. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL Right Livirfg People Know That They Live in a. Society as Living Parts of Society Then arose a practical question between them. They needed some- one to go with them as an assistant iri many ways. Barnabas wanted to take with them his young cousin John Mark, who had started with them on their first tour, but on reaching the coast of Asia Minor where their main work was to be done, for some reason left the missionaries, and re- ti1rned home. How much the dangers of a wild almost unknown country, how much the malarial sickness on the coast which may have attacked and weakened the young man, had to do with his return we do not know. Barnabas had good reasons for wanting to take his cousin with him. The young man wanted to go. Doubtless he was sorry that he left the missionary company three or four years before, especially when at Jerusalem he heard the glowing accounts of their success, and was fired with new missionary zeal. He wanted to redeem his character and life. Barnabas 1'eal- zzed the possibilities in John Mark. He loved him. He believed in him. He wanted to give the young man another chance, and The significance' of religion changes according to the need of the age and the moral progress of the world. Once the emphasis was upon philosophical forms; upon statements as to the Deity or as to human destiny} later it shifted to forms of religious organizations. In our own day it became moral and ethical, insisting that religion is valueless unless is produces virtu- ous lives, demanding character as the proof of creed. But now, even the ethical empha- sis has a changed signihcanee; it Its more than a matter of personal Uprightness; it is one of social rightness. The virtues of the ideal man to-day are quite different from those of the good Ilan of the past, who could walk his solitary path of rectitude, whose righteousness was between his soul and God alone. He should visit his spiritual chil- dren to see how they were growing invaee. He would look at the tender vines in the vineyard he had planted to see what further care was required. These churches, so bar separated from others, having received but a small portion of the truths of the gospel, exposed to temptations, to errors, and to dangers, had no small need of apostolic care and training. Lesson I. Paul‘s Second Mission- ary Journey. Golden Text, Acts 16: 9. . 1. Planning for the Second Mis- sionary Campaign.-hets 15: 36-39. The lesson for to-day connects with the eighth lesson of our last quarter, which describes the epoch making" gathering at Jerusalem to settle the disputed questions concerning the reception of the Gentiles into the church wrch th, Jews. But the missionary spirit burned within them and 'Paul proposed to Barnabas that they return to their mission field which needed them more than the home city where were many preachers and teachers. "This commandment have we from him that-he who loveth God lr ve his brother a1so."---1. John v. 21. ’ ' go Just as psychology knows no in- dividual, so does religion, for none of us liveth to himself. Men come to a social realization of themselves. The study solitude gives place to the human fellowship, the brooding over personal faults and the lonely struggle for individual perfection passes and its high passion is sat- isfied in banding ourselves with our fellows for the Fo? some time after that Paul and Barnabas, the returned mis- sionariey, preached the word of the Lord in the home church at Antioch which had sent them forth. There is one voice to which every free soul responds to-day; it is that which insists on the claim of all the lives about us on our own lives, the sense of common responsibility. Al) who live in any large sense, who lift up the eyes and know the world as it is, know that they live in a sogiety sa:s.liviryr parts of society. Such living involves religious ob- ligations. It means that the high- er life must flnd expression through these relations to all other lives. Social living means the death of sel- fishness, of the old soul dwarfing individuality. It takes the I from the old time throne and sets the All there. Barnabas was quite willing to Faith nowhere finds finer expres- SALVATION OF THE WORLD INTERNATIONAL LESSON, JULY 4.

Piety need never fear that it will suffer from too great practical mindedness of this type. The Peo- ple who warn us of the danger of the spiritual life decaying in our interest in social welfare are USU- ally those who dread the necessity of making practical proof of their professions of religion, of express- ing their spirituality in any service- able manner. III. The Beginnings of Chris- tianity in Europe.-Vs. 11-15. The four missionaries immediately sail from Troas in a straight course, 60 m-es to the island of Sarqothracia, the first day. The next day they sailed 75 miles to Neapolis (New City, Naples), the seaport of Philippi. Everything was favor- able, for they made in two or three days a journey which took Paul at another time five days (Acts 20: 6). Thence ten miles, by land or by the river, to Philippi. Philippi was named after Kin Philip of Macedon. It is (33,1165 (v. 12) the chief city of that part ot Macedonia. the first in rank, and a colonv, that is a Roman, colony, under the emperor, and not the senate. Tnere was only one solution of the trouble, and that was to part as friends, and make two mission, ary companies instead of one. II. haw Work in Old Fields.-- Acts 15: 40; 16: I-IO. Barnabas and Mark went to Cyprus where the family of Barnabas belonged (Acts 4: M), and where he went with Paul on the first missionary journey (Acts 13: 4-12). Barnabas is not mentioned again in the Acts, for he did not come again within the plan of that history; but "the choir irr. visible" on earth is heard in heaven and the records of the faithful are written in the Book of Life. Mark is mentioned again through his connection with Paul. The Companions of Paul. Paul chose Silas as his companion in the place of Barnabas. Silas (a contraction of the Silvanus of the Epistles) was one of the leaders of the mother church at Jerusalem. He came to Antioch with Paul as their delegate after the great con- ference (Acts 15: 22). Like Paul, he was a Roman citizen (Rendall), and was in thorough sympathy with him. Paul on the other hand was will- ing to take the risk of having as his assistant tl you\ng man who had failed him in one of the great crises of his life; and had not yet proved himself able to undertake such a dangerous journey as was now be- fore them from which he had re- coiled three or four years before. Paul was apparently in not very firm health, and it was absolutely necessary to have a perfectly re- Gable helper. Both Barnabas and Paul were right, and therefore each one stooi stgadfastly by his own judgment. If only for a while we might learn this way of living, the way shown by the life that gave itself in service for all lives; if only we might see life as just the chance To. love and help, and religion as the eternal spirit in us seeking the highest. good for all, the wonder would be not so much in the good that would come to us all as in the new joy and fullness in living we ourselves would find. The social interpretation of re- ligion do not mean the adoption of any particular theory of society; they do mean living the life that is ours as CHILDREN OF THE INFINITE in full eonsciousness of all other lives, in relations of love and ser- vice toward them, in recognition of all their rights, in the joy of liv- ins with others and loving thtm, The creeds of religion may lie be, yond our comprehension; its forms may seem meaningless to us and its emotional expressions repellent, but here is a form of religion that all may understand and practice; here are religious acts that all may do; they lie nekt to us in daily liv- ing, simple, usually easy done and yet far reaching in their potency. The mystery of the love of the Most High will solve itself as a man gives himself to the loving service of his brother man. - not mar his whole career because of one youthful mistake. And the future proved that Barnabas was right in his judgment. Paul him, self in later years found that Mark had developed into a man of great heart, self-forgetful and courage- ous, whom he could love and trust and respect. In his two imprison- ments St. Paul mentions Mark in terms of high approval (Col. 4: 10, 11; Philemon 24; 2 Tim. 4: II). HENRY F.

A despatch from Montreal says: Sixteen trimmers at work on the steamer Lake Manitoba were buried under 16,000 bushels of wheat on Wednesday night, and narrowly es- caped death, In fact, their escape from death is little less than mira- culous, as they lay for four hours on top of heaps of wheat under the decks. They escaped suffoeation by taking turns at breathing under the narrow ventilator pipes. The sixteen men were spreading grain business.

The gang of trimmers worked heroi- cally, but when they were compell- ed to stoop under the deck the task got beyond their control. The hold was filled to the brim, and the six- teen men were away under the deck, unable to fight their way to the stopped-up exit, which was the only hope of escape. For some rea- son the grain kept coming in until the men were prisoners. It was only after hours of imprisonme t that their fellow-workers missed them and dug them out. All the men returned to work on Thursday.
