LESSON FOR JUNE 15
PAUL- CR0S3E8 TO EUROPE.
Acts, xvl:0-15.
DY ItKV. J. H. alLDKRT, D. D.
Secretary ot American Society ot Rcllglou
education.
CONTEXT. Our lust lesson pertained
to tho happy conclusion of tho controver
sy over circumcision in tho church nt
Antloeh. Shortly afterward, Paul set
out on his second missionary Journey, ac
companied by Silas. Passing through
Syila und Clllclu, ho visited tho
churches which ho had founded. At Lys
tra, Timothy, a oung disciple, piobably
converted on tho former visit (Acts, xlv,
G), was ordained to the mlnlstiy (t Tim.,
lv:14), nnd added to the party. Thence
traveling northward, the missionaries
dliectcd their steps In paths ptovlously
untrodden by tho messengers of Christ,
Into the dark depths of Paganism. Llttlo
Is known of what transpired In tho way.
Tho inspired wtlter had his mind on tho
objective point to bo reached further on,
nil account of which will bo given In to
day's lebson. The entire New Testament
narrative ii a lecltal merely of those im
portant events on which hlstoiy turned,
leaving other events unnoticed (John
xx:23).
JOURNEYING. Our lesson opens
(vol scs 6 nnd 7) with a baro mention of
tho countries, all Roman piovinces,
through which tho mlsslonniics Jour
nejed. The Jlrst, Phryglu, dlicctly west
of Lycaonla, contained tlneo Important
titlec, Illcrapolis, Colosso and Laodlccn,
but Paul deputed Epaphras (Col. lv;12) a
Chilstlnn of Gieen parentage, to labor
thoio and pushed on with Silas nnd Tim
othy into Galatla, n provinco to tho
noitheast.' Tho Galatlons were descend
ants of a band of adventurous Gauls, who,
about three centuries before tho Christ
ian era removed from their homo In
western Europe, fought their way thiougn
muny obstacles and finally settled in
Asia Minor. 'Warlike and domociatlo
theso people governed themselves, and
under the Impoilnl dominion letnlncd their
own ruleis. Paul's pleaching mado a
powerful lmpiesslon on their sensitive na
tures, and they cordially hcaid him and
accepted tho Gospel (Gul. lv:15).
nESTP.AINING.-On closing tho labors
in Galatla the mlsslonniics letinced their
stcp3, moving westward to tho boundary
of Mysla, ono of tho distiicts of the most
western piovinco called Asin, from which
wo obtain tho name now nppllcd to the
whole eastern continent. Heie a double
lcstrlctlon was laid upon Paul. He was
forbidden by tho Holy Ghost to pi each In
Asia (verso 6). Infcnlng that this Indi
cated the Lord's pleasure as to the next
Held of labor, ho was disponed tn move
northwaid and enter Dlthjnla (veiso 7),
a piovinco l?lng along tho southern shore
of Ponttis Kulnus, or, ns It now teimcd,
tho Black Sea. But the Split again In
tel posed. Thlo shows that tho mlsslonni
ics did not act freely they weio not
moved by their own inclination and im
pulse Spliit-gulded with closed llp3 they
passed directly acioss Msla, and came to
its chief city, Troas, by the sea (veiso
S), which stood near the site of ancient
Tioy, tho scene of Homei's immortal
poem.
DIRECTING. Having been bi ought
into a country wlieie they nie not allowed
to speak for Clulst, what shall these
picacheis do? They weio not left alono
indoubt. lu,th,p night Puul had a vis
ion." ""X Mncedo'nlan stood betoro him,
ciing, "Come over to Macedonia and
help us" (verso 9). That man was tho tit
repiesontatlvo of povveiful nations which
hud accomplished gicat things in the do
main of pontics, but woio glowing old
and feeble. "Wi lining in the icstlessncsj
of doubt at tho foot of their vvoi Id-famous
altars of art and beauty, they wcie tinn
ing tired ejes townid tho East, seeking
there a dcliveianco fiom evils of which
they had no longer any hope in them
selves." Claudius was then tho luler of
tho vvoild. 'Hie puppet of mlsti esses and
favoiite?, ho had Inid upon tho wiiolo cm
plio a yoke of deepest humiliation, a
slavery accompanied by no ledconilng lay
of glory. It was, thciofoie, a most op
portune time for Paul and his assoiintes
to enter Europe, c.uijlng tho everlasting
gospel, the only lnialllblo cuie for the ills

Isn't it ? That no one ever thought
before of making a really good ginger
snap, keeping it fresh in an airtight package
and selling it for 5 cents?
But thenj everybody can't have great ideas
and they couldn't carry them out if they did.
Zu Zir Ginger Snaps are the result of an
inspiration perfectly developed and carried out.
The best ginger snap you
ever tasted in an airtight

"Attarbory System"
The Most Distinguished
Ready-to-Wear Clothes
During our long and successful career we
have kept an Ideal before us the ideal of perfec
tion in clothes making. You probably remember our
introduction of this now famous 'Atterbury System.' '
It was the best that could be possibly made at that
time our Ideal had not been reached we wanted
it better. We worked hard from season to season to
make it better.
The "Atterbury System," as we show it
today, we believe is perfection in clothes making.
It's as good as it can be made this season. If it's
possible to make it better next season, we'll do it.
Such progression of method produces, without doubt,
satisfying results.
, "Atterbury System' ' has become the most
distinguished because of these progressive methods;
because of the excellence of style, quality of cloth and
1 tailoring. It stands today above the custom tailor's
system and deserves the continual praise
it is receiving from men who know the
good points in Fashionable clothes making
There is no record in the tailor
ing business of such results having
been achieved as is shown by the "At
terbury System" up to date. We want
you to watch its progress, and we'll ap
preciate it as a courtesy on your part if
you'll favor us with your presence and
allow us to further explain the merits of
the "Atterbury System" of Ready-to-Wear
Clothes.
