Paul was a man ‘who had learned Christ,” and that is what he sets down as the one great foundation of all Christian liv- ing. We cannot follow Christ, we | cannot understand His precepts {or emulate His example, unless we have so lived with Him and so taken His teaching into our lives that we have learned from Him as a Master. What is this deepest of all truths in Jesus that Paul says we may learn of Christ? It is the les- son that our lives can be recreated and renewed, that we can put on { what Paul calls ‘‘the new man created in righteousness and holi- 1 ness,” putting away all the evil attitudes and evil words and evil acts that are associated with the “old man.” * ond ® AUL, who saw the Christian life in all its largeness and com- | prehensiveness, saw it also in its most minute details of daily liv- ing. The large life of love and righteousness and truth was to be manifest in a restraint upon evil | temper and upon a hasty tongue. The more truly man had his the more inevitably would he re- | frain from evil habits and prac- | tices. Paul saw this Christian life as a life of self-control and discipline, but as a life of elemental peace, heart set upon the higher things, The Meaning of Christian Life because disharmony and discord had been overcome through grace. To him the Christian life was one of a supreme joy that could not be shaken even by suffering and persecution. In his own life he showed that, even in the darkness of a prison, with his feet fast in the stocks, he and his companion could sing songs and praises to God. It means much to have an experience like that, but Paul believed that it was an experience that was pos- sible for every Christian. * * * IT was not some great mirac- ulous thing to which only a few could attain; people, even but common those whose lives had been marred by gross sins and wrong attitudes, could find such peace and joy through the re-creation of their lives by the power of Christ. This is the standard of Chris- tian living. Cur lesson is given as an international temperance lesson, but the standard applies to every aspect of life and to everything that would weaken or destroy the soul's integrity and strength. Paul saw men and women giv- ing themselves over to evil habits and evil practices in the hope of finding some stimulation and in- toxication, as young folks today would say “getting a kick out of life.” He pointed out a higher way. It was not a way of mere nega- tion or of dumbness; it was a way also of inspiration and of stimulation amounting even to intoxication. But Paul’s words were, ‘“‘Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess: but be filled with the Spirit.” That {is intoxication to some | ‘Vanderbilts War For Rich Child Two socially prominent Amer- ican women and a 10-year-old custody.

Ee i ei Horse Pioneered Way For Mcdern Food System of The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea ““TN"HE red wagon trail blazed by horse - drawn wagons through the hub-deep mud of the highways of the last half of the 1800’s pio- neered the way for the modern sys- J. T. Patten, oldest living member Company organization, which is celebrating its 75th Anniversary this month. “Horses, though rarely given credit, played as important a part in the development of modern food distribution as they did in set- tling the West,” Mr. Patten stated. “In the 1870’s when 1 started in the grocery business,” Mr. Patten continued, “transportation wasn’t as good as it is now. Many of our cus- tomers could not get to the stores for their supplies. But then as now, our company believes that large vol- ume of business results in reduced prices. This volume was obtained by mail, and by sending supplies to out- lying customers in these little red, horse-drawn wagons. “The routes of these wagons radi- ated from the stores in the cities like the spokes in a wheel. Each wagon would start off loaded, deliv- ering the tea and coffee ordered a week before, taking the orders for the week after from the housewives along the route. These early A&P wagon routes, of course, had to struggle through knee-deep mud and snow, ford streams; fight their way through. But they were welcome when they arrived, for they not only brought these groceries at low prices, which was an innovation in those days, but also news of the outside world and gossip of the tem of food distribution,” declared ’ Moses Found by Pharaoh’s Daughter.— When Moses was born his mother hid him three months, evading Pha- raoh’s command that the Hebrew male babies were to be cast into the river. “And when she could not longer ~ hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and put the child therein; and she laid it by the river's brink. And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him. And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to ~ wash herself at the river; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent one of her maidens to fetch it. And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had eompassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children. Then saith his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee? And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto And the maid went and called the child’s mother. And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.”—Ex. 2: 3-10.

Many of these pieces are stilk prized possessions of their owners. “The idea was quite successful. 1 remember that in 1896 when Uncle Sam established the rural free de- livery, we used to say he was copy- ing our system of ‘rural food de- livery’ for we had 1,500 wagons at that time. Gave Way to Present System “People began to ask these wag- ons to carry other foods. Soon the lists of foods that customers wanted were greater than any wagon could carry, even with the improved roads that were being built at the end of the first decade of this century. “But by this time other means of transportation had developed. Cities had grown, and the wagon routes had built up trade to the point where it was possible to open little grocery stores in almost every town, in fact in almost every neighborhood. “But for.a long time after that the horse-drawn truck with its beautiful Percheron beasts was more econom- ical than the motor truck for city deliveries, long after the auto be- came a practical vehicle for trans- portation. “When the first funny-looking horseless carriages passed my store, I had no more idea than anybody else that 1 would live to see ridicu- lous gasoline buggies make the world an entirely different place to live in,” Mr. Patten concluded. “In a way I was sorry to see those hundreds of fine horses we used to have go, but 1 suppose they would be uneconomi- cal in the world now.” ee | Organize New Luther League At Noxen Seventy young persons from Noxen, Shavertown, and Laketon organized a new Luther League at Noxen on Fri- day night under jurisdiction Northeast District. of the Rev.
