His application for compensation has been on file for more than a year, but no action has been taken by the bureau of war risk insurance, although time and time again, Pinnell's critical condition has been brought to the bureau's attention. So he has been existing without compensation and dependent upon members of the Ameri can Legion who visit the hospital regularly, for the many little necessities dear to the heart of every sick man. Walter T. Hamilton, chairman of the Bronx county Welfare committee of the American Legion visited the exgob and the latter confided to him that he longed to be back home In California among his people. Hamilton got busy. The next day he took the matter up with his Committee and $450 was raised by the Legionnaires to provide for Pinnell's transportation and an attendant nurse. Pinnell is home now with his aged father. His country for whom he fought may have forgotten, but his buddies?never. Pies for Sailor Boys.

All these camps are under expert scout men and are conducted In accordance with the requirements of the national camping department. The scout law Is the law of each camp and every one of these 150,000 boys will come back home a little nearer the scout Ideal "physically strong, mentally awake, morally straight."

The Controversy in the Church at !:ioch (w. 1-5). 'his difficulty was a most serious , for It threatened the disruption the church Into Jewish and Gentile Islons. It was not a question of the rilssion of the Gentiles into the rch; that had been settled some rs before when Peter received Corus into his household. The quesi now Is. "On what grounds can y be received? Shall Gentile conts be required to keep the Mosaic as a condition of salvation?" This e was brought on by the coming certain men from Jerusalem who tared, "Eicept ye be circumcised >r the manner of Moses, ye cannot ;aved" (v. 1). The question was so cult that Paul and Barnabas were ble to put them to silence. These Ish legalists had the letter of the ptures on their side; they could it to the commandments where was enjoined upon believers (Gen. 4). Paul could not point to any pture where It ,liad been abroad. If Puul could plead that Abrni was Justified before he was clrclsed, his antagonist could say, J, but after Justification the rite divinely Imposed." The brethren .ntloeh decided to refer the matter le mother church at Jerusalem. AcIpgly Paul and Barnnbas and rs were sent as a deputation to salem. At an Informal reception he church at Jerusalem they resed the things which God had i for them. The Deliberations of the Council 6-21). !ter some desultory discussion 7), the conference proceeded to >us business. Peter's Speech (w. 7-11). He ed that God had borne witness to acceptance of the Gentiles by glvthn Holy Spirit to them the same into the Jews. Since, therefore, had not put a difference It would 'oily for them to do so. God's cnon In serdlng Peter unto them was tie unanswerable proof that there was o distinction to be made. 2. Paul and Barnabas rehearse their jcperlence (v. 11'). They told how that Jod had set His seal of approval upon heir preaching of salvation by grace hrough faith apart from works, by the working of signs and wonders through I ~ - them. 3. The argument of James (vv. 1421). He took the fnct declared by Peter and showed how It harmonized with the prophecy of Amos. He showed that the reception of the Gentiles was not In conflict with God's plan. ' but In strict harmony therewith. God's plan fdr the apes is as follows: (1) Taking out from among the Gentiles a people for His name (v. 14). This Is what Is now going on ?the calling out of the church. (2) After the church Is completed and removed the Isrnelltlsh nation will he converted and restored to their land and privileges by the Lord himself at His return (vv. 16, 17). (3) Following this will be the conversion of the world through the agency of converted Ismel (v. 17; cf- Rom. 11: 15). He showed that there Is no conflict when the Scriptures are rightly divided. His Judgment was that the Gentiles should not be troubled with things that are Jewish, but should be . warned against the perils of heathenIsm, such as meat- offered to idols, fornication, and blood. III. The Decision (vv. 22-29). The mother church at Jerusalem came to a unanimous agreement and accepted the resolution offered by James. They no* only sent a letter stating the decision of the conference, but took the wise precaution to send Influential men along with Paul and Barnabas to bear the same testimony by word of mouth. This letter denied the authority of the Judalzing teachers (v. 24), and declared the method by which this decision had been reached (vv. 25-27). They put the Holy Spirit Jrst. The church was called together J to hear the report. Its reading brought great rejoicing. IV. The Second Missionary Journey Begun (15:36; 16:5): 1. Contention over John Mark (vv. 3fl-4"n Paul was suspicious of Mark because of his desertion on'tho former Journey, r.arnnbas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus. I'nul chose Silas and went through Syria and Cilicin confirming the churches. The Lord thus overruled It to good, for it gave an opportunity for wider dissemination of the gospel. 2. Finding Timothy (10:1-5). This was at the very place where Paul on his first journey had Vndured cruel stoning. Timothy was with Paul through much of his work ever afterward, a great blessing to him. Our Strength and Our Victory. Our times are disturbed by vast and stupendous problems. On every side the latch is lifting. and the door of opportunity stands ajar. But we shall fail in our day. as other men have failed In their day, unless by faith and experience we enter info the fellowship of our Lord's sufferings, and pray earnestly that the Holy Spirit of Clod may grant us wisdom and understanding and lead us Into all tnith. In thr power of the Spirit Is our strength and our victory. . ' * tvt * . ; Interestin I A BRAGGING ROOSTER. I MRS.

One warm day Mrs. Henny Hen took her family under the bushes out of the heat and told them to keep quiet, but little Rooster began to brag that he was very brave and that some day he would be the cock of the yard and that all the others would have to obey him. "I shall drive out all the other rcnsters and I shall have all the corn I want to eat before I let any of the hens eat a bit." said little Rooster. "I guess you will have to be braver than you ere now," said one sister chick. "I saw you run when the cat chafed you the other day and Mother had to drive her away." "I wasn't afraid of that old puss," fibbed little Rooster. "I wanted to see her run, and when I grow up I shall drive her 011 of the bnrnynrd."

These independent discoveries were united in 1840, when Miss Dorothy Catherine Draper posed for the first picture ever taken.
