LESSON TEXT.—Acta 17:16-34. Mem-
ory vrrae 29
GOLDEN TEXT.—"Ood la a aplrlt; and
they that worship him muat worship him
In aplrlt and truth."
TIME.—A. D. 51.
PLACE.—Athena, the capital of Greece
and one of tho moBt renowned and In-
fluential clUea In the history of the world.
Suggestion and Practical Thought.
1. Athens In St. Paul's day. Driven
from Berea, as we learned In our last
lesson, Paul came to Athens In Greece.
As he walked from the Piraeus, where
he landed, along the new road to the
city, he saw raised at Intervals altar-
to the unknown gods.
As the city of Athens came into his
view bis soul must have been filled
with the deepest emotions. He had
seen Jerusalem, the most influential
city in the world for religion; he
longed to go to Rome, which *tood
above all others in power, in law, in
Imperial sway, the capital of the
world; but now he was to gaze upon
the city which then stood and still
stands enthroned above all others for
intellectual supremacy, for literature,
art, architecture and philosophy.
2. Paul Begins his Work in Athens.
—Vs. 16-21. "While Paul waited'' for
Silas and Timothy to come from Be-
rea before proceeding farther, or be-
ginning special work in a new and
peculiar field, "his spirit was stirred
In him," urged on as with a sharp goad
to give the Gospel to a "city wholly
given to idolatry." His work was with
four classes of persons. The Jews,
devout persons, epicurean philos-
ophers and stoics. These met Paul in
debate.
3. Paul's Address Before the Uni-
versity of Athens.—Vs. 22-31. The
Athenians were proud of their city
and could be called by no higher title.
A Wisely Chosen Text. 23. "As 1
.passed by" along the streets and ave-
nues of the city, "and beheld your de-
votions," not acts of worship, but ob-
jects of worship—idols, altars, tem-
ples, "I found an altar with this in-
scription," to the unknown god, or an
unknown god.
1. God the Creator of Heaven and
Earth. 24. Not an idol to be Been and
bandied, not a being in human shape,
not shut up to dwell "in temples made
with hands."
2. His worship therefore must be
spiritual. 25. "Neither is worshiped
with men'B hands," presenting to idols
costly offerings, and food and drink.
God wants not help, but love.
3. One God and All Men Brethren.
26. "Made of one blood," all races,
kinds, and degrees are from God, and
therefore are brethren.
4. His Desire Is That All Should
Find Him. 27. "If haply they might
feel after him and find him."
5. For We Are His Children. 28.
"For in him we live, and move, and
have our being." This is true both of
our natural and of our spiritual life.
6. Therefore God Is a Spirit. 29.
Therefore "we ought not to think that
the Godhead is like unto gold," etc.
The human soul with its vast powers
must have an author and father great-
er than itself, of the nature of spir-
it, but infinitely greater than our spir-
its.
7. If God Is Our Father We Should
Be Children Worthy of Him. 30. "The
times of this Ignorance God winked
at," overlooked, did not punish with
the severity that falls upon willful sin
against light and knowledge. "But
now." Since Christ has come with new
light, new motives, a new message
from God. "Commandeth all mon
everywhere to repent." To turn from
their sins, and live as children of a
holy God should live.
8. New Motives. 31. (1) God "will
judge the world in righteousness."
Every decision will be right, correct,
loving. God will judge men according
to character and life, the test being
whether they have done right or
wrong; not their wealth or position
or rank or genius. (2) The great mo-
tives were embodied in Jesus Christ
"whom he hath ordained" to be the
Saviour of men, the test of obedience,
the way and the truth and the life
(3) "Hath given assurance," that he,
Jesus, is the judge, the Saviour, the
everlivlng King. "In that he hath
raiBed him from the dead."
It is probable that Paul's address
was cut short here before he had fin-
ished what he wished to say.
4. The Effects Produced by Paul's
Address. — Vs. 32-34. 1. 32. "Some
mocked." * The teaching seemed ab-
surd to them.
2. Some refused to decide. "We
will hear thee agahi." Like Felix,
they would wait for a more convenient
season. They could endure almost
any strange theories, but when it came
to giving up their sins, and to a
change of life, they rebelled.
3. A few accepted the truth, re-
peated, and became disciples of Jesus.

Is a member of the learned council
before whom Paul had preached
Damarls.
MARK TWAIN'S LITTLE JOKE.
Possibly Chief Justice Fuller Will Not
Be Pleased at Sentiment Ex-
pressed in His Name.
Mark Twain was waiting for a
street car in Roston, when a young
girl approached him, smiling. She
was a lovely girl, fresh, blooming, in
genuous, bubbling with enthusiasm,
and evidently on her way home from
school.
"Pardon me," she said. "I know It's
very unconventional, but I (nay never
have another chance. Would you mind
giving me your autograph?"
"Olad to do It, my dear child," said
Mr. Clemens, drawing out his foun
tain pen.
"Oh, its so good of you," gurgled
the girl. "You know, I've never seen
you but once, Chief Justice Fuller
and that was at a distance; but I've
Been your portrait so often that I rec-
ognized you the moment I saw you
here."
"Um—m—m—mm!" said Mr. Clem-
ens, non-committally. Then he took
from her eager hands her nice little
autograph albumn, and wrote in bold
acrlpt these words:
It Is delicious to be full.
But it is heavenly to be Fuller.
I am cordially yours,
melville w. fuller.
Mr. Clemens has not heard from
Chief Justice Fuller yet.—Harper's
Weekly.
THAT FROZE HIM.
"I Buppose," he said, ingratiatingly,
"you often get spoken to by men?"
"Yes," she replied, "and by monk-
eys. But to-night there don't seem to
be any men about!"
A Gentle Aspersion.
Among the prisoners brought before
a Chicago police magistrate one Mon-
day morning was one, a beggar, whose
face was by no means an unfamiliar
one to the judge.
"I am informed that you have again
been found begging in the public
Etreets," said his Honor, sternly, "and
yet you carried in your pocket over
ten dollars in currency."
"Yes, your Honor," proudly returned
the mendicant. "I may not be as indus-
trious as some, but sir, I am no spend-
thrift."—Harper's Weekly.
Laymen Combat White Plague.
According to recent figures pub-
lished by the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis, nearly 50 per cent, of
those enlisted in the active campaign
against consumption are laymen, and
the percentage of laymen has tripled
in the last four years.

Baltimore, Md. — "For four years
my life was a misery to mo. I suffered
from irregulari-
ties, terrible drag,
ging sensations,
extreme nervous-
ness, and that all
gone feeling in my
stomach. I had
given up hope of
ever being well
when I began to
take Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable
Compound. Then
I felt as though
new life had been
flven me, and I am recommending it
o all my friends."—Mrs. W. 8. Ford,
