' In troductiori-The lessons this quarter
cover the last few years of the life of the
apostle Paul. . It is supposed that he was
released from . his first imprisonment in
A. D. 63; and that he then made a fourth
missionary joufney, visiting Macedonia, and
probably Spain; and Asia Minor, Avhence
he was again - carried aprisoner to Rome.
He was beheaded near Rome, on the "O
tian Way by ? Nero, in about the year 66
A. D. Thus ended one of the grandest and
most fruitful lives the world has ever seen.
Summary.' Lesson I. Topic: Paul's min
istry at Ephesus. This is near the close of
Paul's first missionary journey. After the
riot at Ephesus he visited Macedonia and
Greece, and returnine. he stopped at Mile
tus, a city about thirty-live miles south ofj

them an affectionate farewell. He urged
them to take heed unto themselves and to
all the flock: said that grievous wolves
would enter in among them, not sparing
the flock. He called attention to his life of
self denial and labor. After this they
kneeled down and prayed.
II. Topic: jThe change that will take
Elaee in the j body at the resurrection,
hrist's resurrection, is fully established,
and His resurrection is an important rea
son for believing that all the dead will be
raised. This mortal body cannot inherit
the kingdom of God, but' must be changed.
This will take! lace when the last trump
shall sound. Through Christ we haver vic
tory over death and the grave. Paul
urges the church to be steadfast, unmov
abTe. always abounding in the work of the
Lord. i -.
III. Topic: Purity of life. Paul wrote
to the Romans from Corinth. Christians
pay their debts except the debt of love,
which is a perpetual obligation. The one
who loves his neighbor as himself will not
trespass in any way. It is" time to awake
out of sleep and cast off the works of dark
ness and put On the armor of light. We
should "put on' Christ and make no provi
sion for the flesh.
IV. Topic: Paul's coming, afflictions.
Paul reaches Tyre; meets with a cordial
reception; continues his journey to Caesa
rea; enters the house of Philip, the evan
gelist, one of; the seven; tarried -there
many days; the prop bet Agabus arrives:
takes Paul's girdle and binds his hands and
feet; says that; thus Paul will be bound at
Jerusalem and will be delivered to tire
Gentiles. When the disciples heard the
prophecy of Agabus they besaught Paul not
to go to Jerusalem, but he told them that
he was not only ready to be bound at Je
rusalem, but also to give his life for the
truth.
V. Topic: Paul mobbed and rescued.
As soon as Paul reached Jerusalem he con
ferred with the elders of the church. He
then entered into tne temple and purified
himself, according to the ceremonial law.
Jews from Ephesus saw him in the, wom
en's court with strangers, and supposed he
had taken a Gentile into the temple and
thus polluted it. They stirred up a. mob
asrainst Paul for the purpore. of taking his
life. Paul was rescued by Roman soldiers,
and afterward while standine on theairs
delivered an , address to the assembled
throng. v
VI. Topic: Paul delivered from the
Jews. At the close of the address deliv
ered on the stairs the mob was again
stirred against Paul. Lysias, the Roman
captain, was about to scourjre him when he
learned that Paul was a Roman citizen.
After this a conspiracy was made against
Paul by the Jws. forty of them binding
themselves toeether under a- curse that
thev would neither eat nor drink until they
had killed hiinf The plot was discovered.

SAYING PRAYERS IN ADVANCE.
for
How Thoughtful Child Provided
! Season's Enjoyment.
Julian Hawthorne sometimes tells
in amusing story of the childhood of
lis daughter Hildegarde.
!"Once, when Hildegarde was a lit
tie girl," he- will begin, "she was
slated over the-fact that we were
ill going to spend the summer at the
leashore. Particularly was she elated
Dn the night before our departure.
Her eyes shone, her cheeks were
Bushed, and she could do nothing but
dance and clap her hands for joy.
After she1 had gone to her room
1 1 heard her chattering away like an
Insane person for a long: time. I
pfeped in and saw her on her knees
praying. Over and over again she
repeated the same prayer..
1" 'Hildegarde,' I said, 'what on
sarth are you doing, child?'
I" 'I am saying my prayers now for
ill summer,' she answered, 'so that I
won't have to waste any time on
them while we are away.' "New
Fork Tribune. .
A New York judge tells women that
the way to keep their husbands is to
'learn to cook better and not insist on
aaving the last word." But some men
would even be willing to put up with
the cooking.
