Whatever may have been Ins reason, Paul did not oonsider his course justifiable (see chap. 15: 37, 38.) 14. Caine to Antioch -Evidently tho mis sionstries did not remain long at raga, but soon continued their jouvney north to Antiech in risidia. They now enter- ed into the unerangelized regions, en- eountering many dangers and enduring many privations. "To this journey, without doubt, belong many of the per- ils and dangers described by Paul in 2 Cor. 11: e3-27." Tho distance from Purge to Antioch wee eighty to one hundred miles by road; tbe roads were N^ery bad end the countty swermeil with desperate characters. Antioeh was an important eity, inhabited by many Greek's, Romans and Jews, in ad- dition to its nateve population, Here was a synagogue df the Jews, and. *hen the evangelists reached the city theer first work was to attend the services on the Sabbath day.

When 1'401 and Barnaleas preached almost the whole city came to hear the word of Geed, When John the Baptist preached the baptism of repentance for the remission of Ohs there went out to him all the land of Judea, and. they of Jerusalem (Mark 1: 4, 5). When Luther preached jestifica- teen by faith, the people crowded to hear him. 'When Whitfield preached the wit- ness of the Spirit, thousands stood. in the open air eagerly drinking in his svords. For more than twenty years in two continents Moody told the simple story of salvation to multitudes of Peeole. IL it arouses oppositlon. At Antioch the Jews spoke against Paul.- They per- muted hitu aud Barnabas, and expelled them. We anutet expect sometimes to suffer ill for doingewell. When the word. of the Lord is fitielifulty preatehed, men, and women will persecute. Jesus said, "I came not to send peace but a sword" (Matt. 10: 34). Ile warned his disciples that the world would scourge them, hate them, arrest them and persecute them (Matt, 10: 10-23; John 15: 19e 20). To rebuke the world's sin is to suffer the world's scorn. Herodias will not have John the Baptist condemning her licen- tiousness (Matt. 14; 3-10). ILL It eausea division. 'the Jews *con- tradicted and blaspliemed. 97be Gen- tiles were glad, and glorified the word of tbo Lord. Tho Joihs "were filled -with envy." "The disciples were filled with joy." The Greeks nelievedabut the un- believing love stirred up the Gentiles. The waves that do not beat down the shore harden the sands. The same sun. mealts wax and hardens clay, makes the living plant eerow and bloom, but causes -die elle thet it dead to decay. The preaohing of the gospel is a blessing to the ono whc receives it, and a curse to the ono who. rejects it. The sermeu which does not softea the heart, hard- en it. The world is divided; part holds with the -devil, and part holds with Jesus. IV. It brings vietory. At Antioch as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. There is no such thing as de- feat to the true gospel preacher. Con- teadietion, division, opposition and faith, mete work out the divine pur- poses. Paul declares, "Now thanks be unto God, which always eauseth • us to triumph in Chrlet, andemaketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. For we aro unto - God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved and. in them that perish; to the one we are the•sevourfof death un- to deaths and to the other the savour of life unto life" (2 Cor. 2:14-16). V. It reacts in. blessing. To the Chris - lien there is a glad side to every sad incident. For the sinner there is a Savior; for the sick, a Physician; for the sorrowful, a Comforter; for the per- plexed, a Guide; for the persecuted,. a Deliverer. ITow does the record read concerning these new disciples? That they were filled with dismay because the wealth:and nobility of the city were against. them? That they were -filled with sorrow that their lathers in the gospel had been persecuted? That they were filled with • fear lest their turn should come next? That they were fill- ed with grief that they had lost their testeherst No! "They were filled with joy and with the . Holy Spirit." To be filled with the Spirit' eve must be emptied of self. This Is God's work. -Abandoned to him, desiring his fulness, seeking to be filled only for his glory, believing that he does it, is our part. Ito will empty, cleanse, 5111 and. use. When the Holy Spirit fills our heart he gives joy. A.

Well, the deed has been done, the "publie execution," as Chairman Coats - worth expresses it, has taken place. and 41 hotel licenses haye.been cut off. Three months from now the places will be clos- ed. The action is the result of the civic legislation following the passage- last Now Year's Dey of a referendum on the question of reducing the number of liq- uor licenses in the City of Toronto to 110 from 150. There was less than the stipulated „number issued, however, Iset year, so that the reduction of 42 ac- complished the desired cud.

For the greater part of 'the day Chief Campeau was on the witness stand, Rad his evidence goes to show that he frequently withdrew caeca when saloon keepers were able to "make terms" with hint. Ono of the features to -day was the objections of counsel fur Chief Cainpeau and Ald. :Panda to the (mellows of the Citizens' Conimittee. Mr. Laporte, hotel keeper, swore that he lied gone to Chief Campeau and leid two mums against him withdrawn. La- porte admitted that he and his partner hail each paid subscriptions to the elec- tion fund of Ald, Proulx. Mr. Laflamme examined Mid Cann - peau regarditig Vac city police systoiu generally, and regardiqg the system that had been followed in the police de- partment since 105 in order to enforce fultillinen•t of the licensing laws. In 1907 a "secret system'? had. been intro- duced ioto this work af saloon super- vision, end -under it the work of one man could be checked by anotber. The secret system, however, was discontinued in 1008; "Why?" ascii Mr. teiflanune. • "I. object to the question," said Mr. Desatilnices. Chief Campeau begged leave to ex- plain that it was not the system of special constable duty that was discon- tinued, but rather the form of inquiry they mado into different matters. l'unda Were lacking for this service. • Lathantne led the witness up to the withdrawal of nowt eaaes in 1000, and Mr. Desattlniers at once objected.
