' Paul at ]tome Acts 28:16-24, 30, 31.
Commentary;. — Connecting Links.
When Paul apt! his companions reach-
ed the land they learned that the
island was :called Melita, of which
Malta, the modern name, is a. ullort-
ened form. They -were received kindly"
by, the inhabitants of the island.
Paul remained three months on the
i,eiand, and during that time there
were some very, important events:
1. A viper fastened itself on Paul's
hand, which caused the islanders to
think that he was a •murderer, but
when lie shook it off and felt no harm
they, decided that he must be a god.
2. Paul was entertained by the Gov-
ernor of the island, whose father was
very siek, and Pau1 healed him. 3.
Many which bad diseases came and
were healed. 4. The people of Malta
honored Paul and .his companions
yritb many boners.
I. Paul enters Rome (v. 16). 16.
Came to home—Rome is reached at
last, and the long journey is at an
end. At this time the city of Rome
was at the height of its glory. It
heed sway over nearly the entire
known world. "'Within a, circuit of
little more than twelve miles, more
than two millions of inhabitants
-were crowded, of whom about one
million were .slaves." But Paul—
"Nero, the emperor to whom Paul
bad appealed, was too much engaged
in bis debaucheries and pleasures to
care much for such a man as Paul or
Buell accusations as were made
against him by the Jews," By himself
This lenity was probably due to the
oommeoda,tion of the centurion Jul-
1us,—Cam. Bib. With a soldier—'he
custom was to chain the prisoner by
one band to the guard.
11. The first interview with the
Jews (ve. 17-22). 17. After three days
—Three days after Paul's arrival at
Rome, he invited those who presided
over the Jewish community to visit
him. His first steps on passing be-
yond the. narrow circle of those al-
ready converts were directed, in ac-
cordance with his established prin-
ciple, toward Israel. And as his cir-
eumistancds did not allow him to sees'
the Jews, as he had done in athext
places, lee requested the representa-
tives b'f the Jewish cetrigregatian to
Dome to hie lodging.—Lange. Men
and brethren—"This address to the
assembled Jews is of a personal na-
ture, and is intended to counteract
certain prejudices width, the Raman
Jews might entertain, in conse-
quence, partly of Paul's imprison-
ment, partly; of the fact that he had
appealed unto the emperor, and
partly of any ,elanders possibly
brought from Judea."
18, 19, Let me go—Hie narrates
briefly, the events given in chapters
21 to 26,—The Rana,an officiai.s re-
peatedly. failed 'to find cause of of-
fence in thim. To appeal—Paul de-
clared that his appeal to the emper-
or had become indispensably neces-
tsa.ry,, because the Jews opposed his
acquittal, to which the .Roman au-
thorities judgea slim to be entitled.
He ,states that it had not been his
intention to bring any accusation
against his people before the em-
peror.
20. Hope of Israel—The hope of
Zsrael is the general expectation of
the Messiah.
21.—Neither received letters —
",W,hiy the Jews in Judea had not for-
warded the accusation against
Paul to their brethren in Rome, that
• they* might continue the prosecution,
before the emperor, is not known.
22.—Desire to hear of thee—"They
implied that they, had heard or him,
by their request to know what he
thought of this new .sect. That
they spoke so cautiously„ and sub-
sequently made no demonstration of
]hostility against Paul is readily ac-
counted for. The apostle was held
in iepeciai favor by the chief of-
ficer of Nero's household, and the
Jews of the synagogue were them-
aeelves subject to persecution so
that they were powerless to perse-
cute the disciples of Christ."—But-
ler.
III. The ,second interview with the
Jews (vs.- 23-29) 23. Came many
—They came in great numbers. 'Many
accompanied the chief Jews. Ex-
pounded, etc.—"Paul takes as his
theme that doctrine of the ,as
of God which was the Central truth
of the Old Testament and the New;
that great disclosure of the pro-
phets which was still,, as it had been
for centuries the supreme thought
and hope of ,the
whole Jewish peo-
ple. Morning until evening—This
Shows the effort Paul Rut forth to
,save the Jews.
24. Some believed— A few were
won to faith in the Christ ; but the
many disbelieved the teachings of
their own Scriptures, anti rejected
the suffering Messiah, so plainly dis-
closed.—Butler. "The Beed of the
word • fell 'here, in some cases, be
the wayside; in others, upon stony
places, or among thorns; neverthe-
less, some fell into good ground."
25-20. Spoken one word—With these
Mole= words of the Hole Gho t,
spoken byIsaiah, Christ has opened
:his teachings by •parables, and had
• finally closed his ministry among
the Jews. Anti now Paul, as if him-
self commissioned by the Holy Ghost
as a prophet of the Now, 'iesta-
e hent, • ,a.'aelly redelivers the dame
; messafr,e, enforced by the awful em-
okra sle of the lie h ster's double tat -
terance. Untothe Gentiles -"Paul
was never discouraged. If the gospel
was rejected by one class of peo-
ple, he was readyto offer it to are,
other.'0
IV. Paul's residence and ministry
In Rome (vs. 30, 31). 30. Two 'whole
years—Why he was not prosecuted
before the Emperor during this time
is not known. As there was no ,pro-
secution, Paul was suffered to live
in quietness and safety.
31. Preaching and teaching—
Paul did a great work during these
two years in Rome. 1. He preached
the gospel jo all who came to him.
2. He wrote several epistles which
were by far the mast important part
of bis prison activity.
;Teachings.—"A message from God
should be delivered immediately. If
there is a charge against our char-
acter, which is likely to injure our
influence, we ought to remove it, if
possible, before delivering the Lord's
messages.
PRACTICAL SURVEY.
A favored prisoner. Paul had for a
long time desired to see Rome, and
about two years previous the Lord
had said to him, "As thou haat tes-
tified of Me in Jerusalem, so must
thou bear witness also at Rome."
Aitnougn ne went as a prisoner, 'ne
no less on that account felt that
he was Tollowing God. During the.
terrible experience at sea, when ;the
outlook was anything but favorable,
Paul was full Qf courage and was
more commander of the ship than the
master himself. It was a blessing to
that crew that they had such• a man
an board. On the island the Lord
used this man for His glory, and
though Paul's presence the ship's
crew were kindly treated.
The Jews bonsulted. After only
three days' delay Paul is about
one of the great objects of iris
journey to Rome. The chief of the
Jews aro ,called and to them th'e
makes known his case as It stands
with him. His spirit is one of gen-
tleness and love. The Jews were
responsible for This bonds, yet ghee
says, "Not that I had ought to ac-
cuse my nation of." He had no tinge
of vindictiveness about him. He
could lay down his life for the Jews
if that :would. accomplish) their sal-
vation. He was no less a Christian
for his deep regard for his Jewish
brethren, nor twas he any more a
Jew for having an interest in them.
His sect everywhere spoken
against. The Jews said, "For as con-
cerning this sect, we know that
everywhere it is spoken against."
Wo have reason to be thankful
that the sect of which Paul was
a part has an existence on earth'
to -day. There are two principal
reasons why the children of God
are spoken against. The first rea-
son is 'that their spirit is radically
different from that which charac-
terizes the evorld. The second rea-
son for this opposition to Christ-
ians is 'that their outward life and
appearance are 'unworldly.
Turning to the Gentiles. Paul's
discourse did not convince all the
Jews, but some believed, 'Ile fear -
lassie and powerfully presented the
truth to them, and when they
agreed not among themselves hr
was constrained to declare that
" the salvation of God is sent to
the Gentiles, and they will hear
it." Paul did his duty and was
crowned at last. althoughmany
who heard his preaching failed of
salvation. God rewards his ser-
vants atcordtng to their faithful -
nese and not according to visible
results„

SNAKE HYPNOTISM.
Expert Says the Power of Fascinating
Prey Tlndoibtedly Exists.
Graham Peck. a well-known author-
ity on snakes, was asked his opinion
regarding a ,snake's hypnotic powers.
His reply was as fellows:
"There is a certain power to fas-
cinate in a snake's eyes and move-
ments. I saw only the other day a
typical Illustration of the power of
a ,snake to fascinate.
"Over in the pine woods I saw a
ground squirrel Ia.seinated by a black
gopbev snake. The forked tongue
darted out of the snake'e mouth al-
most as regularly, anti rapidly as the
needle of a sewing machine rises and
falls. The squirrel seemed to watch
it spellbound. The snake crept slowly
nearer. 'When the gopher snake was
within two or three inclh.es of the
,squirrel it •gave aleap and threw
three coils about the squirrel. In-
stantly- the spell was gone. The fas-
cination or charm there had been
over the little animal was no doubt
broken the very moment the serpent's
collas were about the squirrel, for the
animal gave three convulsive, terri-
fied chirps and realized that ite
death moment had come.
"I believe ianplicitly that all snakes
have a certain degree of power to
fascinate tbeir victims to death.
BIarksnakes, ,gopher snakes and Tao-
ers have the power to a large degree.
Rattlesnakes have the most fascin-
cations of charming among poisonous
serpents in the southwest. The indi-
cations of charming cmong poisonous
snakes are deceiving sometimes. Poi-
sonous snakes fang their prey once
only. The poison does not kill at once.
The victim flutters to a branch, it
may be, or runs a. short -distance
and stops. The snake watches it. The
poison does,its deadly work, and the
bird fails. Anyone who conies tip, not
having seen the attack, might be
readily deceived into imagining that
it was the glance of the snake and
not the poison that caused the vic-
tim to fall."—Detroit ''Free Press.

The movement in most deptertments
of wlholets'ale traria at Montreal is
showing a full volume compared with
previous years, and. In some cases
there haas been a large increase in
the orders booked the past month,
compared with previous seasons.
Warm weather has stimulated the
demand for ,seasonable goods at To-
ronto this week, .and the movement
bas been larger than Usual at this
sea.som as a result of the delay in the
sortlieg trade caused last month
through unfavorable. weather condi-
tions. Tt•.atde conditions at Quebec
during tho past week have been fairly
active. Sorting orders have ortinm a boon

steady demand for staple goods at
the Pacific coast trade centres tl:is
week, and the outlook for general
trade is considered very promising.

The fine crop outlook is causing a
big dean:Intl far fall good''. Rains have
done much good to the growing crops
and the progress has been very sat-

been a steady expansion in the de-
mand for ,seasonable goods. The
warm weather has Thad a good effect
in breaking retail storks through the
conutry, and the buying of summer
goods le expected to continue more
or less active for the next month.
Fall goods, aro selling well and prom-
tse a good increase in volume com-
pared with last year. Values are
