THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time--Lydia appears in the New Testament record in Paul's second misssionary journey, 49 or 50 A.D.; Priseilla first appears in the same missionary journey, hut about two years later. The Epistle to the Romans was written A.D. 60. Place--Lydia, though of Thyatira, appears in the New Testament S.-rivstures at Philippi, the great city of Macedonia in Europe. Priseilla is found variously at Corinth, Ephes-us, and at Rome. "Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course." Th's is a nautical term for sailing before the wind, and occurs only ence again in the New Testament (Acts 21 : 1). "To Samothrace." An island in the Egean Sea off the const of Thrace colonized by a man of Samos. "And the day following to Neapolis." The seaport for the city of Philippi from which it was about ten miles distant. Paul and his companions apparently did not tarry here. "And from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a Roman colony." Philippi was originally named Datum, but was renamed Philippi by Philip of Macedon after himself. 1 "And we were in this city tarrying certain days." Paul arrived in Philippi about twenty years after the foundation of the church at the church at Jerusalem after the Pentecostal effusion. "And on the Sabbath day we went focth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer." The Jews had &m<l°Vk>"\W;?g flL"fflflwktfV'have synagogues, where they were few in number. These were enclosures open to the sky, and usually near a river or on the seashore for the ceremonial washings. "And we sat down, and spake unto the women that were come together." It is evident that the women of Philippi occupied a position of considerable freedom and social influence. "And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple." Strictly speaking, she was probably a seller of purple cloth, rather than the dey itself. "Of the city of Thyatira." A wealthy town in the northern part of Lydia of the Roman province Asia on the river Lycus. "One that worshipped God, hear us." The use of the Greek imperfect, meaning, in effect, she was in the habit of hearing him, would lead us to suppose that the Apostle repeated his visits on several Sabbaths. "Whose heart the Lord opened to give heed unto 13 the things Paul." Paul's preaching could not effect her regeneration. The external call never accomplishes that, unless the internal call to repentance precedes, and unless it accompanies the Word. "And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying. If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide there. And she constrained us." The Greek word here translated constrained occurs in only one other place, and that, most significantly, about the journey of the disciples to Emmaus (Luke 24 : 29). fc "After these things he departed from Athens, and came to Corinth." A distance of about forty miles. Corinth, located in the center of what is now known as Greece on the famous isthmus of Corinth, and, in the days of the Apostle Paul, the capital of the Roman province Achaia, was the center of government and commerce for Greece and the fourth largest city in the Roman "And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race." Pontus was an important province in the northeastern part of Asia Minor, lying along the southern shore of the Black Sea. "Lately come from Italy, with his wife Priseilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome." Priseilla, apparently, was not a Jew, and many scholars believe that her name would indicate she was a member of an important, even noble Roman family. Now Aquila, the Jew from Pontus, ever came to know and to fall- in love with this Soman lady is a love story that taxes our imagination. Possibly the two wer'. thrown together by similar religious experiences or hopes, though of this we have no knowledge. "And he came unto them; 3. and. because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and they wrought; for by their trade they were tent-makers." It is often said that Paul, together with these newly (found friends wove the rough goat-hair cloth out of which tents were made, but that is not the word here, and it is most probable that their occupation was that of making up the material already woven, cutting out and stitching the tents themselves. "Now a certain Jew named Apol-qlienf'maSi, came io Ephesus'; and he was mighty in the scriptures." From Antioch, Priseilla and Aquila had accompanied Paul to Ephesus where thep5 were left, no doubt, to engage in evangelistic work in that great Greek city. To Ephesus now comes one of the most remarkable of the minor characters of the New Testament, Apollos. "This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John." He had been instructed in Messianic prophecy and purpose. In obedience to John, he had been baptized unto repentance and to expectation of the coming of the Messiah, but he did not know the meaning of the cross. '.'And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priseilla and Aquila heard him, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more accurate-vould have been no easy Make A Matching Set of Guest Towels Suggests Laura Wheeler APPLIQUE GUEST TOWELS PATTERN 99L( Harmony--what an important part of our home decoration it is today!

TH "And when he was minded to pass" over into Achaia, the brethren encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him : and when he was come, he helped them much that had believed through grace."

In recording the bird records, the expedition met with a variety of technical difficulties. One of these, recounted in the news report of its return, was how to record the sound of the water ouzel which lives only-near water falls. The problem was finally solved by getting the microphone within two inches of the bird's beak so that the sound was clear and distinct from the crash of irby. Deer Country I.

Sketch Club ffi PICTORIAL SPACE CUTTING LESSON NO. 69 Fig. No. 225 is an outline layout for a landscape sketch. Proceed as taught in previous lessons, sketch a rectangle the size and shape that you intend the picture to be. Then divide the top and the side into five equal parts as in fig. 222, sketch in the divisional lines in order to find the Visional center. We 1 pla< trge t upper left of our picture. It is necessary to find the ground line or the position of where the tree enters the ground. In order to find this position, we divide the distance from our horizontal "2 line" to the bsttom of the frame-line into five equal parts and establish its "2 line", this is the place for the bottom of the tree, fig. 222. Now we need to find the width ot the tree before we can outline the shape of the tree. Decide in your mind how thick you want the tree t0 be, mark this on the sketch, and then measure two equal spaces to ing the same proces set forth, we have only to divide new or remaining spaces by the 2-11 ratio. Fig. 224 demonstrates how to Io-: cate the position and the size or. the house. Note that the top of the house divides the spac^ between the upper ground-line and .he end of the j house and the top fran e-line into 2-3 and the end of the house on the: ground-line divides the space between the two trees into 2-8.

With a litCe inventiveness and by following the above simple < or n 1A 0,0.4* the left of the Vertical "2 line" and three equal 'spaces to the right, see fig. 223. You may now outline the shape of the tree. For variety we suggest that you add in your composition a few smaller trees, keep in mind your 2-3 ratio of measurement in order that all three and 225. Proceed is before in regard to the finding of the thickness of these additional trees. Remember that the "2 line" is always the division of an area in the ratio of 2 to 3, and that the spaces between the sides of the tree-trunk and the frame-lines must be regarded as new areas and treated in the same way as the rectangle. If you have followed the instructions as taught in these lessons, the proportions as to the positions of the trees will be all that could be desired; but, we must also introduce Variety and greater interest by adding other elements. A house or barn ould be a splendid addition to our composition. here is the ideal spot? By us- no trouble or confusion in adding or placing other elements into your composition. You may calculate mathematically own satisfaction that the proportions arrived at by this simple procedure are harmoniously related.
