Saul--The form of the name is not Graecized at all. So in Acts 26. 14 the voice is "in the He- brew (that is, Aramaic) language." The doubling of the name is quite characteristic of Jesus. Compare his "Martha, Martha," "Jerusalem, Je- rusalem," and rather similarly "Ver- ily, verily," "yea, yea." Me--Compare Luke 10. 16; also John 15, 20. : 5. Who art thou?--This is con- sistent with the probable fact that Saul had seen Jesus on earth, and joined in the "persecution" which had its 'climax on Calvary. He might well fail at first to see that the glor- ious Face was really the same as that one "marred beyond any man's" on which he had looked "with what bitter triumph" so lately. 6.

Morgan expresses the view that a concerted raid by the airmen of the Allies on undefended places in Germany is legitimaté. Such raids are justified and salutary, be- cause they would hit the civil popula- tion of Germany hard, and because Zeppelin raids are largely, if not principally, designed to gratify the civil population of Germany with sen- sations not only of military prowess, but of sanguinary delight. Inspired articles in German newspapers tray a ghoulish satisfaction in the feeling that the war is being carried into every village and every home. The only way to deal with this is to convince the civil population of Ger- many that their lust for slaughter will recoil on their own infatuated heads. The article continues:--Far be it from me to advocate that we, or our Allies, should we get the chance, prac- tise the same barbarities on the en- emy as they have practised upon us. God forbid! But I do say that the consideration of a military operation, designed not to avenge the Zeppelin raids, but to put an end to them, should not be obscured or deprecated by a misplaced tenderness for people who have shown anything but tender- ness themselves. Until we realize what the French have realized long ago, that the German people are bes- tial people, whose only conception of international law is "heads I win, tails you lose," we shall be fighting with our hands tied behind our backs, I confess that Canon Sanday's solici- tude for "the whole world which® is looking on" leaves me very cold. The greater part of the civilized world is already fighting on our side. Evidence has copie into my hands quite recently which goes to show that the cruelty of the German troops to our men, ferocious as<it was in the early stages of the war, is even more ferocious now.

They had left her asleep in a snug corner, and there they found her, still sleeping. Offered Chocolates from Germans. "The German trenches were about 150 yards off, and the level, open space between the two lines wasn't healthy. No man who valued his life uld go there unnecessarily, or recklessly put his head above the par- One morning, to their horror, the men, through the periscope, saw the child standing above the trench on the German side. Cries came from the enemy, but they were not hostile. The sight of the girl little more than an infant, had touched their senti- mental side, and she had offers of chocolates and invitations to go and see them. "After that the girl went over the parapet quite often. She was as safe in-that danger zone as if she had been behind the lines. No German would harm her, and once she went close up to the first line trench." | The eight days trench duty ended, the little daughter of the company {was taken back and was not allowed to get between the lines again. She was taken charge of by the company storekeeper, who had children of his .own and was mightily proud of his skill in dressing and undressing the child and his strictness about the morning bath.

A month after she was found the men thought that she ought to have a name. Philip Impel, who found her, was how dead and they gave her his surname, with Phyllis as the nearest approach to Philip.

If 'the entire vault of heaven were covered with innumerable strata of | stars, one behind the other, 'as with 2 Workers Well Off. Walter Runciman, President of the Board of Trade, in outlining the above,' said there had never been greater i] history of the country. The only trades relatively quiet are the build« ing, linen, and some of the Iu producing trades, bud even in these the workers have found employment elsewhere, or enlisted. Longer hours are being worked in nearly all the] trades, and it is estimated that this' overtime represents an increase 4% per cent, in the number of persons) employed. A few firms have had to, shut down, but among the active firms' only seven per cent. of their machin ery was idle during December. This is a better record than for peace times.' Wages Increased. About 5,600,000 people have receiv ed raises, and the increase in wages has been roughly a million pounds a week. An example of the rise in wages may be seen in the case of the seamen. Before the war they got about four pounds ten shillings a month and their keep. Now they re- ceive between eight and eight pounds' ten shillings per month. Exceptional men in the engineering trades, work- ing overtime, have earned from five to ten pounds and over per week. One toolmaker in Coventry, by great efforts, made more than sixteen! pounds in a week. ! Employment for Women. It is estimated that the number of] women who have been substituted for men in the metal trades is 77,000, in the leather trades 14,000, and in the miscellaneous trades 274,000. Besides these, many are in the Government' employ, an increasingly large body, are in commercial houses, and a great number are employed in the dilution' of labor and in, agricultural work. More women are needed badly on the' farms. Two hundred thousand could be used in the south of England alone.! Women are performing every kind of work which is not too heavy for their strength. In one firm they are making electric motors; in another they are doing all the work in manu- facturing two-inch howitzer shells, in- cluding the testing of them. When Peace Comes. "On the return of peace," said Mr. Runciman, "the men will leave the army gradually. There will be a dis- appearance of overtime work and a) reduction in the number of hours of! work, which will call for the employ- ment of more people. The whole ques- tion hinges largely on the restoration of our export trade and tonnage to cope with it." oh. 7,000 LOST THEIR PARENTS. » | Homeless Children in Serbia Placed in Asylums.
