NEW WOMEN AND THE OLD
Who Would Exchange Modern
Woman for Old-Fashloned One
as We Imagine Her?
. "Who but a ninny would exchange
the modern woman as she ofteu Is for
the old-fashioned one as we are apt to
Imnglne her?" asks Judge Itobert
Grant of the Massachusetts probate
court.
"It being woman's nature observe
tho word, please to be sweet and
charming, conipnsKlonute, self-sncriMc-Ing,
loving and tender-hearted, can uny
ono regard her exchunge of docility for
self-reliance nnd nn outlook limited by

which enables her to see the world as
It really Is as anything but a gain?
"There used to he dread In the days
t!t our grandmothers that tho new
woman would dress like man. A few
1 women did and were nearly mohhed.
"So Impressed, on the contrary. Is
tho new woman with the Importance
of looking her best that she has been
apt during tho present generation to
npe the fashion plates of the deml
mondo In order to tttrnct."

LESSON FOR DECEMBFR 31
CHRIST'S COMING AND COMING
. TO CHRIST (REVIEW).
READING LKSSON-Rev K:-M; 16:2t
GOLDEN TEXT The spirit and the
bride ay, come. And he that lieareth, '
let him aay, come. And he that la athlrat,
let him come. lie that wills, let him take
of the water of life freely. -Kev. 22:17.
It Is possible In lessons one to nine
to review the pust quarter's work. In
a logical, chronologlcul manner, but
lessons 6even und nine -re not In their
proper chronological setting. These les
sons extend over five years of Paul's
life from about 08 A. D. to 03 A. D.
They are five wonderful years, and the
lust of tho authentic years we huve of
the life of this wonderful man. Th
review should of course center In Puul, '
his conduct, character and teachings.
The first twelve chapters of the Hook
of Acts, In which we have chiefly been
studying, cover a period of about six
teen years, A. D. 30-40, with Jerusalem
as the center. The rest of the I took of
Acts cover another period of approxi
mately 10 yeurs from 40 to C2, nnd is
the record of the foreign missionary
work of Puul and his companions. Pout
being of course the central character.
The series for this quarter closo with
the vision of the final triumph of Chris
tianity as seen by John In the Revela
tion. Maps should he employed If pos
sible to show the Journeys of Paul.
The risen Christ and the emblement
of the Holy Spirit were the vision and
the power which wrote this first
Church History, and which hnve been
writing Church History ever since.
The home church (Chs. 2-7) begun with
about 120 praying men nnd women.
Peter's first sermon brought Into "the
way" 3,000 more. From time to time
others were added. Persecution nnd
deliverances, the first martyr, Stephen,
and the dissatisfaction which led to
the choice of the deucons, are the out
standing events of this period. The
home mission period, with Jerusalem
as the center nnd Pulestlne as the field
(Chapters 8-1-) covers a period of
about ten years. Persecution scattered
the disciples throughout the country.
Paul was converted on the road to
Damascus, Philip goes to Samaria, and
Peter curries on the work throughout
Lyddn, Joppn nnd Cnvsnren, In this
section we have the story of Philip
nnd the Ethiopian, of Peter curing tho
palsied man nt Lyddu, the raising of
Dorcns nnd Puul nnd Ilarnnhns return
ing to Jerusalem with help to those
nt that city who were suffering from
famine. Then begins the period of for
eign missions, covering nhout sixteen
yenrs, from nbout A. D. 47 to C2. The,
principal characters begin of courso
with Puul and Uuruahas, though Paul
soon takes his place of lendershlp.
Paul's first missionary Journey lasted
for nhout two years, from say A. D.
47 to 41), Ihirnalias being his principal
companion. Returning to Antloch from
Jerusalem, Paul soon began his second
Journey, this time tuklng with him
SIlus. Again there Is n period of nbout
two yenrs, from A. D. 50 to 52. Pnul
hnd his Macedonian vision during this
time, and the gospel first entered Eur
ope, beginning with the conversion of
the Phllllplun Jailor. Paul's preaching
ut Athens and his service nt Corinth
are perhaps the most outstanding fea
tures of this Journey. Paul's third Jour
ney lasted nearly three years, A. D. 53
to 50 or 57. lie re-vislts the Asia Minor
churches to strengthen them, spends
nearly three years at Ephesus, nnd tins
some outstanding adventures ns, for
Instance, the riot nt Ephesus nbout
the shrines of Dinim. Returning to
Jerusalem to take part In the feast, he
Is told of the ultimate persecutions
which ho must endure. For a long
time he has desired to prench the gos
pel In Rome. Everyone of the trials,
hindrances, oppositions nnd nttneks
proved to be the means by which he
gnlned that desired end. Indeed the
Roman government finally gave him
free transportation, though they did
not understand It at the time. The ns
snult upon Paul nt the Templo Court
of Jerusalem, the conspiracy to mur
der him, his Imprisonment nt Caesnren,
his appeal to Caesar, his Journey, ship
wreck and final deliverance at the lm-.
perlal city, chained to a Roman sol
dier, nnd ve nre nt the end of authen
tic history regarding this ninrvelous
man who, nslde from Jesus Christ,
has mnde the gretitest Impress upon
history of any tnnn who ever trod this
earth.
In this particular qunrter, In lesson
one, we see Paul's calmness In persecu
tion, his prudence under danger. In
lesson two, his delicate courtesy and
shrewdness In seizing every opportu
nity that he might witness for his Lord.
In lesson three Is manifested his un
shnken belief In everything found In
the Scriptures, nnd his wise use there
of In leading men to Christ. In lesson
five, his fearlessness nmldst danger
and his nbsolute confidence In God. In
lesson six, his humility. In lesson sev
en, his well balnneed common sense
and his love of peace among his breth
ren. In lesson eight, we see him long
ing for human companionship nnd
sympathy, and have an evidence of his
lovo for his own countrymen, and yet
IHi faithfulness declaring' (lie word bt
God to them as well as to the Gentiles.
In lesson nine, we see how he built his
practical teachings for tho. conduct of
dally life upon the doctrine nbout God
and the eternal purposes of God and
the bouudless mercy nnd grace of God.
The remaining lessons of this last qunr
ter give us In type nnd uyiubol, as well
as definite description, a suggestion of
ihe ultimate glory nnd triumph of that
kingdom of which the Lord of Lords
nnd king of kings, our master and
savior, Is to be the ruler.
