TRUMBULL (Editor of The Sunday School Times) PAUL IN A ROMAN PRISON Sunday, August. 20. Acts 16:16-40. GOLDEN TEST Itajoiee in the Lord alway; and a- gain I say, Rejoice, Philippians 4:1. Paul and his missionary party stay- ed on in Phillippi, and Lydia and her household was probably but few of many converts. As the missionaries went to pray one day, perhaps at the place of worship by the river- side, a young woman followed them, and cried out: "These men are the servants of the most high God, which show unto us the way of salvation," This was kept up for many days, un- til Paul realized that he must put a stop to it. Buc why? Is not public testimony to evangelists that are serving God and showing the way of salvation a good thing? It depends upon who does it. More than once in the New Testament we find God forbidding true testimony to Himself under cer- tain circumstances. This young wo- man was demon -possessed. The in- spired record tells us this, and adds that her "spirit of divination" meant money -baking by her masters, for she was a slave. There are such things as supernatural fortune-telling and spirit seances. Much of this may be fraudulent; some of it is undoubt- edly genuine, but when it is it comes from the world of evil spirits, never from the spirits of human beings who have died. The New Testament tells us repeatedly that evil spirits testified to Christ against their will, and this testimony was rebuked by the Lord during His earthly ministry, and here by Paul. God needs no help from Satan and his followers, even when they speak the truth, Paul commanded the evil spirit in 'the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to leave the girl, and the spirit had to obey. The girl was delivered from her awful bondage. But her owners had lost a money -making property in their now normal slave. They decid- IJ ed to get rid of Paul and Silas, and accused theist before the Magistra+es of teaching 'things unlawful for Ro- mans. .The Magistrates believed this false testimony, and announced a severe verdict: that the prisoners be beaten with many stripes and cast into prison. The Golden Text seems a strange one, but it was wonderfully fulfilled that night of the missionaaies' im- prisonment. It was to the Philippian Christians ten years lacer that Paul wrote: "Rejoice in the Lord always; and at;7.tn I say, Rejoice," And Paul never preached beyond what he was -willing to do. Alway meant alway; and it included that night when he and Silas, their backs bleeding from many stripes, their feet fast in the cruel stocks, sat in the filth and dark- ness of the prison. They were so happy they could not keep still about it, and they sang aloud for joy, pray- ing and singing praises unto God. The ocher prisoners heard thele, and .lust have thought them a strange kind of convict. But when God's children love and worship and trust Him, no matter what the cir- cumstances, they cannot keep still about it—and God is very likely not to keep still about it, either. "Sud- denly there was a great earthquake," as God decided 'co respond to the trust and love of His imprisoned children. Paul Rader has said: "You can't beat God giving," and Paul and Siler found it so that night. and brought them out and said: "Sirs,what must I do to be saved?" Why should this pagan jailer have been able -to think of only one thing in that amazing moment ----his own salvation„ Again the Bible does lot tell us. But the Il:oly Spirit acte with atvift convicting power on men's souls at times like this. Perhaps this same jailer had heard Paul and Silas in their open air preaching in the streets of Philippi. Perhaps he hall heard them praying and singing aloud that night and had been troub- led in his soul about is relation to , God. A good many people are saying that we must not use the words "saved" and "lost" any more in seek- ing to bring people to Christ. They tell us people today would not know what we meant by those words. This ie just one of Satan's lies to. keep ns away from to heart of things and to keep the unsaved from Christ. Every one has known what is meant by "saved" and "lost" since sin first entered the race, and they always will know. Let us be as bold and an - compromising in telling others about , the wages of sin and the gift of God a were the first missionaries. • "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." The man who is agonizing over his lost condition is ready to be- lieve, and the jailer eagerly listened. Paul went on and 'told the Gospel story. The whole household of the jailer listened and believed. The two prisoners were taken out of their cells and welcomed into the home of the jailer, who washed their stripes; there was a midnight baptismal ser- vice, and then a supper of f ellow- ship and rejoicing. It was one of the strangest and most glorious scenes in The foundations of the prison were i the whole Bible story. And it is a true story, and we who believe shall shaken; all the doors were opened; I have an opportunity of talking it the shackles fell off every prisoner; over with that jailor and his house - and the keeper of the prison, seeing hold some clay in the presence of the what had happened, was about to corn Lord. mit suicide.

She is said to have ilt•ed no leaver than two million shots, HIT life, told by Courtney Ryley Cooper, forms a thrilling story in his bock, "Annie Oakley, Woman -at- Artns." She was fifteen when the famous team 02 Butler and Company arrived in Cincinnati. An hotelkeeper sug- gested a shooting match between Butler, famous for deeds of daring with firearms, and an nnlcnotvn challenger. Butler found his opponent the small, pretty country ,girl, Annie Oak- ley. She beathim, married him, and W01.1 world-wide renown. Oakley and Butler went from suc- cess to success until they became stars with Buffalo Bill. In 1857, BuiTal" Bill went to Lan - dont to adtl to the entertainments of Queen Victoria's Jubilee Year, and after seeing the markswoman at a command performance, the Prince of Wales wrote to Buffalo Bill: ;'Will the little girl, Annie Oakley, who shoots so cleverly in your shosg, ob- ject to shooting a friendly match with the Grand Duke Michael of Russia? We will arrive at Earl's Court at 10.30 this morning,—Edward." The Grand Duke, one of the finest shots in Russia, missed fourteen of the fifty targets; Annie Oakley miss- ed only three. As time went on, no tricks seemed too hard for "Little Miss Sure -Shot." Pour balls were thrown into the air and she broke them all before they reached the ground, changing her double-barrelled gun in the midst of the feat. Another trick was to stand twenty yards behind her gun, wait until two balls had been thrown up, and then rush forward and break them both while they were still in the air. She shot at the thin edge of a play- ing card held in her husband's hand and sliced the card in two. Site knocked a coin from between his thumb and forefinger at thirty pacts, and bit a swinging ball as it circled about his head at the end of a string. Once, in a contest, she fired one thousand shots at composition balls thrown into the air. She hit 043 times, Perhaps her greatest feat was to lire five thousand rounds in a day, doing the loading herself. Of the first thousand shots she missed some twenty. Of the second, only sixteen. Then, tiring, her misses became more frequent, but she ended up by estab- lishing a record of hitting 4,773 fly- ing targets out of a possible five thousand!

MY LADY'S pertinent of Agriculture collected samples of seed being sown in various parts of the county. These samples represented what was going into the ground on various farms. The sam- ples have since been analysed by the Dominion Seed Branch and the re- sults are not only interesting but startling. Of, the 42 samples submitted 34 were of cereals, wheat, oats or barley or mixtures of these, and 8 were small seeds, Of the 34 cereals only two graded No. 1, three graded No. 2 three graded No. 3, and 26 were rejected. Of the 26 rejected seven contained too many weeds and seven failed to germinate up to minimum standards; the retraining 12 rejected samples were classed as such not on account of weed seeds or lack of ger- mination but because they were mix- tures ixtures for which no grading provis- ion is made. However, disregarding this fact five of this lot were No. 1 for quality, three were No. 2 and four No. 3. The small seeds graded somewhat better; three were No. I, two No. 2, two No. 3 and one sample was re- jected on account of lack of . ger- mination. It might bo said then taking free - don from weeds and germination qualities into consideration the fol- lowing summarizes the 42 samples: Grade No, 1-10 Grade No. 2—S. Grade No, 3-9 Rejected—Weed Seeds -7, Rejected—Germination poor -8. The best of the cereals ob'caineci was a sample of barley which con- tained 431 oats and ono field pea to the pound but not a single weed seed, It gertninatocl 100 per cent at 10 days. The poorest of the cereal samples, designated barley, contain- ed 123 seeds from cultivated plants other than barley and 859 weed seeds to the pound. The small seeds, grasses anti clov- ers were fairly good samples except that the timothy in most cases was lulled badly which is of course ob- jeccionablo and considered by the analyst in snaking a grade. Generally speaking then it would appear that more care should be taken in usinr clean seed and when in doubt about the quality of the seed farmers Ahoutd remember that grade certificates may be ob'cained free of cost on three samples in a single year. Even if it is thought that the sample is free of weeds it is well to know how it will germinate. SOFA PILLOWS Hot days are passed pleasantly if one takes it easy in a shady place with a little hand -sewing. Sofa pil- lows are one suggestion. One could even piece up little gaudy bits into quilted cushions that are very smart right now. NEW HANDKERCHIEFS The gingham -plaid linen handker- chiefs, in browns, tans and yellows is the newest novelty in mouchoir. Plain whits ones are monogrammed in color this fall, CITRON YELLOW A now evening gown of satin is of citron yellow with both yellow and green combining for pipings, girdle and facing of the irregular hem skirt, BATHROOM CARE If each person in a family has his OM . towel rack and toothbrush hold- er, much confusion is saved. The children's rack should be low enough for team to reach handily and they should be taught to spread their towels out properly after using, VACUUM CLEANER sIf you use your vacuum cleaner on your mattresses every week it will not only keep them clean, but fluffy. 1,1 MANY TIERS A black tulle evening gown achiev- es its uneven, longer back, by having two wide tiers across the front of its skirt and three graduated tiers a- cross the back, with each jutting down right in the centre,.

CREW NECKS I Autumn sweaters show wide use of the mew neck or rather close fitt- ing necklines. One pale green an- gora has a crocho'ced string run through and tied in a little bow in front. CORN ON THE EAR ! Put a little sugar into the boiling water you cook your ears of corn in. Just before they are done, add the salt. This gives a better flavor.
