Hampton Commissioners Receive Orders
in Regard to Road.
Port Byron, Oct. 17.-Farmers in
the vicinity of Warmers crossing are
gratified over the latest action taken
by the highway commissioners of
Hampton township. who have now de-
cided that the petition prayed for by
the Rock Island Improvement com
pany he not granted and that the ia
vorable action of the commissioners
taken Oct. be repealed. At the meet
ing Oct. the petitioners granted the
petition of the company for a new
road and the right to build a viaduct
providing that the inducements which
the Rock Island Improvement com
pany promised were filed with the
town clerk before or on Oct. >. For
some reason the company failed to
place on file these inducements and
when the commissioners met Oct 5
they passed the following resolution:
whereas, The Rock Island I'm
provement company has rallied and
neglected to file said inducements: :
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the commissioners
do not file said final order (the petit
ton that was granted) with the town
clerk and that we erase our names
therefrom''
This means that the old road to
Watertown, generally known as the
Warmers crossing road, will still be
used as it has for years, and that the
railroad will for the present be cross
ed on the level

Order Of Publication.

Ami Teets, Plaintiff, vs.. Marion Teets, De-
PENDANT.
No. l2lS Equity. In the Circuit Court for
Garrett County, Maryland.
The object of this suit is to procure a de
cree divorcing the plaintiff q riacUlo matri-
aloaii from the defendant.
The bill states that the plaintiff and de
PENDANT were married on the goth day of
September, 1890. and resided in Garrett
county as man and wife until about year
ago.
That the said plaintiff has since said mar
riage conducted himself as kind and affec-
tiOnate husband toward the said defendant
That the said defendant on divers days
and times since said marriage has commit
ted the crime Of adultery with one Peter
Keefer and divers other men.
That on or about the Ord day of Septem-
Der, 1902, the said defendant left the plaintiff
and went with the said Peter Keefer to the
State of Kansas, where she now is.
1t is thereupon, this 23rd day of June, 1903,
ordered by the Circuit Court for Garrett
ing copy OF this order to be inserted in
some newspaper published in said Garrett
county. once in each of four successive weeks
before the 9th day of June, 1903, give notice
to the said absent defendant of the object
and substance of this bill, warning her to
appear in this court, in person or by solicit
tor, on or before the 18th day of July next,
to show cause, if any she has, why decree
ought not to be passed as prayed.

like a wild beast at its prey. The
captain showed the best seamanship
which was possible in his age, but it
was all in vain, and destructionseemed
inevitable. 1t was then that Paul, as
if by the suffrage of all on board, be-
came practically the commander of
the vessel. Partly through his nat
ural sagacity and through his large
experience-he having Eeen thrice
shipwrecked in these waters-and
partly through the revelation of God,
he directed to a course which saved
the lives of all on board. The great
transport ship, previously stripped of
her last spar and sail and emptied of
her cargo, goes to pieces in the boil
ing surf, but its entire population of
two hundred and seventy six souls
stand saved on the storm beat shore
of the Island of Malta.
Nv
No doubt those nautical figures of
speech which Paul uses with such
fine effect were suggested to his mind
by this experience or one like it. Ship
wreck is one the most terrible of hui
man disasters. As a moral disaster
the loss of religion is like it, and Paul
describes it as the shipwreck of faith.
Again as the apostle gazed astern and
thought of the the comparatively
small anchors and saw how the cables
strained, he thought of the one sufli-
cient hope which as the anchor of
the soul, sure and steadfast, entered
within the veil.
***
Here also is an illustration of the
efficacy of intercess DRY prayer. Paul
prayed, but not for himself. The
vision at Jerusalem had assured him
that he should reach Rome. He pray
ed for his fellow-voyagers. In answer
God gave him all that sailed with
him.
~
The minute particularly of the
narrative at this point is accounted
for by the extreme historical impor-
tance of the voyage. 1t was the trans
ference of Christianity from an old to
a new center OF power-from Jerusa-
lem to Rome. This lends new inter
est to every league sailed, and every
! otherwise trivial circumstance. When
a ruler is making progress through
his empire, every incident which tran
spires enroute is considered worthy
of report. So when the gospel. in the
person of the apostle, moved across
the seas, the evangelist knew that
there was no incident of the journey
but would be read with avidity.
#''#
Paul gives a most graphic descrip,
ton of Christian, when in his adj.
dress of comfort to his fellow-voy
ayers, he says, There stood before
me this night an angel of God, whose
am and whom l serve.n 1t is vel
said, ITO belong to God is the sun
of religion: the correlative is to serve
him"

PAULs VOYAGE AND sHIPwRECK

PAUL's VOYAGE AND sHIPWRECK
On the dark background of this
terrible storm at sea the character of
st. Paul shines out in fullest luster:
his dauntless courage, his practical
wisdom, his commanding spirit, his
tender and helpful considerateness of
his suffering fellow-creatures all APP
pear.
The eth chapter of Acts has been
well called the sailors chapter. Lord
Nelson read it on the morning of the
battle of Copenhagen, and it suggest
ed to him one expedient which is said
said to have greatly contributed to
his victory. The chapter has been
subjected to the most searching scien-
tific examination, and in spite of its
minute particularly has been demon
strated to be correct in every partic
ular.
st. Paul had not exposed himself to
the perils of this fearful voyage by any
caprice of his own. Festus, in order
to conciliate the turbulent populace
over which he had become governor,
proposed TO send Paul to Jerusalem
for trial before the Sanhedrin, intend
ing himself to act as presiding officer
and thus insure Justice to his prison
err. But Paul had more than once
seen the cleaning daggers of theiSica-
ri. He knew better than the new'gov-
ernor the peril of assassination to
which he would be exposed, and as
a last resort he used the right of the
Roman citizen of appeal to the en-
peror. Festus and Agrippa might
agree that if Paul had not appealed
he might have been set at liberty.
The only safe place for him was be-
hind the walls Of a Roman prison.
His voyage to Rome also was in direct
line of Providence: and so it fell out
for the furtherance of the gospel"
st. Paul, manacled to a Roman SOL
der as he had been for two years,
went on board of a coasting vessel in
the harbor of C8sarea, with other
prisoners in charge of the friendly
centurion, julius. He had for his
travelling companions Aristarchus,
one of his faithful Macedonian con-
verts, and Luke, the beloved physici-
an, who, besides watching over Pauls
health, kept a daily record of this
memorable voyage.
We can imagine Paul's emotions as
he gazed upon the shore of the Holy
Land, rapidly and forever receding
from his view. As Stalker says
Here was the last of her inspired and
prophetic sons come to visit her fol
the last time with boundless love
for her in his heart, but she would
have murdered him" She did banisl
him. We can imagine, too, his feel
ings as he sailed by Cyprus, scene Of
his earliest missionary tolls and tri-
umphs, where he silenced the sorcerel
and converted the governor. How
his heart must have been stirred as ht
sailed the Cicilian Bay, and cast t
last and lingering look at the scene o
his happy childhood.
