hooved the Christ to suffer. The
Jews expected a Messiah who would
reign as a glorious monarch, over-
coming all the enemies of the Jews
and extending their dominion over
all nations. Christ's own prediction
of His corning death 'on the cross
aroused the horror and dissent even
of the disciples closest to Him, and
all through the early days of the
church the cross was a "stumbling
block," And to rise again from the
dead. Without the resurrection, in-

be a proclamation merely of death
and despair It was Easter that trans-
formed the crucifixion into glorious
victory, And that this Jesus, whom,
said he, I proclaim unto you is the
Christ. The sum and substance of
Paul's preaching was that the man
Jesus was the divirie Messiah, the
Christ, the Anointed. That fact sums
up Christianity to this day.
And some of them were persuaded,
and consorted with Paul and Silas.

" Now when they had passed'
through Amphilolis and Apollonia.
'These two cities were southwest of
Philippi. The missionaries 'did not
tarry in these towns, perhaps because
they found no synagogue there as a
basis of operations. They came to
Thessalonica. The mention of this
fact clearly, implies that the reason
for not slopping at Amphipolis and
Apollonia was there were no syna-
gogues there. •
And, Paul, as the custom was, went
in unto them. Doubtless the visitors
.according to Jewish custom, would be

And of the devout Greeks a great

after the devout Greeks, probably they
also were Jewish proselytes.
But the Jews, being moved with
jealousy. They had been leaders in
the synagogue, and now saw strang-
ers coming into their places of wor-
ship. Took unto them certain vile
fellows in the rabble. "The rabble"
implies in the Greek loungers around
the market -place, loafers who had no
regular business and were ready for
any mischief. And gathering a crowd
set the city in an uproar. It is easy
to raise a mob in an Eastern city,
and a mob is often all the more ex-
cited and violent the less it knows
about the origin and purpose of the
turmoil. And assaulting the house of
Jason. Evidently the apostles were
lodging at Jason's house, but were
not there at the time of the assault.

Himself had final weight with Pilate
in procuring his condemnation of the
Saviour, Saying that there is an-
other king, one Jesus. Arbitrary
rulers are very sensitive, and even the
hint of rebellion must be instantly
crashed. If Paul had made any re-
ference to 'the,kingdom of heaven"
and to Christ's, teachings in regard to
it, that would be enough to give color
to this charge,
And they , troubled the multitude
and the rulers of the city, when they
heard these things. Both the com-
mon people and their rulers would
be disturbed greatly by any' charge
of treason' and sedition, for though
Thessalonica was a free city it was
subject to the emperor, and knew
well how swift and. heavy would be
the punishment from Rome at any
hint of disloyalty.
And when they had taken security
from Jason . and the i•est, they let
them go. This seems an anticlimax,
but probably the rulers, on investi-
gation, failed, to find any real basis
for the Jews' charge and so simply
bound Jason and the other Chris-
tians over to keep the peace.
PAUL IN 13ERCEA.
And the brethren immediately sent
away Paul and Silas by night into
Bercea. Who when they were come
thither went into the synagogue of
the Jews. Paul followed his usual
custom.' of beginning his work with
the Jews and in the synagogue, .in
spite of, the treatment he had receiv-
ed from the Jews of Asia Minor, or
Philippi, and of Thessalonica.
Now these were more noble than
those in' Thessalonica. The Jews,
not the Christians; for the Christian
church 'of Thessalonica was one of
the' noblest of all established by Paul,
In that they received the word with
all readiness, of mind. "The word"
was the word Of God, the divine tea-
chings of Jesus Christ set forth by
the apostles. Examining the Scrip-
tures daily, whether 'these things
were sq. The Berceans did not take
for granted even the teachings of so
great a man as Paul, but tested them
for themselves, doing their own think-
ing as Paul would have them do it.
Many of them therefore believed;
also of the Greek women of honor-
able estate, and of men, not a few.
They believed "therefore," as a re-
sult of their Bible study, the sure
result when that study is honestly

never mentioned, except in company
with their husbands.
Once in a while, however, the wife
of a "big man" will try to throw off
the shadow of 'her husband's bril-

Mrs. Arnold Bennett, wife Qf the not-

When a friend asked the reason for
the lurid headpiece she replied:
"I wore it so that every one in the
room should say: 'Who on earth is
that woman in the hat?' And then
they would be told. 'That is Mrs.

Shaw's personality is completely, en-

persons who have met the kindly

perceive that she has a personality

Mrs. Thomas Hardy, widow of the

Mrs. Rudyard Kipling is seldom
seen in public, particularly since her
husband has taken in recent years to

Sir Harry's Retort to the Manager of

An incident in the early part of
Sir Harry Lauder's career has recent-
ly been brought to light.
It was at the Tivoli Theatre ie
London and Lauder, then unknown
to fame, was billed as an "extra

however, and at the end the audience
called for a speech, whereupon the
little Scot, in deflan3e of the unwrit-

INNOVATION ATTAINS
QUICK POPTJLARITY
Tried as an experiment in providing
extra comfort for night travellers, 'the
single -room sleeping cars on Canad-
ian National trains between Toronto
and Montreal quickly reached tre-
mendous popularity.
So completely has this new travel-
ling convenience met a long -felt want
of the travelling public, that these
cars now operate on both the ten and
eleven o'clock trains to Montreal.
Each room in the single -room sleep-
ing cars is tastefully decorated. It
provides every toilet requisite, has

space for baggage on the racks and
Manufacturing Diatomite.
On the Island of Skye, in a quiet
spot on the east aide of Trotternish
peninsula, the manufacture of dia-
tomite is carried on. Diatomite is a
clayey substance found at the bottom
of certain fresh -water lochs. After
it has been dried and pulverized, it
is used in making dynamite, cover-
ing boilers, andinumerous other pur-
poses, including the basis of a tooth-
powder, If one 'were to inspect the
substance under the microscope, one Offi
would see that it was formed of mil-
lions ofsilicious skeletons of certain
minute algae. A miniature railway
runs from the diatomite beds to the
shore, where a drying and grinding
factory has been erected. The in-
dustry gives regular employment to
a number of men and girls in the dis-
trict, and was begun .bout nineteen
years ago.

To the sound basic design which has made

To the inherent style and beauty of Fisher bodies
