War and Aid Rapprochement With Britain. 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, publishes, an account of revelations 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 .

He was ire strutted. by Hindenburg to inform the meeting that the field marshal requested it to abandon all agitation for a, more ruthless prosecution of the submariae campaign, Duisberg's words completely changed the tone of the meeting, subsequent speakers considering in view of Hindenburg'b request that they could not press their demand. Up jumped Count von Reventlow, who proceeded to put a new face on the matter. He argued that doubt- less Hindenburg was expressiug his Personal convictious in making this request, but whose fault was it that Hindenburg had these „convictions? Why, of course, the Chancellor's, The Imperial Goverament gave Hinden. burg false promises, and, as Revent. low believed, deliberately false pro- mises, so as not to endanger the de. sired rapprochement with England. " 'Hindenburg's request was, O. course, based ofr the fearthat somo other neutrals, especially the United States, would turn against Germany, These fears are typical of the weak- ness of our government, therefore the programme must be a continua. 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- oloeures in this extraordinary debate Is clear. It seems evident that the submarining of ships off the Amere ca e coe.st was deliberately undertak. en to arouse neutral indignation, which would be properly reflected by the Government's press."

The Voyage.---Aets 27: 1-38, CoulnIeietary.-1, mrom Octontree, to Fair Haveas (vs, 1-1), It was cus- ternary to send certain prisoners from the various Roman provinces to Route. Suclt prisoners were those who bad ape Pealed to Caesar and those who were guilt/ of political crimes. Some of the prisoners were from high pee3itions, and others were probebly deoperate charactere. Paul was a prisoner in common With the fest, and, under the 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 arrived. II. The storm (vs, 18-20). 18.

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 him not, and who revived the hea:rts of othera. He was the preacher of comfort and of courage, the confident prophet 01 hope and safety. He was the genuinely religious man. Added peril eetene in the eelfish project sof 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. WilateVer Might have been the relige ours ignorarme or inexperience of the Roman centurion, les evieently was impressee by Paul's eharacter and conduct. leer the salce of Paul the lives of the prisoners were spared and thus God' a promiee to Paul to give him all the ehip's eonipany was ful- filled.

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. preselons ef the eye, and 2,000 expres. alone of the mouth The miracle of the fade Is the triuinple of expression over features that Otherwise Were PIain and homely -over lines and cote our that one Would riot expect could lend tlepniselves to beauty, What in. [Menet) are we spreading; are We lan dering Or helping other lives? Think, Mae, live! Only one life but our in• Mame never diet. it lives on in the lives of others, Sir Philip SydeZy says, "He travels: tale and not unpleasantly who itt guarded by poverty, and guided 'by love." II. T.
