how old is a g puxal sharfca a problem the question bow old is ann refers to an old 4n axiomatical prob lem which had a wide vogue at the beginning of the twentieth century on october 12 4003 the new york press in its column on the tip of the tongue printed the following letter submitted by a correspondent who signed himself john mahon and gaye his residence as brooklyn is twentyfour years oldt she is twice as old as ann was when she was as old as ann is now how old is ann now a says the answer is sixteen b says twelve which is correct mark sullivan in our times says that this letter started people sharpening pencils over the entire country and for half jt dozen years remained a subject of dispute and means of pastime the imperfect manner in which the problem was stated bottf the answers given were incorrect not only confused those attempting to solve it but also con tributed to the fascination of the task several persons it was re ported went insane trying to find out how old ann was all sorts of ann problems some of them en tirely new and some of them merely modifications of the original were published for the amusement of the public from what source the writer of the letter printed in the new york press obtained the original prob lem is not known that it ante dates 1903 in one form or another is probable some people have at tributed the original ann problem to sam loyd an inventor of puz zles and braintwisters cut there is no evidence to support the claim the problem as stated in the paper presents no particular mathemati cal difficulties and is readily solved by algebra the answer is that ann is eighteen years of age says a writ er in thetndianapohs news martha or mary i cannot choose i should have lltced so much to sit at jesus feet to feel the touch of his

in cooperation with the provincial de partments of education was suggest ed to the roweu commission at ot tawa recently by the canadian teachers federation committee the federation represents 30 000 teachers throughout the dominion the committee was led by j w hose- worthy toronto president of the on tario secondary teachers federation mnorris and l s titus were sir edmund androa waa able colonial governor sir edmund andros was born on the island of guernsey in the chan nel inlands on december 6 1637 and died in london in february 1714 his family belonged to the feudal aristeercy of that island as a frieritof the duke of york he came to new york as governor in 1674 remaining there until 1681 five years later says a writer in the detsdit news he returned to the colonies to carry out james iis idea of consolidating the new eng land colonies into one royal prov- ce when they heard of the landing of william of orange in england in 1689 the people of boston rose and seized the royal officers including andros himself he was returned to england for trial but acquitted and in 1692 was appointed governor of virginia where for five years he had considerable success from 1704 to 1706 he was lieutenant goernor guernsey hejjjtoeary of american biography states that though not popular with advocates f democratic government never theless he was one of the ablest english colonial governors of the seventeenth century he was es sentially a soldier and where sol dierlyqualities were needed his rule was excellent but he lacked under standing of business affairs and of puritan psychology that england valued his services is shown by his long years in office and his appoint ment to difficult posts the committee referred to the ex perimentation which is being under taken in the training and guidance of unemployed youth by means or the mflaondobar vote of the current year vocational guidance for the young people concerned is an integral part of this programme the committer re marked and such guidance could be extended through the medium of the dominion employmit service to the students of the schools the unifica tion of the provincial employment services as suggested by premier king in bis recent letter to provincial pre miers would greatly facilitate such ar arrangement reference was made to the organi zation of the unemployment ex change system in oreat britain near ly thltry years ago which includes boys and guis within its scope which advises these young peopls re garding their careers a system something like this was urged canada nell i hear

on sabbath indoors as well as outdoors in a home as well as in a temple or synagogue in the evening as well as by day christ regarded teaching as his chief work healing was occasional and secondary peter and his wife helped jesus by placing their home at his disposal even though the roof had to be repaired next day peters home was the more sacred to him because jesus made it his stop pingplace while in capernaum and used it as a place for teaching and healing how often the paralytic would return to see the roof through which he had been let down and to tell of the marvellous change that had come into his life through the forgiveness of shms and the cure of his ailment nineteen centuries afterwards christian people sing a hymn telling of what happened that memorable evening at peters home by hospitality friendships meetings and family love we may use our homes for christ entertaining a sunday school class may endanger the furniture but save the pupils conversions can happen in homes as well as in churches an unconventional interruption 3 4 jesus liked unconventional people zacchaeus climbi a tree mary breaking the alabaster box peter jumping into the lake and these four friends tearing up the roof and letting their sick friend down at tne feet of jesus as he taught in the crowded room there was no word of rebuke either from jesus the speaker of the evening or from peter the owner of the house christ was much more concerned about forgive ness than form about cures than conventionalities he always wel comed interruptions the people wno wanted to see him were the oeople he wanted to see later he rebuced his disciples tor trjtng to send tn children awa and here he turned an impromptu situation into a spiritual opportunity for him the point oi tension was the plate or

self for the sake of others by tho same token we cannot blame provi dence if we break physical laws driving on wet pavements with smooth tires or in heavy traffic with faulty brakes as a rule we are much more sensluve to physical pain than to spiritual ill health christ was able to heal both body and soul moral miracles are even more amaz in than muscular m when christ lives in our hearts by faith our bodies benefit through purity gladness and inner peace the toot meaning of salvation is health christ safeguards health in body mind and spirit the critics cotrfownded 1ml christ knew what was in the minds of his critics without them speaking a word their faces revealed their thoughts christ looked into their very hearts he did what they could not do the scribes were negative and shut themselves out from christs help the paralytic and bis four friends were positive and went away rewarded christ demonstrated his threefold power of teaching healing and character changing all tho scribes did was to criticise then- doctrines about god blinded them from seeing ood at work they were- given an object lesson that they could not deaf instead of having then- hearts softened they were probably more angry than ever they were the official and accredited teachers of religion but christ demonstrated the power of the living ood john wesley found it easier to preach to sinful colliers than to the sermon- hardened pagans of the pews many people have been inoculated with such small amounts of christianity that they have become immune to the real thing christs power pe rate u there was no room for doubt when a paralytic who was carried to peters house picked up his pallet and walk ed out yet the spiritual transforma tion through forgiveness of sins was much more remarkable than the physical cure the healed man did not need to say anything it was enough for him to walk and have his face beam with gratitude for release from guilt the spectators could not analyse the cure or reason it out all that they could do was to glorify ood saying we never saw the like of it moffatt the mass movements in india sajs bishop azariah are not i sendees but to te due to evangeusuo send

origin a picturesque brother of the underground railway according the dictionary the phrase was coined during the civil war as the underground railway was a secret and guarded means of sending slaves from the south to freedom so the grapevine telegraph was any devious or covered means by which news or rumor traveled by private letter by word of mouth and so on communication was not well organ ized and there were many false war reports afloat reports not to be easily and speedily silenced tales and canards of mysterious origin were said to have come by grapevine telegraph the diction ary still see to limit the use of the term to mysterious rumors and fabricated reports but by exten sion the grapevine route is any means of communication which is not easily detected or which is able to
