glad TO see you and TO be welcomed
back. home, but what's it all about?
I'm not a novelist, or politician, or
ar English nobleman. You can't get
headlines out Of me-
Not so sure that we mightn't, sir :"
Tarleton replied cheerfullx. We
thought, as we all arrived in a bunch
we'd better wait and see whether you
had any preference as to which sec.
ton of the press you talked TO. II you
haven't, you can give 1t to US all to-

differently"
Grant protested. I'D just as soon
talk to you all together as singiy. In
fact, I'd rather. 1t saves time. But
what do you want me TO talk ,sbout?"

Tarleton suggested. Some hurricane
you struck, eh?'
We ran into a terrible storm about
two days out of Gibraltar" Grant told
them. The Grey Lady behaved mag
nificently.. Capt. Martin and every one
of my officers really deserve a word of
praise. We didn't even lose a boat,
and. as you know, some Of the big
liners got badly knocked about"
That's interesting" Tarleten ad-
mltted. making a few notes. There's
just one other little thing about the
voyage. Mr.. Slattery."
Go ahead" Grant invited.
The three men looked at one an
other. Tarleton appeared to be almost
embar IRA ssed-an unusual situation for
newspaper man. Grant, who had
pushed a box Of cigars across the ia
bic, lit a cigarette and threw himself
into an easy chair.
There have been some rumors go
ing around" Tarleton said at last,
about a romantic stowaway."
Really" Grant remarked. Il
haven't heard of them. What sort of
stowawaY?'
"A lady" Booker interposed. taking
up his share OF the burden. "A lady

DO You mean TO suggest that the
Princess Won Diss was a passenger On

THE LESSON OF FAILURE
By Rev k. N. Gilman

Luke b:5 And Simon answered and said, Master, we toiled all night and took nothing: but at Thy word will let down the nets."
 Peter, James and John were fishermen by trade. On this oc- casion they had tlsherman's ill luck. They had iLshed all night on the lake of Galllee and had taken nothing. In the cool gray dawn of the morning after they felt they were miserable failures,
 But it was just at this time that Jesus came along. When they were down and out In their luck they heard Him saying.
 Launch out into the deep.' Just when they were washing their nets and despondently giving up they heard the call to try again.
 That is always the call of Christ. As long as man is self satisfied and self-content his ears are deaf to any higher call of God. It is when he 'gets to the end of his rope" that he realizes
 how small, weak and dependent
 he is. It is in mans extremity that he cries unto God. It is when
 man has failed in his own
 strength that he humbly seeks the source of eternal love and power.
 Have you ever thanked God for yohr failurea2 Had 1t not been for this night of bitter fail- ure it is likely that Peter, James and John would not have needed the call to follow Christ to be- come "Fishers of men," In their failure they found Him, and that His grace and power were suf- ficient for every need. Henceforth their lives were filled with the spirit of Launching out" into the work of the MasteFs kingdom Through this failure they caught the spirit of Christian adventure, which during these nineteen hundred years has been inspiring men to higher and better ways of living.
 Let us, then, thank God for every honest failure when 1t has resulted in our being drawn more closely to God and our felloWmen in higher purpose and more un- selfish endeayor!

 this meeting historic will be the ac- ton taken on the proposal to merge the nine missionary societies into
 two. This proposal is the result of a study carried on for two years by
 a committee Of 12 men and women.
 The first proposal was to merge the nine societies into four. This creat- cd SO much discussion that tho com
 mittee finally decided to recommend
 the complete merger of all foreign
 work under one board and all the homeland societies under home
 board. This report will provoke widespread discussion and will he
 hotly debated. The final action can.
 not be forecast. IT the report is adopted it will mean the merging oi societies having invested funds of
