REVIEW; PAUL THE WORLD
CHRISTIAN,
December 80, 1928.

ditional topic's, iair different grades
us follows: "The Soviet of Nun;
Greatnese," and "The Life and
Achievements of Paul," Let un
look for light on all three topics as
we run through the lessone.
The Golden Text shows why Paul
was necessarily a "world Christian!'
Christ was his life, Christ is interest.
ed in the whole world, loves the
whole world, died to save the world.
}low can any one whose life is
elttist be anything but a world
Christian must be interested in all
those whom Christ died to save.
"Go ye into all the world, And
preach the gospel to every creat-
ure." (Mark 16:15) was His last
commieelon. -Paul took the Lord nt
His word and obeyed. Any Christ-
ian who is not a world Christian is
a disobedient 'Christian.
Let us remember, also, that the
Golden Text describes not only Paul
but every real Christian; every one
who is born again by faith in Christ.
The only true life that any one can
have is Chriet. "He that halal the
Son hath life; and he that hath
not the Son of God aath not life"
(1 John 5:12). So the secret of
Paul's greatness, was Christ, and
only Christ. The secret of his life
achievements was Christ.
1. Paul in Ephesus. (Acts
Ephesians 4:1-15.) Paul preach-
ing turned people away from false
gods and injured an anti-Christian
business. Do our lives ancl our words
turn people away from the wrong
and to the right?
2. Spirtual Gifts, (1 Corinthians
12 to 14.) -Paul always put first
things first, and above even miracles
and other greaat gifts he put love.
For God is greater than any of His
gifts, and God is love. No matter
what our talents may be, do people
think more of our love than any-
thing else we have? Love was a
secret of Paul's greatness.
3. Christian Stewardship. (2 Cor-
inthians 8:1 to 9.15). Paul did not
let people think of giving as a duty
but as a' privilege. He showed that
liberal giving does not depend on
what we have, but on the greatest
givers that ever lived.
4. Paul's Last Journey to Jerus-
alem. (Acts 20:1 to 21.17; 2 Cor.
11:28). In utter disregard of his (
own safety Paul pressed on to the t
city that was, for him, the most n
dangerous place in the world. He
was great because he was absolute, a
ly self -forgetful.

prayer life was a secret of his
greatness, and his greatest achieve-
ments were by prayer.
9. Paul Before His Judges, (Acts
24:1 to 26:32,) Because Paul's real
judge was His Saviour and Lord, he
had nothing to fear when he faced
earthly judges. His experiences
before Governors and King striking-
ly fulfilled the Lord's promise to
His disciples when He said they
would be "brought before kings and
oilers for My name's sake." the
told them not to try to think be-
fore -hand what they should sity,
"For I will give yott a mouth and
wisdom, which all your adversaries
shall not be able to gainsay mar
resiet." (Luke 21:12-15.)
10.Paul Goes to Rolm, (Acts
27-1 to 28-31; Romans 1:8-15;
Philippians 1: 1214.) The most
deeply spiritual man on board that
storm -wracked and doomed ship,
lost in the Mediterranean, was also
the most thoroughly practical man.
If his advice early in the voyage
had been taken, the wreck might
have been avioded. His later advice,
relayed by him from Heaven, savell
every life on board when the ship
went down. The Holy Spirit ie
always practical, and He, was a
secret of Paul's greatness and
achievement.
11. Paul and His Friends, (Acts
'20:36-38; Romans 16:1-4; Philippia-
ns 2:25-30; Philemon.) Few, if any
other men in Paul's generation, had
such friends. When the Friend ciE
sinners is a man's literal life, that
man will make many friends. And
he himself will be a friend to others
at all times. Friendship was a
secret of Paul's greatness.
12. Paul's Last Message.
Timothy 4:1-18.) Paul believed in
he Second Coming of Christ. Ho
brought it prominently and repeat-
edly into his inspired Epistles. He
lamed it as the great motive in the
lhristian life, in the last chapter of
he last Letter he wrote. But he
ew he was not to live until the
Lord's return, for he told young
'imothy, "the time of my departure
s at hand." Three final secrets of
Paul's greatness and achievements
re given in this chapter: fighting
he Christian warfare; holding to
ds commissioned course until it was
arried through; keeping the faith
o the end. Is there any reason
why these three secrets of Paul'e
uceess sould not characterize our
we lives?
5. World's Temperance Sunday.
(Romans 13:1-14). Temperance a
means self-control. This was another
secret of Paul's greatness. The
normal Christian life is self -con- e
trolled by Christ's control of self,
Drunkeness and other sins are 110 -
possible while Christ controls the $
life,
6. Peace and Good -Will Among
Men. (Romans 12:1-21.). Here is
God's call to present our bodies a b
living sacrifice to Hhn, Paul had n
made this act a secret of his life
and achievements. Every life given s

This has been the biggest year
in rural hydro developpment since
the passing for provincial contribu-

there were 211 miles constructed,
and the total increased each year,
reaching 875 in 1927. The total
rural mileage is now 4,190, and it
is estimated that 55 per cent. of the
31,000 consumers are farmers.
Originally the aid extended by
the province was 50 per cent. of

The disease is caused by a hung-

enter the floral parts of the plant
when these are open at blossom
time, and the result is the develop-
ment of the ergot bodies instead of
the kernels of grain. These black -

which they grow, mature. Some
of these fall to the ground, while
others find their way into the
threshed grain, and in ths way the
fungous is returned to .the sail. In
the spring, each of the ergot bodies

• send out several stalks which, in
turn, bear many tiny, light spores.
These are shot out of the spore -
bearing cavity, and carried apwarde
by air currents and insects, to the
floral parts of susceptible. plants.
Under moist conditions, these swine
send out tiny threads which grew
into and fill the place where the
new grain would have developed.
At this stage, the fungous exudes a
large amount of sweet, sticky
honey -dew, and with it thousands
of spores, which spread the fungous.
Insects, attracted by this honey.

RaM and wind also help to spread
these spores. Warm showers fol.
lowed by sunny periods produce
favorable conditions foe the spread
of the disease. After some days
the honey -dew stage comes to an
end, and the familiar hard, black
ergot bodies form.
CONTROL
Controlling the disease becomes
a -matter of eliminating the ergot
from the seed and from the soil.
Complete separation from the seed
is possible by immersing the grain
in a solution of common salt, made
up by dissblving forty pounds of
salt in twenty-five gallons of water.
On stirring the grain, the ergot
bodies comes to the surface, where
they are skimmed off and tnen
destroyed. The grain is then wash-
ed at once, and dried quickly, to
prevent inaary to germination. A
succession of crops susceptible to
ergot should be avoided as far as
Possible. It is very important to
Avoid sowing either rye or durum
wheat after ergot infested crops of
these grains, since these two crops
suffer most severely from the ergot.

about the borders of fields, are also
attacked by the ergot fungus.
Drill seeding is much preferable

ENORMOUS LOSSES FROM
WHEAT RUST
Stein rust is regarded today as
the most serious problem in wheat
production in Manitoba and Saskatc-
hewan. It is believed to have
caused an average annual loss dur-
ing the past twenty-five years of at
least 525,000,000. in the one seagon
ef 1916 the estimated loss to the
wheat crop of the Prairie Provinces
due to rust is believed to have been 1

KAISER CHANGED
MIND IN FACE OF DEATH
Professed It Would be Glorious
Thing, to Die in Battle Leading
High Seas Flett, But When
Time Came He Had Another
Engagement,
Amsterdam, Holland, Dec. 3, --
'The Telegraaf, an old established
organ in Amsterdam, published a
story in connection with the death
of Admiral Scheer of Germanys in
which it is stated that the Kaiser
declined to go to sea and fight and
die in a last desperate sany of the
German fleet n 1918.
The newspaper says that in Oc-
tober, 1918, the German navy re-
ceived orders to attack the British
fleet. Admiral Scheer. who had
succeeded Admiral von Holtzen-
dorff as chief of the German Naval
Staff, agreed, but only on condition
that the Kaiser accompany him on
the Flagship and assume nominal-
ly supreme command. In this de -
mend, the peeler says, Scheer had
not only the support of practically '
all naval officers, but also that of
Prince Max Von Baden, General
Ludendroff and Admiral Tirpitz.
The latter felt that the Kaiser's
presence with the fleet would rally
all sections of the population
around the Throne.
Admiral Scheer thereupon pro-
ceoliel to arrange with the Kaiser
detail:: of the battle, The Kaiser
fell in with the fier•t's demand, de-
claring that lo' could not conceive
of a more noble death than that
. of dying at the head of the fleet
in a lust glorious attempt to defend
freedom and honor. After this in-
terview, the Admiral immediately
left for Kiel to make everything
ready, and it was arranged that the
that the fleet should sail, but Ad-
mission on a Thursday.
On the preceding Monday, how-
, ever, a message was received from
Williams stating that he would not
be able to accompany the fleet af-
ter all. The exact contents of this
message were never known as Ad-
, iniral Scheer tore it in email pieces
and burned in order, as he declar-
ed, to prevent the Kaiser's "con-
fession of cowardice" from become
ing known,
The Kaiser inskind meanwhile
that the fleet sshould sail, but Ad-
miral Scheer refused to entertain
the idea. Instead he proceeded to
occupy the City of Kiel, and with
this outward demonstration the
navy's supreme command, the
stand against the Kaiser began. As
a matter of fact, the Telegraaf says,
the revolt of the navy came within
the ensuing few days.

Crops were never harvested more
econommically in the West than in
1928, and never was the operation
more costly in the East. Weather
made the difference.
The Bureau of Municipal Re-
search points out that 864 people
were killed in automobile accidents
in Canada in 1927-tevice as many
as perished in the Battle of Queen-
ston. Heights. In Canada and the
United State e together, motor car
accidents accounted for as many
deaths in 1923-1927 as both count-
ries suffered in battle during the
Great War.

nipeg and Calgary is reported to

Those who are doubtful of the bene-

can be made, wheat will it mean

One of 'Canada's chief exports to
the -United States, and yet one which
is often overlooked, is that of ever-
green trees for use at Christmas. Mr
Frederick Hudd, Canadian trade
commissioner in New York, estima-
tes that Canada sends between 3,-
1)00,000 and 4,000,000 trees to the
United States each year, nearly 50
percent of , the 10,000,000 used
there. This year, exports are likely
to be higher, as New England trees
are under an embargo, because of
the presence of the gypsy moth.
Canada should be glad of such a
source of external trade, but the
business is one which emphasizes
strongly the need lor an efficient an&
thorough system of constant refore-
station.

Hie Insurance in Canada offers a
good example of its increasing
wealth. Between 1920 and 1926, •
the amount of life insurance in
force in Canticla rose from $2,580,-
000,000 to 54,610,000,000, or 75
percent, including only ordinary

1919 and the end of 1926 group
insurance in form vose from 511.,-
510,000 to more ,than 52000,000,-

record every 10 years since 1875.
and trebled in decade ending in
1925. More insurance is written itt

to 1900. 1927 life insurance sales,
