They crept around the house and were skirling the hedge when sud­ denly movement behind a tree brought them to a halt. "I—I ain't gwine to fiah no gun!” A tremulous voice spoke out of the darkness. "Rip” .Miles exclaimed. "Yonre some watchman!” "Lordy!” Rip advanced and add­ ed sheepishly: "1 thought it was dem two again. "What two?” demanded Scottie. "Dunno.” Rip mumbled. "Two fellers came through here de yonder night—-an’ I ordehs dem away an' •'ays de nex’ time dey come back I’se gwine to shoot." "What did they look like?” But Rip could give no further in­ formation and the two detectives withdrew. Miles looked up the house and re­ tired. The family breakfasted late on Sunday and Carter was well enough to serve them but he came out to the detective who was helping in the pantry and asked: "William, will you go up to Patricia’s door and tell her folks are waiting for her?” Miles hurriedly descended knocked upon Patricia’s door but no reply came to him and after repeat­ ing the summons again and again he ventured to. turn the knob.

BOVAY Sunday School teacher and' Christian were doing this consistently. The world-wide revival for which so many are praying would break out in a baptism of fire and blessing. Paul knew that more persecution and afflictions lay ahead, but. "none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and tlig ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testi­ fy the gospel of the grace of God.” He warned of the. “grevious wol- •ves” false religious teachers, who should come among them after he had left; such false teachers have been devastating the Church of God from that day to this. The verses describing the final parting of Paul and these Christian friends are very touching, as we read how they kneeled down and. prayer together, and. how the tears came, strong men though they doubt­ less were, as they embraced their be­ loved apostle and teacher in their farewell. Paul’s militant contend­ ing for the faith was done in such love that all who were not his open enemies must have, loved him. His personal relationships with many in­ dividuals who are named in the New Testamnt were very beautiful and very "human.” God wants devoted, Spirit-filled Christians to be more loving and lovable than any other people in the world. Let many believe that consecrat­ ed and Spirit-filled apostle though he was, Paul missed God’s guidance and unwittingly disobeyed God in going to Jerusalem. If this was so, surely there is a warning in it to all of God’s people to bo sensatively careful and eager to ascertain His will at every point. In Acts 21:4 we read that certain disciples "said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.” This apparently was a plain command from God. Warn­ ings of what should befall Paul if he went to Jerusalem were given both before and after this (Acts 20: 23>; 21:11). Such predictions of coming prosecution should not, of course, have kept Paul from going if God was sending him; he was ready for persecution or him to that. But to go seems plain, read that the Lord ed Paul to keep away from Jerusalem Apparently^Paul carried out his last journey to Jerusalem in mistaken zeal and devotion, but not in any consciousness of wrongdoing. Yet the Lord never left him;. His word has never been withdrawn from His disciples; ‘Lo, I am with you alway.’ •uficrer fa .ves’ has Roy A, "I wish I could tell eve.;, the world what ‘Fruit-k done for me," writes hl Bovay, Trenton, Ont.

Roger was almost furtively regard­ ing his brother. Finally he asked,' with an embarrassed cough: "You will call, Andrew, no doubt?” “Why should I?” The other looked up coolly and then added with a short laugh, "I had almost forgotten her existence. Has she changed much?” “Not in appearance; a little stouter, perhaps,” Miss Drake ans­ wered hastily with a slight frown. “She is coining for tea this noon, so you will be able to for yourself.” It was late afternoon when swer to the summons of the door­ bell he admitted the or. She was a stout, ed woman of middle ing hair slicked back a small, stiff hat and a pair of shell- rimmed glasses athwart the bridge of an inquiring nose. “My dear Ora! It is indeed a pleasure to welcome your return!” Miss Drake greeted her with a cool kiss on her cheek and turned to Miles: "William, call Miss Patricia, please, and Mr. Roger. I think you will find Mr. Andrew in the garden. Scottie and Andrew were standing deep in consultation over by the summer-house and he had started toward them when he saw the visit­ or descending the steps of the side verandah. Her smile was somewhat grim as she advanced.. “How do you do, Andrew? Am I the last of your old friends—?” "Ora!" Andrew Drake had wheel­ ed with her first word and held: out his hand. Then he drew it back with an apologetic shrug for its be- grimmed state. He was coatless in the balmy spring sunshine and both shirtsleeves had been rolled to the elbow, but now he started hastily to pull them down. She noted the ac­ tion and even from where he stood the detective could see the 'deep flush which mounted suddenly to her fat, round face. “Andrew!” Her nasal tones were oddly broken and confused. “You really recognized me, then?

"You're sure she’s gone, William?” “Didn't I say the bed hadn’t been slept in?” Miles returned. “Where are you going?” “To tell Hitty,” Carter called back over his shoulder. With surprising agility consider, ing his ^ailment, he darted through the farther door. Hobart Drake was seated at his desk sealing an envelope as Miles entered in response to his ring.

And, so as Paul met with his dear Christian friends, the elders of the Church of Ephesus, realizing that he and they were seeing one another for the last time in this life, he could speak to them with humility, but truthfully concerning his minis.- try among them. I’anl humility-—that is not all. There is a false which a man thinks so himself that he is proud of his hu­ mility. Humility never thinks of one’s self at all, but can tell the truth about one’s self in utter self- forgetfulness, with the mind and heart fixed upon God and the won­ ders of His grace even to one’s own life. This is what Paul did. The verses in Chapter 20:17-35 should be read with closest attention in home preparation and. in the class In them, Paul shows that he was not afraid, to have his record exam­ ined in greatest detail. He told how continually he had done the Lord’s will among them, with tears, and in the midst of testings and per­ secution, yet he kept back nothing that the Ephesians needed to knotv1', but taught them publicly and in their homes the life-and-death neces­ sity of “repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.’ Would that every minister, every Many women become weak and run down and unable to look after their household' duties owing to the hearfc action becoming impaired or the nervous system unstrung.
