Having secured lodgings, he immediately aot in touch with the leading men of the Roman synagogue, v. 17. He had aiâ€" ready met the Roman Christians, or some of them. This first conference with the leading Jews was not so much an evangelistic effort as a prudent preâ€" paration for his trial. It was importâ€" ant to learn their attitudeâ€"and, if possible, secure, if not their support, at least their neutrality. His appeal to Caesar, he told them, meant no atâ€" tack upon his own people, the Jews, v. 19. He was simply defending himâ€" The lâ€"aders were nonâ€"committal. Whey had received ro official word, they sa‘d. They had heard nothing. Probably they knew more than they admitted. _ Their reference to "this sect" it. v. 22 indicates as much. OJn# can imagine the uext day spent in testifying, disputing, persuading, the Rabbis with their rolls verifying the references to the prozhetsâ€"the brave preacher and teacher trying to win his own countrymen for Jesus Christ. The sual results followed. The crowds were siftedâ€"as they always are by faithful preaching. For one, Jesus may be a "sure foundation"; for anâ€" other a "rock of offence."" As everyâ€" where, the Jews turned their back on the gospel. The gospel turned to the Gentiles. For the Jows, it was the final refusal. 1II. a wWORLD RELIGION, Acts 28: 30, 31. Our last glimpse of Paul shows him preaching his uniform gospel to the tosmopolitan population of Rome. When, long ago he prayed to see Rome ialso, did ke dream of crowded squares, thronged basilicas to hear his mesâ€" sage* During the two years while he waited for the accusers from Jeruâ€" solf. _ He had not revolted against &‘the> the nation or the religion of the Jews. His message was not the deâ€" struction of their ancestral beliefs but their _ lfilment. It was for the hops bf Isrze!l and not for its destruction that he wore his chains, v. 20. Chained to his gaard, Paul nreachâ€" ed his gospel. The frequent change of soldiers gave him an opportunity for reaching many. Philippians 1:13 suxâ€" gests how he turned to account even Lis imprisonmert. To him a class o‘ only one pupil was not a class to be despised. Through it the gospel came to Caesar‘s household. Rome was the climax toward which Paul‘s missionary labors pointcd. Christianity, once firmly established there, vould make its way quickly to every corner of the Rowan world. Alâ€" though arriving there a prisoner, Paul was given consideral‘e liberty, The good reports of Festus and Agrippa and of the kindly Julius who brought him, won for him much leniency. Inâ€" stead of geing lodged in jail, he was permitted to rent a house and live there, chained to his soldierâ€"guad, 23: 16â€"20.

At the Three Taverns, ten miles on, he met another group. ‘This evidence of confidence and love dispelled his gloom. He thanked Goi and took courage, 28: 15. He saw, in these Christians, the evidence that the kingdom was advancing, even in the shadow of Caesar‘s throne. It was a good omen. Ther., too, Paul, like other heroic souls, needed sympathy and enâ€" couragement. Luther, going up to the Diet of Worms, was braced for his ordeal by the knight who slapped him on the back as he passed him, and spoke a hearty word of cheer. S> Paul came to Rome as last.

INTRODUCTIONâ€"Paul, at last within sight of his longâ€"sought goal, was once mor: overcome with depression. Wonderfully preserved from the hands of men and from perils by the sea, he was coming now to the critical moâ€" ment wher he must stand before Caesar to defend himself and uphoid Christianity at the centre of the world.

Art Traded For Food A Little Poem Famous Skater "For generations Chambly was one of the most important of the border fortresses. It passed into English hands in 1760,. The Americans under Montgomery occupied it in 1775 and burned everything combustible when they evacuated in 1776. The followâ€" ing year the fort was repaired and in it American prisoners were incarcerâ€" ated for the remajnder of the war. During the War of 1812 Fort Chambly was a base of operations in the Chamâ€" plain country. The expedition to Plattsburg started from it. During the abortive rebellion of 1837 in Canâ€" ada the fort was again used as a prisâ€" on, and it was not until 1851 that it was finally abandoned as a military retreat. Subsequent to that date it was neglected for some time and was fallâ€" ing into ruin until the appointment of a curator and the beginning of preâ€" servative operations in 1889. Canadians and the War of 1812 "Americans and Englishmen are inâ€" "Fort Chambly, twenty miles southâ€" west of Montreal on a conspicuors headland of the Richeliou River, is anâ€" other ruin of great value, whose preâ€" servation has been assured by governâ€" ment action. The first Fort Chambly, built of wood by Jacques de Chambly, a Captain of the Carignan Regiment in 165, was planned in order to resist the raids of the Iroquois and to serve as a headquarters for the settlers of the Richelieu country. The Red Men, of course, simply gave the fort a wide berth and continued their depredations as before. In 1709 the present fort, a formidable stone structure, was erectâ€" ed to resist English aggression. It is interesting to note that the energetic colonists had already built the fort before the vaciliating home governâ€" ment had authorized the undertaking. "Six times from then to its final passing under the British dominion in 1710 Port Royal changed hands beâ€" tween the rival powers. In 1613 it fell for the first time to an expedition from Jamestown, Va., under Captain Samuel Argall In 1635 it was again in French hands and the second fort of Fort Royal was erected on the preâ€" sent site of Fort Anne. A part of the rock and timber foundations of one of the bastions of this building is still to be seen. The prosent structure was built in 1695 and on its final occupaâ€" tion by Goneral Francis Nicholson‘s forces from New Eigland in 1710, its nams was changed to Fort Anue in honor of the reigning sovereign. Larges Part Still in Good shope Fort Anne is situated at the enâ€" trance of the worldâ€"famed Annapolis Vailey amid scenes of the greatest beauty. It was built as a square earthâ€" work, with four bastions, and surâ€" rounded by a dry ditch and embankâ€" ment for musketeers, and a large part of it is still in good shape. _ The fort and the surrounding land have been set aside as a national park, and there are few more interesting or significant sites on the continent. No other has soen more dramatic and momentous events. The departure of the Acadiâ€" ans in the expuision of 1755â€"immorâ€" talized by Longfellow in ‘Evangeline‘ â€"was an incident in its history. Fort Anne in Annapolis Valley "Long before the Pilgrim Fathers landed at the Plymouth Rock there was a flourishing French village at Annapolis Royal, Novia Scotia, then known as Port Royal. Here the first ships ever built on the continent unâ€" folded their sails to the winds of the Atlantic, and here the first mill was stream. ‘The founders of the colony, turned by the waters of the nearby de Monts, Champlain and Poutrinâ€" court,, had passed to their reward beâ€" fore the Mayflower came to New Engâ€" land. The French had come in 1604, and built their first Acadian fort on a site now marked by a cairn some seven miles from the present Annapâ€" olis Royal. Sites of Old Forts To Be Preserved That North America has many hisâ€" toric ruins of much interest, especialâ€" ly along the great unfortified border between the United States and Canâ€" ada, was the subject of an article by W, J. Banks in the Landmark, organ of the Englishâ€"Speaking Union. We read : English Writer Recalis Many Historic Events in Canadian History Time hangs heavyy on the hands of a clock. clined to make little of the War of 1812â€"14, which does not loom large in the history of their countrics, but to Canada the war was of much greate significance. It must be rememberei that a sweeping American victory would probably have meant the anâ€" nexation of Canada by the United States, and in such a case there would have been no Canadian nation toâ€"day. Such names as Lundy‘s Lane, Beaver Dam and Queenston Heights have alâ€" most as great a place in the heart of the Canadian patriot as have Valloy Forge or Saratoga or Bunker Hill in that ci his United States cousin. "Many sites of events in this war, especially along the Niagara frontier, have been marked by the Canadian naâ€" tional parks branch and other agenâ€" cies. One of the most notable is old Fort George, at Niagaraâ€"onâ€"theâ€"Lake, where a cairn has been erected to commemorate the battle of Fort George, which took place May 27, 1813. This was one of the most critical epiâ€" sodes of the campaign, and eventually resulted in the capture of the fort by the Americans, who held it for seven months before being forced to retreat across the river again. "Parts of the fort are still in a good state of presorvation, and descendâ€" ants of the men who fought there in the opposing armies view them with prideful memories of the past, but happy in the conviction that never again. will Canadians and Americans meet in armed conflict." For years it has been customary for sophomore students to rule what the freshmen must do or wear, but it has remained for secondâ€"year woâ€" men students at Louisiana State Colâ€" lege to set an excelient example by ruling that .cotton stockings must be worn by firstâ€"year students, to help cotton _ prices.

What pleased h‘m far more than the honor of being made a Privy Councilâ€" lor, said Lister afterwards, was the fact that when his turn came to step forward to shake hands the King said: "Lord Lister I know well that if it had not been for you and your work 1 should not have been here toâ€"day." Lord Lister had many honors heaped upon him in later life. He was the first surgeon to use antiseptics, and his methods changed the whole practice of surgery and have been the means of saving countless lives. In 1902 Lister was sworn a Privy Councillor on the occasion of King Edâ€" ward‘s Coronation, which had been postponed owing to the King‘s operaâ€" tion for appendicitis.
