-It must be remembered they had lost

That this island was the modern Malta,
cannot well be doubted. Treditional
evidence sustains it; Malta lies in the
track of a vessel -driven by a northeast
wind ; the reputed, locality of the wreck
agrees with Luke's account; and the
subsequent course of the voyage to Pu-

Christ's people-ueither the ilia uor cal-
amities of time, nor the falline away of

H. Paul an example. It was Paul who

HT. Paul an overcomer. "He shook off
the beast into the fire, and felt no

to the seventy:• ."Behold, 1 give you
power to teelin en serpents and scor-
pions, and 'over all the power of the ene-

hurt you" (Luke 10; ID.) Not high

which is good?" (1 et. 3: 13.) A mission-
ary in a foreign country, surrounded by
the worst of desperadoes, had an op-
portunity to prove this. He was
preaching from the- Sermon on the
Mount. He prepared the sermon .care-
fully, as he had done all the others, and
explained its full meaning. At the close
of the sermon the heathen leathered
about him and demanded, one after an-
other, his watch, chain, and other dif-
ferent articles of dress. He let them
take what they would. Hut presently
one of the number was conscience -smit-
ten 'and rebuked the others; and the
missionary was permitted to retain his
belougings, and was never afterward in
Lite slightest degree molested. -A. C. M.
