After reraainiirg fin seine length of time to establish the church, they left for Lystre and Liar- ber but the reason for their goalie was teat the ewit and pagans who were =eyed against them made an asea,ult upon them. They preached the gospel in the placewhere theY went to save their lives. 11. A lame an bealed (ve. 8-18). 8. Lystra-Lystra was eighteen miles southwest of Iconiurn in a wild reg- ion.

Teo lame man earnestly desired to be healed and he believed that the Lord was able and willing to make him whole. 10. Bald with a loud voice - Paul's earnestness in this matter and its importance brought forth in a loud and clear voice the command which follows. The people who were about Paul could hear the words and could be wItnesses to this marvellous cure. At tlae grave of Lazarus Jesus epoke In a loud voice for the dead to 001110 forth (Sohn 11;43).

Open ccomplieh- menial-Paul had spe,aking to the people in Greek and they understood that language, but they expressed their astonishment to one another in their native lan- guage. Evidently the apostles did not understand the language of •Lycitonia or they would not have allowed them to call them gods without rebuking -them The gods are come down to us -The people looked upon the apostlee ..ss the Incarnation of their deitice. 12. Jupiter -The pagans regarded Jureter the father of the other gods. Bar- nabas was probably more venerable In, appearance than Paul and hence would compare better with their con- ceptioit of Jupiter. Mercurius-The god Mercury was regarded as swift of movement and eloquent in speech. 13. Priest of Jupiter -Since it was thought that Jupiter was in the city, the people believed that the priest who had charge of the temple of Jupiter should sacrifice to him, Oxene- For sacrifice. Garlands -Garlands were used to decorate the oxen or the al- tars upon which the animals were we- rificed.

Why do ye these things -The apostles were putting forth strenuous efforts to prevent the sacrifice In their honor. Men of like Minions with you -Paul and Barna- bas declared that they were men and had natures like those of the men of Lystra.

I. It trials and triumphs. In this section of church history we may trace the force ot the gospel amid many dis- Undoes ot men, We have a glimpse of the trial of the apostles' faithful- ness in the truth, of their humilitY and telf-sacrificing zeal and ot their inspired wisdom and discretion, In their ministry at .Iconium four things aregiotewortby: Many conversions of Jews and Greeka a violent opposition, aemonstrations of divine power, and a social separation. The searching min- istry ot the apostles laid bare the hearts of the People. The spiritual vic- tories they won in the synagogues :upend the antagonism of the unbe- lieving Jews, who used their influ- ence to injure the apostles, Persecution made them change their place, but not their purpose nor their method of working. The threatening cloud of danger did not abate their courage. They only fled to a. new field of con- flict Paul always took care to adapt himself to the varying conditions and character of those among whom he labored. His theme was the same, but his method of presenting that theme was constantly changing according to circumstances and place. When they addressed Jews, they dealt with the scriptures, To heathen they drew les- sons front nature, "that universal and public manuscript that lies exposed to the eyes of all men." All the knowl- edge of God at which they arrived by the light of nature had but little influ- ence to reform hearts and lives of men Beyond nature's testimony to the divine existence and attributes, Paul added the Christian system whieh proposes no less than the full meet - err of men. fro a p eased God a special revelation to the Jews for the whole world's sake. Hie proceedings with other nations aro ' not recorded. The 'apostles wrought a marvellous healing at Lys- tra, which led to an outburst of idola- trous zeal. The people immediately deified the human agents and set about to worship them. As soon as the idea was adopted that Paul and 13arnabas were gods, the people assign - at to them their respective names. kfighest honors were unanimously and enthusiastically offered, only to be kepudiated with holy indignation. The arostles -felt most deeply the Jesuit offered' to God. 'They earnestly urged that the miracle was designed to open their hearts,.to the truth. The people of Lystra Were disposed to turn the miracles into an argument in favor of their idolatrous religion. Sews front Antioch determined to carry out the Purpose they had failed to execute in their own city. They were ready with a different interpretation of the mir- acle. The multitudes were in a state of mind to be easily persuaded. 'Their vanity had been wounded, II. Its estimated success. This entire earrative conveys the idea that the apostles soaght and found their strength in a divine source. Nothing else would have suetained them under the difficulties and sufferings of their mission. Undeterred by persecution, unmoved by offered fame, they went on with their commission. Jewish op- tosition still stood in the pathway of the gospeL Nevertheless it acquired force as it went and actually rooted itself more firmly in men's livee from the very fact that it was able to surmount Opposition. It was denote ous for Paul and Barnebas to visit the eagle 'cities again, but the souls of the disciffles were more to them than their own comfort and safety, If necessary, they would again face nil they had before eneountered. Paul was in a measure fitted by all he had lorne and suffeved to exhort the dis- ciples. A deep sense of what was due to those whom they had induted to forsake their old faith to enter on a new and trying course, constrained the epostlea to pursue the perilous path. They appealed to the &chiles to re- main steadfast in the faith in loyalty to the4r Lord and Saviour. Paul's miraeuloue escape wile a great help to the faith of the disaiples.

Berlin's view that the striamarine issue ibetween the two Governments re settled is not shared by the President or Secretary Lansing. The . price vvhich Germany must pay before reaching an arnie- able understanding with the United States is a strict and continuing ob. servanee of Rs pledge to effeet a change in its present mode ot Strb- marine warfare. Until there has been a tuffielent lapse of time to demonstrate that Germany ints really effeeted this pledge, the attitude of the Malted States will remain about as it lute been the past month toward tha Im- perial Governntent, Secretary Lansing is resehted to have Germany prove as well as declare its good faith be- fore he changes his present policy.

As one lettrtiel- pant puts R, it resolves itself merely into the Germans losing a few Men every day per mile of trench and our- selves losing almost exactly the same number. Britain Is Doing Share There is a carping clique in Mont- real and this Province who advance a variant of the Bourassa doctrines, who say that Great Britain is not do- ing enough to aid Prance in the war, who point out that the non -participa- tion of British troops in the Verdun operations and the arrival of Russian forces at the western front, give proof ot tneir contention, • forgetting that the command of the sea renders the Russian aid poesible. This talk is mischievous and idle, calculated to mislead the ignorant and chill the ardor of recruiting iti certata quar- ter. It is also false. It is not the opinion of the ,Freneh people nor that of the soldiers of Frailee, stretch- ing out in -the line from Belgian Os- tend to the Swiss frontier. The French people know that they have been snatched from at abyss, which threatened when war broke out in August, 914. The despatch of the British expedi- tionary force, It gallant service and the guardianship of the western coast of France by the British fleet saved France as it sav•ed Paris, And the fate in store for that city at the hands of Germany may be learned from the words of General von Kluck on near- ing the capital of Prance as quoted by lin Gabriel Honataux in an "extra- ordinary addrese reeently delivered at the Sorbonne: "Yes, yes, we've got you; your France is conquered and your,Pari nos ay,: stone .tirtop of Irrili other. .. . . . we will destroy all, BURN ALIA. There will be only the bare earth and the ravens left to raise broods." After the Battle et the Marne, which so decimated the English forces, came the German drive to Cal- ais, taking rank in many respects with the Verdun operations. We know what the Canadians did there -but not until after leaving their thous- ands to- the *casualty list! The day was saved by troops sent and sup - 'plied by the Empire. Is it necessary to touca upon the capture of Hill 70 and the Village of Loos in September? In that action consider the fortunes of one bat- talion; fourteen officers, with the colonel, were killed, and five wound- ed, out of twenty! There were five hundred casualties out of one three thousand five hundred. Eighty of- ficers -went into the fight and but eight came out -unscathed. These facts are from 'the pen ot Lieut, Tuck, an American; whose battalion was en- gaged. The British are not at Verdun,be- cause they are needed elsewhere -be- cause at that point there are "strong French reserves irt large units," to quote an authority. But how well the British are giving an acount of them - Selves la their allotted positions our own casualty lists and our descriptive and official despatches bear witness. There is no shirking the Hun as- saults on the part of either the Brit- ish or the French, and to represent it otherwise is as puerrlie as malicious. The statement is a calumny, and those who make it ere indeed "giving comfort to the enemy." Mr. Asquith's estimation of the French effort is not of that nature. He has recently borne testimony to "the fighting qualities of our neighboring ally?' which "were never greater and more highly developed than at present." Great Britain has voted to the prose- cutionof the war to date almost uine billions of dollar. Her troops aud ships are in all quarters of the globe.

Lord Robert con- tinues: "We have never received, either officially or unofficially, any aired peace suggestions from Germany, and the only Indirect overtureg we are aware of appear In the speeches of Chancellor von Bethmenn-Hollweg and the recent German note to America, We would not think of dis- cussing or even considering any over- ture without consulting our allies, No termed or informal conference for this 'purpose .ever taken Place, .

"If Gernlany should decide to ap- proach uS through the medium of the United States, the latter Would have to use its owu judgment as to whe- ther or not -to deliver the request." While diseleeraing any knowledge of the iuternal condition of Germany, Lord Robert declared that the in- creasing reports of peace overtures indicate there is some truth to the storiee that the Central Powers are in elesperate straits.

DUST OLOUDS Oil ALASKA. Volcano Ashes Makes the HIM Appear to be Snow Olad. As we approached Kodiak strange dark 'clouds were soon obscuring the horizon at several points, one of which vvas so heavy and black that it resem- bled smoke from a great forest fire. Captain Jensen ittingted.us,by-explain; ing-ttat "thls- was dust blown by the stiff breezes from the lofty hills all about us. These hills seemed covered with snow, but the whitish deposit proved to be ashes rained down sev- eral feet deep upon all this section dur- ing the eruption of Mount Katmai in Jane, 1912. Katmai is still smoking. The sun looked like a dull silver dol- lar as it shone through the asby migt. The duet 'cloud was so thick that it held our steamer up for four hours until the way was 'clear. Passing your hand over the rail of the boat, you found your fingers streaked with the impalpable gray powder. When we landed at Kadiak • we found piles of soft gray ashes and large and small pieces of light, friable stone, like pum- ice stone, which had been thrown out by the volcano. The explosion of the volcano was heard at Valdez, 400 miles away from Kadiale gad sounded like a cannonading. It was 'followed by a deposit of fine ashee in Valdez. In Kodiak the ashes covered every thing. They half buried Colonel Blod- gett's big cannery on the dock and put him temporarily out of business. They 'completely filled up a pond four feet deep which had been ,the skating re- sort for many years of the 'children of Kodiak, 4 4 • .BRITISH HERO A GERMAN. ala••••••• Wife Learns After His Death in Battle That He Was an Alien. A remarkable story of how a Ger- man named, Leibold enlisted under the name df Baker, served for nine- teen years in the British army, rose to the rank of squadron sergeant-maj. or in the nieventh Hussars, and died the death of a hero in Franee while fighting against the country of his birth is hidden behind the granting of a certificate of naturalization to bis widow, Mrs. John alowitt Breadatbane Baker, of Godalming, Surrey, .vnat is more remarkable is that the disclosure of Baker's German nation- ality surprised no one more than it did his wife. It was not Until eight months after ale death that Mrs. Baker, who had been married to him snee 1908, learn- ed for the frist time that her husband was a German, and that she, because of her marrage, Was also a German and an "alien enemy" of England. This discovery caused the registra- tion of Mrs, Baker under the alien restriction order, and for a time She lost her pension, Her natioeality and peheion, with the arrears, haVe been restored to her. Last month Mrs, Baker read in a paper that a Mrs. Leiboid, a German, had been prosecuted ter failing to register. In the report a the one it was stated that Mrs. Lelbold had tome to England from • Germany after' her husband's death, ana that she had a son, a squedron sergeant - major. Wbo • served in the.
