1:12-14.
'Golden Text—I am not ashamed of

Place—Malta and Rome.
PAUL PREACHES IN ROME
And after three months we set sail.
Note that we are again in one of the
"we" passages of the Acts, indicating
that Luke was of the party, minister-
ing to Paul as his physician. In a
ship of Alexandria which had winter -
dl the the island, whose sign was
The Twin Brothers. The "sign" was
the ship's figurehead, which was often
at the stern as well as at the bow.
This was probably another grain ship
from Egypt such as was beaten to
pieces in the bay three months before.
And touching at Syracuse, we tar-
ried there three days. Syracuse was
an important Cityon the Southeast of
Sicily; directly north from Malta.
And from thence we made a circuit
and arrived at Rbegiurn. As the Wind
from the South failed thein, they bad
to tack, reaching Rbegiunt by a twist-
ing route. And after one day a south
Wind sprang up, and on the second.
day We came to Puteoli. The south
wind was what they had been waiting
for; it carried them straight north-
ward without further tacking. Here
Paul and the other prisoners, with
the soldiers, came on shore.
Where We,found brethren, and were
entreated to tarry with them seven
days: and so We wentt to Rome.
"Strangers of Rome" were in JeruSa-
lem at the first Pentecost (Acts 2:10),
and already, less than three decades
after the death of Christ, there was
evidently a considerable body of
Christians in the world's metropolis
and even in this seaport town.
And from thence the brethren, when
they heard of us, came to meet us as
far as the Market of .Appius and the
Three Taverns. These two towns
were situated on the famous Appian
Way, named from Appius Claudius,

of to accuse my nation. Paul did not
intend to appeal to Caesar against the
NEN Jews, for he knew how bitter the Em -
the Censor. It stretched from Rome
to Brundusium and is still of the
greatest interest to travellers, but
chiefly because in walking along it
we know We are travelling in thi . foot
steps of Paul. Whom when Paul saw,
he thanked God, and took courage:
He \Vat', 0 prisoner, and probably was
downcast because he did not see how
he could preach Christ from a prison
cell:, lint the way was opening out
before him, as it always did, His an-
diences were coining to him, if lie
could nut go to them, and his quick
mind at once saw how speedily the
words of life would radiate forth ev-
en from a prison.
And When we entered into Rome,
Paul was suffered to abide by him-
self with the soldier that guarded him.
The centurion Julius probably ob-
tained for Paul the favor of living by
himself, Willett would vastly facilitate
his work as an evangelist. Moreover,
as the guards were often changed, he
thus got at a large number of men
with the gospel and with glorious
sults. Thus all Paul's misfortunes
turned out for the progress of Chris-
tianity, and. he rejoiced.
And it came to pass,... that after
three days he called together those
that were the chief of the Jews.
Paul spent three days in greeting the
Roman Christians, and learning the
state of the church there, before he
reached out after the Jews who were
nut Christians. And when they were
come together, he said unto them, I,
brethren, though I had done nothing
against the people, or the customs of
our fathers ,yet was delivered prison-
er from Jerusalem into the hands of
the Romans. Paul implies that the
Jews of Jerusalem had handed him
over to the Romans, which was indir-
ectly the case, since the ;Romans seiz-
ed him to' protect him from the vio-
lence of a Jewish. mob.
Who, when they hadexamined me,
desired to s& me at liberty, because
there was no cause of death in me.
Felix would have freed him if he had
been bribed, for he knew he was in-
nocent.
But when the Jews spake against it,
I was constrained to appeal unto Cae-
sar. Paul tactfully says nothing a-
bout the Jews' urgency that he should
be brought to Jerusalem to be tried
there and his certainty that they wish -

When you learn the full details of this sensational new automobile, you will realize that Chevrolet
has provided those qualities of six -cylinder smoothness, power, acceleration and luxury which here-
tofore could only be enjoyed in cars costing several hundred dollars more!
The CHEVROLET Engine.
The Outstanding Chevrolet is powered by a new
six -cylinder valve -in -head engine of advanced
design. .
It develops 32% more power than the previous
Chevrolet motor and affords greater speed, faster
acceleration and an economy averaging better
than twenty miles to the gallon of gasoline 1
A new non -detonating cylinder head provides
high compression performance without special
fuels. The new hot -spot manifold assures com-
plete fuel vaporization. The new and larger
carburetor incorporates an automatic acceler-
ation pump, and an improved venturi choke for
quicker winter starting.
The new heavier crankshaft is statically and
dynamically balanced. The entire rocker arm
mechanism is automatically lubricated. Long
engine life, is provided for by AC air cleaner,
continuous self -purification of the crankcase oil
—and improved crankcase ventilation.
Big, powerful, easily adjustable four-wheel
brakes. Ball-bearing steering mechanism. And
.such costly car features as two -beam head-
lamps with toe button control for "dimming",
,setni-automatic spark control, theft -proof Elec-
trolock, waterproof spark -co if construction,
larger shielded safety gasoline tank in rear,
im-
proved differential lubrication and many other
features of comparable importance.
New Bodies by. Fisher
In addition the New Chevrolet offers an order
of beauty, distinction and style never before
attained in any low-priced automobile! The
high flattened hood and the gleaming chrom-
ium plated radiator shell furnish the keynote of
rugged smartness and grace. The rakish un-
broken lines, emphasized by distinctively grouped
hood louvres, are suggestive of speed and alert-
ness. The divided body moulding and concave
front pillars reflect the vogue so widely favored
by leading custom builders; while the larger,
longer, lower bodies are themselves masterful
examples of the craftsmanship for which Fisher
is internationally renowned,
The seats are wider and more restful. The
driver's seat in all closed models is easily adjust-
able, forward or back—a feature recently intro-
duced on a few of the high-priced cars. The
redesigned dash carries an attractive grouping
of all control instruments indirectly lighted,
including the new motor temperature, indicator.

peror was against them already and
he was far too patriotic to think of
bringing further trouble upon them,
no matter what they did or' planned
to do to himself..
For this cause therefore did I en-
treat you to see and to speak with
me; for because of the hope of
Israel I am bound with this chain.
Paul's audience would at once under-
stand him to mean by "the hope of
Israel" the long -expected Messiah, and
they knew enough about Christianity
to know that he believed that this
Messiah bad appeared in the person
of the. qucified Jesus.,
And they,saicl unto him, We neith-
er received letters' from Judaea con-
cerning thee, nor did any of the bre-
thren come hither and report. or speak
any harm of thee. Paul himself, as
we have seen, got to Rome, as speed-
ily as any letter or any roan Could
have gone. •
But we desire to, hear of thee what
thou thinkest: for as ,concerning this
sect, it is known to us that every-
where it is spoken against. Christ-
ianity was known everywhere, by this
time.
And when they had appointed him
a day, they came to him unto his lod-
ging in great number. Only the lead%
ing men came to the first conference,
but for the second a general invita,-
bon was issued. . To whom he ex-
pounded the matter, testifying the
kingdom of God. i "The kingdom of
God" was a common phrase signify-
ing the reign of the promised Messiah
This kingdom,. Paul said, has been in-
augurated and' is now spreading over
the earth. B'e'come a citizen of ill
That was, the opening message of Jes-
us: "The kingdom of God is at hand."
And persuading them concerning Jes-

from the prophets. He quoted the
Mosaic prophecies concerning Christ,
and those in such prophets as Isaiah,

to the life of Jesus. From morning
till evening. No twenty -minute ser-
mons in those days! This was known
to be a matter of the greatest mom-
ent, of infinite issues. Is it less to
us now? And yet how many would
spend an entire day over it?
And some believed the things which
were spoken, and some disbelieved.
So always, when Christ is preached,
some may be expected to reject the
good news and some to accept it.
And he abode two whole years in
his own hired dwelling. Paul's friends
must have provided the money for
hiring the house, for the apostle could
no longer support himself by his trade
of tent -making. Atli received all that
went in unto him. He could not go
to them, but every one came to know
what a warm welcome awaited him
there, and one caller would bring an-
other.
Preaching the kingdom of God, and
teaching the things ...concerning the
Lord Jesus Christ. These two phras-
es of Paul's teaching were closely
connected, for the Lord Jesus Christ
made possible the kingdom of God by
His coming to, earth, His life, death,
and resurrection. With all boldness,
none forbidding hirn. Here we see
how providential was Paul's impris-
onment, for what his jailers allowed
no one could forbid.

ROAD GRANTS TO

Whitby Gazette and Chronicle.
A resolution 'from the (i unty, of
Perth, .n.ow before the Ontafio Coun-
ty Council for consideration; asks the
Provincial Department of Highways
of Ontario to consider making a grant
of thirty per cent. of the cost of' work
done on back streets in towns and
villages the same allowance as is made
to townships for the upkeep of their
roads. •
The request would seem to its to
'be a reasonable one, because of the
