he was to be known hencefOrth by the Ro-
man name of Paul. Hitherto he held only
a secondary position, henceforth he is known
as a leader, and the great apostle of the Cen
tiles. He cast such an intense gaze on the
sorcerer as not only arrested the attention
but awed the spectators.
V. 10. He calls Elymas " child of the
devil, full of deceit and trickery and lies,
and accuses him of disappearing the truth
itself.
V. IL. The judgment of the Lord was
upon him, he was to become blind for sea-

Little sallie.


Little Sallie was sick-that is, she had a
sore throat-and papa and mamma were
worried for fear it might turn out to be some
thing serious. And so Sallie had to have
her throat painted with a solution of "Some-
thing, and as this was rather painful pro-
cess, she did not enjoy it at all, but kicked
and struggled SO that it required the conn
Oined efforts of papa and mamma and nurse
20 perform the operation-one to hold her
still, one to keep her mouth open, and one to
10 the painting.
1t was after one Of these painting "scenes
that Sallie'S papa-who is minister, and
has to write sermons-sat in his study writ
ing; and presently in came SalIie. Then her
papa took her upon his knee, and talked to
her, and told her that We all had to be sick
sometimes, but God only made US 80 for
some good reason, and so We should try to
be patient, and not dsplease God. and make
those about US unhappy by being cross and
unruly. And then he sat her down, and
went on with his writing, while little Sallie
ran away out of the room.
1t was not long, however, before Sallie
again came into the study, this time very
quietly And when papa looked up, there
she stood, with her hands behind her, look
ing very thoughtful indeed. Then she said,
gazing up shyly from under her eyelashes
at papa: "You don't know what I've got -
And papa guessed ever SO many things, but
could not seem to hit the right one; so he
finally gave it up, and asked: DWELL, little
daughter, what have you got?" And then
she came close to papa, and drew her hands
from behind her. And what do you think
she had? l am quite sure you will be as
unable to guess as her papa was, and so
will tell you. In one hand was the brush,
and in the other the bottle containing the
solution; and she wanted papa to paint her
throat. And when he did so, she did not
cry or make any fuss at all. And now, little
readers, cannot some of you learn lesson
from little Sallie rs. Presbyterian.

by his power, which melted into harmony all
the adjuncts and incidents of the man as
whole; SO much so that, although l would
have said that the accent of DR.. Chalmers
was di8tasteful, yet in DIR. Chalmers himself
would not have it altered in the slightest
degree.
1 will take another example. lam afraid
no one here recollects hearing Mr.. She'll. Ii
no one recOllects him, there is nothing to
which l can appeal; but if you will consider
tin kettle battered about from place to
place, producing succession of sounds as it
knocked first against one side and then
against the other, that is really one of the
nearest approximations that can make to
my remembrance of the voice Of Mr.. Shell;
and there, again, in anybody else l would
not, if it had been my choice, like to have
listened to that voice, but in him l would
not have changed it, for it was part of
most remarkable whole, and nobody ever felt
it painful when they listened to it,. He was a
great orator, and an orator Of much prepar-
ation-I believe carried even to words-with
very vivid imagination and an enormous
power of language and strong feeling. There
was peculiar character sort Of half wild
ness-in his aspect and delivery; and his
whole figure, and his delivery and his voice,
and his matter were all in such perfect keep
ing with one another that they form great
Parliamentary picture; and although it is
now twenty-five years since l have heard Mr..
She'll, my recollection of him is just as vivid
as if had been listening to him to-day
Therefore, 1 hope that these Municipalities
will never be too much discountenanced, and
never altogether forgotten. This whole runs
up into the general principle. Let the preach
er never forget the reality Of man let him
never become conventional being; let hin
never adopt-you won't misunderstood me il
use homely phrase-the mere slang Of
religion; for there is a slang in religion
that is to say, there is an illegitimate growth
of vulgarity and dialect in religion as in
everything else; let him retain his reality as
man, and in proportion to the sense he en-,
tertains of the unreasonable dignity and
power of the Office ne has to fill and the Ia
strument he has to WELD, let him extend a
proportionate and corresponding care in the
cultivation, aye, of the smallest incidental
qualities that he thinks may contribute to the
fuller accomplishment of his work"

Petchaburi Home" The building is designed
for a boarding -school for Siamese girls,
refuge for orphans, and home for the mis-
Sionaries who have charge of it. We drew
our plans in the most economical manner,
and on as small scale as possible for
building Of that nature.
The Foreign Board gave US a sum of
money, and allowed US to hope for more. So
although we knew the sum given would not
complete the work, and the hope of more was
rather doubtful on account of the cry of hard
times that was continually sounding to US
from over the sea, yet nevertheless the foun-
dations were laid long and wide. We did it
in faith, believing, as some old veteran has
said, "that no good missionary work was
ever stopped for lack of funds" AS the
walls were going up day by day we thought
of new plan, and that was to ask the ma
tives for help. In the midst of it came the
kings letter, with its kind closing words that
he wished to Assist and encourage US in our
work in whatever way he could. This seem
ed to open a way for US. We did not wish
to ask the king, but paper was prepared to
circulate among the mobiles of Bangkok. We
did this with greater boldness, as we heard
that over eight thousand dollars had been
sent to Petchaburi to complete an unfinished
pagoda. l will tell you of the result in an
other letter.
