"And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together pray- ing" (Acts 12 : 12). The only wea- pon of defence these Christians had was prayer. We are told in the first part of this chapter that "Herod stretched forth his hands to vex cer- tain of the church" and that with- out warning, evidently, James was killed. Peter, however, was put in- to prison for a time and this gave the church an opportunity to pray for his life; "many were gathered to - i gether praying." It was fervent, 1 unceasing prayer and the answer was immediate. "While they are I yet speaking I will hear" (Isa. 65 ; 1 24). Would not such a happening as this taking place in his very own home have a telling effect on the young man, John Markt In the 11th chapter of Acts we read of the famine which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar' and how the ' disciples at Antioch, every man ac- ' carding to his ability, sent relief by {the hands of Barnabas and Saul to the brethren in Judea.

They had their likes and dislikes; Barnabas had still a tender affection for his nephew, John Mark. Paul was strongly prejudiced against him who bad deserted them on their first journey. Barnabas was anxious to give him anther chance but Paul was determined. Like Solomon he could say "l'unfidence in ap unfaith- ful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint" (Prov. 25 ; 19). The contention was so sharp between them that they de- parted asunder one from the other. In after days Paul got to have a bet- ter opinion of John Mark, for we read in 2 Tim. 4:11: "Take Mark and bring him with thee; for he is pro- fitable to me for the Ministry." From this incident we learn that the best of men are but.men as Paul and Barnabas had on a previous oc- casion acknowledged saying: "We al- so are men of like palisions with you " We xl.o learn that this quer- SM penonefed WARE Three finishes: Pearl Ware, two coats of pearly grey enamel inside and out.

FRENCH CANADIANS STIR • RHODE ISLAND POLITICS Difficulties of somewhat the same character as those which have dis- turbed Ontario in the teaching of,, French and English in the piiblic schools hove agitated Rhode Island politics for some time past. The French there have objected, as they have objected in certain parts of this province, to English as the language of instruction, and being influential politically they have Made matters ex- tremely uncomfortable for many mem- bers of the State Legislature and Sen - them John whose surname was Mark (verse 25). While in Jerusalem Barnabas, no doubt, made his home with his sister, Mary, and quite likely his companion Saul lodged with him. Undoubtedly they had so in- fiuenced John Mark that, on their de- parture, he was ready to go with them to be ,trained by them for the ministry. Chapter 13 : 1-5. In the church at Antioch there were a, number of em- inent ministers. We read in Eph. 4 : 11 how after Christ ascended he gave some, apostles; and some, pro- phets; and some, evangelists ; and some, pastors and teachers." In verse 1 we have an instance of the fulfilment of this. They were both prophets and teachers and not only were they all thus well qualified for the service of the Christian church, but one of them, Manaeus, had been brought up with Herod and had he continued to live in such an envir- onment, hight have held high office at court, but for Christ's sake he gave up all such hope. Antioch was a large city and there were many Christians in it ,Acts 11 : 26) who, were ministered to by these prophets and teachers. A day came, when 'r ate.

However, the chances are against them. While they are an im- portant political force they number cnly one-sixth of the population, and the English speaking people having been aroused and lining up almost solidly against the ambitions of the French-Canadian, their cause seems a forlorn one. Their best chance was to have the changes they desired pas- sed before the other inhabitants dis- covered what was going on. For forty years the State of Rhode Island has had on her statute books a law making the teaching of English compulsory in all schools, public and private. To this the French-Cana- dians who have continued to pour in- to the State have objected in the -be- lief that the French language ought to have much the same status in Rhode Island as in Quebec. They do not desire to be Americanized. They want to preserve their own peculiar institutions and their own language. Until 1922 they were fairly well sat- isfied, for until then the control of the schools had been left to local committeee, but in that year the Pack Bill provided that: "The State Board of Education than approve private schools only when it appears that the period of attendance in such school is substan- tially equal to that required by law in the public schools, that the instruc- tion in such schools, and any•studies not taught in the public schools, is in rel tended eventually to the futher-,,the English language, that such in- ance of the gospel for instead of two there were new four missionaries to the Gentiles Barnabas took Mark and went to Cyprus his native land.

These two men had previously been made aware of the particular work they were to do come for their ordination. They had been ministers for some time but now they were to be missionaries to the Gentiles, and their brethren by prayer and fasting and the laying on of hande, solemnly dedicated them to this work of breaking up new ground for their Master even as foreign missionaries to -day are solemnly set aside by the home church to go to distant lands to proclaim the un - searchable riches of Christ. They immediately started eon their way confident that the Holy Ghost 'who sent them forth would accompany them and give them success. Again they took with them 'John Mark, em- ployed possibly in caring for their comfort as they journeyed from place to place through the island of Cyprus, which was the scene 6f their first missionary efforts. He stayed with them until they reached Perga in Pamphylia when he "departing from them returned to Jerusalem." On the returri of Paul and Barna- has to Jerusalem th6y declared all things that God had done with them; and they caused great joy unto all the brethren. From Jerusalem they went back to; Antioch where they continued teaching and preaching the word of the Lord. Some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, "Let us gh again And visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the Word of the Lord, and see how they WORLD MISSIONS The 'unfinished task of evangeliz- ing the heathen world is a tremen- dous one; yet in China to -day it is not as great as when one of its earl- iest missionaries, on travelling down the Yang+te rivers passed hundreds of villages and became heavy of heart as he reflected that not one among all the millions of China had ever heard of the Saviour. A cen- tury ago another of the early mis- sionaries said his highest hope was that in a hundred years' time there might he a thousand converts to Christianity in China. At present there are about six thousand Pro- testant missionaries there and many thousands of professed followers of Christ. • In the East Japan is recognized as EXCRUCIATING PAINS, CRAMPS struction is thorough and efficient." The English - speaking requirement cad the transfer of approval to the State Board were bitterly fought by the French-Canadians and the poli- ticians who represented them. The opponents to the bill were for the most part Democrats, and as the House was Republican, the issue be- came a party one and was passed by a party majority. In the Senate it met practically no opposition. Then it was sefit to Governor Sans Souci, a Republican of French-Canadian ex- traction, for signature or veto. The Governor was in an unpleasant posi- tion. He had either to disappoint men of his race or men of his party. So he tried a manoeuvre that might please both sides. Ther State law pro-, vides that if the Governor does not veto a bill within ten days after the Legislature adjourns it becomes law. He waited twelve days and then ve- toed the bill, contending that there were two Sundays in the intierval and that' therefore he was within his rights in vetoing. The matter was taken to the State Supreme Court and it was decided that the vetoe was un- constitutional. The Peck Bill there- fore became the law of the State in May, 1922. In the course of the discussion it became clear that the issue was not one of religion so much as of race. The Roman Catholic Bishop of Rhode Island approved the bill. The Assistant Commissioner of Educa- tion, who too the matter to the Supreme Court was a Roman Catho- lic. However, in the Legislature an Irish Roman Catholic, Flynn, lead the opposition to the bill, with Mr. Toupin, leader of the Opposition. The French Canadians were not strong enough to prevail in the Legislature, but they were strong enough in the subsequent elections to take Rhode Island out of the Re- publican column and give the Demo- crats a sweeping victory, in the course of which Mr. Flynn became Governor and Mr. Toupin, Lieuten- ant -Governor. In the Lower House the French element had a large ma- jority, but in the Senate the Re publicans retained a small majority. As soon as the House assembled a bill was introduced minifying the provisions of the Peck bill so far as it affected private schools, and re- moving the mandatory teaching of the English language in them. It was recognized that the bill, Eberts,Ont.—" I started with cramps which removed the school authority and bearing -down pains at the riga of from the State Board of Educa- eleven years, and I would get so nervous tion to local school committees, I could hardly stay in bed, and I had would destroy the whole purpose of such pains thatI would scream, and my the Peck Act in communities where mother would call the doctor to give me the French-Canadians were in the something to take.
