i i i m nit woman s by mair m morgan office methods at home some housewives are rather haph azard in the management of what might he called the business sid of the home and the result is some times needless worry and expense if they would take a leaf out of their office sisters hooks they would find these matters very much easier to look after for instance letters and accounts are always dealt with first thins when they are received it may not ik possible to send an answer right away hut the letter or account is put in its proper department and is dealt with in due course even if you dont have a- desk for your letters you can set aside a special drawer for accounts re ceipts and so on get one or two big envelopes and write on the out side what they contain such as re ceipts then you can get some rubber hands or paper fasteners and it will be an easy matter to keep together all the gas accounts rent receipts and so on then if any question is ever raised about a receipts you will be able to put your hands on it quite rcidily those receipts which may be call ed on after a good number of years such as for the annual payment of an insurance policy should be care fully kept in a separate envelope labelled on the outside unpaid bills can be put into a spe cial box as soon as received and paid off as soon as possible small bills should he dealt with as soon as vou get them for it is these small items which one is apt to forget and when allowed to mount up the total may give you a shock one day when you have not the ready money to pay it another business idea which is worth copying is to make a note for future reference of when any pay ments become due or the date when collectors next visits are likely to be one sometimes forgets when such a visit is likely and you say to yourself is it this week or next week the collector comes if you keep a note of such dates in a diary you will know to allow the sum of money due for that weak and not find yourself short when the collector calls or it may he that you become ill and if someone else is left in charge of household af fairs they will know what has to be paid out youll find it a good idea too to have a drawer with writing pad en velopes postcards labels blotting paper pen and ink or fountain pen pencil and rubber these are often wanted in a hurry and if you know exactly where to get them it saves a lot of time and perhaps temper some rubber hands in various widths paper clips drawing pins and a small supply of pen nibs are worth while keeping in stock while an address book is essential if you have

joseph who by the apostles was surnamed barnabas which- is being interpreted son of exhorta tion barnabas comes from two words bar meaning son and nabas possibly connected with the hebrew word nebi meaning prophet a name which may have been given to him because of bis preeminent gills ot speaking a levite barnabas is the only levite mentioned by name in the new testament they occu pied a very subordinate position in new testament judaism and when engaged at all in the service ot kie great sanctuary were chiefly emlpoy- ed as temple police a man of cy prus by race cyprus was an impor tant island situated in the northeast corner of the mediterranean sea in an anglo formed by the coasts or cilicia and syria with an area ot about 5381 square miles having a field although the le- vites

at the apostles feet it would seem from 1 cor 90 that barnabas by this great gift was compelled in later years to earn his own living the generosity of that deed is meas ured not by what he gave but by what he left they therefore that were scatter ed abroad upon the tribulation that arose about stephen the narra tive is now resumed from acts 84 tho church at jerusalem was no doubt like other churches iu danger of becoming selfcentered and seir sufilcicnt with a cooling possibly if its ardor for the preaching of the gospel wieu the persecution here referred the early disciples iu each direction resulting in a marvellous revivifying of the entire early church travelled as far as phoeni cia the country immediately north of palestine part of th roman pro vince of syria in which were uie great cities of tyre sidon blerut tripolis and cyprus and antioch speaking the word to none save only lo jews antioch was the capital ot tho province of syria one of the three great cities of the itomau kmpirc excelled only by home and alexan dria but there wore some of tiem men of cyprus and cyrene cyrene was a city of libya iu north africa west of egypt seo 210 131 who when they were come to an tioch spake unto the greeks also preaching the lord jesus there is great difference of opinion as to what is meant by this word greeks some believe i hat it reters to jews of the dispersion born and brought up out side of palestine but jews in birth religion ami training but tiie lict manuscripts of tho context itself would lead us to believe that these greeks were a part ot that numer ous class who had abandoned the worship of pagan gods and were seeking food for their religious hun ger in the services ot the synagogues and the band of the lord was with kiein and a great number that believed turned unto the lord so it was not a mistake in acting thus without official sanction they had not gone beyond the mind ot their master the evident blessing on their work justified them and uie report concerning thorn canio to the ears of the church which was in jerusalem the church at jerusalem was still tho mother church and all that took place in jerusalem was still the mother church and all that took place in re lation to the preaching of the gospel at that lime was certainly reported lo the pillars of the church in jeru salem and apparently was investi gated envoys being sent from the jerusalem church to survey and inako reports concerning happenings in other cities and they sent forth barnabas as far as antioch the ohoice of commissioner was a wise one that his introduction had been regarded as sufficient voucher for sauls dlscipleship shows that he for he was a good man the na tural but not certain inference from faith and allow nothing to check their attachment to christ and he went rorth to tarsus to seek for saul tarsus was ot course the city of saul and there he iad been spending perhaps ten years a period of his lifo which tor us is almost a total blank and when he had found htm he brought him unto antioci so saul now perhaps left tho home of his childhood for the last time and en tered on his lifes work introduced to it by the same friend who had be fore introduced him to the disciples at jerusalem and it came to pass that even tor a whole year they were ralherod together with the church and taught much people this is the first time that the word church is used in acts for a local company outside of jerusalem this is also probably the first time that pan found a quiet church in which to work giving him unlimited scope for his great abilities and that the disciples were call ed christians first in antioch the word christian has for its founda- lion the greek word christos which is a translation ot the hebrew word messiah meaning anointed one the termination of the word ianns is la tin thus the word is greek the idea is hebrew and the particular form of the word is latin now in these days there came down prophets from jerusalem unto antioch whilst foreknowledge ot events is not of necessity implied by the word prophet either in the old testament or the new testament the case of agabns both here and in 2110 11 shows that predictiveness was by no means excluded tiien chrslan prophets moreover as we see them in acts combine the duly ot ministering to tho lord with that of preaching the word they are not foretellers but foithtellers of gods will and lliere stood up on ot them named agahus and signified by the spirit that there should be a great famine over all the world which came lo pas in the days of claudi us suetonius alludes to asslduoe slerilitates causing famineprices un der claudius while dion cassius and tacitus speak of only two famines in borne and famine in rome implied dearth in the great corn growing countries of the mediterranean eu- sebius mentions famine in greece and an inscription perhaps rerers to famine in asia minor thus wide spread dearth over the roman world is fully attested independently be yond the roman world our evidence does not extend and the disciples every man ac cording to his ability see 1 cor 102 determined to send relief un to the brethren that dwelt in ju daea the suggestion may have come from barnabas who had been foremost at an earlier period 437 in relieving the necessity ot tho poor brethren and who is so often brought before us as performing some act of sympathy and tenderness which also they did sending it to the elders by the hand of barna bas and saul thus bar nabas sent from jerusalem brought spiritual wealth to antioch
