Giant Bridge at Detroit is Mounting Fast i Ceremonies Greeted the First Can adian Link at This Point . 47 Feet Wide. Detroit, Mich. The hoisting of a steel cable to the tops of the towers at either end of the Ambassador j bridge over the Detroit river, mark j ing the first visible link between the ' United States and Canada in this i section was observed with appro priate ceremonies at which digni taries from both the border cities of ; Detroit and Ontario were present. : while thousands lined the river banks on either side. I From this cable will be strung woi kine platforms for the construc tion of one of the two main bridge i cables while the same operation will t be followed for the other. Officials ! of the companv announced that the new bridge will be rushed to comple tion by the summer of 1929. ! When completed, the Ambassador bridge will be approximately 7400 feet in length. Adjoining the ends of the bridge stducture proper will be two terminals, each roughly Equiva lent to a large city clock in area The min snan between the towers will be 1S50 feet in length or 100 feet longer than the Philadelphia Canadian bridge, which is at present the longest suspension bridge in th world. The bridge will carry an unob structod roadwav. 47 feet wide, with a cap3citv of five lanes of traffic, and an eight-foot sidewalk. The number of lanes of traffic used in any one direction may be varied to suit traf fic conditions. Mai.-Gnn. Edear Jadwm. Chief o Engineers, United States War Do partment. ordered the clearance ove high water in the river to be 135 fee near the shore and 1T.2 feet for j short distance near the center of the span. This allows the passage o vessels with stacks, masts or funnel 20 feet higher than any now plying on the. lakes, and 60 feet higher than the present freighters. The approach grades are entirely acceptable for the best highway practice. An idea of the magnitude of the bridge may be gained from the fol lowing statement of approximate quantities of different kinds of mate rials entering into its construction: Strtuctural steel and cable wire. 24. 000 tons; concrete masonry, 23.000 cubic yards; cement, 40,000 barrels; roadway pavement, 60,000 square yards; sidewalk, 8000 square yards; rivets driven, 2,000.000; terminal buildings, f.40,000 cubic feet; mavi mum number of laborers simultan eously employed in field, 550.

S. Brlgrgs V V i iI'"i'i.'.t.i" l Golden Text: "Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say unto you, rejoice." Phil. 4:4. Imprisoned for the Truth's Sake i At PhilliDi. the first place where Paul and Silas had worked in Europe ; and where the Gospel had first ; been preached, there was a dement-, ed girl, who was used by a syndicate? for profit, as they had claimed that she was able to tell fortunes, and by the inunderstandable noises whicn ' she made, they charged and interpret ed the sounds to be a revelation of : the future. This damsel followed af- ter the two apostles crying. i nese men are servants of the most high God, and are showing the way of; alvation." and Paul and Silas, recog-; nizmg that sne was aemenieu, com manded the evil spirit to come out of her, and she was restored to her right mind, and as she was thus restored he gain which was being derived rom her was lost to her masters. which angered them beyond meas ure. ; Paul and Silas Arrested j The ones who had claimed to pos sess the damsel, wnen tney saw inai hey had lost a source of profit, had Paul and Silas arrested, for they complained that they being Jews had nterfered with the business of the people who were Romans, and when j they were brought to trial at the first hearing they were whipped with rods, their clothing being torn away and so severe were the floggings of these two good men that the very flesh was split and the blood ran down to the ground and the magis trates commanded that they be thrust into the inner prison, and a special charge be given to the jailor to keep them safely, and that meant that if the prisoners should escape, the life of the jailor would be required as a forfeit, t-o the prisoners were xnrusi into the inner prison and their feet made fast in th stocks, which made it impossible for them to make their escape. The jailor was then able by keeping the keys himself, to go to sleep, and perhaps as he had neen carousing during the day, was pretty well tired out, and reposing on the outside of the jail, fell into a dose , and w?:; resting. j Earthquake Shakes the Prison j Paul and Sila. . with their wounds till bleeding from the fearful lash ing, were in jau ann ineir ieoi ia-st in the stocks, the pain from their wounds being hard to bear, but they took their troubles to the Lord, and prpved to him. even for the enemies who had placed them in prison, and sans: c;or.gs and were rejoicing in that the power of God was able to save them there or anywhere else. The other prisoners were listening to them and wondering at the Chris tianity which would allow one to re joice under the circumstances, when all at once there came a shock of an earthquake and the very foundations of the prison were shaken, the stock and hands which held these two noted prisoners were broken and they were loosed and all were freed from their fetters. Paul knowing the practices and that the jailer was responsible for the safety of the prisoners by his own life, observed the jailor, who upon awakening, supposed th prisoners hai all escaped. and immediately drew his sword and was about to take his own life. But Paul cried out in a loud voice, "Do thyself no harm, for we are all here." Thus he assured the jailor, who was respons ible to the government for the safety of the prisoners, that there was ab solutely nothing to fear. Then the jailor called for a light, and upon it being furnished went in and found the prisoners all safe, and falling down at the feet of Paul, with whose preaching he was no doubt familiar, lie cried out, "What must I do to be saved?" Not only the jailor, hut the other prisoners in the jail recognized that there was some thing most tangible in the preachir.g which these two Missionaries had been doing. Jailor Receives Christianity And so Paul made him reply. "Be lieve on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved and thy hou'-e." This was at an hour when, all the world was asleep, but the Missionar ies gladly took time to explain the way of salvation, and not alone did Paul preach the gospel to the jailor, but to all who were in the house, telling how the Master of ocean and earth and skies had given his life that all might live. The jailor was much impressed and received the teachings of Christ into his life, and at the same time brought the wonderful prisoners up from the prison into his house, where he wash ed their wounds and in turn received the baptismal rites. He also had pre pared a supper for the prisoners who had eaten nothing and were no doubt weak and hungry as a result of their trying ordeal of the day before. Thus did the jailor and his house rejoice, believing in God. whom Paul and Siias had told them of. The Apostles Released Now when morning came and the news of the wonders'of the night was told to the magistrates, they sent word to turn the prisoners loose, as they feared least they would be call ed upon to answer for their hasty action of the night before. But Paul was not thus to be thrust out priv ily, and sent word to the magistrates that they had commanded the beat ing which was given and which was contrary to the law, as they were Roman citizens and uncondemned , l- r, . r r then did the magistrates come per- sonally and br!n5 the prisoners out C'i LUC IX UUU LU1U ree. I i i Paul and Silas then went to the home of friends, where their wounds were cared for and later they de parted and went to another town, of which we shall hear about in the lesson for the succeeding Lord's day. And as a result of their teaching and suffering for righteousness' sake, ad ditional converts were added to the i fold of believers in and followers of the teachings of Christ.
