warns.
1. "After these things Paul departed
from Athens and came to Corinth." Hie
testimony was not in vain at Athens, for
;some clave unto him and believed. See pre-
elious verse. He did not expect that all
the seed would fall on good soil; neither
•are we so taught. But he did know that
God's word would accomplish His pleasure
and not return void, and that his labor was
not in vain in the Lord (Isa„ iv, 11; I Cor,
xv, 68). His aim was "by all means to save
some" (1 Cor. ix, 22), and this he accom.
;dished. The church of Christ is made up
of an elect number out of all nations, given.
unto Him out of this world (ReV. v, 9; Eph,
1, 4; John xvii, 0), and to this end we, like
Paul, should seek to get the gospel every.
where.
2. "And found a certain Jevet named
Aquila, born in Pontes, lately come from
Italy with his wife Priscilla (because that
Claudius had commanded all Jews to de.
part from Rome), and came unto them."
We cannot help remarking that after 1,80(
yoars the Jews are still commanded to de•
part from cities and countries on the face
of the earth. It is the same sad old story
as in the days of Paul. It is the fulfillment
of words spoken through Moses over 8,00(
years ago. See Dont, xxviii, 63-66. But i1
the curse has come so literally and so fully
the blessing shall also come, and "the days
of their mourning shall be ended," "for Ht
that scattered Israel will gather him," and
the time is even now at hand (Isa. lx, 20, 21;
Jer. xxxi, 10; Ezek, xxxvii, 21, 22).
3. "And because ho was of the same craft
be abode with them and wrought, for by
their occupation they were tentmakers."
While Paul believed and taught that they
who preach the gospel should live of tht
gospel (,I Cor. ix, 14), he also took pleasure
in working at his trade that he might min•
ister to his own necessities and give the gos
pel freely (Acts xx, 84; I Cor. iv, 11, 12;
These. 11, 9; II Thess. iii, 8). It is a great
advantage under some circumstances to be
able to do this now and thus stop the
mouths of those who say of the preacher,
"It is his business; he makes a good thine
out of it." I ala glad that I had three
gears' experience of ministering to my ne
cossities byworking seven hours a day, that
I might freely give all the rest of my time
to distinctively religious work.
4. "And he reasoned in the synagogue
every Sabbath and persuaded the Jews and
the Greeks." Ile doubtless did as at Thee
salonica and reasoned out of the Scriptures
opening and alleging that Christ must
needs have sufi'eredand risen again from
the dead, and that this Jesus is the Christ
(chapter xvii, 2, 8). From his couversiox
his one story was that .;esus is the Christ
the Sun of God (chapter ix, 20-22).
G. "And when Silas and Timothous wen
come from.Macedonia; Paul was pressed it
the spirit and testified to the Jews that
Jesus is the Christ." The R. V. says that
he was "constrained by the word." Till:
reminds us of Jeremiah, who, when th
word of the Lord was made a reproach unit
Aire and a derision daily, said he weetld not
speak any more in I1ie name, but the wore
of God was such a fire in his heart that In
was constrained to speak (Ser. xx, 8, 9).
6, "And when they opposed themselves
and blasphemed he shook his raiment
and said unto them, Your blood be upon
your own heads; I am clean; from hence
forth I will go unto the Gentiles." It war
his custom everywhere to preach the gos
pel to the Jew fleet (Ram. i, 16) and then tt
the Gentile. Compare their conduct at
.Antioch in Pisidia (Acts xiii, 46, 46)
When any one 18 duly, warned of danger
and refuses to take 1•eed, his blood is or
himself (Ezek. xxxiii, 4, 6). Those who
obey not the gospel shall be punished wits
everlasting destruction (II 'Tess. i, 8, 0)
As to shaking one's raiment see Neh. v,13
1. "And he departed thence and enterec
into a certain tnan's house named Justus
one tbat worshiped God, whose house joiuec
bard to the synagogue." When.one door h
shut, another is sure to open, and some
times, as ip this case, next door to the ons
closed against us. When the Lord opens t
door for us, no power can shut it, and whet
a house or city is closed against us or ou;
message we have only to move on in 1Iit
name (Rev. hi, 8; Math. x, 14). Ibis not ui
that they ill treat, but Flim whose message
we bear (Luke x, 16).
8. "And Orispus, the chief ruler of the
synagognc, believed on the Lord with at
his house, and many of the Corinthian:
hearing believed and were baptized." 'Tie
chief ruler cannot always control the othw
rulers, whether he be president of a ne
tion, mayor of a city or only ruler of i
synagogue, but the time will come whet

Comment by,Itev. S. Ii. Doyle.
Toi xc..--T'ellowship in work, Acts xvili,
John xvii, 20-i.
Fellowship is emphasized in the Socip-
turo in all relations of life --fellowship
in joy, "Rejoice with them that do re-
joice;" fellow ship in sorrow, "'Weep with
them that weep;" fellowship in burden
bearing, "Bea:; ye one another's bur -
dons." As Christian people aro to unite
in sorrow, joy and burden -bearing, so
there is to be co-operation in labor-fel-
lowehip in work..
1. An illustration of fellowship in
work (Acts xviii, 8), Departing from
Athens, Paul has come to Corinth. Here
he becomes acquainted with Aquila,
who had lately come from Rome. because
of tho persecution of Claudius, Aquila
was a tentmaker by trade, and so was
Paul; therefore they abode together that
they might ply their trade togother-fel-
towebip in work. It was a natural and
pleasant thing for them to do, and their
experience is often repeated. Men of the
same trade work together. This was'
fellowship in physical labor, but there
should also be fellowship in spiritual
labor. Christ commended such fellow-
ship; for He sent out the disciples not
alone, but two by two. Paul always had
a companion with hien in his travels for
upbuilding Christ's kingdom. Such ex-
amples may well be emulated. There is
much that is pleasant and beneficial in
work of suck a character.
2. Fellowship in work -how made pos-
sible (John xvii, 21)? This .inquiry may
be answered by one sentence: Union
with Christ. In the reference quoted
Christ is praying for the disciples -just
before His crucifixion. He prays "that
they may all be one, as Thou, Father, art
in Me and I in Theo; that they may be
also one with Us." Union with Christis
necessary to successful individual work.
"As the branch cannot bear fruit of its
self except it abide in the vine, no more
can ye except ye abide in Mo." Ii eibch
member of the Christian church or:com
mtlnity or organization abide in Christ,
then they can work profitably and suc-
cessfully together not only as colaborers,
but also "as workers together with Rim."
'Without personal union with 'Christ
there cannot be this fellowship in work.
• 8. The result of Christian fellowship
in work (John xvii, 21). It commends
Christianity to :;len of the world and
influences many to believe on Christ.
Unity always adds strength. Divieion
adds weakness. If there was more union
of viowe, of affections and efforts among
the disciples of Christ today, it would
furnish increasing evidence of the divine
excellence of His religion and lead in-
creasing numbers to embrace it. Let us
have, therefore, rnoro fellowship in
work. •

Senior Caristian Endeavor. •
In what sphere can the senior depart-
ment be of nee? It can make the mid-
week services of the church its special
solicitude. It ought to do this without
any a aceompanitt1e1it of machinery. )lnkl-
ing its meetings for business only, at
other times its Members cr.n go to this
cervico as any one. else goes, and then
ia.nostentatiously but persistently apply
the principles of tho Christian. Endeavor
pledge to the opportunity of the hour,
Where this is wisely done the sealers
will not excite jealousies and antago-
nisms, but will create for themselves at
welcome.
Beyond this special eerv-i$e itis not too
inaalt to hope and predict that the church-
es will gradually welcome the applica-
tion of Cln`istian Endeavor ' principles
to all their activities. These principles
unclerlie all Christian work and by the
force of their inherent reasonableness•
have the right of general application.
Our missionary women have realized the
wisdom of reclueiug their organizations
-one for foreign rand the other for home
. work -into one organization, working at
will in either direction, and the day
draws on apace when' the church will
foster the Christian Endeavor society as
a central organization, subordinate to its
self and will do through it its manifold
work. -Golden Rule.
