A
DOUBLE SURPRISE
Miss Faith Adams Encounters
a Wild Bear
A Good Entertainment
Church Announcements
The first number of the Lyceum
course on Tuesday evening was
by the Maitland entertainers, con.
sisting of three young men who
were singers, musicians and read
ers of ability.
They gave an in.
tereeling program to a well-filled
house.
There were solos, vocal
and instrumental; duets and trios
of up-to-date seloctions, well ren-
and graciously received and appre
ciated, jndging from the hearty ap
plause frequently given.
The signers for the Lyceum |
course need feel no alarm for the
receipts If the whole program is as
good as the first number. It looks
well and is a joy to the people of
a small locality to get together on
such an occasion.
In glancing
over the audience some were missed
who should have been there and
perhaps they will indulge, now
that a verdict given is out by
those who were consulted this
morning as to the merits of the en
tertainment. To a man they ren
dered a favorable report. The next
number will be by Glenn Morris,

Justice being meted out to him. When
they saw that he was unbanned they
concluded that he was a god.
4. Paul heals Publius' father (w . 7-
10). These people are now getting
some return for their kindness. When
this nun of note was healed others
came also and were healed. To this
they responded In appreciation by load
ing them down with necessary sup
plies.
II. Paul Arrives at Roma (vv 11-16).
When Paul landed at Rome Christ's
charge to the disciples was fulfilled.
After three mouths' stay at Melita,
Paul departs for Rome In the ship Al
exandria. whose sign was Castor and
Pollux. At Syracuse they were de
layed three days, perhaps for favora
ble winds. At Puteoll he found breth
ren, at whose request he tarried seven
days. At Appllt-Forum and at the Three
Taverns brethren from Rome met him
From Puteoll the news went before
Paul's coming, and so interested were
the brethren that they came more
than forty miles to meet him. This
greatly encouraged him, for which he
gave God thanks. No one, perhaps,
ever enjoyed more close fellowship
with God, and yet no man ever en
joyed more and derived more benefit
from human fellowship than he. Uls
readiness to preach the gospel at
Rome, which he had expressed In the
Epistle to the Romans, written from
Corinth about three years before, was
now realised. He was treated with
great leniency at Rome, for he was
allowed to hire a bouse there and live
alone except that the soldier that re
mained his guard was constantly with
him. Being chained to a soldier was
rather Irksome, but yet It gave him a
chance to preach to the soldiers which
he could not have had any other way.
He rejotced In whatever circumstances,
Just so the gospel was preached.
III. Paul’s Ministry In Rome (vv.
17-81).
1. His conference with the leading
Jews (vv. 17-22). He did not, as
usual, watt for the Sabbath day to
speak to the Jews. He only allowed
one day for rest His object was to
have a fair understanding with them
When they came he endeavored to
conciliate them. He told them that
though be came as a prisoner, he was
not a criminal.
Though his own
countrymen had so sought his life, he
did not come with an accusation
against them. The result of this Inter
view was that the Jews- cautiously
took neutral ground, but expressed a
desire to hear what Paul could say In
defense of a sect which was every
where spoken against. The fact that
this sect was spoken against Is no evi
dence that It was wrong. Many times
a thing may be wrong In men's minds,
because thetr Judgments are biased. If
a thing Is right In the sight of God It
matters not what men think about It.
2. Paul expounding the kingdom of
God and persuading concerning Jesus
(vv. 23-31). He (Jointed out a real
kingdom—the Messianic Kingdom with

Klux Paraders and
Pumpkin Ghosts Out
Hallowe'en celebrations, from
just a friendly frolic with apples
and popcorn tor ‘ ‘cats’’ to an elab
orate function, were indulged in
on Monday evening and the young
people were not very critical.
It
did not take much to make them
happy.
The streets were lined
with ghosts in Ku Klux regalia and
lighted pumpkins carried
by
masqueraders, and calls were made
and windows were tapped on and
doors were not neglected by any
inenne.
Frequently one heard bursts of
laughter or shrieks of joy when
someone perpetrated au unusual
joke.
Some mentally abnormal youlh
threw a stone which struck Miss
Bray, one of the teachers, who
was chaperoning the 5th and 6th
grades in their innocent frolic,
cutting a deep gash on her forehead
oloao to the hair and causing her
much pain.
This event alone
marred the joy of the evening.
Hallowe’en parties were staged
in an appropriate wav. No other
holiday belongs especially to the
young folks of high school age and
this day is devoted to frolics and
nonsense.
The Halsey high school gave a
reception for Tangent last Satur
day evening.
A ll the Taugent

The hall waa effectively decorated
in the high school colors, red and
white.
Black cat» and* jack-o-
lanterns were in great abundance,
while the lights were covered so as
to cast spookv shadows about.
Geraldine Cook, Leon Palmer,
Frost Bass and Janet Boggs acted
as receiving committee.
