LESSON FOR NEXT SUNDAY.
Second Quarter. ..-............. April 9th, 1885.
Lesson H........... .Paul's ShipWreck.
Acts 81. 27-44.

| Acts 81. 27-44.
Commit to memory verses $780,
q. But when the fourteenth night was come
| as we were driven up and down in Adria about
midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew
| near to some country.
| %. And sounded, and found it twenty faith.
oms; and when they had gone little farther
they sounded again, and found it fifteen faith
| oms. e
49, Then fearing lest we should have fallen
upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the
stern, and wished for the day.
| 80. And the shipmen were about to flee out
| of the ship, when they had let down the boat
| into the sea, under color though they would
have cast anchors out of the foreship.
| 81. Paul said to the centurion and to the SOL
diers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot
be saved.
80. Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the
boat, and let her fall off,
33. And while the day was coming on, Paul
| besought them all to take meat, saying, This
| day is the fourteenth day that We have tarried
and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
"a. Wherefore pray you to take some meat;
for this is for your health for there shall not a
hair fall from the head of any of you.
35. And when he had thus spoken, he took
bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of
them all; and when he had broken it, he began
to eat.
So. Then were they all of good cheer, and they
also took some meat.
81. And we were in all in the ship two hum
dred threescore and sixteen souls.
SO. And when they had eaten enough, they
lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into
the sea.
80. And when it was day, they knew not the
land, but they discovered certain creek with
a shore, into the which they were minded, if it
were possible, to thrust in the ship.
40 And when they had taken up the anchors,
they committed themselves unto the sea, and
loosed the understands. and hoised up the
mansail to the wind, and made toward shore.
Al. And falling into place where two seas
met, they ran the ship aground; and the fore
part stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but
of the waves.
AZ. And the soldiers counsel was to kill the
prisoners, lest any OF them should swim out,
and escape.
43. But the centurion, willing to save Paul,
kept them from their purpose; and commanded
that they which could swim should cast them
selves first into the sea- and get to land.
a. And the rest, some on boards, and some on
broken pieces of the ship. And SO it came to
pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
GOLDEN TEXT.-Then they cry unto the
Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out
of their distresses.
TIME.-November:A A. D. go.
PLACE.-Fhe island of Melta, now Malta;
sonth of Sicily. (See Decriptive Index.)

They had now been drifting helplessly
in the sea for fourteen days and
nights, since leaving the island of Crete,
and at last the seamen Were of the opinion
that land was near, and began to teake
'soundings" This was doubtless done in
the manner now employed on vessels,
that of letting down 4 line with a weight
attached, and being marked as scale of
measurement. They were, according to
this measurement in about one hundred
and twenty feet of water. While they
were pleased with the prospect of coming
to landing-place, there was fear lest
they should be dashed to pieces upon
rocks, and to avoid the possibility of this
they cast anchor, and waited the develop
general thing anchors are cast from the
bow of the vessel, but sometimes from
the stern.
AS is too frequently the case, the sailors
in this case attempted to flee in the boats.
Paul spoke to the centurion, reminding
him of the important fact that if the sail
ors were permitted to escape, those re-
naming would be lost. Acting upon this
thought the soldiers cut the ropes by
which the boat was hung to the vessel,
permitting the boat to drift away and be
lost. This seemed like a harsh, if not
desperate measure, but was the only
method which at the time presented itself
of keeping the sailors on the vessel. The
Apostle seems to have been the only one
on the vessel who felt degree of securi-
ty, for he was ever planted firmly upon
the rock. He therefore directed attention
to the great need of all for abundant food.
In the twilight of the morning he took
bread and meat, and induced those about
him to partake of it. There were two
hundred and seventy-six persons on the
vessel-surely an extensive crowd of pas
sengers. At this time, after they had
eaten sufficient food to satisfy their hun
ger, they eSpied a certain creek, or bay,
which presented a favorable landing
place, and immediatly weighed anchor,
hoisted sail, and attempted to reach the
bay. In this attempt, they ran into a
place where two currents met, and the
fore part of the vessel ran aground, the
rear part being broken. Here at last the
prisoners, as well as soldiers and sailors,
began to rejoice i'll the prospect of safety,
yet new and terrible danger arose. The
soldiers, fearful lest the prisoners might
escape, proposed to secure them by killing
them. Here again the Apostle was
means of performing a valuable service
to his fellow-prisoners. For the Centur-
ion desired to conduct Paul safely to
Rome, and prevented the soldiers from
carrying out this inclination.
The Centurion commanded those who
could swim to cast themselves into the
sea and attempt to reach the shore. 1t
may be that Paul was of this number as
shipWreck was not a new experience to
him. In I'd Corinthians, 11th chapter and
25th verse, he says: Thrice was beaten
with rods, once was | stoned, thrice l suf-
fered shipwreck, a night and day have
been in the sea-"
Those able to swim leaped into the
water and swan ashore, and the remain
der succeeded in reaching land by the aid
of supports found upon the vessel Thus
once again does the Apostle come through
great trials and dangers to point of
safety.
