A LETTER ON CHRISTIAN LIVING International Sunday School Ltuon for D*c?nb*r 1. 1946 Golden Text: "Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might" ? Ephesians 6:10. Uuon Taxi: Acts 19:23-30. 36-41; Ephaaian* 6:13-19 Our last lesson concerned Paul's visit to Corinth while on his second missionary journey. He departed from this Grecian city in peace and quite, quite un like his departure from some other cities. From Corinth Paul went to Ephesus, where he stayed for a brief period, and left Aquil la and Priscilla there, while he proceeded to Jerusalem. For some reason, either while at Corinth, or shortly thereafter, Paul had undertaken a vow, to keep which he desired to spend the Passover in Jerusalem. This is why he did not tarry at Ephe-j sus very long. After spending a| little while in Jerusalem, Paulj went to Antioch in Syria, where lived the group of Christians from which he and Barnabas had drawn to embark upon their missionary enterprise. Then at Jerusalem and at Antioch Paul reported the wonderful succcsv ?' LAXATIVE Trfono ia H?i loxotivt lor children wn d#r 12.

It was not very long, however, before Paul s<^t out from Antioc^ on hig third missionary tour. By |way of the Cihcian gates and Tarsus he revisited the churches lestablished in Galatia and Phry jgia on h<s first tour, thus keep ling in touch with his converts and [friends in these regions. Then he I headed westward to Ephesus, making in this city his longest stay, for he continued there a space of three years. Ephesus was a great comrr.ar-i cial center at the time and a city | of importance. Here was located! the Temple of Diana, recognizedj as one of the seven wonder of the ancient world. It was constructed! of white marble, measuring 342 by 163 feet, and having one hundred columns over fifty-five) feet high, each. the gift of a king. Ephesus became renowned in' early Christians circles and ac cording to tradition was the burial place of the apostle John, the author Luke and Timothy. Paul began his work in Ephe sus. as in other cities, with an |effort to carry his message to the people of his own race. For three months, Paul preached in the synagogue of Ephesus con cerning the Kingdom of God. contrasting the purity reason and holiness of this ideal state with the licentiousness, superstmon and wrong of heathen beliefs and | practices. He made progress in winning souls but became of opposition from some of the Jews finally abandoned the synagague and went with his disciples to the school of Tyrannus where he taught two years. During this period. Paul probably made fre quent excursions into the outly* ing territory for we are told thJV all that dwelt in Asia Minor .heard the word and various Ichurches were established, seven lof which are mentioned in Keve | llations. O Paul's ministry was blessed by [various manifestations of divine approval, rewarding the lives of Ithose who believed. These oc curences led sorcerers and magi cians to connect their art with Ithe name of Jesus. We have an Pkccount of the discomfiture of two such magicians. Under the influence of Paul's work many [of those who practiced the secret [arts realized their insufficiency and inadequacy and staged a (great bonfire of valuable books about the magic art. Later, while Paul Was a pris oner at Rome, he wrote a letter to the Christians at Ephesus. ex horting them to live a life worthy of a Christian The first three chapters of the letter are doctrinal, dealing with Christian truth while the last three chap ters are practical, dealing with the Christian lift-, wherein the virtues of purity and holiness are emphasized. Probably one of the best known portions of this letter is the reference given for our con sideration ? a description of the Christian's armor. "First, the girdle of truth, There is no safety in a lie. Second the breastplate of right- j eousness. The right life is the only safe ' life. Thing the sandals of peace. Peace has more victories than war. Fourth, the shield of faith. 'I will trust and not be afraid"*' Fifth, the helmet of salvation. The Christian life is the fear less life. Sixth, the sword of the Spirit. The true sword is the Word of God. Seventh, the habit of prayer. Prayer will always kill sin."| WELCOME Tobacco Growers TO BOONE.

The North Carolina, Baptist State Convention this: morning called for a State refer endum on the question of intoxi-, eating beverages and a special study of the divorce problem. In the closing session of the three-day convocation, the dele gates moved to complete action on deferred business related to the) admission of Gardner-Webb Junior college at Boiling Springs, to the educational system of the, convention; the appointment of a committee to confer with the trustees of Wake Forest college and representatives of the South-1 ern Baptist Convention on utili zation of Wake Forest property; and a proposal that the churches of the convention raise within three years the sum of $1,500,000 toward the erection of a new plant for Wake Forest at Winston Salem. Election of officers will conclude the business of the ses sion. Of unanimous accord on the liquoi question, the 1,500 mes sengers differed in opinion as the most feasible method of present ing the request to the State Gen eral Assembly. Following debate, it was voted that all district units join with; the general convention in peti tioning legislators, either orally inj conference or by written resolu- : tion, to seek a referendum next . year on the question of legal I liquor. < A resolution calling for a study, of the divorce problem asked that the convention appoint a special committee or authorize its com mittee on social service and civic righteousness to make a thorough study of the problem of marriage and divorce and to report to the convention at its next regular session.
