is often alarming enough; ' if you lose
it, the result may be terrifying and
disastrous. A tenderfoot lost 'in the

Every summer this happens to hun-

a rescue party finds one of them al-
most dead of exhaustion and bereft of

their swift passage through the bram-

parts of the wilderness, or in Winter,

better for the hunter from the city, un-

and let his companions find him.
Even if he is alone, the first thing he
should do is to sit down quietly and
think things out.
The woodsman knows plenty of
tricks to aid him in suck an emer-

tell the direction by his watch. If the
sun is overcast, moss on the trees may
help to guide him. Or he can line up
trees and keep going in one direction,
so as to avoid the swinging circles
which are the curse of bewilderment.
But if he is au old-timer he can often
rely safely enough on his own sense,

A forest runner takes that for grant-

manner:
Pull the lead out of a cartridge or

in its place some dry bits of cotton
from a handkerchief. Find a dry, par-

end of the firearm is about three from

one knew it, one had become an, in-

Copenhagen, but an engineless plane,
a modern sensitive glider or "sail

recalled that Otto Fuchs, a, well-known
Gorman glider pilot, was carrying out
experimental flights over Berlin by
invitation of the Aero Club of Ger-
many, testing "sail -flying contlitions

is its noiselessness. It is so noiseless,
in fact, that a passenger could read

ing against high buildings, produces
vertical air currents. So does the
warmth steaming up from homes and
factories. Thus the pots and frying
pans of the noonday meal help to keep
the silent glider in the air.

Berlin's Area Expands

times larger in the last thirty years,
according to figures of the Bureau of
Statistics. Its area now is 348 square
miles against 25 in 1900. This expan-

more and more suburbs and neighbor-
ing communes, a process which indeed
has been going on in all big cities In
Germany, though on a less striking
scale.
In the same three decades the popu-
lation of Berlin has risen from 1,888,-
000 to 4,297,000, but as tho rate of ter-
ritorial growth has been so much
greater, the Berliner in 1931 has, the-
oretically at least, considerably more
breathing space than at the beginning
of the century.
Berlin in the first quarter of this
year had the lowest birth rate in the
Reich, namely, 10.3 per 1,000 against
an average of 16.1 in the chief cities
of Germany. The prize for the high-
est birth rate during the quarter goes
to Hindenburg, in Silesia, which re-
corded 23.8.

IV. CHRISTIANITY HONORED, 1 Peter
4: 12-19.
The persecuted exiles were perplex-
ed at their many troubles. Peter en
courages them by pointing to the
honor which has been conferred upon
them—made sharers with Jesus in his
suffering (v. 12) to be- sharers also
with him in his' glory. He warns them,
however, against the notion that all
persecutions thus honor one. A man
paying for his past sin and folly is
experiencing the inevitable "persecu-
tion." He may be nursing the delu-
sion that he is being martyred. Let
Christians beware of such self-decep-
tionl But real martyrdom is some-
thing to thank God for. The cross
leads to the crown. As Dean Inge
says: "The universe is friendly to
brave men who can endure hardness."
Unexpected forces are throwing in
their weight on their side. So it was
