Paul in his European experiences
was Lydia. "a seller of purple" For
Pauls earliest meetings at Philippi
were the little conferences for
prayer by the riverside where few
sodly women gathered on the Jew
ish Sabbath. Apparently. there were
not enough persons to form q syn
agogue. Small and insignificant as
this gathering was. It was the one
MISUNDERSTANDING group In Philip
pi, aud Paul identified himself with
II. Anybody who has wit enough to
understand a Sunday school lesson,
Ia tco wise to despise the day OF
small things. We have seen little
conference OF business men In New
York turn into the Laymen's Mis-
sjonary movement; and a confer
ence Of students under a Massachu-
sets haystack became the modern
enterprise of missions. The CONVEX
sion Of Lydia at Philippi stood for
a great deal.
In this day of sex consciousness
Of women II Is we'll to recall that
the first convert to Christianity In
Europe was Lydia. As DR.. Peloubet
says, christianity has made women
honored everywhere, and they In
turn have honored Christianity"
The women OF Europe and America
have come 10 I'LL the position OF
greatest faithfulness and efnciency
in the Christian church. Without
them IL would be impossible to con-
duct the Christian activities OF to-
day. The entire modern movement
of Christian womanhood may be I'M
aged In that little riverside meeting
at Philippi, where the Apostle Paul
preached his first European sermon.
The arrival OF Paul at Philfppi
launched a new force In the life OF
Europe, alongside OF which all the
armies that have landed seem
small and Insignificant. He lighted
beacon which has since shed Its
rays over the whole of the known
globe.

overrun by troops today. and the
waters between are cleft by the
PROV OF many q warship. Philippi
itself is a ruin. and the glories OF
Philip of Macedon. after whom IL
was named, are we'll nigh forgotten.
The neighboring city Of Salonika Is
a vast armed camp. Here Ia one OF
the strategic centers OF the world
war. Before these lines are printed
there may have been vast develop
ments there. The best way TO study
the war news in this part of the
earth is through the maps OF Paufs
missionary journeys.
Paul travelled from city to city.
He adventured Philippi as the most
dominating center OF Macedonia.
This missionary statesman always
proceeded on the strategy OF attack
ing the big cities. Then, as now,
news goes from city to country. En-
terprises win by city victories. And
Paul knew that he had gospel ade-
quate for the greatest cities OF
Greece and Rome. II is we'll that
the church Is newly alert to the i'm
portance of rural communities; yet
the old lesson still stands. that the
issues of the gospel war, like those
OF military conflict. are to be set
tied about the cities.
Fancy has always loved 10 play
over this dramatic journey OF Paul
from Asia to Europe. John Mcneil
says: "Just suppose that Paul and
Silas had been ordered the other
way. Then very likely Europe would
have been the India and Asia and
the Africa that now are, and away
in those lands the ministers would
be doing their best TO get their peo-
pie 10 contribute 10 foreign missions
tn evangelze the barbarians OF Eu-
rope"

The author gives a brief account
of the difference between the vari-
GUS divisions. He also believes that
the principle of the survival of the

naive claim that capitalists are a.

"THE ROUND ABOUT" by J. E
Buckrose. A story Of English life
which gives a graphic picture Of
the change in social conditions
and the status OF woman In the
last two generations.
j. f. Buckrose, who writes like
man but is a woman. has given US
another intimate picture OF English
life in THE Round About There
Is always something fresh and In
spring about Mrs. Buckrose's writ
ing Here stories are true in every
essential. but without the harrow
ing, delving, anatomical dissection
which SO many authors seem TO
think a necessary part OF convey
ing truth TO their readers. She
knows why people feel and act as
they do without Analysing their
feelings and acts with too many
words. We accept the compliment
and are grateful. There is very
little OF adventure in this story,
but Il Is an illuminating picture OF
two generations OF English people
with a hint OF the new woman of
the third Did We not know 1t to
be true, we would not believe that
such an amazing change could come
about In so short a time. We al

THE FINDING or JASPER
HOLT" by Grace Livingston
Lutx; q story Of true woman
who sees below the surface OF
things to the real nobility Of
mans soul.
Jasper Holt Is not lost In the or
binary physical sense. in fact, he
is a victim OF environment and cir
cumstance. In spite OF his wild and
lurid youth, the flame Of honor and
truth has never died within him. II
takes but the faith Of one human
being TO make him lay aside his old
life and begin anew. He Is capa-
BILE OF the most heroic and self-sac-
rificing acts, and almost loses his
life In saving a child from death.
His Ia not an overdrawn character
and the story is OF much higher
order than the average fiction put
on the market. Though without
any especial literary value, It's tone
is good and emphasizes the letter
side OF human nature.

GETTY, by Henry Otis Dwight. In.
stead Of dry recital Of statistics

romance and vital with life.
Few readers would have expect
ed so much charm and pleasure az
are TO be found In the reading OF
THE Centennial History OF the Amer
lean Bible Society" and few writer's
could have extracted so much that
Is readable from the history OF an
organisation. This seems more the
warm aud glowing story OF one OF
the most picturesque OF the worlds
events-"the lowering OF the word
of God into many languages and Its
distribution To the uttermost parts
OF the earth" The author Is en-
dowed with a simple and easy style
which lacks neither sympathy nor
humor, and seizes the dramatic
events which give Il the character
OF a romance. The story OF Samuel
Mills, knight and missionary, who
sailed down the Mississippi in Gen.
Jackson's own boat In 1912. and
made his way back through 500
miles OF canebrakes and jungles. Is
full of the widest adventures, and

The Art of Advertising is as old as
the world. Evidence of this has
come down to us in the relics
of long-vanished civilizations. We
know how advertising was demon
strated in the days of Pompeii.
Those Copymen of 1000 years ago
were masters in their way, but great
as was their skill, advertising was
denied the dignity of the Sheepskin.
This symbol of academic apprecia-
ton was never conferred upon the
craft.
Today, however Advertising has
come into its own. 1t is recog-
nized as something greater than any
Art or Science because it colors the
whole fabric of life more intimately.
1t is worldwide power for good
in spreading the gifts and benefits
of civilization among all the peoples
of the earth.
Its battles are legion. Its successes
colossal. Advertising creates; civ
ilization clarifies, estimates, applies.
Advertising is the friend of every
man, rich or poor; maker of things,
or user of what others have made.
Advertising has won its place be-

Reported to Have Fired
Cannon From Mules Back.
Rumor has it that Dexter routed
a band OF Indians in the early days
by firing a cannon from the back OF
mule. Dexter qualities the rumor
by admitting that he fired the cannon
but denying that he used the mule for
a gun platform. Yet the Jubilee COM
mlttee at Great Falls when the cele-
bration was held there two or three
years ago had Dexter lead mule in
the parade upon whose back was
mounted this identical cannon. Eight
times as the procession wound it's
way through the streets, Dexter fired
his cannon at an Indian who followed

States senate. Governor Bob Smith
had gone to California with Tom
Kinds on a mining deal. Lieutenant
Governor Spriggs was out of the
state. Senator Edwin Norris of
Beaverhead was president of the
senate and became acting governor.
The legislature had elected w. A..
Clark United States senator. His
election was contested. Suddenly
came the announcement that Sena-
tor Clark had rendered his resigna-
ton.
A vacancy was thereby created in
the United States senate. Norris, as
president of the state senate, was the
states executive head. He had the
naming of the next United States
senator from Montana. He was
just about to announce Governor
Joseph X. Toole as his appointee
when he received telegram from
Lieutenant Governor Spriggs advis-
ing him that he had returned to
Montana. This put instant end to
Acting Governor Norris tenure of Of
flee, and took from him right to ap-
point Lieutenant Governor Spriggs
arrived i'm Helena next day and ap-
pointed Mr.. Clark as United States
senator. However, this certificate of
appointment was never presented
to the senate. At the next session of
the legislature Senator Clark was
elected. 1t is interesting to note
that if the opportunity to appoint
had come to Governor Smith he
would have named Hon. Martin Ma
ginnis as senator.
Some Other Governors.
Under Governor Toole, Senator j.
p. Murray of Beaverhead county be-
came acting governor on several oc
casions, and under Governor Stewart,
Senator Dearborn of Granite county,
was on one accession acting governor.

nor w. r. Allen were called out of
the state. This made Senator l. A.
Leighton of Jefferson county, who
was president of the senate, acting
governor.
When Governor Leighton took
executive power he found on his desk
mass of applications for pardon,
from convicts in the penitentiary. He
proceeded to exercise executive elem
ency, and gave about dozen men
who were the guests IT Frank Conley
their liberty. 1t happened that
majority of those pardoned
were republicans, and some good
humored chaff was directed at
Leighton, himself republican, be-
cause of this circumstance, but the
fact remains that there are IL mer
enjoying liberty who consider him
the best governor that Montana ever
had.
An Interesting Incident.
Then there was the time when
Lieutenant Governor Spriggs ap-
pointed w. A. Clark to the United
