those living in Tyre. The word for
finding implies a previous search. They
inquired when they landed amid the
crowded streets of the still busy port,
whether any Christians were to be
found there (Acts Is: y .''-Plumptre

time spent at Tyre in nnlading the
vessel, and probably taking in new

nlore Of this church. ard find here
deep sympathy with Paul and his work,
and expressions of it which must have
cLeered the heart of the apostle. WHO

them, not that Paul should not GO, but
that if he went he woula go into bonds,
prison, sufferings. The prophets inferred
from this foreknowledge that Paul
should not gro on. But Paul recognized
more clearly the voice of the Spirit,
and his duty to proceed in spite of
warnings and remonstrances.

go up to God with one voice.

cities along the coast, we find church
already organized. The work was go

where Paul preached.

Q. And the same man had four
daughters, virgins:" The word then. as
afterwards, probably indicated not
merely the bare fact that they were as
vet unmarried. but that they had devot-
ed themselves, If not by irrevocable
vows, yet by a steadfast purpose, to that
form Of service. 1t is improbable that
any 'order of virgins existed at this
early period (Which did prophecy"
