Priest, aa a "whited wall," this terra
being an expression for hypocrisy.
Paul did not know it was the high
priest who gave the e•oramand to
smite him or he would not 'lave
spoken In that way, for he would not
speak against one who occueled that
high position in the Jewish eeclesias-
tical system. Paul observed that the
Sanbedrin was composed in part of
Pharisee' and in part of Sadducces,
and took advantage of the satiation
to declare his adherence to the doc-
trines of the Pharisees, he himself
being a son of a Pharisee. lie was
celled in question because he had
preached the resurrection of Rene, lut
he declared betore the c rinell hie
faith in that doctrine. Paul's etate-
ment stirred up the antagoulem of the
Pharisees and $atiducees toward eacIt
other, and the former party deelared
that they found no evil in the pris-
oner, So great beclurie the strife be-
tween the parties- that the elitist cap•
tain ordered Paul to be taken trom
the council and returned to the castle.
IL Paul's YiSlon (v, 11). From a
natural point of YieW Paul's condition
after being brought erom. the Jewish
council to the castle of Antonia was
not pleasant nor were Ms prospecte
flattering. To be sure nothing had
beeu proved against him, but there
as a strong tide of opposition setting
in. Tbe outcome of Ms appearance
before the Sanhedrin was in a nenve a
triumph for the apostle, yet ee was
eIrtually a prisoaer and theri seemed
to be no indications of bia re.lease.
There was abundant accretion for
Stan to assault him, "He had entered
the temple and undertaken the Naza.
rite vow with a view of conelliating
the Jews, and he had only been saved
from being torn to pieces of them
through the interference of the Roman
corurnander." He could aot see in what
way he might go forward in the ful-
filment of his mission to the Genriles,
and there would naturally come to
hina the temptation to be discourageo.
Whether there did or did not, the Lord
ea -me to him and stood by him that
night, speaking words of encomage-
"pent to him. Paul has testinea tor
him in Jerusalem and be gave hien
the assurance that he would teetiliy
also in Rome. He had expressed a
desire to go to Rome (Rom. 1: 11-13),
and now the way was being opened.

cited state of mind over Paul and
were anxious to put him out of the

ably the most fanaticel in Jerusalem,

and that 'before they would eat or
drink. 14. Came to the chief priests
and elders, and said -The plotters and
the leaders of the Sanhedrin newt
have been in full accord or the former
would not have dared to disclose their
conspiracy to the chief priest and eld-
ers. 15. Ye with the council signify
--The council was invited to Din in
' the plot. Tht conapirators asked that
.body officially to request the chief
captain to bring Paul before it, and to
do it under false pretenses; for the
excuse was made that the members of
the council wished to snake further
inquiries ot him. Ready to kill him -
The Jews had no longer the right to
pronounce and execute the death sen-
tence and they did not expect the Ro-
man government would judge Paul
to be worthy of death, hence they pur-
posed to take the matter into their
own hands. 16. Paul's sister's son
heard -This is the wily reference we
have to Paul's relatives. It is possi-
ble that this sister lived in Jeruealem,
but it is more probable that her son
had been sent to Jerusalem to be
trained in the jewleh schools there.
There were so many persons engaged
in the conspiracy that it is not sur-
pristng that Paul's nephew heard of it.

his own proteetion and Was allowed

I. Enabled Paul to witnees for
Christ. Paul was in the hands of Ro-
Man authorities. The chief captain re -
.erred hits case to the eewleh Sanhe-
drin to ascertain the ause of the riot,
in reality the council had no jurisdic-
tion over the case. There being no re-
gular high priest at this time, Ananias
undertook the Often. It is evident that
Paul estimated quickly and skilfully
the character of the judges before
whom he was brought. He saw that
their paeans and prejudices were in-
flamed against him, and that Ms own
integrity was no security againet an
'unjust sentence. As he stood before
the, council. Paul's look was one oC
conscious innocence and of searching
obeervation. He did not seem to be
dizeoncerted. He rose to the occasion
end began his defence. He spoke out
of honest cinviction. Hie worde en-
raged Ananias. By Paul's claim to a
good conscience Ananias was remind-
ed of his own evil career. There was
no assumption of self-conceit in Paul's
quiet aseertion. Ilie statement was
simply the truth. Though pursuing a
mistaken course before his conversion,
he had done so honestly, aceording to
his conviction. When the revelation
of the Messiahship of Jesus came to
hie understanding and heart, cons-
cience smote him and he felt the ex-
ceeding shame of his past conduct.
Thenceforward hp had pursued the
aath in which God had directed him.
There is no reason to think that Pani
said what exceeded facts. Ananias
neyee guilty of brutal outrage. His act
'revealed the extreme corrupticta and
degradation of Jewish society. Instead
ci c:owering before the insult, Paul
nee to noble defiance. He could res -
petit the office of prieethood, but not
Rs guilty occupant. Paul's remon-
strance was worded so as to exhibit
the insult done to righteousness and
not to himself. Paul expressed no wish
for the punishment of Ananias, but
firmly declared the likelihood of .re-
tribution from God. His language was
not a bitter retort, invective or impre-
catice. Though in form a denuncia.-
tion, it was a merciful call to repent
acme. Christ .had denounced the Phar-
isees as whited eepulchers. Paul stood
for truth. He had no wish for any-
thing but 'legitimate methode of de-
fense. If Paul was to stand his ground
for.a, moment in such an assembly, it
must be by an immediate appeal to
anything friendly to be found there.
According to hie unitrom policy he
made use of the things in which he
end his hearers agreed. He saw that
though his judges were incited by
their common hatred toward him,
there were strong temente of discord
among them. It was an aet of saga-
city and policy to take advantage of
this circumstance to divide hia op-
ponents to save himself.
II. Enabled Paul to advance tOward
Rome. There was a contrast be-
tween the confusion and tumult of the
day and the quiet of the succeeding
slight. At that time when Paul was
cut off from fellowship with the dis-
ciples, the Master Himself drew near
with the cheering assurance of distin-
guished, tuture service for him. Pant
for the future. New service was the
reward for past fidelity. A new bat-
tle was the honor to be conferred for
past victories. With such assurance
nothing in Paul's outward condition
had power to obliterate his sense of
God's nearness and His infinite grace.
Human agencies, directed and control-
led by Providence, delivered Paul out
of the hands of his enemies, Paul
et:treated the malice of the Jewish
Farty and knew that nothing short of
his death would satisfy those forty
2calote, Party prejudice and unreas-
oning hatred called for heroic meas-
ures. Lysias was an unconscious
agent. Ile was only beat on extri-
cating himself from perplextng dtffi-
culties, Alarmed by the violence of
the Jews and disturbed by his own
grave mistake in threatening Paul
with ecourging, he promptly took
sters to show his respect for him as a
Roman citizen by sending him to

Pards Cable, -(New York Tienes
cable)- -Lieut.-COL RoUsset, the mill-
tary critic, says that the operations
of the coming winter campaign will
differ from those of predecessors. He
gays:
"I think I can predict that the corn-
ing winter will not be entirelY one of
stagnation and waiting on all fronts.
No doubt the sledge -hammer blows we
intend to deal will be eeparated by
greater intervals, notwithstanding that
we do not intend to remain merely in
an expectant attitude. Having every-
where seized our fee by the throat, we
intend to allow hint only as much
breathing space as the circumstanees
render inevitable."
The situation, the critic says, is no
longer what it was at the beginning of
former winter campaigns. On all
fronts the Allies, he says, have al-
ready driven in a wedge of victory,
In Picardy the Anglo-French armies
have established indubitable ascend-
ancy over the Germans, whose power-
ful counter-attaeks are contiaually re-,
pulsed and sterile* in results.
The Allies, he goes on, are no longer
playing for time, as during termer
winter campaigns, so as to store up
material and munitions for the com-
ing summer. The production of arma-
ments will certainly tend to inciease
during the coming months, but the
Allies are no longer obliged to marl;
time for it
For all these reasons, Rousset con-
cludes, it is unlikely that the ap-
proaching winter will see a total in-
terruption of fighting, as was the case

Col. Repington Sees Things
Favorable On All the
Fronts.
HEAVY KIM LOSSES
While Misery at Home
Weighs Hard Upon the
Enemy..
London Cable, ----(New York Gun
cable). -Col. Repington, the military
crate of the Theme, reviewing the
whole situation of the war, sees
things favorable for the allies on all
fronts.
"Except against Roumania, the Aus-
tro-Gerrnans and their satellites have
scored no •succeesee in many months
Past," he writes, "and have not re-
trieved any lessee. Wean east and
south they have lost great numbers of
men, and continue to lose them."
He deprecates building too much
upon the order from General von Fal-
kenhayn in reference to the great
wear and tear on German guns and
stores of munitions, which the War
Off tee has just published. He dwells,
however, upon the significance elf the
German fleet still avoiding battle, and
the increasing effect of the blockade
as reflected in German newspapers
and letters found on prisoners.
"The Germans at the front are still
fighting well," he adds, "but the ge-
iection has been marked. Where the
material and moral condition of the
people is slowly, but steadily, deteriat-
ing, anxieties regarding the next loan
are general, and the fact that German
troops have ecatinually to be sent to
all fronts to make amends for the
failures of Germany's allies provokes
bitter comment.
"When the 'yell is lifted, we shall
probably find that Germany haa suf-
fered far greater losses in men, mon-
ey, ships, credit and material than
we have any idea of, while we can be
satiated that Germany's aggressive
war has brought her as much misery
as her worst enemy could desire."
-Col. Repihgton writes confidettlY
ef the situation on the western, Ital.
Ian and Russian fronts, though he
says the accumulation of German and
Turkish troops replacing the Aus-
trians, also the approaching is/inter,
may delay General Brnsiloff.
Referring td the Balkans. he writes:
"The enemy's plan ifi to drive the
Roumanians been out of Transylvan-
ia while holding the Russians le the
Carpathians, to act defensively With
part of the Bulgarian army at the
Saloniki front, to assail Roumania
with Germane Austrian, Turkish and
Bulgarian forces on her western and
southern fronts.
"The first part of this programme
has been partially performed by driv-
ing back the Central Roumanian army

reproach of the voice divine.
"If thou couldat empty all thyself of

Like to a shell disliabited,
Then would Ile find thee on the ocean
shelf,
And say, 'Thts is not dead,'
And fill thee with Himself instead."
Personality is a burden to itself un-

"The enemy aerodrome at St. Denis

London Ca'ble.--eThe eyes of all
Europe to -night are sinxiously directed
toward the Dobrudja, where two
giant armies are engaged in a battle
the outcome of which is expected to
have a decisive effect on the whole
war in the Near East. To -night's Regi-
mentals War Office statement reads:
"On the south front in Dobrudja the
enemy has stopped his retreat and is
fortifying htmselt. We put to night
some units from the enemy's rignt
lsnemy aeroplanes bomott4(
Tchernaveda, killing seven men, of
whom two were soldiers, and also sev-
eral animals, and destroying three
houses."
According to despatches received
here to -day the halt of the Turk-Bul-
gar- German forces was not the result
of any desire of the enemy to engage
the Russo -Roumanian forces, but was
necessitated by the ccadition of the
roads, which rendered further retreat
at the present time practically impos-
Bible. Heavy rains have made the
roads almost Impassable. The greatest
difficulty is being experienced by the
enemy in moving his artillery, Food
convoys sent down the Danube from
Rustsehuk to relieve Mackensenes
forces were sunk by Roumanian ar-
tillery.
The Gorman War Office announced
this afternoon that Mackensen's Do-
brudja army "by an encircling coun-
ter-attack against the enemy's flank
and rear," drove the Russo -Rou-
manians back in disorder.
The counter-attack which Berlin
claims was sueceseful was launched at
Toprosari, 14 miles southwest of Con-
stanza.
The Bulgarian War Office said to-
day regarding the Dobrudja opera-
tions: "Our detachments are con-
solidating their positions."
The Roumanians are making pro-
gress in Transylvania. To -night's Bu-
chareet War Office report reads:
"On the north and northwest fronts
there were engagements. We took 140
priscaere anct two machine guns."
FURTHER SERE SUCCESSES.
Further Serbian and French suc-
ceeees in their drive against the Bul-
garian right in Macedonia towards
Monastir were annouuced by General
Sarrail's official report to -day, The
Serbians are advancing in the Broda
River region and the French are
pushing forward nOrth of Florina to-
ward lvionastir. A Bulgarian attaek
on Zborsky was checked by the En-
tente forces.
Bulger forces violently counter-
attacked. between the Czerna and Var-
dar Rivers to -day, but according to
the French report, were repulsed. The
Serbs in advancing on Sbreni took 100
prisoners. The French cleared the
ground northwest of Arnetsko of Bul-
garians after fierce hand-to-hand
fighting.
British rships during the last
twenty-four hours shelled the I3uIgar
positions on the east bank of the
Struma around the village of Nechori,
five miles from the coast. Artillery
duels on' the Anglo -Bulgarian fruit
are growing in intensity.

they wan more 'positions along the
line south of the Ancre.
Combles still remaine the obstacle
to art advance eastward from the
pcsitions the allies have won on the
strongly ra umefrteri°nne 1 v irlloaagde, Tjutil otheris_
mans will hold a eharp wedge in the
enemy's line.
COMBLES NEARLY ENCIRCLED,
The French are closing in on Com-
bles from three sides, while the Brit-
ish are ready to move forward on a
fourth. Fretich patrole have reached
the borders of the village on both the
south and the east, while on the west
they can push forward easily from
Leuze wood and lealfemont farm.
Until Combles surrendere it Li likely
that the British will confine their
effort to the northern line, ceutring
their blows on the Albert-Bapaume
road. They have a problem similar
to that at Combles. For Thiepva.1,

The Germans made several attempts
to day to drive back the allied lines in
counter-attacks, but theme, like all pre-
vious ones, proved futile. One was
launched west of Courcelette and pur.
posed to prevent a British advance
along the Balsam° rota On the
French front, between Combles and
Rancourt, the Germans also attacked,
but made no progress.
WIDE OPPENSIVE IMmiNleNT.
These isolated attack e are moving
forward the allied line, making easier
aisother wide offensive. There are indi-
cations that this will begin soon. All
the activity that preceded other large
attacks is proceeding on both banks of
the Somme frent.
The artillery has renewed an Intense
bombardment of the German. line. So
heavy was the British fire in one sec-
tor that ten German gun pits were
wiped gut, fourteen others bedly
damaged and five ammunition pits
destroyed. Along the whole northern
front the big guns are hammering at
the enemy's lines.
BRITISH REPORT,
London, Sept. 24. -The British offi-
cial communication issued tmortly be-
fore midnight says:
"South of the Ancre the enemy
made three attacks on our line west
of Lesboeufs, in each case he- was
driven back with losses.
"There has been considerable artil-
lery activity at many places on our
front.
"Five bombing raids were carried
out Saturday by our airmen against
railway stations and on enemy com-
• munications. Much damage was in-
flicted. In the course of an air fight
one of our aviators collided with an
.opponent, whose machine fell vertical-
• ly, Our machine fell several thousand
Ceet, when its pilot managed to regain
control and recrossed the line safely,
flying more than thirty miles with an
almost uncontrollable machine. In all
five hostile machines were destroyed
Saturday, and two others were driven
down damaged. Five of our machines
are missing."
Saturday night's statement read:
'South of the Ancre we continued
to improve our positons, pushing de-
tachments forward at places into the
enemy's advanced trenches,
"During a bombardment by our ar-
tillery of one section of the enemy's
front yesterday ten hostile gutapits
were seen to be destroyed, fourteen
others severely damaged Ittxd five am-
munition pits- blovvn up.
"To -day a big fire was enused by
our artillery in a village much used
by the enemy's transport for supply
purposes."
Saturday afternoon's report chroni-
. cled a further advante on a half -mile
front east of Courcelette, where a
fortified system of enemy trenches
vvast captured. A German counter-
attack west of Mouottet Farm was
driven back, with heavy losses.
