This may not be the best way_to meet what could be a decidedly embarrass- ing situation, but with the sanction of the Hartford officials it will stand, and that is ready all that owners care about.

_ ,that something should be done to en-

courage early season racing and hit upon this plan .of not penalizing win- ners fwith records. Fear of a record has been one of the courses of racing for years. The time allowance rules havehelped matters considerably, and the latest idea is surely worth a year's trial. .

, GOLDEN TEXT

This is a faithful saying, and worthy

of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I sm 'chief.--i. Timothy 1:15.

Verses 1, 2. The story links itself

with the martyrdom of Stephen. “But Paul, yet breathing, threatening, and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord," etc. This apparently abrupt introduction carries the reader back to the point from which the evangelistic efforts of Philip had started. namely. the death of the other evangelist, Ste- phen.

Oi I Paul before he joined the murd-_

erers ot Stephen we learn many im- portant details from his own -refer- ences to his past life; but so far as the account in Acts is concerned it notes only his participation in the death of Stephen, and as an immediate sequel, his conversion. The gulf between the enemy and persecutor of God's cause on the one hand. and the zeal- ous supporter and promoter of it, is deep, but it is also narrow enough to be bridged by one superhuman effort.

Some have contended that the effect

of the dying Stephen's behaviour on Saul’s mind was only to irritate him and confirm him in his hatred of the Christians. Others have alleged that the conversion of Paul was the natural reaction of his better nature from the violent, extreme and cruel treatment of the martyr. 'I‘hercls an element of truth ln both positions. On the sur- face of Paul’s nature thc conduct of Stephen evidently produced a violent irritation. He was outraged by the apparent blasphemy of the evangelist. His zeal for the faith of his fatliors was goadcd on to a fury of hatred. But this could very well co-exist with a counter-cnprglit iu.ihc depths of his soul towards Christ. 'The heroic calm- ness and strength of the dying Chris- tian could not but command his ad- mirnlty. Alld what was thcrc, nftcr all, in Jesus us preached by Stcpllon that could bc condcmnod upon purely lnoroistnudsrds of rlightcousncss? Thoughts of this kind must have agi- tated his soul as hc journeyed towards Damascus.

Verscs 3-9. I‘aul probably went to

Damascus by the dlrcct routo, known as "thc Way of thc Sea." This is slightly iliiforcut from tho routc coin- monly taken by the modcrll visitor to thc Holy Land, who proceeds from Jerusalem, to tho sources of the Jor- dan. and hcncc north eastward to his destination. 'Phe exact spot of the remarkable experience of Paul is ilxcd by tradition on a height twelve miles south of Damascus. At this point the party would catch thc first glimpse of the ancient city. lt was a fit place for such an experience.

The different accounts of that exper-

ience show some differences in minor details. Since. however, all of_them must have had Paul as their* ultimate source, and since all are reproduced by Luke, these differences must, not be looked at as discrepancies, but rath- cr as mutually complcmelltary varia- tions. perhaps intentionally introduced to bring into view successively some aspects of tho extraordinary events that needed to be emphasized.

‘Ce.pt. McRae ' of the Canadian Machine Gun School, -Shoraoliife has written the following most interesting letter to Mr. R. V. hongworth, in which he illwleste that he will re- turn sad form a Machine .Gun Com- pany in P. E. l., and also explain several important inventious_ he bas madez- - -

Many thanks for the newspapers.

As the output of Guns increases from the new Munition Works there is a corresponding greater demand for Trained Machine Gun Oillcers. Non- Comrnissioned Oiilcers and men. I have a larger staff of instructors uu- der me (Officers and Non-Commlssiom ed) than the combined staff of all the Island Militia. So you can easily see how busy one has got to be, whether it is palatable or not. I have the triple complaint, sore, sick and tired. I have trained over 2000 Machine Gun- ners since joining the Expeditionary Force, many of whom now sleep in soldiers graves, some mained for life, some invslided home and the remainder still in the firing line standing manfully between the rna- tion, and ruin. The Machine Gun School has brought great credit to the Canadians in England. Last summer it was inspected by Sir Leslie Rundie in Command of the Eastern Com- mand and General Dickenson Insepc- tor of Training for the War Oilice. Their report to the War Oilice stated that it was the most advanced school in England and this was attributed to the Colonlal’s disregard or red tape and army traditions. About two weeks ago \ve were again inspected by General Dodds another inspector of Training and when he was ` all through. looking into everything. he informed us that the War Office had decided to adopt our system and met- hods of teaching and that they were going to standardlize all the schools in England on the same basis, Machine Guns and Aircraft are of more milit- ary value no\v than anything else. A few days ago the War Odlce sent down word to Canadian Headquarters to have every Canadian Private trained as a Machine Gunner if pos- sible. This is a very large order as a tremendous instructional- staff would have to be built up first. We have 6 men in a squad to each instructor, 8 men is too many and there is no ad- vantage in having less than six. This will give you an idea of what a large number of Instructors are required in order to turn out a larger number of trained men. General. Aldersou visited the scnool a couple of weeks ago, looked into all the details went back to France and reported that the only thing that delighted him at tho Training Division was the Machine Gun School. When tho 105th is re- cruited up to strength I propose to seek authority to return home and or- ganize the Frist Prince Edward isl'd Machine Gun Company, nine olilcers and one hundred and fortyonc other ranks will bo required. 1 propose to \‘§et,50 per cent at least ot' the Oillcers by bringing home Machine Gunners from the Trenches and having them promoted to oillcers. This is thc sound method of getting oillccrs for tho new units llow being organized. Thu outrageous pructlcc of giving commissions to civilians should stop fortliwitll. ' except ill cxccptiunnl cases whcro business ulcn urs requir- ed for administrative purposes. Not only docs it breed diillcultics und fos- ter inofilcioncy-but fur worse, it breaks the spirit of tho real lighting man in tho trenches who whcll Conl- missionsaro passed around should bo favorably considered. Many months ago I wrotc some of the lead- ing people at home urging U10 f0l`I\1&° tion of M. G. Companies, pointing out at thc samc‘time the grunt Military value of Machine Guns and that this proposed method would suit the lim- ited recruiting rescourscs of P. E. l., better than any other. Had tho sug- gestion been acted on wo would now have at least the lst. 2nd, 3rd and ith Prince Edward Island Machine Gur * ””.a_-

edge that came to him at his com. .

sion.

The preaching of the ne\v convert

was inet by violent opposition on one side and by natural suspicion on the other. The Jews of Damascus wore enraged and conspired to destroy him. And the Christians of Jerusalem shun- ued him as a possible disscmbler. To overcome the difficulties raised he lnust needs depend upon the assist- ance of his new friends. It was these that saved him at Damascus by help- ing him to escape by night. And it was Barnabas, another sympathizer,_ who introduced him to the apostles at Jer- usalem. lt, would be difilcnlt to overes- timate the helpfulness of those who understand one and sympathize with his aims and purposes.

Ure to a low figure is at once ap-` parent. This gun has other great features. It is both a. water cooled, and air cooled gun combined, that is to say ii, is nominally water cooled but should your water supply run out through your water ‘ jacket being pierced with enemy shrapnel or Bul-l let (as often occurs at the front) you, can carry on without it and remain in action much longer than with any of the air cooled guns such as the Lewis. Colt or Hotchkiss. This is the first time this feautre is found in one gun. When I was explaining the Mcltae Automatic Gun to be Head of a grunt Engineering Firm hs said:

And how did you arrive at all this

since you are not a Mechanical Engi- ncer.

1 said it was quite simple I took all

the Standard makes of guns, threw a- way all their vices and incorporated all their virtues into one weapon.

He said: “That was moving on

sound lines. l would like to have you on my staff when the war is over or as soon os you can get clear of the service."

l have designed three types ol' auto-

matic gulls any one of which is sup- erior to any Machine Gun heretofore existing. Tile great difficulty is to get these guns manufactured as every concern in Great Britain has more work contracted for than they can put through lu the_ next two years. if 1 could only get authority l could go to some neutral country and perhaps have the gun turned out in quantities before the wal' is over. Have also in- vented D. night Firing Box 'for Mach-

in 50c boxes..

to throw s. cone of ilre on a Bridge or anywhere the enemy might cross with perfect accuracy. ' It is iight, folds np. is indestruct-able. foul proof. (as everything on sctive_ service should be) and can be carried in the great coat pocket. The ones now in use are cumbersome and delicate and are not at all suitable for active ser- vice conditions. I-lave also invented a means of Machine Gun transport, an entirely new and novel idea and great things are anticipated in regard to it.

General McDq§_ugsll is very interested in it and ordc ed me to have it finish- ed as_ soon as possible. will send you photo of it as soon as it is got in working order. it enables one man to move about with his gun and Am- munition supply and be a complete ilre within himself. New I would like very much to rewrite this letter but really haven’t got the time to spare. Could write you many inter- esting things some of which..would send the cold chills down your back but am afraid the Censor might cnt it out. and besides would be inviting trouble. __
