Ills craft is the first of its kind/and size to undertake jguch a voyage, which Is expected to 1 |ast a year and a half. It carried the Bag of the Adventurers' club, ^'ites j games C. Young in the New York {Times. ^ The sailing of the Speejacks, as this modern argosy is named, was the first Step in realization of a castle built in the air two years ago by Albert Y. j Gowen, Jr., of Cleveland, yachtsman 1 land big business man, who has been i (visualizing soft southern skies and the :' rTeel" of the swelling tide between {deals In the workaday world. Mrs. | jGowen joined in the dream, and now | the Is aboard the Speejacks as the- i yacht trnvels southward, the only woman who ever started on a 50,000ratle trip in a craft not much larger 1 than many motorboats. 1 i But the Speejacks is a miniature jocean liner, said to be the most com pletely equipped vessel of its sort' which has come off the ways. After stopping at Norfolk and Kings- , ton, Jamaica, the Speejacks will cut through the Panama canal and start i pcross the Pacific for the Marquesas j Jslnnds, a distance of 3,729 miles, j which alone represents a record at- j 1 f..,. a Kont- nf tills kind From icmpt. xv* ? ? ? I there the route lies via Tahiti, Society ; jslauds, thence to Samoa, Fiji, the New j Hebrides anil New Caledonia. Mr. j Gowen pluns to cruise through the [ i South Sea islands, niauy of which are 1 practically unknown and Isolated from < 'anything called by the uame of civ- I ilization. * I Tlie party plans to spend Christmas lu Sydney, Australia, then on to Java, Borneo and Manila. From there they will go to China, Slam, India, Arabia, i and spend their second Christmas in 1 Cairo. Once more under way, the Spee- i jacks will visit Turkey, Greece, France I aud Spain, before turning her nose southward to West Africa. Then the long trip across the Atlantic, reaching '; home again about April. 19113. Two years ago Mr. Gowen decided that he needed a vacation. He had built four yachts, and set about planning a tifth which was to be unlike i i ava* aanctmatuil a Mil j IllUlf, i. 'vi wuoviuvivu, b v, u?v Which nobody ever had utternpted.

Another year was spent In the work, which Mr, Gowen personally superintended for the, most part. His craft cost close to a quarter of a million dollars, and to a boatman she is the prettiest thing thut ever tripped the waves. The Speejacks Is 98 feet long, 100 tons. 17 feet wide and draws six feet. Every tiling below the water line is made of bronze, and all of the upper works are teakwood, especially im ported frpin India, at a cost of about five times that of mahogany. Even the decks are teakwood. Inside, the Speejacks is finished in natural waxed i mahogany, and for completeness and elegance she is without rival. Her | driving power comes from two 250- i horsepower engines, operated either I by gasoline or kerosene, capable of 13 ! knots an hour, with a cruising radius ^ of 3,000 miles. * The Speejacks carries 3,500 gallons ' of gasoline and 1,000 gallons of water. c As this last woud be only three weeks' c supply tfyr the prtrty aboard, condens- ' ers were installed to obtain fresh water from salt. These will produce six gallons an hour. A refriger- * ating machine will turn the distilled water into ice as needed. The Speejacks carries 50,000 feet of moving picture film, and 100,000 feet u additional will be picked up en route. v Tliere are two cameras aboard and an j expert photographer, who will take a , complete film history of the whole trip. ( The Speejacks' radio has a trans- f mission range of 1,000 miles, and will t receive messages from any distance. She carries a wireless telephone out- r lit with a radius of 000 miles. The f Speejacks has four of the latest type machine guns, firing up to 1.000 shots t ii minute, and an arsenal of small v urins. Mr. Gowen plans to go in- a land in the Straits Settlement. Siain. n southern China and West Africa after a :ame. ' I Aside from being a jaunt around tiie j world, the voyage of the Speejacks has (] i historical and scientific phase. Mr. t Gowen has collected no less than 840 g charts for his trip, und he expects to v Gring back some notable improvements in maps, particularly those of the a South Sea Islands, which still remain o unexplored to a great degree. As a ! g representative of the National Geo- v graphic society and the Field museum, 'l Chicago, he will endeavor to obtain j u new Information on wild life as he j li tinds it. Bernard F.

The statement is signed in behalf f the Association of Railroads Enterng Chicago, by Samuel Felton, pres3ent of the Chicago Great Western. By coincidence, the statement, which eviews the railroad situation and the auses of the strike, was issued at allost the same moment, Warren S. tone, president of the Brotherhood f Locomotive Engineers, was giving ut a statement in Cleveland telling ,'hy the Big Four Brotherhoods and he Switchmen's Union of North Amerla had authorized a walkout on Octoer 30. The statement, in part, follows: "The thing it is proposed to strike gainst is the decision of the railroad lbor board authorizing the reduction f 12 per cent in wages which the railr'ays put into effect on July 1, 1921. 'here is at present no other possible round for a strike by the railway laor brotherhoods. "The wage reduction which Went nto effect July 1 was authorized by he railroad labor board. Therefore, he strike, if it occurs, will be against decision made by a government body cting in accordance with a federal aw. "While the railways complied with he decision in 1920 for an advance a wages, the labor brotherhoods now ropose to defy the law and strike ather than accept a much smaller reaction in wages. , "The railway executives decided to sk the railroad labor board for a furher reduction in wages and to give he public in the form of reductions a rate all the benefits of any further jduction in wages granted.

PRTMARV TflPTP?Hnn; Paul's Frienrls Showed Their Love. JUNIOR TOPIC?Paul and His Fflends. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC ?Paul and His Friends. YOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC ?Paul Reviews His Ministry. I. Paul's Visit to Groece and Miletus (20:1-61. Two incidents marked tfiis trip: 1. The Jews laid wait for hlra (vv. 1-5). Tills plot obliged him to retrace his steps through Macedoniu Instead of a more rapid sea voyage. 2. Fellcwshlplng the Disciples at ' Troas (vv. -M6). He met with them around the table of the Lord and spoke words of encouragement. While preaching here, Eutychus, In a deep sleep, fell fr^m a window and was killed. Paul restored his life, thus giving to the disciples a sign of divine power which was greatly needed at that time. II. Paul's Farewell to the Ephesian Elders (20:17-88). His object In this address Is to Impress upon them their responsibility. 1. Review of his three years' ministry (vv. 18-21). (1) The spirit of ministry (v. 19). He was humble, lender and faithful In spite of the many trials which befell him. (2) The faithfulness of his ministry (vv. 20, 21). He made known unto them everything which was of profit, taught them both Ifi public and In private. He neglected no class, Jews or Greeks. He was Impartial In all his ministry. (3) The theme of his ministry (v. 21). Repentance and faith. This Is the proeminent note In the message of true ministers today. Men and women need to repent of their sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. 2. The present state of things (vv. 22-27). Having reviewed his ministry, he now points out the present state of things. (1) His Immediate purpose was to go to Jerusalem (v. 22). (2) Bonds and afflictions were1 lying . . across his path (v. 23). Despite these he went forward with undaunted courage. He knew that God was leading him. so he went forward. (3) His flxied purpose (v. 24). He was determined to complete his ministry at whatever cost?even giving up his life. (4) His consciousness of obligation discharged (w. 25-27). Knowing that 1 they should see his face no more, he called them to record that he had not shunned to declare the whole counsel of God; therefore was free from the blood of all men. 3. His charge to the elders (vv. 2835). (1) The ground of (v. 28). The flock for which they must care was purchased by the precious blood of Jesus, and they had received their commission from the Lord. (2) The Impending evils (vv. 29, 30). False teachers would arise from their own number. Grievous wolves would devour the flock. The most deadly foes of the church are those ministers and Sunday school teachers who are unfaithful to their trust. (3) Incentives to faithfulness (vv. 31-35). His own example of watching night and day for three years Is held up before tnera; his nnselflsh service, laboring with his own hands night and day that he might be free from suspicion of selfishness. III. Paul Tarrying Sevan Days at Tv,? tot t I / V \-* * w/. His point of destination was Jerusalem. He was pressing onward thither with all speed, but on account of the unloading of the ship he was obliged to wait at Tyre for seven days. During this delay he searched out the disciples who lived In that city. While here certain disciples said that Paul should not go to Jerusalem. The information which these disciples received by the Spirit was doubtless the same as that given to Agabus (vv. 10, 11). Agabus told exactly what the Spirit 6pld, which sets right what the Tyrian disciples seemed to say. The same Spirit which showed to these disciples that suffering awaited Paul, revealed unto him the same suffering and sent him forward into It.' If this be kept in mind, the apparent contrifrUotinn hetween what the disciples re ceived through the Spirit and what Paul received by the same Spirit, will be removed. IV. Paul Tarrying in Philip's House <vv. 7-14). Resuming their journey, they paused briefly at Ptolemais to greet the brethren there, after which they went to Caesarea. Here they took up their abode with Philip, who had so successfully wrought In the early days of the church. His four daughters doubtless are mentioned to show that the Spirit's gifts are not confined to one sex. They were devoting themselves to the Lord's work in harmony with the prophecy of Joel (Acts 2:17-21). V. Paul at Jerusalem (w. 15-17). The brethren at Jerusalem gladly received them. Paul's lodging place was with an old disciple. "Feelings.'* Speaking recently. Dr. Jowett said too many people are guided by their feelings. "I do not mind telling you," he said, "that my own feelings are as mixed and unreliable as our Eng Ush weather. I am up and down, day after day. One moment I am 'nervy* and another full of Joy, and another full of depression. I remember once going for an hour's sail in a fishing boat. In tbac hour I think I had every imaginable feeling. We passed through a blaze of sunshine and a drenching shower. But the helm was right, and we steered straight foe home. Get your helm right, and steer straight for God; that is religion " .; i
