At a teachers’ meeting discuss the question of order and plan team work in making needed improvements. every teacher on time with adequate preparation of the lesson, provision for substitute teachers, everything in order to start together, a well prepared program deserving attention, making the desk talk and announcements brief and snappy, giving pupils a chance to participate, introducing self-government by classes, expressions of appreciation, etc. will aid in maintaining better order. 2. What is the best mode of discipline in a vacation Bible school?

From Paphos Paul and Barnabas, with their companion Mark, went northward to Perga. Here Mark, for some reason, perhaps because of Lard- , ships, went back. He was ready to I go again when they started on their 1 second journey, but Paul would not 1 give his consent (Acts 15:38-39). Before Paul's death he testified in Mark's favor for he bad found him profitable unto him for the ministry (II Tim. 4:11). From Perga they went to Antioch in Pialdla, and here they entered the synagogue on the Sabbath day. From this We sea that though Paul was sent to the Gentiles, be did ' not depart from the order of beglnI nlng with the Jews. 11. Paul’s First R*cord*d Sermon (vv. 17-4 y. This sermon Is worthy of careful study. In Its analysis we find four parts: 1. Historical (w. 17-23). In this section we see how Paul, in a conciliatory way, led them gradually through a series of changes in which God had dealt graciously with them, finally giving them Jesus, His Son. (1) God chose and exalted the 1 people (v. 17). 1 (2) He delivered them from Egyptian bondage, and led them through the terrible wilderness (w. 17-18). (3) He destroyed the Canaanltlsh nations, giving their lands to the Israelites (v. 19). (4) He gave them judges as their ' deliverers when distressed by sur- , rounding nations (v. 20). 1 (5) After they had selfishly chosen ! a king, He rejected the dynasty of Saul, and chose David, a man after ' His own heart (vv. 21-22). (6) Finally It was God who from David's seed raised op unto Israel a 1 Savior, Jesus. This demanded proof, - khich is given in the next section. 2. Apologetical (vv. 24-37). That this Jesus is the seed of David and therefore the promised Messiah, he proves by three lines of argument: ' (1) The testimony of John the Bap1 tlst (w. 24-25). John disclaimed all power as their deliverer, and pointed to Jesus as such. (2) The prophecies of Scripture were fulfilled in their rejection and crucifixion of Jesus (vv. 26-29). (3) By His resurrection from the dead (w. 80-37). Having proved Jesus to be the seed of David, he proceeds to follow tho 1 doctrinal teachings growing out of such proof. 3. Doctrinal (vv. 38-39). The great doctrine derived from th I* proof Is Justification by faith, the very marrow of the gospel. (1) The ground of justification Is by Jesus. He took our place as a sinner that we might have Bls place as sons (II Oor. 5:21). (2) Who are justified? Those who balleve In Him. (8) From what Is one justified? AU sin*. The one who believes In Jesus ll* freely forgiven. Bls sins are all ■ blotted out. This Is the missionary j message for all times. May we strlva 1 to get our .pupils to believe on Him. | (4) Prartlcal (vv. 40-41). i The application of this sermon was ; -\a warning lest th* judgment spoken of by Habakkuk should full upon them. 111. Th* Effect of th* Sermon (w. 42-52). I 1. Many of the Jew* and proselyte* asked to hear these words again (vv. 42-49). 1 Almost the whole city came to hear ' the Word of God the next Sabbath. This great crowd incited the jealousy of the Jews. . I 2. Open Opposition (w. 50-52). I This jealousy could not long be re ' strained. It broke out In open oppo- , sition. The persecution became so i violent that Paul and Barnabas were expelled from the city. This persecu- , tion was answered by Paul's rejection ' of the Jews and his turning to the ' Gentiles. i 3. The disciples were filled with Joy and the Holy Ghost (v. 52). ■ Jean Paul Richter Said: “The life of Christ concerns Him, who being the holiest among the mighty, and the mightiest among the 1 holy, lifted with His pierced hands empires off their hinges, and turned the stream of centuries out of its channel, and atlll governs the ages.”

HEADS N. E. A. Bl 4! MISS MARY McSKIMMON Brookline, Mass. —Mary McSkimmon, principal of the Pierce school. Brookline. Mass., has been elected president of the National Education association at its recent convention in Indianapolis, Ind., to succeed Jesse H. Newton of Denver. Apparently the men didn't have much of a show, for Miss iMcSkimmon, who drew 507 votes, had as an opponent a Miss Cornelia S. Adair of Norfolk, Va., who received 322 votefs. The N. E. A. convention recently attracted press notice when they refused to discuss, pro or con. on evolution, holding that it was theoretical, and the uncertainty of it liable to cause too much controversy among members of th” association.
