Peal here had an experience of what ,lohn afterward wrote, 'Hee tbatt loved us..behold, he .comote with cloud," (Rev, 1. 4-7). Li our every trial God is with Ile aa really as Ho was tote Peel. His word is our preparation ior au a our oomfert in the trial. "The:Tray- car Paul offered in the temple, theist holy sanctuary to him, a a jeW, wi a honored of the Laid by being answered with a manifestation of His presence, and the granting ef a special revolatieu. 411 true prayer ie answered, and. 'Goa seems to especially delight in supplica- tion offered in pewee dedicated to His name." IL The plot to murder. "We havo. bound oureolvee....we wfll .eat nothing until we have slain Paul" (Y. 14). The. Bible sage, "Weoeoleer hateth his broth- er is a murderer (I John 3:15). The man who says of an enemy, "I hate him," belongs with these blood -thirsty Jews who sought to slay Paul. K. Gerok calla attention to some oharacteristies of hatred.: 1. Hate riees early. "When it wile day"(v. 12). Love is always earlier than hate. Before any pain reaches us it has passed by infinite love. Nothing an reach us but by God's per- missien ana the greetest curse may prove the greatest blousing. 2. Hate binds men with a curse. "Bound them- selves under a curse" (v. 12). The curse le always on those who hate, not on those who are hated. "Curses like chick- ens oome home to rooae." 3. Hate de- mands satisfaction to its own hurt. "Would neither cat nor drink till they had killed Paul" (Y. 121. .A man cannot live on the liatred of his ielloweman. These conspiratore died of starvation if they kept their vow. 4. Hate is injudi- cious. "Forty made this conspiracy" (Y. 13). It is scareela possible that so many men could keep e secret. 5. Hate has no cunning against God. "They came to the chiet priests" (v. 14). They trusted their own cunning and men. "The forty conspirators sought no help and f eared no hindrance- from God, though their de- sign was made in the name of their reli- gion. But when the works of religion are hatred ancl thirst for blood, God is opposed to it.'' God .elves men certoin freedom. but he holds himself ready to hinder cell in his own time and. way. He ia continually saying to the wicked by his proviaences, `Thus far halt thou go and no farther." 6. Mete will not hesitate to lie. Bring him down as though you, would inquire -something (v. 15. Under pretense of sending for Paul to •question him, • they prepare to kill him. Hatred stops short of no sin to 'carry on its foul designs. 111. Promptnees in,aetione"Heard.... went" (v. 16). Had the young man de- layed God. must bay* 'worked a. miracle to save Paul. "It is a lifelong, disadvan- tage to be slow," Sir Walter Scott wrote, "Beware. of what women call dawdling. Do :itletantly whatever is to bo done, ancl take your recreation after business, "neverbefore it." It is • said of one who octiue. to great distinction in the house of eommons that the first time he spoke ap that assembly be rose hastily and. gate expression to his senti- ments. Ile sat down fearing he had blundered, In a moment a bit of paper was handed him by the greatest states- man of the -clay, containing only these words, "You'll do." He was SO encour- aged that he preserved that bit of pa- per among his treasures. It was handed down as an heirloom. In a certain man- sion it hangs handsomely framed in.the hall: and a knowledge of the history of the little words, "You'll do," says to every one, "Be prompt, decisive, come ageous."-A. C.

Boston, Oct. 4. -After years oe nialerre -lug, the plans of Edwin Gino, the Boston publisher, to promulgate universalpeece are ready to launch. Ib is Me. Ginn's ambition to see established what he calls an Internatidnal School of Peace to be conducted along sound business lines: When the proper time conies he will lay the foundation stone of such a school by an annual contribution of $50,000, and will c mem:, it after 'his death. For it long time this well-hnown publisher hes had two persons working out bjs ideas and putting theM into. proper shape. They are Edwin G. Metull and Miss Anna B. Eckstein, both of: whom have practically a world-wide. recognition in the cause of universal/ peace. The International Scheel p.1 Peace;„ which 11r. Ginn would have fouedede is intended to provide permituent legat machinery for receivingband disbursing eontributions and bequests. It is Mr, Ginn's idea that there ShouTd be it bureau of education, which should attempt to inodify thecourses of study in schools, eolkges and universities, so as to miaimize the achievements of war. Another part of his plan is the estab- lishment by the Government of a seltool for the edueaton of its public servants, and a bureet under the council of a Cithinet officer, whose duty it should be to study broadly international relations. Says Mr. Ginn specifieally on this point: "Tile time may vane, I hope speedily, when thes Minister of Neee. will be regraded as quite as important, to the hump ritee as the Minister of: War." • e - THREW HIWI OVER..
