How To Care For
Cane -Bottoms Chairs
Rush -bottom, splint, or cane -seats
ed chairs have been highly prized
by generatlies of housewives, but.
how to take care of them often
poses a problem. Now comes good -
counsel from the United States De -
pertinent of Agriculture quoting
Gena Thames, New Jersey hone

1f you have a newly finished
rush seat, straighten the rows and
even the seat with the rounded end
of tt stulfer, -and polish the seats
with atull'er or piece of Icather,
Then apply, equal parts of tureen•
tine and raw linseed' nB to both
sides of the seat.
When thoroughly dry - or after
24 hours of drying - apply a see•
and cont to the top and bottom.
After another 24 hours- of drying,
apply a titin type of scaler witb
a rag. Add more coats until no dull
spots appear. Allow at tenet e4
boars to dry between each rout.
As for those old chair seats that
have dried oat and become embed-
ded with dust, Bliss Thames says:
To -1 quart of hot wetter add 3
tablespoons boiled Iln8Ied oil mud
1 tablespoon turpentine. Never place
this (laminable mixture directly ren

The story of Paul's voyage on
the Mediterranean Sea from
Caesarea on the eastern coast to
Malta and then his journey to
Rome is a thrilling one, Though
he was a prisoner he proved to
be the best advisor on board.
When they had rounded Cyprus
and changed ships at Myra they
came ,o Crete. After spending
a time at The Fair Havens they
Set out in spite of warnings from
Paul. They were soon caught in
a terrible storm. The tackling
was thrown overboard and soon
all hope of being saved was lost.
Now they were ready to listen
to Paul. It is still true that many
people will only listen to the
Gospel message when they aro
in great trouble. He told them
that an angel had assured him
that he would be spared to ap-
pear before Caesar and that all
lives would be saved but the
ship would be lost. Part of this
memorable sermon was used as
a text by Billy Graham when
he preaohe.l to Queen Elizabeth
and Prince Philip. It was. `"Be of
good cheer: for 1 believe God."
This was one sermon which the
press was not permitted to re-
port. We know that the sermon
would be true to the context.
It would thus be an optimistic
message tending to stimulate
faith in God as revealed in the
Bible.
When Paul reached Rome he
dwelt in a separate house with -
a Roman soldier. There he min-
istered first to tate Jews and la-
ter to the Gentiles. For two years
his 'lodging was a place of coun-
selling and preaching. Some al
Caesar's household were conver-
ted to the faith. It became e
missionary training centre, Ona
may well imagine that the sol-
diers set to guard him became
missionaries in the armies sent
into various parts of the Roman
Empire. Paul, the prisoner in
chains proved a valiant witness
for his Lord. Others caught his
vision and the .work went on,
