S. S. LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 15
Lesson Topic—Paul in Jerusalem.
Lesson Passage—Acts 21:27-39, 22,
17-22.
Golden Text—Acts 22:15.
More than twenty years had elaps-
ed since Paul's conversion on the road
to Damascus. They had been years
of unceasing and intense activity. He
was now on his way from Ephesus to
Jerusalem.. When at • Caesarea he
spent some days during which time a
prophet, ' named Agabus, predicted
Paul's approaching captivity. The
brethrenbesought him to change his
mind but nothing would dissuade him
from celebrating the Feast as he had
all along proposed . doing. To -day's
lesson recounts the fulfilment of the
prophesy by Agabus. „
Rumors had been industriously and
falsely' circulated about Pa'il's attitude
to the Law of Moses. James, the Bish-
op of Jerusalem, told him of these
rumors and recommended that he
should unite himself with certain
Christian Nazaritee, and perform the
Jewish rites customary in such cases:
These sacrifices were very expensive,
and it was always regarded as a
mark of patriotic piety , when any
stranger coming to Jerusalem. offer-
ed to defray the necessary 'charges
for the poorer Jean. St. James ad-
vised St. Paul to adopt this course
and thus publicly proclaim to those
who opposed him that, though he dif-
fered from them as regards the Gen-
tiles yet as regards the Jews whe-
ther at Jerusalem or throughout the
world at large, he was totally mis-
represented when men asserted that
he taught the Jews to reject the Law
of Moses. St. Paul was guided , by
the advice of St. James, and proceed-
ed to complete the ceremonial pre-
scribed for the Nazarites.. This was
the turning -point of his fate. Jerus-
alem was thronged at that time with
strangers from every part of the
world. Many were present from
Ephesus and to them Paul was well
known as an enthusiastic Christian
teacher, towards whom the syna-
gogues of Ephesus felt the bitterest
liontility. They had often plotted a-
gainst him but had hitherto failed to
effect their purpose. Now, however,
they seemed to see their chance, They
had seen him in the city in company
with Trophimus, an uncircumcised
Christian, belonging to their own city;
-tine ,therefore whose presence within
the temple was a capital offence. They
raised a cry that he had defiled the
Holy Place by bringing into it an. up -
circumcised Greek; and thus roused
the populace to seize the Apostle, drag
him from the sacred place and murder
him. During the celebration of the
Feasts the Roman pentinels, stationed
upon the' neighboring tower which ov-
erlooked the Temple courts, watched
the assembled crowds very closely,
apprehensive of a riot. As soon
therefore, as the first symptoms of
an outbreak occurred, the alarm was
given, the chief captain hurried' to
the spot, and St. Pain was rescued
for ' the moment. His religion was
being put to the test even as years
year betwe theta to -tne „hotel for

At another hotel the cloak -room men
have to guarantee the was of 30
or 40 of the other hotel servants wleo,
though they work almost as hard, do
not get any tips from the hotel guests.
In each case the cloak -room men
make an average of about $2,000 a
year apiece, on top of what they have
to pay back.
Tips. have increased in Europe tre-
mendously since the war. At Simp-
son's in the Strand you used to give
the carver a .penny for slicing you a
cut off the joint. Now you give him
a dime. At the Ritz and the Carl -
tore also in London, before the war
the commissionaire used to pay only
n2.50 a week to be allowed to work
for him employers. To -day he pays
between $'500 and $1,000 for the priv-
ilege. One of the best known hotel
porters in .London for the last thirty
years was Mockett of the Savoy.
Mockett retired three or four years
ago, a wealthy man. Incidentally, he
wrote his reminiscences at the re-
quest of the Savoy publicity depart-
ment just before his departure. But
they are still' under lock and key in
one of the directors' strong boxes!
About 30,000 people• constitute the
High Life of Europe. In London there
are about 3,000, though during the
season the number is considerably
augmented. Possibly 8,000 people
lead the High Life between the end
of April and ethe beginning of July
in the West End. Yet this is a low
figure considering the extraordinary
number of first-class dance clubs, ho-
tels, and hotel -restaurants, who rely
on the 3,000 for enough money to en-
able the maitres d'hotel to have motor
cars, the restaurant managers tO,ride
their own hacks in the Row, and the
directors to have houses in Park Lane.
Not all of the 3,000 are socially
quite elect. :But they have money,
and plenty of it. They do not, how-
ever, spend it all in England. Easters
are spent at Le Touquet, Witsuns at
Deauvilleas Augusts and Septembers
in Antibes and ,Biiarritz, Christmas-
ses in Cannes or 'Monte Carlo, or St.
Moritz. la Haute Vie is perambula-
tory. At one minute she is at As-
cot. At the next at- the Grand Prix
in Paris. The day after the Grand
Semaine at Deauville the place looks
as deserted as Grosvenot Square in
August. The high season at. Deau-
ville lasts for exactly nineteen days.
Andre, the genius of the place, has
tried to stretch it for the last three
years to twenty-five, and he has fail-
ed.
Concentrated gaiety, concentrated
spending, and • sudden concentrated
restlessness. That is La Haute Vie—
anie that is why it costs so much.
There i* an old proverb, "The higher
you gorthe fewer." The trouble with
High Life at the present is that we
have no 1930 or 1931 profiteers. The
war profiteers, with barely half a
dozen exceptions, have all faded out.
The wise ones have put their money
in gilt-edged securities and live in the
country. The foolish ones are back
where they started. Yet High Life
goes on almost as gaily as before.
One of the most interesting angles
of High Life is that of the restaur-
ant. •Sometimes you may wonder
why a slice of melon costs $1.50 at a
time when you could buy a whole one
for 65 cents in the, shops. It is not
the melon you are paying for, You
are paying, for the $3,000 a week
orchestra, the $1,000 a week china and
glass breakages, the $450 a week el-
ectric light and gas and coal bill, the
$1,000 a week salary list paid to the
forty people you never see, like the
night watchiaan and timekeeper and
the chef. You do not pay- for ;the
service in London however, for the
waiters do not cost the restaurant a
penny. They live on their tips.
Off hand it may look as though the
restaurants which are frequented by
the High Lifers make an exorbitant
sum. But it must be remembered
that they are closed up for at least
one month during the year. and that
they don't make the same sums dur-
ing slump times as they do in times
of a boom;.'and allowances must be
made for such conditions.
before he had hailed men and women
and put them in prison for their 'de-
votion to the .same Lord whom he

Christian world has always been an-
tagonistic to those whom God has
sent.

22:17-22. Paul having received per-
mission from the chief captain to ad-
dress the multitude from the stairs,
did so. They listened to the story of
his conversion very quietly till he
came to tell of the vision God vouch-
safed to him in the Temple some 20
years before, warning him to leave
Jerusalem, when as he uttered the
words, "Depart, for I will send thee
forth—far hence unto the Gentiles,"
all their pent-up rage • burst forth
anew. Again the chief captaintook
charge of Paul and would have flog-
ged him had he not claimed the priv-
ilege of a Roman citizen and escaped
the torture for the time being.
WORLD MISSIONS
Engaging Indirect Passage
The mother of the famous mission-
ary, Jacob Chamberlain of India, led
not only her own distinguished son,
but also more than forty other young
people into Christian service through
her prayers and her personal work.
A school teacher in teaching geog-
raphy incidentally taught missions al-
so.
Eliza Agnew, "Mother of a thousand
deuiliters," went out from that class
to Ceylon. .
A Sunday school superintendent in-
terested himself in the circulation of
missionary papers in his school. A,
little girl who became interested in
reading the papers became a valuable
missionary in Japan. •
A father took time on Sunday af-
ternoons to talk with his little son
and show him missionary pictures.
The father never'sailed as a mission-
ary but the world knows of .the work
of Alexander Duff, the son, who be-
came the pioneer of higher education
in India.
Someone placed a missionary book,
"The Star of the East," in the hands
of a young man. Adonirain Judson
read the book and decided to give up
his delightful parish in Boston to fol-
low the leading of the Star into the
mission field.
• John Williams, "Apostle to the
South Seas," attributed his first in-
terest in missions to the stirring mis-
zionary sermons preached by his
pastor.
Mothers arid fathers in their homes,
Sunday school superintendents and
teachers in the schools, pastors in
their 'pulpits, friends across the street
—whatever our occupation, whatever
our limitations, many who cannot go
in person may go through others they
lead into the work. ,
The High Cost
of High Life
I have always felt an attraction for
figures, when they are concerned with
High Life as opposed to High Finance.
Some one not long ago worked out
that his silk hat cost him $90 a year
in' the dimes and quarters with which
he retrieved it from the cloak room
men at the supper restaurants, dance
club, theatres and hotels where he
had parked it for an hour or two. At
a certain famous London hotel the
three cloak room men pay $5,000 a

It is the big rprofit on wines that
enables the rastagrant manager to
supply his clients with all the High
Life 'luxuries in the way of music,
lighting, accessibility in the West
End, first-class ends, spotless .table -
linen, gleaming silver and first-class
waiters, and all the other things
which differentiate it from the ordin-
ary' eating -house. The restaurant
charges the wine merchant handsome-
ly for the privilege of having his
newest old brandy or hock or moselle
or champagne on the list and in the
cellars.
In New York conditions are smile -
what different, for there the head
waiter may have to pay as much as
$100 a week to keep his job. In Lon-
don, while he pays nothing, he is
guaranteed from, $7,500 to $15,000 a
year. His lieutenants earn $40 a
week; the next grade of waiters $18
a week, and the assistant waiters a
fixed sum of $12. Head waiters in
the fashionable restaurants have one
very pleasant little perquisite. They
are allowed to keep the difference be-
tween the $5 charged for table decor-
ations and the 65 cents that the dozen
carnations cost in the market that
morning. In Paris this amounts to
good money, for in many of the
Boites the same handful of 'lowers
move from table to table as the cli-
ents leave, and each time a hundred
francs is put on the bill for them.
Half a dozen dusty roses may earn
as much as $40 in a night this way.
One of the most rvaleallale assets
of hotels in paying their dividends is
a first-class banqueting manager. The
banqueting manager needs to have a
big clientele among the secretaries of
every kind of Masonic, Philanthropic,
Sporting, Regimental and Businese
Society. If he is friendly with them
and can persuade them to bold their
weekly, monthly, or annual banquets
at his. hotel, his employers, even if
they are losing money 'over the rest-
aurant and the bedrooms, can show a
handsome profit on the year. These
banqueting managers must budget
very carefully, however, to make their
profits. if someone insists, on having
roast chicken instead of chicken en
casserole it may make a difference of
8125 to the profits, because while the
whole of an inferior chicken inaYt.be

Montreal and Toronto newspapers
heralded the arrival of the first
through trains at their reepective sta-
tions as important steps in the de-
velopment pf travel. For the first
time, copies of the Montreal Gazette,
Herald, Transcript and Advertiser
were received in Toronto on the day
of publication, while the Toronto
Leader, a paper which long sine
ceased publication, reached Montreal
at 10 &clock on the night of Its is-
sue. At Montreal a grand ball was
held in honour of the occasion, and at
each of the little towns along the line,
great throngs of people were on hand
from the country- districts to see the
new locomotive as it swept along to-
wards its destination.
'Since Dominion Day, 1.900, the in-
tervening towns have witnessed the
daily panning in each direction of the
International Limited, which now
makes the journey between Montreal
and Toronto in six hours for the 334
intervening miles, the fastest train
over a like distance in the world.

Socialists say that High Life 'is a
bad thing for the country. But there
is a difference of opinion here. High
Life causes more money to circulate
more rapidly—except where the cred-
it system is concerned—than any pro-
cess ever diecovered. Hundreds of
thousands of people are employed all
the year round as electricians, mill -
hands, carpenters, vegetable garden-
ers, butchers, seamstresses and so on
to provide the raw materials without
which High Life could not tenist.
Whether or not High Life is a good
thing for the High Lifers is another
matter, and one which concerns them
only. It is interesting to note, how-
ever, that the proprietor of one of
London's most High Life supper rest-
aurants had a "marvellous time at an
old inn where he had eggs and bacon
for breakfast, salmon and cucumber
for lunch, and fresh lamb .and straw-
berries and cream for dinner," and all
for $5 for two whole days.

Most people who suffer, either oc-
casionally or chronically from gas,
sourness and indigestion, have now
discontinued disagreeable 'diets, pat-
ents foods and the use of harmful
drugs, stomach tonics, medicines and
artificial digestants, and instead, fol-
lowing the advice so often given in
these columns, take a teaspoonful or
four tablets of Bisurated Magnesia in
a little water after meals with the
result that their stomach no longer
troubles them, they are able to eat
as they please and theynenjoy much
better health. Those who use Bisur-
ated Magnesia never dread the ap-
proach of meal time because they
know this wonderful anti -acid and
food corrective, which can be obtained
from any good drug store, will in-
stantly neutralize the stomach acid-
ity, sweeten the stomach, prevent food
fermentation, and make digestion
easy. Try this plan yo'urself, but be

First Railroad Train
To Toronto Recalled
Seventy-five years ago last month
the first train between Montreal and
Toronto operated over lines which are
now part of the •Canadian National
System, it was recalled recently by
railroad historians, and ;Monday, Oc-
tober 27th, 1856, was an important
day in the life of both cities. Trains
had previously operated between
Point St. Charles station in Montreal
and Brockville, and between Brock-
ville and Belleville but the train which
which operated out of Montreal on
October 27, 1856, was the first through
train to connect the two growing cit-
ies. At that time the run between
Montreal and Toronto required four-
teen hours ; today's International
Limited, traversing the, same track-
age, 334 miles between the two cit-
ies, covered the distance in the time
of six hours, the record for' daily pas-
senger trains service over a like dist-
ance. Ezra Pringle, former lack -
smith, of Napanee, is one Canadian
who saw the first train operate
through his home station and who
was down at the station to watch
the International Limited pass
through on her regular run, com-
memorating the seventy-fifth anni-
versary of service on the longest
steam railway on the continent.

Former King of Spain
- May Become Englishman
In last week's paper we read tha
among those who went to 10 Downing
Street to offer their congratulations t
Ramsay MacDonald' was Alfonso, th
former King of Spain. It is quit
possible that the visit was more than
the ordinary courtesy which we ex
pect from royalty, even in exile. When
Alfonso left Spain and was faced with
the necessity of finding another coun
try to live in, he went first to France,
where he was dropped from a Span
ish warship at a deserted point in
Marseilles harbor. But soon after
ward he appeared in England. In
the House of Commons there were
many questions asked as to the future
intentions of "Mr. Bourbon," as h
was called, while a wholly official lack
of information was vouchsafed in th
replies. The questions, we infer, wer .
mostly asked by radical members, and
were hostile in tone. Radicals, whil
they are strongly in favor of ex -king.
find equally attractive the idea tha
they live somewhere else. It is true
that England has been habitually a
home of kings without a country, bu
that was a time where there were no
Labor governments.
The ex -Empress Eugenie ' died
there. Former King 'Manuel of Port
ugal has been a citizen for many
years, and it is known that Alfonso
has spoken of England as his second
country. Moreover, his wife is a
member of the Royal House of Wind
sor, and was born and - educated in
England. It would seem natural if
Alfonso should desire to take up his
residence there awaiting, perhaps
the call to return to Spain. But the
fact that he has not formally re
nounced the throne creates obvious
ly a target for Republican assassins
Now that the Labor Government
has been destroyed it is not im
probable that Alfonso, if he desires
to do so, may be permitted to live
in England. At least his visit to
Ramsay ,MacDonald suggests that to
our suspicious ;mind. We do not
know why he, as a rich man and
therefore a potential taxpayer of
great merit, should not be welcomed.
In the meantime he continue's to
roam about Europe. His present pied-
a-terre is at Fontainebleau in one of
the lordliest hotels in Europe. It was
here he sought refuge after his ex-
pulsion last April. The story is told
that he arrived with a single suitcase,
so hurried had been his departure.
The implication was that Alfonso re-
fused to believe until the last moment
that he would be so unceremoniously
turned out. But the contents of the
suitcase enabled him to clothe him-
self in civilized if not regal fashion
until the Republican officials at Mad-
rid forwarded his personal belongings
including his various royal orders. It
is said that the first parced to reach
him was composed of half a dozen
pink coats and riding breeches, though
his majesty was certainly in no jovnal
hunting mood at the moment. Pres-
ently -the rest of his wardrobe arriv-
ed and to -day wherever Alfonso is
seen he is likely to be attired in the
famous green hat, the brown raglan
overcoat, the soft collar and the gold
tie pin which Were so familiar to the
people of Madrid. The old walking
stick is still crooked in the same in-
souciant manner over his left arm,
and the quick smile is as charming
as ever, as people bare their hats or
lift their hands in salute when he ap-
pears in public.
At Fontainebleau -it is said that the
I3ourbon family lived in unwonted
domesticity, dining together at every
meal and not only on Sundays as was
the court custom. The king is known
to be devoted to his wife and his -chil-
dren and it was supposed that he, was
now indulging his natural inclina-
tions in a manner that had previously
been found impossible. tut Alfonso
did not remain long in Fontainehleau,-'

the Spanish republic has dealt with
him in the matter of finances we do
not know, but Alfonso is considered
a rich matt, and not likely to become
a public burden upon whatever coun-
try he finally chooses as his home. ,
Does he ever expect to return to
Spain? We presume no exiled 'king
ever was able "to rid himself of that
hope. at is not known that Alfonso
has formally abdicated. His last
public statement on this matter was,
so far as we remember, an assertion
that he still remained King of all
the Spaniards. But from Fontaine-
bleau has come the story that the
King really abdicated in favor of
his third son, Don Juan, and that
other renunciations Were forthcom-
ing from memlbers of the family who
might have claimed precedence. Don
Juan was In the Spanish navy when
the revolution took place, but es-
caped. He is now a cadet at Dart-
mouth and is said to be happy in
contemplating the future as an Eng-
lish naval officer. Royalists in •
Spain have always believed that a
transfusion of English blood would
be necessary to cure Spanish mon-
archs of their unconstitutionalism.
Undoubtedly Don Juan has ' this
blood,. but there is great doubt
whether there are to be any more
Spanish monarchs of whatever line-
age.

Remarkable Sapphire

pectin open market, but are immedir-
ately sealed by the first prospective

transaction is complete, or until his
offer has been definitely rejected.
Almost all kinds of precious stones
are found in the 'Mogok Ruby Mines,
except diamonds and emeralds. The
absence of emeralds is curio* since
-
all the conditions of their presence are
favorable, and they are usually as-
sociated with many of the stones that
occur in Burma. Yet none have ever
been found. The gem -bearing area in,.
however, very rich in other things.
Rubies predominate. Sapphires are
chemically identical with rubies, ex-
cept as regards color and hardness.
Tliey are much more widely distribut-
ed over the world, but in Upper Bur-
ma they are limited to a circle of' 25
miles radius, comprising the villages
of Gwebin, Mogok, Khabine, an&Ber-
nardmyo, which are all celebrated for
their sapphires. Those bf Bernard-
myo have an indigo tinge, which is a
defect, (The best sapphires are ultra-
marine, or corn -flower blue—the lat-
ter being the more sparkling and bril-
liant by artificial light). But the in-
digo sapphires are, of course, also
valuable to a certain extent.
The Mogok Mines are chiefly re-
markable for their rubies. Yet, int
January and February' of 1923, the
Native Mines alone (not including the
Burma 'Ruby Mines Company) produe_
ed sapphires to the value of Rs. 1,-
000,000 (the rupee has a fixed value.
of 36 cents).
The circumstances surrounding the
present stone are romantic. It was
unearthed in a ravine ge Gwebin,
which has ,not been a very popular
site of recent years. It belongs to a
syndicate of comparatively poor peo-
ple, of whom one is an ex-stonebreak-
er and another. a hospital assistant
within a year of his retirement; and
it was found within six days of the
opening of the mine. Of these days,.
five were spent in clearing kregle and
building a hut, and the stone was 'act-
ually secured after two or three hours'
work. It is believed that the work-
men will receive on the,usual plan an
amount to about Rd. 12,000 each,
The- Gwebin stone is perfect and
flawless. It has 'been seen by only a
vera ,few persons, ;but they are peo-
ple who know a gem when they see ite

trust. This sapphire is of the very
finest color, and weighs 1,000 carats..
Roughly, it must be as large as a
small tea -cup. _ A stone of this sort
presents problems. There are no lon-
ger what Tom Sawyer describes as
"slathers of kings crowding around"
n Europe. Indian maharajahs, of

do not maintain a steadily rising value
