STORMY CAREER
OF STRONG MAN
Greatness of Paul of Tarsus Not
Recognized in His Own
Day
(By William T. Ellis.)
Last evening I talked with a friend
from Tarsus, the city In Cillcia which
was the birthplace of the Apostle
Paul, and which he declared to be
"no mean city." As we discussed peo
ple and events —the new massacre—of
which this is the first mention in print,
a fresh outburst during the present
summer, in which more than ten thou
sand Armenians have been slain out
right; the brilliant students known to
us, who had Importuned to come' to
America, and who have since been
slain; the Turkish officials and resi
dent Americans known to us—l wish
ed that this region of Asia, Minor, so
well known to my friends and to Paul
and to his traveling companions,
might become a real place to the mil
lions of Sunday school members who
are now looking back over three
months of Sunday school lessons, all
laid in this part of the world". The
greatest danger in all Bible teaching is
that of unreality. Many persons re
gard these lessons as from a book,
and not from life. That the partici
pants in the events recorded in the
quarter's lessons were as truly flesh
and blood as the friend with whom I
talked last night, and that all the
places mentioned are spots in which,
In times of peace, the traveler may go,
is the first point to be stressed.
Every day now we read dispatches
fro mthe Near East with a Salonlki
date line, and yet few of us recall
that this is the very same Thessalonica
where Paul adventured and established
a church, and to which he addressed
two of the letters which now make up
part of the New Testament canon.
Likewise Athens is a turbulent news
center, with some of the same charac
teristics that it had when Paul preach
ed on Mars Hill. It is stimulating to
recall that in Athens and Tarsus, and
elsewhere, one may still see, as I have
seen, the very structures on which the
Apostle Paul looked. So the first aid
to imagination, in connection with the
present lesson, is the fact that the
world war Is just now at an acute
stage in the very theater of the pres
ent quarter's lesson. The Bible deals
with realities as truly as the dailv
newspapers.
A Man as a Storm Center
About once a century there arises
a man who seems born to be a world
center and a maker of history. These
men, who are bigger than their time,
and who seem to shape events to their
own personality, are always great
doers, as well as great thinkers.
Among them, Paul of Tarsus has a
place. His own day did not fully
recognize his greatness. Most observ
ers thought him only a troubler of the
established order, a fanatical follower '
of the new sect of the Xazarenes. At
first his career had started auspiciously
along conventional lines, by securing
the attention and favor of the recog
nized leaders. Suddenly he broke
from the powerful party whose pro
tege he was, and thereafter consorted
with despised Galileans and peasants,
and the folk who made up the com
pany nick-named "Christians." Paul
voluntarily became a "nobody"—and
thereby became more potent In human
history than any other one man.
There is a sad side to this strong
man's life. He was a gentleman and
a scholar, and loved quiet and ease
and intercourse with cultured equals.
Tet his lot was to be a storm-center
of trouble wherever he went. The
portion of the outlaw was his—deri
sion, arrests, prison, stonings and per
secution. A sensitive spirit, craving
the favor of friends. hS was called
upon to be the arch opponent of the
established order, and therefore hated
and execrated by those whose friend
ship he deserved. By aptitude and
training a cloistered man of books, he
had to travel over sea and land, amid

perils without number. Of a temper
ament needing the cherishing care of
a wife and homo and with a peculiar
aptitude for domesticity, he was driv
en forth a wanderer on the earth,
God's knight-errant, with the world
for his family. Even Paul did not un
derstand that God was denying him
the lesser comforts In order that he
might earn a great crown; for by his
toils and tribulations and labors, Paul
the persecuted has become Paul, the
leader of mankind, the shaper of a
race's thought, the interpeter of God
to all the world.
An loner liiography
By interweaving lessons from the
Acts and from the Epistles during this
quarter, the lesson committee has
wrought a rare service. In that it has
given a glimpse of the deod of the
doer and of his mind at the same
time. The charm of autobiography,
with its Illuminating self-revelations,
runs through the lessons; and we get
a new understanding of the Apostle
Paul.
A rare and pertinent touch of auto
biography is found in the bit of the
second Letter to the Corinthian Chris
tians that is to-day's assigned portion.
Verses 8-12, and 16-18, of Chapter 4,
are thus translated by Dr. Weymouth:
"We are hard pressed, yet never in
absolute distress; perplexed, yet never
utterly baffled; pursued, yet never left
unsuccored; struck to the ground, yet
never slain; always wherever we go,
carrying with us In our bodies the put
ting to death of Jesus, so that in our
bodies It may also be clearly shown
that Jesus lives. For we, alive though
we are, are continually surrendering
ourselves to death for the sake of
Jesus, so that in this mortal nature of
ours tt may be clearly shown that
Quick, Painless Way
to Remove Hairy Growths
(Helps to Beauty)
Here is a simple, unfailing way to
rid the skin of objectionable hairs:
With some powdered delatone and wa
ter make enough paste to cover the
hairy surface, apply and In about 2
minutes rub off, wash the skin and
every trace of hair has vanished.
This is quite harmless, but to avoid
disappointment be sure to get the
delatone in an original package.
BE GOOD TO YOUR

It's the tasiest thing In the world
to have coo\, happy comfortable feet.
Just try thli simple little test and see
for yourself: Go to H. C. Kennedy or
any good druggist, get a package of
EZO, the wonderful new foot balm.
Rub It gently on your feet to-night
before going to bed and—good-bye

It's just like magic the way this
simple little EZO rubs the pain, the
ache, the swelling and the misery out
of tired, misused feet; and, what will
tickle you most the happy feeling

fussy prepared alum powders and foot
paints! Give your feet a real treat with
EZO. Do it Just this once and make

Jesus lives. Thus we are constantly
dying, while you are In full enjoy
ment of life.
"Xay, though our outward man Is
wasting away, yet our inward man is
being renewed day by day. For this
our light ajid transitory burden of
suffering is achieving for us a pre
ponderating, yes, a. vastly preponder
ating, and external weight of glory;
while we look not on things seen, but
things unseen; for things seen are
temporary, but things unseen are eter
nal." <
A host of ripe Christians, who have
walked the way of tribulation, find
their hearts beating In unison with the
Apostle, as they read these words.
They are following his way to the
prizes of Christ. Paul Is the spiritual
progenitor of unnumbered saints.
In another sense, he is still a living
force in the turbulent scene of the
present warfare in the Near East. The
churches which he there founded still
abide, despite the mutations of the
centuries. He planted a leaven which
has been a revolutionizing force In the
world, setting up new empires and
overturnipg the old. The cross in
which he gloried became the symbol
of sovereignty of the Old Rome on the
seven hills by the Tiber, and of the
New Rome on Its seven hills by the
Bosphorus.
After the War
What we may call the geograhlcal
consequences of the present war will
be very great. Among them will be
the opening of the Near East to the
western world. Where there used to
be one traveler to Bible lands, there
will be a hundred. I do not dwell
upon Zionism, and the present plans
It is making for the devout Jews of the
world, after the war. With peace, and
the complete overthrow of the Turk
ish Empire (without which any peace
would bo premature), order and safety
will come to these places of sacred
memory.
Then wo may look forward to pil
grimages over the scenes of Paul's
labors. Sunday school students by the
thousands will visit the six cities stud
led during the last three months —the
ruins of old Philllpi, where Paul estab
lished the first Church In Europe; ro
mantic Salonlkl, or Thessalonlca, with
Its new military Importance and its an
cient religious significance; Athens, al
ways a world capitol, and still a shrine
for lovers of beauty and history; the
little city on the Isthmus that was old
Corinth; Ephesus, perhaps the most
Interesting of all the ruined cities of
earth; and ever-living Jerusalem,
home of the hearts of a host of friends
of God. Step by step, we may go over
Paul's experiences. The geography of
the journey will Illumine the inspired
narrative. And as we study, there will
emerge a new conviction of the power
of the personality behind the history;
and wo shall get a new conception of
the living truth that God cares for His
own; and that no man who lives for
Him and work for Him Is ever a fail
ure.

HAHRISBURG TELEGRAPH!
London Society Unwillingly
Sending Names to Fake War
Charity Organizations
London, Sept 15. —(Correspondence
of the Associated Press) —London so
ciety has been stirred by the revela
tion that some of its titled and most
prominent members have unwittingly
been lending their names to fraudu
lent war charity organizations. The
names of the frauds and of the lead
era of England's aristocracy who
served on committees were not given
out by the government committee
which made the disclosures.
Following close on the heels of the
report the founder of a war fund was
arrested, speedily convicted and sen
tenced to six months' imprisonment
at hard labor for converting its money
to his own use. In passing sentence the
court condemned widely known per
sons who had allowed their names to
be used on "dummy committees."
Rumors that all was not straight
in the affairs of many of the "charity"
organizations which have sprung up
since the outbreak of the war were
heard early this year and resulted in
the appointment of the committee.
Its report bristles with stories of fake
charities, astounding proof of the
gullibility of mankind, and the case
wherewith distinguished persons may
be trapped into lending their names
to what is described as "organixed
roguery."
The report, for instance, refers to
one charity that published no ac
counts, to another with a merely nom
inal committee, to & third whose bal
ance-sheet falls to account for a quar
ter at a million dollars, to a fourth
started by an undischarged bankrupt,
to a fifth that was the invention of a
foreign swindler. To all these the pub
lic gave freely.
"The favorite dodge," says the re
port. "is really to expend the major
part of the sum collected on the nom
inal object of the charity and only
Doctor Tells How To Strengthen
Eyesight SO per cent In One
Week's Time In Many Instances
A Free Prescription You Can Have
Pilled and Use at Home
Philadelphia, Pa. Do you wear
glasses? Are you a victim of eye strain
or other eye weaknesses? If so, you
will be glad to know that according to
Dr. Lewis there is real hope for you.
Many whose eyes were falling say they
have iiad their eyes restored through
the principle of this wonderful free pre
scription. One man says, after trying
It: "I was almost blind; could not see
to read at all. Now I can read every
thing without any glasses and my eyes
do not water any more. At night they
would pain dreadfully; now they feel
fine all the time. It was like a miracle
to me." A lady who used it says: "The
atmosphere seemed hazy with or with
out glasses, but after using this pre
scription for fifteen days everything
seems clear. I can even read fine print
without glasses." It is believed thai
thousands who wear glasses can now
discard them in a reasonable time ana
multitudes more will be able to
strengthen their eyes so as to be
spared the trouble and expense of ever
... v , UoHhU* nf
steal twenty or thirty thousand
pounds."
After calling: attention to the reck
lessness of titled and prominent peo
ple in lending their names to these
fake charities, the committee recom
mends state supervision throughout
registration of charity funds.
"But," says the Dally Mail, "that
is not enough. First let us have the
title of the bogus charities or the
names of their 'treasurers.' Titled and
prominent people who lend their
names. In this way place a vicious
and contemptible blot on our social
system, and It would do a world of
good If the names of the dummy pat
rons were published along with the
frauds they have helped to foster."
Many promoters have found the war
charity a gilt-edged investment, the
Dally Sketch deduces and adds:
"There are certain men and women
in society who think that they have
fulfilled most of their obligations to
charity by allowing their names to go
on every committee which writes to
them."
