I. The VISION AT TROA$, 9-11. IT. A CBIUROIi BY THLI RIYERSIDA, 12-15. INTRODUCTION -The council at Jer- usalem cleared the air, and the way now lay open for Paul to make fel*, they adventures hi » ia'sionery work, But at the outset there UMW a differ - once, or "sharp contention,” Acts 1,4: 39, The immediate cause was the tin - Willingness of Paul to take Mark who had turned back during the first jour- ney; but it is possible that behind this lay some further realgn; and that Paul felt that ono with full Roman (citize t- ehip like Silas would be more suitabley for the campaign in heathen territor. erns 1 Silas 'belonged to the e J a em church, wire In high standing and 'was equipped in nary ways. Ata later time he .acted as secretary for. Peter and helped considerably in the.cornpo- sition of the first letter which Peter sent to the churches of Asia Minor. These men pass hurriedly through the seenes of the first campaign en South' Galatia, where they found the smell Christian communities in a flourishing state. They ,choose Tim. othy, a convert of Lystra, as a com- panion, and start west with the mani- fest purpose of going to Asia, but` the Spain forbids them and' they then turn north •intending to ,enter the Province of Bithynia, where there was a eon- eiderabie papulation of Jews, but again they are stopped, and they therefore come to Troas, on the Hel- lespont, which :is to be the starting point for the new conquests. . THE VISION AT TROAS, 9.11. V, 9. At this time Macedonia was an extensive province including not only Macedonia but Thessaly, Illyri- curn and Greece. The vision which Paul receives at Troas was one of the ways in which he obtained divine di- rection for his future actions. and he now gets an explanation of the many hindrances which had been placed in his attempts to go elsewhere. There comes over him a great feeling of re- lief as he realizes that his plans are made clear, and that he is now to seek a new scene for his labors in Mace- donia. It was the peace which all people feel who have been confused as to their duties and plans and sud- denly have all things made clear to them• V. 10. It is evident from the way in which the divine agency is mentioned' thrice in four verses that the author regards this mission as of the first importance. But, the significance of this has been differently explained. Some call attention to the geographi- cal importance in that the gospel pass- es now from Asia to Europe. The apostle is now, for the first time, on the great highway that leads ultimate- ly to Rome. The church is to be now planted in Europe, whch is henceforth to hint the great scene of Christian victories. Others seek for the signifi- cance not in geography but in the grammar of Acts. The personal pro- noun "we" now appears, and it is suggev-tive that at this point Luke joined the company and now begins to describe what he had himself seen.' Henceforth we meet this personal note in several chapters. V. 11. The sea journey was short and without any important incident. I oke has'a liking for geographical narrative and he here says that the was straight, implying that the winds were favorable. Samothrace was a•• intro*tent island, where they prob- ably rested for the night, while Nea- polis is to be distinguished from the much more famous Naples of Italy. IT. A rnir'acu B1 THE RIVERSIDE, 12-15. V. 12. Paul carries on a mission in three different cities, and most effec- tiJally in Philippi. This city had been founded by Philip the great king of Macedonia on the banks of the river Gangitis. The surrounding plain was fertile and the neighborhood was rich In mineral's. Here also was a military settlement or colony, consisting of dis- banded soldiers to whom grants of land had been made, and who would inspire the native population with res- pect for the rule of the Empire. Paul being himself a Roman citizen was specially fitted to bring this new gos-I peel of Christ to this class of people, and we know from the letter he wrote to this church how well he succeeded in winning the affection of the people.! V. 13. The Jews here were evidently: few in number and were unable to have a synagogue for their worship,. so that the small number of .Yews had to be content with an outdoor place of worship, whack they diose near' the river for the &oke of those litstratlons Which formed part of the service, The audience eolieleted Meetly of evoineil who welcomed Paul when he came, 59 wee hie custom, to the plaoo Where, hie 'awn people worshipped, One of these women wad a remarkable char- , It would seem as 11 she was leonductiag a .buslinesa in her oW.I1 name, Lydia was a oily in Aela Europe, -Acts lVftaar famm edfor the enafeeture a# purple dye. Inscriptions have been discovered in which mention Is made ;of a guild of purple selers. It is prob-- !able that this woman took her name from this city, and that she represent - led some firm from Lydia. She had evidently joined the Jewish. Church, e and had becoma leading member, It ,was to be exported that one pf her open mind would be the first to wel- eome the message of Paul. This is beautifully described in v. 15, "Whose heart the Lord opened," I V. 15, Her household' is baptized. This may have included the .slaves Who worked fel her, or the bleed peo- ple eaple whom she:had,with her. It is prob- able that she would select.such as were in "sympathy with her religious views. Perhape the names of some of these are mentioned in Phil, 4: 2, 3. She in- vites Paul and his companions to be her guests. Thus far the missionary les' had followed their usual custom of supporting themselves with their own hands, and of hiring their- own lodging. Paul was a tentmaker; Luke was a physician. The letter which Paul wrote to the church at. Philippi is full of tender feeling, ani} shows how kind these people nius't have been to these missionaries of the cross. On , the Road to Mandalay RANGOON Scarcely have the sun's rays reveal- ed the jeweled glory of the great Shwa Dragon's golden crown when the Miles ct docks along the yellow river break into a seething activity that continues until well into the tropic night. As many craft as throng the Huang-pu at Shanghai' or the Hoogly at Calcutta , struggle withthe strong tidal cur- rents which sweep ever past the long :Rangoon water. front. The sampan threads a laborious way through the maze of vessels from all the East and most of the world, drifting up or down stream with the violent tide faster than it can be propelled across the narrow river. The far -come liner tugs at her double moorings as the flood of turgid water surges against 'her. And the broad paddle wheels of a dozen river craft splash wildly as the Irrawaddy fleet puts off and heads for the canal entrance which is the gateway of the road to Mandalay. For myself I have chosen one of the smaller- craft which my 'ricksha man has found with considerable difficulty' in the turmoil of the river front, and only just in time. And once more I find myself in the not unsatisfactory position of being the sole European passenger, for this is a little river boat which. touches at many villages through the delta and along the tribu- taries of the winding Irrawaddy. She is not unlike the stern -wheeler upon which I made the Bagdad-Basrah trip down the Tigris a few months ago, but there is no further comparison, for this throng of gayly adorned and smil- ing Burmese is as different to the grave and silent Arabs as the vivid color along the Irrawaddy is in sharp contrast to the dull monotone of the Arabian desert. There is no doubt of their friendship as I walk among them, and this is strengthened beyond the possibility of a rupture as I buy several handfuls of the native sweet- meats for the bright-eyed children who crowd around rne. For such Europeans as may chance to travel by this leisurely and time- scorning means a small space is pro vided on the upper deck at the tip of the bow. This, with a table and a few chairs, is partitioned off from the rest of the crowded steamer. If one's journey be through the night he must provide his own equipment, but he will be undisturbed and quite comfort- able. Moreover, fare of such sort as he may supply will be prepared for him by the ship's cook on a small stove at the stern "reserved for Euro- peans." Then, too, there is a "can- teen" canteen" of sorts where plenty of fruit is procurable, together _ with a variety of edibles, some familiar and more interestingly mysterious. Bottles cryptically labeled "limonade" are cooled by a generous supply of ice, and of filtered water there is enough to provide for everyone on board, A Caird Spieet SKIPPER WHO WON YACHT RACE Captain Barr who piloted the Yacht "Elena" 'across the Altantio to win. I find, that my interest in natives does not permit me to remain long in the' Privacy of the !'first class" space. This is my first actual contact with the Burmese folk and it is quite the sort of contact that the student of my type seeks. On the lower deck, which is but a few inches above the water, and about the upper, they squat and recline and Ile, these Burmese of the Irrawaddy villages,young ance-old, women and children.. Tirer'e are, Of course, a few Chinese among' them; and the blends of the two peoples strongly favor the Chinese, especially in the case of the women. And there is as much difference between the Bengalis, among whom S have lately spent a few weeks, and the Burmese, as there is between the two groat cities of Calcutta and Rangoon. -It is impossible not to like these Burmese at the very first encounter. They are a light-hearted folk; always smiling, it seems;, always apparently happy. "As irresponsible as children,' I have heard them called, and it may be that they are. But I like that sort of "irresponsibility" when it produces contented faces, bright eyes, ready smiles. Their keen glances follow me about the deck as i step carefully among the family groups. Their in- terest is nterestis avid as I purchase something at the "canteen." "What is the white 'Yvan going to buy?" I can fancy them saying to one another. "What will he eat? Where is ho going? Why is he traveling, the only European, on this little boat?" If I could but talk to them in their own tongue, the only true means of 'gaining the confidence of an alien people! As a hundred times before I deplore the lack of universal lan- guage in which all, of whatever nation, race or creed, might talk to each other' and thus develop a friendliness be- yond the possibility of further misun- derstanding or conflict. However, the smile possesses a sort of universal significance in its' mani- festation of kindly intent, and I have found the world over that it rarely fails to find its response. And the Burmese are like the Polynesians in that they would far rather smile than not. You can go into a Burma village, as you can into a Polynesian, con- monce with a broad smile, continue with a chuckle, and conclude with hearty laughter, and in a few minutes you will have old and youngabout you merry es school children at re- cess. They may not know what it means -indeed, it may not mean lany- thing-but it is a certain way to es- tablish friendly relations. Here on this little Irrawaddy river teamer, making its leisurely way along the road to Mandalay, no' one peaks English, or French, or German, the three languages in which I am able to express myself in a more or ass limited fashion, But I have been n far worse linguistic dilemmas, with ometimes a little of insecurity at - ending them as well. And so I com- mence with the children, usually a Bare way to the hearts of the elders mong Oriental folk; and before long we are all friends, and I abandon en- irely the silly privacy of the "first lass" apartment. The road to Mandalay, by whatever steamer, leads first through the 20 - mile canal- which connects Rangoon with the Irrawaddy. Many a native village of thatched huts; with its ad- jacent rice paddies and its cynitnetrl- I cal pagoda dominating the landscape, clusters comfortably upon the green banks. Aswe come into the river itself there are more villages, and as [tate distance from Rangoon increases tthey partake less and less of the char- actor of what we call "civilization," and thus` become more interesting. Here and there narrow creeks lead I from the river, and far among the ries '.fields the sails of native craft are visible, seeming to move mysteriously across the land itself. One longs to navigate some such toylike waterway, if, only to see where it might lead and what might be at its end. At every riverside village the little steamer pauses while some of the passengers leave and others promptly take their places, to the accompaniment of much chatter, 'much' laughter and nothing resembling haste. Little in existence is of less consequence than time to the Burmese. Clocks and calendars hold for him as little significance as to a ilve-year-old. Haste is merely misdi- rected energy, and the four -mile -an - hour Irrawaddy steamer, with her long wayside tarries during which plenty of social intercourse is possible, is the ideal method of travel. As the soft tropical twilight gathers, then quickly yields to night while the blazing stars of the low latitudes find their reflections in the gently flowing river, a conviction comes to me that there is something to be said :for the' Burmese viewpoint, especially when one is in Burma and leisurly traveling the road to Manadalay.-(M.

While no direct search is to be made for ancient man, It is important to note that the best evidence of early man- so far found In central Asia is on the borders of the Ordos near Ninghsia.
