The t* administration feels there is al ' I sharp line to be drawn between the I i 1 number of unemployed and the number which will be in want, i | Only about half of those unemploy- ■ ed last winter were regarded as reJ I lief problems. There are about 17 1 : bread winners to every 10 families - according to administration stat s-i 81 tics. Many of those listed as unemployed last winter were only s temporarily out of work due to i ? seasonal conditions. Many were I I given employment on farms this' summer, others on road building ■ and public works, others in handl i ing crops, so that a large number I I |of then unemployed, it is estimated. ' r have had some income since last , • i winter. It is also stated that there .i is a constant unemployment of i about 1,500.000 men even in pros- | perous times due to the constant I shifts in employment — men and . ; women who are out of work for a week or two while moving from one t job to another. I I Furthermore, it is emphasized ' I that last winter the country had to • - take care of the victims of the 1930 drought, a problem that will be non- ■ j existent this year. In the light >of these consider- ■ ations, administration officials feel r I justified in emphasizing their view that some persons are showing undue alarm and contributing to genI eral public fears which are unwar»l ranted. .

When Paul and Barnabas were preaching in | Iconium, they found many converts, but the Jews who refused to accept their teachings were bitter agi nst them. Finally, a mob was formed. Armed vi h clubs and stones, the crowd marched to the house where the two evangeliists were living, threatening them with violence. However, the pair managed to escape and hastened on to Lystra in Lycnonia.

Once again, the two renewed their preaching of the gospel. One day, as they passed along, they came upon a beggar who had been crippled from birth. Gazing upon him, Paul cried in a loud voice: "Stand upright on thy feet!’’ At these words, the cripple leaped from the stones and walked. Those who witnessed the miracle were impressed. “The gods are come down to us in the likeness of n en,” they declared.

How did Paul escape? 10. Where did they go tlitr ’ ANSWERS 1. Paul and Barnabas went to Iconium, where they were welcomed at first. They remained there for some time, preaching and making converts. 2. Once again, the Jew’s who opposed the teachings gathered a mob and started for the house where Paul and Barnabas were [ staying. w They were armed wilh stones and clubs, arid were pre- ' pared to take vengeance upon the i two. But the pair escaped them . i and left the city. . 3 Paul ami Barnabas fled five ! leagues to the southeast and took I refuge in the little town of Lystra | in Lycaonia. It was a semi-barbar-ous country with few Jews, an exI cellent field for their work. 4. At Lystra. the nair came nnnn a man who had liaen cripnled from the day of his birth. Paul saw that he had faith and was willing to believe. He commanded the crirple to rise and walk, which ho did. 5. The miracle was received with tremendous enthusiasm? 1 The crowd believed Barnabas to be Jupiter and Paul to be Mercury; and the priest of Jupiter prepared to sacrifice to them. I fi.

So they called Barnabas, Jupiter, and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker. The priest of Jupiter brought oxen and garlands and prepared to sacrifice to them. Paul and Barnabas were greatly disturbed when this occurred. “We are men of like passions with you,’’ they der’ared. "We bring you good tidings that you should turn from vain,things to a living God.”

With much effort, they induced the crowds not to sacrifice to them. But it happened that the city was filled with many Jews from Antioch and Iconium. These, as before, were hostile, and Went about stirring up feeling against the evangelUtsAgain a mob formed, but this time Paul was seized and dragged without the city, where he was Ltoned and left for dead. However, he surv[yed and the next day went on to Derbe.

Fulsome Praise By Harlowe R. Hoyt When Paul and Barnabas healed the cripple in Lystra, they were hailed as gods by the credulous people. Twice in the legends of I this country Jupiter and Mercury | had come to visit them. So, when i they beheld the miracle of a man I unable to walk throughout life I suddenly leaping to his feet qty-i ; being made whole, little wonder I that even the priest of Jupiter I came to offer sacrifice to one he I believed more than human. Honestly enough. Paul and Barnabas disclaimed any the godI like powers attributed to them. But it was only with the greatest difficulty that they finally induced their admirers to accept them for what they were—disciples of Jes>’s Christ, preaching his word ami attempting to establish his religion to make the world a better place to live in. Overpraise is common in everyday life. We are inclined to it I when some noteworthy event takes | place, but only too often, like a i flame, it burns itself out from the I very intensity of its passion and j leaves only ashes. Then camos the reaction. The person is forgotten. Let us bestow praise where it is deserved. But let us be wise and I chary in bestowing it. Overpraise | is harmful not only in that it estabI lishes a false standard but in that it really damages the person who is olfiiged to submit to it. With the swing of the pendulum, they j lose. How much saner and more helpful it is to temper praise criticism. None of us is perf»*H, , and constructive criticism is the I greatest help in character building i if only it is accepted in the spirit i with which it is given. I Be iwise in your praise.
