III. The journey to Caesarea (vs. 7)

veseel; it sailed southward thirty miles
to Ptolemais, the modern Acre. Here the
sea voyage ended. At Ptolemais Paul
remained oue day with the brethren,
• and the next day travelled by land the
remaining thirty-sie miles to Camarea.
8. Philip -After a silence of about
twenty years, following upon Philip's
ministry in Samaria, and to the Ethic, -
plan treasurer (Acts 8: 5-40), we meet
at Caesarea., tele& had ever since
been his home. The seaport was the re-
sidence of the Roman governors of the
proviriee of Judea. One of the seeen-
One of the deacons appointed with Ste-
phen (chap. 6: 5.) He should be dis-
tinguished from Philip the apostle.
IV. Events ritseCaesarea (vs. 9-14.) 9,
Four daughters .... did prophesy -The
house of the evangelist Philip became,
in consequence ef the fulfilment of the
propheey in Joel 2; 28, the honored cen-
tral eoint of the Christian congregation
of Caesarea. His four daughters, who
had received the gift of prophecy and of
interpretation, furnish new and clear
evidence that all believers alike enjoy
the privileges of Christianity; and even
the earlier instances: of the prophetesses
Miriam, Deborah, ete., prove that there
is no difference in the kingdom of grace
between male and female. -Lange. To
prophesy is to speak "to edification and
exhortation and comfort" (I. Cor. 14:
3.) Where these young women preached,
"whether to women orily, or in private
house's, or to public •assemblies,' we do
neeknow. The statements of theNew
Testament clearly iihow that ctoa calls
women the same as men to preach his
gospel.

3. Praying. Kneeled down .. prayee"
(v. 0.1 Prayer in the cell of faith to the
eer of mercy (Hob. 4: 16.) Prayer is the
Spirit of God breathing in the soul of
Iii child Motu. 8: 10.). Prayer is the
means of delivery fro mevery vice and
the obtaining of every virtue (John 14;
13, 14.) Prayer is a force in the uui.
verse. "Om of Goclei laws is, that a
magnet held over a bit of stool shall act
with potency agaiust the lave of grave
tfttion, and cause the steel to go up in-
stead of dowp. There is no conflict or
auspeesion of laws but a haentonione 00-
working of two laws, both operative in
their time and sphere. A. law of God
is that the prayer of faith shall be a
force in the universe. to co -work bettefl.
chilly with other laws and effect results
otherwise imposeible. A storm rages
violently on the sea. The waves are
raised according to law and would de-
stroy the frail vessel tossed by them,
but for oil from the decks, of the imper-
iled craft, which stills the restless waves
in accordance with another law.'
11. Jounreyieg. "We took ship" (v. (3).
Comparing life to e voyage and yourself
to a vend, as Talmage suggest% seee
that, 1. Your craft is made of the tim-
bers of truth. 2. Love is the helm.
Pride, ambition ot avarice will strand
any ship. 3. Christian perseverance is
the prow, out so as to override the bil-
lows. With courage in front and fear
aft no broadside of trouble can sweep
the deck or fill the hatches. 4. Bails
made of faith will waft any ship har-
boeward. 5. The running rigging must
be prayer. Pulling, on the promises you
will hoist the sane of faith and move
steadily onward. 6. For a compass use
tho word of God. Study is daily. Bail

ILL Prophesying. "Four daughters,
virgins, which did propbesy" (v. 9). "He
that prophesieth speaketh unto mon to
edification, and exhortation, and com-
fort" (1 Cog 14:3). Prophecy is not so
much prediction as inspiration; not only
foretelling but warning, instructing, com-
forting and. helping undei• the direct in-
spiration of the Holy Spirit (Luke 7:16,
28; 24:19; lia 2:7; Hag. 1:13).
TV. Enduring. "Ready -to die -
for the name of the Lord" • (v. 13). Jai
the Armenian neasaseres one young wo-
man, whose name means "unfailing, was
taken captive with her Bible in- her
hand. She wee not injured as were most
of the women, but was told, as she WAS
being caviled away, that she must ac-
cept Mohammedanism. She would not.
They threeteneil to take her life, but
she was true. Again and again they
urged her, but she refused, saying, "Bin
me noweif you must. lel never become
a Moslem," and took out her Bible and
read to them. At length, hitimidated by
the girl's firmness, they let her go, and
she found her 'key back to her home ma -
harmed. It Means mueb. to be ready
for whatever May come upon us. Paul
was ready for 'service or sacrifice, ready
to suffee, ready to live or ready to die.
Only those who are dwelling in the will
of God have such an experience -an ex-
perience of rest, quietness, assurance.-
A. C. M.
iug some mesemploy
,Tewish prophets (lee. 20: 2; Jec. 13: I;
Beek. 4: I), this Christian prophet took
Paul's girdle and with it bound his own
hands and feet. Using the prophetic
Perm of the Old Testament, "Thus Kith
the Loi" yet changing it to suit the
new dispensation of the Spirit( he cites
the Holy Spirit as explicitly announc-
ing Paul's capture and imprisonment in
Jerusalem. This prediction was ful-
filled not many days after. -Butler. 11.
Citirele-Girdle were quite large, aild
made of linen or leather. In eastern
countries they are used to bind loose,
flowing robes about the waist. -So

mans who actually put the apostle in

prophecy was strictly fulfilled in every
partioular. At Jerusalem Paulewaieee.
livered into the Minds of the Roman
ee soldiers and was sent back to Caesarea
a prisoner. He remained in prison at
Outraea about twos years, and was 'then
taken to Rome, Where he was kept two
years longer. During these long, years
of prison life we hear no repining word
from reAll. He Is always rejoicing and
seems to forget hie own itfflictiorts izi
effort to comfort Others. Some et
Paul's best and most helpful epistle
were written while he was under bonds
and elmined to a Emden soldier; but
the word of God Was not bound. So it
has tempi been. Out of our afflictions

selves, but also to others, Examples:

mimes of the Christian eiseipies ic deep
conviction of the certaitety of future
evil to Paul at Jerusalem. Under this
convietion they unitedly besought him
not to go to the Ogee of danger.

received lore gives -meagre details of
the loss of a yaebt itaid to be connected
with the mission work of Dr. Grenfell.
Last evening the/ inspector -general
of police received a message from St.
Anthouy eaeing that the steamer Pros-
pero (Capt. Kean) brought news of
the supposed wreck of a steam yacht
from New York, near the entrance to St,
Anthony.
11 is believed that all on board per.
ished.
It is supposed to IA the yacht that
was given Dr. Grenfell for missionary
purposes.
A fishing beet hauled up a new log'
line and got it buoyed near the seene to
magic, the spot where the ship went
down.
- Further news is expected. on the arri-
val of the Prospero on Friday.
It is heraly likely that Dr. Grenfell
'emelt would be on the goat, as he al-
waye travels on the Strathcona, a yacht
that was given him some years ago by
Lord Strathcona. The yacht mentioned
in the despatch is an American one, giv-
en bini at New York. His.headquartere,
hoe ever, are at St. Anthony, whore the
wreck is reported frome About three
weeks ago. he left to return to the Lab-
rador coast, after &Hearing lectures at
Yale and Harvard Colleges on his work.
'The Andrew 3. McCosh, a memorial to
Dr. Andrew J. McCosh, of Princeton, left

Wilfred T. Grenfell as an emergency

The yacht is fitted up with air auxiliary
engine, but it was the intention to have
her proceed under canvas whenever it
Wtt.4 possible.
Under the personal command of Sir
James Whitney, who stood at the head
of the stair*, the perliamentary fire
department commenced operations,
throwing four streams of water. The
Prernier bad energetic lieutenants in
Mr. A. W. Campbell, Deputy Minister of
Public/ Werke, and Architect Ileakes.
While'his ministerial chief was direetng
the fire -fighting, Hon. W. J. Hanna, the
Provincial Secretary, organized the staff
into a salvage corps to save papers and
aocutrientsein various departments, The
Minister assigned to the officers of eaoh
branch the responsibility for the papers
in their charge, withethe result that the
important documents were speedily de-
ported to places of safety.
WORKED LIKE FIRE-FIGHTERS.
The Ministers worked and eweated
like firemen. Sir James, in the drench-
ing water, his begrimmed face sheltered
by upturned collar, and his hat broken
in by falling d'ebeis, was in the thick of
the fire -fighting. Ion. Mr. Hanna,
equipped in an old coat and cap and
heavy gloves,:was assisting the men who
were removing property. Hon. Mr. Foy
aud Mr. Chas. Chase worked near Sir
Jamie, the latter with his coat off and
the perspiration dripping from his face.
-Ministers, Iteputy Ministers and clerks
commingled as volunteer fire-fighters.
Moore. J. L. Sounsell. Gordon South-
ern and Hope Gibson, Hamilton' mem-
bers of the Zinged cricket team, play-
ing on the tfntversity grounds, assisted
in getting out three lines of hose ineide
the building.
It would be about 1.30 o'clock, with a
roar, the whole eentra of the wing .rash -
ed down, wiping out a considerable pole

and most important in Canada. The city

Papers, books, documents and furni-
ture were now clogging the smoke -
beclouded and watery Corridors, end
were being carried out as rapidly as pos-
sible. Burning debris seemed to be fall-
ing everywhere, and men were engaged
in removing the paintings and ptotures
from the main Corridor.
While the firemen were coneentrat-
eirig their energies on the north end of
the wing, Hon.. Mr, Fey discovered
that flames were spreading over the
roof of the Chamber, end there was
danger of the Legislative halls going,
Firemen and dell servaets, headed by
the •Attorpey-General himself, with
axes, hurried to out off the connection.
LOSS OF PROVINCIAL LIBRARY.
Unfortunately; in the meantime the
fire had eaten its way doWn to the
Provineial Library, And while a hun-
dred workmen were at work prepar-
ing the foundation of' the new fire-
proof wing where the literary trea-
sures of Ontario were to be housed,
