their light, were in the way of eaves

YO -She received and obeyed the truthe
of the gospel, "The evidences of Lydia's
conversion are (1) an open heart, (2) an
open mind, (3) an open mouth, (4) an
open hand, (5) an open home. No less
than these are found in every truly
eonverted heart. By using well the light
alio had, Lydia was prepared for great -
or light adn larger blessings,"

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
Effective Missionary Labors.
I. The call. 1. Personal, "There stood
a man" (v. 9), The ery was from a man
to a man, As individuals we' must give
and receive the gospel. One evening, a
missionaryreturning from a preaching
excursion among the Burmans, found on
entering his home a Sagu chief seated
like a child at his wife's feet earnestly
imploring her to visit the lIarens in
the village. Ile said, "We hay° heard of
Christianity and it seems wonderful, the
thing we want. 'Come to our jungle
homes and preach to us on our native
streams. I have a wife, daughters, sons-
in-law, brothers and nephews, all of
whom will become Christians, as well
as myself, as soon as we really under-
stand." In a short time this chief be-
came a most efficient native missionary.
2. Pitiful. "There stood a man ....
and prayed him" (v. 9). The need of
the heathen ,is their most heart-rending
cry. A missionary from China told how
she, with others, stopped at a little
town on a river to have a boat repaired
and she landed and gathered ft few *o-
men together to tell them about Jesus.
A s she talked, their longing to know
was evinced by their eager questions.
When she 'started for the boat they
caught her hands and her dress and held
her and, begged her to stay. One weman
followed her to the boat weeping and
saying, "Van% go; please don't go;
there won't be anybody to tell us aboilt
Jesus."
NMI'S Journey from Antioch to Phil.
IppiwActs 15: 36-16:15.
Commentary. Paul's second yds -
denary journey begua (vs. 30.41). SoMe
time after their return from the Jerusa-
Jen: council Paul proposed to liarnabas
that they again. visit the churches which
they had founded in Asia Minor. These
churches need apostolic care and. train-
ing. Barnabas was ready to go, but
wished to take with him his nephew,
John Mark, who had left them on their
Bret miesionary journey. Paul refused,
and the difference of opinion was so
Marked that they separated. Th,ere is
nothing te bear out the supposition that
they separated in anger. Paul chose
Silas, one of the delegates sent to An-
tioch from the Jerusalem council, and
went north Offen*. Asia Minor; while
Barnabas chose John Mark and jour.
neyed to Cyprus, his former home.
IL Paul in, Asia Minor (vs. 1-8). 1-5A
Starting from Antioch Paul first traV.
eled, through Syria. Be then entered
Cilieia and came to Verbe and Lystra,
where he had planted churches on his
first missionary Journey. ,At Lystra he
found Timothy, who joined him and be-
came his life-long companion. Timothy
had been taught the holy scriptures
from his youth, was trained to a rs-
ligious life, and was prepared throu4h
the providence of God by the bight of
Paul's sufferings to "endure hardaess as

gospel was at first received with enthus-
iasm, but as quickly forsaken when
Judiastic teachers appeared to pervert
his influence. No places are wiped as
visited„ but the Roman road wqfld lead
him through Pessinus, Aneyra and Tay-
iunr, three important cities in the pro-
vince."-Buribut, Forbidden to
preach in Asia -This was not the
continent, nor Asia Minor, but the
Roman province, bordering on the Aegean
• Sea, of which Ephesus was the capital.
It included 'the entailer provinces of
Carla, Lydia, Mysiii and the interior and
• of Phrygia. The missioaries were not
permitted to stop in Asia at this time
as God had a wider field for them to
bccupy, but on his next missionary
journey Paul entered Ephesus, and for
nearly three years preached to Jews and
Greeks in Asia. 7. Mysia-A province
on the Aegean Sea. Assayed -Were in-
tending to go. Bithynia-Wortheast of
Xysia, on the southwest shore of the
Black Sea. Suffered tthem not -The
Spirit was leading them westwarci to-
ward the seacoast and Europe. 8. Pass-
ing by -They were obliged to pass
quough Mysid in order to reach Troas,
b,ut they omitted it as a preaching place.
Came down to Troas-A noted seaport,
where travellers from the upper coast of
Asia commonly took ship to pass into
Europe. Here Paul ani his assistants,
Silas and Timothy, were joined by Luke,
the writer of this history.
111. Paul led by the Spirit into Europe
(vs. 0-15.) 9. A vision -This was the
third supernatural revelation; not a
dream, but a waking vision. A man -
Not an actual Macedonian, nor their ac-
tual representative, stood before Paul,
but probably an angel in the form of a
man. "The heathen do not preeent
themselves before us but God casts a
shadow of their need, and himself call;
Us. Not lack of visicins, but lack of
obedience is ours." --Pentecost. Mace-
donia -This most celebrated country lay
to the north cif Greece. Thessalenica
was its capital. Come over -Understood
by Paul to be a call from' the Lord. to
•preach in Macedonia.
10. Imneediately-Paul was ready the
moment he knew the mind of the Spirit.
eWe endeavored -By seeking for a ship
• in which to cross the Aegean Sea.
'Luke's use of the word "we" here shows
that at this point he joins the company.

3. Powerful. "Come over ....and help
us" (v. 9). It was it cry of intense de-
sire. .A. heathen woman said to a mis-
sionary' in India, "Oh, why did you not
come sooner, that, my little boy might
have been here?" She had taken her
bright, treasured boy to the jungle and
slain him, a sacrifice tq her god, before
the missionaries came. She represents
a multitude who say, "Oh, why did you
not come sooner?"
II. The converts. "Lydia e...and her
household" (vs..14, 15). 1. Devout. Lin-
ing in a heathen city where the Sabbath
was not observed, Lydia was in it place
oi "prayer" (v. 13), worshipping God
(v. 14), and so in the way to receive
Christ,
2. Industrious. She was following her
trade as a "seller of purple", (v. 14).
The idle are not in the way Of having
the heart opened by the Lordi,
3. Attentive. Lydia, "heard" (v. 14).
Having some is a preparation for more.
If you listen to the truth, the truth
will lay hold of you. "Unto you that
hear shall more be given" (Mark 4:24).
4. Receptive. Her "heart the Lord
opened to give heed" (e. 14, 11. V.) The
natural heart shut by ignorance or sin
can only be opened by the Lord. Ms
agencies are the Spirit, the word, the
preacher, the holy example, the strange
experience: and the bitter trial.
5. Obedient. 'She was baptized" (v.
15). As soon as she believed she pub-
licly professed her faith in Christ in the
appointed way. "Paul was forbidden to
preach in Asia, but his first convert in
Europe was a woman from Asia, and
when she returned to Thyatira, she may
have been instrumental in planting the
church there, which was commended for
works of love, service, faith and pa-
tience" (Rev. 2: 19, 20).
6. Hospitable. "Come" (v. 15). Paul,
Luke, Timothy and Silas had lived in
lodgings and. maintained themselves by
labor. Lydia constrained them to abide
with her. We show our love to Christ
when we cherish his friends whether
they be rich or poor, learned on un-
learned.
7. True. She was faithful to her
friends in the hour of their trial and
suffering (v. 40), and fulfilled "the law
of Christ" (Gal. 6 2).

The President of the ilelehstarr°aek.

its present form would be dropped.
Chancellor Von Buelow and his col-

the debate with the tensest interest,
The Chanceller, however'did not speak.
He left the chamber when he learned
that the voting was likely to be unfav-

New York, June 28. -"Vote for Wo-

that all the single suffragettes are sign-

bonds of wedlock with any partner who
does not say he believes in women hav-

"We, the undersigned," so rues the
official pledge, "hereby declare 'that we
will not indulge in matrimony with
any man who is not willing. to sign
an agreement that he will Only
lend his moral support to suffrage, but

A COMPROMISE.
End of Famous Winnipeg Litigation
With Czar is Plaintiff.
Winnipeg, June 28. -The famous legal •
action, in which the Czar of Russia was
the plaintiff, and in which he sought
to recover a portion of a large sum of
money which Ivan Proskowreakoff, Gov-
ernor of a Trans-Caueasion Province,
had stolen' and afterwards absconded
and settledin Winnipeg, has been set-
tled by a compromise after nearly two
years of litigation. All the real estate
and certain merchandise which had be-
longed to the unfaithful Governor have
beensesold and the proceeds divided be-
tween the Czar and representatives of
the defaulter.
The case was it most interesting one.
Proskowreakoff, after stealing the
funds, made his wee, to Canada, via Ja-
pan, and began business as an Oriental
merchant:Ho was afterwards joined by
a woman known to the Russian police
as Anna Zeman a dangerous Nihilist,
who claimed to lee his wife. Their home
became the headquarters and rendez-
vous of Russiattneefugees and outlaws,
among whom were several of the mutin-
eers who had massacred their officers
on the cruiser Potemkin in' Odessa har-
bor, and then threatened to bombard
tne city if they were molested.
Russian detectives finally located him
here, 'but Proskowreakoff was warned,
and escaped before his arrest could be
made, intelligence reaching' him before
it did the lawyers and representatives
of the Czar. He has never since been lo-
cated, but the man tele in charge of the
store has fought the case through courts
to a compromise.

North Bay despatch: The Cobalt
special express from Toronto, running
at a good rate of speed, ran into a
siding while entering the Haileybury

string of freight cars and piling them
up in a mass of twisted iron and broken
timbers. Engineer James Fry noticed
the misplaced switch in the nick of
'time, and applied the emergency brakes,
jumping for his life and. escaping in-
jury. Fireman II, Muldoon also jumped
and was injured about the head. Con-
ductor McParland escaped, and the pas -
angers, although severely shaken up and
cut by flying glass, escaped serious in-
-.jury. The engine of thd passenger train
was stripped of its smokestack and. bat-
tered up, one freight car somersaulting
over the engine and straddling the ten-
der, almost burying the engine with
broken timbers. A wreck train was early
on the scene, clearing up, and traffic

FOR MINTO CUP.
New Westminster, B. C., June 28. -
The Tecumsehs lost in their first try
for the Minn) Cup by the score of 6 to
4, when they played New Westminster
Saturday afternoon. During the first
half of the contest, which was a master-
ly exhibition of lacrosse, the Toronto
team was a match for the westerners,
and played them to.# draw, but by the
third quarter, apparently from being
out of condition for the hard pace on
account of their long journey, their de-
fence was overrun, and the Westminsters •
scored freely. For the last quarter the
play was slow, the Royal City men seem-
ing content with a good lead, to take
it easy, and the Tecumsehs thinking it
wiser to tax their fagged energies no
further and save themselves for the
final game Tuesday.
The first quarter was very fast, but
little shooting was done, Alex. Turn-
bull making the only score. In the sec-
ond quarter both teams put in their
best licks for scoring, the Teeumsehs
evening up with the locale. The Indians
displayed tho brilliant work prophesied.
The third quarter started off with the
fast work seen during the second. The
Tecumsehs were fruitlessly endeavoring
to stem the increasing flow of Westmin-
ster shots. Kinsman saved everything to
be expected. Goals scored were from
very close range. Felker, of Toronto, and
Wintemute, of Westminster, both of
whom have just recovered from siekness,
did not appear in the last quarter, the
teams playing with eleven men. In the
last two minutes Westminster endea-
vored to duplicate the final goal 'scored
by Querries.
The match was controlled by two ref-
erees with equal powers, O'Connel re-
fusing to go on as judge of play. The
absence of quarrels was very prominent,
there being no 'totalities for rough play-
ing, and no men were hurt. The Tamils
selis' tactics were similar to Westmins-
tars' -rushing in with the ball. Opin-
ion lune is that the Teeumselis will nob
land the cup, but may tie the last game.
