Timothy’s Parentage (Acts 16:1). His father was a Greek and his mother a believing Jewess. On Ids 1 mother’s side at least, lie had a godly ancestry. Usually the mother makes the son. Two generations of maternal pious grandmothers were back of Timothy. How thankful we ought to be to God for a godly ancestry. Christian heredity and training constitute the essential elements for a Christian life. 11. Timothy’s Training (II Tim. 1:5; II Tim. 3:14-15). His wise and faithful mother and grandmother carefully nurtured him in Gods Word. He knew the Scriptures from his childhood through their training. The faith which came to 1 him from his grandmother through his mother did not come through the laws of heredity, but through careful training and teaching. Grace is not rea- ' soned by the laws of heredity. The factors involved in his training were godly ancestors, a Christian home, and a diligent study of the Scriptures. ill. Timothy’s Call (Acts 16:1-3). While on Paul’s second missionary Journey in company with Silas, Tim- i othy was found at Lystra near Derbe. Perhaps he had been converted on Paul’s first missionary journey, but hearing a favorable report of him by Hie brethren, Paul took and circutu- 1 cised li m so as not to offend the Jews, because his father was a Greek, i This was not contrary to the decision of the Jerusalem council. It was a case where conciliation could be made without compromise of truth. From this time to the end of Paul’s life, he 1 and Timothy were boon companions. J They were as a loving father and a i dutiful son. IV. Timothy’s Character Reticent. 1. Os a Retiring Disposition. II Tim. 1 :G. Timothy had received a gift I from God at the hands of. the apostle. . but it needed to be stirred up, that is, , fanned into a flame. Such a temperament would mature in touch with a great personality like Paul. It is highly important that everyone store up the gift which God lias given unto him. 2. Courageous, 11 Timothy 2:1-8. Having been stirred up. he was freed from the spirit of fear and deliberately | identified himself with i’aul in ids , j sufferings and trial. Courage is greatily needed in doing the Lord’s work. | 3. Faithful. He tarried in the diffi- i cult field of Ephesus through many ! years. He was the only man of the needed fidelity to minister to the I’hil- | ipplans. (I’hilippians 2:20). The secret of his faithfulness in such a posi- ! tion was his fidelity to the Word of God. V. Timothy's Ministry. 1. As a fellow-missionary with Paul. (Phil. 2:22). 2. As pastor of a church at Ephesus. Here he labored for many years tactfully meeting the difficulties of that great church. The Christian minister should believe in the Scriptures as God’s Word and be able to rightly di- , vide It so as to meet the needs of those who hear him. This is the only way to meet the difficulties that arise 1 in the pastor s labors. All Due to Christianity. | We live in the midst of blessings, till we are utterly insensible of their greatness, and of the source from I which they flow. We speak of our civilization, our arts, our freedom, our laws, and forget entirely how large a i i share of all is due to Christianity, i Blot Christianity out of the page of man’s history, and what would Ills , laws have been?—what his clviliza- . tion? Christianity is mixed up with our very being and our dally life; , there is not a familiar object round ' us which does not wear its mark, not 1 a being or a thing which does not i wear a different aspect, because the j | light of Christian hope is on it, not a law which does not owe its truth ■, and gentleness to Christianity, not a . custom which cannot be traced, in all Its holy and healthful parts, to the Gospel. Responsibilities. Responsibilities gravitate to the person who can shoulder them and power flows to the man who knows how. —Hubbard. Avoid Making Enemies.

Five Train Robbers In Mexico To Suffer Supreme Penalty. l Mexico City. Mex., Sept. 20 — (By mail to United Press.)—Five of the band of bandits who robbed the Daredo train October 22, 1921, have been condemned to death. Their sentences are being reviewed and unless a reprieve is granted, they will face a firing squad. Other members of the band, who are alleged to have taken part in the robbery,'

have boon sentenced to prison ior long terms. The assault on the train which stirred the republic as well as causing an unfavorable impression in the United States, was committed between the stations of Atzacptzalco and Tlalnepanta. The gang boarded the trian at Tacuba, and one member of the gang placed a gun at the breast of the engineer, forcing him to stop the train. hi other members of the gang "covered" the train military escort of one lieutenant and six soldiers. At a signal the bandits who “covered” the officer and soldiers opened I fire, killing all. Then the bandits pilliged the train, escaping with a booty of one hundred and fifty thousand pesos. The next morning a detective happened to pass a house in this city in which he noticed a number of men were busy storing sacks of money. He notified headquarters and, in a raid which followed, the entire gang was captured. A large part of the money stolen i was recovered. About 40.000 pesos still remain unaccounted for. to darkenhair APPLY SAGETEA Look Young! Bring Back Ila Natural Color, Gloss and Attractiveness ; Common garden sage brewed into a ! heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just i a few applications will prove a revela- . tion if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is trou ’ blesome. An easier way is to get a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Surphur i Compound at any drug store all ready ! for use. This is the old-time recipe Improved by tile addition of other ingredients. ■ While wispy, faded hair is not i sinful, we all desire to retain our ■ I youthful appearance and attractive I ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen ■ a sponge or soft brush with it and , draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, a!- ’ ter another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, . soft and luxuriant. —o ’ t- »- J WANT ADS EARN—S «-» S—s WANT ADS EARN—S $
