Place. -- The city of Jerusalem, 12, And when we heard these things, both we and they of that place besought him not to go up to Jerusalem, 13, Then Paul answered, -What do ye, weeping and breaking my heart The verb translated '" 'break' is found only here in the New Testament, and signifies the weakening of purpose in any one. So the apostle intimates not that they intended as we should say to break his heart by adding to his sor- row, but to weaken his determinat- ion and deter him from his journey." --For I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lecrd Jesus. Lu- ther cried out when his friends would keep him from going to the city of Worms: "Were there as many devils in Worms as tiles on the roofs, I would go in." 28. Crying out, Mu. of Israel, help: This is the man that téacheth all men everywhere against the peo- ple, and the law, and this place; and moreover -he brought Greeks also in- to the temple, and hath defile. this holy place. 29, For they had before - seen with him in the city of Tropshi- mus the Ephesian, whom they 'sup- posed that Paul had brought into the temple. The charge that 'Paul had brought Greeks into the inner court of the temple was a lie. From the fact that they had seen him walking in Jerusalem with a Gentile citizen --of Ephésus by the name of Trophi- mus, and. now__ saw Paul himself walking in the inner court of the temple, they "supposed" that, if Paul was there, Trophimus was there also. He wasn't. Paul would never violate Jewish conscience in this way. 30. And all the city was moved, and the people ran' together; and Shey laid hold on Paul, and dragged im out of the temple: and straight- way the doors were shut, They want- ed to get Paul out of the temple so that the temple would not be pollut- ed with human blood, for they cer- tainly were set on killing him. 31. And as they were seeking to kill him, tidings came up to the chief captain of the band; that all Jeérusal- em was in confusion. Outside the temple, and overlooking it, stood the Castle of Antonia, connected with the temple by a flight of stairs leading from the outer court of the Gentiles. The castle was the headquarters of this time, commanded by Claudius Lysias, the chief captain. "The Jews themselves were responsible for keeping order in the temple itself, 32, And forthwith he took soldiers and centurions, and ran "own upon them: and they, when they saw-the chief captain and the soldiers, left off beating Paul. 83, Then the chief captain came near; and inquired who he was, and what he had done. What the Jews would not do, though they were supposed to be servants of and Mi ng a holy and merciful God, pagan Roman soldiers must now do, i.e, give Paul at least a fair trial, 34. And some shouted one thing, some another, among the crowd: and when he could not know the certain: ty for the uproar, he commanded him to be brought into the castle. With this scene should be 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 the Jews knew even who Paul was or what the charge was against him. © "I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit, that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart." Paul piles up plLrases to indisputably prove to- the Jewish people, who would not accept Christ, that he had never lost his great af- fection for them in spite of their re- jection of his Saviour. "For I could wish that I myself were anathema from Christ." The word here translated "anathema," means anything devoted to ruin by a solemn curse. 'For my brethren's sake, my kinsmen according to the flesh, who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the cov- enants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; whose are the fathers." Paul does not actually say that he wishes to be separated from Christ, but he says he |- could wish it, were it not wrong, or would it not involve his being unholy, as well as miserable. But, as such is the case, the desire cannot be. enter- tained, "And of whom is Christ as concern- ing the flesh, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen." The Lord Jesus Christ was the son of Abraham (Matt. 1: 1; Luke 3:34). the son of David (Matt. 1:1; John 7:42; Rom. 1: 3; 2 Tim. 2:8). Paul, after listing the wonderful privileges of the Jewish people, comes finally to the greatest of all. XRXXXXXX RRO DOOOOOOBODBOODOODORN xX 3 2% O ol i g ol I et - - 9 * e 2 Yo!

Not all of us are as fortunate as Mr. Belfrage to have the wherewithal to go on a world tour and "get away from it all," but we can read of another escap- ologist's endeavor to run away from himself, Mr. Belfrage is pre-eminently a: newspaperman. His style is salty--racy and his observations on human relation- ship are at times cutting, sarcas- tice. A noticeable tolerance of opinion becomes evident toward the end of the book. One chapter dealing with his travel abroad a schooner--peopled with as an ill-assorted combina- tlon of souls as you'd care to find, is especially probing. The charm of Mary, the girl he left behind him, is 'evident every time she pope into the book. One felt one would like to meet her. She sounds like a real person, and one feels that the "secape" of Mr. Belfrage was a wise thing inas- much as it made him realize the value of such a girl as Mary.

Upward-Backward Bending Exercises For Figure Beauty --p---- lp Exercise authorities now agree that all reducing routines should be dono slowly and that the types which stretch your body upward and back- ward are better than forward-hend- ing ones, For instance, one Important figuro expert lifts her eyebrows in disap- proval whenever a customer wants to do that old exercise of touching floor with hands while keeping knees 'straight. She says it will keep knees from becoming stiff and that it stimu. lates sluggish circulation to some exe tent, but it certainly won't slender. ize the waistline. Instead, she makes the client hold her body erect with hands high ab. over the head, then stretch and bend backward as far as possible. This not only stretches the waistline muse. cles, but it elevates the chest and helps to reduce a double chin, too. If you are trying 'to make your hips inches slimmer, do rolling exer. cises, and do them slowly, pressing your body hard against the floor as you roll, : Lie flat on your back, with hands clasped above your head and feet to- gether. Keeping upper half of your body on the floor and feet together, roll back and forth twenty times, Feel the way this massages the fat spots around hips and thighs and twists walst muscles, Go back to the original position, then, crossing left leg over right, , foree it upward until it is perpendicu- lar with your body, meanwhile keep- ing the right leg perfectly straight.
