hood, portions of the Hebrew Scrip-
tures,
Alexander the coppersmith' did me
much evil. This may be the Alexand-
er, a turncoat Christian, whom Paul
condemned in 1 Tinx. 1:20, and poss-
ibly it is, the Alexander of Acts 19:
33,34, Whom the Jews, in the .theatre
riot at Ephesus, vainly put forward
to deny for then. any connection with
the hated apostles. In the opinion of
the present writer, all three Alexand-
ers were different persons; Alexander
was a very contrnc•,n name. The Lord
will render him recording to his
works. That being the case, Paul has
no need to heap maledictions oe his
head. •
Of whom do thoti also beware; for
he greatly withstood our words. This
would imply that Alexander was in
Rome, and had spoken bitterly
against Paul at his "first defence"
ntentionecl in the next verse. Timothy
when he arrives in Rome, is 'to look
out for this fellow, for he may lay at
information against him also
At my first defence no one took
my part, but all forsook ere. Not one
of Paul's friends were willing to risk
his life by acting as his ."advocate"
or lawyer at the trial. May it not be
laid to their account. ``Paul is at his
very best in that; for it is not Paul
at all who says that, but it is He
speaking in }'aul who, when he also
was forsaken, said,' 'Father, forgive
them.' " •
The Lord will deliver me from ear -
cry evil work. Not from Nero and
the sword of the ,executioner, for Paul
has just said that the time of his de-
parture has come. But his death will
deliver him from this world of sin and
bring him to the peace of triumph. of
heaven. "That he, Should be able to
'resist unto blood striving against sin'
and not yield, is a deliverance from
another lion• even the devil., so that
his presentation is greater than the
former."—St. Chrysostom. And will
save inc unto his heavenly kingdom.
"St. Paul's confidence simply -is that
the Lord •would, in His own good
time and way, transfer him from this
present evil world, and from the pow-
ers of darkness, into His eternal king-
dom of light and righteousness."

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING.
Time.—Paul's second imprisonment
and martyrdom, A.D. 66 or 67.
Place.—Rome, from which the Se-
cond Epistle to Timothy was sent.
PAUL'S GOOD FIGHT.
For I am already being offered.
Paul has just urged Timothy to be
zealous in promoting the gospel, and
the reason is that Paul, the chief of
all missionaries, is soon to be taken
fremr the some of his labors. He
looks forward to his approaching
martyrdom as the pouring of his
blood as a sacrifice on God's altar.
And the time of my departure is
come. The word for 'tdeparture"
means the breaking up of an encamp-
ment, and so reminds pus that the ear-
thly body is a tent, not a permanent
dwelling.": A natural word for the
apostolic tent -maker. to use.
I have fought the good fight. Once
more here the athlete of Christ
speaks of the old dialect, but now
with the accent of achievement and
repose." I have finished the course.
"The. race is nearly run, the struggle
is all but over; the is weary, as it
were, and panting with the effort; but
he is successful; the crown is in sight.
Thus our Lord cried out triumphant-
ly on the cross, "It is finished." I

and mockery, and persecution, and
suffering, he had held fast by the sav-
ing truths which he received by spec-
ial revelation from above, and which
as a chosen vessel he was sent forth
to declare to a perishing world.
Henceforth there is laid up for nae

in verse 21. He is eager for a sight
of his beloved young helper before he

sent world. He did not "love his ap-
pearing" (verse 8), lie had not fixed
his affections on things above (Col.
3:2), but he had deserted Paul to at-
tend to some worldly business. And

At the end of seven happy years

attacked and sacked the monastery,
and the lad Thomas returned to the
family home. He had won already a
reputation as a scholar and to com-
plete his education he was now sent
to the famous University 'of Naples.
His teachers were of the renown-
ed Dominican Order, and at that time
were men of exceptionally high stand-
irrg. The impression their' piety and
learning made upon the growing
youth was intense. So mach so that
young Thomas of Aquinas sent in a
petition to -their Superior to be re -1
