Lesson for September 5, 1948
| T USB AND AND WIFE: Team or
O tug-of-war? In times when
mora and more homes are splitting
apart, it is refreshing to read the
story of one home
that stuck together.
We do not know
whether these two
ever had children;
no doubt their home
was happier if they
had. But we do
know their names.
No one who ever
spoke of them men-
tioned one without
the other. You could not think of
Aquila without thinking of his wife
Priscilla (or Prisca for short), or
vice versa. They were displaced
persons, but that did not keep them
down.

FcssraaEy Trade Union
T IKE ALL JEWS of that time,
J-J they had a specialty, a trade
they had learned. In this
someone had
same trade (or did
from her husband?), so the two of
them formed a sort of trade union.
They were tentmakers, working not
only in heavy tent-cloth but in the
tanned skins of which many tents
in that time were made.
Their home was a workshop, their
hands were bent by long use of
hard tools, very likely they initialed
their produce. P & A tents were
good tents. Their business was
good, for we know they always had
room for another guest, for another
hand at the workbench. That was
one thing helping their marriage to
stick.
How many husbands and
wives today are working teams?
One reason why divorces are
more common in cities than on
farms is that the city man and
his wife seldom have any work
in common, while a farmer and
his wife are a working team in
which each needs the other to
succeed. Find some work you
two can share, even if it is
washing the dishes, and you
have something to help you hold
together through the years.
Bride-Elect Is
Shower Honoree
Mesdames T. C. Jackson, W.
J. Stubblefield, Stanley Gaston,
and Alvin Williams of White
Deer were hostesses at a pre-
nuptial shower complimenting
at the Jackson home. Miss Col-
grove was'married to Wayne Jor-
dan Thursday evening, Aug. 26.
Receiving the guests were Mrs.
Jackson; the honoree,; her mother,
Mrs. E. L. Colgrove; and the
mother of the bridegroom-elect,
Mrs. Ollye Jordan.
Mrs. Stubblefield was at the
guest book, Mrs. Williams was in
charge of the gifts, and Mrs.
Gaston was at the tea table. The
table was laid with a lace cloth
over pink. A double row of pnk
and whte gladoli wreathed the
punch bowl, and white candles
in crystal holders stood at each
end of the table. Refreshments of
mints, nuts, punch, and individual
cakes iced in white and topped
with pink rosebuds carried out
the color scheme.
About 60 guests called during
the afternoon.
In 13S9, Henry IV of England
founded a new military order
called The Order of the Bath. It
had ever been the custom to reward
faithful subjects by dubbing them
knight before or after battle by,the
simple rite of striking the kneel-
ing soldier with the flat of the sword,
saying “Rise, Sir Knight.” But Hen-
taught Prisca the ry had an idea which many believe
she learn it | was “spired for the express pur-
pose of persuading his nobles to pre-
sent themselves as socially accept-
able for the ceremony, including a
complete immersion in a tub. While
bathing, the favored subject was in-
structed in the laws of chivalry. At
the conclusion of the ceremony, wa-
ter was poured on his left shoul-
der in the sign of the cross. And
thus knighthood was conferred.

Substitute for Coffee
Early American pioneers used as
coffee substitutes the seeds of Ken-
tucky coffeetree, as well as those of
the common persimmon and the oak.
More Than Meals
\ NOTHER bond that held these
l\ together was their hospitality.
They had a long list of friends,
some of them distinguished. We
know about Paul and Apollos and )
we hear of many others. But when
Apollos stayed at their house, he
was getting more than meals.
If you don’t do more for a guest
than feed him, he might as well be
at a restaurant. If you don’t do
more than amuse him, he might as
well be at the movies. What those
two did for Apollos was to give him
ideas, bigger ideas, truer and bet-
ter than he had ever had, about the
Christian faith. No doubt Apollos
enjoyed Priscilla’s lamb chops, but
when he left that home he was not
merely a well-fed man but one
whose soul had grown.
Here again is something for
husband and wife today. What
are you doing for the people
who come in your door? If they
come for dinner you wouldn’t in-
sult them with trash or poison.
What do you give their minds,
their souls? Poison, trash or
food?
The Church in Their House
j? VIDENTLY the P & A tents
H/ made enough money for Pris-
cilla and Aquilla to have a spacious
home, for we find Paul in a letter
mentioning “the church in their
house.” This more than anything
else kept these two together, a
working team. You know in every
church there are a few key people.
They may not be conspicuous, but
like the distributor under an auto-
mobile hood, if they are not there
things do not run smoothly and
maybe not at all.
Aquila and Priscilla were like
that. Their church naturally re-
volved around them. This must
have taken a good deal of their
time, no doubt it cost them money,
and it must have meant work. But
if the church was in their house it
was because they wanted it that
way. It would be hard to believe
that they asked for this so as to
keep themselves from drifting
apart; yet undoubtedly that was
one effect of it.
The great majority of divorces
are among people who have no
connection with the church
whatever. Many, of course, are
of persons who are on church
rolls somewhere. But how many
broken marriages do you know
among persons who are active
in Christian work?
