(Copyright by Western Newspaper Union.; LESSON FOR JULY 16 PAUL AT ATHENS. LESPON TFXT Acta 17:10-34. OOLDLN TEXT In him we live, line move and have our being. Act 17:31. Athens! What a name to conjure with. Athens has always' epitomized the acme of lntellectualism, culture, art, and esthetic accomplishment. Driven from Iterea and alone, Paul fled to the coast and taking ship crossed over to the Thessalonlan peninsula. Entering the city he beholds Its stat uary, meets Its philosophers and views Its moral degradation and its myriad manifestations of heathenism. Out wardlv cultured, molding the thought of the world, yet It passed tfom Its pinnacle of power because it knew not God. Paul saw tho pantheism of tho cultured Stoics and the Epicureans who because ot their distant and but little concerned cods, enjoyed the pleasure of wealth and ease. I. Paul Brought to Trial (vv. 16-21). Such sights stirred tho spirit ofruul. The marvel is how Indifferent we may become In the presence of the great snlrltual poverty of our time. His spirit stirred within him, whon he saw the city crowded with Idols. As Paul followed his custom and began his preaching In the synagogue he als took advantage of the opportunity to Do open-air work in the market place, More a small group and there another This he did dally until the teacher (v. 18) began to take knowledge ol his presence In their city. Some In contempt called him a 'bubbler," while others concluded that he represented some new religion, though he set be fore them the same message of salva tlon In Jesus Christ which had caused such remarkable results elsewhere That they might hear him more fully and without the Interruption of the mart of trado, Paul Is taken to tho oreopagus, or Mars Hill, where from time immemorial the greatest crlm Inals had been sentenced and the most solemn questions of religion set tled. II. The Unknown Made Known, (vv 2-29). Such idle speculation (v. 21) was of no value to the Athenians. This Paul knew, yet he began his address In a most conciliatory manner (v. 22 R. V.). He would win their favorable attention before he called them to re pentance. Keenly observant, Paul had seen among the many Inscriptions one to the unknown God," and this one whom In Ignoranee they worshiped, he would sot forth. Many today are In blindness, seeking to know God when he has already been made manifest (to be seen). (John 1 : IS : John 5:20; John 14:9; II Cor. 4:6.) It Is man's own fault If he does not know God (Rom. 1:20-22, 28; II Cor. 4:4), and no knowl edge Is more important (John 17:3) Paul's opening woids in verso 24 were but to seize a well-known object of their street docoration and discussions and with It to lead on to the great truth he yearned to have them compre hend. This caught the philosophers as well as the Idle curious. God Is not a philosophic conception of the mind He cannot be contincd to temples made with bands nor does he need the services of our hands, seeing ho cre- atod all tilings and glveUi to all things life. Paul's next point was that "He hath made of one every nation ol men." As yet how little men really believe that truth witness the Euro pean conflict and the economic, racial and social differences of this land. Negro segregation and Asiatic exclu sion are but illustrations of our sepa ration from the teaching of the broth erhood of man. But this brotherhood is not alone for altruistic service but 'that they should seek God." This was his great and glorious purpose in creatine the nations o tho earth, in setting the seasons Ui motion, to min ister to their needs, and In appointing the bounds ot their habitations, y-t bow far man has departed from that Ideal (Rom, 1:28). It Is of tho high est Importance that men should seek God and he is not difficult to And for those who sek him (Jor. 29:13). The souls of men are not satisfied without him. Witness tho mad rush after pleasure and the. restless desire to pos sess the things of time and sense and which porlsh with the using. ?aul displays his university training by quoting and approving the Greek pout Aratus (v. 28.) However, while all men are the offspring of (created by) God. yet they are not all truly bis chil dren (John 8:44, 47; I John 3: 10; MnO 13:3S: Gal. 4:4-6; Hob. 12:8; Eph 2:3). Only such are children as nave recolved Jesus Christ (John 1:12 R V.). All those who are led by his SDirlt are the "sons of God" (Ron 8:14: Gal. 3:26 R. V.). III. What the Athenians Lacked (vt. 30-34). Thus lar Paul's auditors must have followed him keenly, and It was the goal toward which he had been driving so relentlessly. Such subllmo conceptions, keen logic and quotations from their writers won their attention. He then delivered a keen thrust at this, the "psychological moment," by calling upon them to "re pent." The Athenians lacked a realiz ing sense of the personality of God- that man could have personal and In tlmate relations with God or that a man could or had rlBen from the dead. "AH men everywhere" are called to repentance and the tlmo Is "now. The reason) tor this call Is because "he hath ariDointed a day In wnich he will Judge the Inhabited earth.' ' The assurance that he will so Judg" men of their sins by the man whom lie has elected Is In that "Ho hath raised him from the dead" (v. 31). Any candid seeker after truth whe wllr examine the evidence will be con vinrnd of the truth that Jesus ol Nazareth, crucified upon a Rouiar cross, rose from the dead. I ,'!-M' W.

If the bride Is one of those who llk to be conservative in the styles (elected for her gown and veil she nay wear the veil as shown In the oleture. The wreath Is arranged in the fi.shlnn of a coronet and the veil envelops the figure. Other styles may come and go. h'U this one goes on forever. Perhaps that Is because the wreath suggests a crown und be n use the arrangement of It Is utmost universally becoming. Tor the bride who decides that something new suits her personality better, or Is better suited to the sort of wedding she elects to have, there are many piquant and novel wuys for mounting the wedding veil. In nearly all of them little cups of bice support the tulle, but there are cups of tulle, caps of pearl beads, of even hats of tulle, from which the vll. ulwuys am ple, floats about the figure. One of the prettiest diapes has a little close fitting cap of Hue luce like n "Itaby Stuart" cap.

What Might Bs Considered Accident Was the Means of Revealing What , Meant Fortune to Jim Apple gate and His Mother. One day In March, 1858, Jim Apple gate, aged twelve, accompanied his fa ther to the bank of a little Indiana town, where Mr. Applegate drew out the $5,000 fur which be bud sold his furm, In 2M 20-dollar gold pieces. "It will pay you to keep un eye on that pile of gold," cautioned the banker. "Tomorrow I'll put It ih a hickory bank," said Mr. Applegate. The bunker smiled as if he cuught tho point but Jim was puzzled. "Whut Is a hickory bunk, pa!" he asked. "It's a pretty safe sort of bank, son, when you're truvellng," was all his fa ther would say. At the hardware store Mr. Applegate bought nn liieli-und-threc-qnurters auger with nn extra long shaft, nnd then they went home. After that night Jim suw the money no more. Mr. Ap plegate kept his business affairs to himself, and neither Jim nor bis moth er knew where It was. The' Applegate family was one of ten families that traveled In prairie wagous that year from Indiana to Ore gon over the famous Oregon trail. The 2,000-mlle Journey was less dangerous than It had been In years before, but there were still perils, the most serious of which was that from attacks by bos- tile Indians. For that reason there was something of a military arrangement to the march even of these ten wagons, and each night the wagons were drawn up In a circle nnd the yoke and chains of each wagon were used to connect It with that In front Within this circular fortl ficution the camp fires were built On the eightieth day out tlu-y were attacked by a party of young Indians who thought to take advantage of the smnllness of the party. The skirmish was brief, but bloody und tragic enough for that small band of emigrants. They drove off the redskins, but lost two of their own number. One of the men who were killed was Mr. Applegate. Mrs. Applegate left her husband, nnd Jim, bis fill her, under the fresh-heaped mound upon the plain, nnd there also they left the secret of the "hickory bank." They ransacked the wagon from top to bottom: they looked through all of Mr. A,iplegnte's private papers and notebooks; but they could not find the money, nor did the papers contain any note or memorandum of Its hiding place. All that Jlin and his mother had was little over a hundred dollars In money, five cows, t'ie ox team they were driving, the wagon nnd the house hold effects that It contained. Westward from Fort Hull the road was rough and mountainous. One flay, as they were descending the rockiest and roughest portion, the Applegate wagon was In the rear. It was three o'clock In the afternoon. Jim's mother was driving, nnd he was walking be hind, occasionally throwing a stone nt me of the loose cows or calve that (erslsted In Interne. There were abrupt breaks In the surface two and three feet high. The rear wheels would slide over these miniature precipices and hit the lower level with n sudden ness nnd violence Hint shook the whole wagon and rattlod the pans und ket tles off their hooks. After one of these "Junip-offs." some what higher than usual, Jim saw that the hind wheels of the wagon were turning drunkenly. They were lean lag In nt the top und nut nt the bottom. His mother drove on, unaware that anvthlni! was wrong, nnd he ran to catch up with her. A shining gold piece In the middle of the road caught his eye. Ataliinta-like, be stopp-d to pick It up. Fifteen feet farther on be found number. They began to appear thickly, and be gathered them up as liv went Itefore he reached the wagon his mother bad driven over another of the "Jtimp-olTs." and the tops of the rt heels leaned In so fur that tliey began to nil) against the sides of the wagon bed. Mrs. Applegate stopped the oxen and leaned out to see what was the matter. Jim came up and stooped down re side the rear nxlo. A yellow pile .if $'J0 gold pieces lay there, and other pieces were rolling out of nn uuger hole thot ran like t he bore of u rille through tho center of the splintered hickory column of the broken uxie. That was the hickory bank. louth s Companion. Army Grows Its Potatoes. The British nrmy bus started to grow Its own potatoes.

SOME FORMS OF HYPNOTISM Many May Be Known to the Readers, While Others Have A Flavor That Is New. Hypnotizing n hen Is a trick known to most country boys.
