Bunday School. 12. Besought himâ€"The correctness of the previous propheey of Agabus, and the vivid symbol whereby he now imâ€" pressed this prediction, produced in the minds of the Christian disciples a deep conviction of the certainty oi future evil to Paul at Jerusalem. Under this conviction they unitedly besought him loe.to' go to the place of danger. _ 13. 1 am readyâ€"Paut‘s cgmplnions saw the danger; he saw his duty.

In imitation of the excessive s¢mbolic actâ€" ing sometimes employed by the ancient Jewish prophets (Isa. 20: 2; Jer. 13: 1; Ezek. 4: 1), this Christian prophet took Paul‘s girdle and with it bound his own hands and feet. Using the prophetic form of the Old Testament, "Thus saith the Lord" yet changing it to suit the new dispensation of the Spirit( he cites the Holy Spirit as explicitly announcâ€" ing Paul‘s capture and imprisonment in Jerusalem.

He remained in prison at Caetaea about two years, and was then taken to Rome, where he was kept two years longer. During these long years of prison life we hear no repining word from Paul. He is always rejoicing and seems to forget his own afflictions in his effort to comfort others. Some of Paul‘s best and most helpful epistles were written while he was under bonds and chained to a Roman soldier; but the word of God was not bound. So it has always been.

Cam. * PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. Doing the Will of the Lord. 1. Praying. Kreeled down .. prayed" (v. 5.) Prayer is the call of faith to the car of merey (Heb. 4: 16.) Prayer is the Spirit of God breathing in the soul of his child (Rom. 8: 15.) Prayer is the means of delivery fro mevery vice and the obtaining of every virtue (John 14: 13, 14.) Prayer is a force in the uniâ€" verse. "One of God‘s laws is, that a magnet held over a bit of steel shall act with potency against the law of graviâ€" tation, and cause the steel to go up inâ€" stead of down. There is no conflict or suspension of laws but a harmonious coâ€" working of two laws, both operative in their time and sphere. A law of God is that the prayer of faith shall be a force in the universe, to coâ€"work benefiâ€" cially with other laws and effect results otherwise impossible. A storm rages violently on the sea. _ The waves are raised according to law and would deâ€" stroy the frail vessel tossed by them, but for oil from the decks of the imperâ€" iled craft, which stills the restless waves in accordance with another law.‘ II. Jounreying. "We took ship" (v. 6). Comparing life to a voyage and yourself to a vessel, as Talmage suggests, seee that, 1. Your craft is made of the timâ€" bers of truth. 2. Love is the. helm. Pride, ambition or avarice will strand any ship. 3. Christian perseverance is the prow, cut so as to override the bilâ€" lows. With courage in front and fear aft no broadside of trouble can sweep the deck or fill the hatches. 4. Sails made of faith will waft any ship harâ€" berward. 5. The running rigging must be prayer. Pulling on the promises you will hoist the sails of faith and move steadily onward. 6. For a compass use the word of God. Study is daily. Sail by it constantly. Its needle always points to the Star of Bethlehem. 7. Have hope for the anchor. 8. Look out for icebergs. Mave no fellowship with cold, worldly professors of religion (Kph,. 5:11; 2 Tim. 3:5). 9. Keepa log book. "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith" (2 Cor. 13.5). 10. Keep your eolors at the masthead. Write "Holiâ€" ness to the Lord" on your banners (Exod. 39:30). Then the pirates of temptation can never overcome you. 11. Acknowledge Christ as the Captain of your ship (Heb. 2:10). 12. Receive the Holy Spirit and depend on him to be your pilot (John 16:13). V.

At Jerusalem they were received gladly by the brethren there. "We see brotherly kindness illustrated ard the leaders of the church there." Nova Scotia Sailors Have a Trying Experience. IV. Enduring. "Readyâ€"â€"to dieâ€"â€" for the name of the Lord" (v. 13). in the Armenian masascres one young woâ€" man, whose name means "unfading," was taken captive with her Bible in her hand. She was not injured as were most of the women, but was told, as she was being carried away, that she must acâ€" cept Mohammedanism. She would not. They threatened to take her life, but she was true. Again and again they urged her, but she refused, saying, "Kill me now, if you must. 1‘ll never become a Moslem," and took out her Bible and read to them. At length, intimidated by the girl‘s firmness, they let her go, and she found her way back to her home unâ€" harmed. It means much to be ready for whatever may come upon us. Paul was ready for service or sacrifice, ready to suffer, ready to live or ready to die. Only those who are dwelling in the will of (God have such an experienceâ€"an exâ€" perience of rest, quietness, assurance.â€" III. Prophesying. "Four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy" (v. 9). "He that prophesieth speaketh unto men to cdification, and exhortation, and comâ€" fort" (1 Cor. 14:3). Prophecy is not so much prediction as inspiration; not only foretelling but warning, instructing, comâ€" forting and helping under the direct inâ€" spiration of the Holy Spirit (Luke 7:16, 28; 24:19; Mal. 2:7; Hag. 1:13).

The tremendous draft created drove halfâ€"burned pages afloat over the park, and the Provincial Treasurer almost pathetically drew the attention of a newspaper man to â€" a scorched page of a pamphlet dated 1851, which he%ud picked up. _ _ Toronto despatch â€"Hon Col. Matheson has announced that he will ask the House for an appropriation for re-eql:ip ping the library. Private libraries which are for sale are to be investigated, and a number of kind offers from book lovâ€" ers have already been received. It is highly probable that a searching invesâ€" tigntion into the cause of the fire will be held. Rumors of a sensational nature are current, and an attempt will be made to probe their: truth. It was twentyâ€"two minutes later when the fire brigade made its appearance in Queen‘s Park. While the firemen were concentratâ€" ing their energies on the north end of the wing, Hon. Mr. Foy discovered that flames were spreading over the roof of the Chamber, and there was danger of the Legislative halls going, Firemen and civil servants, headed by the ~Attorneyâ€"General himself, with axes, hurried to cut off the connection. LOS§s OF PROVINCIAL LIBRARY. Under the personal command of Sir James Whitney, who stood at the head of the stairs, the parliamentary fire department _ commenced operations, throwing four streams of water. _ The Premier had energetic lieutenguts _ in Mr. A. W. Campbell, Deputy Minister of Public Works, and Architect Heakes. Whilehis ministerial chief was directng the fireâ€"fighting, Hon. W. J. Hanna, the Provincial Secretary, organized the staff into a salvage corps to save papers and documents in various departments. The Minister assigned to the oificers of each branch the responsibility for the papers in their charge, with the result that the important documents were speedily deâ€" ported to places of safety. WORKED LIKE FIRE-FIGHTER} Te Ministers worked _ and sweated like _ firemen. Sir James, in the drenchâ€" ing water, his begrimmed face sheltered by upturned collar, and his hat broken in by falling debris, was in the thick of the fireâ€"fighting. Hon. _ Mr. Hanna, equipped in an old coat and cap _ and heary gloves, was assisting the men who were removing property. Hon. Mr. Foy and Mr. Chas. Chase worked near Sir James, the latter with his coat off and the perspiration dripping from his face. Ministers, Deputy Ministers and clerks commingled as volunteer fireâ€"fighters. Meantime the Cabinet had hastily risen and the Ministers hurried to the scene,. Directions were given and mesâ€" sengers flew hither and thither, carryâ€" ing valuable provincial papers to places of safety. It would be about 1.30 o‘clock, with a roar, the whole centre of the wing crashâ€" ed down, wiping out a considerable porâ€" tion of the library, one of the largest and most important in Canada. The city fire department were now on the scene and taking charge, and his friends urgâ€" ed the Premier to desist. Papere, books, documents and furniâ€" ture were now clogging the smokeâ€" beclouded and watery corridors, and were being carried out as rapidly as posâ€" sible. Burning debris seemed to be fallâ€" ing everywhere, and men were engaged in removing the paintings and pictures from the main corridor. Messrs. J. L. Counsell, Gordon Southâ€" am and Hope Gibson, Hamilton _ memâ€" bers of the Zingari cricket team, playâ€" ing on the University grounds, assisted in getting out three lines of hose inside the building. THE PREMIER TAKES CHARGE Suffer Hav; Loss. not begin to pay for the books absoluteâ€" ly destroyed in the provincial library, was the discouraged remark of Mr. Averi Pardue, provincial librarian, who is this morning at work among the ruins of the south western wing of the Parâ€" liament buildings, destroyed in Wednesâ€" day‘s disastrous fire. Temporary libâ€" rary quarters have been secured at No. 4 Queen‘s Park. One thing that is pracâ€" tically assured as the result of the fire h agiens Bhicc dn mt uio c s w is the practical reconstruction of the Parliament buildings from the standâ€" point of rendering them fire proof. Nothing definite has been decided yet, but there is a probability that Hon. Col. J. 8. Hendric will be asked to supervise the work of fireproofing, and to submit a report on what will be necessary.
