(Record of Christian Work) Lesson Title—Pael Before Agrippa. Lesson Passage --Acts 26:19-32. Golden Text—Acts 26:19. After the inten iew which Felix, in the company of hi; wife Drusilla, had with Paul, two years elapsed before Festus succeeded Felix as governor, and during that tine Paul was held a prisoner. Before long the high priest and the chi( f of the Jews in- formed Felix against Paul, desiring that he be sent .o Jerusalem, but Felix said he should be tried at Caes- area. During the trial Felix asked him if he would be willing to ge up to Jerusalem. ard be judged there, to which Paul repned: "I stand at Cae- sar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged." In a few Jays' time King Agrippa and his sister, Bernice, came to Caes- area to salute Festus and he told them about Paul. Then Agrippa said he would also hear the man and Paul was brought into his presence in or- der that Festus might, as he said, have somewhat to write about him," for it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him," King Agrippa said to Paul, "Thou art permitted to speak for thyself," upon which Paul declared his life from his childhood and how wonder- fully he had been converted and call- ed to be an apostle to the Gentiles. Verses 19-23.—Paul's Special Plea. This was but another opportunity for Paul to tell of his faith in Jesus Christ and of the witness he every- where bore to the truth of what Moses and the prophets had proclaim- ed, namely, that the Risen Christ was the hope of Israel. Verses 24-32.—Pleading in Vain. Festus no doubt considered the story of the vision, Paul told them he had seen as an idle tale the outcome of a too vivid imagination. Then, too, Festus would know that the pris- oner was evidently a well educated man and considered that his applica- tion to intense thought had helped to derange his intellect so he cried out: "Paul, thou are beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad." Paul at once appealed to Agrippa to prove he' was not mad. Agrippa had. been many years in that region and could not but have heard of Jesus and of Paul. All the persecuting Paul had done and his remarkable conversion were not things done in a corner. So Paul, addressing the king, asked him a question, which needed no answer for Agrippa was a Jew and of course believed the prophets, and therefore believed what Paul had declared about Jesus and the resurrection. Paul never lost an opportunity of pressing home the gospel message, neither riches nor station in life de- terring him. Agrippa did not deny his belief nor, like Festus, declare Paul to be beside himself but confess- ed that his defence had made a deep impression on him. But it was not a lasting impression. G. L. Stokes, in his Acts of the Apostles, says that the Herods were magnificent, clever, beautiful, But they were of the earth, earthly. Agrippa said indeed to Paul, "with but little persuasion thou wouldest fain make me a Christ- ian." But it was not souls like his for whom the gospel message was in- tended. The Herods knew nothing of the burden of sin or the keen long- ing of souls desirous of holiness and of God. They were satisfied with the present transient scene, and enjoyed it thoroughly. Agrippa's father When he lay a -dying at Caesarea, con- soled himself with the reflection that though his career was prematurely cut short, yet at any rate he had liv- ed a splendid life. And such as the parent had been, such were the chil- dren. King Agrippa and his sister Bernice were true types of the stony ground hearers, with whom "the cares of the world and the deceitful- ness of riches choke the word." And they choked the word so effectually in his case, even when taught by St. Paul, that the only result upon Agrippa, as St. Luke reports it, was this: "Agrippa said unto Festus: This man might have been set at lib- erty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar."

WORLD MISSIONS "There are evidences that religion has come to a new day in Japan. It is getting an ever -widening place in the thinking and yearning of the peo- ple. It is the easiest thing in the world to start a religious conversa- tion, and the response is •immediate and hearty. There are signs that a great heart hunger is abroad in the land, and although they say little about it multitudes are conscious of a great lack in their inner lives. Just now there is a perfect race in the journalistic world of featuring relig- ious articles. Every magazine and paper has taken this new religious interest at its tide and is endeavor- ing to meet this demand by dealing with religions old and new, near relig- ions, as well as fads and fakes." lie Sure You Get The Genuine GILLETT'S FL la LYE fair was out to watch the transfer of scores of trunks, boxes and suit cases containing the personal belong- ings of the Imperial pair. As Curzon House is furnished, it was only personal effects that were moved. Little use has been made of this town residence for the last 20 years. It is a small Georgian howse —small, that is ass royal dwellings go, having only twenty -odd bedrooms —but it is well arranged for enter- taining and is only a stone's throw from Chesterfield House, the London residence of Princess Mary and her husband, Viscount Lascelles. The Duchess of York, before her marriage on April 26, 1923, was Lady Elizabeth Bowes -Lyon, third daugh- ter of the Scottish Earl of Strath- more. The romance of the Duke of York and the Scottish earl's daugh- ter had its beginning at the wedding of Princess Mary and Viscount Las- celles in 1922, and was hailed as a real love match. Prior to her mar- riage the Duchess was the only un- married daughter of the Strathmore family, and as her mother was ill she acted as hostess at Glamis Castle, the ancestral seat of the Strathmores, when, in 1921, a royal party, includ- ing Princess Mary and the Duke of York, were entertained there. The Duke is said to have proposed three times before he was accepted.

Thopi }order, said: °Her Majesty, ty,. Queen Alexandra, passed ...away at 545 o'clock. The lag, Queen and members .of the Royal Family were present, "The Prince of ;Wales and the DuJ a of York were due to arrive at Wolferton, near Sandringham, by train, at 5.29 o'clock, but the train was ten minutes late. The King's sons were escorted to the 'royal wait- ing roout of the Wolferton Station, where the stationmaster broke the news of their grandmothers death." Queen Alexandra passed to rest amid the peaceful rural surround- ings which she loved so well. Since Thursday morning, when the doctors' announcement made it patent that the aged queen was in a critical con- dition, the hamlet of Sandringham and its tiny neighbors, Wolferton and Dersingham, which claimed' ,her for their very own, had waited heavy- hearted for the end. Throughout the long hours little groups lingered, wet -eyed, at the por- tals of the royal residence, hoping against hope for some word that their beloved mistress would arrive. Thus died the radiantly beautiful Danish Princess who captivated Eng- land 62 years ago when she came to be the bride of the then Prince of Wales, and who held the Empire's love and reverence through three gen- erations as the Princess of Wales, as Edward the Seventh's Queen and then as the Queen Mother. There was a poignant note of tragedy in the /final drama of Queen Alexandra's long life, for her favor- ite grandchild, the Prince of Wales, was not among those at her death '..ed. His special train feeling its way through the fog, which knows no respect either for princes or paupers in England, arrived at Sand- ringham a few minutes after the end came. The heir to the throne never saw his grandmother alive af- ther the visit he made to greet her just after his return from his South African and South American tour. The grief-stricken Prince, accom- panied by his brother, the Duke of York, went from the little station at Sandringham, where the station- master broke the news to him, to the royal house of mourning, Sandring- ham House, which a heavy pall of fog has wrapped in a melancholy shroud. The villagers of Sandringham and its arjoining hamlets and the country folk of the royal estates are lament- ing the death of the womanly Queen who endeared herself to her subjects in her adopted country in a measure unprecedented in English history. Once she was a poor little Princess, as Princesses go, but she loved the fairy stories of her native Denmark and her life was much like one of them. She grew to be a most beau- tiful young girl and was romantically wooed and wed by the Prince from England. And in the fullness of.time the "sea King's daughter from over the sea", as Tennyson sang of her, sat on the throne beside her King. She lived long and happily, and died bequeathing memories of a per- sonality as fragrant with lovable qualities as that of any Queen in history. It was the second heart attack Fri- day morning that proved too much for Queen Alexandra's enfeebled consti- tution. She weakened gradually in spite of the administration of oxy- gen. At the end she died as peace- fully as she has lived in recent years• in her beloved Norfolk country home, where, it is said, here, she expressed the desire to be buried. Sandringham was dark and desert- ed after sundown. The silent groups which stood about Thursday, and throughout the following day until the news spread of Alexandra's pass- ing, had all disappeared. The inhab- itants refrained from manifesting their grief publicly, but behind draw blinds there were many ,soirow'ful reminiscences' of the goodness of heart and nobility of character of the dow- ager Queen, especially among aged folk who have grown old with Alex- andra. Wherever there was a wireless re- ceiving set men stood bareheaded and women folded their hands when a prayer was broadcast and during the funeral march which followed it. One of the,nost pathetic figures on the scene during the last trying hours was the aged Miss Charlotte Knollys, who had been in attendance upon Her Majesty for fifty-five years. During all that time—throughout the greater part of Alexandra's life in England —Miss Knollys rendered service of striking devotion, receiving in return the deep affection of her royal mis- tress. Perhaps there has been no parallel in the history of royal houses for such a Iong and loving association ss theirs. The Queen and Miss Knollys had grown old together and were al- most inseparable, the latter being more a personal friend than a serv- ant. Miss Knollys, of about the same age as Alexandra, has also been feel- ing the ravages of time, and lately has been relieved of more than one round of her secretarial duties. Queen Alexandra suffered a great blow in June when she lost another old friend, General Sir Dighton Pro- byn, wearer of the Victoria Cross, who was the controller of her house- hold. Ile was ninety-one, and had served Alexandra faithfully for fifty- two years. To the last, although his tall figure was bent and frail, he in- sisted upon discharging the duties of his office. Something of his mistress' affec- tion for him was shown on his ninety- first birthday. When he opened the gate to the church in Sandringham for his Queen on that day, she stop- ped and tenderly kissed him. The tragedy of the Queen Mother's last moments was heightened by the non -arrival of the Prince of Wales, her favorite grandchild. Ills train front London was delayed by fog. The intensity of the Prince's grief was evidenced on his face, when, af- ter a brief moment in the station, he entered a motor with the Duke of York, his brother and drove slowly *rough the thickening fog to the house of mourning.

Their fresh flay r 'neg. thz,m any who eked out a precarious existence as a, teacher of the banjo. When the business of teaching fell off he would vary the monotony of his hunadrum life by writing a song vitth words and music. Then there would always fol- low a frantic effort to sell his .song to the music publishers. More often he failed to dispose of it and the manuscript would become relegated to the company of other rejections. W'hen he did make a sale he was in- deed fdrtunate if the selling price netted him the rent of his "stuoio." Undaunted, he kept on writing as- siduously, until one day, however, he struck a melody that forced the pass- ing throng to pause in their mad rush and listen. From every section in America was heard the captivating strain hummed and warbled' by every- body.; From the time the milkm.en maa their early morning rounds un- til the lights were extinguished in the homes at night the nation joined in the refrain. That settled it. Charles K. Harris, the poor young man who wrote "After the Ball," was na.longer poor. The song was inspired by a true incident Harris beheld one evening right "after the ball." He had been invited to a dancing affair in Chi- cago with his future wife. Upon emerging into the street when the affair was over, he noticed a very attractive girl, unescorted, near him. With a slight inquisitiveness he turned to his fiancee and niildly en- quired how it came about that so charming a person was unaccompan- ied to the dance. He was told that this girl and her sweetheart had a misunderstanding due to some triv- iality and both had been too obstin- ate to acknowledge their errors, hence it led to their estrangement. Returning to Milwaukee, the epi- sode of the estranged lovers kept re- volving in Harris' mind as a suitable idea for a new ballad. Those were the days beyond recall, when the pop- ular song yielded a story. And so it came to pass that both words and music of "After the Ball" were born. Having completed the ballad, Har- ris refrained from making his cus- tomary fruitless pilgrim:age to the music publishers. Instead he tucked the manuscript under his arm and monde hi sway to the stage entrance of .a local theatre where Annie Whit- ney, a well known vhriety star, was appearing. He arrived at the con- clusion that only by having his ballad sung on the stage by experienced singers could he ever hope to catch the public's fancy. Annie Whitney accepted the manu- script and promised the struggling author and composer to sing his bal- lad the following week in Providence, Chinatown" arrived in Milwaukee, Harris cornered J. Aldridh Libby, a noted baritone with the organization, and' displayed a copy of the same The title caught the singer's eye and Harris's next move was to hum the melody to him between snatches of conversation. Taking the copy from him, Libby handed it over to his orchestra leader during re- hearsal. That night when "A Trip to China- town" opened Libby sang `After the Ball" before a crowded audience, which greeted it with thunderous applause. The same reception fol- lowed Libby throughout the country whenever he sang this ballad. By this time the public were rushing to the music stores for copies of "After 1 the Ball," and Harris became knownt . as not chily the author and composer of one of the greatest selling songs in America, but as the publisher as I well.

Several masked men attacked four unarmed brothers at Laughaun Bridge, near Tulle, and all were wounded. The brothers had under- taken the repair of the bridge by contract for the Clare County Coun- cil, and their action seems to have caused resentment in some quarters. They were engaged on the work when armed and masked men sud- denly appeared a short distance from them, and in the space of five min- utes fired 30 shots at them. The vic- tims vainly sought stelter in the river bed. Having apparently exhausted their ammunition the attackers ran towards' the brothers who fled wound- ed. One man received numerous pel- lets in the head, back and legs; a second was wounded in the jaw; a third in the hands and right leg, andl the fourth in the hip and legs.
