Sunday School. the church at Jerusalem (vs. 18â€"25) The day after their arrival at Jerulalem "the elders and leaders of the church, of whom James, the brother of our Lord, was chief, met together, and Paul gave them a report of his work. ‘The settlement by vote, eight years before, of the question as to the necessity of keeping the Jewish law, had not changed the oninion of all the Jewish Chris ced us Austunbr cartr ort LK : the opinion of all the Jewish Chris tians." Their friendship at this time was very doubtful. Mrm endeavorâ€" ing by every possible means to heal the breach between them. 1. The Jerusalem believers were very poor, and Paul had taken a collection for them among the | churches. "This is the collection menâ€" tioned in 1 Cor. 16: 13; Rom. 15: 2, and more fully in 2 Cor., chapters 8, 9. Its design is revealed in Rom. 15: 31, where Paul actually asks prayers of the Christians in far off Italy that the Perusalem church may accept the gift," evidently hoping that this would help im ing about a more harmonious mm 2. Paul was ready to make concessions. "Vague rumors had gone forth that he taught that not only the Gentiles but that even the Jews need not keep the law of Moses." To them Paul seemed to be undermining the very foundation of their hopes. In order to refute these slanders the elders requested Paul to openly show to the them Paul seemed to be undeTmMINI‘k the very foundation of their hopes. In order to refute these slanders the elders requested Paul to openly show to the Jews that he did keep the law. II. Paul purified in the temple (vs. #%â€"20). Four men had come to Jeruâ€" salem to complete a Nazarite vow. The Jews permitted any one who so wished to join in the final purification ; and this was the more readily permitted if the expenses were paid by the person taking part in the closing ceremonies. Paul agreed to pay their expenses, and for a week to live with them in the temple, and then to stand with them while their heads were shaven and while they took their hair to burn it "under tha «serific of the polte-()"ering" while their heads were shaven 4nd """" they took their hair to burn it "under the szcrific of the peaceâ€"offering" (Num. 6: 18). "This was not a comâ€" promise, it was concession; but while Paul attempted to refute certain slanâ€" ders, he at the same time ran the risk of almoet certain misrepresentation on the other side. The fact that unexâ€" pected trouble grew out of it does not brand his actions as unwise or wrong, for the Jews would have found some other pretext if this had not come to them." 27. The seven daysâ€"This apâ€" pears to have been the length of the time consumed in the final ceremonies. In the templeâ€"Paul was in the court of the women, in or ne@r the room set apart for the ceremonies of a Nazarite vow. 28. Crying outâ€"They crieq _ for help as though & great outrage had been committed. . These Jews who had been Paul‘s opponents . at Ephesus _ were watching him. They had seen Trophâ€" imus, an Ephesian, in the city with Paul, and when they saw Paul in the court of the women with strangers, they wupposed he had taken Trophimus into the temple. They stirred up a mob agnainst Paul, charging him with having polluted the temple. Their _ charges show that the attack was remeditated . The question is asked, Bid Paul do right in thus purifying himself in the temple? «Our answer is, Yes. What yA Vc as onl MB ul h He ts LESSON 1.â€"OCTOBER 3, 1909. e i i en n oX right in thus purifying himself in thel temple? «Our answer is, Yes. What were his motives? He did not do it to avoid persecution, or . even deathâ€"he was ready to die in Jerusalem. He did not take this course to gain favor with the church, or for any selfish purpose. Hi# sole purpose was to gain access to the hearts of these Christians and lead them into a deper Christian life. Read 1 Cor. 9; 19â€"23. "Let us remember that these brethren to whom Paul joined hin.self were Christians and were not clinging to legal rights by which _ to merit their salvation, but they clung to ther as ordinances which were of divine origin, and which education had made them careful _ to observe."â€"Cam. Bib. May it not be true that the Christian Church toâ€"day may still be holding on to mar y forms and ritwalistic observances which tend to binder rather than help the epiritual life II1.

V.)â€"There was murder in their hearts, and they were beating him with the expectation of ecausing his death. But the onset was sudden, and they were not furnished with proper weapons, and there appears to have been a little delay. It was this short delay that gave the Roman officer time to rescue him. Tidings cameâ€" When a servant of Jessu is in great disâ€" tress, God sends him aid at the proper time without waiting for his prayers.â€" Lange. Chief captainâ€""The chief mili tary officer of the Romans in Jerusa lem was stationed in the tower of An tonia, which was situated at the northâ€" west corner of the temple area." 32. Soldiers and centurionsâ€"A _ centurion commanded a hundred men. The chief captain ordered out a force sufficiently large to overcome all opposition and reâ€" atore order. When they saw, etc.â€" The Jewish mob was intimidated at sight of the Roman troops and at once ceased their murderous attack. 33.

Could not knowâ€"It was difficult for the mob to make out . a charge against the prisoner which would be intelligible to the Roman officer.

Away with himâ€"The apostle is rejected in the same terms used nearly _ thirty years before, when Christ was hurried to the cross (Luke 23. 18; John 19. 15). 37. May I speakâ€"Paul amid the storm is the selfâ€"possessed master of his posiâ€" tion. He avails himself of.every advantâ€" -r within reach, first to asswage the chief captain, and then the people, in order to attain both safety for himself and triumph for the truth. â€"Whedon. a Prisonerâ€"The Arrest. â€"Acts Paul confers with 38. That Egyptianâ€"lhe . LEFPUSAD * whom allusion is made is described by Jouphuuoneolflnmnyi-m of that time, who announced that he was a prophet and gathered an army which he undertook to overthrow Roman government. Lysias hoped he was now caught in the person of Paul. 39. Nc mean cityâ€"Tarsus was the metropolis of Cilicia, a city of cnltu:; IV. Paul‘s defence (21. 40â€"22. 29). " chief captain gave Paul permission speak to the crowds from the stairs leading up to the castle. He made his defence in the Hebrew lupuf’;-l. Ho showed that he had been a zea‘ Jew. 2. He described the manner in which he became a Christian, giving a vivid acâ€" count of his conversion. With all his zeal for the Jewish religion, he had found something far better. 3> He told them that he had been commissioned to preach to the Gentiles. They listened to him until he made this statement and then they cried, "Away with such a felâ€" low from the earth, for it is not fit that he should live.‘‘ The mob seemed to break forth with greater fury than beâ€" fore. Lysias then commanded that Paul be scourged, evidently with the intenâ€" tion of forcing from him a confession of his crimes; but when Paul informed them that he was a Roman citizen, inâ€" stantly the thongs were dropped and his safety was secured. and...went about to kill him" (vs. 30, 31). The accusation against. Paul was concerning "the temple." It was the old word agamst Jesus (Matt. 26, 61), and the old ery, "Away with this man" (Luke 23, 18). We are reminded of the words of Christ, "The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me they will also persecute you" (John 15, 20). To "suffer as a Christian" is to. suffer as Christ did (N. Pet. 4, 16). Beâ€" fore the eross, Peter defended his Lord with the sword, but ever afterward in his life and with his pen, he condemns the action. When the Christians were being falsely accused, oppressed and perâ€" secuted, he did not advise them to fight it out, but to live it down. If rulers oppressed them, he bade them submit to every ordinance of man for the Lord‘s sake (I. Pet. 2, 13). If spoken against, he told them to have their behaviour seemly; if persecuted, not to think the fiery trial strange, and not to render evil for" evil, but contrariwise blessing (I. Pet. 3, 9). He gives the reasons: 1. That they who revile may be put to shame (L. Pet. 3, 16). 2. Thereunto ye are called that ye. should inherit a blessing (J. Pet. 3, 9, R. V.). 3. That they by your own good works may glorify God (I. Pot 2. 12). 4. Because Christ .also sufâ€" Pet. 2, 12)}. 4. mecause UNFIS® .MASU SHI fered for you, leaving you an exampic that ye sfi’umd follow His stepsâ€"who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He sufiered, threatened not (I. Pat. 2, 21, 23). J. As partakers of Christ‘s suffering, rejoice; that at the revelation of His g.ory ye also may rejoies with exâ€" ceeding joy (L. Pet. 4, 13). 6. If ye are. reproachwf for the name of Christ, happy are ye, because the spirit of glory and the Spirit of God restecth upon you (I. Fet.‘4, 13, 14. K. Â¥.). 1. It is the will of (iod that by wellâ€"doing ye put to giâ€" lence the ignorance of foolish men (1. Pet. 2, 153). When maligned, insulted, injured, or persceuted, follow the great Example, Nomresistance and heartâ€"forâ€" giveness make us like him. Vengeance is His, He will repay; ours, to love and forgive (Rom. 12, 19â€"21). Then our eneâ€" mies will acknowledge, even as His did, "Truly, this is a child of God." IL. "Paul‘s Citizenship. _ "Canst thou speak Greek*" (v. 37). "I am a citizen of no mean city" (v. 39). "Is it lawfal for vou to scourge a man that is a Roâ€" "Truly, this is a child of God." IL. "Paul‘s Citizenship. _ "Canst thou speak Greek*" (v. 37). "I am a citizen of no mean city" (v. 39). "Is it lawfal for you to scourge a man that is a Roâ€" man?" (Acts 22. 25). It was a great honor and privilege to be "a Roman" citizen. It is greater to be among "the saints in Christ Jesus" (Phil. 1, 1) who can say, "Our citizenship is in heaven" (Phil, 3, 20, R. V.). An old Sceotchman, asked if he expected to get to heaven, replied, "Why, man, 1 live there." His: life was in the spiritwal, not in the natâ€" ural; his joy, in havenly things, not in earthly ; his companions, God and angels and saints, not worldlings or dersonrs; his heart was in heaven, Home is where the heart is. "He that believeth hath" (John 5, 24) citizenship in the heavens. As A. J. Gordon suggested, Christ only "visited" His pebple (Luke 1, 68). He never rslinquished His heavenly citizonâ€" ship. He lay at first in a borrowed manâ€" ger and at last in a borrowed grave, He confessed His celestial nativity. "I am from above," He said (John 8, 23), and of His own He declared, "They ae not of the world, even as I am not of the world" (John 17, 14). Our conversation should correspond with our citizenship. If we be "risen with Christ," let us set our "minds" on "things above" (Col. 3: 1, 2, margin). Only a "holy" character is consistent with a heavenly calling (Meb. 3, 1). The life "hid with Ohrist" is the only life worth living (Col. 3, 3). Spontaneous Combustion is Thought to be Cause. Sault Ste. Marie despatch: Captain N. M. Murphy and the crew of fourâ€" teen of the steamer Monteagle arrivâ€" ed in the "Soo" this afternoon on the tug Russell Stevens, and full particuâ€" lars of the burning of the boat was learned. â€"The Monteagle had _ been put into shape lasst night by divers to proceed _ to Detour, where _ further work was to be done preparatory to taking her to Port Huron dryâ€"dock.

To prevent marauding he orderâ€" ced strangers off the boat and fastened down the hatches. Spontaneous combusâ€" tion, caused by wet wheat, is now supâ€" posed to have caused the disaster. .

Montreal â€" despatch: The Montreal Witness office was gutted by fire, which broke out about 6.30. The damage is estimated at from $50,000 to $75,000. Several adjoining stores _ and offices also suffered. The fire was discovered at 6.30 by men working in the job room, but how it originated is a mysâ€" tery. It is thought, however, that a match may have been dropped by a smoker as he was leaving the building. The flames began their work on the top floor, and in an incredibly short time the whole upper flat was wreckâ€" ed. The roof then fell in and added to the damage. Flames ate their way down through the other floors to the press room in the basement. In addiâ€" tion to the damage by fire, the loss by water will be considerable. ; For some time the Witness has been at work installing new presses, and had everything arranged to run off their enlarged paper toâ€"morrow. .

This was to turn out its first sheets toâ€"morrow, but the fire has prevented this. Arrangements have been made with the Gazette to publish the paper for the present. There was an insurance of $150,000 on the building and contents. Jump of $2,000,000 in August Receipts Fortells Prosperity.
