Paul at Rome.—Acte 28 : 1I -2i, 30, 31.
Commentary. — ('onnteiting Links.
When Paul and his eonpauiene rt arty
til the land they learned that the
'Island was called Melita, of whiirh
-Malta, the modern name, Is a short-
ened form. They were rtreited kingly
by, tho Inhabitants! of the isle me
Paul remained three 11101ths 011 the
talalld, and during that time there
W0T8 some very important events;
1. A viper fastened Itself on Paul's
hand, which caused the Islanders 10
think that he was a murderer, but
W1e11 hee'hook It off and felt no harm
they, decided that he meet be a goal.
2. Paul was entertained by the Gov-
ernor of the island, whose father was
very sick, and Paul healed 1111n. S.
Manly which had dlecnses came and
were healed. 4. The people of Malta
honored Paul and 111s companions
with many honors.
I. Paul enters (tome (v. 16). 10.
Came to Rome—ltomo is reached at
Mit, and the lung Journey is at an
end. At tide time the city of Rome
was at the height of Its glory. It
held away over nearly the entire
known world, "Within a circuit of
little more than twelve miles, more
than two millions of Inliabltante
were crowded, of whom (about one
million were slaves." But Paul—
"Nero, the emperor to whom Paul
had appealed, was too much engaged
in his debaucheries and. pleasures to
pare much for such a man as Paul or
such accusations as were made
aaggaalnet him by the Jewe," By himself
Ude lenity wee probably due to the
commendation of the centurion Jui-
fus,—Cam. Bib. With a so1dler—The
testate was to chain the prisoner by
tee hand to the guard.
II. The first .Interview with the
Jews (vs. 17-22). 17. After t !tree days
—.Three days after Paul's arrival at
Rome, he invited those who presided
over the Jewish oommunity to visit
Mtn. the first steps on passing be-
yond the narrow circle of those al-
ready converts were directed, In ac-
cordance .with hla established prin-
'c(ple, toward Israel. And al 1(8 clr-
Oumetancee did not allow }rim to trek

Itivee of the Jewish congregation to
!Dome to his lodging.—Lange. Men
and brethren—"This address to the
.seiembled Jews to of a personal na-
ture, and 1s intended to counteract
oertaln prejudices which, the Roman
Jews might entertain, In cones•
queow. partly of Paul's imprison -
Meat, partly of the fact that he had
appealed unto the emperor, anti
pertly elf any 'slanders possibly
brought from Judea."
1.9, Let me go—He narrate,
briefly the events given in eliapters
1J1 to 26.—Tho Hannan officials re-
peatedly failed to find cause of of-
fence 11I film. To appeal—Paul de-
clared that itis appeal to the emper-
or heel become lodlepeneablyi neces-
sary, because the Jews opposed his
acquittal, to which the Roman au-
thorities judged him to be entitled.
He elates that it had not been hie
latentlon to bring any accusation
against his people before the em-
peror,

Israel Is the general expectation of
Ute Messiah.

theme that doctrine of lie kingdom

PRACTICAL SURVEY.
A. farorod prisoner. Paul had for a
long time deslrtrl to see Rome, and
about two years previous the Lord
had maid to hint, ".1s thou hast tea -
tilled of Me In Jerusalem, so mot
thou bear witness also at Rona•."
Although he went am a prisoner, he
no Lew on that account felt that
he watt following God. During the
terrible experience at sen, when the
outlook one anything but favorable,
Paul wee full vt courage and was
more commander of the ship than the
master himself. It was n bleeehtg to
that Crew that they had such a man
on (ward. On the Island the Lord
UM! this man for Hie glory, and
through Paud'e prrseneo the ship's
crow were kindly treated.
The Jews Committed, After only
three drys' delay Paul Is about
one of elle great objects of hie
Journey to Rome. The cider of the
Jews are palled and to then he

Hie sect everywhere spoken
against. The Jews Bald, "For as con-
cerning this Nest, we, know that
everywhere It Is spoken against."
Wo have reason to be thaukful
that the 0001 of which Paul WAN
a part has an exletenee 011 earth
to -day. There are two prineipal
reasons why the children of God
are spoken agatnet. The first ren -
son Is that their spirit in radically
different from that which Charoo-
terizes the 'world, The second reit-
e071 for (flus opposition to ('lIrlet-
