ADVENTURERS* CLUB HIADIINIS FROM THI LIVES OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELFI "Storm on the North Sea” By FLOYD GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter O ELLO, EVERYBODY: A 1 Put on your oil skins, boys and girls, and come aboard. We’re off to sea in bad weather with Henry S. Cow- den of Chicago, with the lee shore of adventure off to star board, and a heavy gale blowing us right smack into it. In the spring ol 1896 Hank Cowden was second mate on the tour- masted bark Stanley of Liverpool, homeward bound from Calcutta, In dia, with a cargo of jute and cotton for Hamburg, Germany. It was the twenty-sixth of March, and the Stanley had passed through the English channel and the Straits of Dover and was plowing along through the North sea. v It was the morning watch, and Hank was at the wheel. A heavy mist hong over the sea, and the captain was standing at Hank’s side gasing anxiously to starboard. To Hank, he said: “We most be near land, mister, even though we can’t see it in this fog. Keep a good lookout and see that the lead is used every ‘ ten minutes. If any squalls make op in the north, call me at once. I’m going down to breakfast.” The captain was gone, and Hank was alone at the wheel. .A squall did come up—but it came up so suddenly that Hank didn’t even have time to warn the captain. It caught the ship under full sail. It tore the royals and topgallants to ribbons and blew the Stanley off its course. With the change in the wind, the fog began to lift The captain came on deck and ordered Hank aloft to look for land. Ship Ran Aground in the Breakers. Hank got as far as the fore cross trees. There he could see over the fog. and he didn't have to go any farther. To starboard were breakers, and the ship was almost into them! Ike ship waa deemed.

On its sixteenth birthday, players who got their start or revived their careers there sent tele grams and encouraged the manager to keep vaudeville alive. Among the many famous names who graduated from this theater are the radio pets Ed gar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy, Martha Raye, James Cagney, Walter Huston who played a dramatic sketch fifteen years ago, and Joe E.

There are two common er rors—one is to attempt to be justi fied by good works apart from faith in the Lord Jesus Christ—the other is to talk about believing in him and then fail to live in accordance with one’s profession.

The boat carried them through rough seas to the Hercules, and the Hercules landed them in Nieu Diep. Holland. There Hank learned that the Stanley had not been the only unlucky ship in that night’s storm. Five hundred fishermen had lost their lives in it e-WNU Service. Rock Cystal Is Hardest of the Common Minerals True rock crystal is a very pure transparent quartz, and quartz is a common mineral compound consist ing of silicon and oxygen. It is a constituent of many types of rock and is the hardest of the common minerals, observes a writer In the Detroit News. The most prevalent form is a milky white, but there are several other colors caused by im purities, which are considered semi precious stones or ornamental ma terial. The varieties used as gems include amethyst, which is violet; false topaz, pale yellow in tint; as well as rose and smoky quartz. Rock crystal is often cut into vases, balls, statuettes and beads. The Bristol or rhinestone diamond is rock crys tal cut like a diamond. It to ob tained mosUy from Japan. Switzer land. Brazil. New York and Arkan- aaa.

The word ’’converasUon’’ In v. 13 Is an English word which now means “talk” but which formerly meant “manner of living.” 1. Words and works must agree (vv. 13,14). It to only right that those who speak of following Christ should prove it in their manner of living. Talk may be smooth and broad In its claims, but the demon stration of its reality and honesty is In the daily walk. This calls for wisdom which is divine—earthly wis dom will not suffice. 2. Earthly wisdom is false (vv. 15.16). There is a wisdom apart from God. Men of the world are brilliant and able, but scrutinize their wisdom and you will find that it is "sensual”—that is, of the senses—or natural as distinguished from spiritual. All too often it is downright “devilish" (v. 16). 3. True wisdom is from above (w. 17.18). Undeflled, unselfish, uncom promising, but not quarrelsome or stubborn, impartial and sincere— and "full of mercy and good fruits” —such is God’s wisdom for the Christian’s life.
