FRIDAY EVENING, HAJtRISBURG TELEGRAPH! NOVEMBER 3, 1916. HERO OF THE MALTESE CROSS Enough "Action" For Motion Picture in Sunday School Lesson <Uy Will I mil T. Kill*) Iron Crosses anil Victoria Crosses and Crosses of the Legion of Honor are' ! mentioned often these days In the dis patches frortl Europe. In this old. old message from Malta, we see the knlght- I ly figure of a hero who may be said to i have won the Maltese Cross —the Cross; j that stands for the fourfold qualities | jof reverence, obedience, courage and j ' service. Whoso wears a Maltese Cross j Should think of the Apostle Paul and of! | these four virtues, inscribed one on; i each arm of the Cross. There is enough "action" for a motion i i picture in the present Sunday School j lesson. At tirst, we see the lumbering! I Alexandrian grain ship tossed helpless- ! !ly by the "Euroclydon," or the north- | I easterly storm. Dr. Luke's wonder-) j fully accurate account of this hurricane j i is verified by many records; in 1555 it I | caused the death of 600 persons in e. j I Malta harbor. The British government I report says that It has been a "con stant menace to ships at anchor;" and therefore the new Monarch Shoal ! Breakwater was built. In Paul's case | the mariners were "at sea" in the col- | j loquial meaning of the phrase: they i knew not where they were or whither they were driving. The vessel, after I lifteen days of being battered by the j ! waves, was little more than a log on > | a strange sea. j Then land appeared, with a bay and | I a beach. If only the ship could be; driven upon that! Everything was sac- ; , riflced for the sake of a possible land ! ing: all that a man hath will he give in exchange for his life. So the pre- i I cious cargo of wheat was thrown over board. The cables were cut and the anchors left in the sea. Rudders were ' unloosed and everything made clear. ! Then, with sail up they let her drive ; for the beach. But thay missed it. j The ship struck part way into shore, i and the huge breakers began to pound i and batter the already weakened craft. | ■ The ship was doomed. Only the promise \ of Prisoner Paul, that all should be . saved, buoyed up their hope. True.to type—how the real man em- ; erges in a crisis!—the soldiers pro- I posed to kill the prisoners. Each after j his nature: the emergency revealed j Paul as a helper and the brutalized sol- I diers as slayers. Life meant as little to j j them as to the Turkish slayers of in-I ' nocent Christians. As ever a man's past J past rallies to his rescue, or doom, in t lan hour of peril. Paul had proved him- j 'self such an one that the centurion spared all the prisoners for his sake. ' I So it is that the principle of vicarious ! ness runs through life. | Al! overboard! Some on planks, some; j on spars, some on bits of furniture, each i litt of wreckage carrying a passenger, ! the entire company escaped to land. ! The word of his Lord to Paul had been j vindicated. Once more the greatness of . this one emergent personality was re- I i vealed. What Trouble Doe* For n Mnu | In this shipwreck story many a person ' reads a parable of his own experience. | The ship of prosperity has gone on the ! ; rocks: but from it he has escaped w'ith i his life, and more life than he ever ! knew before. Some men have never I known their real treasures, of self- i ! reliance, of family happiness, of fakii | ful friendship, of filial devotion, until what they had been accustomed to call I their "fortune" suddenly was lost to I them. The supremacy of the undlsmay !ed soul shines out in the night of | trouble. I "I have walked on the Mount of Glad ness, I have wept in the Vale of 1 Tears, And my feet have stumbled ofttlmes, , as I trod through the path of the ' i years; Yet my heart has ever lifted its song of thankful praise |To the God of all eternity, who has kept me in my ways. ! Though alone I tread the winepress, or kneel in Gethsemane, ! know that he has never forsaken, and that he leadeth me. i, 1 Though I 'walk through the Valley of | Shadow,' my soul shall be undis- j mayed. For my God is the God of the fathers, f i j • the God of the unafraid!" , , j Safety often comes by disaster. We j . j tlnd our soul when we lose our estate. ' J • 'Some men will never look up until 11 1 God throws them on their backs." Of i old the Psalmist wrote the truth In ! > Peeling the Skin Is Better Than Bleaching —.— , Ever since the discovery that mercol- ' ized wax would absorb and remove a ! discolored complexion, its use by ladies ! 'as a substitute for bleaching creams i < has grown rapidly. A perfect complex- 1 ion can be maintained indefinitely if i - this remarkable substance is used. Its ! - j beneficent cleansing, clearing and pre-!< 1 servative action is quicklv apparent, ' ■ and ladies who have be>n paying high prices for "special bleach" from beauty ! specialists, soon recognize that mercif- 1 j ized wax outranks them all. It has be- j ' ; come so popular that it can be obtained 11 at all druggists, who have it in original ; ] ' one-ounce packages. The favorite way i of using is to apply it like cold creani. 1 j before retiring, washing it off in the 1 ; morning. j < I The saxolite lotion for wrinkles and I i (the facial contour has also become ex-|- tremely popular. One ounce powdered saxolite is dissolved in one-half pint !' I witch hazel. Bathing the face in this ' has a splendid effect in erasing ' wrinkles and improving contour.—Ad- i I vertisement. , EDCCATIOXAL School of Commerce: ; - j 1 Troup Building 15 So. Market Sq.

Again 1 we find that our course of lessons has landed us at a present center of world , interest. The fleet makes such busy j times for Malta that the people scarcely miss the tourist market for Maltese lace and Maltese curios. This island upon which Paul and ,his ; companions were wrecked—the geog- i rapliies call the spot "St. Paul's Bay" j —is one of the great little places of i earth. It is a rocky bit of land, sev- ! enteen and one-half miles long and eight and three-quarters miles wide, almost midway between Europe and Africa in j the Mediterranean—HO miles from Europe and 180 from Africa, but only | sixty miles from the island of Sicily, j It was settled by the Phoenicians, and I the natives are still predominantly of that stock. In 1814 Malta came under' British rule, but from a period prior i to our lesson by many centuries it had I p weT" COLOR GLANDS Darkens Gray Hair Naturally Q-Ban Hair Color Restorer is no dye, ' but acts on the roots, making hair and scalp healthy and restoring the color glands of the hair.

For centuries ! 1 it was an outpost against Moslem at- \ tacks upon ISurope; and for two and a half centuries it was ruled by the Knights of Malta, or as their official i title ran, th? Knights of St. John of | Jerusalem. A modern fraternal order, lis called "The Knights of Malta." The population of the island has vastly in- J creased of late, and now numbers more j ! than 200,000. | These facts concerning Malta itself are stressed, not only for their inherent! ! interest, but also because they help; ■ make real the place of Paul's ship- 1 wreck. In teaching the Bible no task 1 is more difficult than to bring the events j : down out of the realm qf unreality.! I It is hard to realize that what Dr. Luke) I wrote in the Book of Acts is as ac- j jcurately historical as the events we I .read about in the newspapers. Paul ; was a real man, who swam ashore j ; through real water from the wreck of a real ship onto a real island, at a j point that may to this day be visited. | Since the Maltese who watched the j escape of the shipwrecked crew and J passengers were neither Greeks nor I ; liomans, they were in the speech of the ! day called "barbarians" or "foreign ers." They received the strangers with more courtesy than is often shrow.n to aliens in our own land. The weather J was cold and rainy, so the natives kindled a fire for the comfort of the strangers. Easily first among the bedraggled crew that had been driven ashore by the storm was Paul, the deliverer of ! them all. He might reasonably have held a levee and received the congratu ; lations and thanks of his shipmates. : That was not his way. When the spirit 1 of service grips a man it makes him a helper in things small and great. 1 Kven as Jesus helped in a social dlffi : culty, at Cana, so Paul quietly set about ! gathering firewood. When we were j boys we had difficulty with fellows who would not do their share of work for j the bonfire and we had a slogan "chip lor run!" which meant "get busy or get out!" Paul was ready for even small ways of ministering to men. After all every great life of service is made up of small deeds often repeated. The j Pauline spirit breathes through Maltle 1 D. Babcock's lines: "O Lord I pray That for this day I may not swerve By foot or hand From thy command Not to be served, but to serve. "This too I pray That from this day No Ixive of ease Nor pride prevent My good intent Not to be pleased, but to please. 'And if I may I'd have this day Strength from above To set my heart In heavenly art. Not to be loved, but to love. I Bearing an armload of firewood Paul approached the blaze, and the warmth of the lire drew from out the heat a viper, which, viper-fashion, fastened itself to his hand. "Aha." cried the superstitious natives; a murderer! He escaped the sea but justice has got him." A perfect case of circumstantial evidence. Men have been hanged for less. With popping eyes, the group about the big fire looked to see this I victim of the wrath of the Gods swell lup and fall dead. Instead, Paul shook the creature into the fire; if he had 1 been a modern sentimentalist, or an Indian Jain, he would have set it at i IJberty and provided food for it. Then the weather-vane of easy public opinion j swung around to the cry, "He is a god!" iHe was neither a criminal nor a god, | but every inch a man and a friend of ; man. From that experience of Paul, with i his subsequent sojourn in the house of j Governor Publius, whose father he heal i ed, is dated the evangelization of the island of Malta. Tradition says that j Publius became the first Christian | bishop of Malta. That the people of the j island remained faithful unto death we know from the inscription on the mar tyr graves in the Maltese catacombs. So the knightliest of all the figures | associated with Malta left his Impress unto this present day. To him history has given the Maltese Cross, inscribed lon its four arms with the qualities which this story exemplifies: -Rever ence, Obedience, Courage and Service. -eveiy word of it ' l l bio-w it is, because I have tried it!
