The apostle Paul was a great traveller
by land. He was also great sailor.
Ne have recorded in today's lesson an
account of his most memorable voyage.
Luke probably gave us minute account
OF this voyage to exhibit before US some
of the remarkable characteristics of
faul as man. and also to show US the
manner in which the gospel of the Son
OF God officially reached Rome. the cap
itai of the civilization of the world at
that time. THE story is religious. be-
cause it shows a deeply religious char
acter acting in a Christian manner
among the scenes of everyday life. just
where Christianity is most needed.
Every great truth in the Bible is taught
III several different ways-by statement,

poetry 1t takes them all to guard us
from error. Here we saw illustrated in
life the doctrines of Divine Providence,
of Gods plans in harmony with man s
free will. Gods care over his children.
