One of the nets of the closing wceka
of President Roosevelt's administra
tion for which he will bo remembered
by the present and coming genera
tions whoso privilege It may bo to
visit the region of the big trees of
California was the signing of the bill
creating the Calaveras National forest,
California. This act siivas for all
tlmo the most famous grovo of trees
in the world.
The people of California, particular
ly the COO women of tho California
club, have been working to interest
tho government In this wonderful
grove of big trees for moro than nine
years, but not until now hns It been
possible to arrange a plan satisfactory
alike to the -owner of the land and to
congress.
The land to be acquired under tho
bill Includes about 960 acres in what
is known as the North Calaveras
grove In Calaveras county, and 3,010
acres in the South Grove in Tuolumne
county. Tho North Grovo contains
93 big trees and in tho South Grovo
there arc 1,380 of these giant sequoias.
Any tree under 18 feet in circumfer
ence, or six feet through, is not con
sidered in tho count of large trees.
Desldcs the giant sequoias there aro
i hundreds of .sugar pines and yellow
pines of astonishing proportions, rang
ing to the height of 275 feet and often
attaining a diameter of eight to ten
feet. There are also many white firs
and inceuso cedars in the two tracts.
A government study of tho land was
made by a field party under the direc
tion of Fred G. Plummer, United
States forest service, In 190G.
The Calaveras big trees aro known
tho world over. Tho North Grovo con
tains ten trees each having a diameter
of 25 feet or over, and moro than 70
having a diameter of 15 to 25 feet.
Most of tho trees havo been named
for famous generals of tho Uni
ted States and others for statesmen

"Tho main purpose of the book of
the Acts Is to untold tho broadening
spirit and form of the church of God."
Thcodoro T. Mungcr. D. 1). "This
chapter (Acts 10) Is parallel In Im
portance with that which depleted tho
scenes of Pentlcost." David O. Mears,
D. D.
Cornelius was a centurion, corre
sponding to our captain, the bond of
a company of soldiers nuiiuierlug 100
when full. This company was part ot
'the cohort "called the Italian band,"
because mado up of Romans born In
Italy.
(1) Ho was "a devout man, and one
.Hint fenred God." The words have a
technical sense," says McGlfTort, and
Indicate that Cornelius woi&hlpod tho
God or the Jews, but wis not formally
a proselyte. (2) Ho was a good hus
band ami lather, nnd led "all his
house" In his own righteous ways. (3)
He was liberal, and "gave much alms
to tho people." (4) Ho wan not only
outwardly devout, but Inwardly pious,
and "prayed to God always. ' In those
secret prayers we may be sure, from
tho sequel, that he bought for a better
knowledge of God and of God's will,
for that Is what was given him (v. 1).
(5)Moreover (Acts 10: 22), Cornelius
cnrrled his religion Into practical af
fairs, where he was Just and fair deal
ing; and (0) as the result of It all, ho
was held In high honor by tho Jcwb
themselves (Acts 10: 22). ns well as
by the Gentiles. It would navo been
Impossible to llnd a better man for
God's purpose, or ono who would havo

"The Blxth hour" (noon) was "a set
time of devotion with plom Jews."
Gelklo. Peter had retired from his
comrades in toll, for perhaps he holped
Simon In his tannery, and nowhero
better than "upon the housetop" could
ho llnd privacy and quiet for prayer.
Tho roofs of eastern houses aro flat,
and often surrounded with a parapet
three or four feet 'high, which would
.screen Peter from observation as ho
knelt. He was "very hungry," for ho
i"probably had not yet broken his fast."
Rackham. They wero preparing
.food below, nnd perhaps the savor of
It roso to the housetop, but before
lit was ready Peter "fell Into a trnnce."
iTho Greek word for trnnce Is different
.from tho word for Cornelius vision.
A vision is something seen outsldo
ono's self; a trance Is the condition of
one's mind, that sees Inner visions.
One is not asleep, and t Is not a
dream, but a peculiar exaltation of
the Bplrlt. In thin trance Peter saw,
let down from the sky, a g-eat .Bheot,
"like "tho wind-stretched canvas of tho
craft on tho Lake of Galilee." Lumby.
It was full of anlmnlB, many of them
tho wild beasts and reptiles which tho
Jews considered unclean. Three times
n mysterious voice bade Peter rl'so
from his knees and slay and cat tho
shocking food, threo times ho refused
Jn horror, threo times ho was bidden
to make nothing unclean that God
luul cleansed by bidding him partako
of it, and then tho great uhoct was
lifted and disappeared In tho sky.
The messengers from Cornelius
"had mado Inquiry for Simon's houso"
(tho Greek word implies a careful
search through tho streets), and while
Peter wns meditating on his vision,
they wero even then-nt tho gate, and
calling for him. lleforo word of his
visitor could reach liltn, tho Holy
Spirit in somo way made Peter con
scious of their coming, nnd bade him
go with them.
Tho outstretched shoot which Poter
'saw In his vision signified tho whole
iworld, nnd tho four corners symbol
ized the directions, north, south, cast
and west, In which tho gospel was to
bo carried. Tho contents or tho sheet
showed that all men wero to bo
'reached, the lowest races as well as
tho highest, savage and civilized, poor
4ind rich, ignorant nnd wise. It was a
perfect symbol of foreign missions.
From overy nation on earth Immi
grants are pouring into tho United
StateB at tho rate of more t'inn a mill
.Ion a year. America Is tho modern
equivalent of tho sheet of Peter's
.vision, full of clean nnd unclean, men
of all languages, beliefs, customs, help
ful and hurtful, blessings nnd
scourges. Tho'work of horn;? missions
Is to bellevo In all these, love them all,
and win them all for Jesus Christ.
Peter obeyed promptly and gladly,
taking ono Btep townrd fellowship
with tho Gentiles by entertaining tho
threo messengers over night In SI
jiion's houso. The cause of Ihls obedi
ence: (1) Tho Influenco of his own
vision, (2) coupled with that of Cor
nelius matching it with evident super
natural design, (3) together with tho
Influenco of tho Holy Spirit upon his
mini, and (4) tho memory of Christ's
prophecies of.tho world-wide spread of
his church. Tho character of Cor
nelius, as reported by tho messengers,
Jiolped him to a decision. Evidently,
also, he consulted with friends.
A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE
Of Painting Requirements Will Savo
Much Expense.
When ono sees tho surface of n.
hotiBo or other bulldlug scaling, or
peeling, or spotted or blistered, or
showing other symptoms of paint "dis
ease," It Is evident that a poor pnlntor
hns been on the Job, and that poor
pnlnt was used or possibly that a
good painter had been dominated by
a property-owner who knew nothing
about paint.
It Is an easy mntlcr to bo Informed
on paint and painting. A complete
painting guide, Including a book of
color schemes, either for exterior or
Interior specifications for all kinds
of painting, nnd an Instrument for
doted lug adulteration in paint ma
terial, with directions for using It,
may be had free hy writing National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity llldg.,
New York City, and asking for House
owner's Painting Outlll No. 49.
Then, every houseownor should
mnko It n point to get only well
known rcllahlo brands In buying his
materials. Pure white lead Is espe
cially Important, or tho pnlnt will
not provo satisfactory. Tho famous
"Dutch Hoy Painter" trndomark of
National Lead Compnny, the lnrgest

soluto guarantee of tho purity nnd
quality of tho white lend sold under
