Italy and Ethiopia, for European pence

developments, was the cahjnet’s an-

Italian forces In Libya have received
reinforcements of -to.lKK) men with
tanks and field artillery, and are much
stronger than the British forces In-
Egypt. If ecoriopilc sancllons were liu,

• Old Ship Groans Under'Waves.
The storm hit the cattleboat when she was out in the middle of the Atlantic
ocean, and the old ship grouped, plunged and rolled on her beam ends’-at an
alarming angle.
The crowded cattle—seasick and mad with terror—shrieked and
u kicked at every pitch of the ship, and Pete says it was plain bedlam be-

Monster waves plunged In through the open upper-deck -hatch and the men

Now if you've never been on a cattleboat you are probably wonder-
ing why they didn't close the hatch and keep the water, out, but the
trouble with that is that it also keeps the air out, and if you’ve ever

' A Stampede at Sea Is Really Something.
and I for’one don’t want any p^rt of It, but a stampede at sea—In a storm—Is
really something to write home about.
.Pete says it was n sight he krill never forget. The maddened steers—insane
with terror—came splashing along the passage-wfiy at OAiazIhg speed—tongues
hunglng out of their open mouths and eyes starting out of their heads.
fyten and Cattle Caught in- Death-Ttap,
One of the leaders fell, hut the rest never paused ns they trampled him to
death in the foam beneath tholr pounding hoofs.
Pete let out a yell and tried to get out of the way, but the foreman
vitas in front of him, and the foreman was a fat man and his slow-mov-
ing bulk completely filled the passage-way. -
Pete says he felt like n rat In a trap—those few Seconds that he stood there
unable to move one way or the other.
The foreman was an old timer and when lie hurdled over a barrier Into
stall he saved not qiirly Ills own life lint Pete’s, because aSrhe jumped he felt the
hot breath of the leading steer on Ills cheek.
Well, sir,-, jumping Into one of those narrow stalls with n fruntic steer for
a cabin mate was liktv-jumping from the frying pan Into the fire.
-Every time the boat rocked the steer would go careening danger-
ously around—smashing against otue side and then the other—with
Pete doing his best to keep his feet.
One false step on that slippery floor and thi* story would never
have been told.
Luckily for Pete and. hjs shipmates not as many ol the cattle had escaped
as It seemed;------ *
Sea Was Singing “Lrsl Round-Up.”
The bellowing procession down the passage-way was only about ten strong,
and when It passed the men all jumped hack out of the stalls and waded after
their charges. .
That chase rambled all dver the ship, and if you ,want some excitement, reto
says, try rounding up cattle on a ship at sea.
Every time the cowhpys would corner-one ol^the critters, why that
ftoatihg pasture would turn on. end and men and cattle would slide kick- |;(|
intf into the scuppers. Those big waves, Pete sa>rs, sure seemed to be
singing “The Last Round-Up” for him.
But the storm finally eased up and the cattle were rounded up and led back
to tlieir repaired stalls with no serious-casualties to the men.
There were a lot of broken legs, however, a mop's the steers.
The animals were destroyed to en"d their suffering, nod; as the- good ship

And so, boys and girjs, ends the saga.

Odors of Many Blossoms
Are Far From Agreeable
^Throughout the ages, scents hnvs
exercised a fascination over mankind,
tn far-ofT days, says Tit-Bits Magazine,
Incense and frankincense were used
Iji thp temples of most religious orders.^
On a granite tablet at the base, of the"
•Sphinx theTe Is still to be seen a rep-
resentation of King Thottimes IV burn-
ing incense as an offering.. It was the
custom to prescribe certain perfumes
in cases of Illness. The sriiell of white
violets wss said to be good for the
digestion, while a perfume made from

Scent-making methods today do not
differ greatly from those employed long
before hjstofy vvas written. Everyday
(lowers still form the bftsis.of all really
.good scents, although synthetic prep-
arations are sometimes used In cheap

only 400 possess any agreeable smell

I, Personal History.
1. He was ttie son of Zebedee and
brother of the apostle James (Matt.
4:21). Tlie Implication Is that, his fa-
ther was in easy circumstances, for-lie
hud boats artd- hired servants (Mark
1:19, • 20).
2. He was a disciple of -John the
Baptist (John 1:35-40). This was a
most valuable training, for John, was
a print sent from God (John 1 :ll). The
fiery eloquence of the Baptist no doubt
"profoundly Impressed him.
3. He Was callgd to follow Jesus
4Matt. 4:21, 22). He was first called
ii'ifo the.relationship of a disciple. As
a disciple he came to know Jesus per-
sonally.
4. Appointed asahii. apostle (Matt.
10:2). Having been tested us a dis-
ciple. he now is appointed us art
apostle (Mark'iUl.’l-lit; Luke 0 rlB-IO).
II. His Character.
1. ^ l ie was reserved. That is, lie
was decidedly reticent about hitnsolf.
lie speaks of himself’As “the disciple
whom Jesus loved" and "that other
disciple." ...
2. j I e possessed a rare- gift of pene-
trative Insight. The. truths- set forth
In Ills writings did not coni**-as a re-
sult of reasoned judgment, out of pene-
trative insight. He was Indeed a seer,
It. lie was thoroughly, masculine.
Uhrlstjun ait does him a thorough In-
justice in portraying him - as effemi-
.tifttc. He Was intense, vehement in his
temperament. He was truly a "son of
thunder,” as-Christ declared (Mark
8:17).".
III. Some Instances-of Behavior.
1. .intolerance. pf irregular service
(Luke 9:49. JS0). There was a certaia
disciuje who seems to have been intel-
ligently witnessing and God had hon-
ored his testimony with power to cast
out devils. John forbade him because
he was not working with them.
2. Ilis righteous' Indignation dls- ,
played (Luke !l:51-5fl). When Jesus
had%set hits face toward Jerusalem
some Samaritans refused to extend
hospitality; to hint: This treatmetlT'ot •
his Master so aroused the anger ot
John afwliJnmes that they desired to ,
call down fire from heaven to hum.
them up. This action grew out of
John’s grdat love for. his Master.
8. John's care of .Christ’s mother
(John-HI !2iV27->. From the crpss-Jesus-
beheld Ills.,mother and committed her
..to the tender cure of John. ;Phe In-
tense love that he had for his Lord
would move Inin to express the tender-
est affection for his mother.
IV. His Third Epistle.
This is one of the three private Epis-
' ties of the New Testament and gives
us a took Into the early chufch life,
and also a picture of the aged apostle.
This Epistle consists .of the following
parts: -
1. The salutation (vv. 1-4). This
letter was addressed.to'Gatu*. with the
fervent wish^that his temporal pros-
perity and physical^health would be
measured by the measure ofyfhe In-
crease of his spirituality. His supreme
joy was to Dear that his children were,
walking in the truth. ’ (.
2. His praise for Gains (vv. D-fil.
This, praise was for the hospitality,
which Gains showed toward some trav-
eling evangelists. In spite of the op-
position (jf'a certain prominent mem-
ber of .the church. Gains received these
preachers into Ills .'home. To receive 1
God’S messengers into our homes amt
send them forth on their journey Is a
deed worthy Of God. One of the best
ways ui help the truth is to show hos-
irttaHijr'ioTO-iiRtyffigaSTx;'1; ■ ~*"~
.1.-His condemnation of Dlotrepheji
(vv. 9. 10). The sin of this man .was
his over weening self-confidence and
arrogance. He loved to have the place
of pre-eminence; therefore, for that
reason he refused receive these, trav.
eling evangelist's and expelled from
the church those who had received them
into (heir homes. He even maliciously
attacked John the beloved pastor. His'
spirit, of pride moved Mi'im to acts of
tyranny toward others.
4. His commendation of Demetrius (v.
tj-l'i Demetrius was perhaps the bear-
er of this lelter, John gives'the assur___■'■■■
anoe that Demetrius was of good report
among .all men. His life of good deeds1 -
proved .that he was in fellowship with
God. .
