YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC Paul’s Power Over Men. I. A Stormy Voyage (vv. 1-20). 1. The ship. A ship of Alexandria sailing from Myra to Italy. 2. The company. Two of Paul’s friends, Aristarchus and Luke, ure permitted to go with him. Besides these three there were 273 In the ship (V. 7). 3. The storm. The ship made little headway on account of unfavorable winds. Paul advised that they winter in Fair Havens (vv. !»-12), but bis ad vice was unheeded. The gentle south wind deceived them, so they loosed * from Crete, only to he soon overtaken by tiie tempestuous wind, called Eu roclydon. They did everything pos sible to save the ship. They took up the boat which was towed behind; they bound great cables around the ship to strengthen it for the storm; they lightened the ship by bringing dow n trom the masts and rigging ev erything that was superfluous; and Anally, the cargo and tackling of the ship Itself were thrown overboard. All this seemed to he of no avail, so that all hope of being saved was removed. It seemed that wicked men and ma terial forces were combined to pre vent the great apostle from reaching Home. However, this is only appar ent, for these very experiences were overruled by God to bring good cheer and salvation to many on the way. We should remember that tempestu ous winds, as well us the soft breezes, await God’s faithful ones. The pres ence of storms does not prove that we are going the wrong way. 11. Paul's Serene Faith (vv. 21-20). To a man who did not know God, the failure of the sun and stars to ! shine for many days, the fading of all | hope, was natural; but to the man of j faith, hope still burns brightly. God Is Just as near to Ills own In the midst of a stormy sea as in their quiet homes. Note Paul’s behavior: 1. His rebuke for their failure to heed his udvice at Fair Havens (v. 21) This was not a mere taunt, but a reference to the wisdom of his for mer advice urging them to give him a more respectable hearing. 2. Bids them be of good cheer (v. 22) He Inspired them with hope. 8. He promises them safety (v. 22)'. Though the ship would go to pieces, every man’s life would lie saved. 4. The source of his information (vv. 23, 24). The angel of God had revealed It unto him. 3. The reason of Paul’s calm faith (v. 23). “Whose I am and whom I serve.” 111. The Ship’s Crew All Safe on Land (vv. 27-44). This was exactly as the Lord had said. We can rest assured that all God has spoken shall come to pass, even though there be a broken ship, brutal soldiers and a perfidious crew. Aside from the fulfillment of God’s promise, the most important part of this section is the splendid sanity which characterizes Paul’s action on the way. Two things especially mark his sanctified common sense. 1. Ills vigilance had detected that the sailors had planned to escape. He knew how much they would be need ed presently, and at once took steps to prevent their escape. He went straight to the man in charge and said, "Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.” He practiced the truth that genuine reliance upon God is the all-powerful Incentive to human action. God’s decrees always include the means for their accomplishment. 2. He knew that the famishing con dition of the people was not the most favorable for the physical struggle which was soon to be undergone by them when they must struggle through the water to the shore. So he gets them to take a substantial breakfast. He had the good sense to look after that which was necessary. It was no time to talk to these men about their souls, for their bodies needed the main | attention. Ills prayer ffr that meal had more effect ui>on the people than Ills preaching would have had. Let us learn from this the divine method of administration, namely, God over ruling while man trusts Him and acts. A vigorous faith manifests Itself in reasonable action. Peopled the Holy City.

HOW “LIVER-EATIN’ ” JOHNSON GOT HIS NAME Among the scouts who were with Gen. Nelson A. Miles, when that of ficer inflicted his crushing defeat up on the Sioux chief, Crazy Horse, at J the battle of Wolf Mountain, Mont., . in 1877 was one bearing the strange name of “Liver-Batin’ ” Johnson. Johnson was a powerful Norwegian, weighing more than 300 pounds and standing six feet, three inches in his moccasin-clad feet. He had a great shock of golden hair of which he was very proud —so much so, that he 1 refused to wear a hat, and when he went into battle with this golden mane in the wind, he looked like an ancient Norse viking. Johnson had won his name in a gruesome way. Two stories about this are told, differing slightly in detail, ] hut agreeing in the main facts. One j tells how a party of Indians had raided a trading post on the Mussel shell Jtiver, hut were driven off with heavy loss. It is said that Johnson, In a spirit of devilish bravado, cut : .out the livers of several of the dead ! warriors and actually ate them. The other story seeks to justify i Johnson’s act. A Cheyenne chief hud raided and burned Johnson’s camp while he was away on a trapping ex pedition. When lie returned and saw Hie ruins, lie swore that lie would kill tlie Cheyenne and eat his liver, i Later he made good his threat. Either account may he correct, so far as j details are concerned. At any rate, j he was ever afterward known as “Liver Batin’” Johnson. Johnson’s inseparable companion j was “X” Beidler of Montana vigilante j fame. Beidler disapproved of John- j son's lack of headgear and called him j a “yaller-headed Injun,” because, as he said, “every decent white man wears some sort o’ coverin’ for his j scalp.” But Johnson was Ann in his j convictions, and in the fight with Crazy Horse’s Sioux he justified him- i self —to his own satisfaction, at least. As Beidler and Johnson charged up i the snow-clad slopes of Wolf moun- j tain that morning against entrenched | Indians, a bullet cut a furrow through | Liver-Batin’s liair, “like a pair of red | hot sheep shears,” as he said. I “Now you see!” he exclaimed to - | his “pardner.” “If I’d had a hat on, it’d bin plumb ruined!” Little is known of Johnson’s later history. He was a scout at Fort Cus ter 1881, when the young chief Sword Bearer tried to stir up the Crows against the whites anil scouted for | the troops during that brief war. After tliut he seems to drop out of history. “X” BEIDLER, WHO SEN 1 HIS • WIFE TO “ROME” One day In 1869, when the Nile, j one of the old-time wood-burning Mis- I iourl steamers, stopped near the mouth of Musselshell river in Mon tana to take on wood, two “wood hawks” came aboard. “Woodhawks” were men who cut firewood and corded it up on the banks of the river to sell to the steamboats. These two men were famous frontier characters, “X" Beidler and “Llver-Eatin” John son. Among Hie passengers on the Nile was a party of eastern tourists, among them several women who were j enjoying for the first time the thrills of being in the wildest “Wild West.” They were especially delighted at the ! appearance of Beidler and Johnson j and at once began asking questions j of these “picturesque characters,” as they called them. The woodhawks j were not especially pleased to be ; treated like a pair of Indians, but j said nothing about it. Finally one of the women inquired: “Mr. Beidler. j are you married?" “Yes,” replied "X.” “Oh, I would never have guessed it. Is — is your wife,aalat — a white j woman?” “Indian,” grunted Beidler. “How delightful! A native of these j great plains! Where is she now?” “Oh, I've sent her to Rome,” said the woodlmwk. "To Rome? To he educated? How romantic! Do you mean Rome, Italy?” “No,” answered “X," with a grim smile. “To roam on the prairie!" The woman stopped asking ques tions. Beidler served as a scout with Gen eral Miles In the Sioux war of IS7O, hut he was better known as a vigilante leader in the early Montana mining camp. John X. Beidler was his real name, but he was called "X" Beidler because he always signed his warn ings to western "bad men” with the single mysterious letter “X.” One such warning was usually enough to make the bad njan leave camp. Later “X" was sheriff of Lewis and Clark county. He once invited :he governor of Montana and other state officials to visit his jail and in spect a new steel cage of which he was very proud. The officials came and Beidler took them into the cage. “Now. dern ye!" he said to his prisoners. “Ye’ve been edgin' off late ly when I was tellin’ my stories of the old days an’ not listenin' to 'em. Now, I reckon you’ll listen.” He kept them there three hours and told them every story he knew I f=77ssS my ufFI ; Th» Feeling Tribute of a Woman b rijPE-RU-NA * READ HER LETTER--IT WILL DO YOU GOOD $ ■ .A.

A hotel steward said to be known I from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and j for forty years an observer of peo | pie who eat in public dining rooms, i is reported as saying at a convention of public food purveyors that “Amer ! ican women have forgotten how to cook.” The gentleman speaks with out knowledge of the facts. We may excuse him only because he has been penned up in public eating places for so many years that he has lost all ! sense of proportion and lacks facts for j comparison. American women have ! not forgotten how to cook. Their j good, wholesome, well-prepared food for home dining room feeds, and feeds amazingly well, 80 per cent of the pop plation. So general is good home cooking that every man forced by cir cumstances to get his meals at public places regards himself as unfortunate ' because he canuot always eat at home, j or at somebody else’s home.

In order to do your best work, you must be healthy. You must sleep soundly at night, your nerves must be strong, steady and under perfect control. If you are accustomed to drinking tea or coffee with your meals or between meals, you may be loading yourself with a very great handi cap. Your nervous system may be stimulated I beyond what is natural for you. For tea and coffee contain thein and caffeine. These are drugs as any doctor can tell you. They are known to irritate the nervous system by their action and to cause restlessness and insomnia, which prevent the proper recuperation | of the vital forces. || If you want to be at your best, capable of doing the very best work that lies in you, why not stop drinking tea and coffee? Drink Postum, the rich, satisfying beverage made from scienti fically roasted cereals. Postum contains absolutely no drugs of any kind, but in flavor tastes much like rich coffee.
