Paul's Superior Qualifications.
1, Llis strength of character end his
boldness (y 21), While th.e apostle was
humble and anassuming,in his bearing,
yet las courage knew uo bounds. This
was an important elemout in his char-
acter.
IL Hia superior ancestry (v. 22), The
advautages of his birth contributed to
his greatness. It is a great blessiug to
any man to be ,well bore, The geeat ma-
jority of Christians come from Chris-
tian parentage.
•
His superiority as an apostle (v.
23), God had called and put him
into the ministry. As a minieter Paul
had been feithful, He had served them
without hire and had proved his great
love for their souls. Ile was not behind
the ohiefest apostles, performing the'
weeks of an apostle (ehap. le: 1 1, 12).
IV. His great labors (v. 23). He was
"in journeyings often" (v. 28), "in
weariness" (v. 27), and had upon him
the care of "all the churches." He Byrn-
pathized with the weak and suffered
with those in affliction. He labored
with his hands to support himself while
preaching the gospel that he might not
be "burdensome" (12: 13, 14) to them.
Like his great Master, ho "spared not
himself "
• a
V. His extraordivary sufferines (vs,
23-27). "When the apostle woe& prove
himself an extraordinary minister, he
proves that he has been au extraordin-
ary sufferer. Bonds and imprisonments
were familiar to him; never was the
most notorious malefactor afore fre-
quently in the hands of public justice
than Paul was for the sake of Christ.
The jail and the whipping post and. all
other heed usage of those who were
accounted the worst of men, were what
he was itcoustomed' to." Then, too, Paul
was exposed to ell sorts of perils (v.
26). Whether in city or country, on
land or sea, he was constantly in jeep.'
ardy. He was in peril ef robbers, of his
own countrymen, the Jews, and of false
brethren. But he endured all these
things gladly and gloried in them, in
that he was accounted worthy to suffer
for his Lord a.nd Master.
•
VI. The favor God had shown him
,(vs. 1-4). Paul was permitted to enter
Paradise. What he saw and heard could
not be portrayed to human minds. Ever
after the apostle was filled: with an
ardent longing to return again to the
blessedness than he had experienced.
Henceforth his convereation is in hea-
ven. The world is renounced and he
presses forward with seeming delight
to the goal of martyrdom, if by any
means he may "attain to the resurrec-
tion of theedead." The testimony of
the Apostle Paul shoeld inspire us to
renewed efforts in the divine life.
VH. The lesson in humility (vs. 7-10).
If love is the greatest thing the
world, humility must be the next great-
est. Lest he be enaltea above measure
a thorn in the flesh was sent. This
was Goa's method tri keep Paul humble.
The apostle saw his weakness; God's
grace -Was Magnified and tested and
was proved to he sufficient. Paul
gloried, not in his 'eloquence or pewee
or greatness, but in the pewee of Christ

there certainly appears to be room for
additional companies to feel out other
avenues of trade in the same region. The

Toron.to, Oat- Nov .14, -The question of
labor and the saloon was discussed this af-
ternoon by prominent labor leaders at a mass
meeting in Massey Hall. The Reverend
Charles Stelzie. a fraternal delegate to the
convention os the American Federation of
Labor from the reneral Council of the
Churches of Christ in America, presided and
made the principal address.
Mr. John Mitchell declarer] that organized
tabor is doing more to promote temperance
than any other organization and he refuted
the contention that shorter hours of labor
and increased wages 'result in added. profits
to the saloon.
Tho 'United Mine Workers, Mr. Lewis said,
have prohibited their members from telling
Intoxicants, even at picnics.
The Reverend Mr. Steizele declared that
the saloon and the labor hell must be divorc-
ed. "In too many cities of our country," he
said. "there aro unions who are compelled
to pass through the eaken In order to get
to their union meeting places and woe betide
the man who does not stop to take a drink.
Oftentimes the saloon keepers have a mon-
°rely of the meeting plaeee.
"It is the duty of the municipality to pro-
vldo centres. which may be used for the
gathering of people in their organizations.
What is n.eeded to -day is a conservative
agency which shell provide substitutes for
the saloons. The day will came when Prac-
