Some of the men ran to examine the sbehrings of. the huge fan shaped casting that gov- erned the movements o1' the rudder, while,others began to tap the wooden shields which 'protected the steering rods and chains. In the midst of the hammering and excitement' Captain Coke swung himselfup to the br}nge. "Well, I'm Mowed! You here?" her; said, looking at tris.

Hoziee tells me they often confuse the false cross with the real one, and the mistake bus been enjoy- able." "A reggae 'umbug, the Southern Cross." grunted Coke. "It ain't a patch on the bear." dike grinned at his own pleasantry. To one of his hearers at least it seem- ed to be passing strange that he was so ready to forget such a vital defect in the steering gear as bad manifested itsi existence a few ininntes earlier.

On the second occasion her visitor brought the cheering news that they would be under the lee of l''ernnndo Noronha early next morning. Sbe had sufficient sea lore'` to understand that this im- plied shelter from wind and wave, but Eozler omitted to tet! her that the only practicable roadstead in the is- land, being ou the weather side, would be rendered unsafe by the present ad- verse combination of the elements. in fact, Coke bad already called Watts and hosier into council, and they had agreed with him that the wiser plan would be to bear in toward the Island from the east and anchor in smooth water as close to South point as the lead would permit, As for Itis' wild foreboding that the ship was intended to be lost, Philip -did not give it other than a passing thought, Coke was navigating the An- dromeda with exceeding care and no little skill.

About mid- night the weather moderated.

Sudden fright or emotion may cause a momentary arrest of the heart's action, or some excitement or apprehension may. set up a rapid action of the heart thereby causing palpitation. Palpitation, again, is often the result of digestive disorders arising from the stomach, or may be the result of over indulgence of tobacco or alcoholic drinks. The only way to regulate this serious heart trouble is to use Milburn's heart and Nerve Pills. Mrs. J. S. Nicholls, I.istowell, Ont, writes: I was weak and run down, my heart would palpitate and I would take weak and dizzy spells. A. friend ad- vised me to try Milburn's i•Ieart and Nerve Pills, so I started at once -to use them, and found that I felt much stronger.

Stearns, 1`120 event of thi1 lesson. the coming of the Holy Spirit, wile on the (My et Pentecost, or the fiftieth day calor the, resurrection of Christ. 11 was fore- shadowed, as was all else, in the law, In Lev. xxiii there is u record of the feasts of the Lord (verses 4, 41r"tn which unoluted eyes may see His death and resurrection, the coming of .tile Spirit and His return in glory. When He was hero in the days of Hie flesh these feasts Lind become merely feasts of the Jews with the Lord left out, like much of the worship of today which is only outward form without r eali t y. The passover typified the death of Christ, one passover. Toe staler of first ,fruits on the morroww after the Sabbath clearly iudleates His resurrec• tion, Christ the first fruits. The other first fruits fifty days after the former suggests the lesson of today, the anointing of believers, the beginning of the church story, and the feast of tabernacles points to His coining again in glory and the contersion or all 1s- rael. There is great profit in u special study of all these. See how sin in believer's is typified ey the leaven in the second first fruits (verse 17). Re- turning to our lesson,, from which we wandered to Lev. xxiii because of the fiftieth day, note the espresslon -with one accord" which, if 1 have. counted correctly, is 'used in Acts just eleven tunes, seven times in 0 good connection, as 111 chapters i, 14; 11, 1, 462, and four Imes of the enemies of the Lord, as in I'fi, 57. If but a few believers could be heartily of one no-, cord in the Lord's service beat things might be accomplished, as when the diseiples.eontintled in prayer and sup• plication, about 120 men and 5Om00 (1, 14, 15), When the time was -fully come th promised comforter, the Holy Spirt came upon them and fillet( them a (verse 4; i, 8; Luke xx}v, 40). Ther was a sound as of a rushing, might wind, and cloven tongues like as O fire sat upon each of then( (verses 2 0), both the wind and the fire bele symbols of the holy Spirit (Matt 111 11; John fit, 8; Ezek. xxxvil, 0, 10) The Spirit on this occasion enable them to speak in the different ran guages of the people named in verse 0-11, but note carefully that they al understood 'what the disciples said and they all talker( of the wonderfu works of God. Contrast this with th so called tongues movement of ou day, 'ninth of which consists of strange sounds which no one O On earth can un derstund. See also what the Spirit says by' Pau coneecning the necessity of speaking words easy to be understood and that he would rather speak five words that could be understood than leu thuusan(1 that uo one could andeestand (1 Cor eta, 9t 101. Note that the only epistle that makes mention of tongues is one in which those to whom the epistle was written were spoken or tie babes and carnal (1 Cor. i11, 1-4). See also hots' lore is exalted above all else, the love that is Irind and thinketh no evil (I Cor. xfii), and contrast such love as is there de• eribed with the seeming lack of love 1(110(1 says that, If sick, the have no alth, and 1f we do not speak in ongues we are not Spirit filled, It 005 seem to me that tongues which o not glorify God by helping some one o know Ilii better cannot be of Gal,. owever well intentioned and zealouse he people may be. our Lord said that the 111013'; Spirit, whom Lle would send, would enable them to bear witness unto Him (i, 8), and the one only thing for which believers are on earth is to ear wetness to the fact that Jesus Meet is alive and that Fre is living is life in us, that those who knots s may want to loow Him because hey know us and that we maty bele o make Him and the glorious story 01' s great salvation known to the ends f the earth.

Liberia Chief Maintained Truce at Possible Cost of a(Seat. Hon. E, L. Pateuaude, the new Na- tionalist Minister of Inland Revenue in the Borden Cabinet, was returned unopposed for the co)sstituency of Hochelaga on October 15th, thus tak- ing the seat vacated by Hon, Mr. Coderre, now a judge. Liberals of Hocholaga who natur- ally resented the inclusion in the Borden Cabinet of still another Bour- assn Nationalist, especially as this new Nationalist Minister must be- come their representative in Bailie- ment, were keen for a contest and confident that they could put a can, didate in the field who would have little difficulty in taking the, meas- ure of Mr. Patenande. Before tak- ing definite action, however, they de- cided to submit the matter to Sir Wilfrid Laurier with the result that the Liberal Leader strongly express- ed his desire that there should be no contest, no matter how confident the Liberals of Hochelaga might be of their ability to win the election. The public announcement was then made that Mr. Patenaude would not be op- posed. Commenting on this further evi- dence that Sir Wilfrid is determined to abide unalterably by the attitude assumed by him as Leader of the Liberal party at the antset of the war, The Montreal Star (Conserva- tive), In its issue of October 14th, Paid the following well merited tri- bute to the Leader; "Sir Wilfrid Laurier is to be warinly commended by Canadians of all parties ---who realize that the first business of every British community: to -day is to fight and win this war --- for the decisive fashion in which he prevented a breach or the Political truce in ' llochelaga, Sir Wilfrid lodged himself to such a truce when the first German gun was fired, and most loyally has he kept that pledge - He is with those who believe that there should be no civil division—no party electio', —in this country until the war is over•, and with him stand, we are confident, all the better and more patriotic elements in the come munity, Fre has resisted a considerable temptation ta1:1n1I in vetoing a contest at this e in Hccheinga, when it is felt by many that the ill -smelling war purchase scandals might have offered hila au effective Iseuo. But he believes, apparently—and, we think, correctly --flat the time is not yet for a discussion of these v9al and far-reaching questions before the electorate. Undoubtedly, it is the duty of Parliameutas at present con- stituted to discuss thein, for this Par- liament must stand until the war is finished as the trustee of the nation. 1'be whole country has been shamed by the revelations before the David- son Commission, and, in war -time, punishment for aitch offences should - be even swifter' than in the less crib-. cal periods of peace. But this is a far different matter from seeking to strengthen a political party in Par- liament by contesting, an open con- stituency. In taking this stand, Sir Wilfrid will have the support -not only of the saner sections of his own party— but of the Less partisan portions of the Conservative party as well, He ,may not get his just meed of praise from sychophants who ever worship the risen sun—from self-seekers who fawn upon the powers that be—but he will receive his reward in the esteem of all manly then who neither partyism nor "patronage" can blind, and from the calm verdict of history which will immortalize the statesmen who stand most steadily by the State in, this, her supreme hour of trial," it WAIL HEROINE Whom Italy Ras Honored With a • Medal for Valor.

Heedless of the buratiug shrapnel and whirring buleets, she succeeded in making her way through the vine- yard to the Italian tines, A brief par- ley ensued. She readily persuaded a company of bersaglfete to follow her. 1$y devious patbs eke led the way safely to her home, unnoticed by the Austrians. Going to the edge of the terrace, she indicated to the officer in charge of the Austrian, positions, Then suddenly t deal v Eromh t e terrace 100 rifles e spoke and began in- cessant leaden hail on therAustrians inta'enc:hed in the valley below. The latter replied, and the terrace became the scene of a bloody action, Soon the Austrian position became unten- able; they were forced to abandon it and lied in contusion. A few hours later the Italians were masters of the city. In recognition of her services she has received the medal tor valor in action and is the only woman 00 honored by Italy in this war, An Historic Inkstand.
