Yes, very likely they would." Tn fact, I'm pretty sure they would. 'Big chickens some way or other don't like smaller chickens to come and live with them. They don't mind so much sometimes it they grew right up with them, but just to go and put them into their pen' suddenly and leave them there would make the hens real cross. They would not let the little fellows have any- thing to eat or go to get a drink of If the chicks would try they would get a hard peck that hurt like everything. In fact, the only thing for them to do would be to go and -huddle up in a cor- ner and not move, so the hens would forget they were there. Now why do hens act like that? Well, I don't know. I guess ft is just chickens' ways. Oh, there are such a lot of things we don't know about, don't you think so? But we do know a few things, don't we?

In the list of five | leaders # the church, the name of Barnabas is placed first, and that of | Saul last, v. 1. They had not yet discovered" Saul. Or was it that their memory of the man-he-was ob- scured the man-he-had-become? - But he will-not remain in the back- ground, Of the other three we know little or mothing They are forgotten, Yet the unheralded work they did in Antioch sent Christianity out into the Gentile world. ~ Where 'would the church be without the devotion and sacrifice of the "unknown disciples"? (b) God's Separated men. "As th ministered to the Lord, and faste the Holy Ghost said, "Separate me Barnabas and Saul," v. 3. The con- viction was growing upon them that these two.men were the ones speciall; gifted for the work ihey had in mind, Does the Holy Spirit speak like that today? Assuredly. But in our med- ern way of putting it, we speak, not of the One who inspired the 'deed, but of his agents, a minister perhaps or a mother, or a church coirt. Who gave them the impulse? Saul and Barna- bas responded when the call came. Farnabas had the encouragement of past successes, 9: 27; 11: 24f, Saul still carried the dream that flashed upon hig in Jerusalem--*"I will send thee far hence vnto che Gentiles." God and Barnabas and Saul had been getting ready for this day. II. THE FIRST MISSION FIELD, Acts 13: (a) Cyprus. The work to which Barnabas and Saul were called was not merely missionary work, it was a mission to Gentiles. That was the forward step. The baptism of Cor- nelius was ratified, it is true, but he was considered a "special case!" The baptism of the Ethiovian eunuch was quite "unofficial." Gentiles had been received "into 'the "church, but they came in through the door of the syna- gogue and observed Jewish law. Now, however, the church turned directly to the. Gentiles and established churches based, not on Jewish privi« lege, but on God's universal love, Cyprus was the first port of call. It was familiar. ground to Barnabas, since his home was there. Apart from cara Jewg in Salamis and Paphos, the population of the island was pa- gan, Thei. stay in Salamis was un- eventful. Their method was to preach in the synagogues wherever possible, bringing their message "to the Jew first,""and then to'the Gentiles. When the Jews 'refused to respond the: terned to the Gentiles, ignoring their own race. 'From Salamis they work- ed their way westward toward Pa- phos, the capital of Cyprus. (b). Christianity at Court. Arriving in Paphos, the missionaries were sum- moned before the Roman pro-consul, Sergius Paplus, Attached to his household*was a sorcerer, v. 6. Seeing in the clear arguments of the strang- ers a danger to his own standing, Elymas, as he was called, began to dispute. 'Blind to the truth himself, he tried fo prevent his master from .seeing it. It was a critical moment for Christianity on this its first ap- pearance before Roman aristocracy. Saul's trained mind instantly grasp- ed the situation. He stepped for- ward, "ses his eyes on Elymas (v. 9) --one thinks of Nanoleon's "Olym- pian anger" and the "unbearable flash" of his eye--stabbed him with that terrorinspiring rebuke, and the overwhelmed sorcerer was led, blind- ed, from the room. Sergius, amazed at the "doctrine of the Lord," heliav- ed, that is, believed that Saul was a true prophet. We do not know that he became a Christian, (¢) Panl Comes Forward. When the missionaries set out they were "Bar- nabag and Saul" When they left Paphos they were "Patil and his com- pany."

They have "hush hush" planes whose. exact speed capab#lities are care- fully guarded secrets. i The race will take place on Sept. 112 and Italy and France are again expected to be Britain's opponents.

Engines Concealed The second of twe, new, British seaplanes reached Calshot recently. The engines of both planes are con- cealed for the most part, with few gadgets visible, and to the lay ob- server they convey little, exeept per- haps a slight impression of great power in reserve. They seem rath- er like rtrange, lean Sharks which suddenly dart from the wa'er and cross the horizon in a roar of pow- er and a blaze of speed. The course, again over the waters of -Spithead and. the Solent, covers 217 statute miles. Conditions intro- duced for the first time this year require all aircraft to carry out cer- tain preliminary trials on the day of the race before the actual contest, And these preliminaries have neces- | sitated some changes in design. To cover both preliminary trials and the actual speed contest the @ma- chines have to carry a greater weight of petrol, which -of course tends to increase weight in other directions. The new canditions are roughly estimated to amount to an extra lap of the race. It is doubtful whether the great increase in speed marking the suc- cessive races so far will be main- tained this year, in view of the new requirement. But the R. A. F. high speed flight will be fully pre- pared and ready to try for hitherto unheard of rates of speed. "Sir, 1 should like to work only half time during the summer."
