hie. At first tne missionaries were not
obliged to love; but it -was uot long
before a moveueout to mob and stone
them was. discovered and they' were conn
pelted to flee for their lives. They es-
caped to Listra, a town about twenty-
five miles southeast of Iconium. Several
weeks were spent here and tlwy preach-
ed the gospel not only in Lyetra, but al.
so in the "region that Both round
about," It seems clear front 10, 1 and
other passages that Lystra wets Tim-
othy's naive town and that he was cou-
veiled at this time.
IL The missionaries honored. (vs. 8.11.1).
8 Sat-Tge cripple's usual posture,
showing his helpless condition. Itupoteet
-Entirely deprived of the use of his
feet. 9. Heard Paul speak -There was
probably no synagogue at Lystra and
the missionaries were no doubt obliged
to epeak in the market " piece or some
other plao of public resort. Two other
'eirnilar miracles have already been re-
corded (chap. 3, 1-10; 9. 33). 1V1io.
perceiving -Paul's attention was at-
tracted by the. cripples and he fastened
his eyes upon him and saw his faith
from the expression of his couutenauce.
Faith to be healed -Be had confidence
in the power of Christ to heal him. he
must have heard of miracles which the
apostles had performed at ether placee
(see v. 3), and he had probably heard
Paul poach on other occasions 'before
this time. "The fermis word here signi-
fies to be saved, including a complete
salvation both of soul and body,
Whedon. 10. Staud, ete:g-Luke ra-akes no
mention hero of any direct appeal to the
name of 'Christ. Thatomission may be
owing to the brevity of the record, or
the tenor of Paul's discourse may have
been so explicit in regard to the source
est his authority, as te render the usual
invoation unneeessary.-Ilackett. 11. In
the speech of Lyeaonia-What this thugs
uage was we do not kuow. Whether Paul
preached to the people in_ the Greek
language or in their native tongue,
is a disputed question. Some think that
the apostles did not understand their
language, which would account for the
fact that their idolatrous proceedings
were not stopped sooner. Tho gods -
"The Gentiles had corrupted the funda-
mental doctrine of the unity of God,
and their various systems of religion
were founded ou the supposition of a
plurality of deities, male and female,
differing in their rank, their attributes,
and the functions assigned to them."
Likeness of zuen-Nothing was mode fa-
miliar to the lteath.en mind than the
thougnt of the gods assuming humau
shape and going around among man-
kind.
12. Barnabas, Jupiter -This was the
supremo divinity of the heathen and
was called the father of gods and men.
He was theeking of all the universe; his
throne was Mount Olympus. Paul, Mee
ourius-He was, in heathen Mythology,
represcuted as one of* the sons of Jup-
iter, the messenger nod chief epolsesmaii
of the gods. He was always represented
as vigorous and graceful, youthful in
appearance, eloquent and fleet of foot.
Barnabas was supposed to be Jupiter
because he was older than Paul, and
had a more dignified eppearance.„
-13. Priest of stupiter-All these deities
had, their priesta, ritesssend sacrifices.
Oxen and garlands -The oxen were for
saerlfiee, and the garlands were either
to decorate the animals'or to crown
the apostles, or decorate their house.
111, Paul's speech to the Lystrans (vs.
14-18).
-1.4. When the apoetles.. .heard -They
were probably at their lodging hottee
and the news tree carried to them thee
the sacrificial procession was coining,.
Rent their elothes-This Was U. MIAOW
ef the Jews at the death of their friends,
in times of public laeamites, and when
they heard*blasphemy witnessed any
great transegression of the law. Sprang
forth (R. V.) -They Were horror-strick-
en and rushed into the multitude do
stop the proetsedinge. 15. Like aions
-Subject to the sante infirmities and
sufferings-mortols like youreelvee.
"The expression means no more than
are are truly human being, with the
eagle powers and appetites as your own;
ueed food and raiment as you do, mid
are all mortal like yourselves'" (sets Jae.
507). Britig yon good tidings SR. V.) -
It is a message of good Udine Which Si.A8
fott.h the livnig Clod to men in place of
dunde idols. These vanitiee-The week
"vanity" and "vain"' were used by the
Jews to describe the emptiness of hea-
then svorehip (Epit. 4, 17; T. Pet. 1, 18).
In the Old Testament, the heathen gods
are etyled yanitks. "All the trinkets
of modern itiolatry-wealth, honor, ambi-
tion, sieful pleasures' -are all vanities.
They cannot satisfy the soul." Living
God -This is the most glorious of all the
names of God. The gods of the heathen
istield were lifeless and powerless (1"aa.
145, 15-18). Which made -The Author
and Creator of the universe, therefore to
ilim atone all worship and honor are due.
16. Li times past -The period before the
time of Christ. $utfered-Perinittee, al.
lowed. .M1 natiens-All the Gentile set -
tions; the Hebrew nation had a. direct
revelation from God. Their own ways--
G.od tvithdrew the restraints of ltis grace

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS,
Paul Preaching to the Gentiles,
1. Perfortniug a -miracle, "The people
saw wbut Patti Jjad done" (v, 11.) They
saw how "the gospel" was "the power
of God" (Rom. Is 10.) The faith of the
(ripple for healing slue founded. Oil the
word of tIod (vs. 7-10; Psit. 107: 20;
Prov, 4; 20-22, marg.; Matte 8; 9.) Mir-
eele3 aro God's seal upoR the truth of
Christianity.
IT. Praised, "The gods are come down
...,Jupiter --Mercury" (vs. 11, 12, It,
V.) In -the old, sequestered, provineial
town of Lystro the people easily credit-
ee the legends of their gods. And dhe
perhaps they loved best, was the story
m Ovid of Philemon and Ba.ucis. This
aged couple liveein their humble eot-
tege, when Jupiter and Mercury, travel-
ling in .disguise through Asia, came t
thew Lome. The old women welcomed
the strangera and entertained them
-
with her best. :lu return for this hos-
pitality, Jupiter changed the cottage la-
te a beautiful temple and coustituted
Philemoe and Teams if s priests. They
prayed to Jupiter that they might both
di ette the same time and neither know
the sorrow cf following the other to the
grave. Their prayer was tweed. They
lived long and happily, and both died
et the mine moment -and were changed
lute two beautiful trees whieh stood in
freat of telt temple. -Teo temple and.
trees before this town may have been
associated in the minds of these people
withthis story. And when they saw
the wonderful miracle of healing, they
thoeght that beneficent Jupiter aud
eloquent 'cosupauione Mercury, had come'
sterain to bless them.
TEL Popular. "The priest....would
have dello sacrifice" (v. 13). The prieit
of Jupiter sharing in tho enthusiasm of
the people, woulti have sacrificed to
Barnabas and Paul. Herod accepted the
world's worship and died .(cluep. 12;23).
They refused the world's worship and
lived (v, 20). Captain Cook allowed
lifinself to be taken for Oro, the god ot
war, in the Sandwich Islands, and to be
worshiped with idolatrous ceremonies,
thinking to have more affluence With
the heathen, but the savages killed him
after they had worsniped him. Jesus
said, "How can yo believe, Nirliich receive
glory one of autether, and the glory that
cometh from the only God ye seek uot?"
(John 5:0, R. V.). Chinese Gordon,
asked wbethers he did not desire 'tom-
panionehip in his long rides over the
desert., retitled: "If you can find a nion
who despises the honors and wealth of
this world, seed him to nee; .he might be
some company." He refused tho honor
of mem ant when the Chinese gave Ulm
e memorial .medal for kis services he
sent it home to Manchester, England, to
be melted and the money given to the
poor.
IV. Protegine, "Sirs, why do ye
these things?" (e'. 15). They begin with
a pertinent question, speftk one personal
sentence, and then courageously press
home the "good things" of a salvation
from "vain things" (R. V.) to tlie "Ey-
hie God," who had never left "himself
without witness" (v. 17), as their wav-
ing harvests testified.
Vs. Persecuted. "Jaws from Adtioch
and leoniutre, who persuaded the people,
and, having Stoned Paul, drew hith out
of the city .dad" (v. 19). At An-
tioch the Jews spake against Paul, per.
Booted him and Barnabas and expelled
them (13:45, 50). At Iconituu they
plotted to assault them, use them de-
spitefully and stono them (v. 5). Those
same Jews lied to the fickle erowd, and
persuaded the people to stone Paul (v.
19),
VT. Preserved. "He rose up." Nude
recovery WAS doubtless dim to the prar
ers of the disciples who "stood round,
about hind' (v. 20).

Boston Prophetess Predicts a Shock
in Lower Canada.
Poston, Mass., Alety 10. -Dr, Idintice D.
Kinney, known fat. and wide as ail
earthquake expert, and whose predic-
tions aro even accepted by scientists as
worthy of eonaideration, declares that
Lower Canada will to -morrow or Sun-
day, at the latest,„„be shaken by' a seis-
mic disturbance. "The coining of the
disturbmice," said Dr, Kinney, "is mani-
fest by a 'voila appearance in the
skies. The sky is heavy, as it was at
the time of the San Francisco earth-
quake. The etnithations ft -one the ground
east a shadow on the horizon which 1
have been studying for the past twelve
hours. As near as T. tau figure the
shock will COMO some time Saturday or
;Sunday morning, and it will be in Lower
Canada."
Dr. Kinney is the tvoenart who became
famous through predicting disturbances
of tho earth, and for 25 years has tte-
curately foretold earthquakes, including
the San Francisco and Messina shock.
°I dislike to create alarm needlessly,"
says Dr, Kinmsy, "yeti when I know that
the eheeks are wining I feel it my dute

BRADSTREET'S TRADE REVIEW
:Alvaro!: Therg has been little of no
change in the trade situation here during
the past week, Some impreveinent in
weather cosetitione has given a slightly
better tone to the movement:00f &emu-
ahle liace, and the sortiug trade in dry
goods, clothing, etc., has been fairies good.
The volume ef grocery business is re -
,ported to- be inereasing„ 'Values hold
steady. Hardware lines aro going for-
ward fairly well,
Toronto; Moro seneonable weather has
given onto iumetese to wholesale ihnete
here, sorting Orden for geueral Hoe
having increased somewhat during tho,
latter part of the week. Orders fey fall
dry goods are good, awl 11, is understood
thet stoelss of summer liaes are light
and will likely need replenishing early
in the NUS0/1. ThO trade in lineue and
Iteueeliold geode has been tudive. A
good demand for general wholesale lines
le reported from the West and most
Ontario mares.
Winnipeg: General business ltere
moves along satisfactorily. Tho demand
for seasonable lines at wholesale bas
improved during the week, and the out-
look for fall trade is nrighter. Remit-
tances are only lair, but may be cx•
peeled to improve when seeding is
finished,
Vancouver and Victorie: Both whole -
stale stud retail trade here has shown a
tandem), to inetease during the inlet
week.
Quebec: Ilitekweril weather has af-
fected country trade; the latter is mod-
erate in -volume. ,
Hamilton: Trade lege has shown some
huprovement duriug the pant. wok
owing to better weather ,etnelitionai. A
fair eorting trade 13- in evidence, and
wholmtlers in 130100 111Ws report a algid
be iu .collections. Almuttete-
tutors of fanners' implements report
good orders on hand, and the outlook for
fait businees is generally considered
bright.
London: dthe sorting trade err dry
goods, clothing, de., has shown some
little improvement durieg the past week,
although the .movement ia81111 ousiders
ably behind extretalions.
