It is a fair use of imagination to
picture Luke as seizing upon every
scrap of information that he could
gain from eyewitnesseS, and then,
at the end of the day, by the light
of a Pickering olive-oil lamp, writ
ing out his notes, later to be shaped
up into his two books. Remember,
he was contemporary of Jesus
and the names of the eyewitnesses
of the wonders was legion. In all
probability, Luke had seen Jesus
himself, although there is no men,
ton of his name in the gospels.
Human Interest" Stories.
Because Luke was a literary mas
ter we have, recorded only by him,
such deathless masterpieces as the
story of the good samaritan, the
parable of the prodigal son; and,
best of all, the account of the
nativity itself. My best friend,
Louis A. Holman of Boston, died
recently, leaving behind him the
fullest and most detailed collection
of Keatsiana in all the world. His
devotion to Keats had engrossed
him for many years; and, day by
day, with patient research, he added
to his precious store. SO it was, I
think, with Luke he was always in
quest of information about Jesus
Christ.
/ There seems to have been none
Of the famous instability of the
Greeks about Luke. He began one
work Of service to Christ and con-
tinued it modestly and steadfastly
TO the end. He does not mention
his own name in either his gospel
or the Acts.
We may, however, trace his ex-
periences with Paul in the we"
passages, which begin in the 18th
chapter of Acts. Thenceforth Luke
shared the adventures and expert
ences of the great missionary apos-
tie. He even went with him to
prison in Caesarea and in Rome
Paul mentions him tenderly three
times in his epistles philemon, i23
"a; Colossians, iv14; II Timothy,
iv.10. IL. We can only surmise
what tender, healing care he gave
to Gods great adventurer, who
called him the beloved physician" "
During Paul's prison experiences in
Rome apparently his other helpers
left the apostle, for one reason or
another. so that in his last letter,
written to Timothy. he says, only
Luke is with me"
Glorious Luke, who stood by to
the end! He had abandoned his
own career. and the chances for a
brilliant practice, that he might
devote himself to Christs cause and
to Christ's man. For that decision
the church in all the world through
out the ages is grateful.
We who are only common people.
with our rough and simple ways
and unseeing eyes, are grateful for
such sensitive interpretations of his
tory and of truth as the Greek
physician Luke gave. Because his
character and his profession made
special appeal to her, Mary opened
the secrets of a woman's heart to
him. How delicately he tells the
tale OF Mary and Elizabeth. and of
the annunciation to the girl in the
village of Nazareth, and of the
wonders Of the birth in the Bethle-
hem inn! Because Luke knew Mary.
we know, in the fullness of its
beauty and significance, the story
Of the nativity.

Yet air observation from the high

of war remains as far from con-
elusive settlement as ever.
Obviously, if the British admir-
atty had included all its wounded
as well as it's died-in-action ships
in the casualty list, it might be pos
sible to discern a greater impact
of this war on the air versus sea-
power controversy. Both Germany
and Italy have doomed frequent Of
fetal claims of successful bombing
of British naval units, big and lit
tie. The admiralty's u7ual reply,
when hits on battleships or heavy
cruisers could not be denied, has
been that the fighting efficiency
of the ship was not impaired. Just
what that means, nobody but the
admiralty knows.
Some early German-claimed sue
cesses in air attack against British
~battleships and air carriers proved
by more than London denial to be
utterly wrong. Ships claimed tc
have been sunk or put out of action
for many months h bobbed
back into the war news within
days or weeks.
The biggest b~attlewagon of them
all, the Hood, is one example, al
though Rome has again claimed
extensive air damage to her. The
carrier Ark Royal is another. So
far as the world knows she is still.
doing business, although once
stricken off the British navy list by
Berlin as bomb-blasted to Davy
Jones' locker.
In any event, these months of
sea-air war test for which every
naval power has long waited to
guide it's own future defense plan
ming have swept by without fur
nishing the experts much new to
chew upon. 1t is still a moot ques-
ton, and the building of bigger
and better battleships continues.
even in Germany and Italy.
Regarding the frequent official
reports OF air damage inflicted on
surface craft, there is this to be
noted:
Such reports, exec: in cases
where the scene of ction was with
in sight of land, as in Dover straits
for example, stem frft usually
from tn. air crews participating in
the attacks. There seeln- no doubt
