It was a fortunate thing fora Rom- an centurion named Julius, the sol- diers under his command, and the master and owner of a ship of Alex- andria le�:- andria'in whish they all hoped to sail safely from Fair Havens, in Crete, to another Cretan port only 40 miles away, that a little Jewish prisoner named Paul was on board. They hal a tempestuous experience. the mem- ory of which must have lingered i.o the end of their three; and it is safe to say that not one of them ever for- got Paul. The narrative written by Luke of Paul's voyage and shipwreck is one of the masterpieces of nautical :.inti historical literature. The natural and the supernatural are here; the ordinary and the extraordinary; the hard-headed, practical man of af- fairs, who is also the Spirit -filled num.his heart sensitivelyopen en to the voice of God.

The details of the itinerary are given in the early part of the el. e»- ter. and nothing eventful oce•urr•:ri until after the party had ehan;^art ships at Myra, on the coast of what is now Asia Minor, to voyage to Crete. Paul gives or:wainal advice to the centurion and the ship's ma. ter, not to continuo the voyage be- yond Fair Havens, because the stet- son was so far gone that "sailing was now dangerous." They disregarded his advice, almost to their death Truly spiritual men al, truly practi- cal men, and Paul was one of the, Then follows one of the most vivid, dramatic accounts of a protracted storm at sea. Instead of the forty mile run they expected to make, they were blown G00 miles by the fury of the tempest. Fortunate are those who possess or who can find in a library, the greatest uninspired book that has ever been written on this subject, "The Voyage and Shipwreck of St. Paul," by James Smith of Jordan - hill. Snaith was a Scottish business man, an elder in the Church of Scot- land, passionately devoted to the sea and its shipping. Such scholars as the late Dean Alford, and the present Sir William M. Ramsay, agree that Smith's volume so covers the subject as to leave nothing further to be said. The boat in which Paul's party sailed was not a trifling affair. Philip E. Howard of the Sunday School 'Gimes, writing on this narrative after a study of Smith's book, has said. ""A creditable craft, as large as our three -masted coasting schooners, doubtless a grain -carrier out of Al- exandria bound for Italy with a cargo of grain for the Romans." It was •probably about a hundred and eighty feet long and forty wide, and about able to early some two hun- dred acid fifty tons of Such 'cargo as it had." Shipmaster, sailors, centurion and soldiers gave up all hope of being saved. But Paul had more than mere hope of being saved; he had definite knowledge. First, the Lord had ap• peered to him at Jerusalem and had said, "Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of Me in Jerusaletn, so must thou hear witness also at Horne" (Acts 28;11); and Paul knew tbs.. the Lord always keeps His word. Secondly. as Paul reported to the men on board, an angel of God ap- peared to hint on the ship, reiterated the word that had came from the Lord at Jerusalem, and added, "God hath given thee all them that ,ail with thee" a 27:241. When we receive a promie a from God, whether in His written Word o say e 'We ready t or t cn•wt,etire oh with Paul: "I believe, God, that it shall be even as it was told me" (v. 25)', That is the secret of peace ,n the midst of the storm. practical tical c•omntOnsenst+ ap-1 pears again when, as the vessel nears •the shore and wreck is hninimmt, he 'resets ,.very one to take some food, for he knows their bodies need strengthening; for the test that hes ahead.

THE WOMAN IN PARLIAMENT .The Ontario Farmer Four years bi the House of Com- mons have not dimmed Agnes Mac- Phail's vision, nor dulled the fine keenness of her enthusiasm, and the fact that her constituency returned her in the last election, has .not turn- ed her head. Her life et Ottawa has broadened the first, it has sharpened the second, with its revelation of the boundlessness of opportunity that lie about for the seizing, while the third has but given her a more intense de- sire to serve. One of Miss MaePhail's hobbies is youth, Contiwith its fire and its daring demand for the truth in all things. "Whenever I get the oppor- tunity I tell the young people to stick to their ideals,” she said. "They are right, and their ciders who preach materialism and the gospel of "it won't pay,' are wrong.” To 'prove her faith Miss MacPhail has been in- strumental In organizing young peo- ples' work in South Grey. and inci- dentally as she speaks of it, gives all sorts of praise to the agricultural representatives, to the Dominion and the Ontario Departments of Agricul- ture, and to the 0. A. C. for the co- operation freely given whenever it was asked for. Now she is• thinking about library work in her part of the world, and not the least delighted portion of an hntrr or so that we spent with Mies ?l; 1'hail lately, was taken up with talk about •'hildren's hooks—she's a great believer in books for us all, is Canada's •only woman member in the Dominion Hous•,. And by the way, she is very keen on the subject of a book about the Govet'rmumt, Writ- ten specially for children. "They haven't the faintest idea that Govern- nemt is anything in which they have tiny concern," she says, "and that reminds us we must tell you that, last year, in connection with the young peoples' movement in Grey, Mists MacPhail gave the first prize in a public school essay.competition a- mong the nineteen school fairs in the county, the topie being, "The Federal. Government," and the prize a trip to Ottawa for the opening of the house. It was won by Maxine Lyons, of Markdale. You ran all imagine what a fairy tale it was for the little girl, for not only was she on the floor of the House when the opening ceremon- • ies were in progress, but she happen- ed to be twelve when she Was in Ot- tawa, so her hostess gave her a birth- day party in the House of Commons dining room, and all the Cabinet Min- isters came there to meet her, the 1HIon.

The people of this province de - mended this service — and they 'have made it possible by their' Christmas Time gifts. They are rewarded by the lmowledee that thousands of Ontario children will grow up Into manhood or woman- hood blessing the "little blue cots" wherein. they were restored and strengthened to play a full part in the battle of life. To win back health for six thou• sand boys and girls was the measure of the Hospital's ward -service alone thise Y ar. Besides that there were over halt a hundred thousand at- tendances in the Oat -Patient Depart. meat, where the less serious eases are treated. All this costs a great deal of money, even though the doe• tors give freely of their skill and the nurses of their care. There Is board and lodging and laundry to be provided, besides the best that can be procured in the way of all the medical and surgical supplies re• quired to treat the mynas ailments and accidents to which children are subject In order to maintain its high standard of efficiency and also to widen the scope of its service through clinics conducted ail over Ontario, the Hospital is compelled to borrow heavily during the year. On the occasion of its fiftieth Christ was an appeal is made to the pub- lic for the funds which will allow the Rosetta! for Sick Children to enter upon its second half -century - of service with Its courage renewed by a credit balance in the bank. 1t Is Indeed a noble cause which 1 teel sure you will cordially eom• mend to Your readers.

FOR 35'MILE LIMIT Provincial Association To Recommend Advance in Legal Speed of Autos. The stand of the Ontario Motor league in advocating an advanced pro vincial speed limit of 35 miles an hour on highways and 20 miles an hour in cities, towns and villages was explained in a circular to the London Motor elub. At the last meeting of the board of director's it was conclucd that this advance was necessary to relieve con gestion on the highways and to fore - :gull the opening of new roads. The board was strongly in favor of abol- ishing the speed limit altogether it: the open country, but decided that this wait too far-reaching, - A minimum speod law was also discussed, it being decided that those who chive too slowly in faster mov- ing, traffic are as dangerous as those who drive at reckless speed. The Dean tarry or the new speed laws is shown in the fact that the slowness of, speed on the completed highways would necessitate e ssitate the construction of new highways to take.

Even to -day you can ride a horse eight miles out from the northern shore. Farmers around tine wash are watching land of quite fantastic rich- ness rise from out the waters.

Majesty Queen Alexandra, Men will wear full mourning from November 20 until January -20, and half mourning from January 20 un- til February 20.

W. King, Progressive, with a majority of 170. and award- ing it to George Spotton, Conserva- tive, by a majority of. 8. In three polling subdivisions the deputy returning . officers evidently did not know that it was their duty to detach the counterfoils from the ballots before they were deposited in the box. In then three polling places the total vote was 200 for Mr. Ring and 83 for Mr. Spotton—a majority for Mr. Ring of 177. Judge 'Levis ruled that these ballots could not be counted, and leaving them out, de- cided that Mr. Spotton had been el- ected by a majority of S votes. Action is being taken against this decision on behalf of Mr. Ring, and no doubt the ease will be straightened out by legal process. Our courts are usually adequate in the handling of such an issue. Perhaps there is a certain judicial importance- in having set up , an arguable case embodying such a decision in regard to ballots with counterfoils attached, as Judge Lewis has here made. so that there will exist an 'authoritative court rul- ing in the future for such matters,, but our courts, while sure and reliable enough, are slow; and it might prove to be a serious thing if Parliament should meet in special session next month with the result of the North Huron election still up in the air: The ballot coueterfoil is meant to be detached. Of that there is no doubt. But the elector has nothing to do with that. It is clear that three deputy returning officers did not know their business. 11 so, such punishment as their fault deserves should fall on them, not on the elec- tors of those polling subdivisions who properly marked their ballots and 'entrusted theta to the ofltg ars legally appointed to receive them --nor should the ).tunishnient full on the man duly chosen by a majority of 170 of the electors to represent North Huron in Parliament. One does not believe, of eourse,,„that a punishment so severe and misplaced will he inflicted, and that it will be found, when the resources of - the courts have been utilized, that law and jttstice tit together well enough,.

Offered to Irish Free State as fronts for Presiiioni. Glenstal Castle, which Sir Charles Barrington offered as 0 gilt to the Irish Free State, is situated on an eminence known as Slieve Phetlnt, near Limerick city, within a short distance of the Atlantie and com- manding a flue prospect, including the Plain of Limerick 011. one side and the mountains on the other, It le an ideal home tor a statesman 'who wants to get away from time to time from the environment of olpcial life, with he exacting routine, About 110 ranee from Dublin, it is near enough to tbe capital, with modern means of transportation, and it is at the same time far enough away to insure that the President would not be worried with the details of official business which would inevitably be thrust upon him in a residence near the seat of government. Were the Government to consult its own convenience the offer would be accepted without delay, but in the present state of Irish finances, and With the insistent clamor for econ- omy, 11 naturally hesitates to commit itself to the annual expenditure which the upkeep of Glenstal Castle would involve, vol e, When a Dublin correspondent in- quired at Lie Government Bulldluge in the Irish' metropolis, he was In- formed that there was no information available as to the decision of the Government, There is a good deal of clamor from polittclana and others about th cost of maint, ing the Vice -Regal Lodge as a residence for the King'e representative, the Governor-General, and this in itself is au®clent to ac- count scount for the hesitation of the Gov- ernment in accepting Str Charles Dar rington's offer, The cost of mainten- ance would be anything from $20,000 to 580,000 a year, and a President who receives a salary of 510,000 a year could not be expected to main- tain such an establishment out of his private purse. Preeldent Cosgrave, as bead of a Government tvbich rules over twent- ty-six counties . o1 Ireland, has loss than the salary of Sir James. Craig, the Premier of the six -County Ulster Parliament, and it would -not seem unreasonable that lee should be pro- vided with an official' residence, It there were a political settlement in. Ireland which would be accepted byy all the people, the provision of such a residence probably would be agreed to without: question. But with near- ly one-third of the people's represeu- tativee refusing to take their seats in the Dail, political considerations what necessarily influence the minds of the members of the Government in deciding what to do with the castle, Glenstal Castle was built in the first half of the nineteenth centum. It is on the style of Sir Walter Scott'e castle at Abbotteford, but originally wee planned on a much more ela ber- ate scale. The designer had Wind- sor Castle in mind, and tbe founda- Cons were actually laid for a build- ing much larger than the preset Glenstal Castle. The building as first conceived was abandoned, and many years after the castle in its present size was erected the successor in title to the founder had to epend close to $4,lottnda000 tlonin As,iling In the tlnoecessary The estate Included 10,000 acres at the time the castle was built. The greater part of the land has since been sold, to the occupying tenants under the various land purchase acts, but there are still some fine deer Perim, a big demesne stretching along the slopes of Stievo intense, and 801115 splendid, shooting going with the property. Pite avenue to the castle is a. mile and a hall long. The castle, with gardens, ponds and lands immediately around the build- ing, is Included in - the offer to the Free State Government, The outer land probably will be sold, as the owner is now seventy-seven years old and the younger members of itis fam- ily have made their homes etsewberd.
