Sault Art Of Paper-Making No industrial saga is more fas- | cimating than the story of paper, '| ~Jt=did not start' with wood, but wood has largely taken it over. Over cighteen centuries ago, the ' Chinese invented the art of macer- ating vegetable fibers and then matting them, on woven 'wire screens .under water, into! thin flat sheets. The materials first used were mulberry bark, old fish nets," hemp and rags. . The papyrus of Egypt was probably the most wide- -ly used writing material of ancient: peoples and gave - the fame to paper, but it did not meet the spe- sifications of paper as the Chinese made it. Inner filaments ffom the "stalk qf #the papyras plant were flattened out, wet, laminated in several thicknesses, pressed to- gether, and dtied in the sun. Pa- pyrus_was really light and leafy form of plywood. Paper is still made by hand in 'China and elesewhere, and very much. the same tools that Teé'ai- Lun devised in'A.D. 105 are used. Ex- perts tell' us that no more durable- paper has yet been made. than the hand-wrought sheets of linen and 'cotton fiber on which thé Guten- berg Bible was printed in 1450, With a thousand technical improve- ments and substitution. of giant complicated machines for human labor, modern paper mills. turning out five hundred tons a day still use - the same basic process. . , .

Gideon, a Man of Faith and Humility, - Judges 6:11-17, 25-27; 8: 22-23. - Memory Selection: Teach me Thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a 1 plain path.--Psalm 27:11. It is always refreshing fo find a man who possesses the great com- - bination of humility and faith. With such men the Lord can achieve. His 'purpose. Gideon was such -a man, He came from a poor family and in his own estimate he was the least - __in that family. But heartened by a vision he became an adventurer for God in three great ways, In the realm of pegsonal religion Gid- - eon fourrd a faith for himself. The _ story of the fleece has been judged by some to be a crude method to - it Gideon _ test God, but out of evolved a faith that. satisfied him, that upheld him. Religion, if -it. is to have any. personal value, must be founded upon "personal experi- y ence. Because Gideon had a living faith e moved to his next great ad- venture, that of a leader in social service. Today the land is 'in: the grip of enemies .just as relentless as those of Israel. Political life is full of evil; in too many ways un- - scrupulous men exploit the people. The poor are oppressed, the weak are crushed.
