His enemies had to lie against hien, even to seem to mike mut a case-. The first false charge, in the pub- lic riot started by the Jews, was that he was turning men against the Jews and against the law of Moses, and against the ' temple, and was pol- luting the temple, (Acts 21:28.) There was not a syllable of ,truth ie all this, Tl`ie next accusation was when. "some cried one thing, some an. other'," in the mob --(21:34); and that got nowhere. After his defense 'before the mob,. M the open air, when he told the truth concerning his conversion, and: the risen Lord, and the. Jews, rejcce tion of Christ, they could only cry out demanding Paul's death. (22: 22.) When Paulwas brought before the highest Council of the Jews, the San- hedrin, for a solemn and orderly trial, he was struck on the mouth be- cause he said, "T have lived in all good conscience before God until this day" (28:1). When ,he declared his belief in the resurrection of the dead, the re- ligious liberals, or Saclducees, were. against 'him, and the conservatives, or Pharisees, were in his favor (23: 6-0). Seeing that all legal process against Paul was likely to fail, low- ish assassins . then pledged them- selves to murder him (28:12-15.) In a formal trial before the Roman Governor, Felix, the Jews again. brought a false accusation made by a professional and eloquent proscctt- tor, and repeated a series of lies against his character and good Citi - 1 zenship, also against his religious life. The only truth they told was that he was "a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes" (24:5-6). t It is all a striking exhibition o.f the fact, that, when a man lives the ' Christian life in sincerity and faith fulness, his enemies cannot bring any truthful charge against him to his diecreclit. They can- only bear ifalse witness. It is just such a life , that .the Lord Jesus calls upon us . all to live, that we may "have al- ways a conscience void of offense to -Ward God and toward men," As we saw int last week's lesson, the Ronan Government itself, in its ' military representatives, .intervened in behalf of Paul's life.

Better still, the government of Heaven was standing .between Paul and his enemies.. After the Rosman soldiers had again intervened to save Paul from lynch law (28:10) the Lord Jesus Christ came to Paul at night, with the wonderful messaged "Be of good cheer, Paul; for as thou hast testified of Me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear wetness also at Rome." (23:11). Men who attempt to break through Christ to reach a member of His body are attempting a difficult thing! Then a plot of the forty assas- sins was spoiled .by Paul's sister's son. He heard of their plot, prompt- ly reported it to his uncle, Paul,. the Chief Captain was notified, and now the Roman Government assigns two centurions, 200 soldiers, 70 cavalry and 200 spearmen to take care of their prisoner. They did not know.' why they were doing this, but Paul and Clu'ist did. The "men higher up" are now to be made interested in Paul, so that there shall be no • doubt` about his 'leaving prominent attention front the Roman Government, and eventually getting to Ronne. A full official let- ter from the Chief Captain to the Roman Governor Felix -accompanies the distinguished prisoner, with the large military escort, safely out of Jerusalem to Caesarea; and the Gov- ernor takes the matter into his,.ow.n hands., In the trial before Felix, the pro-" seeution being.. conducted by the Jew- ish high priest, Paul has full opper tunity to answer the lying :accusa— tions, and he does so; fearlessly and truthfully. He snakes one confession: that he is indeed a Chsistian. But he declares that, as a worshipper of the Nazarene, he worships "the God of my fathers, believing all things which ane written in the law and in the prophets" (24:14). That is the beauty of Christianity.; it does not reject the Old Testament, but finds in Christ its fulfilment:: ' Felix goes down • into history! as one of its great tragedies.- -IIs saw that Paul was right. He called Paul before hien for a private hearing, and for many personal conversations, when the apostle set forth the Gos- pel in power and pleading. And. Fe- lix rejected .his eternal opportunity, looking only for money to be paid for Paul's release, The lesson chapter ends with the words that Felix, in order to win the favor of the Jews, when he retired from his Governorship, "left Paul bound." . In reality, Paul was free with the freedom with which Christ makes free; and Felix left him- self bound by sin and death. Big Pontoon, Adrift in lake, Recovered First Salvage From m Two Steel Scows Which Broke Away From Tug Found. Goderieh, Nov. 12. ---The tug, For- rest, en route from Parry Sound to Goderieh, yesterday picked up a steel pontoon, 60 feet by 5 feat, float- ing in the lake oft Southampton, This ie the first salvage from the two steel scows which broke away from the Great Lakes tug Williams, off Harbor Beach, some 10 days ago, and for which the Reid Wrecking Com- pany has been searching and whbah steamers traversing Lake Huron have been warned to avoid. The pontoon had been lashed to one of the scolds and undoubtedly broke adrift with the wash of the seas. From its buoyant construction and the speed with which it would travel before the wind; it is quite. possible that the scows may still be afloat northwest of Point Clark. Tho salvaged pontoon was turned over to the customs collector at South- ampton for disposition. Louis Engler, 10th Con., rhea, has sold his farm to Burst Bros.

It is a duel parallel to that between the makers of arma- ment and the makers of projectiles. Now a shell -resisting armor will for a time defy'the guns, but along will come a projectile capable of piercing any existing armor and the onus falls upon the armor makers to etrengthea their shield. ' It Is not elear at the moment which is on top—the sate blower or the safe maker. There le said to be coming into general use in the United States, and presumably in this country, a new sate made of Y combination 'of.metals that no torch has yet succeeded in piercing. It Is the invention of one J. G. Donaldson, who sought in 1909 to warn bankers against the evil potentialities of the oxy-acetylene burner. He was laugb- ed at then, but respected now, This instrument came into use sometime after 1906, when a French- man named. .Fbuche took out Amer- lean patents for a welding torch which operatedby burning acetylene gas in an atmosphere of oxygen. Two years later Jotram, a Swede, took out patents for a method of cutting steel with a similar torch. Jotram first heated the steel to red- Dees with the Follette torch and then threw against the hot, soft spot a jet • of oxygen. The first models were rather clumsy, but their possibilities were realized and as they came into general use they were Improved ,and refined to their presentstate of high efficiency. As they became more numerous some bank protection agents became' alarmed, fearing that they might play havoc with bank vaults if they 'fell into the hands of criminals, and there was no way in which they could.. be kept from crim- inal hands. Donaldson on one occa- sion assembled a company of those interested in bank protection and -sought to demonstrate the peril. But he failed to burn through the bank door, although he contended that it was due to his own inexperience as an operator and not to any failure in the terrific power of the new device. It was not until 1915 that the torch was used successfully on the first bank vault. The crime took place in Louisiana, but ids the vault was an old-fashioned one the vault - makers werenot alarmed, "believing that tbeir modern vaults were safe. But two years later a modern yault was melted by the same agency and alarm- spread. The burglar-proof safe no longer existed, In 1916 there was but one gang operating in the. United States, but in 1917 there were three which specialized in the cutter- burner utterburner tool and their crimes extended to all parts of the United States, and in 1920 there were a dozen gangs ripping open the safes from New York to San Francisco, and showing a preference for country and suburban banks. So' far' it is contended that the Donaldson amalgram has resisted all torches brought to bear agarnat it, but it is not known that the crim- inals have tried the latest gas torches, which have a vastly greater lamming power than those in use a few years ago. A hundred years ago all safes werelocked witb keys and the sate - robber of those days was merely a clever locksmith, Later the com- bination or spindle lock was invented and for a while batted the evil -dis- posed. But by means of powerful Jacks and wedges they devised mach- inery that would tear these safes' apart and it was from one of the combination safes that a jack and wedges enabled the Manhattan Say= Ings Institution robbers to depart with $3,000,000 In cash and eegoti able securities. When heavier and stronger safes were invented and bullt-in vaults, the safe-blower used powder and blew them open. Then ?be safe -makers devised a metal so bard that the burglars could not drill it to Insert their powder, and many of the old yeggmen -were reduced to the necessity of trying to earn an honest living. Then along came dyna- mite, and the robbers learned all about nitro-glycerine and how to apply it to a sale without drilling boles• to the metal. It was in the. middle '80'e that the first nitro-gly- cerine robbery took place, the scene being Wisconsin, The years that fol- lowed were gull of terror to bankers and despair to safemakera, and it was not. until 1910 that they began to regain the ascendancy. This came about as the resultof a discovery by Sir Robert Hatfield, the Sheffield metallurgist. It was he who devised manganese steel, a metal containing about eleven or thirteen per cent, of manganese, the mass being raised to a tempera- ture of 1,776 degrees Fahrenheit and then plunged. This stew steel was so hard as to turn any drill and so tough that nitro-glycerine was power- less against it 1t the steel was cast in sufnctentt thickness, Not only the material, butthe design of the new sates added to their security, for they were of solid or one-piece constrtit- tion, generally egtltpped with a round or screw door which fitted into the safe tike the breach of a naval can- non, on which these sales had been modelled, From 1910 utttlt the pres- ent day the depredations of the Yen - man declined, for only a few of them turned to the torch when the "toot" failed them. 4AMA MA Hobert A.

When Bayfield wps incor- porated it consisted of about 600 acres; at present it is about 1,760 acres, more or less. The added acre- age was of farm land. For the past few years there has been an agitation among the farmers and villagers to have a considerable part of this reverted. Some of the farmers wanted it back in the town- ship on account of taxes and the vil- lagers for the reason that the road upkeep would be less. While the board did not hand out nn official judgment they intimated that ap- proximately 1,200 acres would be put back into the townships. The school at Bayfield will be known as a union section school and farms which will he put back into the townships will still be assessable for the maintenance of this school. R. C. Hays.

The ice crop every whiter in Can- ada is en caw n:tees one, and ,if it could be marketed in the cities for summer use, the revenue would ar0unteto many millions of dollars. Tho fanners roust rely epee the ponds, rivers and lakes: close by for their supplies, as it has not been Lound prat:ticable to elite ice by rail. in some sections lee is not available, es there are few if any bodies of water large and pure enough to freeze water to sufficient thtalkpees: Inarmers could make their owu ice, weather permitting, by making a low ice moulds close to the well and grad- ually freezing them full, of by mak- ing a solid block 01 toe in a metal lined chamber by pumping into tt a little water every day Or so and allowing it to freeze solid. Twenty cakes of Ice, each 18 incites square and 12 inches thick, would make a ton of ice as stored. The Artificial rend. Still another method for manu- facturing lee on the farm is to make an artificial pond where; there is an abundant supply of water available from well er spring and the pumping is done by power or hydraulic ram. The area required to produce a ton of ice is not great, depending of course on the thickness of the ice. If the probable freezing will make ice 12 inches thick but thirty-five square feet of pond surface is re- quired for each ton needed. The usual, method 01 harvesting the supply of Ice for the farms is to cut it from same nearby pond, stream or lake and haul It house and store it. In the Ice house, or some form of enclosure where it will cover deep with dry sawdust. The source of ice should be free from contam- ination and clean of weeds and other vegetable matter. harvesting the C'n'op. The method consists of the follow- ing operations,— (1) Cleaning off the snots, if any, by means of a suitable form of seren- er. The snow is either dragged off to the shore or pulled into windrows, depending on the size of the area. (2) Marking oft the ice into squares or laying off the held. This operation should be done accurately in order to have blocks of equal size and cut etralght and even to make handling and packing in the house as economical as possible. Success. in this depends largely on getting the first line straight, and this can be done by stretching a line, between two et stakes and placing a rnlght edge board 12 or 14 feet long along the line, and marking the ice with band tool or hand plough along the edge of the board. The board is moved along as the marking is done, piece by piece. After marking in one direc- tion Is completed it Is ueeessary to establish a line across the area which is at right angles to the first direc- flan, Probably the best way to start this is by using a carpenter's large square made of pieces of straight- edge boards 10 or 12 feet long, and. tied across the corner to bold there' fast at angle of 90°. Once the first line is marked straight and at right Angles to the .first line the rest can easily be •marked off properly. (tutting the lee. The ice is cut both ways by either a horse-drawn ice plough er a air-• eular saw driven by a gasoline en- gine, the whole mounted on a sled pushed along by hand. The Iatter method of cutting Is very satisfactory and is economical, when cutting is done on a large scale, as is the case with a large ice dealer or group of farmers harvesting their Ice co-oper- atively. The lee field is usually cut In one direction with the machine and to a. point two or throe inches of the full deptb. The long strips one way are detached from the field by striking into the saw cut with a heavy chisel, and then pusbed up to the loading platform and there cut up into blocks by, It hand saw or by the chisel In cute the field has been cut both ways by the ice plough or power saw. When a small quantity of lee le harvested the cutting is done by saws. Loading iutd Packing the Teo. There are several devices used for loading the Ice on the sleigh, wagon or motor truck, depentling upon the amount of ice being handled, The twain object in this ease 1S to get a mechanical outfit that is cheap, con- venient to operate and which with save the handling of the ice by hand. A small hoist, or horse -power driv- en elevator answers very well, It Is advisable to store the lee on told, dry days as it will be better for handling and will keep better titer etorege. The cakes should all be the same size, and be evenly cut, to order that they may be packed together with as little stir space its possible. Any spaces should be filled with small pieces of lee. The more compact the mase of ice tete bettor it will loop, Below the lee there should bo a foot of dry sawdust or shavings, and int the Rfileg ptadeeds the same material should be packed between the lee and the walls. Do not put sawdust about individual takes of lee Pack the ice with a little dip toward the crate,. so that It cannot press outwards aga.hhst the wa:lis, Atter the ser it stored there should be a couple or feet of eawdu'st put over the te.p.
