"The most impressive thing about the sea is its shallowness as compared with the size of the earth, and its depth as compared with the height of the land. If one were to take a globe six feet in diameter and excavate the deepest trench of the ocean thereon, it would be a bare pin-scratch deep—about one-twentieth of an inch. ‘‘Among the sea’s unexplained mysteries are the origin and actions of storm waves, commonest of nautical phenomena. Often storm wave! travel much faster than the storm itself, meaning the storm as a whole, and sometimes they break with great force on « short-line where conditions otbwise are very quiet and serene. “There is a curious superstition, varying In various parts of the world, that every seventh, or every ninth, or every tenth wave is larger than the criet that precede it.

When it gets too hot for folks to go to church the church can now go to the people. Seven Baptist ministers of the Calumet region of northern Indiana put their heads together to solve the problem and devised this “traveling church" mounted on the? chassis of an old seven-passenger car. The motorized church has a twelve-foot belfry containing a bell. The roof, thrown back, discloses a pulpit and an organ, and amplifiers with radio equipment make it possible for a great audience to hear the entire service.

5 Earnings for 184 Companies Show Gain

New York.—A distinctly better trend in earnings as second-quarter reports continue to appear is noted by Moody’s Investors’ service in an analysis based upon results announced by IS4 large industrial companies, which show aggregate profits for the June quarter 35.6 per cent higher than in the preceding three months. The extra-sea-sonal character of this advance, the survey states, contrasts with a gain, of only 5.1 per cent for the same corporations from the first to the second quarter of 1930. Including 171 railroads ahd 46 util!-, ties which have reported on a fivemonth basis, total net of 629 companies so” the first half of this year was 44.9 per cent. “Further reduction of operating costs doubtless contributed in large measure .to improved second-quarter industrial earnings." Moody believes. “The picture is more shadowed when comparison is made with the same pe-

Dress and Jacket Comes Into Favor Among Women A short-sleeved silk dress, plus a silk jacket is a uniform that American women en masse rise up and call blessed.

We may have neglected to say that it Is smart, but we have so many times extolled the smartness of jackets. we assume you will take this for granted. Baby Thrives With Pin Lodged in His Throat El Paso. Texas.—-Gary Varmer Turner, nine-week-old baby, has an open safety pin lodged in his throat but thinks little of it. When the baby was six weeks old he swallowed the pin. For several days he was in a critical condition as doctors attempted to remove the pin. Failing in that, they allowed the baby to rest, to regain his strength, and Gary grew despite the pin in his throat. : So improved is his condition that he was discharged from the hospital and no further attempts will be made for the present to remove the obstruction.

Improved Uniform International Sunday School ’ Lesson ’ (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D. D„ Member of Faculty. Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) ((E). 1931. Western. Newspaper Union.) Lesson for September 6 TURNING TO THE GENTILES LESSON TEXT—Acts 13:13-52. GOLDEN TEXT —For so hath the Lord commanded us,Staying, I have set thee to .be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. PRIMARY TOPIC—PauI Preaching in Antioch. JUNIOR TOPIC—PauI Preaching in Antioch. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPlC—Opening a New Field. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —:A Light Unto the Gentiles. I. Paul’s Journey from Perga to Antioch (13:13-15). From this time forward Paul, who hitherto was called Saul, takes the lead. His companions were Barnabas and John Mark. ,Leaving Cyprus they sailed northward to Perga, the seaport of Pamphylia. There is no record given of preaching at Perga. 1. Defection of John Mark (v. 13). From Perga, Mark for some reason went back. He later redeemed himself, and was ready to go again when the second missionary journey was begun, but Paul would not give consent (Acts 15: to note that before Paul’s death he testified in Mark’s favor (II Tim, 4:11). 2, In the synagogue at Antioch (vv. 14, 15). From Perga, Paul and Barnabas went to Antioch in Pisidia where they entered the synagogue on. the Sabbath day. Though Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles, his order of ministry was to begin witli the Jews. ' 11. Paul Preaching in the Synagogue (vv. 16-41,). After the usual reading of the Scriptures, in response to the invitation of the rulers, Paul delivered his first recorded sermon. In its analysis we find four parts: 1. Historical (vv. 17-23). In this section .we see how Paul in a. conciliatory way led them gradually through a series of changes in which God had dealt graciously with them, finally giving them Jesus, his Son. He indicated these steps as follows: (a) God chose the fathers and exalted the people (v. 17). (b) He delivered them from Egyptian bondage and led them through the terrible wilderness (vv, 17, 18), (c) He destroyed seven nations in the I-and of Canaan and gave to Israel their lands (v. 19). (d) He gave them judges as deliverers when distressed by surrounding nations (v. 20). (e) After they had selfishly chosen a king, God rejected the dynasty of Saul and chose David, a man after his own heart (vv. 21, 22). (f) Finally it was God who from David’s seed raised up unto Israel a Savior, Jesus. This demanded proof which follows: 2. Apologetical (vv. 24-27). That this Jesus was of the seed of David and therefore the promised Messiah he proves by three lines of argument: (a) The testimony of John the Baptist (vv. 24, 25). (b) The prophecies of Scripture fulfilled in their rejection and crucifixion of Jesus (vv. 26-29). (c) His resurrection from the dead (vv. 30-37). Several passages of Scripture were cited as being fulfilled in the resurrection by. means of which he was declared to be the Son of God with power. Having proved Jesus to be the seed of Dftvid. lie proceeded to set down the doctrinal teachings growing out of it. 3. Doctrinal (vv. 38, 39). The great doctrine derived from this proof is justification by faith —the very marrow of the gospel. Observe: a. The ground of justification is the finished work of Jesus Christ. He took our place as a sinner that we might become sons (II Cor. 5:21). b. Who are justified? Those who believe in him. c. From what is one justified? Ail sins. The one who believes in Jesus is freely forgiven all sins. 4. Practical (vv. 40, 41). The application of this sermon was a warning lest the judgment spoken of by Habakkuk should fall upon them. 111. The Effect of the Sermon (vv. 42-52). 1. Many of the Jews and proselytes requested to hear these words again (vv. 42-49). Almost the whole city came to hear the Word of God the next Sabbath. This great crowd incited the jealousy of the Jews. 2. Open opposition (yv. 50, 51). The persecution became so violent that Paul and Barnabas were expelled from the city. This persecution was answered by Paul’s rejection of them and his turning to the Gentiles. 3. The disciples filled with Joy and with the Holy Ghost (v. 52). In spite of the bitter experiences occasioned by this opposition, they were filled with joy.~ Lore Is Firm Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is abov« its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility. for it thinks ail things lawful for itself and all things possible. It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it completes many things and warrants them to take effect where he who does not love would lie down. —Thomas a Kempis. Jesus Died for All The gospel of the grace of God. This is the good news that Jesus Christ, the rejected king, has died on the cross for the sins of the world, that he was raised from the dead for our justification, and that by him all that believe are justified from all things.—C. I. Scofield. Day Without Prayer, Failure A prayless day never can be anything but a day of loss and failure. It may not seem so. But, however bright and happy a day may seem to be, if it lacks heaven’s benediction it la a sad day.-—J. B. Miller.

STAGE COACH . - TALES ii :By E. C. TAYLOR ;! The Idol of Stage Coach Day* REDDLNG BUNTING, “Red’’ to everyone, was more widely knowa and had more friends than any other driver on the old National road. His entire service was the “Old Line,” the National Road Stage company that did the largest share of the business along the famous highway of a century ago. “Red” Bunting was 6 feet 3 inches tall in his stocking feet, and was straight as an arrow. He was of a reddish complexion, his features prominent and striking, his voice deep ant) sonorous. But he was not loquacious, and had a habit of munching. He was endowed with strong common sense — • the term “horse sense” originated. among the "Pike boys” of the National road and was applied to him—and he was affable, convivial and companionable.: This idol of boys and men alike along the National road was born in Fayette county, Pg. He was not only a famous driver, but also was a trusted stage agent, stage proprietor and. tavern keepbr. He once owned the Central hotel in Uniontown, Pa., Md probably would have died a rich man had he not been a vicitm of despondency ami depression when the railroads supplanted the old east-west highway. During the Presidency of Martin Van Buren, it was deemed desirable by the administration leaders in Washington that one of the President’s messages be spread speedily before the people of the country. Arrangements were made with the Stockton line to carry the message westward, as the Baltimore & Ohio railroad was not then in operation west of Frederick, Md. Bunting, as agent for tlie stage coach-linfe, went to Frederick to receive the message and convey it to’ Wheeling, W. Va. “Red” sat beside the relay of drivers the entire distance, 222 miles, although he did not handle the reins himself. The\ distance was covered in 23 hours and 30 minutes. , ' Changes of teams and 1 drivers, were made at the usual relay stations. Joseph Woolley drove the coach from Farmington to Uniontown, making sparks fly as the coach Speeded down the long western slope Os Laurel hill. Homer Westover drove from Uniontown to Brownsville, Pa., a distance of 12 miles, in 44 minutes. Mail coaches in those days carried only three passengers; There was spirited bidding for the privilege of riding in the coaches directed by Bunting'oh this record ride. That was before they started. Two of the passengers lasted as far'as Uniontown, and the third got out at Brownsville. That speed in a lumbering stage gave them too much of a shaking up. It didn't disturb Bunting at all. This ride occurred before the telegraph wires extended west of Frederick. The Pittsburgh Gazette had arranged to get an early copy of the President’s message, and had agreed to pay Robert L. Barry and Joseph P. McClelland, employees of the National Road Stage company* SSO for speedy delivery of the message at their office* In Pittsburgh, Brownsville was the distributing point for the United States mail at the timq, and Barry and McClelland took the mail coach, the “Industry.” famous along the route, at Uniontown and rode to Brownsville on it. to obtain the message and convey it to the Pittsburgh Gazette. When the mail was opened, there was no copy of the message for the Gazette, and Barry and McClelland returned home disappointed, and the Gazette had to wait for the next mail. In 1846, after the railroad was coni-' pleted to Cumberland, Md.; “Red” Bunting drove the great mail coach from Cumberland to Wheeling that carried the message of President Polk officially proclaiming war with Mexico. He left Cumberland at 2 a. m. and reached Uniontown at .8 a. m. He breakfasted there with the passengers at his own hotel —he owned the National house at the time —and then started off again. He reached Washington, Pa., at 11 a. m., and Wheeling at 2 p. m. He made the 131 miles in 12 hours. “Red” was a firm friertd and staunch admirer of Henry, Clay, "father” of the National road, a and Clay often stopped for days nt “Red’s” hotel In Uniontown. Bunting named one of his sons after the great Kentuckian. (©. 1931. Western Newsnaner Union,) Jewish Surname* The American Hebrew says that Jewish surnames date only from 1812, when Hardenburg, the Austrian, devised a specious and Ingenious form of tyranny by which .to afflict the Jews. Since they had never had surnames and had preferred to remain without them in the thousands of years of their existence, Hardenburg saw a new means whereby to Infiict discomfort upon the Jews. “-Ip this wholesale naming the two most common sources of names were the Bible and the occupation of the person.
