I. The Controversy In the Church
■t Antioch (vv. 1-5).
This difficulty wna a most serious
one, for It threatened the disruption
of the church Into Jewish anJ Gentile
divisions. It was not a question of
the admission of the Gentiles Into the
Church; that had been settled some
years before when Peter received Cor-
nelius and his household. The ques-
tion now was, On what ground could
they he received? Should Gentile con-
verts he required to keep the Mosaic
Law as a condition of salvation? Thla
Issue wns brought on by the coming
of certain men from Jerusalem who
declared, "Except ye be circumcised
after the manner of Moses, ye cannot
be saved" (v. 1). The question waa
so difficult that Paul and Barnabas
were unable to put them to silence.
These Jewish legalists had the letter
of the Scripture on tlieir side. They
could point to the command enjoining
this rite upon the male children of
the covenant people (Gen. 17:10-14).
Paul coald not point to any scripture
where this obligation had been abro-
gated. If Paul should plead that
Abraham was Justified before he wns
circumcised, his antagonist could an-
swer, "Yes, hut after Justification the
rite was divinely Imposed." The
brethren at Antioch deckled to refer
the matter to the mother church at
Jerusalem. Accordingly, Paul nnd
Barnabas nnd others were sent as a
deputation to Jerusalem.
II. The Deliberation* of the Council
(vv. 0-21).
1. Teter's speech (vv. 0-11). He ar-
gued that God had borne witness to
the acceptance of the Gentiles h.v giv-
ing the Holy Spirit to them as unto
the Jews (Acts 10:04-47), Since,
therefore, God had not put a differ-
ence, it would be folly for them to
to do so.
2. Paul and Barnabas rehearsod
their experience (v. 12). They told
how that God had set his seal of ap-
proval on their preaching of salvation
by grace through faith apart from the
works of the law by the working of
signs and wonders through them.
8. The argument of James (vv.
14-21). He took the fact declared by
Peter and showed how It harmonised
with the prophecy of Amos (Amos
0:11-15). He showed that the recep-
tion of the Gentiles wns not In con-
flict but In strict harmony with God's
plan. As set forth In the speech of
James. God’s plan Is as follows:
a. To take out from among th«
Gentiles a people for his name (v. 14).
This Is what Is now going on—the
preaching of the gospel to the ends
of the earth, and the calling out of
the Church.
b. After the Church Is completed
nnd removed, the Israelitish nation
will be converted and restored to their
land and privileges by the Lord him-
self at hls return (vv. 10, 17).
c. Following this will be the con-
version of the world through the
agency of converted Israel (v. 17 cf.
Bom. 11:15-17). nc showed that there
Is no conflict when the Scriptures are
rightly divided.
III. The Decision of the Council
(vv. 22-29).
The mother church came to a
unanimous agreement nnd accepted
the resolution offered by James. They
not only sent a letter stating the de-
cision of the conference, but took the
wise precaution to send Influential
men along with Paul and Barnabas to
bear the same testimony by word of
month. This letter denied the au-
thority of the Judalzlng teachers
(v. 24) and declared the method by
which this decision had been reached
(vv. 25-27). They put the Holy Spirit,
first. They were positively Instructed
to abstain from meats offered to Idols,
from blood, and from things stran-
gled, and from fornication.
IV. The Decision Delivered to th#
Church (vv. 80-85).
Upon tlieir return to Antioch, the
church wns called together to hear the
report. Its rending brought great re-
joicing. Judns nnd Silas, who had
been sent ns confirmatory witnesses,
being prophets, now exhorted the
brethren with many words, confirming
the decision of the Jerusalem church.
Cattle Owners See
Value of T B Test
Doubters Convinced After
Seeing Officials at
Their Work.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)—WNU Service.
I Cattle owners who doubt the value
I of the tuberculin test are Invited to
follow their reactors to slaughter nnd
see the post-mortem Inspection.
Recently L. C. Larson, of Tipton,
Iowa, after seeing the slaughter of
1 some of hls fine beef cattle which had ;
1 reacted to the tuberculin test, said:
"I’ll admit, gentlemen. I had no faith
In the test, but I want to tell the
world that when one feels ns I did |
about It, all he has to do Is to follow
his cattle to slaughter and he will
realise that tlie government knows
what It Is doing.” The story of Mr. j
Larson, hls brother, I. S. [.arson, their
father, and a neighbor, following a
bunch of reactors to the shambles at j
Cedar Rapids, was reported to the ,
United States Department of Agrlcul- ;
ture by one of Its Inspectors In the i
field.
The animals were slaughtered at an
establishment where federal meat In-
spection Is maintained. In conformity ,
with federal regulations each animal
was distinctly marked to retain the !
Identity of the carenss nnd parts
throughout the procedure of slaughter i
i nnd post-mortem Inspection, which wns
conducted by veterinarians trained In
meat Inspection. One carcass was
tuberculous to such a degree that It
was condemned In Its entirety nnd de- :
stroyed for food purposes. In the
others the disease had not reached a
stage to require the condemnation of
other than lesser parts. One of the |
cows had nn open tuberculous lesion
of the udder nnd therefore had been a
very dangerous source of the disease.
! The establishment where the cattle
were slaughtered Is one of about 800
In the United States where federal
moat inspection Is conducted.
The policy of letting cattle owners
see for themselves is In line with the 1
official procedure In ?asting cnttle for
tuberculosis nnd In disposing of re-
actors. department officials explain.
The state, the federal government, nnd
local veterinarians are willing to have
any cnttle owner see what happens to
hls reactors when slaughtered. He
may also examine the records kept at
| slaughtering establishments operating
under federal meat Inspection to find
what disposition Is made of his own
reactors. In other states, ns well ns
| In Iowa, the officials stand behind the
' tuberculin test.
Thin Fall and Winter
Apples, Say Specialists
j By thinning fall and winter apples,
orchardists can Improve the size, color,
nnd grade of their fruit, according to
specialists In horticulture at the (Hilo
State university, who declare that the
practice does not reduce total yield
and Increases the amount of number
one apples.
Culls which nre removed now are
(lifinitely disposed of, while good fruits
that will grade out continue to grow.
Because of this they believe that thin-
ning should he looked upon ns a har-
vesting nnd not a growing cost.
Other advantages of thinning, de-
clare the specialists, are that tree
breakage Is reduced, tree vigor Is
Improved, better control of the second
brood codling moth can he secured,
all fruit handling costs nre lowered,
and the apples ripen more uniformly
and require fewer pickings than do
unthinned trees.
It Is b^st, they believe, to remove
all blemished, small, nnd misshapen
apples nnd to leave only the best sin
gle apples In the clusters. For most
varieties nn eight-inch spacing Is the
most satisfactory.
Better Care of Swine
Results imMore Pigs
The Increase this yenr In the nver
age number of pics raised per litter
throughout the United States Is pnrtlj
a result of the more (tenoral appllcn
tlon of the swlne-snnltntlon system. Ic
the opinion of E. 7,. Russell. In ehnrgf
of swine Investigations for the United
States Department of Agriculture, whe
comments on the department’s pig
survey report for Jnno. This yonr tht
average wns fi.04 pigs per litter, as
Increase of 0.07 pig over last year and
0.37 pig over 1020. This Is the first
time In nine years that the averagt
has exceeded six pigs per litter.
“The Increase made In the Inst twe
years cannot he credited to any on*
factor." Mr. Russell explain, "hut It Is
probable that much of tho showing Is
due to better management of horde
and especially to tho prevention of
worm Infestation of young plgR.
through the use of the Rwlne-snnltn
tlon system. The favorable weather
conditions during the spring farrow
Ing soasons both this yenr nnd Inst
wns, no doubt, n great help In prevent.
Ing pig losses everywhere."
Abiding in Christ
Abiding In Christ does not mean that
you must always be thinking about
Christ. You nre In a house, abiding In
Its enclosure or benenth Its shelter,
though you arc not always thinking
nliout the house Itself. But you al-
ways know when you leave It.—F. B.

POSSIBLE SPREAD
OF YELLOW FEVER
Experts Foresee Danger
From Airplanes.
A "new aviation peril," said to he
Sensational In its possibilities, came
up for discussion at the annual con-
fereuce of the British Medical asso-
ciation. sir Malcolm Watson culled
attention to the likelihood, almost
the certainty, of "ulreraft carrying
yellow fever from West to East Af-
rica." If that happened, he claimed,
there wus nothing to prevent It from
spreading to Asia, from completely
paralysing Itself. Other physicians
at the conference undertook to show
how alrplnnes might he the means of
“propagating plague, cholera, small-
pox nnd typhus.” And Sir George
Buchanan stated that, ns there was
a possibility of aircraft Introducing
new types of influenza nnd cerebro-
spinal meningitis into England, the
subject was engaging the attention
of both the air ministry and the
ministry of health. For himself he
regarded It ns “an important matter
requiring measures In the yellow
fever zones to prevent the spread of
the disease."
Almost simultaneously with these
deliverances, though without any
sort of connection with them, came
an article In the London Times set
ting forth facts regarding the trans-
mission of cholera over the work!
after Its appearance at Calcutta In
1817, and asserting that by 1831 It
had become certain that no country
was secure against the Inroads of
the disease. Appearing successively
at Bombay and Madras, It reached
Ceylon In IS IP and spread thence nnd(
from India over eastern Asia and thJ
Islands of the Indian ocean. B.v ISIS*
Syria wns reached and Europe threat-'
ened. It disappeared from Turkey,
but began to push north and west
again after ravaging Persia und the
lands south of the Caucasus. In Rus-
sia more than 250,000 human beings
died ns the result. In Cairo and Alex-
andria 30,000 were swept away In 24
days. And the nlnrm In Great Brit-
ain "increased enormously" In June,
1831, when Londoners received the
news that the cholera had reached
Riga, where "700 or 800 sail of Eng-
lish vessels, loaded chiefly with hemp
and flax," were waiting to come to
England. It wns then, after an or-
der hnd been Issued for the quaran-
tining of all ships from tho Baltic,
that "the plague established Itself
In England for the first time.”
Yet all through that period, begin-
ning with 1817, there were none of
our modern airplanes In existence,
and no possibility of the cholera be-
ing carried by them. Are they In
any way specially fitted for the con-
veyance of contagious diseases, for
stimulating to special precautions,
and for thus alarming the world?
Must It not be assumed that there
Is a like risk In the to-and-fro trips
of our ocean steamers and sailing
vessels that hnve been so long con-
necting the continents, the latter for
many centuries past? Introduced
disease, whether imported b.v air-
plane or steamer. Is dangerous In any
case. The call is to prevent such im-
portation so fur ns that can he done,
but especially to continue the tight
against disease In all tlie countries
which are affected or serve ns its
breeding ground, so that there will
lie as little as possible of it to export.
And this Is the task at which the
scientists nnd the physicians are
working In tlieir campaign against
that enemy of man, the poison mi-
crobe.
Sole Voter Leave* Precinct
The city of New York will save
$400 next primary election day, four
men will be out of work and Manhat-
tan will be minus one election dis-
trict, because George Schrader lias
moved. Mr. Schrader for two years
has enjoyed the distinction of being
the only voter In the Thirty-eighth
election district.

THINKER HAS GOOD
WORD FOR THORNS
Serve to Keep the Individual
Within Bounds.
“The rose culturlsts have accom-
plished so much In the development
of blooms that I have often wondered
why they have not boon able to do
awuy with the thorns,” said Mr. Taro
Nlnetnlls. “Perhaps It Ik Impossible,
or perhaps, in some Instances, they
hnve succeeded, hut the roscH of the
garden still have thorns; nnd vicious
enough they seem to the nmnteur,
who, when he pruneR hls bushes or
his climbers, should be sheathed In
plate armor; even the experts do not
escape unscathed, I understand. I
hnve sometimes hnd the feeling when
I wns applying nn nntiseptlc solution
to my lacerated arms nnd hands that
roses shouldn't he allowed nt large,
hut that their cultivation should he
wholly within guarded boundaries
where they could do no hnrm. And
yet. a rose In bloom is—n rose In
bloom! And ns long as such blooms
nre produced It seems highly prob-
able that we’ll endure the thorns.
“In horticulture rose thorns are
menacing; In literature they nre
monitory. Many of the classicists, for
many a century, hnve recorded the
discovery—which has been made by so
many other people—that there Is no
rose without a thorn; nnd then, with
tlieir usual Ignoring of facts, tho
metnphorists talk of rose-strewn
paths as the ways of delight, nnd bods
of rosos ns couches of luxurious com-
fort. Fellow nmnteur. who has done
some of his own rose pruning, would
you like to walk along n rose-strewn
path or lie on a bed of roses? You
needn’t answer. I'll answer for you.
Certainly not!
“Let us. then, bear nil this In mind
as we contemplate the superior bless
Ings of our more fortunate fellows.
Those whose ways lend along rose-
strewn paths must often find them
rather painful to the feet, nnd those
who lie on beds of roses probably
have a good deni of difficulty In ad-
justing their posture so that lender
parts of their bodies will not he pain-
fully pierced. AH of this, of course,
is merely another form of a most
comforting philosophy—a compre-
hension that there are (laws in the
advantages that are enjoyed by the
most enviable.
“ •Buck,’ I said, referring the sub-
ject. as I do most puzzling questions,
to a man who has ideas, ‘don’t you
think that, with all the advance hor-
ticulture has made, the experts ought
to be able to develop a rose without
a thorn?’
*‘ Torhapp,’ he responded; ‘but why
should they?’
** 'Why, because thorns hurt peo-
ple. They are had things that serve
no good purpose.’
*' 'As usual, you are wrong,’ he de-
clared. ‘Thorns serve a very good
purpose. They keep people within
hounds. In fact, they ought to he on
a good many other things than roses.
Accelerators, for Instance.”’ — In-
dianapolis News.
Jack Mail Route
The carrying of the mails has prog-
ressed so rapidly In late years that
the airplane now speeds across the
country with mail In only a fraction
of the time required by trains of a
few years ago, yet In spite of all the
progress there Is one mall route
which goes on unchanged In the .SO
years of its operation. In Kdwards,
Colo.. W. 11. Wellington, a veteran
of tho mail service, has the contract
for transporting the mail from the
post office to the railroad station,
and thrice dally for 30 years he has
driven the mail hack and forth In a
backboard wagon drawn by a jack
mule. His is believed to be the only
jack-powered conveyance In the fed-
eral mail service.
In Agreement
“How Is your boy Josh getting
along with his employer?”
“Well,” replied Farmer Corntossel,
“they have come to an agreement at
last. Josh said he was goln’ to quit
an’ the boss, he snld so, too.”
You enn be tolerant of the fool-
ish, but how about being tolerant
of the intolerant?
