Husband Strength When Lost in Woods Tenderfoot Rushes Around in Mad Circles Resulting in Exhaustion An article In this month's American Forests discusses what to do when you get lost In the woods. No one who has ever had that experience la likely to forget It. If you keep your head, It Is often alarming enough; If you lose It, the- result may be terrifying and disastrous. A tenderfoot lost In the wilderness has symptoms as certain and sequential as those of measles or mumps. He seta out resolutely In what he thinks Is the right direction. As the sun sinks lower he grows anxi- ous and accelerates his pace. Soon he loses faith in his compass; thinks It simply cannot be right. Then pretty soon he begins to run: The lost person sets a pace that no human body even In the best of health can long withstand. He climbs over fallen trees and rocks that might easily be walked around with less la- jor. He plunges through brush that snly a little reflection on his part would lead him to avoid. He climbs hills and slides down valleys. He en- ters impassable swamps and in the tangled underbrush and windfalls falls he exacts his last ounce of energy. Every summer this happens to hun- dreds of men and women. Sometimes , a rescue party finds one of them al- Silent Glider Flies Successfully Over Berlin Berlin. Th^re was a time when people used to rush out onto their balconies, lean out of their windows j and crane their neck* 1.: the street to watch an airplane go by. To-day, writes a correspondent of The Chris- tian Science Monitor, many set their watches when they hear one. of the dally air-traffic planes pass over their homes, with such regularity do air- planes fly over great cities nowadays. It was, therefore, som .w'.at astonish- t ing to see a group o{ people at a busy street corner in Berlin staring up in- to the sky watching with intense In- terest a small monoplane. Looking a : little closer, one discovered that the [ slender wings of this aircraft were al- j most transparent. There was nothing | of the massivenesd of the ordinary air- : traffic plane about them. And, before I one knew it,- one had become an in- 1 terested observer. For this was not , the plane to Munich, or London, or ; Copenhagen, but an engineless plane, ; China "Takes Up" Miniature Golf a modern sensitive glider or "sail plane." as the Germans call it. One ! recalled that Otto Fucha, a well-known | German glider pilot, was carrying out j experimental flights over Berlin by I Invitation of the Aero Club of Ger- j many, testing "sail-flying" conditions j over the German capital. The charac- 1 teristic feature of this kind of flying! is its noiaelesaness.. It is so noise-leas, I in fact, that a passen^r could read! aloud to the pilot, it U said, and it of- 1 ten happens that "sail fliers" converse with, people down on the ground. So over towns.

Th* sudden appearance of four miniature golf courses in this an- cient capital is one superficial evidence of a growing taste for "Western" amusements that has developed with increasing momentum during the past year. This tasta has been apparent in Shanghai for years, but Northern Chinese hive clung more steadfastly to traditional amusements. Two of these "midget golf" courses hava Invaded former imperial gardens of Manchu Emperors, one In the Pel Hai (North Sea Palace) and the other in Chungshati Park, named after the late Sun Yat-sen. A third has been constructed In the second story of the greatest Chinese bazaar In the city. When Marshal Chang Hseuh-liang took up miniature golf the, success of the experiments was assured. Chinese night clubs have swept Peip- ing during the past six months. One enterprises Chinese brought several Chinese "dancing partners" from Shanghai last Winter and opened a night club on Shanghai models. The girls understood Western dancing and undertook to teach* clients for a small fee. Tha place was an Immediate suc- cess, and within a few weeks six others had been opened. All ar ap- parent tinancial successes. Manchur- ian officers and officials contribute much of the business. Habitues of these night clubs are models of deportment. They treat the dancing partners with great respect, seldom drink too much and leanr to dance with great earnestness. Many Chinese girU of respectable family at- tend these places and vie with the men in seeking instruction from the professional Instructresses. In fact, the- night clubs seem to be dancing schools rather than places of enter- tainment. Peiping has been the stronghold of traditional Chinese drama for genera- tions. Most of the leading actors and actresses of the old school have their headquarters here, and the classical drama has been supported through re- cent lean years. Now the talking pic- tures threatens the native drama. Three talking-pictare theatres have been established in Peiping during the past year and have become immediate- ly popular with Chinese, with English as the ?poken language, but Chinese who cannot understand English ap- pear to enjoy them none the less. Musical pictures are especially popu- lar. "Talkies" are definitely mora popu- lar than silent pictures, but several theatres still show silent pictures with success.

Recently Miss Stoughton has been appointed on the staff of a forestry experiment station in tha Ap- palachian district, her rank being that of "Junior Forester."

INTRODUCTION The Church in Jer- usalem was enjoyit-g remarkable pros- perity. The high priest himself ad- mitted (5: 28; that Jerusalem was filled with the doctrine. Many, even the priests, had joined it. They could do this without breaking with Judaism because the Church was still Judaism plus something. Only one man saw that this something could not be added to Judaism as it stood. That man was Stephen. It was on his se- couct that the crisis arose which made history ior the Church. I. THE FIRST CHRISTIAN MARTYR. Acts T: 54-60; 26: 9-11. Stephen, the deacon, was cWsuned for a greater eminence. As Dr. Whyte says, he was a young man of such original .fenius and of such special ,2T3ce that there was nothing he coold not have attained to had he been al- lowed to live. His mind was free from the prejudices and superstitions of his day. He saw what the others had not seen that Christianity must be freed from Judaistic legalism. His fellow-Hellenists were quick to see where his teachings must end. They decided that a man so dangerous to things as they wre must be sil- enced. People who want to be com- fortable a'.wayj want to silence the man who has a disturbing gospel. Ste- phen was soon haled before the San- hv.drin. Stephen's earthly day of wprk was soon done, bat in his dying he set on foot a greater movement than yet had been. A young Pharisee had seen Stephen murdered. He had held the cloaks of those who had stoned him. The calm- ness and courage of the dying man had made an indelible impression upon him. Long after, when Saul had found for UBssstf :he secret of .hat courage, he cortinued to accuse him- self bitterly for his own part in it, and in the subsequent persecutions. 26: 9-11. II. CHRISTIANITY SAVED, S: 1-4. Robert Louis Stevenson, tortured wth sciatica, almost dead from a des- perate haemorrhage threatened with permanent blindness, could say that things had fallen out for "the best. Looking hatok, we can say the same of the persecutions which followed unon the death of Stephen. Saul's harry- ing saved Christianity. The believers, well-equipped for carrying out thet Lord's command (1: 3), were staying comfortably in Jerusalem. The local Church was flourishing crowded con- gregations largw collections- many additions to the membership but with no missionary enterprise. Such a Church dies spiritually. Saul's per- secutions soon shattered its security. Th a believers fled from the city and were scattered abroad. The apostles, siirr. :ncantly enough, remained in Jer- usalem. Lacking Stephen's clear In- sight, they had not yet aptaironiied Judaism. Possibly, oo, the Hellen- istic side of the Church had been more u-_ -jive and therefore bore the brunt of the attack. The persecution forced upon the minds of those who fled and those who remained that loyalty to the spirit of Jesus would carry them much further than they had yet gone. But where? t III.

Master Ridley, ar.d play the man: we shall this Jay light such a i ndle by God's grrace in England as (I trust) shall never be put out." So Stephen could have said. The perse- cutions scattered the believers abroad. The word scattered abroad means to be sown abroad.
