Improved | SUNDAY | International II SCHOOL LESSON -:- By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Os Tl e Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Rel£*sed by Western Newspaper Union. —« j Lesson for October Lesson subjects and Scripture text 3 se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. PAUL’S BACKGROUND AND EARLY LIFE LESSON TEXT—Acts 21:39; 22:3. 27. 28; 26:4, 5: Philippians 3:5, 6. MEMORY SELECTION Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth —Ecclesiastes 12:1. God works through men. When we study his work we study the lives of men—all types of men — but all yielded to him, and used by him. Paul stands out as one of the most influential characters in all history. His life and letters, which we are to study the next three months, have had a tremendous effect on the human race. Especially is this true of his position and influence in the Christian church. Under God he was the one who carried the gospel to the Gentile world, and then began the great missionary program of the church, which goes on to this very day. His writings are the steady and ex tensive foundation of much of our study and teaching of Christian doc trine. I. Birthplace (Acts 21:39). Thfc place of a man's birth has a definite influence on his personality and usefulness. Tarsus, where Paul was born, was one of the most cos mopolitan cities in the world of that day. It was a Roman province, where men proudly held their cit izenship in the great empire. Greek, the language of world culture, was spoken there. Tarsus was a great educational and university center. It was in a rich and fertile area. It was at the head of navigation on the river Cydnus and on a great Roman high way. It was the capital of the province. 11. Education (Acts 22:3). After his early training in the home and under rabbis in Tarsus, he went to Jerusalem to study in what was probably the best equipped Hebrew college of that day, under one of the greatest teachers, Gamaliel. Somewhere in his rearing he was taught a trade, for every Jewish boy learned to support himself with his own hands (see Acts 18:3). He was instructed in the Word of God, and had a consuming zeal for religious things. Until he was con verted, it counted against Christian ity, but afterward it became a flaming fire to spread the truth in all the world. His combined zeal and knowledge made him a man of truly broad mind and tolerant spirit (Acts 5:35- 39). in. Citizenship (Acts 22:27. 28). The mighty power and prestige of Rome stood behind every Roman citizen. Paul used his citizenship for protection. It helped him in his service for the Lord. Its prestige was used for God’s glory. It is a good sign when a man is proud of his national background, and it speaks well for the nation to which he belongs. But Paul came (as every Christian does) to know and appreciate a higher citizenship. IV. Religion (Acts 26:4, 5). Though a free-born Roman citi zen, Paul was a Jew, and loyal to the religion of his people. He was a member of the strictest sect, the Pharisees, in which his family had held membership for generations. He lived consistently in the ob servance of the laws and customs of his religious faith, and none could point to any flaw in his doctrine or failure in his life. When he became a follower of Christ, there was no ground on which anyone could dismiss his con version and his witness as the out break of a new viewpoint on the part of a renegade Jew. It is to a man’s credit that he faithfully lives up to the beliefs of the religion he professes. The re sult of such sincerity will be con version, if he, like Paul, meets Christ and honestly faces the ques tion of loyalty to him. V. Race (Phil. 3:5, 6). Paul counted it to be an honor to be known as a Hebrew and gloried in the fact that he was born, trained and lived within that racial as well as religious circle. No one need ever be ashamed of his race, although he may be ashamed of things which members of his race have done. But there are even more things of which to be proud, and a man may add to the standing of his race by living his own life in cleanness of char acter and nobility of purpose. It is never a commendable thing to be ashamed of the race of one's fa thers. We must remember, however, ! that all the things in which Paul \ gloried, he found to be but refuse 1 when h# compared them with Christ j (see Phil. 3:7, 8). Everything worthwhile In a man's i life God can glorify and use. But j none of them, no matter how pre- j cious they may seem to be, com- ; pares with fellowship with and serv- : ice for the Lord. —1 ,l ‘ ‘ I BUY BONDS AND KEEP THEM College Students Make Annual Trip To Mt. Mitchell O Approximately one hundred Montreat College students and teachers participated in the an nual sightseeing trek to the top of Mt. Mitchell on Monday, with a picnic lunch provided by college and high school athletic associa tions. This was the third of a series of such trips, with scenic rides which included Andrew’s Geyser and Chimney Rock in the past and plans for others under consideration. Also included in the year’s pro gram of entertainment, which is under the direction of Miss Eliza beth Hoyt, are trips to the Civic Music Concerts in Asheville, to which fifty tickets have been al loted Montreat college, and special programs scheduled for each Sat urday night. Plan Rally For Swannanoa Game o The Black Mountain High school started the football season this year with a rally held at the gram mar school. The participants met at the Gulf filling station and paraded through town with fire wood and signs. After the bon fire was built the Alma Mater was sung and the cheer leaders took charge, leading cheers for the school and team. This was follow ed by short talks by Pete Brittain, Bob Reese, Eugene Byrd, and T. W. Nesbitt. A short skit was given in which a dummy, repre senting the opposing team, was burned on the bon-fire. This was followed by more cheers and the Alma Mater. Two rallies of this kind have been held and another has been planned for the night before the game with Swannanoa. You are invited to take part.

THE MAN WHO WINS Walter EL I.senhour A man may win the laurels of fame, Or hang a rainbow in the sky, But through misconduct lose his name And die unhonored by and by; But he who lived a godly life, Although he may not famous be, And helps to rid the world of strife, Will shine through all eternity. It’s not the man who does the most To make a big display and show; It’s not the man who likes to boast That has within his soul a go To run the race and win the crown And of his best to others give. That he may bless the world around By helping men for God to live. The man that wins is he who wills To do the will of God above, Whose heart and soul our Savior fills With grace and peace and joy and love; And from his life there shines a light To help some struggling soul along The path that leads to heaven bright Where he may join the saintly throng. To win is not an idle game That simple little children play; It isn’t doing things for fame That fade and die at close of day; It is to do what means the most To help a sinful world to God, That one may help to lead a host Along the road that saints have trod. ssssssssss**?*?ss?* Our Classified Ad Department For Rent FOR RENT: —Large sunny rooms, private baths, furnace heat, break fast, luncheon and laundry privi leges. 1 1-2 miles from Moore Gen eral.
