TO PREVENT HER EXTERMINATION
But Xing Ferdinand fiays in+

Loyal to the Entente,
Lonclon cable: The Times pub-
lishes an interview, given to its cor-
respondent with the Roumanian army
by the King of Roumania, in which
the =much a.ppeale to the Allies not

"The Roumeniane will nct falter,"
the king eaid, "in their allegiance to
the eause, nor Can he en.eray wean
them from their faith in their Al-
lies. Yet the Roumanians pray that in
spite of their existing exigencies and
their owa_huge problems, the .Allies
will hot allow the affairs of Rouman-
ia, who has staked her all in this con-
flict, to pees into the back, of their
minds, and to euffer that she may
meet the fate of either Belgium or
Serbia."
King Ferdinand geld that Roumania,
had been pitoved to enter the war by
mere expediency, but that her decis-
ion was based on the biggest princi-
ples of nationality.
"Agaiust Germany," continued hie
majesty, "there was, at the beginning
of the war, no hostility, rather, per-
haps, friendehip, for economically Ger-
many was an aeleet to the dot Cerement •
of our industry, and a potent iestru-
ment in forwarding the prosperity of
our country. But with the progress of
the war, Roumania. began to feel the
subtle force of enemy intrigue endea-
voring in every way to force ue into
the struggle against our own real in-
terests.
"It Roumania has been criticised
heretofore, let the world coneider her
poeition. A small power, with a Sinall
army, surrounded by giants, faced a
praetical problem. With a western
frontier nearly 700 miles long, which -
alone was greater than the Englieh
and French fronts combined, and Bul-
garian frontiers, elmest undefended
and near her capital, stretching for
otner huadreds ot mile; to the Gorth,
She had to await the time when she
could act with reasonable acearance
of protepting herself and of ha' ng the
support of her &Bea.
"A small country in a greet War.
which promises to last for at least
another year, faces certainty interna
sacrifice, and the consumption of her
resources. But such is the confidence
bf Roumania, in the justice of her
cause, and the faith of her allies, that
eke has cast her lot with them, in
the conviction that her great associ-
ates will see that she does not prove
to be the third small power destroyed
In this great conflict.'

Paul's Defense before • Agrippa. --
Acts 26: 1-32.
Commentary.—I. Paul's Jewish prin.-
,ciples (es. 1-110 1. Agrippa—This was
Herod Agrippa II., the grandson of
Herod the Great. He had jurisdiction.
of the provinces lying north of Pales-
tine and also of Galilee and Pedea,
and bore the title of king. He was ap-
pointed by the Roman emperor. He
was a Jew and sought to secure the
favor of' the Jewish population* og his
a Festus, the net ly-
'tinge:tile He was at Caesarea atris
time as the guest
appointed governor of Judea.. ;weld
unto Paul—When Festus told Agglpa
about Paul, the king expressed a•.de-
sire to her him, and this ocension
gave the opportunity. Agrippa peesid
ed at the meeting, and after Annus
had introdueed Paul to Agrippa, /the
king gave the apostle the privilege of
making his defense. Stretched fnrth
the hand—This act indicated thath he
was about to speak and that he ire-
spectfully asked for the attention: of
those present. Answered for himself—
Agrippa had heard from Festus, and
rerhaps from others also, about Paul,
but now Paul was about to give an
account of himself, presenting his case
from his own point of view. He had
no hesitancy about telling Agrippa
what the Lord lead done for him and
what had come upon him in conee-
ettence of his becoming a -Christian,
2-11. The apostle was Mad to have
the privilege of speaking before Her-
od, tor the king was acquainted with
the scriptures, and the beliefs and
rractises of the Jews, and he wculd be
able to unneretand his arguthent and
osition better than one who was a
Gentile. Paul was a jew and belonged
to the sect of the Pharisees, who were
cereal in adherime to Jewish customs.
He had been condemned by his people
for preaching what they considered a
row and strange doctrine, but it was
the doetrine of the scriptures, that
Christ 'should appear as the Redeemer
ef the world; hence Pep' was doing
nothing contrary to the word of God.
Ile proceeds to relate his experience ae
a hater of Christianety and shows
that he formerly persecuted the eol-
lowers of Jesus. as the Jews were then
doing. He was so zealous for Judaient
that he gave himself up to searehing
out and puelehing all whom he mule
find that were believers in Jerres.
Patties recital at his mad zeal in per -
scouting the sect of Christians- would
show his hearers that. he was formerly
a most hearty exponent of Judaism.
His early prejudices were altogether
against the course welch had Ied him
Into conflict with the Sewish leaders.
Nothing Was further from his purpose
in early life than to become a defend -
of the people who were later tailed
Christian. -
IL His conversation (vs. 12-18.)
Paul's Statement regarding his early
training and hie former attitude to-
ward Christianity prepared the Way
for the next argument in his defebse.
'While he Was On one of his tours of
Permeation, he met 3eaus himself, Ho
elm a light from heaven that was
brighter tnan the sun at midday, and
be and all that were with hint fell to
the earth. Ile heard a Veldt speakMg
to him personally and eayleg, "Saul,
Scut, why persetutest thou mei it is
hard for thee to kick against the
pricks" (v. 14.) In anewer to hie in-
quiry the speaker said, "1 am hem
'whom thou persecutest." Jesus told
him what lie should do, and from Ache
IS and 22, we learn the detalle of the
change that eante over him. ,leturi ex-
plained to him why he had appefired
Io him. It was that he might become
an apostle of the Gentiles. He was to
Ceclare to them the gospel and "to
turn theta from darkness to light, and

from „the iiewer at Satan unto Gotl."
The Lord Jesus had arrested e• fierce

IIL Preaching tue geseel (vs, 19-23.)
Paul is now count% to h statement ot
the cnarges that stood against him, At
his cerivereion be received the yielon
a what life Meant to ltim end to the
world, and he "Was not dieobedient,"
but begaa at once to declare the Mos-
sialhip of Jeeus and proclaimed a

nee as a condition of salvation. It
was for preaceiug the great. end say-
ing truths of the .gospel that the Jews
Lad raised a storm of opposition
bgainst hen,. and were trying to have
tem put to death. Paul attributed his
preservation to the special are of
God. He had made it a practise to
preach ta an with whom he came in
contact the great truths of Christian-
ity, basing all his utterances upon the
ecriptures. He preached Christ, his
sufferings, his death, and ins resurrec-
tion bemuse "the prophets and Mena.'

c na he became hencetorward a preach-
er of his gosoel. Hie vlsion had so
changed his outlook that he ewe
. nothing to compare with Jesus Christ
t eild the salvation he had brought to
Jew and Gentile alike.
IV, Appeal to Agritma (vs. 2442),
24, Festue said with a loud voice —The
procurator of Judea was impressed
with Paul's earneetnees, but thought
he was talking fooliehness, and de.
cided that it was time to stop hen.
Therefore with much earnestnese he
addressed the prisoner. Much learning
cloth make thee inad—trestus had just
declared that Paul was beside Mineola
and in this sentence states the (muse
of what lie thought was insitnity, The
apostle had quoted from the seripteres,
tbus showing his familiarity with
them, and Pestles hastay formed the
conclusion that he was beside him-
ehif from, too much study. It is not
uncommon in modein times for the
iworld to accuse Clariettans of being
tseside themselves. 25. Words of truth
and soberness—Festus was a pagan,
end consequently the gospel seemed
to Iiiin an idle tale, bet Paul assured
him that what he had been saying was
true and weighty. 26. The king know.
eth of these thingsa-Pani skin:1111S
turned to Agrippa for confirmation of
what he had said, for he, beingea Jew,
wculd be acquainted with the scrip-
tures and would know about the cone
ing of Christ aria the spread of the
goepel. 'Plus thing was not done in a
coriter—Of the truth of this we can
be eure from the excitement caused
both in the religious and eolitical
eerid by the work of Jesus during his

teaching, which radminated in a
trial in which both Jewish and Roman
rungistrates were consulted, a.nct by
the exclamation of the Pharisees (John
l2: 10), "The world ietgoae after him,"
end the declaration (Acts 77: '6),
"These that have turned the werld

Revest thou the prophets—Herod was
a Jew and as such woul.d be supposed
to accept the scriptures. Paul hastened
to answer the question himself. Herod
deEired to stand well with the Jaws,
pint this fact would leacl him to believe
the prophets, at 'east nominally.
Whatever was the nature of Herod's
eeliet, it is evident that it did not

a censistent Jew.
28. Almost thou pereuadest me to be
a Christian—Many modern commenta-
tors hold that Agrippa Gpoke derisive-
ly to Paul of his efforts to make him
one of the desifised sett. The language
afforde some ground for that conclu-
ilea, but what Paul says in the next
veree shows that he considered that
Agrippa spoke with seriousness. Chry-
ecetom and many able and pious
veritere since his day hold to the idea
that Agrippa was in reality almost
persuaded to become a Christian. This
view seems to be well founded. 29, I
-Would to God, etc.—Paul was Christ's
ambaasador before the officials who
were listening to him. He was intense-
ly in earneet to bare them become
Christians, He would desire for them
What. the gospel had done for him,
only that they should not be prises:tem
for the gospel's sake, as he was. SO.
The king rose up—The hearing wae
over and the time had come for de-*
liberation. 31. Nothing worthy of
death or of bond—Both Festus and
Agrippa were struck by the, sincerity
and authority' of the apostle, and were
agreed that he was an innocent inan.
82. Might have been set at liberty —
There were no juat grounds for hold -
:rig Paul as a prisoner. He appealed to
Caesar because Festus spoke of re-
turning him, to Jerusalem to be tried
again there. The apostle chase to ap-
pear before Caeear rather than te put
Affnecif in the hands of the blood-
• thirsty Jews. Having appealed to Cae-
,elir he could not be set free by Weenie.

le Defined the way of salvation,
Paul exnibited remarkable skill in the
adaptation of his defences before the
different raters, The btst defence he
could make ,in his Interview with
Agrippa was an appeal to the know-
-redo and conscienceof his country.
,reati, By a system •of gradual ap-
proaches the citadel of 'Agrippa's
heart was besieged. Directness, gen-
tleness, fervor and masterly skill
characterized his presentation of the
truth. Paul was 11111feet:11Y callet,
courteous, conciliatory, quick to see
and prompt to seize every favorable
opportunity, adapting hinteelf to the

was placed. Ire maintained his ewe

boldness of a pure conscience and the
energy of an invineible courage. A
pure and fervent desire filled his soul
that all whom he Could in any way
affect might be blessed by the trinoh-
ling truth which the risen Saviour
had revealed to him. Though Alleak-
ing of his own experience Paul WAS all:
the while preaching the whole gospel

and the commission he received were

blindness of sin in teeetue looked at
the wisdom et God and mistook it for

greatness ot the seems' facts and

would have been inednese. He was uot
abashed by the suditen outbreak of
aheetus, nor did he give way to unsuit-
able or injudicious re -nutmeat. He
replied calmly and nith Menne to the

testimony of the power of grace in hie

did not occur to them that the hour
spent in hearing Paul would be one
linked with • their destiny. Feetue
charged Paul with madnesa. Agrippa
admitted the persuasiveness of Paul's
mariching. To the Gentile the gospel
was foolishness, to the apostate Jew it
was the voice of God to his slum-
bering conscience. As offenders against
ieoci, Paul was trying Omni at the bar
cf gospel truth. They were exatnples
of souls close to the light, yet passing
into darkness. Agrippa closed the
luterview with a remark intended to
be pleasing to the speaker and went
his way. He missed the blessing

by Great Britain. and the Uenteci etates

Referring to reports of meetings be-
tween Sir Richard Crawford, commer-
cial attache of the British 'embassy at
Washington, with American bankers
and business mem, Lord Robert said
no departure, in principle had been
made -from th,e British blockade rnea-
sures, but it could be safely said that
the general policy leaned in the di-
rection of a modification rather than
an exteneion of the- blacklist. The
reply .to the American blacklist note
was now on the way to Washington,
and this answered the American criti-
cism of the principles behind the mea-
sure. As regards the administration
of the blecklist, Lord Hebert said
Washington had forwarded very few
individual complaints about it.

Britain is Violating its equal treat-
ment provisions of the Anglo-Ameri-

for similar goods, Lord Robert Cecil
said that such restrictions were in the
hands of the Board of Trade, but that
he was personally of the opinion that
suck treaties lost validity during a
state of war.
OLD MILITARIST DEVICE'.
Continuing, the Minister of War
Trade said:
"German public opinion appears to
be obsessed with the idea that the
way to deal with the .Allied blockade
is to have a succession of sudden
crises with neutrals, which may be
.used for !striking diplomatic bargains.
These bargains, in the minds of Ger-
niany, always takes one form—that
Germany is to refrain from violating
international law and humanity in re-
turn for the abandonment by Great
Britain as towards neuttals of the
legitimate military and naval meas-
ures of the Allies.
"In the last few weeks there has
been a recrudescence of this idea in
Germany, coupled with a good deal of
talk of peace and mediation, and the
Press of the whole world is now con-
jecturing that the appearance of a
submarine off the coast of the United
States is the first step in a new at-
tempt at a bargain of owe kind. It
is an ingenious idea, but it does not
have the advantage of being ,novel
among nations. It hes been the us-
ual device resorted to from time to
time by Inittarist Governments which
have substituted might for right, Na-
poleon tried it with his Milan decrees
and it failed then, as it will fail now.
-The weole of the recent German
foreign policy has proceeded on the
mule principle. Mao -Chau, Agadir,
the mailed fist and ahining armor are
examples of the ihternational pro-
cedure. In prieate life it is called
blackmail. It may be well to say at
once in answer to these German ideas
of international diplomacy that the
sinking of Ships off Nantucket is pre-
cisely calculated to prove at once the
danger of any concessions by the al-
lies, and the injustice of the many
American criticisms levelled againet
our naval and military meaeuree.
DEUTSCHLAND'S CARGO.
"Three weeks ago Americans might
have argued that the presence of
British cruisers in American waters
just outside the three-mile limit was,
in view of the present stage of the
Ivan, merely a petty annoyance. What
has happened Is a sufficient cone
mentery on that argument. Agaite
Americana have suggested that our
trading with the enemy regulation
and our refusal to allow British goods
to go to certain firms in America is
also petty and unnecessary.
"That sounded reasonable a week
before tbe Deutshhland appeared in -an
American harbor, but when I tell you
that tho Deutschland took on board in
America certain vitally necessary me-
tals, of Which there is a seriotio short-
age in Germany for munition . pur-

And not expect the sad?
Why not believe the best?
Why be so swift to blame?
Why Jet a mist of bitterness
Gather around a name?
Why should not you be advocate
In the cOld.COUrt of men,
And plead a brother's, sister's cause,
So wak'ning trust again?
BOUGHT WITH A PRICE.
Behold the Lamle of God, which tak-
eth away the sin of tbe world, The
blood of the learnt). The precious blood
of .Christ, as of a lamb without blem-
ish and without spot.
Without shedding of blood is no re-
mission. The blood of Jesus Christ
his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
By his own blood he entered in once
into the holy place, having obtained
eternal redemption for us. Having
therefore, brethren, boldness to enter
Into the holiest by the bleed of Jesus,
by a new and living way, which he
'lath consecrated for us, through the
veil, that is to say, his flesh; let tie
draw near with a true heart in full as•
suraime of faith.
Ye are bought with a price; there-
-fore glorify God in your body, and in
your spirit, which are Gars.
MARKS.
Birth marks, trade marks, sacred
marks; marks of royalty, dignity, de-
gradation, of ownership, scholarship,
friendship. The Oriental buys sheep;
they go through a narrow paseage in
single flle; he holds a mop with tome
paint on it; he lots it fall on each that
is going under the rod; he merks
them for his own. •
The deetrbying angel passes over;
he keeps a sharp look -out for the
marks on the door post. "When I see
the blood I will pass over you," Oh!
distinguishing grace!
The first born ot Eve had a mark.
Angel—The Lord thy God and mine
commandeth me to set His seal on
Cain.
Cain—What wouldst thoti?
Angel—To mark upon him exemm
tion from such as thott hast done.
Caln—It burns my brow, but that Is
nought to the fire that burns within.
But God has His marks ef approval
and sanction, He marks His people
ene their forehead. The forehead is
the mark of a man. Istb other creature
beans this smooth -domed arehltrave.
Birds leek the forehead altogether,
and beasts have heavy frontals, but
not the arched dente on which a name
may be written. The humblest hu-
man brow is far removed from that of
the noblest ape; on an itpe'S brow
nothing can be 'written, but on the
man's le at least this; That Ito is a
man,
The darkest hour cf the world is
that seamed, blighted, blatned front
of the imperial being. "How art then
Innen from heaven, 0 Lucifer, son of
the morning."
Let 11136 be careful that We do riot
disfigure the betty, foe it Is nutae in
the 'Map of God. There was an eld
teller in the pagan world; it Ilea been
transferred to the Christian Chureh.
Metrics and blotters have been guilty
et self-tortpre. What do you think of
a bracelet on the twin, worn secretly
and not Iliseovered till after death.
When the wearer Wanted to thastise
his soul, he would nip it mid produce
fresh wounds for the geed of his spirit.
Think it midi over, Arid ask, can the
inner man be benefitted by enelt
istry?
"Who is to be the tomitip; taint? Is

Food Shortage Serious, but
Not Vet Uncomfortable,
"Starving Babies" Whine
Was All a Lie.
London cable: Germany's food
situation is dealt 'with at length in
yesterday's instalment of D. 'Peonies
Uurtin's article in the Times, based on
his obServatlons in the war -bound
country. Ile says the lack of food is
riot yet serious, but very uucomfort-
able.
•'it is the absence of fats. not the
absence of meat. that hurts the peo-
ple," the writer continues. ' War bread
without butter and acorn 'coffee'

breakfast that is monotonous, if not
infaeu. seating. Cooking without
grettee of any kind taxes the cleverest
lioiisew"There is one kind of fat in Ger-
many the importation of which cannot
be stopped. It is olive or cononeeed
oil in which the Norwegian sardines
aro preserved. These sardines are
being stored all over no empire for
Ude coming siege, as my American
friends be Berlin call It.
"Having eaten sardines. I find teem
a rather fattening diet, but alter 30 or
40 meals of them one uses the oil for
frying and throws away the sardines.
Unfortunately the ell imparts the
flavor of sardines to anything nooked
in it. The stoppage of the sardines
and other such imports would mater-
ially affect the length of the war,"
Chocolate and LIOCOft are abundant
everywhere, says Mr. Curtin, and Ger-
many has immense stores of them. The
army and navy on active service are
fed abundantly. but the reserves and
landsturm men are . on very short
rations. Decent meals are alwitys to
be obtained on trains at the old prices,
but thist is for the benefit of travelling
entralS. Wealthy agrioulturcillets ap-
parently have plenty.
"At one time the Germans tried to
stir American sympathy," Pays Mr.
Curtin, "by the statement that Ger.
man babies were being deprived of
milk, but the fact is that no German
child has ever suffered fram the block-
ade. Fresh milk is to be had every=
where for babies. Wines and :glints,
even Scotch whiskey. are plentiful,
though the latter is neterine out be-
cause of the demands of German offi-
cer!: and travelling Alnericans."
Mr. Curtin mentions as indication
of the growing food • stringency •in
Germany the juggling with moat and
bread tickets. the theft of whitn bas
begun. The depots for their distribu-
tion have boon broken into and
robbed, he says. and friends who wish
Lo make giftsnow snake nresente of
food or food tickets. The writer says
severe privation is coining and that
thoughtful neutrals think the kindest
way to help to end this war is to watch
narrowly the imports of oil.
"A certain measure of gaiety Pre:
vails in Berlin." Mr. Curtin writes'.
"though it is meet organized. The
city is brilliantly lighted, in contrast
with the darkness of London. Horse
racing is steadily maintained for the
purpose • of keeping up appearances.

amount of money is circulating. and
