Duke Expresses Fears. “For centuries past landed estates have been handed down from genera tion to generation.” said the duke, addressing his tenants on the occasion of the coming of age of his son Lord Francis Cavendish. “Landlords and tenants have lived on terms of mutual trust and affection. I fear, however, that the state of things Is passing awnv, for with the present weight of taxation and the extremely ofleroufl death duties, the future may become very uncertain for all landed pro prietors. if this Is good for the country. I certainly do not complain "With regard to my own ease.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNTIONL Sunday School 'Lesson' (BY REV. P. B. FITWTER, D. D., Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) lta. Weetern Newspaper Union.! LESSON FOR OCTOBER 2 PAUL IN CORINTH. LESSON TEXT—Act* GOLDEN TEXT—- I determined not to know anything among you. nave Jesua Christ, and him crucified.—l Cor. 2:2. REFERENCE MATERIAL—I Cor. 2:1-6; 4:12; II Co. U:7-9. PRIMARY TOPIC Tentmaking and Teaching. JUNIOR TOPIC —Paul Working and Preaching In Corinth. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Teaching and Tentmaking In Corinth. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Paul In a Commercial Center. The establishment of the church at Corinth is an example of missionary endeavor for all ages. The method employed, which resulted In success then, will result In success now. I. The True Missionary Method (vv. 3-3). Paul came to Corinth a stranger in a strange city. He did not have an advene* agent to do his advertising; neither did ho have his photograph put In the dally p»[>er with sensa tional announcements, upon his arrival In Corinth. He did not have a trained singer with him; neither did he have his'salary guaranteed. His method In gaining a foothold In Corinth was as follows: 1. Finding a home (v. 2). This he found with Aqulla nnd Priscilla, Jew's who were recently expelled from Rome by the cruel edict of Claudius. Being Jews, he found natural affilnlty with them. 2. He tolled for his dally bread (▼. 3). He was of the same cruft with them, being tentmakers. Every child among the Jews was taught some trade by means of which he could guln a livelihood should occa sion require. One of the rabbis said that ho who failed to teach his boy a trade taught him to steal. 11. Preaching in the Synagogue at Corinth (vv. 4-8). 1. Though compelled to toll for a living while getting a foothold in Corinth, he did not lose sight of his main work (v. 4). He reasoned In the synagogue every Sahhuth, persuad ing the Jews und Greeks. 2. Ills activity was Increased when Silas anil Timothy came (v. 5). This resulted from three causes: (1) They brought good news from the church at Thessalonlra (I Thess. 3:6). To hear of the steadfastness of those who had confessed Christ under our ministry puts new vigor Into our labors. (2) They brought pecuniary gifts from the Macedonian churches (Philip. 4:15; II Cor. 11:9). Being relieved from the necessity of toll for a living, they now could devote more time and energy to the preaching of the gospel. (3) Silas und Timothy became assistants to Paul in the work, thereby strength ening his hands so ns to enable him to accentuate his efforts. 3. Paul opposed (v. 0). His In creaseo activity was met with In creased opposition. This cun always be expected. 4. Paul announces his purpose to turn to the Gentiles (v. 0). Because of their blashphemy und opposition he qea«ed to work among the Jews. There Is a time when good Judgment causes one to abandon work where efforts have been fruitless, but It Is difficult to know Just when to do It. 5. He did not go far away (v. 7). He remained sufficiently near that those whose hearts God touched could easily find him. It is likewise true that although Christ Is obliged to de part from the soul that refuses Him entrance, He lingers with yearning love around that heart. 0. His success (v. 8). Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, was con verted. Perhaps the severity of his action In turning away from them moved Crispus to action. 111. Paul's Vision (vv. 9-31). His experiences since coming to Eu rope were very trying. He needed en couragement at this time. It is Just like the Lord to come at the time of the servant’s greatest need. Note the Lord’s words to him: 1. “Be not afraid.” When one is executing the commission of the Lord he need not be afraid. 2. “Speak, und hold not thy peace.” n»> one who has heard the voice of God cannot refnuln from speaking— cannot he still. 3. “I am with thee.” The Lord Is with everyone who faithfully carrier out his commission. 4. “No man shall set on thee to hurt thee." The one sent by the Lord to do u work Is Immune from danger and harm until his work Is done. 5. “I have much people In this city.” It Is most encouraging to know that In the great cities the Lord has His own people and that the one who goes In Ills name shall have fruit for his service. Bible Classes Necessary. Bible classes are as necessary to a healthy parochial life as are any other religious agencies, and the priest who neglects them because they seem to him old-fashioned or connected with the Protestant sectarian system lays himself open to great blame. “Thy word Is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my paths.”—Dean Lamed. The Builder of All Things. Every house is builded of some man; hut he that built all things Is God—Hebrews 3:4. "Let me try your tobacco” Only an unlucky man asks you that. He is either out of tobacco or he isn't satisfied with the tobacco he has picked for himself. To smoke a pipe tobacco that doesn’t suit you to a T is to feel a little irri tated every time you light up. Where you should be taking vour comfort, you feel sore over something: missing. No one is so patient as a pipe amoker. He will smoke one kind of tobacco that doesn’t quite satisfy him until the cows come home, or until some trouble crowds him so that he notices how little comfort he is actual ly getting from his little old pipe. But he hasn’t been happy—dimly he has realized it all the time. And when he asks someone else for a pipeful and finally comes upon the smoking tobacco that is just his—oh me, oh my, but he’s a happy man! Ho now gets out of nls smoking what others get—the solid comfort that tukes the sting out of the alarm dock mornings and helps his nerves to relax at the end of a hard day. It’s because we realize how many smokers are still hunting for the right to bacco that we make it so easy for you to learn if that i s n’t Edgeworth.
