Paul a Prisoner -The Voyage. ----Acts
27 13-26.
Commentary. -I. The voyage to Crete
(ve. 1-12), From all the provinces ac-
cused parties were tonsteutly being sent
to Rome, end as soon as a suffieient
tompany could be gathered, Patel was
eent with them under the eliarge of
dulitts; a Roman centurion, "There was
ao ship to take them directly front
Caesarea to Rome, eo they embarked
en a vessel whieh coasted eking the
shores till they came to Myrn. in Lycht,
Asia Alinor, a port the Egyptian grain
ships had to make at certain seasons,
because of the strong west wind, Here
they found one of these ships on its
way to Rome, After they had entered
the new ship the voyage was sonthwest-
erly and slow, because the winds were
against them, They reached Fair
Havens, au the south of Crete, during
the season of storms on. the Mediter-
ranean, and when all navigation on the
open sea was discontinued." Paul ad-
visect them to remain here, but Julius,
the centurion who had charge of the
soldiera and prisoners, had the Author-
ity to deeide and netu rally trusted the
master and the owner of the ship than
he did Paul. Accordingly they set sail
for Pheniee, a more, commodious port of
Crete, intending there to winter.
-.II, The hurricane (vs. 13-20). 13,
When the south wind -They left Fair
Havens for Phenice, a distance of less
than forty miles, on a pleasant day,
expecting to make a speedy and safe
journey.
14. Not loud after -The change in the
fortunes of these mariners came without
a moment's waening. A tempestuous
wind -Soon after rounding Cape Mtaala
(four or five miles front . Fair Havens),
a violent wind came down from the
mountains, and struck the ship, seizing
her, and whirling her rotted, so that
it was impossible for the helmsman to
keep her on her course. The character
of the wind is described in terms of the
earnest violence. Euroelydon-A tors
nado. 15. Caught -Seized and taken
possession of by the wind. Could not
bear up -Literally, could not directly
eye the wind. In the bows of ancient
ships mime painted two eyes, so as to
give the look of a living Haug. The
ship could not face the wind; the blast
whirled it about, and turned its bow
southwest.-Whedon. Let her drive -
The sailors were powerless and could
not control the ship. 16. Running under
-The ship was driven more than twenty
miles through the open sea to the shelter
of a small island called Claude. With
difficulty, to secure the boat (R. V.) -
It was with difficulty that they suc-
ceeded in saving the small boat that
wage attached to the ship. The small
boat was an important means of escape
in case of shipwreck.
17. Undergirding the ship -The awl-
entse, were accustomed to pass cables or
strong ropes from one side of the :ship
to the other, to keep the planks from
springing or starting from the action of
the sea. The rope was slipped under
tbe prow, and passea along to any part
pf the keel which they pleased, and
made fast on the deck. -Barnes. The
quicksands -The immense sandbanks on
the northern coast ef Africa, called in R.
V., Syrtis. These were fatal to ships,
and if this ship had continued in a
southwest course it would have been
carried upon them. Straka sail-Strake
ie an old English word for struck. "They
lowered the gear." -R. V. "Ancient
;ships had drom one to three nutsts. On
the principal mist was the large square
*mainsail, which with the others was now
lowered, and they drifted. with naked
masts." 18. Lightenedthe ship -What-
ever eoulr be spared was thrown out. 19.
.Third day -After leaving Fair Havens.
Own hands -Luke, the writer of this
history, and the other passengers as-
eiated. TaekIing-At this time they
•
threw out the ship's rigging -anchors,
utile, cables, baggage, etc.. in fact, ev-
erything not iudispensable to the pre-
servation of the ship.
' 20. Neither sun nor stars -The anci-
ents depended wholly upon the sun and
stars in making their observations.
• Having no compass, tney could not know
in what direction they were being driv-
en. Many days ---"Then followed 'many
day& of continued hardship and anxiety.
One who has never been in a leaking
ship in a continued gale cannot know
what is suffered under such circum-
adatnees. The strain, both of mind and
Isody, the incessant demand for the la-
bor of all the crew, the terror of all
the passengers, the hopeless working of
.the pumps, the laboring of the ship's
frame and cordage, the driving of the
storm, the.benuntbing effect of the cold
and wet -make up a scene of no ordin-
ary eonfttsion, anxiety and fatigtte." All
• hope . taken away -They were at
the mercy of the sterm and were drift -
Fug they knew not 'tvhere.
III. Paul giving comfort and advice
(vs. 21-20).
21. After long abstinence -To despair
meta acted a further suffering from want
of food. in consequence of the injury
done tO the provisions, and the impos-
eiliility of preparing any regular meal.
Paul .... said -Under that dark sky,
and in that hopelessly drifting ship.
there appeared the joy of light and life;
for it held no Jonah fleeing from his
dote-, but a Paul bound in the spirit to
testify for God also at Rome. Adapted

were his hopeful, encoureging words.
First Paul reminds them of their error
in disregardieg his counsel at Fair IThe
rens. This he aloes not to reproach
them, but to give them it beide of mai-
dente in hie present eomforting assur-
ancet Then he exhorts them to be of

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. •
God Caring For Hie &att.
Bravely meet life's eurcelyden. Every
voyage to the heavenly country h.ts
something of hardship. and peril.. Oftm
the sue shines and "the south wintle
blow softly" (v. 13), but sometimes the
storm Nines and the winds are "con-
trary" (vs. 4, 7), or "tempeetnous" (vs.
14, 18, 27). If we would meet life's tem-
pest bravely, we must do thus;
Sacrifice the less for the greater.
They "lightened the ship." They "cast
out .... the tackling" (v. 18, 10), They
"east out the wheat into the sea" (v.
38). To save life they lost wealth.
Spiritual integrity is more than tem-
poral prosperity. Future life is more
than present wealth. "For what shall
it profit a man if he sltall gain the
whole wort? and lost his own soul?"
(Mark 8: 36). Matthew, sitting at the
receipt of custom, left all, rose up and
followed Jesus (Matt, Q:0). What
thins were gain to Paul, those he
counted toss for Christ: His pride of
birth, his legal privileges, his blameless
righteousness, his high position as a
Pharisee, his rabbinical learning, his
boasted zeal. Whatever be our cargo
-wealth, reputation, pleasure, .friend-
ship, early training, human opinion, or
loved tradition -if it stands between us
and spiritual living, let us toss it into
the sea.
II, Be of good cheer (ye, 22, 23, 36).
In the hour of darkness, hear Jesus say
to you as Be did to Ms disciples; "In
the world ye shall have tribulation; but
be of good cheer; 1 have overcome the
• world" (John 16: 33). To be of good
cheer is to be of great help. Cheerful-
ness has been called "the bright weather
of the heart." What the sun is to tbe
day, what joy is to the stricken soul,
that the cheerful one is in the home.
ID'. Save others. Three times is Paul
the instrument of saving those who are
with him in the ship: 1. By God's pro-
mise to give him the lives of all on
board, in answer to his prayer (v. 24).
2. By his discernment and courage in
preventing the Bailees from abandoning
the ship (v. 311. 3. Tiy the eonsidera-
tion whieh the Roman centurion showed
to the other prisoners for his sake (v.
34). God spared the wicked of Zoar for
Lot's sake (Gen. 19; 21, 22).
IV. Believe God. Faith is strength To
be able to say, "I believe God" (v. 23),
is to be calm and strong. • Paul could
not believe in the sailors; they knew
not what to do. He could not believe
in the ehiptnen, fur they would have
left him and the others to perisle He
could not rely on, the centurion, for he
was powerless to calm- wind or wave.
But be could say, "I believe God that
it shall be even as it was told elle."
"Neither contrary winds nor tempests,
nor the despair of those around him ,
could shake his courage or his trust that
those words should be verified. Cargo,
tackling, everything could go overboard,
but SONIC way, some time, in the Lord's
own good hour, he shoteld see the pro-
mise fulfilled."
V. Acknowledge your faith. "Let the
redeemed of the Lord say so" (Psa. 107:
2), "Paul stood forth in the midth of
them and said There stood by
me this night the angel of God, whose I
am, and whom I serve, saying, 'Fear
not, Paul lo, God hath given thee
all them that sail with thee" (vs. 21-
26). Have we soraetimes believed a pro-
mise, but have not quite dared to say
so because the devil has whispered in
our ear, "Suppose it should not come
true, after all?" Dumb faith is seldom
genuine. _Real faith does not fear to
say, "tbelleve God, that iteshall be even
as it was told me."

FARMERS' MARKET,
CAN'T CARRY GUNS.
•Foreigners Not Allowed to Hunt
in Pennsylvania.
--
Pittsburg, Pa., ()et. 23. -•-Through the
thick-headednese of the Pennsylvania
law -makers, educated Canadians wad
Englishmen who always have been look-
ed upon in this State as desirable citi-
zens, are unable to enjoy the bunting
privileges of the State, just because one
of the members of the Legislature last
season introduced at bill, which later be-
came a law, prohibiting foreigners from
carrylug firearms.
When introduced this law wits aimed
at uneducated "hunkeys." thousauds of
whom are employed in the mills of this
district, and it was thought that the
law wotild prevent many of the murders
so prevalent among the lower class of
foreigeers.
To -day, however, it wits found that
the law had it far different effect when
Benjamin Matthews, an educated Eng-
lishman, who has lived in this section
for the past tett years, a taxpayer and
a model eitizen in every way, except
that he has not been unturalized, while
outhunting was nrrested by a con-
stable, anal under the latest enactment
was taken before it jostice of the peat°
and was Sent to jail for thirty-five
days. While it is likely that the law
will be amende or repealed at the
next Session of the Legislature, until
then it will not be wise for an English-
-men or Canadian to endeavor to hunt in
Pennsylvania, as the income of the cowl -
try constable is enhanced by the arrests
he makes.

A St. Catherines ',despatch; After st
adjournmea of three weeks the in-
quest on the death of Susan Clark, the
Napanee girl who died in the hospital
here, was resumed. to -night. The jury
found the deceased came to her death
front the effects of a criminal opera-
tion performed by some person in
Niagara Falls, N. Y., whose identity is
unknown. The jury recommended that
owing to the prevalence of crimes of
this nature and the international aspect
of this ease, the authorities of 'both
countries adopt itt conjunction more
stringent methods to bring the guilty
parties to justice.
No further evidenee was offered to-
night. Several Toronto witnesses were
notified to be present, but they failed
to appear. The Crown attorney, acting
on the decision in the Kinrade rase tbat
eoroner's subpoena was inoperative
outside the county, saw Ito need ofpro-
loneing the inquiry. The absence' of an
ante-mortem s fa Lenten t ot the girl
precluded the possibility of any evi-
dence that would convict any person
under the laws of the State of New
York, where the offence undoubtedly
took place. .

"I was," Enid the witness, faultily.
"but 1 dithdt have Anything to say, and
I was only there for it few minutes."
Mr. Robinette used the expreesion
"showing your teeth," again, and his
Lordship, on Mr. Blacketeelee objec-
tion, lethal that It ehould not be re-
peated.
Witnees said lie thought Blythe was
elightly under the influence of liquor.
Hobbs was then re-examined by Mr.
Blackstoek.
"Did yam atek Blythe if he had been
drinking?"
"Yes. Ile wanted to stop at it
tavern as 1 wen briugleg him to the

111111 if he had had any whiskey
Katt: no, but that he had some cider at
the house."
. Wm. IL Patterson, Deputy Reeve
of Searboro' township, mid he was at
Blythe's house when the prieoner was
taken there by Constable Hobbs.
"I want you to give the jury your
opinion of the extent the prisoner was
under the influeece of liquor," in-
structed Mr. Blackstock.
"It is pretty hard to describe it,"
said witness. "lte was talking it lit-
tle louder than usual. itt had the
appeera»oe of being slightly intoxi-
cated."
Mr. Robinette then -suggested an ltd-
journment, stating that he intended to
put his client in the evitness box, and
that hie evidenee would take some
time. 'The jury was locked up for
the night.
The jury returned it verdiet of guilty
of manslaughter, and Blythe was sett -
towed ot eighteen years in Kingston
Penitentiary,

altertuttang teeeweeu hope and despair;
yet when he appeared in the court room
yesterday he showed little evidence of
the experience be has gone through.
From Itis healthy look, prison life, even
with it gallows for an ever-present back-
ground, apparently agreed with him. Ile
looked better than during his former

that Mr. Justice Riddell in charging the

the most, of hie crosseexammation to
bringing out facts proviug that his client,
was drunk. He succeeded to a consider-
able extent, practically all of thc wit-
nesse* admitting that the prisoner had
been drinking. Several thought him not
responsible at tho tinw, while others
gave it as tlwir _opinion that Blythe was
not so intoxicated but that he knew
what he was doing.
Mr. Robinette, in eross-examining two
witeesseswho had been at the Agincourt
indignation meeting, handled them in
KWh at manner that his Lordship inter.
fered. He referred to Constable Hobbs
as "showing his teeth." and accused him
of vaulting to see Blythe hanged.
Mr. Illatekstockes determination not to
take a chance with any of the jures
who on Thursday night brought in a
verdict of manslaughter against Mrs.
Mabel Turner, on tend for murder, was
shown in his challenges of any of the
jurymen wbo served on the Turner jury.
