"AS MUCH TO BLAME AS HE" !
fv A young girl came home in angerj
|f; ,' one day and told her parents that a I
young man on the street had spoken |
to her in a disrespectful way. Her
/. mother was as much angered as the
girl when she heard the story, and
both thought that the father shculd
take the matter up.
But the father said, "'Daughter,
you are not an immoral girl; but let'

TURNING TO THE GENTILES j
Acts xii, 42-52; Romans i, 14-16 j
Genuinely good people can have a |,
difference of opinion. An argument jj
that will always remain a part or* his-j
tory occurred over John Mark at?
Perga in Pamphylia. At that point itj
became necessary for Paul and Barn-}
abas to proceed into the interior and
the handy mas1 of the ;cr#iigeiisticf
party declined to go with them. Perilous
times awaited the determined j
evangelists are they went forward on 1
this first missionary journey.
Many Jewish settlements had been j
made in Asia Minor owing to a ays-tem
of colonization developed by An-!
tiochus Epiphanes. A synagogue was
easily found in Antioch of Pisidia.1
There were no less than ten Anti- j
ochs founded by Selucus Xikatov and;
named after his father Antiochus. We 1
need distinguish only between those!
in Pisidia and syria. Marked atten-j
tion was given to the address of Paul *
on that first Sabbath. Many begged
that the visitors tarry with them and

A BOY
Nobody knows what a boy is worth.
A boy a I his work cr play,
A hoy who whistles around the plate
Or laughs in an artUss way.
Nobody knows what a boy is worth,
And the world must wait to see.
For every man .n ah honored place
Is a boy that vised'to-bo.
\ M :.r
Nobody knows what a bt.y is worth,
A b->\ with his face aglow,
For hid in his heart there are secrets

Not evfeiV the wisest know.
Nobody knows what a boy is worth,
A boy with his bare, white feet;
So have a smile and kindly word.
For every bov you meet.
