The decision to take 'a ship that would not touch at Ephesns illustrates the immense importance attached to his offering the gifts of the Gentile Christians at the time when there would be a large con- course of Jewish Chrisians in the Holy City. Still keeping up the practice of coming to worship at one of the the great feasts, if no more, they naturally chose Pentecost, the church's birthday. 17. Miletus--Some _ thirty miles south of Ephesus, and in early his tory much more important. The eld- ers or presbyters (margin), who in verse 28 are called bishops. In the first century the names were intet- changeable, denoting the same work from different point of view; indeed, they are hardly technical titles at all yet. Those who "watched on be- half of souls" were called variously superintendents (bishops), seniors (presbyters), servants (deacons), or leaders. = A stereotyped constitution, with a monarchical "bishop" set above his "fellow elders" (compare 1 Peter 5. 1), is. a development of the second century. Providence ordained that the authoritive books should have no fixed form of church government, so that ages might be free to deter- mine his purely administrative matter in their own way. 19, Lowliness--Till Christ made this a virtue, the word suggested only "meanness, grovelling."

' The point of view of the soldier in the trenches is very plainly stated in the following appeal to munition workers and all others engaged more directly in the production of material for the Army, submitted by a wound- ed Tommy at Southampton. He was formerly a reporter, and on the way over in the steamer he wrote this moving message:-- : "All I want to say to the people at home is this:--You can never eat your dinner, or smoke a pipe, or read & newspaper, or go bo 'the pictures,' but what, while you are getting through with it, some scores of your own country men are knocked out by Boche bullets and shells. There's not the slightest need for you to be depressed about this. Go ahead with the dinner, and the pipe, and the 'ple- tures! and the rest of it as much as ever you like. We're nod giving away a drop of your countrymen's blood; not this year. It's all being sold, on a good business basis and fetching an excellent price, thank you; a better price it. may be than ib ever fetched before in all the history of the Empire. So don't grieve after us. Our High Cdhmands know what they're doing, and Master Boche's doom is set; and he knows it, and we know it. We're doing our bit all right. Are you? "I'm pretty sure you are by the way our heavies have been talking in the lasd fortnight. Keep it up. We've got a hundred miles front out there, and as' far as I can make out we're pressing Master Boche pretty. hard over every yard of it. It's the only way to end the war; and as for the time it will take, Ireckon that's largely in your hands now. Our part of the machinery is all right, and I don't think you'll find any failure there, For God's sake, don't you fail us. "Everybody will know what I mean, won't they? It boils down ta muni- bions of war--that's all, munitions of war, You can't send us too much. For God's sake be sure you send us enough, You can measure the blood the guns and shells and cartridges you send outs The more you send the less we'll have to pay. Send plenty. | My countrymen and countrywomen, send plenty." ; ------ es + HATRED IN WAR'S WAKE. German Clergymen Foresee - ness Among Nations. Little hope of peaco and quietness for the belligerent nations after the war is held out by the ministers of the Evangelical Church in Germany, ac- cording to reports of recent sermons delivered by them earing In the London press.

Schiller, is quoted as writing on this subject as follows ; "It will be a hard and fron time, time of tension, a time of trained a aments and Toadies rid to 'wake up after war more gentle: and more harmless ?

This merely goes to show how very little a great many owners really know about the electrical system, for common sense ought to tell that ft would have been absolutely impos- sible to do any such thing. It is Just like saying that he ran a steam engine without a boiler or other cource of steam supply. - To start the '| engine you must draw the current from the battery in order to send it to the starting motor. If there 1s no battery you have no starting current. So much for that, As regards run. ning without the battery, let us say plainly once more--=do not do it. Most generators, are of the shunt-wound type, and being of that type of high voltage is builb up when there is no provision for using or taking off the current that is produced. Suppose you were to take a water pump and stop the outlet so that no water could be let out. Now, if you pumped wa- ter from the well by working the handle you would be drawing it into the pumy, and pretty soon something would have to break if there were no way for this water to get out. So with the generation. The bat- tery is there to receive the current generated and when it is not in con- nection you are stopping the electri- cal outlet without stopping the in- let if the engine is running, There and inadvisable thing to do unless ab- solutely necessary. ; ' A ,. An over-heated battery is one of the wors things that can happen to a car owner because it may incapacitate 'his Entire electrical system. It is well therefore, to observe closely the con- dition of the storage battery before starting on a tour, as well as to test, it occasionally enroute. Over-heating may be caused by: several things. Two of the mosh common causes aré lack of water or over ' harging from the generator. A battery kept full of pure distilled water is not nearly so apt to become over-heated as one in which the solu- tion has been allowed to reach a level lower than the top of the plates. When these plates are exposed to the 'air, the oxidation which goes on bul- ges and wraps them, causing short- circuits and considerable damage to the entire baitery. This often re- sults in the entire starting, lighting and ignition system being put out of condition. Before starting on a trip; the gen- erator should be adjusted to supply the battery with the proper amount of current at high speed, inasmuch as the driving is generally faster when touring. If the'generator is not fur- nishing current properly, it should not be experimented with, but examined by someone who is competent to make the proper adjustment. Only a thorough electrician should be given a Job of this kind, and for that reason the Willard Company insists that their Service Stations be conducted only by experts who thoroughly un derstand electrical systems from start | to finish. ALL BRITAIN IS NOW WORKING 4,000 PLANTS ARE BUSY MAKING MUNITIONS. War Supplies Produced Monthly as Great as Was Turned Out First Year of War. When the British forces in France 'began their great offensive bombard- ment on June 27 and for days hurled into the German lines such an aval anche of steel and lead as the week had never known before, even the people of England expressed wonder that it should have been possible to assemble so vast a store of munitions. The story of how these supplies were created constitutes one of the most impertant chapters in the history of British achievement during the war. At the outbreak of hostilities two years ago there were only three im- portant Government munitions factor- fes in the British Isles. To-day some four thousand Government-controlled firms, employing more than 2,000,000 workers, are turning out virtually all of the tremendous amount of war ma- terials which have gone to equip the five million British soldiers in the fleld. The organization of this great in- dustry has been accomplished in a little more than one year by the Min- istry of Munitions, which was estab- lished in May, 1915, under the leader- ship of David Lio George. In that time every available resource of the country has been built for the produc: tion of munitions. Not Dependent on U.S. A staff of 5,000 people has been re- quired to supervise the work. At the head of this staff and responsible only to the Minister of Munitions has been a man whose organizing ability has been acoorded wide-spread recogni- tion. He is Dr. Christopher Addison, internationally known for his medical research work. Dr. Addison, during jan Interview with a representative of The Associated Press, told as much of the story of the creation of this industry as could be made public at this time. % At the outset he disposed of the statement which has been made in America to the effect that if it were not for the munitions furnished by the United States Great Britain would have to quit the war. "I have heard that statement made," said Dr. Addison, "and it is preposterous, of co! tates has ng ma are anxious to get for the manufac- ture of munitions, but so far as the actual production of shells goes, America has provided uf with only a very small percentage of those which we have used." . Turning to the manufacturing of ons, in, this 'country, he ¢ nite: and is furnish- of 'raw materials which we tral that time they were full of orders. "In the early stages of the conflict more attention was pald to field guns and their equipment than to, heavy guns, but as time went on the require- ments for heavy shells greatly in- creased. In June, 1915, we made an inventory of all the available machin- ery in the country and it was evident that it was entirely inadequate to meet the demands. There were, how- ever, a great many private firms which could be brought in to make munitions and it was: decided to mobilize them for. national service. In order to do this we created an organization embracing the entire country. Thousands of firms have been brought in, many of which had never geen a shell body, or a | fuse, or a grenade, or a bomb, before, | much less than made them. Now mu- nition making in some form or other has extended well nigh to every con- siderable town--indeed to large num- bers of villages. Could Have Weekly Battle. "We can now produce in less than & month as many of the lighter shells as could have been turned out in the whole year of 1914-15. In less than a fortnight: we can make more heavy. shells than we could have done in {the year 1914-15, We can now turn out in a week far more shells, filled and complete, than were used in the whole battle of Loos, which extend: ed over a fortnight, and they had been saviig ammunition for that battle for a month. We could have a battle of Loos every week now, and it wouldn't touch the shell reserve stock. "Regarding our present capacity for . gun production as compared with the capacity of June, 1914, _be- fore the war, we are now making In the case of the lightest guns, over ten times what we were then, in the case of medium welght guns over 20 times, and in the case of heavy guns more than 650 times. c "The production of trench warfare supplies hag meant the creation of an industry, of which there was i Practically no experience in this country. Now, grenades are being made in backyards and in all sorts of smal ghops, as well as in the big factories, and hundreds of thousands are being produced weekly. Labor Problem Hard. "One of the most anxious problems has been the supply and the distribu- 'tion of skilled labor. There was not enough skilled labor to go round. This fact was recognized by the !trades unions, and the Government +has received thelr hearty assistance | throughout in the distribution of skilled labor, and in' the dilution of skilled labor with unskilled. The in. troduction of anskillea labor into the (field of skilled labor is a sacrifice of {skilled labor, to which no too and y | workers, and in thousands of cases | have wi y been moved fro iwork to day wages, with the res they earned smaller wages people they had trained have at plece ; id 5 "This position' was rendered Sin
