Sunday School Lesson For Sunday The Scripture Reading, and Comment by Rev. C. G. Smith, Asheboro, N. C. ."■O Golden Text.—He shall have domin ion also from sea to sea, and from the liver unto the ends of the earth.— Psalm 72:8. BEGINNING OF THE SECOND MISSIONARY TOUR And some days after Paul said un to Barnabas, Let us go again and vis it our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of tl\p Lord, and see how they do. And Barnabas determined to take ■with them John, whose surname was Mark. But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work. And the contention was so sharp be tween them, that they departed asun der one from the other: and so Barna bas took Mark, and sailed unto Cy prus; And Paul chose Silas, anti departed, being recommended by the brethren .unto the grace of God. And he went through Syria and [Cilicia, confirming the churches. Ch. 16:1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra; and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father .■was a Greek: Which was well reported of by the . . brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium. Him would Paul have to go forth ■with him; and took anil circumcised Jum because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek. Anii as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apos tles and elders which were at Jerus alem. And so were the churches establish ed in the faith, and increased in num ber daily. In 1883 the last link was completed between Duluth, Minnesota anil the tracks of the Northern Pacific. Thus the Atlantic Ocean was wedded to the Pacific by continuous iron rails, and .the event was celebrated by driving a golden railroad spike at the point Where the two roads met in Montana. By such union and cooperation the [West was won and is held today. The pagan Empire of Rome was .won for Christ by the united efforts •f the early missionaries. “And some days after, Paul said unto Barnabas, [Let us go again and visit our breth ren in every city yhere we have preached the word of the Lord.” But cooperative plan did not fail to pre sent its difficulties. It will be remem bered that John Mark had deserted at the outset of the first campaign. Paul was unwilling to trust him further. Barnabas determined to give him an other chance and it seemed probable that the world’s pioneer missionary ( alliance was about to end in a splen-i did row. It will be instructive to notice how this controversy was settled. There was no surrender of principle on eith-1 «r side. There was no opposition or i competition between the pioneers. They simply decided to divide the territory and to strike out in opposite directions as had Abraham and Lot two thousand years before. "Barna bas took Mark and sailed unto Cyp rus: and Paul chose Silas and” return- j «d to the mainland of Asia Minor.! The glorious work went on in two ; great territories instead of one. The problem of friction between Christian workers will always con front us. Let us keep always in mind the common purpose which unites us. Always ready to give the benefit of the doubt to our brother’s sincerity and' good intentions. And let us re member that the blame for many a misunderstanding might well be charged to our own thoughtless and unjust dealing.

R. DON LAWS PAYS TRIBUTE TO WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN — R. Don Laws, editor and publisher of the Yellow Jacket at Moravian Falls, pays a beautiful tribute to the late William Jennings Bryan, as fol lows: i “The State Rests” As the golden sun was seeking its western bed, after a day of rest on I July 26th, 1925, the Sabbath quiet, ! the spiritual stillness, which had si ■ lenced the wheels of a nation’s com merce over a country that worships the Christ who said, “Come unto Me, ye that are weary and heavy laden,” was broken by a whisper that came! from an humble Dayton, Tennessee, home. It was a trembling voice that | uttered it, scarcely audible as it weed i ed its way through the tears that ! choked it. The speaker sobbed and the listener shuddered. “William Jen nings Bryan is dead.” It could not be. That the man who for nearly half a century had stood against the fierce light of a world’s comments and crit icisms, cheers and curses, loves and hates should be no more ? Surely there must be some mistake. The list ener dropped the Receiver and the speaker hung up the phone. In an instant the world, resting that Sunday afternoon, began to awake. Over moor and hill, thru dell and dale, from the humble cotter’s cabin and out of ; princely palace, neighbor to neighbor, j village to village, statesman, politi j cian and patriot, a wide wondering, woe-stricken people heard the mes sage that sent a shudder into the (hearts of friend and foe alike: “Wil liam Jennings Bryan is dead!’’ Tele [ phone exchanges, newspaper offices, l pastors in their pulpits, artisans ! whose cause he had defended resting | from their weary wage-quest; child | ren who had learned more of Jesus by his Sunday School lesson and stern unbelievers whose doubts and denials had crushed as against an adaman tine wall before the sumblime stature of his unabated faith, heard and! sought confirnvition and wept as one j of their own seemed to be gone from j them. Only a few days ago the writer talked with William Jennings Bryan. He heard from his own lips the record i of his undying devotion to the One Cause above politics, power, position or preferment. The greatest spiritual force of the century has been taken from us. The one indomitable master of the hosts which must iave the nation by rescu ing its Bible and its schools has heard the call to come higher. Bryan needs no panegeric of praise; his life has been for the God in whom he believed. His death at the seat of his final fight for the Book of books j is a mighty challenge to every be-1 liever in man’s creation in God’s im- j age to rally for battle. Bryan’s foes j will renew witti more fervor, now that | the leader has been slain. R. DON LAWS Moravian Falls, N. C. THE COURIER TELLS THE MOST IMPORTANT NEWS Not many weeks ago the first car lot shipment of poultry was made from this county under the supervis ion of the State Bureau of Markets. Hundreds of the farmers of the coun ty took advantage of this sale to get cash out of their surplus chickens. The Courier cooperated in this enter prise, as it always does in anything looking to the best interests of the people of the county, by giving pub licity to the sale and after the sale to its success and benefits derived from it. This work on the part of The Cou rier attracted the attention of the Southern Ruralist, an influential farm . paper published at Atlanta, Ga., and newspapers all over the country cop ied what the Ruralist had to say about the way in which the news was hand led by The Courier. One of these papers was the Christian Science Monitor, a large international daily newspaper published in Boston, Mass. Here is what the Christian Science S^onitor said: Not long since the Southern Agri culturist ran an editorial under the caption, "The County Papers Tell the Important News.” This article told of the receipt by the Agriculturist of three county papers, the Lebanon (Tens.) Democrat, the Asheboro (N. C.) Courier, and the Grayson County (Ky.) News. The first of these had “a big line all the way across its first page to say, “The Toll Gates Have Gone,” a piece of nerws that means more to that county than al most anything that has happened in it for a long time.” The second told about “the first carload shipment of live poultry made from Kaadoijm County—another piece of real news because it marks the beginning of a new era in the marketing of an im portant farm product in that county.” The third stressed an act of neighbor liness which was inspiring to all who read concerning it. And this is the comment of the Agriculturist: As long as such things take place no one can say or think that the old country spirit of neighborly kindness and helpful cooperation is dead. And proof that this spirit is still active in the hearts of men is more important ipews to Grayson County, and to the , !-1 Genera] News Of The World Told In Brief A, Digest of Things Worth Knowing About Events Throughout the World During the Week.

Dahlberg, grieves over the fact 4hat only eleven millions of families of the twenty-five millions in America own their homes. The others are renters, he says, and predicts that the nation is degenerating into a race' of flat-dwellers. , Mr. Dahlberg is unduly pessimistic. The spirit of home ownership is stead ily growing throughout the land, . we are confident. Certainly, in the East and West, realty development is ex panding. Population is congested in i the cities, but that is because the I country has not assimilated and dis i tributed its population completely. ! The automobile is carrying people into the suburbs and villiges in in ! creasing numbers. When the prob j lem of the small house is wholly solv ed—and many progressive builders have solved it locally—America should be a nation of home-owners.
