Another time he was dining with Bernhardt and old Madame Guerard. who always lived and travelled with her. The conversation fell upon the roles, in life which each shcuzld choose to play.

One was a tiny public-house (saloon) called The Audrey Arms, and she was obliged by her lease to keep the busi- ness going! But she discouraged cus- torn by the quality of the “swipes” she served, and the trade went to an- other little “pub" in the same row of cottages. which sold much better beer. “I should like to be a queen," sai Sarah at once. A friend of Henry Irving’sâ€"Wal- ter Pollock â€"â€" who used to give a wonderful]; exact imitation of the famous actor, was paralyzed one night when in the presence. of convivial friends, Irving said. suddenly. "Now let us have that imitation of me that everyrudy is so fond of.” "Oh, I couldn’t . . . “I ........ " stammered the unhappy victim. “Go on, go on," “.aid Irving. “Here," handing him a. book, “read a page of this imitating me.” Pollock meekly took the book and began in a. half-hearted and shame- faced way, then warming to his work, finished in his best manner amidst the usual applause, chuckles, Robertson. w e e! Just think of being served with a "pot of 'ari an’ arf’” by Ellen Terry! What bliss! “OnE; one customer dropped in dur- ing my visit when we were at lun- cheon in the bar parlor,” he recalls, “and I stepped out to serve him. It was my sole experience as a potman and I trust that I gave satisfaction and good measure.” In due course, Graham Robertson was hidden by Ellen Terry to come down to The Audrey Arms for “a breath of fresh air.” Irving waited till the laughter had ceased and then said slowly and with perfect sincerity: "My boy, I never heard you read so well before in my life!” It is an old trick with reporters, trying to obtain an interview with a. celebrity who doesn’t appreciate the honorâ€"and there are some who don’t --to use flattery by asking their vic- tim for a “message to the people.” A certain scribe once tried the dodge on Burne-Jones, the famous painter. "Tell them,” said the great man. “that I hope they are very well, and that I am pretty well" And off he went. Hume-Jones, in his younger days, asked Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the poet er days, ! Nearly every girl believes a lot the poet rotherb irls are jealous of her. Ann Pavlowa, world famous dancer, was passionately fond of her beauti- ful home at Hampsteadâ€"adjoining good old Hampstead Heathâ€"with its lovely garden and lake, the latter built. specially for her swans. “Ivy House," for so it was named, had once been the home of Turner, the cele- brated painter, and Pavlowa would 833'. “I am glad to be living in a. house that used to belong to an art- ist!" Not because Turner was Tur- ner, be it noted, but because Turner was an artist! She loved her swans and was quite unafraid of them, recalls Walford Hay- den (who for twenty years was with Pavlowa as a music director.) She would seize them rapturouslyl and play with them by the water’s edge for hours and they never injured her in any way. Despite the fact that she had danced “The Swan” dance in- numerable times, she never allowed herself to become self-conscious in her love for the swans themselves. Applied Genesis Little Wilfred had been absent from Sunday school, and the teacher called to inquire why. Whistler had long wished to paint a. portrait of Disraeli, and one day he came upon his longed-tor model sitting alone in St. James‘s Park, London, apparently absorbed in thought. Plucking up his courage (Whistler afraid!) he endeavored to recall himself to the mystic Prime Minister and finally made his request. Disraeli remained silent throughout: then, after an icy pause, murmured: “Go away, go away, little, man." Whistler went, and with him Dis- raeli’s chance of immortality on can- vas, adds Graham Robertson. Each time Pavlowa had to leave Ivy House on one of her prolonged world tours, she would go into every room and say god-bye to her birds and flow- ers, says Mr. Hayden (in his book, “Pavlowa.)) When she would come back into the drawing room she would be weeping. She would sit on a chair and pray, blessing her home in the Russian manner before leaving it. on her departure for the Continental tour during which she died When leaving the house this time, Pavlowa astonished everybody by her hurry. She seemed to be running blindly away from the home she was never to see again. “The real reason," said the boy’s mother, “is because I fear he is learn- ing things that only tend to make him mischievous." She never failed to observe this rit- ualâ€"except once. This was on the last occasion when she left Ivy House “Mischievous!" exclaimed the aston- ished teacher. “Really, I don’t under- stand how Sunday school could have that effect on him.” “You see," explained the parent. “it’s like this. The last time Wilfred went to Sunday school he came home convinced that people are made of dust, and I found him trying to draw his little sister into the vacuum (-1caner."â€"C3untry Gentleman. and painter, why he A man with a poor memory has no business to become a liar "Why do you always attend the (gaming performance at the theatre?" “So I can enjoy the show without thinking what the critics have said."

The country depends largely on its vines and its agricul- ture, especially cereals and olives, and electricity is used for much of the work in this conncction. Electric power is also being extended to such operations as Sawing, cream separat- ing, dough kneading, and so forth, be- sides its growing use, generated by large tractors, for harvesting and threshing. One of. its most important uses is for deep plowing, so important for vineyards where the rainfall is ir- regular and insufficient. Formerly the native used' to turn only the surface of the soil with hand implements, and was satisfied with very low yields, but now with electric power available the soil is turned to a depth from 40 to 80 centimeters. Algeria is being forced to turn to machinery owing to lack of suitable labor.

Paul always believed that “every man’s life is a separate thought of God.” God had a work for each one to do. Having placed himself at his Father’s disposal, his own sphere in life had been made abundantly clear to him, Rom. 1: 1. The man who offers his life whole-heartedly to God will soon come to know where his work lies. Having completed his mission- ary activity in the Eastern part of the Empire. Paul now turned definite- ly to Rome. His pioneering soul. however. did not .xake of the Empire capital the terminus of his ambition. Paul was always “pressing forward.” “A man's reach must exceed his 2rasp,_or whgg’s 5V heaven for!” said Brovhiing. “Or what’s an earth for!" Paul would say. From Rome he would carry the gosnel to Spain aid the western barts bf +ho empire, v. 24. His vision of world evangelization' did not make him a visionary. Men, believing themselves “called" to some great enterprise have sometimes given up all interest in practical affairs. Paul’s enthusiasm was never divorced from common sense. He gave careful attention to details. The relations be- tween the Jewish churches of Pales- tine and the Gentile churches of Asia Minor and Greece were none too satis- factory. The poverty in Jerusalem provided an opportunity of binding the two together. Paul, seeing that, took much pains to arrange a genen ous collection for the youn zer churches for the “poor saints which are at Jerusalem,” v. 26. The belated folk who still maintain ‘hat the minister ought not to talk about money in the pulpit have not so learned of Paul. Missions and finances are inseparahly bound together. II. “SAFEGUARD THE FAITH," Titus 1: v. 7. “I have not swerved from mv appointed course. In everything i have acted upon what I believed to have been the promptings of God’s spirit. I have kept the faith, that is, Christ’s faith in me. I have not be- trayed the trust he placed in me. I have been true to the larger vision which emancipated me from the cold .and narrow legalism of my fathers.” Paul’s anxiety concerning his Jeru- salem visit (Rom. 15: 31), was only too well justified. When he came to Rome, he came in chains. Freed after his first trial, he evidently undertook another missionary tour during which he visited Crete. The new faith had evidently come to Crete long before Paul’s arrival. for its adherents were found in many cities. v. 5. He had been unable to complete the work of organization and he 'nstructed Titus the continue the appointment of over- seers, elders, bishops (all of which terms refer to the same office). With- out an organized ministry everything would soon fall into confusion and u.cay, surrounded as the Christians were with false doctrine and the pro- verbial dishonesty and immorality of the Cretans. III. “FAREWELL," 2 Tim. 4: 6-18.
