rznth. Paul the crossed over to
pe and probably visited Philippi,
essalonica and Berea; and perhaps it
was at this time that he journeyed to
Ileyricum (Rom. 15: 19). While in
Macedonia, perhaps at Philippi, he wrote
his second letter to the church at Cor-
inth. •Paul then visited Corinth, and
while there wrote the epistle to the
Galatians and also the Romans. From
Corinth Paul started on his. return
journey, hoping to reach Jerusalem in
time for Pentecost, A. D. 58. He jour-
neyed overland. with several friends to
'Philippi, where he was rejoined by Luke,
"who henceforth shared his dangers to
the end of his life." He then crossed
to Troae, where Eutycluts was i'e-
stored to life. From Troas Paul's •ship
touched at several points and finally
arrived at Miletus, the scene of to -day's
lesson.
II. The character of Paul's ,ministry
at Ephesus (vs. 17-21). 17. Miletus-
Miletus was a city of Asia Minor, about
thirty-five miles south of Ephesus, sit-
uated at the mouth of the river Mean-
der. Called the elders -Paul, instead
of going to Ephesus, sent for the elders
of the church to meet him at Miletus.
"Then followed one of the most touch-
ing and perfect addresses ever spoken."
18. He said unto them -Paul shows
that his ministry was•, 1. A ministry of
unwearied, diligent. serviee. (1) He
served the Lord. (2) He served the
people. He was devoted' and faithful,
preaching publicly and privately, and
laboring with his hands. His service
was arduous and constant. 2. Char-
acterized by a whole -hearted consecra-
tion. 3. A humble ministry. Paul had
a humble opinion of himself. He 'as-
cribed to God all the glory. 4. A min-
istry of fervent sympathy. 5. A min-
istry of thoroughness and consequent
unpopularity. 10. Humility .... tears
..temptations -Here we catch a
glimpse of Paul's struggles and trials,
and We see the courage and fortitude of
the apostle. 20. Kept back nothing -
He declared. the whole counsel of God.
21. Repentance .... faith -This is the
order in all cases of true repentance.
III. Paul's faithfulness (vs. 22-27.) 22,
And now :71M -reel has a view of
his own future. In the midst of bonds
and afflictions, while facing death, lie
did not falter, but preached the gospel
with joy. 24. -Neither count ,.,, life
dear-" The perpetual martyr can
smile at martyrdom"
20. Pure from the blood -"This form
•of expression is very striking. It is
borrowed from the crime of murder, and
the method by which guilt is ordinarily
brought home to the criminal. In many
cases conviction depends on blood being
found on the clothes of the murderer.
This is the conception that leaps into
the apostle's mind." He is conscious of
his performance of duty and if any are
lost who had heard the gospel from his
lips. their blood will not be required at
his hands.
IV. The elders admonished (vs. 28-
31.) 28. Take heed -"How unspeakable
the loss of a sou]! He shudders at the
thought. and in order to quicken their
diligence schen they should return to
their labor; he endeavors to impart
some of his own anxiety to the elders.
1!e, in effect, invites then to look to
their hands and garments, to make sure
that there is no blood on them" All the
flock -The work of these divinely -called
bishops, or elders, is to shepherd the
church of God; to nourish it with truth;
to lead it to the way of Christ; to
watch over and guard against the en-
trance of evil, and to administer such
rule and discipline as is divinily dele-
gated. The term "flock" is Christ's
fay mite figure. The supreme motive is
fidelity. -Butler. Overseers -"In the
sending forth of Saul and. Barnabas we
learn the truth which Paul here de -
dynes: that in every genuine appoint-
ment of bishops, or elders, it is the Holy
Spirit who selects, calls and appoints to
the office of the work. No vaec min-
istry is exclusively man-made" His own
blood ---:rhe death of Christ was an aton-
ing sacrifice; he offered himself to ptr-
cbase a people for his own service.

V. The elders exhorted to unselfish-
ness (vs. 32-35). To God -An almighty

of his grace -"The truths of the gospel.
The gospel originates in grace; produces
grace." Build you up -"The foundation
of faith has been laid, and the structure
of a complete Christian character was
to be reared through the instrumental-
ity of the gospel." An inheritance --
Eternal life. The final glory and bless-
edness of the redeemed. Sanctified -
Those who have been made holy. It is
gloriously possible to be sanctified
made holy -in this life. When the un-
converted person discovers that sin still
exists in his soul, he should immediately
come to Christ by faiths for a complete
cleansing. Examine the following scrip-
tures: 1. Provisions ore made in the
atonement -`for the complete removal of
all sin (Zech. 13: 1, Eph. 5: 25-27, Titus
2: 14, I•Ieb. 13: 12, 1 John 3: 8). 2. It
is promised (1 Thess. 5: 24, 1 John 1:
9). 3. Commanded (1 Peter 1: 16). 4.
Prayed for (Psa. 51: 10, John 17: 17,
1 Thess. 5: 23). 5. It is the office work
of the Holy Spirit to sanctify as well
as to regenerate (Rom. 15: 16, 2. Thess.
2: 13, 1 Peter 1: 2). 6. It is received
by faith (Acts 15: 9).
33. Coveted -Paul was not living
among them to obtain their property;
yet in Gal. 6: 6 and 1 Cor. 9; 7-14, he
distinctly teaches that "they which
preach the gospel should live of the
gospel."
34. These hands -Paul showed, both
by example and precept, that labor is
b. -operable. 35. Words= -The words re-
corded here are not in the gospels, but
they are in perfect accord with the
teachings of Jesus. John says that a
great many of Christ's sayings are not
recorded. More blessed -"When the
Lord intimated that the blessedness of
giving is the greater, he did not inti-
mate that the joy of receiving was small.
He proclaims in one sentence the two-
fold truth, that the joy of his people
in obtaining is great, and his own in
bestowing it is greater."
VL The closing scene (vs. 36-38). This
was a most tender and affectionate part-
ing scene. May God grant to every
minister the spirit which Patel evinced
at this time.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
Paul Exhorting- and Teaching.
1. Exhortation. 1. Personal exhor-
tation. "Take heed...unto yourselves"
(v. 28). Samuel Logan Bungle says:
'The woodman would be foolish who
thought so much wood to cut he could
not take time to grind his axe; the ser-
vant would be useless who should go to
the city to buy things for his master in
such a hurry as not to come to him for
his orders and money. One morning, in
England, after a half -night of prayer
which I led and in ;a,hich I worked hard,
I rose early to be sure of•an hour with
God and my • bible. God blessed me till
I wept. An army officer with me was
much moved, and said, `I don't often
find God in prayer; prayer hinder his
cause instead of helping it. Take time
to wait on God.' "
2. Pastoral exhortation . "Take heed
...to feed the chureh" (v. 28). The word
of God is the milk and the meat for the
children of God. This is often so badly
served they can neither drink tIse milk
nor eat the meat. "No book is read so
publicly as the. Bible acrid no book is road
so imperfectly." .An English wrtier
says, "Not one in a hundred ca.n read
a, chrapter correctly; not one in a thou-
sand eau read a chaipter effectively."
Garrick, speaking to a pastor of scrip.
tare reading said: "You read truth as if
it were fiction; .1 read fiction as if it
were truth." A French teacher of eloeau-
tion laud to an Am,exiean theologica.r
student: "You read as ie you had no God
in you."
11. Sm nety1 eation.. "God...: a'hle ... to
give sou an inheritance among allthem
that are modelled" (v. 32). To enjoy
the eonscions presence of God, to know
the word of His grace, to have the ear.
nest of an inheritance among the sanc-
tified is to be ready for any emergency.
1. God's will. The will of God Is he
source of our senctifk,a.tioo. "By the
which will we mare eanetified" (Heb. 10,
10). "This is the will of God, even your

word. "Thee word of His grace" (v. 32)
es the divine is strwment of saanctifie s-
tion (John 17, 17). 3. °heist's blood.
'His own blood" (v. 28) is the ground
of our modification, He suffered with. -
out the gate that He might sanctify
pie with His own blood (Herb. 13,
4. God's spirit. The Holy Spirit is

I.U, Labor. "These haw have minis-

business he was not influenced by the
world's motives, "nit oonformed" to the
world's maxims ,(Rom. 1.2, 2), but guided
by "the words of the Lord Jesus" (v. 35).
The world says, "hook our for number

HOT WEAT1E
HELPS FOR HORSES.
Horses become greatly fatigued the
second day of a hotspell, the third
day always causes some. heat prostra-
tions or sunstrokes, and .each successive.
day brings more in a greatly increased
ratio.
The fatigue of the secozid day Increas-
es until the horse is completely pros-
trated, soon becoming insensible. and
dying in an 'hour or two unless he re-
ceives very prompt attention.
Panting, usually accompanied by pro-
fuse sweating, dilation of the nostrils,
hanging of the head, drooping ears sloes,-
ing up, loss of animation and bloodshot
eyes are the first symptoms of heat
prostration. If the horse is forced
along, he ceases to perspire, staggers,
and goes down.
OVERFEEDING INDUCES SUN-
STROKE.
Don't overfeed. It iseneraily be-
lieved that horses x=,.hick ie from sun-
stroke are sufferinkfrom indigestion.
To keep the stomach in good order the
best of hay and oats dhould be used, and
a double handful of bran should be mix-
ed with each feed of oats. It is best to
feed a little less in hot weather than the
horse has been accustomed to.
Don't overwork. Itis the overworked

horse that' usually gets sunstroke. He
is not able to do as much in hot as in
Mild or cold weather; and eonsequently
should not be loaded as heavily, nor
driven as fast nor as far.
Don't neglect to water often, Horses
should be watered every hour or so on
a hot day. When a horse begins to pant
and shoe signs 61 weakness, he should
be allowed to stop in the shade and rest
for half an hour. Owners should give
this order to their drivers, as it will be
the means of saving their animals, and
consequently their money.
See that the horse is provided with
some protection for his head. A driver
should no more thirds of leaving the
barn on a hot day without a sponge
than he would without a blanket in
winter.. When stopping to water the
horses it takes but a moment to wipe
off their faces and heads with the
moist sponge, and it refreshes the ani -
male wonderfullly.
Never let pass an opportunity to leave
your horses !deeding in the shade..
Make your stops periods of rest to your
noble co-worker. if your horse is great-
ly overheated he should have some light
covering thrown over him when left in
the shade to prevent eoneestion.
PUT YOUR SHOULDER TO THE
W 14elEL.
In this hot Weather be careful as nev-
er before of letting the wheels get into
a rut. If in spite of all precautions this
happens, jump down, and put your
shoulder to the wheel. Others will fall
in line to assist you, and three or four
can easily lift a wheel out of a place
from which it is practically impossible
for a horse to pull it.
The sight of a driver lashing his teem
until plunging about. and using up en-
oi:gh energy to haul ` •the load some
twenty-five miles and back, the 'horses.
finally get the wheel out of the rut
leaves one either with pity for the ig-
norance or disgust for the brutality of
the manipulator of the whip, and the
act cannot help putting the driver on
rather frigid terms with himself.
• Do not neglect the horse's feet in
summer. Many seem to think that at;

is easy. The heat generated in the shoe
by constant friction with the heated
pavement is transmitted through the
protecting horn of the hoof to the sensi-
tive inner parts, and causes great dis-
tress. Take advantage of every oppor-
tunity to let the shoes cool off.
Never take "steaming" horses to the
barn. Let them cool off the latter part
of the way in. going very slowly. They
should be sponged off, watered and rest-
ed before being fed.
