The city is surrounded by a high wall and the gates are watched by the police lest the Cicilian preacher escape. Many of the houses are built on the wall, and their balconies projected clear over and hovered above the gardens outside. It was customary to lower baskets out of these balconies and pull up fruits and owers from the gardens. To this day visitors at the monastery at Mount Sinai arelifted and let down in baskets. De- tectives prowled around from house to house looking for Paul, but his friends hid him, now in one place. now in another. He is no coward, as ilfty incidents in his life demonstrates. But he feels his work is not done yet, and so he evades assassi- nation. Is that preacher here!" the foaming mob shout at onehouse door. Is that fanatic here!" the police shout at an- other house door. Sometimes on the street incognito he passes through a crowd of clenched lists and sometimes he secretes himself on the housetops. At last the in- furiated populace get on sure track of him. They have positive evidence that he is in the house of one of the Christians. the balcony of whose home reaches over the wall. Here he is! Here he is!" The vociferation and blasphemy and howling of the pursuers are at the front door. They break in. Fetch out that gospel- iser, and let us has; his head on the city gate. \Vhere ishei" The emergency was terrible. Providentially there was a good stout basket in the house. Paul's friends fasten a rope to the basket. Paul steps jintoit. Thehasketislifted to the edge of the balcony on the wall, and then while Paul holds on to the rope his friends lower away. carefully and air tiously. slowly but surely, further down and further down. until the basket strikes the earth and the apostle steps out and afoot. and alone darts on that nous missionary tour, the story of w ch has astonished earth and heaven. Appropri- ate entry in Paul's diary of travels: Through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall.

'I`alnmge`s text was: Throughha window in a basement was I let down by the wa1l.-ll Cor. xi, 33. He said: Sermons on Paul in jail, Paul on Mars Hill, Paul in the shipwreck, Paul before the Sanhedrim, Paul before Felix are plentiful, but in my text we have Paul in y a basket. Damascus is a city ot_ white and glistening architecture, sometimes called the eye of the East," sometimes called a pearl surrounded by emeralds, at one time distinguished for swords of the best material called Damascus blades, and upholstery of richest fabric called damasks. A horseman by the name of Saul. riding towards this city, had bear thrown from the saddle. The horse had dropped under a ash trorn the sky, which at the same time was so bright it blinded the rider for many days, and, I think, so permanently injured his eyesight that this defect of vision became the thorn in the esh he afterward speaks of. He started for Damascus to butcher Christians, but after that hard {all from his horse he was a changed man and- preached Christ in Damascus till the city was shaken to its foundation.

Again, notice unrecognised and un~ recorded services. Who spun that rope. \\'ho tied it to the basket? \\'ho steadied the illustrious preacher as he stepped into it. \V'ho relaxed not a muscle of the arm or dismissed an anxious look from his face until the basket touched the ground and discharged its magnicent cargo! `Not one of their names has come to us, but there was no work done that day in Da- mascus or in all the earth compared with the importance of their work. What it they had in the agitation tied a knot that could slip. What if the sound of the mob at the door had led them to say: Paul must take care of himself. and we will take care 01 ourselves? No. no! They ` held the rope. and in doing so did more for the Christian church than any thous- and of us will ever accomplish. But God knows and has made eternal record of their undertaking. And they know. How ` exultant they must have felt when they read his letters to the Romans. to the Corinthians. to the Galatians. to the Ephesians. t the Philippians. to the Colos- sians. to the hessalonians. to Timothy. to Titus. to Philemon, to the Hebrews. and when they heard how he walked out of prison with the earthquake unlocking the door In!` hini and tnnk nnmvnnml nf than I Ill WWIIUU OK Vslllllll LIILIIKS.

If you make a rope make it strong and true. for you know not how much may depend on your workmanship. It you fashion a boat let. it be waterproof. for you. know not who may sail in it. If you put a Bible in the trunk of your boy as he goes from home, let it be heard in your prayers, for it may have a mission a as far reaching as the book which the sailor carried in his teeth to the Pi!_5-l'n beach. The plainest man`s life is an island between two eternitiee-eternity past rippling against his shoulders. eter~ nity to come touching his brow. The cas- ual, the accidental. that which merely happened so, are parts of a great plan, and the rope that lets the fugitive apostle ~ from the Damascus wall is the cable that ` holds to its mooring the ship of the church in the northeast storm of the centuries.
