Glover, November 3.-Two addition
al teachers are needed badly for Clo-
ver's High school and they will likely
be employed soon, thus bringing the
faculty up to sixteen. There are six
ty-five pupils in the third grade and
the fourth grade has an enrolment al
most as large. One teacher is not
enough for sixty-five pupils, hence the
need for more teachers. According to
Superintendent Sam Reid there are a
great number Of boys and girls in Clo-
yer school this year between the ages
of 10 and II years, Il most unusual
number Of that age, and many of them
go to swell the ranks Of the third and
fourth grades.

but the use OF the word "barbsriansg sug-
gests that some strange, wild people were
living here in st. Paul's time.
1t is true that the great temple found in
Malta by Professor Themistocles zammit
is said to date back to 1000 years ago, or
2,17S years before St Paul's time. There
are evidences. however. that the temple
was in use ages later by men Of the bronze
age, who might have been the barbarians
OF st. Paurs time. This would be parallel
to the case OF Stonehenge, which was
built by prehistoric men, but is believed
10 have been in use by the Druids when
the Romans invaded Britain,
In the ancient Maltese temple there is
secret chamber behind the Oldest altar,
from which hidden priest produced mys-
terious sounds to terrify the superstitipus
worshippers. Elsewhere there Is another
chamber hidden by stone. where bones
were found, the relics OF human sacrifice.
1t appears that st. Paul, with his fiery
zeal, must have denounced these heathen
exploiters OF cruelty and superstition.
Just how the temple appeared IN st.
Paul's time cannot be determined yet. but
II is to-day in such an astonishingly good
state OF preservation that It appears prob
able Il was in actual use and we'll cared
for in the Apostles day.
The great temple at Hal Tarxien con.
slsts OF three structures OF successive per-
iods linked together and opening into one
another. The enormous blocks Of stone
OF which II ls built measure from twenty
feet to eight feet in height and are OF equal
width The existence OF such remains as
this gave rise in ancient times TO the be
lief that a race Of giants had built them.
but the natural explanation ls that q race
with surprising mechanical powers existed
before our recorded history began.
The entire temple measures 2l0 feet in
length. A distinguished archaeologist de-

yellow color and is locally known as torba.
In almost every case there was a lower
floor or torba below, testifying to the fact
that the building was in use for consid-
cradle period. Under each of these floors
numerous fragments of pottery and the
bones OF animals were discovered; but the
best specimens-including a number OF
very finely decorated pieces and several
entire vases7were naturally found at the
upper level.
I'm one Of the small chambers opening
out OF one of the main rooms there was
found, under the later floor a ring OF
stones surrounding a circular hole in the
natural rock, about / foot inches in
diameter; the round cover slab was still
in position, and when It was raised q
cavity feet deep and 3h to in
diameter, Of the shape Of a Benedictine
bottle, and almost entirely empty, was re-
vealed Tt was probably a granary, as no
traces of any device for the introduction
OF water could be seen. On one OF the
slabs which form the wall OF this room
there ls a relief of two bulls and COW;
but the few other decorated slabs that are

found in this part OF the building are prob
ably later additions.
"The remains OF the earliest sanctuary
OF all present similar characteristics to
those Of the second period, We see the
same massive construction and an entire
absence Of decoration"
Very singular are the types OF figures
shown In statues Of gods, goddesses and
other persons in the temples. This type
is particularly we'll displayed in group
OF FIVE figures at Hagiar Kim. These ig-
ures have enormously fat and rounded
busts, bodies and hips, while their ex.
tremties taper away to almost nothing.
This evidently was an ideal type OF
beauty" at this remote period OF human
history These primitive men had no use
for the skinny "fspper' type, which lie so
much.admired at the present moment, and
II seems that their views must have pre-
vailed for thousands of years, compared
to which the present epoch Is a passing
phase.
Many small relics of great interest have
been found In Malta, giving an insight
into various ages from the time of the
building of the great temple down to the
days of the enterprising Phoenicians.
There are human bones, teeth and a sling

The island Of Malta is called 'Melta,"
Its old Latin name, in the Acts of the
Apostles, We are told in that book that
st. Paul was accused of sedition by the
Pharisees at Jerusalem and brought be-
fore King Agripps. St Paul as a Roman
citizen, appealed TO the Roman Emperor
and after long examination was sent by
ship to Rome.
The ship ran into terrible storms and
reached a place in Crete where st. Paul
advised they should spend the Winter. but
his advice was disregarded and after drift
ing aimlessly for fourteen days they we're
wrecked on the coast of Malta. Concern
ing this event the Bible says:
"And when they escaped then they
knew that the island was called Melita.
And the barbarous people showed us
no little kindness: for they kindled hre,

Some OF the blocks are decorated with a

I'm one place we see the lower portion

present rain, and because OF the cold.
And when Paul had gathered a bundle
Of sticks. and laid them on the FIRE, there
came a viper out of the heat, and fastened
on his hand.
And when the barbarians saw the ven
omous beast hang on his hand, they said
among themselves, No doubt this man is
murderer, whom, though he hath escaped
the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to
live.
And he shook of the beast into the
FIRE, and felt no harm
"Howbeit they looked when he should
have swollen, OF fallen down dead sud-
denly: but after they had looked a great
while, and saw no harm come to him, they
changed their minds, and said that he was
a god"
or course, St. Paul would not allow the
barbarians to worship him as a god, and
he must have seized this favorable uppor-
tunity TO convert the islanders to the now
religion OF which he was the apostle.
This would have brought him in conflict
with the heather priests OF Hal-Tarxien
with their bogus oracle. They were per.
haps losing their prestige at this compare
lively late date.
st. Paul followed up this event by per-
Forming many miracles and winning the
confidence Of the barbarians. The chief
man of the island was one Publius, whose
father happened to be suffering from a
deadly fever st. Paul cured the father
by praying and laying on OF hands After
this miracle the book OF the Acts tells us:
80 when this was done, others also,
which had diseases in the island, came,
and were healed"
st. Paul remained three months on the
island. and, the Winter being over, the
Roman officer in charge Of the party
secured another ship and conveyed the
Apostle and his fellow prisoners to Rome.
At the end Of his stay st. Paul, as appears
from the Acts had won the confidence OF
most OF those on the island, and perhaps
converted many OF them. for II is stated
he was loaded with honors and received
such things as were necessary

X TEW information concerning the life
N of the great Apostle st. Paul is
likely to result from very Interest,"
ing recent archaeological discoveries on
the island Of Malta.
Professor Themistocles Zammit has dis
covered a vast prehistoric temple at Hal
Tarxien, near the coast OF Malta, and
other remains scattered about the island.
These must be the very stones which
we're trodden by the feet of the great
Apostle, which witnessed his defiance of
the heather priests, the many miracles
performed by him on the island and many
other important events OF sacred history,
concerning which Biblical scholars are
looking for more complete information.
Malta is the Mediterranean island on
which st. Paul, the great Apostle to the
gentiles, was shipwrecked at critical
period OF his career. It was here that he
lived for three months It was here that
he performed many miracles and made
many Christian converts. His stay on
this island played very important part
in ST. Paul's life, which in turn was of the
first importance in establishing Christian.
ity throughout Europe.
St. Psul's sojourn OF three months on
the island must have been filled with very
interesting events about which we know
little. The mention Of these events in
the Acts OF the Apostles, the principal
source from which we can obtain infor-
nation about them, is very brief, perhaps
because OF the more important occur
rences that we're about to happen.
But we do learn from the Bible that the
island was inhabited by Wild ''barbarians,"
that st. Paul was stung there by a deadly
viper and that the barbsrians seeing that
he did not die suddenly looked upon him
as a god.
II might have been supposed that Malta,
being so near to Italy, was entirely In
habited by Romans OF the civilized type.
