TIME CHURCH II.1 ROME
Romana I11, 7-12; Acta 28:14b -I3,
30-31.
Golden Text: I am not ashamed
of the gospel of Christ; for it is
the power of God unto salvation to
every one that believeth; to the Jew
first, and also to the Greek,
—Rom. 1:16,
Paul was commissioned of God
to carry the light of. the Gospel
to the Gentiles, His first head-
quarters was Antioch, the hub of
Syria. Therm it was Ephesus, the
center of operations in Asia Minor
and eastern Europe; and finally,
Rome, the metropolis of the world.
Rome was capital of the last great
world empire. Its mighty armies
even conquered Briton. But the
power of Rome did not daunt Paul
for the message of the Gospel of
Christ was mare powerful yet. It
would not destroy but save every-
one who would trust in Christ.
Paul was unashamed of such a
Gospel. )le longed for the oppor-
tunity of placing its banner at the
heart of the empire.
Paul did not know that he would
go to Rome as a prisoner. When a
group of Christians learned of his
coming, they went down the road
about forty miles to meet him:
01Whom when Paul saw, he thanked
God, and took courage." The
thoughtfulness on the part of the
little band in Rome did much to
help Paul. If we would just re-
member that little acts of kindness
can have great significance, we
would do more of them,
Paul had written in his letter to
the Romans, "We know that all
things work together for good to
them that love God". 11:28. Now he
had a chance to prove It. He wee
allowed his own hired house where

he could receive all who came. He
preached the Gospel. Later he wrote
from prison to the Church at Phil-
ippi, 'I would ye should under-
stand, brethern, that the things
which happened unto me have fallen
out rather unto the furtherance of
the gospel; so that my bonds ars
manifest in all the palace, and in
all other places; and many of the
brethern In the Lord, waxing eon -
!Went by my bonds, are much more
bold to speak the word without
fear."

A Railway Line
Run By Childen
One of the world's most popular
.railroads doesn't connect any cities,
has only a single track, and runs
little more than two miles.
Yet, despite these disadvantages
which would bankrupt any other
line, hundreds of persons, including
visitors from all over the world,
:lock every day to its main terminal
on Szechenyihegy hilltop above
Budapest to take a ride. On the
llungarian railroad called Uttoro
Vasut, Pioneers' Railroad, in Eng-
lish, the employees, rather than the
right-of-way, account for its point -
lathy,
Prospective passengers ouy their
tickets, which cost one forint (about
10 cents), from a young lady who
stili counts sums higher than five
on her fingers. While waiting for
the next train, they peer through
the windows of the dispatcher's of-
fice to watch a freckle -faced lad
wearing his first pair of long
trousers, part of a spruce blue -gray
uttifornm, tap out messages on a
' telegrapher's key, On the platform,

blonde, signals the train to start,

Ing tickets, working as conductors,
telegraphers, and stationmasters;
operating signal towers, coupling

train.
The only adults besides the pas-
sengers, arc the men who drive the
*we blue -and -white Diesel -powered
locomotives and a patient, soft
spoken man named Ferenc Nemeth,
who keeps a fatherly eye on the
"employees." A veteran of 14
years on the flungaaian railways,
Nemeth says the children are the
best workers he's ever seen.
The locomotives and cars, rough-
ly two-thirds of standard size, are
exact replicas of full-sized trains,

high-pitched whistles. There's a pic-

ed, scenic, two -utile route,

raphy, signals, mechanics and ticket
selling. There's alto a post office at
each of the three stations along the
line, so the children are also
taught how to sell stamps and, di-
rect letters.
Only the hest students get jobs
on the railroad. They work six
hours every day for a month, get•
ting their lunches free. Their jobs
change every day, so that each child
gets all-round knowledge of the
line's operations, They also learn
how to use and respect authority;

Cow Towels
Progressive dairymen wash the
udders and teats of their cows with
warm water before milking. A eter-
nised cloth towel is used to dry the
udders. Despite this precaution
bacteria ere carried from sow to
another. Individual paper cow tow-
els used once only reduce this
chance of spreading infection. The
cellulose cow towel it made from
special wood pulps and chemicals.

Bees Great Part
In Flower Pollination
Flowere did not appear till some
130,000,000 years ago. At that time
beetles were the only pollinating
ineecte.
The modern descendants of these
original flowering plants—the mag-
nolias and their relatives—are still
pollinated by beetles. The magno-
las are composed of numerous,
spirally arranged, colorless petals,
stamens and seed -bearing organs.
Unlike bees, beetles do not stick
to one variety of plant, Probably
the earliest flowering plants were
insufficiently pollinated and prob-
ably they did not reproduce abund-
antly.
All this changed' when bees ap-
peared at the beginning of the Ter-
tiary period, about 60,000,000 years
ago. Bee pollination is more effi-
cient than beetle pollination,
With bees doing the pollating,
flowers tended to develop petals in
the form of a deep tube or cup,
with nectar stored at the base. This
relieved the plant of the burden of
producing excess pollen and num-
erous stamens, the flower's pollen -
bearing organs. Since bees habitu-
ally land on flowers when they suck
nectar or gather pollen, the flowers
tend to form the lower petals into a
long Hp to serve as a "landing
platforms."
Time color of the flowers was af-
fected too. Bees can ace blue or
yellow, but they are color-blind for
red. Most *lowers that attract bees,
therefore, are some shade of blue
or yellow or a mixture of these two
colors.
So the appearance of many low-
ers today (color, shape and sym-
metry of petals and number of sta-
mens) is an evolutionary adapta-
tion. Plants developed tubular flow-
ers, reduced the number of stamens
and concealed nectar at the base,
where it is available to the long -
tongued bees but not to the beetles.
The tubular petals carried out a
screening process which gradually
eliminated the visits of beetles to
many flowers and favored the visits
of bees. -
Use Live Steam
As A Cooler
Use of live steam to cool fresh
vegetables seems a paradox, but time
method, based on well known
physical laws ingeniously applied,
has been used commercially by
California lettuce shippers for more
than a year and tested by the De-
partment of Agriculture, Vege-
tables can be cooled even after they
have been packed in plastic bags.
Bulk containers of ,vegetables are
placed in an airtight metal cham-
ber and the loading opening is a
sealed High-pressure steam creates
a vacuums and sticks the air ottt of
the cooling chamber. Water evapor-
ates from the surface and tissues of
the vegetables. Changing the water
from the liquid to the vapor forme
requires heat. This is• drawn front
the vegetables within the chamber
attd results in their quick cooling,

Back in 1907 a ratan went. to
Washington as Senator from Min-
nesota. His name was Knute Nel-
eon, and hie favorite eating was
bean soup. 33e liked bean soup
every weekday and Sundays as wet;
and when he found that the Sen-
ate Restaurant didn't serve this deli-
cacy, he made a terrific equawk.
So before long it appeared on the
Menu. What's more, it has been ap-
pearing there every single day for
almost 34 years, just because
thousands of others, besides Mr.
Nelson, went for it in a big way,
"Fatuous Senate Restaurant Bean
Soup" is the way it's always listed;
and it has probably been eaten by
more noted people than any other
single dish,
Perhaps you'd like to know how
to make it. Here is the recipe as
handed out by Paul Johnson, the
restaurant's head waiter for half a
Century,
FAMOUS BEAN SOUP
3 lbs, small navy pea beans
1 % lbs. smoked ham hocks
1 onion
4 quarts water
A little butter
Salt and pepper
METHOD: Take three pounds of
small navy beans, wash and run
through hot water until the beans
are white again. Put on fire with
lour quarts of hot water. Add 1366
lbs. smoked ham hocks, Boil for
236 hours. Braise one onion, chop-
ped small, in a little butter and
when light brown, put in the soup.
Season with salt and pepper, then
serve. Do not add salt till ready to
serve. (Serves eight.)
