cannot be properly attended to without a bathroom, as
its absence is only an excuse for neglecting Nature, and

the bathroom is the best part of the house. 1 the night before he was to have been
brought forth fur execution. ,After
the angel left him he apparently
stood still awhile getting his bear-
ings, and finding himself in the vi-
cinity of a friend's house he hasten-
ed towards it. "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. On their re-
turn to Antioch, having fulfilled their
' ministry we find them taking with

disagreement between these two men
who had long been boon companions,
who had on the same day been sol-
emnly designated for very special
work, who had in that work endured
hardness as good soldiers of Jesus
Christ, but fur all they fell out.
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-

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

politicians who opposed thetn, and are
not without hope of eventually forcing
a change in the educational system of
the State. 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

they were engaged in the public wor-
ship of God, on a special fast day
that the Holy -Ghost said, either by a
voice from heaven, or by a stronk
impulse upon the minds ef the pre,-
phets, "Separate me, Barnabas, and
Saul, for the work whereunto I have
called them." 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. •

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,
