Acts Xxx, 22-35.

APPROVED.-The apostle not only af-
flrmed his loyalty to Christ but chal-
lenged the approval of his brethren, de-
string them to confess his faithfuness
as a minister. He had declared all the
counsel of God (verse 2O, Withholding
nothing through fear or favor, he had
instructed them in the essential truths
of Christianity (verse 20). Accordingly he
must be free from blame II any In the
church at Ephesus came short OF
consistent life or failed of the favor of
God (verse 26). There Is undoubted ref
erence here to the responsibility of the
prophet, or public teacher under the old
dispensation. (Ezek. i'll, 1S-19) He had
good reason for desiring this approval
of the elders-he was going from them,
not to return; 1t was the end of their
earthly relations, the close of his work
among them (verse 25) lie rightly es-
teemed their favor as an incentive, and
he sought by means of that favor to
prepare them for the adv:ce which he
was about to deliver. He would leave
his last words enforced by his faithful
ness.
CHARGED.-It was an easy matter for
Paul to turn from his own conduct to
that of the elders. Verse 2S). There
fore" he says, because of his example
he charged them to do their duty. That
duty had reference primarily to them
church must be godly. The elders must
make the apostle in a sense pattern.
III Thess. iii, 81. BY the memory of his
excellent ministry they were to be in
duced to care for the church, to feed it
as a flock, like under shepherds. Two
other considerations are here given to In
cite them to fideMty. That church had
been purchased by the blood of Christ
(Heb. tx, 14, and was therefore exceed
ingly dear to him. (Eph. V. 25). Moreover,
by the Holy Ghost they had been made
| overseers or superintendent (or bishops,
| as the word might be rendered) of that
| church. Here, then, were three powerful
| motives--the words and influence of the
| apostle, the value and glory of the church.
and the nature of the aDpointment-all
| uniting to move the EDhesian elders TO

| WARNED.-To render all this the more

| Verses 90 and 3O). He does not tell how

CONNECTION.--After two lessons In
the Epistles we return to history. The
excitement at Ephesus having subsided,
(Acts xix: 21-3i) Paul went forth ac-
cording to his purpose to Macedonia and
to Greece. Werses 1 and % His stay in
those regions, however, was bTIer. Under
the prompting of the spirit, his heart
was set on going to Rome. Sailing with
several companions he proceeded via
Tross, Assos, Mitylene, Sames and
Trogyllium to Miletus. In each of these
cities he preached and rendered valu-
able service to the church. Being in
some haste he did not go up to Ephesus
but sent for the elders of tnat city, who
came down to Mletus to see him. The
interview which followed was extremely
interesting. These men, charged with all
the affairs of the congregation, were
greatly attached to Paul as their spirit
ual father, delighted to see him after
his separation and he delivered to them
an address, part of which we shall study
today.
BOUND-Having briefly referred to his
labors at Ephesus Oversees IS to 2D, Paul
speaAs of his contemplated journey. He
was on his way to Jerusalem, what
proved to be his last visit to that vener-
able seat of the Jewish religion, dear
to him by many memories. (Acts xxi, 80
In going he had no special mission, eX-
cept to bear aims to the brethren. (Acts
xiv, ~ He was wholly ignorant as to
the things that would beIall him there.
Verse 22) He went because bound in the
spirit (Acts xix, 21,) being prompted and
guided by the Holy Ghost, under whose
directions all of his labors had been per-
formed. (Acts xiii, 2.) The prospect,
however, was by no meas encouraging.
The same spirit that ordered him to
Jerusalem also informed him that every
where he would be subjected to trial-he
would be bound with chains and af-
flicted. Verse 23) 1t was truly heroic
for a man to accept such a lot, q Thess.
Ill., 80 his whole life being devoted to
God, rewarded only at the time by suf-
fering. (Acts tx, 16)
UNMOVED.-Why was Paul unmoved
by this prospect of personal misfor-
tune? Why did he go forward when he
knew that Imprisonment awaited him? 4?
Why should he even jeopardize his life?
(Rom. viii, 35) He gives his secret in
his letter to the Romans. (Verse 24) A
course of action, a mission. was before
him, which he was determined to ac-
complish. and to come to IT'S end with

HE RAISED THEM.
But They Had Champagne and He
Only Ham and Eggs.

A few nights ago a miner from the
North who had lately sold a claim, had
money to burn, and was in an incen-
diary mood, came down to Spokane
to make the currency bonfire. He was
rather rusty looking when he struck
Spokane, but he was hungry, and, be-
fore going to a barber shop, or bath,
dropped into an uptown restaurant to
get something to eat. There was but
one waiter, and he, busy carrying
champagne to party at another table,
paid little attention to the handbook
ing miner. Finally, the waiter was
called over, when the miner said:
See here. kid! Do 1 eat?'
Sorry I can't wait on you now," was
the prompt reply "but the gentlemen
there have just ordered a $50 dinner"
"Fifty-dollar dinner be hanged!
Bring me $100 worth of ham and eggs,
and be quick about it! Do look like
guy who can be bluffed by a mess of
popinjays?" He was waited upon
neutrality-suspicious. Republican.

C.P. HUNTING7ON'S GIFT.
He Donates Some Valuable
Books to the State Uni
versity Library.
Rare Volumes and Pamphlets Dealing
With the Early History of
California.

BERKELEY, CAL, July 13-Collis P.
Huntington has made a gift OF great
value to the library of the State Univer.
books and pamphlets dealing with the
early history of California.
In the col ection of $500 books and PAM
phlets which he has donated there is to
be found vast amount OF inform ton re-
garding the early pioneers. the Vigilance
Committee, the Chinese question, COM
merce, railroads. steamships, sermons
and historical orations in great mum ber.
The larger portion of the collection hav-
their value, both historic and from the
point of view of their scarcity, is consid-
cred to be great.
In speaking of the gift, Librarian
Rowell said to-day: "In a mass of mate
rial so great and diversified scarcely any
feature of California history can be
imagined that is not more or less COW
cred. A complete collection of all that
has been published up to date on Califor-
MIA would include about 5000 distinct
themes, and Of these fully $500 are repre-
sented in the Huntington collection.
Among the notable documents is the
log of the California, the first steamship
that ever entered San Francisco Bay, and
the original articles of incorporation of
the first railroad projected in the Stase."

nsition was made to the Board of Town

$4,000 cash, or to rent such a system to the

The principal difficulty now in heway
is whether there is enough money in the
treasury TO apply for such a purpose. The
matter will be brought up again at the
