(2.) v. 1928. PAUL IS AGAIN DRIVEN
TO THE GENTILEs. The Jews could not
cease to quarrel among themselves; ;
therefore they could not give candid con-
sideration to Paul's plea for Jesus. They
were wilfully blind and deaf. They had
made themselves so. We have known
such people; from Isaiah's day to our own
the blindness of those who will not see,
the deafness of those who will not hear,
has been one of the most apparent facts
in human nature.

was providential that Paul had his own
commodious hired house, capable of shell
tering large company 1t must have
been the headquarters of the Christian
army in Rome. How eagerly must every
Christian believer have desired to see and
hear Paul and none could be with him
and not catch somewhat of his heroic
spirit. The strong hold Christianity had
taken on the Romans, especially the more
intelligent aad virtuous, as demonstrated
largely accredited to the preaching of
Paul in Rome while chained to his keep
err.
Pagan Rome in her best days, with
in bounds allowed the liberty of thought
and speech
THE Jews in Rome did not, before
they heard the evidence, assume that
Paul was wilful falsifer.
THE Gospel seed has but small
chance when sown on a rock.
-Dissentions and disputes-not prop
erly Observation-Disclosures the progress of
truth.
Paul turned what might have been
to another a season of idle waiting, to a
sublime opportunity.
when we have become acquainted
with the personal Paul we are prepared
to appreciate the human element in his
Epistles.

ing the floor below; the noble hall rises
Though two floors to the height of
tkirty-four feet, and is rooted with art
glass through which the light streams
soft and mellow as the beams of a
summer moon when all the sky is
cloudless.
All the main portions of the building
are connected more or less directly
with this hall.
The drawing room occupies the
northeast corner of the building. In
general dimensions it is twenty-four
feet wide and thirty-two feet long, but
the space is increased and the general
effect of the apartment heightened by
the deep circular curve of the interior
of the round tower that adorns this
point of the structure. The wide fire
place is characterized by mantel Of
rose Numidian marble, carrying a deep
ledge supported by caryatideS.
Gold forms what may be called the
dominant tone in the coloring Of the
room, as walls, chairs, tables and other
furnishings are richly gilded.
Directly opposite the drawing room
and occupying the southeast corner OF
the building, is the living room, which
by wide sliding doors, forms a suite
with the library.
In the library the wainscoting and
finishing generally are of rare woods

purely fanciful and spiritual. Beauti-
full maidens in diaphanous robes, Gu
pids trailing wreaths of flowers,
nymphs and graces floating amid ro-
seate clouds, constitute the figures that
in colors of exquisite daintineSs and al
most transparent clearness look. from
the high ceilings down upon the silken
luster OF the furnishings below, and
animate the scene with suggestions of
joy and beauty and love.
1t is not for its magnitude and its ar
chitectural magnificence only, how
ever, that the great mansion is notice
able. If these were all it might as well
have been built a century ago The
modern dwelling differs from the pal
ace in it's appliances for comfort and
convenience more than in anything
else. An old time residence, whether
for a king or an ordinary citizen, was
a very simple structure in details, how
ever vast it may have been in size.
whereas the house of to-day even for
the use of persons Of moderate means,
has become one of the most complex
structures that tax the ingenuity of
our generation. Appliances for ventila-
ton, warmth, water. gas, call bells,
dumb walters and other necessities of
housekeeping multiply from year to
year, and the Spreckels mansion con-
tainS them all up to date of the most
approved patterns the most finished

LongfelloW. The furniture in this, as
in the living room. is distinctly mod
ern, and not essentially different from
that used in other well appointed man
sions of people of wealth and culture
Beyond the library is the dining
room, truly noble apartment, both as
to magnitude and as to splendor of
decoration. All the woodwork is of pol
iShed mahogany, the wainscoting be-
ing six feet high, ornamented with
carved panels. The walls are covered
with green silk, the windows draped
with curtains of a deeper shade of the
same color, and the painted ceiling
harmonizes with the prevailing tone.
On the second floor, as on the first,
the main feature of the interior is the
grand hall, and the splendor of Alger-
ian marble is continued here, not only
in the balustrade that surrounds the
curving lines of the balcony, but in the
columns, the wainscoting and all the
architectural finish.

desired to do so. This is a gallery run,
ming the full length of the building,
from north to south, along. the Van
Ness avenue front
While the general decoration, as we'll
as the strictly architectural features of
the mansion, was designed by Reid
Brothers, the architects, there are two
points of the ornamentation where the
skill and genius of other artists are
notably manifest. One of these is the
modelling of the chandeliers, which
form conspicuous ornaments of the
grand apartments, all of them being
treated with profuse luxuriance of
ornament and so heavily gilded they
CLEAN like pure gold. The molding of
these chandeliers was done by Frank
Harpersberger of this city, and the fact
may be noted with satisfaction, as an
evidence of the rapidity and success
with which California artisans are RI
valing the best performances of the
most skillful workers in similar lines
in Europe.
The remaining point of interior deco
rative work meriting special notice is
that of Vladimir P. Bush in the adorn-
ment of the ceilings. Gracefulness of
form and delicacy of color are the
characteristics most noticeable in all
the work of Mr.. Bush in the building
With the exception of the library
where he has blazoned the ceiling with
portraits of great poets, his ceilings are
frightened with pictures of meaning

ors and distributed through the differ
ent rooms and halls. Regulators and
thermostats, set to any degree of tenn
perature desired in any room, will
maintain that degree continuously
without further care on the part of the
occupant.
Electric appliances for lighting are
arranged on five circuits and can be
turned on or off by such degrees of
light as are desired.
How large a part the great mansion
will play in the social life of the city
no one can foresee. 1t is fairly certain,
however, that within its library will be
laid many plans for the advancement
of the industries and interests of San
Francisco and California. The home

p HE newly completed mansion
OF Mr.. Claus Spreckels, on the
corner of Van Ness avenue and
Clay street, is the supreme rep
resentative of the tendency to-
ward a higher and more sub
stantial domestic architecture in the
city.
The principal front faces the east on
Van Ness avenue, and is characterized
by the rich and highly artistic treat
ment of the central portion throughout

Directly opposite the street entrance
double doors open from the vestibule
to the great hall which constitutes the
central and most imposing feature of

occupied by Mrs. Spreckels is another,
facing the north and east, and known
as the Marie Antoinette suite, from the
style, of the decorations and furnish
ings, which are modelled after those of
the court of that beautiful Queen.
The remaining suites on the second
floor, while not so extensive as the two
described, are each provided with its
own bath and dressing rooms, and are
equally well appointed. On the third
floor there are three suits of apart
ments complete in all respects. finished
IN cherry and richly furnished. These
suites are grouped around a grand pic
ture gallery that forms the principal
feature of the third floor The gallery
is of the same dimensions in length and
breadth as the great hall below. The
floor is laid with glass, set in a strong
metal framework, so that, while it is
sufficiently transparent to transmit
hight to the hall, it is nevertheless
strong enough to serve as the floor of a
ball room, if it should ever be desirable
to use it for that purpose. An arched
ceiling of great height surmounts the
gallery and admits from the roof

advantage of all the works of art that
