Introduction â€" Piiu aiTives at Jer- usalem in May, .\.l). 67, to ftnd the city crowded with pilfftims attending tho feast of PenteroKt. The teachers of the i-hurch re lizc that the city is a dangerous place for one with the repu- tation of Paul, lie is a tn.tiked man among the .lews because or his sup- posed hostility to the law. Paul is, therefore, urged to put himself right in the eyes of the pet-ple by perform- ing a certain religious ceremony which will make it clear that he personally observes the ritual. But this only ends in a riot, for the Jews hud noticed him in company .ith a Gentile, named Trophimus, and they rushed to the con- clu.sion that Paul had admitted this man into the inner temple, which was a criminal offence in i ;ii eyes. I. PAI'I, ANT THE ROMAN CAPTAIN, 21: 37 to 22: 1. V. 37. Lysias knows that he is re- sponsible for the order of the city, and ' he naturally decides to arrest Paul., He i.s .surprised to find that he is able to speak Greek, just as a litlle later! the people are surprised that he can i speak Aramaic. { v. 38. The captain has s ipposed that â-  this man was a false prophet from Egypt who a little while before had led a revolution aga'n^t Rome, and who had escaped t- us far. But Paul indignantly denies thi.-t statement and with manifest civic pride affirms that he is a citizen of Tarsis. V. 40. The scene is very memorable, and must have appealed strongly to the memory of the great apostle. Twenty-four years beiore this he had taken part in a similar riot • /er the Christian confession made by . tephen, the first Christian martyr. \t that time, Paul had been or. the sic. of the Jews, and had been a leader 'n the attack on the followers of Jesi . But now everything is reversed. He is back in the familiar city, filled with sad memories, and i.ow he is pleading the cause of those whom once he perse- cuted. He wishes to make his defence of Christ. Many of his old Jewish friends would probably be present, and many more were there who had heard of his fame. It was thus a situation fraught with intense emotion. Paul raised his hands to call their attention as he began to „pe» k in the Hebrew, or Aramaic language. Ch. 22, V. 1. The address opens in the ordinary way and contir.ues to •. 22. The speech wus a bold, straight- forward talk. Paul mentions his early training in the Mosaic law under a great rabbi, Ganii.Iiel, refers to his own zeal in persecuting the Christians and then tells of the preat revolution made in his life by the lin'rit that broke upon him on the r( nl to Damascus. »n V. 17, he mentions a vi.sion he had in the temple, wamir.g him of impending danger and at tin* point the fury of the people break? out. II. PAUL AND THK A.NCRY MOB, 22: 22-29. V. 22. As alrta<i.v suggested th's scene is much li.te that which is re- ported in connection with the death of Stephen. The Jews lose all self- control, shaki. their garments and cast du.st into the air. as signs of their inlen.s« abhorenc- oi the words of Paul. Some think that they threw cfT their outer garments i no'dpr to be freer to cast itonet at him, as in the Stephen's case. V. 24. The 1 /man captain cannot understand the Aramaic, but he sees quite clearly from the actions of the mob that grave danger is at hand and he orders Paul to be taken to the castle of Antonio wh' li lies north of the temple area. He j.roceeds to use scourging in order to force the pris- oner to tell the trth. It was illegal to use such torture except where the pris- oner hud refused to confess, and it was always illegal to scourge a Roman citizen. V. 25. Paul is acco- ,ngly tied to the post with the straps and he was about to receive these fearful blows when he is able to make the soldiers under.stand that he is a Roman citizen. The cir- cum8tance.s in which Paul claims tho privilege of Rome are specially g^ven by Luke â€" "It was expedient to make the reason for such apparent disloyal ty to the nation quite clear." V. 26. The centurion in charge of the band naturally hasU ns to report thifse circumstances to the captain, and Lysias is filled with ev-:n greater surprise at this astjnishing prisoner. V. 28. He cannot refrain f.-om men- ti'-r.ing his astonishment that a poor and apparently u:ip pula • Jew should have received a j)ri\ilege which he himself had obtar ed only after a heavy payment. He likely had been an alien, and had bribed some of the Em- peror's freedmen who tarried on a great traffic in this bjsiness. In Paur.<i case the citiisenship had come through his father. Many of the Jews taken to Rcme by Pompey as slaves had re- ceived freedom and citizenship. V. 29. Lysias realized the danger of this action and orde t them to give ror.sideration to Paul. Canadian Girl Works Island Claim as Miner College Graduate 1 5 Years on Northern Venture; Lives in Pioneer's Cabin Toronto -VVomou are "sitting on top of the world" in many fields of activity, but to Miss Kathleen Uico, graduate of the University of To- [ ronto, Roos the unusual distinction of active operations as a mining pros- pector, i Mining Is one of tho chief topies of conversation in Canada at present but while the home woman, the busi- ness woman and tho professional wo- man discuss liow many shares of thl.s or that they own. Miss Rice Is work- ing her claim. Her part In tho ro-j mance of mining is a definite one. At present her base camp is on an island In Herb Lake, or to use the^ more melodious Indian name, Wek- usko Lake, northern Manitoba. From this base she has worked since 1921. Here she lives In a log cabin that' harks back to the days of the pioneers, and here she pioneers on one of her most promising claims, a copper and nickel vein on an Island, within a stone's throw of her cabin. Hard work has been tangled up in the romance, and Miss Rice had consid- erable difficulty In proving the claim. Now, bo-vevtr, she is receiving en- couragement, for engineers on tfco ground have pronounced the pros- pects good. Kathleen Rice Is one of those "girls of the great open spaces who tote guns," seen often on the screen as being typical of Canada, but very rare Indeed In the Canada of real life. Most women would be satisfied to gain distinction In man's field by prospecting in the summer, but Miss RIce adds further laurels to her out- door reputation by trapping In the winter. In this way she actually Is successful enough to make her stake for summer operations. While she uses a gun like a veteran, she never shoots for sport. Once, when a moose fell to her rifle she- preserved the meat for future use. Devotion to animals Is one of Aliss Rice's outstanding characteristics. Always, in the north, she Is seen with and known by her famous dogs. De- spite the unwritten law of the north country, she ignores and never uses the lash. In this matter she has the full approval of the dogs, who not only shower her with devotion but repay her by being the best trained dogs within hundreds of miles... | It is now fifteen years since Miss' Rice, daughter of Henry Lincoln Rice, B.A., of Toronto, went north on , a lone venture The spirit of ad- venture was financed by a college chum from Chicago, who staked her, when she komesleaded In the name of her brother, Lincoln Rice, of St. Mary's, Ontario. The young Cana- dian girl was tired of cities and class- rooms. She longed for tho north; felt "the call of windswept places," so she left her position as a mathe- matics specialist In an Ontario high school and iill'.«"d to an unknown land. The rest of the story is teem-: Ing with adventure; her richest gold quartz claim Is on the shore of Herb! Lake, In the line of strike with the Bingo, Rex and KInskI mine.s. Be- cause Starr Is a family name, she calls It the Starr claim. The name connects the Rice family with the ear|lest New England settlement. This claim shows not only gold but other high mineral values. She was one of the first prospectors In the north to find vanadium.â€" N.Y. Herald- Tribune. L G.

Sir John states that the force has been established on a Arm basis and ! developed on sound lines, but owing to the obsolete type of service ma-' chines In use and the entire absence of reserve equipment he does not con- i slder the force fit to undertake warj operations in co-operatlna with the | awry and navy. Britain Places Hugest Guns in Gibraltar Base Cannon Fringing the Rock Can Fire Into Continent of Africa, 14 Miles A'way Population Now 25,000 Promontory Off Sp>ain Pop- ular as Health Resort Gibraltar. â€" While statesmen and reformers have been discussing world disarmament. Great Britain has made this rocky promontory at the souther- ly extremity of Spain one of the most powerful foUresses In the world. Gigantic guns of the latest and most deadly pattern have been placed along the ridge of the great "Rock," replacing those of smaller calibre that used to be mounted on the sea level of the famous fortress. The most elaborate system of range- fintling has been Installed. It Is now pos.sible for the big guns to tire straight into the continent of Africa, fourteen mllos away. All the lessons the British learned In the World War have found concrete expression at Gibraltar in the construction of the most formidable sea fortress ever known. Sweeps the Mediterranean Sweeping the Mediterranean for a distance of thirty miles and operating at a height of more than 1,000 feet, these tremendous cannon have enor- mou.sly increased tho range, fire and general efllclency of Gibraltar as Eng- land's guardian and gateway to the Seven Seas. In addition to this, a series of great subterranean tunnels, moles, embattled walls, emplacements, fortifications and secret armored chambers have been built. Miles of space have been reclaimed from the sea for the accommodation of huge new docks, shipways, wharves an Jetties, There Is an enclosed har- bor of •HO acres where an entire fleet may anchor, safe from torpedo or sub- marine attack. This harbor cau take care of the repairing, refitting and coaling of a large fleet of battleships. Tho British authorities have also built a number of fine, modern roads, one of the largest running to the north front from the line wall, and another at the back of Catalan Bay, running to. the mouth of the tunnel. A third road and tunnel will be bored on the south aide, encircling the Rock. 25,000 Live on Rock Although Gibraltar Is less than two mllea In area, it is the most densely populated spot in the world. It has 10,000 people to the square mile. In some places this, the gceatest of the world's armed citadels, is only one- quarter of a mile wide. The residen- tial part of Gibraltar occupies only about one-tenth of the total area of the Rock. Only a small part of the town is on level ground. Yet Gibral- tar boasts nearly 25,000 population. Of this number 20,000 are civilians. The rest are naval and military forces. The langauge of the people is a cor- rupt Spanish. Because of the ever-present coutln- gency of war and the necessity of guarding Intact all the secrets of the fortress, the British authorities are obliged to keep a sharp (%eck on any increase in the present population. Whenever possible, the poorer classes are shifted from Gibraltar across the frontier Into the neighboring Spanish town of La Llnea de la Concepclon, which now has a population of 63,000. Spanish and other visitors are allowed to enter the island from the mainland or from boats between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m., after which hour the Rock Is rigidly cleared of all aliens. Although primarily and essentially a naval base, Gibraltar in recent years has become something of a health re- sort, it Is a favorite stopping place for American tourist ships on Mediter- ranean crulse.s. Christianity Is Waning, Bishop Warns England Clieltenham,' Kngland. â€" Europe to- day is weltering In a "chos of Im- morality," to Judge from the state- ment of Dr. Hensley Henson, Bishop of Durham, before tho Church Con- gress here. "What reason Is there." Dr. Henson asked, "for feeling confident that the Christianity of England In 1928 Is more firmly fixed in the national ac- ceptance than that of France and Russia on the eve of their revolu- tions?" However, the existing situation may he viewed. Dr. Henson continued, "one I feature is equally Incontestable and ! disquieting â€" the general and Increas- I ing Ignorance of the Christian- faith and morals which mark oar popula- tion. "The record of revolution suggests that the two points on whloh the at- tack ijn Christianity is sooiivest made are sex morality and oducationa. The two pillars on which sex morality In Christlandom has hitherto rested have been the conception of the marriage union as permanent, by divine law, and the claim of children as the nor- mal product of the marriage union. "Both of these have been removed by the licentious theories now largely accepted In Europe, Hence the chaos into which sexual morality has fallen throughout Western civilization." RemodellinsT Garments It there &te many alter atkm* to make, it is best to rip the old garment entirely apitrt, wa«h, - or otherwi'^e clean the material or Bend it to the cleaners, and press the pieces. Wool ssoods may be washed in mild soap and lukewarm water, rinsed thoroughly in clear water of the same temperature v/ith a slightly sudsy rinse at the last to preserve the softness of the ma- terial, and carefully pressed on the wrong side whenjt is dry. A hot iron on wet woolen cloth will shrink and harden it beyond repair. Re:Tiove the wrinkles by steaming, keeping a damp clot.h iKJtween the dry material and the iron. It often happens that the wrong side of woolen material looks like new while the right side is worn in places. Under such circumstance'*, what was the wrong side of goods in the old gar- ment should be the right side in the new. and the pressing done according- ly. If this necessitates the removal of tailored pockets, after pressing care- full;- mend the slits with a backing of the goods, and later conceal the place by a patch pocket. This necessity must be kept in mind when adjusting the new pattern to the material. The pattern used in recruiting an old garment should be as simple as possible. The note of variety in clothes for children and young girls, especial- ly, lies chiefly in clever trimming ar- rangements and the addition of smart dainty accessories. The dresses them- selves are on the simplest lines, for however f ah ion may demand tho orna- mental for adults, childhood and youth are beautiful in themselves and sim- plicity will always remain the correct thing, and the smartest, for children up to at least 17. An expert advises that in remodel- ing clothes for children the surplus edge on the printed pattern be re- moved, regardless of the manufactur- ers directions. "This saves confusion in cutting and enables one to exactly gauge her limited material. "Pin the front and back sections of the pattern together at the shoulder seams, adjust to the figure and pin along the under arm seam to deter- mine whether or not any alterations should be made in the pattern before it is laid on the goods. Alterations in length .should be made three inches above the waist and four inches l>elow the wai.st. Alterations as to width are made on a line parallel to the centre front and four inches away from it. Sleeves are lengthened both above and below the elbow. "Sizes over 40 should have a dart from the shoulders or from the under- arm to give sufficient fullness at the bust. .'\. three-quarter inch allowance on the shoulder seam of the back por- tion of the pattern should be made for people inclined to be round-shouldered as that gives additional width at the back. If many alterations are neces- sary, choose a plain pattern and make them, then company the other pattern with thi?. By following these sugges- tion? instead of the incorrect methods followed by most amateurs for seam alterations, the garment will fit pro- perly because the correct proportions have i)ecn maintained. "There are a few inexorable rules to follow in regard to making over garments. One is: never undertake to make over materials that, after a thor- ough cleaning and pressing, do not look likf new. A successful 'made over' never looks like a made-over. On the other hand, it is amazing what can be doro sometimes by a clever woman with soiMiiingly impossible materials, ".Mwjiys detern.ine upon a model that roiiuires as little extra expense as pussilile. It rarely pays to buy much that is new to go with old ma- terial, although there are exceptions to this rule, of course. Also, choose a nwKlol for reproduction that involves as Utile cutting up of the original gar- j nient as possible. Yet keep in mind that you dare to be original with used ! mutciial when with new you would 'occasionuUy hesitate to experiment."â€" 'Christiaii Science Monitor. i * NEW NECKLINE. Smart women are choosing. the black- crepe satin frock, because it adapts itself so perfectly for everyday occa- sions, particularly in semi-spc-ts styl- ing, as seen in Design No. 284. The deep French V rolled in revers, notch- ed collar, and diagonal closing vestee, do much toward attaining slender sil- houette. The kilted effect of skirt is youthful fashion to provide fulness without interfering with its slender line. Long tight sleeves have turn- back fitted cuffs. The vestee, rever facing, cuffs and collar are chic made of the dull surface of crepe. Printed sheer tweed with canton-crepe vestee, autumn-leaf brown flat silk crepe with beige, printed s'..eer velvet with faille crepe, black rayon velvet with beige canton-faille crepe, and printed wool jersey with plain jersey are popular combinations.

CHANCE At a certain hotel a card-sharpet made the acquaintance of a fairly in- uocem-looklug old man, and after a polite chat suggested a game of cards. His ucw-tound friend agreed, and they started to play without more ado. Unfortunately, the manager of the hotel did not allow this sort of thing and shortly afterwards he appeared on the scene and interrupted them. "You can't play games of chance here, I am afraid, gentlemen," he said courteously. "It isn't a game of chance," snap- ped the sharper angrily. "My friend here has no chance at all."
