Lendon cable: (Montreal Gazette
cable.) -An Amsterdam despatch to
the Daily Mail says:
"Tuesday's iseue of Germania, of
Berlin, the organ of the Catholic party,

made at a meeting of Count von Re-
ventlow's independent cotemittee for
Germ= peace terms,
"On Sunday night the chairman„ Pro-
feesor Schafer, said that the deputa-
tion had an interview with tile Caen -
cellos' on Sept. 14, when they tlenianded
DM immediate opening of a ruthless
submarine campaign, %end 'expressed
want of confidence, owing to the Chan-
cellor's lack of firmness against Eng-
land and America.' In reply the Chan.
cellor said that he also considered
England the chief enemy, but 'for
political and military reasons could
not yet begin ruthle.se eubmarining.'
'Ji e had, he said, been reproached
coreerning the Kaiser's letter to Presi-
dent Wilson of September, 1e14, re-
garding the use by the French a dum-
eum bullets. He admitted this letter
was a mistake of the Kaiser'S. Prof.
Schafer onded by flaying that sub•
raarining would be uselass unless it
began immediately.
"Count von Reventlew bitterly at-
tacked Von Helfferich, and mid the
German Government not only deliber-
ately encouraged publicatioa -in Ger-
many of American newspaper protests
. 'whenever a ehip was sunk in ebich
the United States was interested. 'but
he would also go so far as to say that
the American press was encouraged
by the Germa.n Government to publish
these protests.' Naturallye be con-
tinued, the position of the present
Chancellor ie important, but it seems
to me ite importance is being exagger-
ated, alaci we ought not to overlook
the pogitioti of the present Vice-Chan-

strutted. by Hindenburg to inform
the meeting that the field marshal
requested it to abandon all agitation

words completely changed the tone
of the meeting, subsequent speakers

mises, so as not to endanger the de.

tion of the assault on the Govern-
ment,' von Reventlow continued,
"Count von Reventlow argued that
the best plan for the committee would
be to see that relinble material was
'got secretly' to Hindenburg. (The
German word is `zusteckene which
practically means smuggling it into
Hindenburg's pocket without his
knowledge.)
"He believed that such material
which would combat the Chancellor's
views, would be welcome to the heads
of the army,
"The importance of the main Ms-

ternary to send certain prisoners from
the various Roman provinces to Route.

prisoners were from high pee3itions,

charge of julius, a Roman centurion,
they were being taken to Rome. A
ship was found. that was to sail from
Caesarea to a Point west of Asia Min-
or, On this Julius and his prisoners
took passage and Bailed along the
coast of Palestine by Sidon and east
and north of Cyprus to Myra, a port
of Lyda in Asia Minor, This Was the
route which ships from Egypt took in
sailing to Rome during the late sum-
mer and the early autumn, since the
dangers of navigation were less by
that course than by the direct route,
The eenturion found a ship, laden
with wheat, that ' was sailing from
Alexandria to Rome, and on to this he
and his prisoners took passage. On ac-
count of adverse winds, the progress
of the ship was slow. The course was
westward to Snidus as the soutnwest-
ern point of Asia Minor, thence in a
southerly direction around the eastern
extremity of Crete under the shelter
of the island as far as to Fair Havens,
the port of Lasea. This was about
midway of the southern coast of Crete.
Paul's advice was that the ship re-
main at Fair Havens during the win-
ter, and, that no attempt be made to
sail furtlaer, for the stormy secteou had

PRACTICAL SURVEY.
Topic. -Paul's protection in peril.
I. Gave opportunity for witnessing,
II, Gave opportunity for leederebip.
I. Gave opportunity f or wituessing.
Paul's determination that he would
sail to Italy was, on the human side,
the result of hie purpose to disappoint
the murderous treachery of the Jew,
but above that was God's purpose that
the goepel should be more fully
Preached, not only in Rome, but in all
the .empire. Paul was living for Christ
and as His ambassador, he was cell-
fident that he would reach hls des-
tination. He was the one calm watcher
of everything that transpired on the
perilous journey winch should finally
bring him to Rome. We ,have studied
Paul in many poeitions, noticed his
activity, boldness, wisdom, faith,
charity, devotion, skill and patience.
In this crisis he combined them all.
He stood forth before that ship's com-
pany, the world in miniature, to
teach them that the world was gov-
erned by Providence and not by fate.
Paul belonged to God by a pereonal
consecration. He put implicit confi-
dence in His word. He trueted Him
whom ho served. The storm revealed
the weaknoes and selfishness of the
seamen. It revealed the moral grand-
eur of Paul's character. He positively
and publicly committed himself to the
statement thateGod had promieed him
all who sailed with him. Paul's every
word expressed an unfaltering faith
in him to whom he had committed
himself. Paul's faith appeared in the
ready regard which he paid to the
testimony of the angel, although cir-
cumstances at the time seemed direct-
ly opposed to its fulfilment. There was
no attempt to magnify himeelf by con-
cealing the source of hie prophetic as-
surance. He attributed nothing to his
own wisdom or power. He ascribed the
honor entirely to God. Ali the essen-
tials of Christian faith and practice
vvere contained in Paul's words,
"Who's() I am, and whom I eerve."
II. Gave .opportunity tor' leadership.
Having shown his interest in everY
preparation at the beginning of the
voyage, Paul would not leave the post
of danger in the hour of trial. He had
a high and noble idea of service, Un-
til that dark night of the utter 'fail-
ure of hope, except from God, the
apostle spoke caly as a -Wise and judi-
cious eounselor. Then he spoke as
from the mouth of God and they could
not gainsay his words. While the tem-
pest was so furious that despond-
ency took pesseesion of the crew, the
aptetle came forth to cheer their
hearts as his own. had been cheered,
by declaring that no man's life ehould
be lose When Paul was taken on
board that vessel, none was lees re-
garded than he. In the tempest he
arose as a prince among men. Faith
made him master of the ship's com-
pany. • He -took the responsibility of
the whole situation. The prisoner
Paul became the central figure. He
was the man of the hour. He not only
commanded respect, but practical
obedience from all. He had resources
of strength and comfort that thoee
around him had not and. thus he be-
came their comforter and adveser.
While others were struggling for
themselves, Paul's great nature was
all concern in behalf of his suffering
companions, The centurion, accustom-
ed to speak with authority, became
the obedient servant of his prisoner.
Paul was the man whoee heart tailed

the sailors to zeize the boat and leave
the passengers to their fate. It was
again the Christien apostle whose
ready disternment end calm prompti-
tude averted the danger. Beyond that
a formidable danger threatened Paul's
life, It was the couttsel of the soldiers
to kill the prisoners lest they ehould
eaeape at landing. Their suggestion
was truetrated by the centurion Julius.

Roman centurion, les evieently was

thus God' a promiee to Paul to give
him all the ehip's eonipany was ful-

HE REMEMBERETH THAT Whl
ARE DUST.
The Lord God toropea man of the
duet of the ground, "M breathed into
Itis nostrils the breath of life: anti
man beettrue a living soul.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully
and wonderfully made; marvellous are
thy walks, and that my soul knoweth
right well. My eubetance was not hicl
from thee, when I was made in secret.
Thine oyes did see my gubstance, yet
being imperfect; and in thy book all
my members were written, which in
continuance were fashioned, when as
yet there was none of them.
Have we not all one father? hath
not oae C403 ereated us? In Him we
live, and move, and have our being.
Like as a father pitieth his children,
so the Lord pitieth them that .fear
him.
Ile, being full of compassion. for-
gave their Iniquity, and destroyed
them not; yea, many a time turned he
les anger away, and did not stir up all
his wrath. For he remembered that
they were but flesh; a wind that pass-
eth away, and cometh not again.
Pelting debit) says: A scitlare Mile of
territory adjoining the rreneh eonees-
Sion at Tien-Tsin has been forcibly
Seized by the French Consul with the
assistance of troops. The Chihese
police Were arrested, and VreneliMen
substituted for them. Replying to a
protest from the Chinese Foreign Of-
fice, the Prench Legation at Pelting
replied it' aemtmed the responsibility
for the option.
You can pave the way with good
intentions, but they don't always
stand heavy travel.

SUGAR MARKET.
The wholesale sugar market is very
strong. A twenty -cent advance was
tne.ae yesterday, and the likelihood is that
a furtaer advance will take place over
the week -end.
American refined has become steadily
strenger under insistent export demand,
and the advance In rams made the higher
price for refined a necessity.

POOR AND WISE.
Shall I draw the portealt of a poor'
wise ina,n? I have more than one to
give me a sitting. My friend is poor
iu pocket and rich in thought, ,one
who measures life by loss instead ot
gain, not by the wine drunk, but the
wine poured forth; the strength of
love standeth in love's sacrifice. This
man stands in the image of God, cool,
humble,. defiant, with vision strong
and clear. This man has a history;
he suffered much, he had much to
:live, his sorrows shook the heavens,
while earth grew giddy at Ills lightest
laugh. He is the world's master, be -
celiac he despises it. He rideth easily,
because he is carried, he bears the
cross cheerfully and finds the cross
bears him. Ile thinks hienself happy,
and he is happy: This poor wise man
has followed these maxims: "No one
virtue should usurp the sphere of an-
other, affection must not smother
modesty, courage must not elbow
meeknese out of the field. modesty
must not jostle energy, patience must
not slaughter resolution, public use.
fellness must not injure private piety.
Take care to know your place, take It.
and keen it.
Needless to say this man exerts in-
fluence; he knows a little, he is ig-
norant of more, he will gather all,
The power of life over life is startling.
There -have been single looks of an
eye which have changed a destiny;
there have been meetings for a Mee
anent .which have left impressions for
life. for eternity. No one can under-
stand that mysterious thing we call
influence. It, is embodied in a thou-
sand passages of Holy Scripture. It
goes with us wherever we go; it is
eomething we unconsciously exert up-
on others, like perfume from a flower,
Every moment's time living, every
victory we win over self, or sin, every
fragment of sweet life we live, makes
It easier for others to be brave and
true and nweet. We are unceasingly
exerting 'unconscious influence upcn
one another. Insensibly to themselves,
they are moulding one another's char-
acter, conduet and destiny. The in-
stinct of imitation, based upon this, is
one of the most powerful in human
nature, moulding the form of tociety
and determining the kind and degree
of civilization.
Our poor -wise man has much pity,
and it increases every day:. One thing
I learned of him was the play -actors,
whose portraits- are given in the pa-
pers. He well knows the labor of that
exhausting profession. These artists
are gifted', clever, indestrious: they
feed ambition, they love' • applause,
they Wee in the footlights. But how
:horn heartrending and disastrous the
'career of many! The beauty of next
week will eclipse the beauty of this,
and, like the dew of the morning, they
melt away. Our poor Wise man is a
student of beauty Lavaler says, "God
fixes all of a man's features for him
except his mouth: attics he Can
change." It cite be Matted by the 'curl
of scorn and the pout of discontent;
or it can wear the beauty of Cupid's
bow. Delearte says there are 100 Ox.
