INTRODUCTION,

Our last lesson before the quarters
review was from Paul's speech to the
presbyters of the church in Ephesus.
Our present lesson passes without break
in the time and occasion to the parting
We must take the records in both Acts
and the Epistles of the time, in order to
ascertain the temper of Paul's mind on
the occasion. In Acts he is represented
as oppressed with the feeling of the
dangers he is to undergo at Jerusalem;
while in the Epistles he writes of his
confident purpose of going to preach the
Gospel in Rome and perhaps in Spain.
But there are clear indications in Acts
that Paul had cherished the idea of a
mission to Rome; and in his Epistles,
especially in 81 Corinthians we can
trace sharp indications of sense #
peril, and perhaps premonition of
death itself, as he writes of his foes and
their malice. So we must see that from
time to time Paul's mind took in view
of both sides of his fortunes, and was
perhaps feeling his way to great idea
that like his Master he was to do his
work in suffering. and triumph through
defeat and death. His meeting with the
well-loved men whom he had set over
the church in Ephesus, was such as
would stir his feelings to their depth;
and the parting. sad at all times. carried
with it now deeper sadness, because
OF the probability of permanent separa
tior. The Pastoral Epistles carry with
in themselves the implication that Paul
once more iourneyed to Ephesus after
his imprisonment in Rome, and minis
tered to his people there. We are not
to say such an event was impossible
because of the impression in Paul's
mind at the time of this farewell

THE LESSON AND ITS APPLI.
CATION.

1. The significant lesson in this
journey of Paul to Jerusalem is his
purpose in undertaking it. As
one gathers the facts of Pauls mission
airy work from his Epistles to the Cor
inthians. the Galatians. and the Romans,
he becomes aware of great conflict in
the church due to Paul's attempt to
bring the Gentiles into the church. He
saw single life for all men: the life of
Jesus Christ; single law Of life: the
law of love; single church; the church
of all souls united by faith in the life of
Jesus, and the love of God and man.
He had given all the energies of his
being to the establishment OF the
churches he had formed upon this
ground. In this attempt he had NOR
tally offended the Jews; and they had
opposed him, fought him, and finally
determined to take his life. At Antioch
in Pisidia. at Thessalonica. at Ephesus.
they had cast him out. Upon his return
from his third journey. they had laid a
plot to assassinate him; and he had es.
capped them only by changing his route
of return.
The other Apostles, working for the
most part with Jews. were compelled to
avoid the preiudices which he had
offended; and in order to do 80 were
placed in very difficult position, having
to choose between opposing Paul alto
gether. or siding with him against the
Jews. The divisions in the Corinthian
church. and the hot conflict that took
place between the parties there, grew
out of this dilemma in which the
Apostles were placed; so the Judaizing
mission to the Catalan churches was
occasioned. Now when the Jewish
Christians should gather at Jerusalem
at the feast of Pentecost. there was
grave danger that Paul's whole work
would be discarded; and 30 the Gospel
OF universal faith be lost to the world.
PauPs whole ministry was to stand trial.
70 defend it. to secure it he was hasten
ing to attend the momentous gathering.
To shrink from the journey was to be
unfaithful in the crucial hour. II he
failed, his whole life work. his sufferings,
his successes would be thrown away.
There are times when a mans whole life
is under trial. Then he must meet the
issue with supreme courage or re-
nounce all his past.
z. The nature of this purpose.
1t was not only the continuation of a
past purpose; but it rose superior to
dangers Paul had not before confronted
Once he had hoped to live to see the
Coming of his Lord; but when he wrote
I'd Corinthians he felt that he had had
"the sentence OF death" within himself.
and was bearing about in his body "the
dying of the Lord Jesus" He wrote
much now Of his sufferings; but he was
conscious of apower within himself that
rose superior to these sufferings, and
gave him a purpose mightier than all
his dangers. Jerusalem was deadly
ground to such as he. His Master had
died there. But the Spirit of his Master
lived in him; he was ready to die there
also.

stirring them up to their ultimate
depths. but it moulded the laws of ma
tons and regenerated the whole consti-
tuition of society. 1t gave to mankind a
fresh sanction in the word of Christ, a
perfect example in his life, powerful
motive in his love, an all-sufficient COM
fort in the life of Immortality made su Q
and certain to us by his resurrection
and ascension.

When the convention reassembled at
8 o'clock Mr.. Carter Glass placed in
domination for Governor Hon. ]. Hoge
Tyler, of Pulaski, the mention of whose
name was the signal for loud and con-
tinued applause. Mr.. Glass said,
among other things, that Major Tyler
would 60 into the gubernatorial Office a
democrat and remain democrat,
which remark seemed to be understood
as hit at Gov. O'Ferrsll, and was re.
ceiyed with loud and long continued
applause. Prof. Geo. W. Miles, of Rad
ford, seconded the nomination of Major
Tyler for Governor in a short speech,
after which Hon. ]. Taylor Ellyson, o
candidate for the gubernstorial nomina
ton, moved that Major Tyler be nomi-
mated by reclamation, which was done.
This graceful act of Eilyson's created a
dramatic scene. the applause being al
most riotous. By rising vote the con-
vention re elected Mr.. Ellyson State
chairman of the party.
Major Tyler having been nominated
for Governor by reclamation, amid
great enthusiasm, the convention pro-
ceeded to nominate candidates for
Lieutenant Governor. AS the nomina.
tons proceeded the excitement in
creased, and at times the chairman had
to rap hard for order. The following
gentlemen we're placed in nomination
James R. Cation, of Alexandria, by Mr..
L. b. Machen and seconded by Mr.. A.
A. Lipscomb; NJ. T. Cooke, of Norfolk;
E. R. Cooke (populist), of Cumberland,
and Edward Echols, of Staunton, Hon.
J. Taylor Ellyson Yves also named, but
be insisted that his name be Withdrawn.
The food of oratory which
was interrupted only by q state
uent from Mr.. Ellyson that his
name must not be be consider
ed in connection with the Lieutenant
Governorship, continued until long af
ter II o'clock.
The first ballot resulted as follows {:
Echols, 1891; Cooke, 29S; Cooke, 237
35; Cation, 1861; Ellyson, 1852; Blu.
ford, 100 As, aud Brockenbrough, 81.
On the second ballot Cooke was lost
sight of, and stampede began for Ec-
hols. A counter stampede for Cooke
accompanied by much changing Of
votes resulted in 80 much confusion
that third ballot was ordered.
On this account all the candidates e1-
cept Echols and Cooke disappeared
and Echols was nominated. The Ale1an-
dris delegation, which had been steadi
ly supporting Cation, then gave Echols
fifteen of its eighteen votes. and the
changes which followed ran the total
up to sos, Cooke receiving 672. Upon

Hon. ]. Hoge Tyler.

The GAzErTE's report of the pro-
ceedings of the State democratic con-
vention at Roanoke yesterday closed
when the convention took q recess in
the evening.
When the convention reassembled at
8 o'clock the report of the committee
on permanent organization was pre-.
sented, naming as chairman Hon. +.
W. Saunders, of Franklin; secretary, j.
Bell Bigger; sergesnt-at-arms, William
McDermott, of Roanoke. Mr.. Saun-
ders, in accepting the position of chair.
man, made lengthy speech, which
was frequently applauded.
At the close of Mr.. Saunders's speech
resolutions of regret at the death OF At
torney General R. T. Scott were adopt
ed by j rising and unanimous vote.
Also resolutions approving the action
OF the State board in appointing r, Car
ter Scott, son OF the deceased attorney
general, a. his successor.
Judge Samuel Williams, of Wythe
county, presented communication
from the committee appointed by the
populist State convention, which nomi-
mated Edmund r. Cooke. for Lieute-
nant Governor. This communication,
which is signed by Gen. James G.
Field and three other members of the
committee, simply advised the demo
cratic body of the populists' action.
Coupled with the presentation of the
paper was the suggestion of Judge Will
iams that Mr.. Hale, of Franklin, one
of the members ofthe com mittee, be ac-
corded seat upon the floor of the con-
vention. This wss agreed to after
some discussion. The convention, by a
practically unanimous vote, decided to
send the communication to the com
@mittee on resolutions. The point, how
ever, was subsequently made and sus-
lained that no definite action could be
taken on any such proposition until
after the convention had been perma-
nently organized. This incident was
the fret one in which there had been
any reference made to the populists or
the action taken by that party at its re-
cent State convention.
During the absence of the commit
tee on credentials, speeches were made
by ex.Judge Rhea, of Washington
county. The utterance which called
forth the most hearty applause was the
Expression that he sympathized with
the man who went crazy in trying to
discover the difference between Cleve
land adversely and Mckinley prosperi
ty. The convention at o'clock took O
recess until o'clock last night.

THE HOME TELEPHONE COMPANY,

The HOME TELEPHONE COMPANY
The affairs of the Home Telephone
Company took an unexpected turn in
Baltimore yesterday when Judge Den
mis-, of the Supreme Court of Marylsnd,
ignoring the action of the West Virginia
court, appointed Walter B. Brooks, jr,
and John c. Distler, jr., receivers, ard
gave them immediate possession of the
property. He also enjoined James BUS
Sci, the receiver appointed by the West
Virginia court, from interfering with
the new receivers. The receivers were
appointed for the Home Telephone
Company, which is the West Virginia
corporation, and for the Home Tel !.
graph and Telephone Company, which

receivers gave bonds for $40. 900 each.
with an additional injunction bond Of

rectory. The suit is brought on an un-
paid judgment of S175 and costs.
