he entered Corinth was t� find home

of his "affliction and distress" (1 Thess.

being in want. 'Then his .small success
at Athens and the uncertainty with re-
spect to the churches in Macedonia
doubtless weighed heavily upon him. But
when. Silas •and Timothy arrived Paul
was encouraged. He now learned that
the churches he had formed were stand-
ing fast in the faith. This led him to
write his first epistle to the Thessa-

He took with him Aquilla and Priscilla.
The apostle did not tarry long at Ephe-
sus, but promised to visit them. again.
Aquilla and his wife remained at Ephe-
sus and accomplished some good' results
before Paul's return. From Ephesus
Paul sailed to Caesare and then pre.
eeeded overland to Jerusalem. His stay
here was short. This Wits the 'fourth
time he had' visited the city since his
conversion. He saluted the enurch and
hurried on to Antioch. This city, the
starting point of all of Paul's mission-
ary journeys, was his home; that is, if
he could be said to have a home, The
°bleCt of this Visit was to report his
work to the ehurches and to refresh his
own soul by communion with the saints.
Experience has shown that it is advan-
tageous for missionaries to occasionally
return home.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
Opposition and Encouragement.
1. Journeying. "Paul .., ca.me to
Corinth" (v. 1). Paul went alone, a
total stranger, to the great, wicked city
of Corinth, without money, friends or
influence. The streets were thronged.
The theatres were full, Trade and pleas-
ure occupied and intoxicated the people
and none thought or eared for the am-
bassador of heaven with hie loving heart
and wonderful message. He had no let -
tees of introduction. If he should have
any plaee or poWer in that visit God
must win it for him. He had no money,
so the first thing to do was to get em-
ployment, and lie went in search of it
and "found"eAquilla. and Priscilla (v. 2).
II. Persecuted. "Claudius had com-
manded all Jews to depart from Rome"
(v. 2), The presence of God turne every
curse into a blessing (Dent. 23: 5), every
sorrow into a joy (John 16: 20). The
cruel decree of a Roman emperol ban-
ished Aquilla and Priscilla from home
and forced them to a strange city. It
was love paving the way for them to
become co-labbrers with the great apos-
tle in the great week of preaching the
gospel, the heavenly Father giving' them
the precious privilege of providing a
home and an occepation for his loved
apostle. The holy friendship, born in
'the workshop at Corinth, continued un-
broken to the last hour df Paul's life.
Paul taught, them and they in turn- in-
Atructed others (18: 24-28). ,What Paul
wrote from Rome of others was also tree
in its spirit, of that faithful man end his
wife. "The thine'z which happened unto
me have fallen ouG rather unto the fer-
theranee of the gospel" (Phil..1: 12-14).
III. Working. "He abode with them,
and wrought, for they were tent-
makers" (v. 3). It was not pride of per-
sonal independence -which. kept Paul from
receiving the ministerial support from
the feeble; partially instructed churches,
which he so earnestly insisted upon in
his letter to the Corinthians (1 'Con 9:
7-11). •"Ls wrought with his' hands. The
gospel is a great gift (john 8 16). It
asks men to believe and receive, to trust
and test. It was 'well that the highest
apostle of grace should 'give in his meas-
ure finitely as Gad does in his infin-
itely. An evangelist or minister imitates
Paul in his self-denying labor for the
gospel: 1. When lie„ds Will to work with
his hands, rather then beg, borrow or g�
in debt. Paul was a tent -maker, not a
tent merchant. 2. When he cares more
for souls than for salary.
IV. Cheered. "Then spake the Lord
13e not afraid" (v. 9), Paul may
have been tempted to doubt whetherIis
call into Macedonia' had been from the
Lor4 after all, for he had been impris-
on:ed and beliteri at Phillippi (AeDt- 10:
23, 24); driven by persecution from
Thessaloniee and Berea (17: 9, 10).
mocked and udsuccessful at Athens (17;
32-34); tonipelled to lettve the 'syna-
gogue here at Corinth (v. 6). It had
been one long siege of trial from the
first, and even his iron nerve gave way
and his courage tottered. He had come
to them tin weakness and in fear, and
in mlich trembling" (1 Cor. 2: 3), The
persecution was bitter'and Paul was
"afraid." Thill the Lord same in the
night by a vision.
V, Teaching. "Teachirig the mend (V.
11). .Preeching is for the Conversion of
sinners; teaching is for the upbuilditig
of sains. The message to the unsaved
differs( from the one to the saved, but
they should both be from "the Word."
Thiree-three times in Acts is "the word!'
mentioned, in' connection with preaching
and teaeliing, "They that Were seat-
tered •abroad went everywhere preach-
ing the word" (8: 4).

on the occasion of his enthronement,
while Abbe Carteau was fined $5 for
subsequently reading the Cardinal's
discorso from the pulpit. Neither the
Cardinal or Abbe were present.
The former's offence was committed
when he was installed as Archbishop of
Bordeaux. He said that bad laws were
not binding on the conscience, adding,
"Since those that have been enacted
compromise the most sacred interests
of the Church and family, we have not
only the right, but it is also our duty
to disobey them."
Practically all the Bishops of France

London, July 26. -Mr. Harold A. Rich-
ardson of London, ()Marie, who has
been liere two years in connection with
an improved. process for the manufac-
ture of armor plate, seen by the Calm-
dian Associated Press at Hyde Park Ho-
tel, said he had scored a great success in
the tests of his plate by the naval LAU-
thorities widen culminated on -Saturday
at Whale Island. A six-inch plate was
fired at from a distance of 120 feet by
a 9.2 -inch gun with armor -piercing cap-
ped shells, which was it very severe test.
No impression was inade on the plate,
though. the impact shattered the shell
into it thousand fragments,.
Mr. Richardson estimates his produc-
tion as at least 25 per cent, better than
the German plate, and says it should
prove of inestimable value to the Admir-
alty, with whom he has been negotiating
for some time. He intends giving the
old weary the sole benefits of his pat-
ent. He already has purchased a site
here for it plant, and says he is backed
by big men. He sails for Canada Satur-
day for a short holiday.
He hinted that the Admiralty is hold-

t
This story was obtained from the
prince's own lips by friends a few days
ago 1» Munich, where the couple is
spending the honeymoon.
Prince Alfonso and Princess Beatrice
first met on the oceaiiion of King Al-
fonso's marriage to Princess Ena of
Battenhorg in 1006. The mince fell des
perately in love with the princess and
proposed marriage, but Beatrice refused
him.
Both the Queen and the Queen mother
espoused the prince's cause and sought
to induce Beatrice te relent, The prin-
cess, however, declared that she never
would change her religion, but finally,
when she said she had no objection to
rearing her children as Catholics, the
Queen mother replied:
"Then there is not the slightest diffi-
culty to the union. I always said that
if I had had a second son he should
have married a Protestant:" She added
ethesattors.
she herself had Protestant an -
Later, at La Granja,- Ring Alfonso,
formally asked the hand of ,Princess
Beatrice for his cousin, and when Beat-
riacejesrtayisesdaid:th° queetion of religion, his
majesty
"I give you my word of honor there
will not be the slightest .difficulty."
The prince then again proposed and
was accepted.
Premier Mama said the marriage of
an infante of Spain to it Protestent
could not take , place on account ,of the
difficulties it would cause the govern-
ment.
PrincesBeatrice, because of her
friendship for Queen Victoria, said she
would give up the prince,. who asserted
that he intended to marry the princess,
regardless of consequences.
Ring Alfonso declared him giving of-
ficial eonsent to the marriage without
the approval of his ministers, he, as Al-
fonso of Bourbon, would do everything
in his power for the couple.
Princess Beatrice then departed from
Mardid, and Prince Alfonso, upon the
advice of the Ring, -went to see Pope
Pius and asked for a dispensation for it
mixed maaaiage, whieh neither was
granteck nor aotually refused.
When the prince was graduated from
the military school at Toledo on July
1241, he immediately volunteered to go
to the front, as the war in Morocco had
broken out, King Alfonso granted the
prince a three-day leave of absence be -
fere goings to Melilla aud urged him
secretly to marry Princess Beatrice de-
claring that he would wire the bishop
of Bomber"; to grant a dispensation.
Prince Alfonso arrived in Coburg on
July 1541 and the civil marriage took
place that morning. At 3 o'clock in he
afternoon the priest at Coburg received
a telegraphic dispensation from the
bishop of Bamberg and at. 3.30 p. m
the Catholic ceremony was performed..
The royal decree Of the degradation of
Prince' Alfonso followed.
The prince, in concluding his story to
his friends, said:
"Mauro, the head of the Clerical party
in Spain and because he holds a major-
ity in 'Parliament, forced the Ring to
kick his °ten cousin out of the country
and the army, and to strip him of title
and honors for the crime of marrying a
Protestant, who is a niece of Ring Ed-
ward and a first cousin of the emperors
of Germany and IttlaSitt." •
The prince again has wired Ring Al;
fonso, asking to be allowed to go to the
front. The Infanta .Eulalie, the prince's
mother, who is hete, is almost prostrat-
ed over the ruin of 'her son's career, as
she knew that both the Spanish and
British royal families were in perfect
sympathy with the marriage.
