The time has come in Paul's Judg
ment when he must revislt-Jerusalem.
Doty pointed unmistakably L In tMt
direction, and he was convinced In
a doubt that he ougbt to visit the
holy city. Thore was no alternative*
It was Jerusalem only, ? At the same
Umo he was satisfied that If ho went,
it would be to bonds and Imprison
ment. The Holy Ghost witnessed In
every city that the result of his visit
-would bfl_ personal discomfort^ and
physical sufferings.
Duty Heroic.
But what effect did It all have upon
the apostle? Not the slightest. He
said, "What mean -ye to weep and
break my heart?, I know, as well as
you what trouhiP McaiU bat I
ready, not only to be. bound, but to
die at Jerusalem!" And the gritty lit
tle hero marched on into the lion's
Jaws. With him the Question wan not
comfort, ease, life even; it was .duty.
He knew that "man "Wimroortil till
his work is done." and he did not
pfopose to shirk responsibility even
-ttiough bonds' *nd imprisonment were
included in It. Prudence la a good
tljfog; there. are times when should
vljrfregarded. But when some great
exigency arises which calls for ac
tion. the true soql will walk the path
of duty though It be with btoedlng
j feet, and though he walk alone.

sculptors In London, ;jid Tennyson
turning to Carfyle said. "What do
you think of that. Thomas?" "Ah.
I mon. it's a sad sight." "Wby?"
J "There Is nae mon among tbem that
? has a jaw." That was the grim oid\
j Scotch method of diagnosing charac
ter. It was only another way of say
j ing that the men lacked grit, " back
I bone, "sand," gumption, words which
J stand for 'righteousness/1 loyalty ?n<T
truth in the world's category.
Duty, not 8tubbornnesa.
Paul's determination waa altogether
a different thing from stubbornness,
j His pluck must ' nut be confounded
with plgheadedn'esd. He had none of
tire qualities of the mute iu his dls
position. He cannot be charged with
the folly of biting off his nose to spite
hla face. He net'er deliberately Jump
ed out of the frying pan into the fire.

persona] olscomfort for avoiding Jeru

to yield to the advice of his friends
In a matter where there was no prin

was most disastrous to himself.

Sucb was Paul's grit. He knew
that every step of the way toward the
city wan taking him nearer the heads
man's block. He did not understand '
^he reason, any more than you
do, why certain tbtnya tn your life
must he, but. he knew that the Lead

the universe had the plan of campaign
perfectly arranged, and he was cer

. l4ok out how you interfere with a
man who has the call of God upon
him. To stop him, to delay him, to"
divert him, may be as calamitous, as
to turn a switch In the wrong direc

you cannot go with him, uncover' as.
the hero pissei on. It may be, when
the coronation day <?f eternity comps,
you may be permitted to behold the
sight when the King pots the crown
of glory upon his servant's heed.
