PAUL GOES TO ROME
Sunday, Dec. 0—Acts 27:1 to 2S:31;
Romans 1;8-15; Philippians 1:12.14
For a long while Paul had been
longing to go to Rome, Back in
Corinth, at least two years earlier
than last week's lesson, Paul wrote
to the Christians at Rome of lois de-
sire to visit them. The lesson sel-
ections include that pert of leis Let-
ter to the Romans in which he tells
them how unceasingly he prayed
for them, "making request, if by
any aneans now at length I might
have a prosperous journey by the
will of God to come unto you ,"
He counted himself under obligation
to bring them some spiritual bless- I
ings.
His longing desire was granted,
but chow differently from the way
he had expected! Two or three
years later he reached Route, after.
one of the most terrific experiences
of ocean storm and shipwreck that
any man has ever lived through.
And he reached Rome a prisoner,
under military guard; yet even after
this, while in his Rosman prison, he
could write to the Philippian Chris-
tians: "But I would yo should
understand, brethren, that the things
which happened unto me have fallen
out rattier unto the furtherance of
the gospel; so that my bonds in
Christ are manifest in all the palace,
and in all other places; and many
of the brethren in the Lord,waxing
confident by any bonds, are much
more bold to speak the word without
fear."
Paul really p*.ecticed what he
preached. His joy and thanksgiving
were not dependent upon circums-
tances,or upon his own bodily con-
; dition. He rejoiced always he gave
thanks in everything. That is why
God could use him so marvelously.
His physician friend Luke, was
with Paul .in that portions voyage
to Rome! the pronoun "we" shows
this. "When it was determined that
we should sail into Italy. they de-
livered Paul and certain other pris-
oners unto a named Julius, a centur-
ion of Augustua's band." The rest
of the 'long twenty-seventh chapter
is taken up with a detailed account

I
made in different stages and dif-
ferent ships, the first one taking•
them from Casearea along the coast
of Syria, then north of the Island of
Cyprus to Myra, on the coast of
what we today call Asia £.liner•.
Changing ships there, they started
on their long voyage to home,
against Paul's better judgment. Even
so, the ship's muster was intending to
make Phen!ce and winter there,
though Paul warned him not to try
it.
Paul was right; the ship was caught
inn storm, and for two weeks they
were driven helplessly out of their
course, not knowing whether every
day might be their last. The long
and detaied account of the storm
and their experiences is well worth
studying in class. Paul alone knew
that every life on board was to be
spared, for an angel of God came
to him by night and told him so.
The desperate and well -night hopeless
men were ready to look to Paul
then, remembering that they would
have done better to listen to his
advice early in the' voyage, and
seeing no way of escape unless h
could tell him of it. Truly spiritu
men are always practcial, and Pau
gave the practical advice that, afte
their longfast, they take somethin
to eat and strengthen themsely
for what lay ahead. With a pray'givig
of thanksgiving he set them th
example of breaking bread and eat
ing it, and they were encouraged t
do the same.

word.
They were on the Island of lefa1•ta
(Melita) now, and as the natives
gathered and cared for their needs,
a snake fastened oh Paul's hands.
God worked another miracle as Paul
shook the reptile off and was un-
harmed. Then the apostle rayed
for the healing of the father of the
chief MOM of the island, named Pub-
lus; the miracle was wrought, and
others who were diseased caste and
were healed. It was a journey of
triumph in spite of, anis because of,
all the adverse circumstances, and
the Gospel had good advertising.
' .After three months' waiting an-
other ship brought then to Italy,
and Paul finally reached his longed -
for goal, the Capital of the Roman
Empire.
Guarded by a Roman soldier, Paul
received a deputation of leading Jews,
' who questioned him, and with whom
he talked freely about his own case,
and his Gospel of Good News. Out
of their own Scriptures, the law of
Moses and the prophets, he preached
Christ to them; "and some believed
' the things which were spoken, and
I some belived not."

of human history followed as "Paul
' dwelt two whole years in his own
hired house, and received all that
came in unto stint, preaching the
Kingdom of God, and teaching those
things which concern the Lord Jesus
Christ, with all confidence, no man
forbidding him." John Bunyan in
Beckford Jail wrote an uninspired
book that, next to the Bible, has had
a ministry through the centuries
since. Paul, the great apostle,
prisoner of Remo and prisoner of
the Lord Jesus Christ, had a
greater ministry. The Jews officially
turned away from him, as they had
turned away from their true Messiah
and Saviour. But individuals, both

Michigan Has Freed School Children
From It, Says Hygeia.
I Goitre has been one of the most
widely discussed ills of mankind dur-
ing the past decade, declares Hygeia,
the health magazine published by the
American Medical Association, and
adds this concerning its treatment.
"Results of surveys in various
communities where it is widely pre-
valent attracted consideration at-
tention at the 1928 session of the
American Medical Association of
Minneapolis.
"Experience has shown that, since
goitre is due to a deficiency of
iodine in the system, the disease
can be prevented by giving to grow-
ing children sufficient iodine to
make tip the laclt, Tho state of
Michigan has practically eliminated
the occurrence of simple goitre
among school children by the rise
of iodized salt.
"When a survey of Midland county
was made in January, 1924, 41.6 per
cent. of school children had goitre.
A recent survey in the city of Mid -
hied alone showed that 01 per cent.
of the homes had used iodized salt
continuously and that only 8 per
cont. of the children had goitre.

goitre tending to. show the`efficieney

`DO NOT FOLLOW BEES' EXAMPLE
Although the honey -bee is a model
of industry during
the summer time,
1 her example during the winter
r months is on that should not be fol-
lowed by the beekeepers himself, 110
natter how great the inclination is
to do so.
After being fed snugly packed
away in winter quarters, the bees
have no preparations to make for
the following season; such, however,
is not the case with the beekeeper.
The active season of spring and
summer usually opens with a rush,
and the wise beekeeper is ready to
meet it with everything prepared to
satisfy the needs of the bees when
they resume their activities in the
spring. There is much that the
beekeer can do during the winter
time to
relieve the pressure ofwork
and anxiety of the summer. Nothing
is more disheartening, when bees
are swarming, and nectar coming
in rapidly, than to find a shortage
of equipment to take care of the
situation. Such a condition is too
1
cents. One day's delay may cause
the loss of a ten pound pail of
honey for each and every colony in
the apiary, and, furthermore, it may
take at least a week to secure and
prepare the supplies that could have
been obtained and prepared during
the winter. Beekeepers don't go
dormant for the winter, just because
the bee does, check up your equip-
ment. What you already have on
hand, clean and repair where neces-
sary, and store it ready for quick
handling next season. Remember
that draft comb, your most valua-
ble asset, can be guickly destroyed
by moth and mice. Protect the
comb from the ravages of these
rests. Estimate your requirements
for a maximum crop ' in 1929, and
order enough new supplies to meet
the estimate. And, furthermore
order them early so they may be
assembled and made ready for use
before the bees require your atten-
tion in the spring.

of the Pacific Coast City as viewed from the roof garden of the Rotel.
1,te idea of a Music Festival is
not new to Vancouver, but the
r'estiral devoted entirely to sea
music, w•liich is being organized
to take place In this city next
January, is the first of its kind,
and as such is attracting wide-
spry ,1 attention. There is a Vast

Song of Miriam, witioh tradition
Says was sou to the.Children of
Israel, on the hank of the Red
Sea. Yet somehow no one till
now had thought of devoting a
whole series of concerts to this
subject, and it is a tribute to the
growing importance of Vancouver
as a world port that the Canadian
Pacific Railway, which is organ-
ising this Felsival, should have
clra8ert lo loc t,a It 11000.
It is less than two years ago
since the Canadian Pacific experi-
mented with its first Music Fes-
tival, which was held et Quebec
and dealt with the folksong pre-
served by the French-Canadians
whose forefathers bt'ought these
old songs with {hem to this conn.
try three hundred years ago. That
experiment met with such favor
that it was repeated on a still
more ambitious sealo last Spring.
Both these Festivals drew many
visitors to Quebec, from other
part. t if Canada and from the
Vnitou States,- the Governor -Gees

down to attend the celebration by
special train. They have had the
effect of creating a better under-
standing of the French-Canadian
people, and the lovely old melodies
which had bitherto been known
mostly in the backwoods of Que-
bec, are now being sung all over
Canada. The leading musielans
of this cotmtry are realizing that
in those melodies Canada has a
priceless heritage.
Following on the Quebec experi-
ment, a Scottish Musical Festival
was staged at Banff, in oonnection
with the }flatland Gathering:

national pride of the Scots that
