Devil SHIPS" IN WAfARE
Fighting That is Being Brought
Into Use Today.

1t was reported that devil ships
were used in modern warfare. These
devil ships" are another of those an
cient ways of fighting Of which so
many, like mortars and hand grenades.
have been revived in the fighting on
the continent.
\ devil ship" is ship that has
been filled with explosives which dis
charge either by means of a fuse, or
clockwOrk, or when the ship hits an
other ship or obstacle. They were EN-
ployed as long ago as 1885 by the
Dutch, when the prince Of Parma be
sieged Antwerp. In those days they
were sent down the river TO explode
against wooden bridge built by the
defenders of Belgium's most important
city. The devil ships" used by the
Germans were exploded by means Of
clockwork.
They mustn't be mixed up with fire
ships, also used by the German sol
diers. These ships are usually filled
with dry wood smOthered in pitch, oil,
and other infiammable material, and
when fired are sent drifting against
any defense work or ships Of the
enemy.

1.-The end of the summer vacation.
Compare these ideas with that sug-
gested by Zechariah. Isaiah and David,
and determine to make the rally in your
chapter meet the scripturaI standard.
Be sure that the vision of the great
task is clear. as it was to Isaiah; en-
phasize the necessity of absolute faith
in the ultimate victory through Gods
power: lay practical plans for the full
f1llment of the chapters specific part of
the great task, and rouse the enthusi-
asm OF the members to conservation
to Him for this definite service.
The big problem Is. of course, to de-
termine what is the chapters specific
task and plan how to meet it. Many a
chapter fails of its purpose because
Of not having a definite constructive
plan for its work. Leagues. like many
other organizations, are prone to over
look the fact that General Results
never commands a victorious army. A
survey of the situation will reveal the
opportunities and resources of the
chapter, and study, prayer and counsel
will provide plans for applying the
latter to the former. This is the task,

President of W shin gton District Epworth League.
Lead on, King Eternal, the day Of march has
come;
Henceforth in fields Of contest Thy tents shall be
our home.
Through days of preparation Thy grace has made
strong,
And now, . King Eternal we lift our battle
song.
The term rally" is used SO indiscrim-
inately and with such a wide variety
of meanings that the very indefinite
ness of the term has often caused. or
at least contributed to the failure Of
tho purpose for which the rally was
held, and IT will be worth while in con-
sidering Rally day to get a definite idea
of what rally is or should be.
When you were dangerously III and
then your strength was renewed 50
that you were able to make a fresh
struggle against disease. the nurse told
the doctor you had a rally. When the
home team is losing until In the last
inning enough runs are made to change
defeat into victory, the base ball fans
call 1t a splendid rally. When an army
retreating in defeat Is moved to turn
around and renew the battle with such
vigor as to make victory possible, the
historian calls it rally. When a
group Of veterans of the war get to-
gether they call their gathering rally.
Whenever a religious, political or other
public society or number of societies
want to hold a meeting for which no
other term Is broad enough or indef-
mite enough, this, too is called a rally.
There Is vast difference between
these. and league chapters need to be

Tnsa- considers the section of Acts
3 IT records Paurs arrest and impris-
q i.ent, leading to his journey to Rome,
i.s most important portion of the
hook in the opinion of its author. be
cause it concerns the crisis in the life
of the apostle and the church. The
events Of the period that takes up
fully one-fourth of the book of Acts
furnish an explanation not only
Of the transition of the center of
Christian activity from Jerusalem
through Antioch to Rome. but they
also reveal the nature of the cause
for which the apostle suffered arrest
and imprisonment.
Paul was fully aware as he faced
Jerusalem Of the bonds and Affections
which awaited him there" for he had
been warned OF the danger by the
Lord. The warnings OF the prophet
Agabus could not turn him from the
path of duty ito testify FULLY the Cos
pei OF the grace of God" at Jerusalem
and make an effort to win the Jews
of the religious capital for the Lord.
Ten weeks before he entered the city
to tell OF the complete triumph of the
gospel in heather lands Paul had writ
ten TO the Romans concerning the COM
ing rejection of Israel
Paul received a royal welcome from
James and the other leaders of the
Jerusalem church when he recounted
TO them the events that had taken
place during his last missionary tour.
His report covered his work in Galatia
and Phrygia. his success at Ephesus
and the victories won in Macedonia and
Greece While they rejoiced at the
results. they suggested that Paul adopt
. conservative attitude and comply
with certain requirements OF the ritual
Pau! consented to comply with the
advice of the officials of the Jewish fac
Zion OF the mother church. hoping that
by so doing he might prove the false
ness Of the charges that had been
spread abroad concerning his attitude
toward the law of Moses. Paul had
tried in every place to lead the Jews to
have a personal faith in Christ Jesus.
and he had taught them that salvation
was by grace, not by works of the
law: but he had not gone about de-
nouncfng Moses or teaching that Jews
ought not to regard Jewish rites. On
he contrary. he had observed a require
'nent of their rites In his circumcizing
Timothy. and again In shaving his head
in Cenchreae because of a vow. but he
had not observed them In any sense
necessary to salvation.
When Paul went to the temple and
identified himself with the four poor
members of the Jerusalem church and
assumed the debts contracted by them
in Offering the sacrifices ordained by
the law the apostle did II in good faith.
He had hopes Of winning some Of the
jerusalem church to favor missions.
and also win some OF his Jewish friends
for Christ. Grace had made Paul a
missionary, but when he complied with
the law he became prisoner. The. law

very sure they have the right kind of a
rally tomorrow.
The Scripture references suggest the
four elements necessary to the success
full rally. Zechariah and Isaiah were
the men of vision, and they foresaw the
coming of the time when all men and
nations shall rally to the cause of God.
With this vision their faith in its ulti-
mate realization was strengthened and
their enthusiasm aroused. They laid
practical plans for Israel to accomplish
her part in bringing this result to pass.
In the goth Psalm David says: I'VE
will rejoice in Thy salvation, and In the
name Of our God will we set up our
banners" from which we may gather
that the conservation must be, not to
the task itself. but rather to God for
the accomplishment of this. His task.
We have. then, these elements-the vi
sion of the great task, the faith in It's
ultimate accomplishment through Gods
power. the practical plan for our part
of the task. and conservation to Him for
its fulfi1Iment.
