PAUL'S VOYAGE AND SF1TPWRECK.
XVII, 1926.
BY j. e. GILBERT, D, D., IL, D.,
Secretary of American Society of Religious Education

1NTRODUCTlON.-IIa appealed to
Caesar Paul must go to Rome In COM
pany with other prisoners he was deliv-
cred to a centurion and embarked on a
merchantmen. Luke, the historian of
apostolic times, ard Arstarchus, a Mace
donian tActs xix, 2O, accompanied him,
as passengers. The voyage began pros
perousiy. Sailing northward along the
coast they touched at Myra, a port of
l.yCia in Asia Minor, where they took
passage on Il vessel loaded with wheat
ana bound for Italy. After leaving that
port they encountered heavy winds and
were beaten back and forth for several
days, Obliged at last to put into r'ar
Havens a hGrbor on the south side of the
Island of crete. AS the season was far
advanced, IL consultation was held in
which Paul participated, to decide wheth-
er they should winter in these parts.
CHEERFUL. - A considerable town,
named Phoenix, fifty miles to the west
ward on the island, was deemed more
favorable for both soldiers and sailors.
Its harbOr was COmmodiOUs, affordng CX-
Cc.lent shelter for vessels in all weather,
"a familiar resort for Alcxandrian corn
ships. DisrcTarding paul's warning
(vCrsc 1W. 1t was decided to proceed thith-
er a south wind sprang up (vcrso 10 re-
garded by many as a favorable omen.
Weighing anchor and hosting the great
main-sail they passed out Of Fair Havcns
into the sea. Thence they sailed along
the shore for several miles tn Cape Mat
ala, then tackled. and the vessels prov
was turned proudly toward the proposed
haven. Every heart on board was
cheered by the delightful prospect, expect
ing in a few hours to cast anchor in Port
Phoenix.
HELpLESS.--Alas, for human plans
and hopes! The gentle breathing of the
south wind i'm the sails and cordage was
but a siren song Turing on to destruction.
As the vessel passed the hcad-lanl and
looked out to sea she was truck by
tCmpCstuous typhoon common in those
attitudes. MARK iv, 80. A little distance
from the shore was a range of high hills,
a breeding place for storms. (Nerse 10.

the preceding heat. In the third heat
a new factor in the race was developed
i'm Brown George, who was driven by
her owner in the first two heats and
finished last each time. He was driven
by the elder Cook in the final heat
and with Nero made a pretty finish,
Brown George winning by only a half
length.

RAVENS ATTEMPT.
Although Raven did not come within
two and a half seconds of Ella rs
track record of 2.15, the performance of
the black PAGER yesterday was credit
able, considering that she was un
paced and that the wind and tempera-
ture We're anything but favorable to
speed. She was warmed up for mile
early i'm the afternoon and later, just
before she made her attempt, was sent
half mile at a thirty clip.
Ravens owner, DR.. J. l., Wcntz, was
driving, and after scoring once nodded
fer the word. She went at a good
level gait and made the first quarter in
35la, the half i'm 1.1O, the thrcc-quar-
ters in I45l4, and the distance in 2,17ia.
There were to have been three trials,
hut on account of the cold, further at

quarter was made i'm 32ii seconds.

The second and final days racing at
the Driving Park yesterday afternoon
suffered in more ways than one from
the severe cold weather. The low tenn
pcrature not only kept the enthusiasts
away but it also prevented fast time
in any of the classes and sent Raven
off the track after she had made one
unsuccessful effort to reduce the track
record. Less than 300 persons saw the
sport
Beauty won the 2.35 event in three
straight heats. Her best time was 2.36.
The 215 pace fell to Molly Barron. Her
time. in the second heat, 2.22i4, was
the fastest of the day, although nearly
equalled by Maud l. i'm the first heat.
L. \. Patterson, Of Carbundalc. won
the team race with Kit Cloud and Mel

driven by Fred Cook won tn. gentle

2.35 CLASS.
Doras. r. m. and ST. Nick, h. g.,
were scratched i'm the 2.3j class and
only three horses were sent to the post,
Walter j., Marie and Beauty. The
first two made several bad breaks i'm
the first heat and Beauty won easily.
Beauty came within one and three
fourth second of her mark in the Sec
ond heat, which she won in 2.36 by a
head from Marie. 1t was a fight be-
tween the two all through the last
quarter. The third heat was slow
procession, Beauty winning in 23S,
with Marie second a length and Wal

officers consider a valuable historical contribution
The gift comes from Casper Schenck who was

ouencc there was eorrow fore and aft on every
ship In the Navy and the Portsmouth no ex-
ception. The waIdroom OF the old ship was steeped
in gloom. and Mr. Schenck was asked to memorial
ize the occasion in He did so, and tho whole
wardroom joined in singing the words he wrote
on the spur Of the moment This is the song:
FAREWELL 70 GRoG.
Come. messmates. pass the bottle round
Our time Is short. remember
For our groS must stop. and our spl:.ts drop
On the fist dry Of September.
Farewell. old rye. rs o sad sad word:
But, alas II must % spoken.
The ruby cup must ce given up
And the deuiijonn be broken,

And dwell with fondness partial
on the day when gin not Il SIN,

Jacks happy days will soon be gone
To return gain, al, never;
For they've raised MS pay i've cents day,
But stopped his grog forever.

But splice IL now in sorrow;
For the spir!t-room key must De laid away
