all good works. These facts concerning the Bible were enough to hold a young minister to the one only stand ard of faith and practice. CONCLUSION.-Prlmarlly this lesson la for ministers. It shows how those, who havo preached tho Gospel for many years and are about to pass away turn to tnoso who are to follow them, anxious that tlwy should maintain tho faith In Its purity and discharge their duty fully. No true min ister can bo Indifferent to tho future. His work and Its fruit will uppear after, ho is gone, and, If earnestly desirous to ad vance the cause of Christ, he must seek to perpetuate with successors what he has begun. The lesson also has a mes sage for all Christians, It Is not enough for any man to live for the present, meet ing Its obligations es they rise. He must deslro others ta enter into and to com plete his unfinished work (IValm xc, 17). In like manner-they who are coming Into places of trust, both ministers and lay men, do well to look reverently to their seniors 'and inquire after tho good old way of righteousness (Jer. vl, 16), The treasures bequeathed by the fathers ought over to bo prized. And whatever new thought or method may be proclaimed to tho world, of one thing all may bo as sured, that man will never outgrow tho Bible, To hold and teach its truths Is the highest duty, and honor of each gen. cratlon. enough to Include tho entire weddln? pnrty occupied one corner of the room.
