Joan and Betty's Bible Story: Paul at Ephesus by Mr. E.R. Appleton, West Regional Director

The adventures of St. Paul included in this story are given in the Acts, Chapter xix, verse 21, to the end of Chapter XX. Opposition to Paul's teaching is organized by Demetrius, a silversmith, who saw that the new teaching threatened to destroy the livelihood of the crafts-men who made silver shrines for the goddess Diana. The mob is dispersed by the Town Clerk of Ephesus. Before setting out for Jerusalem, Paul preaches to the disciples and brings back to life the young man Eutychus. He leaves the Christians of Ephesus 'sorrowing that they should see his face no more.'

An appeal on behalf of the Royal Hamadryad Seamen's Hospital by Sir William Seager, D.L., J.P., Chairman of the Committee

In 1866, as a result of representations made to the Admiralty, an old man-of-war called Hamadryad was lent to Cardiff to be used as a hospital ship for seamen. She lay on the west. side of the Canal at the Docks and was used for that purpose for nearly forty years.
In 1905 the present Hospital was built and the patients were transferred to the new buildings.
Special permission was granted by His Late Majesty King Edward VII to name the Institution the 'Royal Hamadryad Seamen's Hospital,' in honour of the Diamond Jubilee of the late Queen Victoria.
The present Hospital contains three wards and side wards with 69 beds for patients in all. There is also an Out-Patient Department, where all accidents to dock workers brought to the Hospital are given first-aid and dressings. Seamen of all nations are admitted, and last year 32 different nationalities were treated.
It is one of the very few hospitals in the United Kingdom devoted solely to seamen and it is supported entirely by voluntary contributions.
