a cordial reception. They lodged with

Charge of the Jerusalem church, and
the elders reeeived Paul and his coin-
paay, and Paul deelared the great
work of graee the Lord bad wrought
among the Gentiles. Although James
and his assmeatce were at the very
centre of Judaietic influence4 and theY
'would be liable to be preiediced in
favor of Christians' observing the
great teatures of the law of Moses, yet
they retoiced to know what had been
done among the Gentiles.
II. Reepect for Jewish Lew (vs. 21-
26). While James and his associates
rejoiced with Pain and trusted him
fully, there were great numbers of
Jewish Christians who carefully ob.-
served the law and who had been in-
formed that Paul was teaching the
Jew e not to observe the law cif Moses.
James desired to have thts misappre-
hension removed and euggested that
Paul go through the ceremony of Puri-
fication in company with four men
who were completing Nazarite vows.
James made reference to the decision
of the council at Jerusalem a few yeers
previously, in which it was deeldeu
that the only requirement in be laid
upon Gentiles as touching the law of
Moses was "that they keep teenieeIves
?hem things offered to !dole. and from
blood, and from strangled. and from
fornication." Paul adopted the plan
suggested by James in order that he
might be set forth in the right light
before the church at Jerusalem.

a dignified title. This is the man !-
Paul's enemies spoke as they were
moved by prejudice rather than bY

sented the teachings of the apostle.

Paul had not brought Greeks. or Gen- '
tiles, into the temple. Those who were
there with him completing their VOWS

scrupulous. Polluted this holy place -
There was a court of the Gentiles in-

not wish to do this in the temple. The

that any of the Levites, the gatekeep-
ers of the temple, were of the same

closing the gates was only to prevent

L Embraced Paul's report to the
church. The historic sketch which
Paul presented to the Jerusalem
church concerning the early conquests
of the gospel, served to demonstrate
the amazing force of Christian truth
and the zeal with m Inch the apostles
undertook their ministry. It was
cause for rejoicing to know that
through Paul's instrumentality men
and women had turned from dumb
idols to serve the living God. There
was no demand made upon Paul to re-
nounce his advanced position. The
council held to their early decision
eoncerning Gentile converts. They re-
sisted the extreme Judaistic party in
their acquisceace with Paul. Their
brotherly salutation was a victory of
Christian love, a triumph of the won-
derful ways of Cod in the spread of
his kingdom and the realization of his
Wen of salvation. The address of
Peul contained a faithful report of his
own mission to tbe Gentile woeld. His
single aim and purity of mind and his
•ild'elity to his original call appeared in
bright and bold relief in all this.
II. Embraced Paul's example of de-
votion. When Paul reaclied Jeruselein
he found he had been preceded by the
report that he was opposed to allow-
ing Jewish Christians to observe any
of the old usages, He was suspected
of irregularity because he insisted on
adapting his labors to the exigencies
et the work he found to do in the
fields where he went to preach the
irospel. Paul's position had such com-
plex relations that it was difficult to
tie understood and almost certain to
he misrepresented. Undoubtedly he had
more really sympathy with Jewish re-
ligious ideas than many who condemn-
ed him. Paul denounced bigotry and
exclusiveness. but never the. Jewish
race with its distinctions. He preached
salvation by Jesus Christ alone as con-
trasted with the principle of salvation
by legal observances. James and the
elders perceived that a schismatic
spirit was rife and they were anxious
topromote concord. If they had sim-
ply and firmly given their public testi-
mony to their confidence in Paul and
explained the relations in which the
Gentle churches and their teachers.
stood to the Jewish churches and their
teachers. mistakes could have been
corrected, opposition prevented and
enake a party. They tried to. master
the difficulties by compromise, which
only left the old difficulty to find an-
other expression. The conciliatory
epirit of Christianity was evidenced in
the conduct of Paul. He took his place
among the Nazarites. not as a slave of
/minim ordinances. but in the might
of evangelical liberty; not as a dissem-
bler before the people, but in the min-
istry of brotherly love which bears
with the infirmities of the weak. His
design was entirely honorable and
kind. The Jews of Asia judged Paul's
teaching by their own narrow stared-
ards.
III. Embraced Paul's defence of the
gospel. The storm of passion threaten-
ed to swallow un the servant of God.
Paul was the most helpless man in
the crowd, yet he was the most tran-
quil. He was calm in hie conscious
apostleship. He was engaged in his
Master's work and could not there-
fore have cause to despair whalever
the crisis or obstacle. When the mob
nad beaten Paul with intent to kilL
the tidings speedily reached the Ro-
man officials. The Jews did not count
upon God as a factor at work in Paul's
behalf by using the Roman captain
as a safeguard until his work was
dcne. Paul stood before the chief cap -
.Lain with true dignity despite his
chains. He knew how to command his
respect. He knew how to avail himself
of the resources for safety. Paul mea-
sured the deadly purpose of his coun-
trymen far more adequately than the
Roman captain could have done, but
he faced the thrcng and heroically
tried to gain their attention and es-
teem. Roman discipline, as before, was
called upon to suppress mob violence
and thus give freedom to the gospel.
Paul showed remarkable tact in ad-
dressing a frenzied mob. An immedi-
ate result for good was brought -about
in Paul's opportunity to address the
multitude. Paul possessed heroic cour_
age, self-possession and patience.
Above all there was the light of div-

HUNS DELIGHTED
With Von Hindenburg's Ap-
pointment to Control.
--
Berlin Cable, via London-Em-
Peror William's appointment of Field
Marshal von Hindenburg as chief of
the German general staff is acclaimed
generally with enthusiastic satisfac-
tion. The Berlin newspapers unite
in saying that the Emperor has ful-
filled the long -cherished wish of the
German people, who aro declared to
have limitless confidence in the vic-
tor at Tanneburg, and Who expect
him to conduct the war to a success-
ful end.
It is assumed here that the appoint-
ment of von Hindenburg was chased -
ed with the present criticel Dille of
the war, and in consequence et the
situation created by the entry of Rou-
mania into the conflict. The riews-
papers give unstinted praise to Gen,
Eric von ralkenhayn, the) dismissed
chief of the Imperial general staff.
They give him credit, especially for
the successful Serbian eaMpaige, and
for reopening communications be-
ttneeh Germany and Bulgaria and
Turkey.
No guess is verdured in militarY
eircles regarding the new appointment
to succeed von IlindenbUrg in active

TROUBLE IN BERLIN
Changes in German Leaders
Climax of a Serious Dif-
ference at Home,
(By C. F. 13ertell.)
' Paris Cable,-Prench military ex
ports hail the Kaleer's dismiesiu of
General von Falkenhayn and the ap-
pointment of Field Marshal von Hin-
denburg to take his place as chief of
the general staff. as a din that things
are going wrong with elio German
army.
The official North German Gazette
hinted this week that the Germans
might withdraw from the great Noyou
salient in France. which the Somme
offensive is intended to obliterate.
It is pointed out that only if a
Popular hero like Hindenburg decreea
such a retreat would it be accepted
without trouble from the German
people.
Tee expectation is that it will be
Hindenburg's *strategy to begin short-
ening the German lines everywhere
Lieut. -Col. Roussel said towlaY:
"Hindenburg's appointment is a com-
plete surrender by the German court
party, headed by the Kaiser, to popu
lar opinion."
General Delacroix said: "The inci-
dent shows the German army is bad
Ly rattled.. Von Moltke was made tne
ecrapegoat for the Marne: Fallten-
nayn pays for the Verdun defeat and
the Russian offensive."
CLIMAX OF BITTER CONFLICT.
A Roumanian despatch sahs:
The military crisis in Germany is
reported on excellent authority to
have been the climax of a bitter con-
flict between Falkenhayn and Hinuen-
burg over the Verdun offensive.
Hindenburg was utterly opposed to
any offensive in France. but wanted
to strike immediately a blow at Rus-
sia. For this he was prepared, not
only with a plan a campaign. but
With preparations actually made be-
hind the front in Courland.
He made a demand on the General
Staff for additional forces to carry
out this enterprise, .but they were re-
fused him by Falkenhayn. and Hin-
denburg's plan was overruled in favor
of the offensive against Verdun.
Behind Falkenhayn in this disas-
trous decision was the German Crown
Prince. who is held by well informed
pereone to be really -responsible for
the colossal blunder of Verdun.
The fall of Falkenhayn is regarded
here as of the greatest significahce•
even imperilling the Hohenzollern dy-
nasty.
BERNHARDI IN COMDSAND,
Field Marshal von Hindenburg, am
cording to a despatch received here
to -day, recently removed the Austrian
Major-General Puhallo from command

vel section of the front in Volhynia

hard!. General von Bernhardt is one
of the best knoWn militate: writers of
Germany. In 1912 he wrote a book
entitled "Germany in the Next War,"
in which he forecasted many of the
main features of the present cam-
paign.
•
Despatches from Berlin received
at The Hague state that thirty Ger-
man generals have been dismissed as
a result of the appointment of Field
Marshal von HindenIntrg, as chief of
the general staff. The appointment
of General von Hindenburg and the
dismissal of General von Falkenhayn
from the headship of the general
staff have caused almost a panic in
Germany.
LET DOWN EASY.
The Imperial crdec addressed to
von Falkenhayn annoumncIng tho lat-
ter's removal as general of the Ger-
man Staff, reads as follows:
"Not wishing to oppose your desire
to be relieved of your office, I seize
this opportunity to thankyou heart-
ily for the devotion and loyalty you

your heavy and resonsible p office to
which you have devoted all your

The Kaiser addressed the following
to Field Marshal Hindenburg:
"I appoint you chief of staff of the

Angels fix the telescope, and ah, the
vision! They clothe with garments of
light; they dazzle with breastplates
that glow; they 'furnish a sword that
is self -sharpening, a shield that is
never pierced. Their presence and
equipment make one invincible, invul-
nerable; is not my horizon immensity?
Do they not minister the bread of the
living, the tonic of victory is ever ad-
ministered, the shoutings are never
heard, the songs are full of harmony,
the march is ever onward, the sea is
obedient, the winds are in control.
The sinners in Zion are afraid, rumor
te like ton thousand serpents stinging

command. "How many do you count
me for?" said a brave leader.
My lighthouse tower is lofty, it is

watch, I discover, I live in the light, I
study life. its meaning, its purpose, its
ever broadening reality. The light of
day is only a vestibule, leading to a
light that never was on sea or land,
a light found in the bosom of the de-
vout, whose distinguished hrivilege it
is to see the face of God. It is not our
thought e that extend to Him, but it is
His truth which descends from the
centre of ina.ceessible light to add it-
self to our thoughts. How calm the
contemplation, how intensb the appre-
ciation, what spiritual lexicons avail
to interpret and apply the remedies of
the evils of life.

London Cable. -Correspondence of

who has been up to the front of the

tish Women's Hospitals in the Eastern

Canadian Red Cross made me a splen-

"Everywhere I was treniendouslY

I saw several, and they were much
closer to the firing line than anyone
would imagine, the young men betng
constantly in the greatest peril, but
seeming to forget in their zeal all
about their personal safety."
Although she knew it in a vague
way, Miss Burke says that she did not
realize the great danger she was in at
Verdun, as she stood out mar the tqp
of the Citadel and watched tbe battle.
Men were falling within a few hundred
yards of her. "It was thrilling," she
said, "especially to see the big shells,
'rough -words' from Krupps, as the of-
ficers referred to them, falling on var-
ious sides. I do not retain 'impres-
sions' of any of them individually, but
one burst some 200 yards away from
where we st000d. It was a big one.
We did feel much safer when we were
in the comfortable and protected
vaults under the citadel. I think it
must have been the perfect ease and
lack of the slightest trace of anxiety
among the officers that set me so
much at my own ease during the terri-
fic cannonade of the big guns."
For her efforts in behalf of the Ser-
bians, Miss Burke has been made a

youngest on tbe roll. Her organiza-

ot the war. It comes at the most -
critical moment that the Teutonic,
empires have since the great conflict
oegan, as the lists of their foes have
just been added to by the interven-
tion of Italy and Roumania. While
even military critics in the allied
countries have been frank to concede
throughout the two years of the war
that von Hindenburg was the ablest
military genius at :he Kaiser's com-
mand, the Berlin announcement that
von Falkenhayn has been dismissed
is significant. There has been a strong
movement afoot in Germany for
many months with a view to placing
von Hindenburg at the head of the
.general staff. and powerful influences
have been brought ta bear toward
that end.
German newspapers, copies of
which reached this country recently,
indicated "between the lines" of the
zomment by military critics that
Hindenburg's presence in Russia', in
actual command of the German arm-
ies in the east, was more essential
than anything else. It was pointed
out that it was chiefly his presence
there and the fear of his plaris that
kept Roumania from siding with tho
Jellies, despite the victories of Gen.
Brusiloff. Curiously enough, the
changeis made a day after Roumania
has entered into the war.
Last month the Field Marshal was
Placed in supreme command of the
Cerman-Austrian 'armies from the
Baltic to Galicia, thus simerseding
the Austrian high command.
Gen. Falkenhayn has been chief of
the general staff since the retirement
early in tbe war of Count Helmuth
von Moltke, whose "illness" wns gen-
°ray attributed to the outcome of
the Marue battle.

One Single Night.

Asylums Filled With Vic -
time of Fear,
London, Aug. 3L -London is taking
the announcement of more stringent
lighting regulatioae, beginniug Sept.
let, with a calm and phlegmatic ac-
ceptance of the inevitable, however
disagreeable. Nobody likes the present
darkened streets, but even those per-
sons who at one time thought the au-
theritiee were erring cn tbe side of
exchseive precaution now agree that
the balance of evidence seems to fav-
-or the official contention that uniform
Lighting regulations throughout the
country deceive the Zeppelin com-
manders.
It is pointed out here that the Ger-
mans will probably believe that the
further reduction of lighting in Lon-
don is an outcome of the British in-
ability to drive the raiders away, but,
as one paper observes. Germany is
welcome to such satiefaction .ae she
can derive from that incorrect as-
sumption. The following report of the
effect d the last Zeppelin raids in the
Madgeburgieche Zeitung, printed on
"the authority of a neutral," is repub-
lished here with the remark that "one
cannot fathom the mind of a public
among whom it is possible to print.
such stuff."
"An li'nglish doctor who has made
obeervatioue based on carefully col-
lected data says that after each Zep-
pelin raid on London the number of
insane increases in a most frightful
manner, The sanitariums and lunatic
anylums are full to overflowing, so
that the wounded from the front ean
find no room there.
"Some say that in the Zeppelin raid
of Aug. 1 over 6,000 persons were ire
Aired. On the night of Aug. 15.000 per-
sons are alleged to have been killed.
The eetimates of the material damage
caused also vary. Some assert very de-
finitely that in the two nights dam-
age amounting to 37,500,000 was
caused. The main damage seems to
have been catised in the district be-
tween the Charing Crows Bridge and
the Waterloo Bridge, Somerset House
and the Strand, then round the Tower,
London Bridge, the Custom House,
etc.
"Of course, everybody who can af-
ford it is leaving London."

their line on the Cane Plateau as a
result of local actiona. The nate-
meld follows:
"The hostile artillery tombarded
our poiltions continuously between
the Adige 'and the Brenta. They
shelled Ala, Arstero and Seghe.
"In the Fosse, area our Aplini ex-
tended their occupation of the crest
northeast of Caurioi, taking twenty -
elle prisoners, a trenen mortar and
numerous rifles. The enemy's artil-
lery opened a heavy Eire on Cowen,
which was effectively answered by
ours.
"At the head of the Iselizon Valley
we brilliantly attacked and carried
some strong trenches on the northern
slopes of Punta de Femme' and at
ithe bottom of the valley. The enemy
suffered heavily and left 117 prisoners,
including three officers, in our hands.
"On the rest of the front there
wen desultory artillery actions. The
enemy shelled Goritz, 'Wentzell and
°livers intermittently.
"On the Carso small -actions enabled
un to straighten out onr line. Enemy
aeroplanes bombed A.Ileghe and Lagon
Manor, wounded a few persons and
carsed slight damage."
A GOOD FISH STORY.
Lord Buxton, the Clovernor-Oeneral
of South Africa, is an ardent disciple
of. Izaak Walton, and ho tells many
good fishing yarns. One of his favor -
lies is about an angler who ono day
had four hours' tussle with a huge
salmon before he was able to land it.
When at last he had made (*tire of
his catch he took it home In ecstasy
and related his triumph to his
maiden aunt. Of course, like all fish-
ermen he made as mdch of the e.tory
as possible, and laid special etress on
tbe Gine it took and the ieitnetise
energy he had to expend before he
could bring the salmon safely to
land. When he had finished.he waited
aiwdously for the pritlee this to his
eleverness and heroism. For some
ieleniehta then Was ellence, Oa thee
his aunt looked .up from her, knitting
evith a puzzled eeptestsiote on her.
