members of the
Covenant - First
Presbyte rian
Church who,
though no longer
in the District,
still remain an
integral part of
the class.
The continued
interest of the
approximately 50
servicemen, serv
icewomen and
civilians in a
class they can
no longer attend c. c. Hau.
is a tribute to the imagination and
personality of Teacher Charles C.
Haig of the Bureau of Internal
Revenue. Mr. Haig sends mim
eographed sheets of his lessons to
each member of "The Invisible
Class” in addition to a four-page
folder outlining the course of studies
for each three-month study period.
Letters go back and forth between
the teacher and his pupils and to
all intents and purposes the "in
visible students” sit with the others
at each Sunday class period.
Meticulous as Mr. Haig is in writ
ing his lessons, he told The Evening
Star reporter he does not use the
written notes in his class lectures.
“A lecture loses spontaneity and
sparkle when it is read,” he re
marked. “Since I am teaching a
mixed group of young people I try
to bring them Illustrations from the
life of young people. It seems to
have worked fairly well.”
Charles H. Dreyer, president of
the class, said the last observation
was a strong bit of understatement.
"Mr. Haig has won the hearts of all
his students. He shares in the joys
of all his young friends, and he is
first to offer help to those in dis
tress. His teaching, showing so
fully his many hours of prepara
tion. is so clear and understandable
as to resolve all doubts as to the
meaning of each Sunday's lesson.”
Mr. Haig joined the Covenant
First Presbyterian Church on com
ing to the District in 1917. Since
then he has served as secretary and
superintendent of~ the Sunday
school. In 1930, feeling there was
a need for a place for young folks
to go on Sunday mornings, Mr.
Haig gave up his superintendent’s
work to form the class. Members
of that original group, many of
them now scattered throughout the
country, still correspond with him.
Mr. Haig, a native of Philadel
phia and a graduate of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, is an ac
countant with the Bureau of Inter
nal Revenue, a position he has
held since 1919. His wife, the for
mer Alice B. Balaguer, of Charles
ton, S. C„ was recently elected
treasurer general of the National
Society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution. His daugh
ter, Mrs. Richard Green, is em
ployed by the War Department. Mr.
and Mrs. Haig live at 207 Wilson
lane, Bethesda, Md.

A Lesson
For the Week
Bv WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
Neglected by dispatches because
enemy occupied, Salonica—the an
cient Thessalonica—is a strategic
center of the war in the East. The
Greeks fought
valiantly there
against the Ger
mans and the
Italians, and the
old city still
awaits deliver
ance.
Even as it was
in Pauls day
the great port
is a place of
central signifi
cance. It is per
haps the best
harbor in
Greece, the ter
minus of rail- w. t. eiii«.
road lines and the historic approach
to the Vardar Valley, up which the
invasion of the Balkans must go
I wonder if the famous White Tower
is still standing on the bund?
Thessalonica was so named after
the sister of Alexander the Great,
so its antiquity is manifest. The
mental and spiritual alertness man
ifested during Paul’s visit still sur
vives. When it was a Turkish pos
sesion the metropolis was a revolu
tionary center and the home of the
young Turks. New Turkey was bom
there.
A Curious Secret Sect.
One curious fact about Salonika
is the persistence there, after hun
dreds of years, of the Jewish sect
of Dunmehs, a secret religion
which grew from acceptance of the
claims of the Messiah of Ismir.
When I was last there the Dun
hems were said to keep a man with
a lighted lantern patrolling the wa
ter front looking for the roturning
Messiah.
The messianic hope of Salonica
is nothing new. In his first letter
to the Thessalonians, which we
study today, Paul stressed heavily
the theme of the return of Christ.
The letter makes clear that the
apostle expected Jesus to come
again within the life-time of the
Christians then living. He was mis
taken, as have been all the myriads
since who have set a time for the
Second Coming.
On a hill outside of Salonica
stands an American mission college,
carrying on until stopped by the
war, the work begun by Paul. Dr.
House’s famous agricultural mission
is also there, a notable station of
the American Board. During the
1919 armistice there I rescued from
jail three American missionaries
who had been arrested by stupid and
suspicious authorities. Later, the
government sent over a cabinet min
ister, and then the King himself, to
apoligize.
Trouble, Trouble Everywhere.
Chased out of Philippi and Berea
by Jewish enemies and the mobs
they aroused. Paul and Silas came
to Thessalonica, ■where they began
their evangelising work as usual,
Paul's message in this Greek city
was the same that it had been else
where—the life and death and res
urrection of Jesus Christ, the Mes
siah-Saviour. What a Christ-cen
tered man was Paul! To him, in
fullest sense, to live was Christ. All
'he persecutions and hardships he
