His dream is fulfilled; and one would like to know a little more of the feeling and impressions which he must have had as he first entered this ancient city. Julius, the centurion, who had been his friend ail along, in giving Paul unto the cusT tody of the Prsetoria guard, no doubt made a favorable report, so that considerable freedom was accorded to the apostle. He had his own private lodging, though he was always chained to a soldier, so that in this wayj In case you • many of the guard came to know, not while you asv i only Paul, but the message which he | t want t0 tell x delivered.
