LESSON 1.—OCTODE4 3, 1009,
Paul a Prisoner—The Arrest.—Acts
21: 27-39.
Commentary.—I. Paul confers with
the church at Jerusalem (vs. 18-25). The
day after their arrival at Jerusalem
"the elders and leaders of the church,
of whom James, the brother of.A our'..
Lord, was chief, met together, and Paul
gave them a report of his work. The
settlement by' vote, eight .years before,
of the question as to the necessity of
ticeeping the Jewish law, had not changed
the opinion of all the Jewish Chris-
tians." Their friendship at this time
was very doubtful. Paul was endeavor-
ing by every possible means to heal the
'breach between them. 1. The Jerusalem
believers were very door, and Paul had
taken a collection for them among the
churches. "This is the collection men-
tioned in 1 Cor. 16: 13; Rom. 15: 25,
and more fully in 2 Cor., chapters 8, 9.
Its design is revealed in Rom. 15: 31,
where Paul actually asks prayers of the
Christians in far off Italy that the
Perusalem church may accept the gift,"
evidently hoping that this would help
in bringing about a more harmonious
state of things. 2. Paul was ready to
make concessions. "Vague rumors had
gone forth that he taught that not only
the Gentiles but that even the Jews
need not keep the law of Moses." To
them Paul seemed to be undermining
the very foundation of their hopes. In
order to refute these slanders the elders
requested Paul to openly show to the
Jews that he did keep the law.

Jeru-
salem to complete a Nazarite vow. The
Jews permitted any one who so ;wished
to join in the final purification; and
this was the more readily permitted if
the expenses were paid by the person:
taking part in the closing ceremonies.
Paul agreed to pay their expenses, and
for a week to live with them in the
temple, and then to stand with them
while their heads were shaven and while
they took their hair to burn it "under
the uterine of the peace -offering"
(Num. 6: 18). "This was not a com-
promise, it was concession; but while
Paul attempted to refute certain slan-
ders, he at the same time ran the risk
of almost certain misrepresentation on
the other side. The fact that unex-
pected trouble grew out of it does not
brand Ms actions as unwise or wrong,
for the Jews would have found some
other pretext if this had not come to
them." 27. The seven days—This ap-

help as though a great outrage had been
committed. These Jews who
s sween had
been
Paul's opponents at Eph
watching him. They had seen Troph-
imus, an Ephesian, in the city with
Paul, and when they saw Paul in the
court of the women with strangers, they
supposed he had taken Trophimus into
the temple. Stfey stirred up a mob
against Paul, charging him with having
polluted the temple. Their charges
show that the attack was premeditated.
The question is asked, Did Paul do
right in thus purifying himself hi the
temple? Our answer is, Yes. What
were his motives? He did not do it to
avoid persecution, or even death—he
was ready to die in Jerusalem. He did
not take this course to gain favor with
the church, or for any selfish purpose.
His sole purpose was to gain access to
the hearts of these Christians and lead
them into a deper Christian life. Read
1 Cor. 9; 19-23 "Let us remember that
these brethren to whom Paul joined
himself were Christians and were not
clinging to legal rights by which to
merit their salvation, but they clung to
then• as ordinances which were of divine
origin, and which education had made
thein careful to observe."—Cam. Bib.

for the mob to make out a charge
against the prisoner which would be

years before, when Christ was hurried

is the self-possessed master of his posi-
tion. He avails himself of every advant-
age within reach, first to assuage„,the
chief captain, and then the people. in
order to attain both safety for himself
and triumph for the truth.—Whedon.

whom allusion is made is described by
Josephus as one of the many impostors
of that time, who announced that he was

he was now caught in the person of
Paul. 39. Nc mean city—Tarsus was the
metropolis of Cilicia, a city of culture.
IV. Paul's defence (21. 40-22. 29). The
chief captain gave Paul permission to
speak to the crowds from the stairs
leading up to the castle. He made his
defence iti the Hebrew language. 1. He
showed that he had been a zealous Jew.
2. He described the manner in which he
became a Christian, giving a vivid ac-
count of his conversion. With all his
zeal for the Jewish.. religion, be had
found something far better. 3. He told
them that he had been commissioned to
preach to the Gentiles. They listened to
him until he made this statement and
then they cried, "Away with such a fel-
low from the earth, for it is not fit that
he should live." The mob seemed to
break forth with greater fury than be-
fore. Lysias then commanded that Paul
be scourged, evidently with the inten-
tion of forcing from him a confession of
his crimes; but when Paul informed
them that he was a Roman citizen, in-
stantly the thongs were dropped, and
his safety was secured,

and carpe into; operation 00 •4�pt. 3 of
that year.
Present-day sentiment' in .lie:cope and
elsewhere, especially sinee the recent re-
ve<labiome in Chicago; is arrayed very
strongly against the user ae' human food,
of any meats save those duly inspected
and certified by proper governmental au-
tlkority.
It was in conformity with this senti-
ment, and Chiefly with the object of
preserving our valuable export trade in
bacon and similar products, that the
Meat and -Caunned Fonds, Act was pass-
ed.
With the view "of elearing.up any mis-
understanding which may exist in the
public mind „as to the exact nature of
the legislation under which the present
Meat inspection Servic is conducted,
the following explanatiot le giver:
Before :the Meat anti Os,uied Goods
Act was introduced in illi• IIo•use • of
Commons by the Hon , feleney Fisher,
the Minister of Justice was lurked for
an opinion as to the ppwein +rf the F ed-
ea•al Government with reference to meat
inrpeetian.
His reply was that while these powers
undo'ubtedly warranted -the Federal Gov-
ernment in undertaking; the inspection
of articles exported from, the Dominion
or from one Province to-. another, .there
was very grave -doubt as to whether
they would permit of a, pilar inspection
of articles, the trade in which was con-
fined within the boundaries of any one
Province.
This limitation was especially applic-
able to meat inspection, a subject inti-
mately associated with public health,
one of the matters which, since 1872, has
been dealt with altogether by the Pro-
vincial authorities.
Provision is made either by the Muni-
cipal Act or by the P.rlic Health Act
of each Province, and b?z s.. me cases by
both,. for the- establisnnee and carry-
ing on of municipal meat in-.peetion, and
that this legislation has, up till now,
in too many cases. reinaineu a dead let-
ter, or, at hest, been very ineffectively
enforced, is no fault of the Federal au-
thorities.
Further, a little consideration will, I
think, demonstrate the i ter impossibil-
ity of any Federal Dertment under-
taking

band, Oa the other ,,
ciah laws above mentioned, it ie -quite
possible for municipalities to- organize,
at but little cost a thoroughly effective
system of local meat inspection the ma-
chinery being in many epee already pro-
vided, and the aditional t.xpenditure,
therefore, comparatively smell. •
The awakening of the . public con-
science on the meat inspection question
might reasonably be expected as a re-
sult of the adoption, by the Federal Gov-
ernment, of a policy of inspection of
meats for export and interprovincial
trade, and the agitation now making it-
self felt in many of the larger centres
,of population throughout the country is,
therefore. not surprising. I am satis-
fied that once the Canadian public has
become seized of the situation they will
insist upon the adoption,=by the various
municipal authorities throughout the
country, of a much more thorough sys-
tem of dealing with butchers and the
meat trade generally than has hitherto
been tolerated.
It does not appear to me that there
is any need for, or likelihood of conflict.
We are setting a fairly high' standard,
and all that is required is for the mun-
icipal authorities to adopt, - under the
Ie islation now existing, regulations
g similar to curs, with the view

se serene i yeeehc words
of Christ, The servant is not greater
than his load. If they have perseeated
me they will also persecute you" (John
15, 20). To "suffer,as a Christiana." is to
suffer as Christ did (N. Pet. 4, 16). Be-
fore the cross, Peter defended hie Lord
with the sword, bur ever afterward in
his life and with his pen, he condeenns
the action. When the Christians were
being falsely accused, oppressed and per-
secuted, he did not advise them to fight
it out, but to live it down. If rulers
oppressed them, he bade them submit to
every ordinance of man for the Lord's
sake (L Pet. 2, 13). If spoken against,
he told them to have their behaviour
seemly; if persecuted,- not to think the
fiery trial strange, and not to render evil
for evil, but contrariwise blessing (I.
Pet. 3, 9). He gives the reasons: 1. That
they who revile may be put to shame
(I. Pet. 3, 16). 2. Thereunto ye are.called
that ye should inherit a blessing (I.
Pet. 3, 9, R. V.). 3. Thatl they

own good works may glorify
Pet. 2, 12). 4. Because Christ also suf-
fered for you, leaving you an example
that ye should follow His steps—who,
when He was reviled, reyiled not again;
when He suffered, threatened not (I, Pet.
2, 21, 23). 5. As partakers of Christ's
suffering, rejoice; that at the revelation
of His glor ye ai•s•o may rejoice with ex-
ceeding jof (I. Pet. 4, 13). 6. If ye are
reproaehe for the name of Christ, happy
are ye, because true spirit of glory and
the Spirit of God restetih upon you (I.
Pet. 4, 13, 14, R. V.). 7. It is the will
of Gocl that by well -doing ye put to si-
lence the igno-ranee of foolish men (I.
Pet. 2, 15). When maligned, insulted,
injured, or persecuted, follow the great

mies will acknowledge, even as His did,
"Truly, this is a child' of God."
II. Paul's Citizenship. "Canst thou
speak Greek?" (v. 37). "I am •a citizen
of rio mean city" (v. 39).' "Is it lawful'
for you to soourge a man that is a Ro-
man?" (Acts 22. 25). It was a •great
honor and privilege to be "a Roman"
citizen. It is greater to be among "tile
saints in Christ , Jesus" (Phil. 1, 1) who
can say, "Our citizenship is in heaven"
(Phil. 3, 20, R. V.). An old •Soo.tchinan,
asked if he expected to get to heaven,
replied, "Why, gran, I live there.* His
life was in the spiritual, not in the nat-
ural; his joy, in haveruly things, not in
earthly; his.companio'ns, God and angels
and saints, not w•arldlings or demote;

OTHER MARKETS.
There are at present employed in
these establishments 68 veterinary in-
spectors, all of whom have received a
special training in meat inspection, and
have passed a searching examination as
to their qualifications.
There are. also 11 lay inspectors, whose
duties comprise the supervision of the
marking and shipment of goods.
The inspection conducted in each of
these establishments is as fellows:
All animals for slaughter are examin-
ed by a veterinary inspector on the pre-
rni..es before they are 'allowed to enter
the killing floor. All animals found to
he diseased, or showing suspicious symp-
toms of any kind, are tagged ant held
back until the end of the day's kill,
when they are slaughtered separately.
The inspector makes a thoroughly ex-
amination of the carcass and of all or-
gans of every animal as it is killed. If
these are found healthy, they are stamp-
ed with the inspection legend, the crown
and the words "Canada approved," as
also the establishment number.
Any meats found, in the whole or in
part, to be diseased,,of from other caus-
es unfit for food, are immediately mark-
ed with a. "Condemned" tng.

The first and most ;important step in
this direction will, it is needless to say,
be the providing of public municipal
abettors, to be conducted under inspec-
tion methods smilax to those required by
the Meat and Canned Foods Act, espec-
ially as regards the admission, either of
live animals or their carcases.
The sooner the private. slaughter house
is abolished altogether, the better for
all concerned, as most of the objection-
able meats placed on the market eman-
ate from these undesirable and unsani-
tary places.
The trade in brmc-killed dressed car-
cases will also, for similar seasons, grad-
ually be wiped out of existence, and al-
though the abolition of this forst of
meat disposal will probably cause some
temporary dissatisfaction among,farm-
era, matters will soon adjust themselves
and the profits to the producer will be
in no way lessened, although the livers
and other offal hitherto utilized by the
household will he no longer available.

also 353,212 pounds of meat, condemned

demonstrate effectually the necessity
which actually exists for a thorough
system of meat inspection.
When it is remembered that these
establishments under inspection handle
only animals of the best class procur-
eble, the conditions which exist in the
ordinary private slaughter house, con-
ducted without inspection or official
supervision of any kind, may readily
be imagined.
Boards of Health and municipal au-
thorities have been too long neglectful
of the necessity for intelligent action
in the matter of meat inspection.
