INTRODUCTION—After the riot at Ephesus, occasioned by Demetrius, •Paul left the city and proceeded Mace- donia to Greece. Having thus reach- ed the farthest .point of his Third MisSionary Tour, he planned to re- turn again by Macedonia and Asia to Jerusalem. The return journey was remarkable for more than one reason. First, Paul's mind was deeply im- pressed by the conviction that God' had now a special purpose for him in going to Jerusalem. Secondly, he was equally sure that suffertng and ,trial awaited him there. In city after city the Christian prophets, speaking .in the • Spirit, were announcing . that "bonds and afflictions," that is, im- prisonment and. persecution, were de- stined to befall their beloved apostle. But, as Paul himself -said, his own life was of little importance. compared with the task of finishing •the apos- tolic task which the Lord Jesus Christ had given hinato do. . • A deep seriousness, therefore, a foreboding of danger, characterizes the close of the Third .Missionaey Tour. Paul desired to see and to ad- dress some parting counsels to the elders of Ephesus, but as time did not perrnit a visit to Ephesus itself, he decided to ask the elders to meet him at the neighboring port of Miletus. There he delivered the pastoral charge which forms our lesson to -day. It is one of the most affecting of his utter- ances, and throws a splendid light on the fine Christian charcter and pas- toral devotion of the great apostle. I. PAUL .WARNS OF SERIOUS TIMES COM- ING, 25-30. V. 25. Paul is convinced' that none, of these presbyters of Ephesus will see his face again. The happy days dur- ing which he preached the kingdom of God are over. What he says now must be of the nature of a last address. •Vs. 26, 27. He protests solemnly to the elders that he has never allowed any motives of fear or favor to pre- vnt him teem dclarinft to them "the' whole counsel of God.Consequently, if any of the Ephesian people have remained impenitent to the so_ern.n. call of Christ, it is not his fault. He is ink responsible for the "blood" of any, that is, for any one's losing his V. 28. For this reason, Paul earn- estly exhorts the elders to a serious discharge of their pastoral duties. The Holy Spirit of God has called em o "s ep " g of the souls a Cheist'e people. They are therefore responeible to God for these spills, and must nem! forgret that Christ gave his lif.e.for the 'she.ep, even the humblest of theme • . Vs. 29, 30. What, enakes Paul so urgent in pressing these duties cell the Ephei sian elders s that he fore- ' sees a double danger threatening the spiritual life of the Christians of Ephesus. (1) A danger from with - 1 Children's Coughs and Colds Can Be Relieved By Dr. Wood's Even as you and I. out; fierce "wolves" gettiug in and de- stroying the flack. Hero the reference probably is ter Jewish antagonists, who will raid the- church with their re- actionary teachings, and engineer per- secutions against the Christians, thin tempting the weak to fall away froni Christ. (2) A danger from within; false teachers rising with- in the Chris- tian community itself. Here the ref- erence is probably to those who will argue that Christians do not need to keep aloof from idolatry or from the organized heathen guilds, thus men- acing the purity of Christian life. A glance at a letter written to Ephesus some years later (Rev. 2:1-'7), will show that these warning were not unneeded. 11. PAUL COUNSELS TQ SEL5'-8ACRIFICING mama, 31-88. • • • V. 31. The Epluanan elders must, therefore, "Watch" or keep their eyes open, remembering how for three years, Paul himself had watched -for their souls, stinting 'himself of sleep, and .grudging no pains or "tears" that they might lay hold of the king -- done of 'God, • . V. 32. Their strength and stay must be the power and grace of God him- self.

Paul reminds the elders of his own ixample at Ephesus. He had never sought or taken payment for his preaching or apostolic labors. What- ever Money he needed for himself or his coMpanions was earned by his own manual labor. : , V. 35. Above all, the elders have the example of the Lord Jesus Christ binumAf. Jesus came not to be served, but to serve (Mark 10:45), and said: "It is more blessed to give than to receive." This is the only place in the New Testament where this great word of Jesus is recorded. It is not men- tioned in any of the gospels. • Vs. 86-38.. At the parting, Paul kneels down and prays with the eld- ers. Then he takes his evay to the ship. Loud demonsrtations of grief break from all as they take farewell of the great apostle, whom they are never to see -again. Thanksgiving.

A CURSE FULFILLED One of the oldest families in Eng- land is that of the Tichborues, which has held. for at least eight hundred years its anceatral seat on the river Itchen in southern England. Fifty peensago tb.e name of Tichborne was familiar to everyone, on account of the remarkable suit in which a man who asserted that he, was the long -lost heir to the family estates. tatted to make good his claims, -The case last- ed for months and' was the newspaper sensation of the day. The claimant was at last found to be an imposter, but it cost the Tichbornes nearly half a -million dollars in fees and exaeuees to prove their case. The family is famous ,too, for the anoient dole, or gift of bread, that the head of the family has distributed on Lady Day—the 25th of March—to the poor of the pariah, for hundreds of years. There has been one break in. 'the practice, and it is about that break that one of the most extraordinary stories of a legendary curse fulfilled centres. The tradition is that Dame Mabel, • the wife of a certain Roger de Tich- borne, who lived twenty generations • ago, desired ori Tier deathbed to leave some charitable provision for the worthy poor of the neighborhood, Her husband was lese generous, but at her solicitation he agreed to dispense each year the product of as much land as she could crawl around on her hands and knees. The poor old lady, who aeemecl too weak to get Out of bed, • nevertheless • summoned tip strength enough to crawl laboriously round a piece of land twenty-three acres in ex- tent before the fell.senseless sad dy- ing at her husband's feet. 'that field is called "the Crawls" to this day. The unwilling Roger de Tichboene was' man enough to keep his end of , the bargain, and he and his deseend-. ants eontinned to distribute a getter- ou,e quantity of bread to -the poor on each returning Lady Day. As the years passed the dole became a fa- mous institution, and it gradually ate tracted to the neighborlmod eaeli year a crciwd of sturdy beggars, vagab.oncle ahd lawless characters, whet .beearee 'such. a nuisance that the local magis- trates filially ineisted that Sir I4enry Tichberne, then the head ot the tate- 'ily, cliecottinue the dole. That Was in 1794. Now a part ot the old traditiot was that Dame Mabel had pronounced a wee upon any member of the family who should CORSO to eOretiene the an - 'mai alma The curse deelared that In ettch a case ,a family of seven Sons would be followed by one of seven daughters ,when the name would be extinguished and the old home of the family would fall. Sir Henry, who gave up the dole at the magistrate's request, did actually have seven sons, and his eldest son did 'have seven. daughters. Five of Henry's sons died unmarried or left no sons. The third son, Edward, succeeded to tbe barony In 1335 and at once resumed the prac- tise of the dole, limiting it however to the poor of the parrishes of Tick- borne and Cheriton. The fourth SOD, James, who eventually succeeded, had two sons, one born before the dole was reinstituted and the other after that event, The son who was barn before the dole was begun again died. He who was born. after hived and is the ancea- tor of the present Sir Roger Tioh- borne. Moreover, in 1802, a few years • after the dole was abandoned, a part of the old family mansion did fall, the rest was pulled down. and a new home was built on the same sitge. These facts are all attested by the best of evidence and offer perhaps tb.e only proved instance of a legendary "curse" being fulfilled to the letter. The dole is no longer in the forna of bread loaves, but about •one hundred bushels of flour are given away to those who apply for it—a Measure of four quarts to each adult and a half measure to each child.
