Beginning next week The Progress will print four Sunday School Lesson notes by Peloubet, supplying weekly notes and comments for the four forthcoming lessons. Readers are urged to save the papers for study and reference.
Sunday School lesson on Paul in Malta and his trip to Rome from Acts 28, detailing the reception by Maltese inhabitants, Paul's survival of the viper incident, healing of Publius's father, and the journey toward Rome including stay in Malta and Syracuse with the 275 companions.
This fragment quotes Itam's Horn reflecting on virtue and vice. It contrasts covetousness, honesty, and wealth, noting gold’s shine fades when guilt taints it and calmness reflects bravery. It comments that a converted heart brings wealth within reach despite sin gilded.
The Sunday School lesson from 1897 covers Paul’s ministry in Rome Acts 28 17 31 and Rom 16 3 15 Romans four Epistles during first captivity and three Epistles in second captivity. It details Paul’s interviews with the Jews after three days in Rome, seeking lodging, rest, and to correct false reports about his imprisonment.
Fragment discusses Paul’s release after two years, travel through Asia Minor, Greece, and Crete, and possible writings to Titus. It cites apostolic preaching, views on Jewish belief, Gentile salvation, and traditional accounts of his death by beheading under Roman rule.
A torn religious fragment discusses charity and the Apostle Paul. It contemplates how kindness clashes with wickedness and warns against judging others for sin. It notes salvation depends on hearing and choosing faith rather than worldly interference.
A fragmented excerpt reflects on wind as direction of desire and gratitude, alluding to Solomon-Tait and opendency. The text hints at hope, ingratitude, and the unsettled nature of wishes, without clear narrative context.
The lesson stresses Ephesians 6 on spiritual warfare and Christian virtue. It outlines the inner strengthening from the Lord, the need to wear God’s full armor, and oppose worldliness and the devil with faith, truth, humility, love, and righteousness. It emphasizes a single combat against spiritual powers and urges reliance on divine provision.
