"K HILE passing daily from Ly-

of PAlippi, the mission
aries were me repeatedly by a slave
girl possessed of an evil spirit, one of
the fallen angels. The spirit, working
through her, told fortunes, gave intel
ligence of lost articles, Of future events,
etc. Evidently she was well known:
and the exercise of her profession
brought a large income to a stock COM
pany of influential men who owned her.
For several days this girl followed
the missionaries, shouting. These be
the servants of the Most High God,
which show unto us the way of saliva
toni" Of course, the girl did not know
st. Paul and his companions; but the
evil spirits did. The Apostle was
grieved as daily this testimony was
given by the girl; for he knew that the
evil spirit prompting it would have no
respect for the Truth. A fallen angel
that had respect for God and for the
principles of righteousness would not
seek to obsess humanity when it knew
that such obsession would be to their
injury and was contrary to Gods will.
st. Paul said not a word to the girl,
assuming that she was not account
able. He addressed the spirit as such,
commanding it in the name of Jesus to
come out of her-just as our Lord and
the Apostles, under His instruction,
had frequently cast out evil spirits

ried before the rul-

dictate ignored the truth of the matter,
and claimed that the missionaries were
teaching a religion contrary to the
laws of Rome and likely to raise sedi-
ton. This was untrue; for the Lords
servants went, according to law, out
side the city gates for their worship.
The false charge brought upon the
missionaries the severest penalties
which their judges could infict. The
magistrates rent their garments as in
dicative of their distress that such a
disturbance had occurred, and then or

Chewing Up Our Navy.

Recently little girl, named Mar
jorie Sterrett. started something by
sending Uncle Sam a dime to help
build battleship.
The story was published and the
next morning the dimes began to
roll in.
Your Uncle Samuel was some
what embarrassed by not having
any law under which the money
could be accepted and directed Sec
rotary Daniels to return the dimes.
The idea had gotten loose and
couldn't be stopped. The Chicago
Tribune took it up and other pa
pers all over the country are boost
ing it and an organization has been
formed to handle the fund.
Now it is said that if the chewing
gum girls will lay off the habit for
awhile and put the money into the
ship it will be built in a short time.
The chewing gum habit in the
past ten years has cost ten times
as much as we paid for Alaska.
In other words the annual erist
of the beautiful maxiliary muscles
totals $3,5OOOOO.

which could be used for navy

Origin of tho Word Christmas.

The word Christmas is of compars, lively late origin The word was first used in 1O3S. it's form then being Christes- Maesse. the mass or Christ. Orjgen, an early father of the church, said that in the Scriptures it was the sinners alone. not the saints, whc cele- brated their birthdays. Another early writer referred tO the fact that the birthdays of the pagan gods were kept by the people. The very first evidence of a feast having been held in honor of the birth Of Christ was in Egypt about the year 900. Clement of Alex andria said. Certain Egyptian theo!o gians ovcrcuriousiy assign not thc year alone. but the day of Chrisi's birth placing it on May 2J." Another date assianed to the event was March 2S

ANCIENT YULETIDE CUSTOMS
The Druids and Romans Both Used
 Ever green Decorations.

The Druids and Romans Both Used
 Evergreen Decorations.
 The use of evergreens at Christmas comes from the Romans. who thus or namented their temples during the feast of Saturn. while ivy was univer sally used in feasts in honor of Bac- chus. The ancient Druids hung green branches and mistletoe over their doors as d prOPitiation to woodland sprites; they used also to cut green trees and carry them into their houses to protect the spirits of the forest and streams from tke death dealing winds thinking the spirits, thus protected would go forth in the spring to reclOthe the forests with beautiful foliage and unlock the ice bound streams.
 \ survival of this superstition was found among the English peasantry not more than 2G0 years ago They hung evergreens in their cottages in the belief that they would attract sprites and that the b9ughs would re- main unHirped by the frosts ard fur nish q shelter for the woodland deities. standard trees in the city were orig inally nailed fule os holme and ivy. shovin" tha; the external aspect of Christn,astide was public concern i- the days of our ancestors.
