Despite the assumptions whizh underlie the epochal Washini- ton Conference, now in session, the central point of interest for mankicé i5 that upon which the eyes of the Sunday schools of the world are fix:4 today, as they consider the Apost.e Paul, caught in a mesh of polotico- ecclesiastical intrigue. 5 It would be enlightening to con- sider what may be called place provi- |dences, or the geography of power, {as our thoughts are divided between Paul, the far-travelled, at Palestina, and present-day world leaders a* Washington. Is it probable that the land where Christ first "tfrned tho world upside down' is permanentiy | the decisive point in earth's affairs? If 80, we need to look sharply in'o the fssues of Islam, Zionism, nation- {allsm, racial unrest and European | Imperialism which converege thera, Washington will never supplant | Jerusalem, A Man and A Orisis, As Lord Bryco points out fn ean- nection with the paucity of the higa- | est type of statesmanship during the | war, it is not true that a great occa- |slon always produces a great mar; jand it still remains to be seen wheth- |er an adequate figure will emerge at the Armamen: Conference. But sur Lesson reveals, rising above he {pomp and trappings of state any | kings and other potentates, the sun- [lime figure of a man' who dominated | his surroundings and alone made rge in a scene where he was officially ra'cd only as a prisnoer, This oldest of all lessons, the sheor | 8reatness and supremacy of person- | ality, is written on the very surface of our theme. Smaller men about him, puffed up with a sense of of- ficial importance, played petty poii- Los with a great issue: Paul clave close to the essential thing. This specacle ofthe persecuted aposlte, [in all the loneliness of real greatness, | towering high above the officially im- portant ones at whose feet he was [supposed to stand, has countless par- |allels, One such occurred recently at the meeting of the League of Nations, when Dr, Nansen, the explorer, plead- ed in vain with the nations to forego their fears and their sordid politics, and extend a bread-filled hand to the millions of Russian Peasants wlio are starving. Writing strongly upon the incident, The Manchester Guardian says, "The deaths it has been decided not to avert are likely to he about three times a numerous as the total deaths of soldiers in 4!l the armies {on both sides during 'he great war." It describes Dr, Nansen as standing J "a detached figure. of honor, courage and simplicity, rising white and columnar. out of the ranks of the ordinary dipomatists and politicians." Again, "Dr. Nansen strove with them till the going down of the sun to avert this collapse and stultitication of so much honorable pride and so much real sacrifices, But the powers were not 'o be mov- ed. . . . Every detail of Pi- late's attitude oy theirs too, ana the new Russian Calvary will have everything traditional and regular about it." . "Rising white and columnar," 'great man amid mean men, --suc was Paul at Caesarea, the hero in manacles. Here we have Yn elernally con- temporaneoug contrast between the Paul type and the Felix-FestusiAg- rippa type, One was "not disobedient to heavenly vision." The others had left their visions and noble ideals, [if ever they had any, somewhere Among the discarded interests of their early careers. They had suc- cumbed to the commonest temp'as tion of the Politician. Of late thers have been numéroys books and arti- cles devoted to an analys of tha charac'ers ang careers of public men; it. is a significant and hopeful sign that so many of these,' as in "Mirrors of Downing Street," point out ang lament the decline of moral convic-- tions and Courage as the real secret of the failures of the men studied, That ancient drama in Ceasarea is strangely kin to momentous modern meetings, A "Dangerous' Man. A certain jurist known 'o me, who Is truer to his corrupt political ore Ranization than to his judicial obliga- tions, remarked concerning a plain- most dangerous man in 'his county." The besmirched judge really meant that the man wag dangerous to tha | political tranquility of the dominant | party, jus: as sunlight is dangerous | to disease, and as the tén gommand- ments and the civil law'are danger |ous to transgressors. By that defini [ tion, thé Apostle Paul wag the most dangerous man in Judea. His clear and fearless voice rang against the evils of society and of politics and of the church. The ecclesiastics hated him with a deadly hatred; 'he Ro- man governor trembled, before his | preaching, and the people turned into | the Way that he proclaimed. True, his enemies had the physical power to imprison him; but he was | still 'he freest spirit of the time; for! "Stone walls do not a prison make, | Nor iron bars a cage." Paul embodied the ideals of liberty and righteousness and honor which | were the one hope of a degenerate |day. Although he was a prisoner at [the bar, he was the real leader of tha {force tha' was destined to overthrow {Rome's imperial pagan power, This {little Tarsus Jew, at whom petty governors and a kinglet sneered, | was the champion of the coming day, |at whose feet later kings and em- | perors were humbly to bow. Le: us us not miss the larger issue set in ar- ray as Festus and Aggrippa ranged Paul opposite to them: this was noth- |ing less than a phase of the eternal sirugglq between darkness and light, | wrong and right, reaction and prog- | ress, error and liberty, God and the Evil One. Paul's pivilege was the highest that ever comes to mortal, that of standing for God and Tomor- {row when all the eodds were against { him. -- With Oriental Splendor. "With great pomp" the sycophan- tic. Governor Festus staged this scene for King Agrippa and his sist- ler-wite, Bernice. Imagination easily paints the scene. The Roman soi- diers, in their most brilliant armor, were the background, flanking the thrones at the center of the mable Praetorium. Slaves were in atend- ance upon the officials. The influ- ential citizens of Caesarea were pre- sent, arrayed in their best. Apart, and distinctively clad, were the group of Jerusalem ecclesiastics and other Jews. Dr. Luke and few in- conspicuous Christians, wearing on their faces a peace that surpassed all pomp, stood by the little old man who was defendant, There was a fanfare of trumpets, and much processional splendor, and a general craning of necks ag roy- alty arrived. All the stately trap- pings were soon forgotten as the travel-worn missionary began his defense--which quickly became a sermon. What strange and wonder- ful pulpits Goad erected for is preacher Paul! Witheloquence be- yond the compass of trained Roman oratory, Paul held the mixed com- pany thrilled and enrapt by his testis mony to Christ and the resurrec- tion. He was less concerned abou: his own liberty than about preach- ing the Gospel. Festus, his respon- sibilities as host of the ocassion weighing upon him, his Roman im- perturbability shaken by this un- usual demonstration, interrupted with a phrase that was half tribute and half apology. With the skill of a really great orator, Paul converted the governor's words into a brillf. ant passage. Then,--such is the mastery of eee | true eloguence,--he turned the tables upon the king and became the Judge with Agrippa in the role of defend. | ant. He made the direct appeal for a | decision, What audacity! The royal | guest, confused, self-defensive, sput. jtered," "What! Are you trying to make a Christian out of me, a Roman | king!" ' . Yes, Agrippa, Yop poor, debauci- er, incestuous fruit of a rotten tree, this man in the dock was giving evan ¥ou, by God's royal bounty, a chance |to become what Xou had never been. For Paul could say--as he offered the only road to a new world order, namely, the way of individual conveérsion--*f would to God that { Bot thou only, but also all that hear me this day, might become such aa I, except these bonds." -------------------- nd AGEKES WITH PROF. MORISON Thay Dronkenness Better Than Dis. respect for Lawa, Canadian Freeman "I would rather see an Increase in drunkanness in Kingston than think that this city was inhabitated by men holding :be law in disrespest," Bo 1 rofessor Morison declared in his addres to the Canadian Clab on October 8th. And ail thinking peo- rle will agree with him, Prohibition in itself nay or may Not be a good thing: that is not the Question, Every thinking man knows that the law is not enforced. Why? Because the public conscience re- gards it as an extreme measure; and to enforce sucha law, you would re- Quire a policeman at the front door and the back door of every resi- dence. A law that cannot be enforced is a bad law, since it brings law into contempt, "Qccasionally a citizen is apprehen- ded violating the prohibition law; and he is fined out of all proportion to the offence. The man in the street notes this, and his resentment ag- ainst this legislation increases. He disregards the law. And when you arrive at a state of mind where you pidk and choose what laws you feel obliged to obey and what laws you feel free to violate, where are you going to draw the line? To place on the statute book a law that cannot be enforced is to bring all law into disrepute, Ana, in our opinion, this is exactly what prohibition has succeeded in doing. If one-half of the energy that is e.rended in trying to enforce pro- hibition were expended in the pro- rer regulation of the' liquor traffic, there would Fr» to-day more respect for law in general--and Canadiang would be more temperate, A Belleville Woman Accused of Bigamy Belleville, Nov. 17.--Dora Aman- da Wannamaker was arrested by Chiet Kidd and Sergeant Harman at her home, between Bloomfield and Picton, on a charge of bigamy, and was brought to this city and lodged" in the lock-up.

Many years ago deep in the wilds of Africa, there live a family of four-legged creatures, Mamma Zebra Was very proud of her little children, and always kept them dressed in lovely white suits, Three of the young zebras were always. careful of their clothing, but the youngest, Zeppy, was pampered and petted by his older gisters and brothers, and he became very careless, Sometimes Mama Zebra worried over his wilful ways, but Daddy Ze- bra always laughed her worries away with a good joke. "They all have to learn," he'd say when Mammy Zebra complained, Zeppy Put it On, "Give him time! Zeppy will yet make the world sit up dnd take notice, Just you see." Down in his heart Daddy Zebra Wasn't sure, but he hoped he wag right, and he wanted to cheer up poor Mama Zebra. Time went on, and Zeppy, instead of getting better, grew worse, His mama would no Sooner have him cleaned up in his nice little white Suit than away he'd run down to the edge of the marshes. And when he came home, generally long after the dinner hour, his once spotless white suit would be covered with dirt, One day Mama Zebra expected company, so she cleaned up her four little youngsters, and told them to be very careful not to get dirty. The three oldest children went out under the trees and sat down on the grass, But Zeppy, who couldn't seem to keep stil] long at a time, ran away to play with Mrs. Tiger's youngsters, and when he came homo his suit was all covered with mud. Mama Zebra excused him as best ske could before her guests, and sent him out to the fields, telling him not to dare to come home until he could promise that he'd never get so dirty again, Of course, Zeppy felt badly, and went right over to tell Mrs. Tiger about his troubles. "Well, I can't see any sense in dressing jungle children in white, myself," said Mrs. Tiger. "Now, how much more practical it would be if Mama Zebre put you in dark clothes." "But we Zebras have always prid- get. a mu #160 .... 115 When you for modern ---- 7, 1021, ) ens waler- cuts grease ed ourselves on wearing white!" ox. claimed Zeppy. "Why, there isn't a zebra in the Jungle thet doesn't wear white!" . "Then it's high time they change their minds," snapped Mrs. Tiger. "Why, look at my children! I dress them in stripes, and thelr clothes never look soiled. White! Why, 1 couldn't keep them looking decent, Put on one of thelr siriped dresses and see if you dont lika it," and she handed Zeppy one of the fawn-shade dresses 'with its broad black stripes, Zeppy put fit on, but turned up his nose, "I'd like jt better if it were white and black," he said, agree with you that stripes would be better, I'd like them." So Mrs. Tiger, wishing to help Zep- Py, of whom she was very fend, set to work and nrade a broad black stripes running a it.
