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. I. Pa Fpurified rmen, had the comelttole2Ei-�ll 2) . or 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.

Crying out --They cried for 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.

May I speak—Paul amid the storm 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. 38. That Egyptian—The Egyptian_ to whom allusion is made is described by Josephus as one of the many impostors of that time, who announced that he was a prophet and gathered an ariny with which he undertook to overthrow the Roman government. Lysias hoped that 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, PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.

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 all the supervision, n, to i )~Pe ng , in rami- fications, of the loci �'�ea trade, e e"y-,r town ,and vslll ,..r,; t eghout the oYttinion.. T7 n- s the P rove ' , .�i c 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 TORONTO MARKETS.

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 Cyoyour 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 Example. Non-resista•noe and heart -for- giveness make us like him. Vengcance is His, He will repay; ours, to lave and, forgive (Ram. 12, 19-21). Then our ene- 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; his heart �svas in heaven.

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. se - 0 35 1 20 0 30 0 08 0 25 1 25 Any carcass, in regard to the condi- tion of which there is cause for doubt, somewhat is marked "Held," and set apart for fur- otherwiseot h rendering uunmarketable, w 'diseased underd or trier examination, at the conclusion of unsound meats, t oiit, v'liiclt the inspector deeid7s5 as to its present conditions, cannot •••enter estab- clic coition. lishments„angaged in export or interpra Condemned carcasses .and organs, as also any meats which are at any time found to have undergone sutra deteriora- tion as to unfit them for human food, are tanked with the non -edible products, under the personal supervision of an inspector. vincial trade. 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. The municipal abattoir is a 1 1 iern necessity and..must come. 'Phere are many among us, not yet old, who can we11 recollect when the .number of. hospitals in Canada could almost bo . counted on. the fingers, and when a pro- posal to erect on institution of this kind in a small town was looked upon as in. dice ting a mild forms of insanity.

This should 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. ' It is the duty of every man 'to see that his family, as well as himself, does not eat diseased or unwholesome meat. In. places where 'establishments under federal inspection 'do not exist, safety in "'this regard can be secured only by the establishment of a municipal abat- tor, conducted under the constant supervision of a skilled professional in- seector.---J.
