He was a well grown young Heron. In fact, he was nearly as big as his mother. And so far as Peter could see at first there was nothing the matter with him. But Peter knew that there was something wrong because his mother, Mrs.. Longlegs, had just been feeding him, and he was plenty big enough and old enough to catch his own food. She wouldn't ‘do his fishing for him if there were not some reason why he couldn’t do it for Himself. Peter remained hidden under some great would not be sympathetic or work in harmony with". him in a gentile church. As a result of prayer his mind was turned toward Saul of Tarsus, whom he had met and intro- duced to the apostolic band when he came up to Jerusalem and told them of his marvelous conversion. He recalled how he had told him that God - had called him to work the gentiles when he said “Good-bye,” as the inspectorgs fully capable of find- ing the guilty man. These private detectives are always looking for press notices and the notoriety will be hideous! Do you realize—?" “I realize everything, Uncle George, and my mind is made up" Mrs. Creveling replied with a_quiet, finality of tone which brooked no {further opposition. “I do not imply that the police department is incapable of handling this—this crime, but I want to feel that I myself am leaving no atone unturned to discover by whose hand my husband came to his death. It the inspector will give you his number I wish you would go and call up Mr. Terhune yourself for me. Tell him to nathe his own price, anything, but to come at once.

There are records of several fam. ines recorded in the reign of Claudius later that Barnabas and Saul carried gifts from this gentile church fof the poor of the derusalem church, that was reluctant to share the gospel with those who were not Jews. It is not without significance that the fi tion of the term “Christian, marked the independence.of the Chris: tian church ffom the synagogue and temple, should be followed by the rec- ord of their free-will off relief of the poor, who were not of their own membership, city.or race. The famine tested their faith. Their gifts revealed that they possessed the spirit of Christianity to share with all mankind in their need without regard to nationality or ereed. It was probably while Barnabas and Saul were in Jerusalem distributing the poor fund that they had a confer- ence with the apostles concerning the revelation that Saul had received-con- that the apostles gave their approval of the proposdl for him to engage in foreign missionary work, which was inaugurated by the Antioch Church ' and will be the theme for our study next week. When they returned from Jerusalem to Antioch they were ac- companied by John Mark, who was a relative of Barnabas and the son of Mary, whose home was the headquar- ters of the young church during the dark hours that followed the Master's death. This brilliant young man, who was a son of wealth and trained, in the atmosphere of Jerusalem, was destined to play a prominent part in the labor of both Barnabas and Saul and give to the church a gospel of Christ. He was to share with them the commencement of foreign missionary work. vigorous, a scholar of unusual accom- plishments and, while extremely dem- ocratic and approachable, never for- getful of the dignity which attaches to his position. Born and reared in Ireland, the son of well-to-do parents of distinguished ancestry, he is de- clared by those who know him to represent the best culture -of his na- tive land. He will be forty-two years old on October 12, when, it is thought, his in- stallation is likely to take place at the Baltimore Cathedral. About five feet ten inches in height, he is of slender, muscular figure, which shows the effect of his association foot ball and hand ball playing when he was attending the Jesuit school at Mun- greth, Ireland, honors. All those who have met him—and he has visited Baltimore a number of times—emphasize the fact that he has abundant vitality and energy. He has the dark, brown-black hair and the gray eyes of the Irish, and his speech, it is said, contains just the faintest suggestion of his origin. He did not come to this country until_he was grown. After leaving the Mungreth school he studied at the Royal University in Dublin, took first honors on his graduation there and went to the Propaganda Theo- logical University -in Rome. honors in 1901, Rome in 1904, ‘and in the same vear was sent to Florida as a missionary priest. Shortly after his arrival “he received a parish at Dejand, where he remained until made a bishop in 1914. It was his custom while there to pay his pastoral visits riding a bicycle. Mgr. Bonzano, the present apostolic delegate at .Washington, was one of Bishop Curley's teachers in Rome. —_— PRESBYTERIANS GAIN 55,453 DURING YEAR Church Now Hss Total of 1,692, 558 Members in Am¥rica—Con- tributions Reach $47,000,000.
