This light was super- natuial, coming diirect from God due to the immediate nvanifesttation of J-asus who row came to caM his new servant. This was therefore, not merely a fiction of tha imraigination, a subjective vision; but a real appear- ance of the glorified Christ. Thera are four such appearances in the New Testament. The first was during th'a life of esus on earth on the Maunt of Transfiguration. One can,- to Stephen," one to John at Palmes, and th'-s \^ the fourth. In his subsequent life Paul often spoke of thia manifes- tation made to him, and among the oth'er claims made by him of his apos- tolic standing is that he had' su?n the Lord. V. 7. Heard a voice. There are sliffht differences in the three narra- tivc* a-s given in Acts 9:1-19; 22:0-lC; 2<>: 12-18, but Ihrae can bs explained without much difficulty. Saul dis- tinctly hears his name calted in the Hebi*w tongue, and th» qu.?.silion that foUlows is a direct and searching one: "Why persecutest thou n-j??" His at- tack on the.'^e members of his church is an attack on Christ who is now clothod in heavenly glory. In the other narratives the woriin are added, "It is Iwird for tho? to kick against the goad," as if Paul's mind was not at eas^e. He could not take real joy in inflicting such ruin, white the patient en-durance of the converts must have safety and then three children. returned to rescue Eleven Coaches Represent Remnant of National Pastime of Yore Ijondon. â€" Memories of a century ago were vividly brought to the atten- tion of those Londoners who were for- tunate enough to viait Hyde Park on a recent sunshiny June morning to see the annual first meet of the Coaching Club.

While he labors for an earthly kingdom, Prime Minister Baldwin has not forgotten the Kingdom of Ood on earth, and bis declaration of sublime faith In the Bible as a "high explosive" which has helped "ind will ' help again to bring great revivals is a wotness that the Book is not with- out friends In high places. Mr. Bald- win was addressing the recent annual meeting of the British and Foreign Bible Society in London when he gave voice to the faith that Is In him. Speaking of the ''universal appeal to mankind of the personality of our Lord," which, he says, must come to every one who reads the Bible, be i went on, as the London Times quotes him: Bees and Bee Books Most bee-IoTsrs will agre* that tli*! charm of the old bee books Is laiigaljri owing to their romantic flavor and thtf picturesque classics and medleral !>•• Uefs therein contained about the wis* little creatures we are still so far from understanding. Until well-nigh th* close of the seventeenth centum th* masterpieces of those great bee-loren â€" Aristotle, Virgil and Pliny â€" were studied as practical handbooks, and the exquisite poetic fancies of th* older Orecian writers which enrich tha\ fourth book of the "Oeorgics" wer* accepted without uestion by our old bee masters. But the greatest charm of the Elizabethan and Stuart hooka la surely the love of bees which shlnaa through their pages and the wrltera'i dellgst In the mystery and glamor of one of the most ancient crafts undef the sun. The rarest of the old English bea books is Hyll's slender little volume, "A profitable instruction of the perflta ordering of Bees," which was first published in 1572 with hla "Profitable arte of gardening." It was published separately in 1579, and In this form is a very rare book. Edmund South- erne's "Treatise concerning the right use and ordering of Bees" (1594) la almost equally rare and a far more In- teresting book, in that it la an original work, whereas Hyll'a is mainly a com- ipUation from the classical writers. The most fascinating of the earlier bee books, however, la undoubtedly Charles Butler's "Feminine Mon- archle; or a Treatise concerning Bees and the due ordering of them. Where- in the truth found out by experience and diligent obserration discovereth the idle and fond concelpts which many have written anent this subject" (1609). . . .
