1. The Book of Acts describes him as."a Pharisee. doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people." ". 2. When Peter and John were under arrest, he "com- manded to put the apostles forth a little space."
3. Time, he explained, would test their teaching; if it was of men, it would come to nothing, if God, it could not be overthrown.
4. Stilling a Jewish mob that sought to kill him, the Apostle Paul told them that he had been brought up at the feet of this man and there "taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers."

1. His manner of teaching differed radically from that prevalent in his time in being more authoritative.
2. He received so little formal education that some, though deeply impressed by his teaching, believed he had never been taught letters.
3. A certain ruler of the Jews once came to him say- ing, "We know that thou art a teacher sent from God."
4. To-day his teachings are recognised as having, set the highest standard of all time,

Most novel point in the con- struction of these planes is that the engine is behind the pilot. This allows the pilot to see better where he is going, and makes the plane easier to manoeuvre at high speeds-1

Chief armament of the Airncobra is a 37mm; quick- firing cannon (C), and the feature to note about this is that it fires right through the centre of the propeller boss.

The propeller actually re- volves round a hollow shaft
through which passes the gun barrel (D). The twin ma- chine-guns (E) in each wing complete the armament.
Still another novel point about this plane is that there is an additional landing wheel to the two normal retractable wheels which you can see in the sketch, just being lowered from cach wing.
That third wheel, which tucks away under the nose of the Airacobra, is claimed to give greater stability and safely in ♫ difficult high speed landing.

His own life has not been easy. He was born in the Somerset- shire village of Winsford 50 years. ago. He went to wait at the age of eleven on a farm, and at a wage of sixpence a week. Later, he drifted to Bristol, and got a Job ns o carter driving a milk funt for a restaurant.
In Bristol he also found his career. He became Interested In trade unionism, and joined the carter's section of the local branchi of the Dockers' Union.
He was soon a minor official and attruct- ing the attention of the pioneer unionist Ben Tillett, who adylɛod him to take up union organisation. as a full-time job,
The advice was taken. Bevin became successively branch secre- tory, district secretary, national organiser, and assistant general Secretary of the Dockers' Union. Ho Art came to London after the war to assist in the amalggination of the Transport Workers Union and the Transport Workers' Federation.

The case he put was masterly, compelling

and
The clockers got, their rise, and Ernest Bovin won the well-earned title of the "Dockers K.C." It has never been forgotten.
"You should read for the Dar," a famous barrister told him after- words. "No," Bevin replied, "I can only argue with conviction when I am sincere."
It was ho exaggeration, and later in the year his sincerity and conviction led him to clash with the man under whose Premiership he serves to- day, in what was probably the most powerful threat to a govern, ment ever undertaken by the la bour and Industrial movement in Britain.
In a flery speech at the Dockers' Union Conference In May he pioneered the Councils of Action which stopped the war of inter- vention against Russia, then being organised by Mr. Winston Chur-
at the War Office. Winston Churchill and Ernest Bevin crossed swords again six years later in the General Strike, the one as Char- cellor of the Exchequer, the other as a member of the Strike Organi- sation Committee.

has been at- tacked fron the right, he has been attacked from the left. He does not pull his punches. As a negotiator, who is probably second to none in the history of Labour, he has, always used the strike weapon as sparing- ly na possible.
Of all the members of the TU.C., Ernest Bevin has been the Jeast given to making political speeches. The strong speech he made on May Day this year was, therefore, all the stronger. It had two results. It hastened the re- organisation of the government, for Bevin's voice is a powerful one, and he speaks for half a million men organised in the largest trade union in the world. It also made his inclusion in any new govern- ment almost inevitable.
Such Is Ernest Bevin, Minister of Labour. Warm-hearted, capable, shrewd, and hard-hitting. His first speech after his appointment was forthright and to the point-typical of Bovin.
"I hope the War Cabinet will not allow vested interests, profits, or anything else to stand in the way of maximum production. If this is the policy of the Government, I will ask my people to work like bell to save the lives of our lads,”
