The famous island of St. Helena, where Napoleon was exiled, is to -dal a place of dire poverty and the houses are dilapidated and untidy, writes Lawrence G. Green, in an article in the Boston Transcript. There is no ,trade, and the fu e _ holds little hope for the placehat was Napoleon's prison., Yet St. Helena is. a garb place ;for the lover of solituc who 1 a ri. nate income. 1P-1. plaua'vvhe�e efOrY• one is poor, living bZ j bsity pipet be Olean :z9Cus4i a. ,,4.1; :0,}?!ts„ e 4 fry, egi3s- ,$`such foodstuf@8. coate YU the Oa for ,.ale a.J,ow rioes.

You land precariously, with the roar of surf in your ears as the boat surges up to the little jetty. The main street lies before you. Bright flowers riot in gardens; deserted, crumbling houses. For fifteen shillings you may hire a carriage and travel by mountain road to Longwood, where .Napleon lived in exile. An unpretentious house it is, in good repair; and in - 'side they show you a remarkable death mask of the emperor. You see him as a man with extremely beauti- ful features, a being different from the grim, cynical soldier that most painters have made him. All that remains of the original tomb of Napoleon is a large white slab, without any inscription care- fully planted round with geraniums. Iron railings surround it. Behind the parish house in James- town is the most striking feature of the island --Jacob's Ladder. This amazing series of steps runs sheer up the cliff to the fort and barracks on Ladder Hill. There are 699 steps in all—a long, white gash on the side of the ravine. There is no garrison on St. Helena to -day, and few ships call. Hence the poverty. The women are clever makers of lace, and a little flax is grown. A cable , station provides a little work. But underfed people were crowding the island hospital, and now a soup kitchen has been established to relieve some of the distress. eat to ©btttill. 1eef, Mut't'oh, SLG LOST RACE. Beleved Marooned In Lofty Moun- tain In Interior Asia. Fragments of a lost race of white men, marooned on lofty mountain ranges in interior. Asia among a sea of Mongol folk, are among the ob- jectives of an expedition participated in by German,` Austrian and Russian scientists. The group goes into terri- tory hitherto never explored by Euro- peans, under the leadership of W. Rickmers of Bremen, who conducted a German expedition into Turkestan some years ago. The mountain regions to be inves- tigated are known as the Transalai and the Seltau. They are parts of the Himalaya uplift, lying to the north- west of the "roof of the world," in Russian Turkestan. Formerly they were lumped together under the name Pamir. It is believed that their inhabitants are remnants of Indo-Germanic races, descendants of the stock that populated India and Europe. The theory is that they sought refuge in these mountains when the Mongols overran Asia during the middle ages, and have remained there ever since. One of the members of the expedi- tion is a specialist inthe structure of languages; he will try to gain some clue to the ancestry of the mountain folk from their speech. Other members of the party will represent the sciences of geology, geography, meteorology and natural history. Mouse of Gold Door -Knobs. There is in Firth avenue, New York, a 12 -storey tenement building in which every door -knob is gold- plated. In one flat every hing, door- handle, and key is of gold. "The house with the gold door- knobs" is known all over the world. 1600,000 was paid for the building in 1913, a year after its completion. Its erection was bitterly opposed by 'many well-known families, who had spent fortunes in the erection of great houses in the vicinity of the struo- ture. Twenty -dye -roots Buttes and SC, - 000 a year rentals were unknown un- til thia dwelling was built. There bas never been a vacant apartment in the house from the day it was complet- ed, despite the fact that until recent- ly. it was the most expensive' resides- tial structure in the world.

It is the only specimen in the Acts of a' sermon addressed to a church. We have had three sermons of•St. Paul's. to the Jews at Antioch and to the Gentiles—both educated at Athens anduneducatedL at ystra. We shall have three speeches: to the Jews of Jerusalem, to Felix the Roman governor, to Agrippa and the world at large. Here, in the centre, stands Paul's charge to the church. Serving the Lord with all lowli- ness of mind. Paul loved to call him- self the bond -slave of Jesus Christ. In his work with his churches he did not exalt himself as an apostle, but like his Master took the form of a servant. All pastors and teachers should do the same. And with tears. A ,proud and cold man could shed. tears, but Paul's heart was so warns and his interest in men so deep that he could not refrain from weeping over the calcitrant and over the back- sliders, and joining his tears with the mourners, Christian workers should follow Paul's example here also. And the trials which befell rue by the plots of the Jews. Luke has not told us of these trials and plots, but only of the riot raised by the idolatrous Gentiles. Paul himself, in his brief list of the hardships of his missionary career (2 Cor. 11:23-27), shows, us how much of this sort Luke has o- mitted. How I shrank not from declaring unto you anything that was profitable. Most of Paul's audiences•at Ephesus were made •up of former idolaters, who would find it hard to break away at once and altogether from the ini- quities and abominations of heathen- ism, especially as many of their -d- atives and old-time friends were idol- ators still. I Therefore Paul needed of- ten to use exceedingly plain speech in bidding his hearers cease sinning, and he had many disagreeable tasks in connection with individuals, going to them and warning them away from the bestialities of the worship of 1)i- ana. A true preacher cannot always Y deal in smooth.and pleasant sayings. And teaching you publicly, and from. house to house. The public teaching was first in the synagogue and then in the lecture room of Tyrannns, and the house -teaching was in the home of Aquila and Priscilla and in other homes. No teacher or preacher can get permanent results without using. both methods. Testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward' God. John the Baptist, Jesus Himself, St. Peter and St. Paul -all began their preach- ing by calling on men to' repent of their sins. Jews and Greeks, men and women of all nations and alt sta- tions, learned and ignorant, humble and powerful—every hearer needed first of all to turn from his sins and seek' to live a pure and godly life. "Quit your meanness" was Sam Jone's most emphatic exhortation. It is the beginning of Christian life. And faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. Re- pentance is only half of a true preach- er's message, and the least important half; for it does no good to turn from sin finless we turn to.the Saviour. Only faith in Christ can enable us. to ttirn permanently from our sins. So one in his own strength can lift himself from the mire. PAUL THE PAITHPUL PASTOR, 'T'ake heed unto yourselves. Paul's words here are much like those in t Titn. 4:t6; they were probably ex- hortations that were often on his lips, like Christ's commands bidding His followers "Watch." Heedless i o e " ch." e aess lt living is characteristic of to -day, and all of us,young and old, need es- pecially to follow Paul's precept here. And to all the flock. Ever since Dav- id wrote the twenty-third Psalm God's people have been compared to sheep and God to a, wise and loving shep- herd, We are like sheep in our need of ,guidance, our proneness to stray away, and our weakness when attack- ed by the forces of evil, In which the Holy Spirit hath made you bishops.

To feed the church of the — Lord which He purchased with His own blood. "Pastor" is from a Latin word which meas "to ;Pasture," "to feed.'` A11 pastors and teachers have as their -nails duty to feed those placed in their charge; not to amuse them, not to flatter them; not to ter- rify them, but to give them ,what build up and strengthen their souls as food builds up and strengthens their bodies. For those souls are very precious, their price being; the infinite purchase of Christ's blood. I know that after my departing grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock. By his departing. Paul meant his death, and by the wolves he meant the enemies outside the church, especially the Jews who would do all they could to turn the Christians away from their Saviour and draw them back to Juda- ism. Much of Paul's warfare had been with such Jews. And from among your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. "How sadly this anti- cipation was realized may be seen from the warnings in the Pastoral Epistles (x Tim. t:io; 2 Tim. 1:15; 2:17, i8) against Phygelus and Her- mongenes, who had burned away all Asia from Paul; and against Hymen- aeus and Philetus and Alexander, who were infected with the errors of the Gnostics. Wherefore watch ye. Watch a- gainst the possibility of false teaching and the best way to watch is to fill men's minds full of sound teaching. Remembering that by the space of (three years I ceased not to admonish every one night and day with tears. Again we are made to feel Paul's warn heart, his tenderness and love. Paul was not afraid to weep and that openly; see 2 Cor. 2:4; Phil. 3:18. And now I commend you to God, and to the word of His grace. "That is, to the truths of His gospel which they had heard from Paul. This word is personified, a living power able to build them up and to secure for them the promised inheritance." Which is able to build you up. Paul often spoke and wrote about the gospel as building up, "edifying," those that would receive it. And to give you the inheritance among all them that are sanctified. Mrs. Helen B. Montgom- ery translates it: "He is able to build you up, and to give you your inheri- tance among those who are conse- crated." I coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel. "Raiment is here men- tioned along with gold and silver, be- cause among the Orientals it was a chief part of their wealth. Ye yourselves know that these hands ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. 'These hands" was accompanied by a gesture, Paul reaching out his hands to, the elders. He was an animated speaker. Luke tells us that Pau] labored at his tent -making in Corinth (Acts 18:3;) but says nothing about Paul's working in Ephesus. Patil him- self, however, writing from Ephesus to the Corinthians (i Cor. 4.11, 12), mentions this occupation, and so the Acts and the Epistles corroborate each other. In all things I gave you an example. Should not all Christians live so care- fully that their lives could be taken as models by the young men? That so laboring ye ought to help the weak. Primarily, those too weak in body to support themselves; but the elders would be expected also to help those morally weak, and strengthen them. And to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said. The following words are not to be found in the Gospels, but came down to Pattl from some one who had heard them. This is a priceless addition to the words of Christ. It is more blessed to give than to receive. More blessed to give money than to receive it; more blessed to give spir- itual aid pir-itttal'aid than even to receive it. ,And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down and prayed with thenen all, In Paul's day standing in prayer was customary, but kneeling was kr occasions of deep solemnity, sock as thisi Tghest Market Prices raid you for your POULTRY, EGGS AND CREAM rr 1 Until further notice our plant will close at six Fig. o'clock Saturday evenings, Wellington Produce Co., Ltd.

The verb translated"kissed" is a com- pound very signifying "kissed him over and over." Orientals are far more demonstrative than are we cold- blooded Occidentals, Sorrowing most of all for the word which he had spoken, that they .should behold his face no more. "Behold" signifies earnest, prolonged, and reverent gazing, striving to fix the beloved features in the memory. And they brought him on; his way unto the ship.

This may mean "in addition to such trials exterior to our church life I have just named," which is the most naturalmeaning; or it may mean "in addition to the perils without e- numeration, those not named in the preceding verse." There is that which passeth upon me daily,-anitiety for all the clnurc'hes. Not all the churches that had been established,: including those founded by 13arnabas, Peter, John, and the other apostles, bat the churches which Paul had founded and for which he would feel responsible Every Christian teacher and leaden is greatly troubled by the weakness, folly, inconsistency, sluggishness, cow- ardree and unfaithfulness of his fol- lowers. What could not Paul have done with even a single church made up entirely of Pauls!
