Thon Paul answered, What do yc, weepini"; and breaking my heart The verb translated " 'break' i.s found only here in the New Testament, and signifies the weakening of purpose in any one. So th<! apostle intimates not that they intended as we .should say to break hi.s heart by adding to his sor- row, but to weaken his determinat- ion aad deter him from his journey." â€" For I ani ready not to be bound only, hut also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lf rd Jesu.s. Lu- ther crieil out when his friends would kee:> him from going to the city of Worm.s: "Were there a.s many devils in Worms as tiles on IIk- roofs, I would go in." 28. Crying out, M^.. of Israel, help: This is the man that toacheth all men everywhoru against the peo- ple, and the law, and this place; and moreover he brought Creeks also in- to the temple, and hath defile, this holy place. 2'J. l'«r they had before seen with him i-i llie city of Tr(/,)shi- mus the Kplu-sian, whom they sup- posed that Paul had brought into the temple. The charge that Paul had brought Crefdis into the inner court of the temple was a lie. Prom the fact Ihat they had seen him walking in Jerusalem with a Gentile citizen of Ephesus by the iianie of Trophi- mus. and now .saw Paul liiinsolf walking in the inner court of the temple, they "suppo.sed" that, if Paul was there, Tio<i!iimus was there also. He-wa.sn't. Paul would never violate Jewi.sh conscience in this way. 30. .\nd all the city was moved, and tho people ran together; and' they laid hold ..n Paul, and dragged him out of the temple: and straight- way the doors were :,liut. They want- ed ti» get Paul out of the temple so that the temple would not be pollut- ed with human blood, for they cer- tjiinly were set <m killing him. :!l. And as Ihey were seeking to kill him, tidngs came up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusal- em wui in confusion. Outside the temple, ar.d ov.rlooliing it, stood the Castle of Antonia. connected with the temple by a flight (f st:i-:rj leadins from the outer court of the Gentiles. The castle was the luadtiuarlirs of the Roman garrison of Jerusalem at this lime, commanded by (Ilaudiu.? Lysias, the chief captain. ''The Jews themselves were responsible far keeping order in the temple itself. 32. And forthwith' he took so'diers and centurions, and ran down upon them: and they, when they saw tho chief captain and the sold'er.s. left off boating Paul. 3,1. Then the chief captain came near; and inquired v.iio ho was, and what he had done. What the Jews would not do, though they were supposed to be servants of and believers in a holy and merciful God, pagan Roman soldiers must now do. I.e., give Paul at least a fair trial. 31. And some shouted one thing, some another, among tho crowd: and when he could not know the certain- ty for the uproar, he commanded him to ho brought into the castle. With this scone should bo compared the one at Ephesus (19: 32). The verb here translated "shouted" is the same as that used in Luke 23: 21 in describing the din of the multitude which shouted against the Lord Jes- us. Few of tile Jews knew even who Paul was or what the charge was against him. ''I say the truih in Clirisl. I He not. my oonscienco bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit, that I have great sorrow and nnoeasing pain in my hcait." Paul piles up phrases to iiulispiitably prove to the .Jewish piople, who would not accept Christ, that ho had never Inst his groat af- fection for them In spil(> of Ihi-ir re- jection of his Saviour. "For I could wish Ibat I iiiv.lt were anathema from Clirist." 'ftio word hern translalid 'analhcina." means anything devol<'d to iiiin by a solemn curse. "For my brethren's sak". my kinsmen according to the flosli. who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the BJoiy, and the; cov- enants, and the Riving of thn law, and the service of God, ami the promises; whose aro tho fathcis.'' I'aiil does not aclually say that ho wishes to bo sep.iratfd from riuist. but he says ho couM wish ft. were it not wronc;, or would It not involve hl.s being unholy, as Will as miserabli'. Hut, as such Is the case, tho desire cannot bo enter- tained. ".And of whom Is f'lirist as concern- InK the flesh, who Is over all, God blessed for over. Amen. ' Tho Lord .lesiis Christ was the son of Abraham (Malt. 1: 1; Luke 3::il); h, son of David (Matt. 1:1; John 7:'42; Rom. 1: 3; 2 Tim. 2:8).

Not all of us are as fortunate as Mr. Belfiage to have the wherewithal to go on a world tour and "get away from it nil," but we can read of another escap- ologist's endeavor to run away from himself.

A noticeable tolerance of opinion becomes evident toward the end of the book.
