Stearn.
27, !'And when tho seven days were al-
most ended the Jews which wero of Asia,
when they saw hits in the temple, stirred
up all the people and laid he,ncls on hint,"
After parting with the elders of Ephesus
Paul and Ms companions continued their
voyage and in due time landed at Tyre in
Syria; then on to Cresarca, where they tar-
ried
arried some days with Philip and his daugh-
ters, after which they continued on to Jeru-
salem and were gladly received by the
^>rethrren, Then that Paul might not seem
' to the zealous lawkeepers to disregard any
of the laws and so prevent their anger he
does a questionable thing, which does not
accomplish any good. Both at Tyre and at
Calsttrett Paul was warned by the holy
Spirit not to go to Jerusalem (verses 4, 11),
but he would not be persuaded (verse 14).
28. "Crying out, Men of Israel, help)
This is the roan that tcacheth all men ev-
erywhere against the people, and the law,
and this place." Nota word of truth in
either of these oherges or in the one follow-
ing. So that Paul could truly say, "They
- laid to my charge things that I knew not."
29. "For they had seen before with him
in the city Ttophimus an Ephesian whom
they supposed that Paul had brought into
the temple." Their last charge, therefore,
was grounded on mere supposition. In
their fancied zeal for Gocl they were dis-
obeying the very commands of God, for it
is written, "Let none of you imagine evil
against his brother in your heart" (Zech.
vil, 10; viii, 17). They knew nothing of the
love which thinketh no evil, is not easily
provoked, rejoiceth in the truth, hopeth all
things (I Co]'. xiii, 5-7).
80, "And all the city was moved, and the
people ran together, and they took Paul
and drew him out of the temple, and forth-
with tho doors were shut." How much of
the devil there may be under the cloak of
religion and apparent zeal for God! What
righteous indignation (?) and the whole
city moved, lint it is all tlio work of the
wicked one. Be calm, Paul, for the unseen
Almighty One .careth, and legions of angels
are ready to do his bidding. See II Kings
vi, 16, 17; Ps. xxxiv, 7; Math. xsvi, 53,
81. "And as they went about to kill him
tidings came unto the chief captain of the
band that all ,Terusalenl was in an uproar."
Death is the devil's last and worst that he
can do to a child of God, but even then he
is only a black servant to usher us into the
presence of our Lord, who hastaught usnot
Teto fear then which kill the body (Math. x,
28). He has taught us not to be offended if
we are put out of the .omptiny of religious
people, and even if they kill us (John xvi,
1, 2).
82 "And when they saw the chief cap-
tain and tho soldiers they left beating of
Paul." This was probably cue of the three
beatings which he speaks of in II Cor. xi,
25. 'His back had many a scar ere this, but
hetook pleasure in all distresses for Christ's
sake if only the power of Christ might rest
upon him (II Cor, xii, 0, 10). We do well
always to consider IIim that endured such
contradiction of sinners against himself
lest eve be wearied and faint in our minds,
for not many of us have, like Paul, resisted
unto blood (1Teb. xii, 3, 4).
38. "Then the chief captain came near
and took him and commanded him to be
bound with two chains and demanded
who he was and what he had done." Of
these bonds also he had been forewarned
(verse 11 and chapter xx, 23), but these were
neither his first nor his last chains for Je-
sus' sake (chapter xxviii, 20; TI Tim. i, 16).
These chains were but for a time and for
the glory of God, but we read of everlasting
chains for lost spirits (Jude 6; II Pet. ii, 4).
Not present suffering, bttt the eternal is to
be feared (Math. x, 28; xxv, 50, 41; , Rev. xiv.
10, 11; xx, 15; xxi, 8).
34. "And some cried one thing, some an-
other, among the multitude, and when he
could not know the certainty for the tu-
.lmult he commanded him to be carried into
•ho castle." TMs is very suggestive of the
tumult of today amoug religious people.
There is such a crying of one thing and an-
other by higher and lower and no critics,
by the different deuominatious and by the
posts and pres that it would alrnost seem
impossible to know tete certainty of any-
thing, but those who cling to the book may
know and will know if they only take God
at His word (Isis. viii, 20, In V.).
35. "And when he casae upon the stairs
so it was that he was borne of the soldiers
1,, for the violence of the people." Violence
4 and strife in the city, sure enough (Ps. he
9). But the day will come when Jerusalem
shall be called a city of truth: when her
walls shall be salvation and her gates
4 praise; when the work of righteousness
( shall be peace, and the effect of righteous-
ness quietness and assurance forever (Zech.
viii, 8; Ise. lx. 18; xxxti, 17).
20. "For the multitude of the people fol-
lowed after, crying, Away. with him!" So
they cried out concerning his Master (Luke
sociii.18; John xix, 15), and He taught us
that we must expect His treatment if faith-
ful unto Him (John xv, 20). flow few of us
in these days seem to be counted worthy of
this honor!' Is it because we are so little
like Him, so unfaithful to testimony, so
mixed. tip with the world, or is it because
We fear suffering for His sake?
37. "And as Paul was to be led into the
castle he saicl unto the chief captain, May
l speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou
speak Creeks" Dating all this uproar and
tumult Paul was doubtless communing
iwith his unseen Friend. and Master. Itis
heart !voted be saying;: "I am Thine, 0
Lord, for Thy service. What wilt Thon have
me to (lo" (chapter xxvii,23; ix, 0)? Cap-
tain and soldiers and angry mob were tette
ing to him as compared with his own Cap-
tain.
88.

deters (John viii, 44) to be accused of being
the leader of 4.000 murderers—drat is a
feather fen' your cap, Paul, more fellowslliii
with your Master. Bles,;ed privilege to bo
misunderstood and falsely accused if ouly
for His sake.
3r. "Bat 1'aul said,1 am a roan which
ant a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Chicle, a esti-
zea of no mean city, and 1 beseech thee suf-
fer me to speak unto the people." Though
suffering In body from the beatingand the
rough handling,. his heart longed o tell it

false accusation was. not worth noticing,
but it was worth while to get another up•
portunity to speak of .Jesus. fellow he.
Hover, we are citizens of no mean city, Cunp-
pare Phil. iii, 20, with Rev. ex!, 2. Is you
heart so stirred by ties heavenly citizen-
ship that you long above all tbtugs to
tweak of HiuiP
The Rio do In Plata.
Were it not for a decided difference In
the color of the water you would never
know when the Atlantic is left and the Rio
de la Plata entered, The high rolling,
white capped billows are the Baine, and no
land is visible, for the great river which
James Diaz do Solis discovered is 125 miles
wide at its mouth, though with an average
depth of only 50 feet. Sebastian Cabot,
who arrived in the year 1520, soon after the
natives had murdered poor Don Solis,
dubbed it River of Silver—not on account
of its color, which might have won for it
the more appropriate name of Golden riv-
er or River of Chocolate, but because he had
wrested quantities of silver from the In-
dians who swarmed its banks, and natur-
ally imagined that an abnudance of pre-
cious metal remained in the vicinity,
Iu point of fact, the terms Argentina and
Rio do la Plata (both meaning the same
thing with reference to silver) aro misno-
mers, for no metals of any sort, precious or
otherwise, are found along the banks of the
mighty stream or anywhere near it, and
the scanty argentiferous deposits in the
Bills of the interior havo never been work-
ed. The Indians aforesaid probably ob-
tained the silver which so excited Spanish
cupidity from Peru and Bolivia by somo
primitive system of internal commerce
known only to themselves.—Philadelphia
Record.
Dlnrsh Lands.Illailo'Valuable.
Time was in this state that the marsh
lands were considered as of so little value
that the more a mart owned of them the
poorer he was reckoned. Of late years,
however, the development. of the cranberry
industry has modified the views on this
point, and farmers are speculating on the
possibility of finding other profitable uses
for the marr•hes and meadows. high sci-
entific authority has declared that most of
the swampy and boggy lands about the
state not available• for cranberry culture
can be converted into soil for the cultiva-
tion
tion of berries and vegetables in groat vari-
ety.
The demand for such products is yearly
growing, even faster than the population.
The systematic development of theseiuclus-
tries miglit have the wholesome effect to
draw from the cities the hosts of people
who live in the close, stuffy quarters that
our civilization provides for the working-
man. As in Holland, France sad Florida
they have accomplished brilliant results
with similar lands, there is.nothing fantas-
tic in the suggestions here made.—Boston

Hero's to'.r]iat Girl's Health.
A girl in a Maine village who made her
home with her aunt was often disturbed
by evidence of the old lady's indifference to
everything but the welfare of her own mar
tenial possessions. Ono day in going down
cellar for some butter she tripped and fell
heavily quite a distance. The maiden aunt
rushed to the door, and peering down into
the darkness called out sharply:
"D'yo break the dish?"
"No!" thudclered back the niece, for once
thoroughly aroused, "Nal but 1 will! and
she shivered it with hearty good will
against the cellar wall.
It is believed that the old lady was so
shocked by this dramatioexhibitlon of mal-
ice that she took her bed and kept it for a
week.—Lowiston Journal.
Eight =ore Lives to Live.
"Hapisood," "remarked George W. Best
the other afternoon as he entered his office
after luncheon, "you know that song about
how the cat came back?"
t The amateur photographer, somewhat
bewildered at the question, answered that
he thought he had heard it, and Mr. Best
continued, "Well, I just heard of a tabby
which discounts the cat of the song."
• "How so?"
"Why, they tried to drown tabby in a big
tub of water last night. Tied a brick to
her neck, threw her iu and this morning—
well, they found tabby had swallowed all
the water and was sitting on the brick to
keep her feet dry."—New York World.
The Place to Check Cholera.
A Rnropettn cholera expert believes that
the best way to couquer that disease is by
going to the roots of the evil by attacking
it in the delta of the Ganges, in India,
where it is endemic. The area of the dis
trict is 7,500 square miles. Its constant
presence there is believed to be due to the
putrefying remains of animal sand human
bodies of the inhabitants, which are cast
into the river instead of being buried. 11
tato bodies were cremated, it is believed
that the disease could be eradicated.
A Michigan farmer and his wife were
swindled out of `1,000 by a very smooth end
cunning trick. They were called upon to
sign as witnesses what they supposed was
a marriage certificate, but in reality was an
order on the bank where they had an ac.

as if the sheriff had been a witness un-
der cross examination.
There is no judge on the be,n':li, sir,
explained the sheriff.
Well, who said there was? queried
the Lawyer. Everybody in this coun-

for two years or more, and he sat
down amidst applause, just as the

his generosity. He had lost an arm
daring the Indian mutiny, and this
tnade him very sympathetic towards
all who bad met with similar losses.
While walking on his estate 011e day

Colonel, replied the veteran. and lie
hobbled away. But,nddedthe Colonel,
you didn't tell me where you served?
