The rescue of Paul from the Jewish mob by the Roman authorities resulted in consideration of his case on their part to determine what manner of man be was, and why his words and actions provoked such violent reactions among the Jewish subjects of Rome in Judea. When it appeared that Feslus, who was procurator, was inclined to turn him over to the Jews at Jerusalem, Paul, knowing of their hatred, makes I. An Appeal to Caesar (Acts 2B: 16-19). It was an act of great significance, and largely determined the course of Paul's life and ministry until his death. It is a question upon which there is no little difference of opinion v.-hethcr Paul was nghi in making this appeal. Perhaps Dr. G. Campbell Morgan has best gathered up the truth of Die matter in saying. "His way was that of an attitude revealing for all time what the duty of the Christian man is?to be true to his Corel, to be true to his conscience, to be loyal to the powers that be, and to make his appeal to them where necessary, for protection, in order that he may continue his work in accordance with the will of his Lord." Paul made no appeal to j save his own life, but he did want to continue his ministry. And this he was permitted to do, for after he had come to Rome we find him to be II. A Prisoner Preacher (vv. 2024. 30, 31). He was chained, but not silenced, ire was anxious that those in Rome should "see" and "speak with" him j (v. 20). They knew of the Christian "sect" oniy by rumor as or.e "which ' everywhere is spoken against" <v. i 22). He now proclaimed the truth! to them, and with what results? "Same believed . . . and some disbelieved" (v. 23). Again, we sec that the greatest of all preachers j met just the same encouragement ( and discouragement that we face. The witness and messenger is not judged by the success that crowns his efforts, but by the faithfulness with which he discharges his duly. Let us not condone our own carelessness or inefficiency by saying th; t even Paul was unsuccessful; but if we have been faithful and diligent, let us be encouraged even though some disbelieve. Verse 30 indicates that Paul either had a large measure of liberty, being permitted even as a prisoner to dwell in a private house, or that he was tried and acquitted and continued to work in Rome for a period of years. Whichever may be true we cannot but admire the faithful testimony of this man upon whose body time and trials had borne heavily, ")ut whose spirit was as young and as powerful as the tr.essspo he nresented. And what was his message? We find it in his epistle to the Roman church. It was III. justification by Faith (Rom. 5:6-11). Christian men and women are those who were weak (v. 6); ungodly (v. 6), unrighteous sinners (v. 7, 8), and enemies of God (v. 10). But having been justified by his blood (v. 9), they are "saved'' (v. 9). What a beautiful word ? "saved!" Brought back to God. "reconciled to God through the death of his Son" (v. 10), we are indeed saved if we have accepteo him as our Saviour. This was Paul's message, and it is our message to a lost world. Count Your Mercies Be on the lookout tbr mercies. The more we look for them the more of them will we see. Blessings brighten when we count them. Out of the determination of the heart the eyes see. If you want to be gloomy, there's gloom enough tc keep you glum; if you want to bt glad, there's glean: chough to keep you glad. Say.

Before you begin to exercise, you should relax your entire body, including your eyes. Then look straight ahead at a spot on the wait. Don't blink. Hold the position for a few] seconds. Now close your eyes and . imagine you are looking at coal-black velvet. Open them, look straight ahead, then up to the right, up to the left, down to the right, down to the left. Do this several times. Then again turn the eyes straight ahead, and repeat this exercise eight or ten times. Once more look straight ahead, and repeat this exercise eight or ten times. Once more look straight ahead, then look down ten times. i If you do these exercises with vim I and vigor you will find that cramped] tired feelinir has left vmir oven Vnur mirror will show them bright and 1 sparkling, with the whites clear ami . un conges ted.
