The Gospel In Samaria, Acts vlll:4
35.
y Golden Text. The people with ono
accord gave heed unto those things
which Philip spake, hearing and see
ing the miracle which he did. Acts
Till: 6.
Verse 4. What caused the "scatter
ing abroad" of the Christian com
munity? Was the persecution of the church,
headed by Saul, n blessing or a curse?
Was this persecution according to
Qod's first best plan?
When God's first, or original, plan
Is upset by an evil, is there any evi
dence to show that he uses that very
evil to bring about that which he had
. planned to accomplish another way?
(See case of Joseph also of Jesus.)
Verse 5. Who was Philip?
Should the church, today, utilise
laymen more in preaching the gospel?
What did Philip preach at Samaria?
What do you understand by Philip
preaching Christ?
Verses 6-7. How do you account
for .it, that the peoplo turned to God
with such unanimity
Does the Holy Spirit always accom
pany the preaching of the gospel?
If Philip's congregation had been
made up of 1909 ex-Sunday school
scholars, would the result of his
preaching have been different?
Verse 8. What Is the proof thai
Philip's converts were real, and what
la the proof of the reality of every
conversion?
Is Joy a necessary accompaniment
of conversion?
Verses 9-11. What Is or what was
cor eery?
Is there any evidence to believe,
that there are, or ever have been per
sons with tho power claimed by witch
03, conjurers, fortune tellers and simi
lar fakirs?
Verse 12. Is It reasonable to be
lieve that all who were baptised wero
genuine converts?
Verse 13. What ever change may
have come over him after, do you
think Simon was really converted at
this time?
What were then, and what are
now, the conditions for the forgive
ness of our sins, or conversion?
Verses 14-17. At the time of the
'Scattering abroad" did all the Apos
tTes remain at Jerusalem?
What was the purpose of sending
Feter and John to Samaria, seeing
they had Just had a great revival?
Did Peter and John pray that these
young converts might receive the Holy
Spirit?
Did all the converts In Apostolic
days, receive tho Holy Spirit after
tlielr conversion?
Why was not the Holy Spirit given
to the converts at Samaria when they
were converted?
Is it the duty and privilege of every
Christian to be conscious that the
Holy Spirit dwells In him, and that
he Is Divinely guided In all things?
(This question must be answered In
writing by members of the club.)
Verses 18-24. Are deceivers and
tricksters apt to think that all others
are like themselves?
Is It possible to obtain spiritual
Tower with the purpose of making
money out of It?
Is It possible that this Simon had
been converted and that his love of
fume, and of money, had led him to
this evil?
Verse 25. What Is the only hope of
getting the world converted?
Lesson for Sunday, March 7, 1909.

In Aesop's Vein.
Said the Grocer's Scale to the Orange
Peel,
"It would pleasure me much to know,
sir,
What you are doing." Quoth the Peel,
"I'm lying In wait for the Grocer."
"Our weighs are alike," the Scale replies,
"For, strangely as It appears,
To tell the truth (though speaking of
Ilea),
I've been doing the same' for years I"

When Bureau Drawers Slick.
To prevent bureau drawers from
(ticking wax the benrlngs. Use a good
Boor wax, rubbing It to a gloss. This
Is much better than tho old, untidy
way of using soap, which Is rarely
satisfactory, and, besides, the wax will
not catch and hold dust and dirt as
the soap would.

THE VALUE OF TEARS.
A Good Hearty Cry Often Leaves the
Person Refreshed.
Tears arc a valuable and incidental
ly n much abused means of relieving
hcrvoua tension. For relief their Im
portance cannot be overestimated, bnt
when they are allowed to flow to the
extent of creating weakness they be
come a source of danger Justifying
heroic measures to stop. A little cry
ing at times Is excellent and has often
saved the mind of more than one wo
man, but the crying habit is almost as
deeply to be deplored as that of taking
drug.
In effect the "results of the two are
not very different Excessive weeping
weakens the mind and nerves as well
is the character. It also taxes tlie
physical strength, and a woman who
allows herself to indulge In a burst of
tears every tlmo there Is the slightest
cause shows no more strength of mind
and character than might be expected
of a child.
One of the times when tears are Jus
tified Is when a woman has been
through a severe nervous strain of
some kind and Is wrought up to a
point of exhaustion. But this point
has by no nieans been reached simply
because she Is annoyed, for example,
or has been disappointed. A child cries
when refused candy. If a woman also
sheds tears because she cannot have a
new gown or go to the theater there is
little to choose between the two Indi
viduals except that she la old enough
to know better. No wise person per
mits the child to continue crying, and
certainly the woman should not permit
herself such outbursts.
Yet If she Is experiencing great grief,
whether it comes suddenly or after
weeks, such as death through Illness,
tears for a time will help. But should
she allow them to continue they will
take from her strength Just as surely
as would the constant use of a drug.
This fact a woman who does not
wish to belittle her' mind and character
should remember. Whining tears be
ing squeezed out on the slightest prov
ocation are unjustified. A good hearty
cry that leaves the person refreshed
and stronger none need object to.
A FRENCH DINING ROOM.
Color Scheme and Woodwork Suggest
Statelinest.
The Parisian dining room is apt to
have a light color scheme. In the il
lustration the woodwork Is of white
mahogany, while the walls are of
French blue, which the dinner servIiT
matches, by the way.
Notice the beautiful carving on the
sideboard and the pure Louis XIV. lines
louis xiv f unman ikq.
of the chairs, which are enriched by
gilt ornaments and have tho seats and
backs of gilded cane work.
On the table there is a gilt center
piece for flowers, which is In the true
splrltof the period. Other touches of
gilt occur in the electric light fixtures
on the side walls and In the big center
chandelier, which Is very ornate.

The Era of New Mixed Paints !
This year open3 witn a deluge of new mixed paints. A con
dition brought about by our enterprising dealers to get some kind
of a mixed paint that would supplant CHILTON'S MIXED
PAINTS. Their compounds, being new and heavily advertised,
may find a sale with the unwary.
ZS rSiSf "CHILTON'S MIXED PAINTS
Is JADWIN'S PHARMACY.
There are reasons for the pro-eminence of CHILTON PAINTS-
1st No ono can mix a better mixed paint.
' 2d The painters declare that it works easily and has won
derful covering qualities.
3d Chilton stands back of it, and will agree to repaint, at his
own expense, every surface painted with Chilton Paint that
proves defective.
4th Those who have used it are perfectly satisfied with it,
and recommend its use to others.
