From all the pro - 'awes accused parties were eons stantiy being sent to Rome, and as soon as a sufficient company coals/ be gathered, Paul was sent with them ;under the charge of Julius, a Roman centurion. "There was no ship to take them directly from Caesarea to Rome, so they embarked oln a Tassel which coasted along the shores till they came to Myra in Lycia, in Asia Minor, a port the Egyptian grain ships h,ad to make at certain seasons, (because of the strong west wind. Here they found one of . these snaps on its way to Rome. IL The hturricane (vs. 13-20). They set sail. from Flair Havens for Phe- aaioe, a distance of less than forty miles on a pleasant day, expecting to make a speedy and safe journey. But almost immediately a hurricane struck them, and the ship was caught and driven ,before the wind for twenty-three miles in a southwest.. erly direction to the small Island Claude. This was about twenty-five miles south of Phenice, where they desired to land. SII, Paul giving comfort and ad- vice (vs. 21-38). ' Under that dark sky, and in that hopelessly drifting ship. there appeared the joy of light and life , for it held no Jonah flee- ing from 'duty, but a Paul bound in the spirit to testify for God also at Rome. Adapted to the need of these three hundred souls were his hopeful, encouraging words. On the four- teenth night of the storm they dis- covered that they were drawing near some land. They bad been driven about 480 miles westward to the little Island of Malta. 33. Was coming on -While they were waiting for daylight after they had cast out the anchors.

The aniy safe and secure refuge for the troubled ,soul is the peaceful and rest- ful acceptance of the whole will of God. Saint Paul was a scholar, a the- ologian, a preacher, and in all these relations he took first rank. His tastes and inclinations were similar to those of other highly educated and theeou.gsily disciplined men. Even now, in the last years of his life, lie looked with serenity and hopefulness out into a future which lxad in it for him these immediate prospects: 1. Separation from country and his brethren in Christ. 2. The trials and sufferings of a long Journey as a prisoner. 3. Subjection to the cruel whims and caprices of Roman jailers. 4, Enforced assoclation with state crimina.' '- en unfriendly reception at Rome. 6. A certainty that bonds and imprisonments awaited him. 7. Likelihood that he might meet death In a Roman dungeon. Sympathy from unea:peic,ted sources. Theme aro times in a man's life when a. word of sympathy or an act of kindness is keenly appreciated. Saint' Paulhadrecently gone through bit- ter experiences. 1. He bad been false- ly, accused by his brethren. 2. He had been denounced as not fit to live. 3. He had been heartlessly thrown into prison. 4. He had finally; been com- pelled to appeal unto Caesar.

We start for the distant haven, but we never know where stormy wind or boisterous wave will toss us during any one day of our journey. Spiritual enlightenment in dark places. Paul's bonds necessarily re- stricted his sphere of active effort, but, 1. They did not keep him from being happy. 2. They did net hinder him from being useful. 3. They did not take from him the grand privi- lege of communion with God. 4. They cored not rob him of hourly blessing. 5. They could not dim ills prospects of •a .gloriou,s immortality.

Stilwell: • THE HOME AS HOME SHOULD BE. (By Mrs, Jc,tan Lagan.) When one hears of the destruction olt a hums that baa been established by "twa hearts that beat as one,' one ie 'pained and appalled, andyet suo,b calamities are of almost daily occurrence. Until within the last .quarter of the nineteenth century home meant to us a hallowed spot that was Ivor thy of the steadfast devotion of all of the family ,belonging to it. It never occurred to either the 'Male or female members to dishonor their home, or to disturb its peace. Neither could, they be induced to leave it except to establish one of their own. •Theflight of time bas brought blight and change ; children In their teens are impatient to escape its restraining influences. Reverence for father and mother is now the excep tion, and not the rule ; young, 'sprigs, with the stain of the cigarette on their flee -ars and its odor about them, talk flippantly of the "governor" and tate "madam." Girls scarcely in their teens are impatient to go to boards ing school, or to do something that' will put money in their pbckets andtake them from under the watchful care of judicious mothers, who will not permit them to go hither and thither with boys of their own age unattended by a chaperon, or to go to places of amusement without the protection of some member of the family. It is a fatal step, in the wrong, direction for 1ausbands and wives to discover that they can do without each other. Life is all too short at best,'and 'pity the husband or the Wife who is willing to be separated for months at a (tiros. It is assuredly not In the Interest of union and connubial bliss. Leckie's philosopb;9 is pretty sound, take it all in all. He characterizes the present domes- tic conditions as retrogression of 'social morality." How much the responsibility of this retrogression rests on the women of this age can hardly be stated ; but that they have, departed from the stricter observ- ances of the rules of a correct lite and bave come ;to look upon the evils of society with complacency and are ready to shirk the homely duties of home -making and home - keeping, there is ho disputing. Men most go to business at early.' hours and must, therefore, ' break- fast alone ; for brilliant, amiable wo- men of the wee, small hours are the exhausted, stupid, irritable ones of the morning, and must be left un- disturbed until noon, no matter how much. their faiailies need them. The calls of -society women meet be made. The innumerable demands upon their time for sweet charity's sake must be attended to. During the season the family must be put aside. It would be unpardonably, vulgar to be remiss in any of the requirements of polite society, notwithstanding that these may be observed to the total neglect of duty as wives and mothers. The hurts to one's Tams ily are insignificant beside those in- flicted by society on one who dis- regards its imperative laws. Too many put too much stress upon 'What society thinks of them and too little upon/ the criminal neglect of sacred duties to those near to them by tile • ties of nature. To say that all the blame foe the nes order of things rests upon wo- men would be unjust a,nd unfair. Mee have a Large share in the respon- sibility. They have adopted new modes of living and, all too fre- quently, spend too much time at their clubs and too little at their homes Strong-minded, intelligent, honorable men can easily cure all the follies of wives with silly pre- dilections. Most women are ambitiou's to keep abreast of their husbands, if the right kind of encouragement be of- fered them. Men who complain that their wives are indifferent to their duties' and are wholly absorbed in fashionable fads and are more inter- ested in everything else than in their homes a,nd their families, will discover, upon serious reflection, that they themselves are not guiltless in provoking this indifference. They betray their own weakness and mis- takes the moment they complain of their wives. It is unnecessary for them to be petty tyrants or to dom- ineer in order to correct the errors which they deprecate. Make part- ners of your wives. abase with them all pleasures and troubles. Make them feel that they are neces- sary to Jeer happiness and,are help- mates intellectually. Few women would have the hardihood to persist in unwise and frivolous conduct if their husbands appealed to them in; the right way to desist and to, give more time to•the home that is to be their paradise. gained or lost. )'-So says Mrs. Josie Irwin, of t 325 So.

The conditions of wholesale trade at Montreal this week show a re- markable' recovery from the effect of the strikes. The movement of goods is now very active, and the congestion in many departments has been largely relieved. There is more activity in wholesale trade at Toronto now than experienced for some weeks. Failures have been few in number and generally unimport- ant. Country remittances have been moderately good. .At Quebec, busi- ness in general during the past past week 'ifas been good.

There has been rather more Inquiry reported in wholesale trade at Ottawa this week for staple geode both for forward and for im- mediate delivery.
