suggested. All the parties to the affair stand Tn relief-conspirators, priests and elders chief captain, Paufs nephew, Paurs self and his guard to Caesarea.
 How futile the conspiracy! The oath bound assassins were all unconsciously speeding Paul on his way to the throne of his widest honor and power. Their plan was laid with consummate villainy. The dignity and sanctity of the priest hood and the Sanhedrin, highest court of the nation, lent itself to the nefarious plot A most plausible request was to be made of the Roman commandant, that examine the prisoner. En route the guard was to be overpowered and the prisoner slain. Humanly speaking by most unexpected means, knowledge/of the plot was conveyed to the chief faptain. who with true Roman promptitude and skill put Paul beyond reach of his enemies.
 The Teachers Lantern.
 The inveterate and historical tenacious ness to life of an ecclesiastical establish ment has striking illustration in this in stance. It Is not of their nature to ad- init themselves to be transitory. They are not willing to diminish that others may increase. The synagogue would not give piace 10 the cnurcn.
 That there are monetary considerations unconfessed but none the less real, may be readily believed. It is still a ques- admission may not be quite so frank as that of the Ephesian silversmtths, By this craft we get our wealth."
 This Is not, however, to deny the abso- lute and disinterested devotion of many who are attached to ecclesiastical estab- lishments of every description.
 The disturbed and unsafe condition of Palestine at this time can hardly be ex- aggerated spark would be enough ts set it on fire Human blood had already flowed with that of the beasts designed foL sacrlhce-a high priest and many worshipers had been slain. Ven- tidius and the Egyptian zealot had play ed their tragic parts. Under all the con- ditionS the prompt and tactful course of Claudius Lysias is to be admired. He was justified in parting with half of his garrison as he did to give his prisoner safe conduct.
 Forty conspirators were thrty-seven too many! The odiousness of Paul Is evidenced by the number who were will ing to stake their lives for his destruc- tion; but the very size of the body made the keeping of the secret impossible. and so defeated the plot.
 Natural affection shines like a jewel in this narrative. Paul's sister loved him as her brother. There is no evidence she was a Christian. The presumption is rather to the contrary. Had she been a Christian 1t is improbable she would have heard of the plot It Is likely she took the initiative in the rescue of her brother, for from the term used her son was yet an immature boy.
 Here is an example of what a boy can do. The obedience. courage. and modes ty of Paul's nephew In this trying ordea' is admirable. His very life was in jeopardy. Yet he did his part faithfully and without faltering.

 The Plot Against Paul.
 The Tower of Antonia was part of great structure which probably extended the entire length of the northern side of the temple court. It was fortress, bar racks, and palace all in one. It's size s indicated by the fact that it could shelter an entire regiment at once. Its splendor is assured by the fame of its builder. Herod the Great always built handsome ly. But he would want this building es- pecially to be sumptuous. as he intended it should bear the name of Mark Antony. Its very position also demanded that 1t should be splendid. It was the sign of Roman power. as the temple next tc which it stood was the splendid memorial of the Hebrew faith. A significant trace of this famous structure remains to our day, in the deep trench to the north. It Is popularly known as the Pool of Bethesda but is probably the castle moat. The chief interest and glory of this heather fortress Is that 1t sheltered the Christian apostle. Under its hospitable roof, safe from the raging of the mob, Paul received gracious and comforting assurances of se- curity until he should reach the goal of hts ardent missionary spirit the city by the Tiber
 While the apostle ir prison was wropt in the consolation of a heavenly vision such as stayed him in Corinth and after ward in shipwreck. his malignant enemies were far from idle. It was not merely hatred that infamed them. It was the instinct of self defense. A more significant tribute to the success of the foremost ad- vocate of the new faith could not have been given. There was not room enough in Judea for both Paul and the Estab- lshed Church. One or the other muSt die. No question but some of the conspira- tors thought they were doing God ser vice They believed in the divine right of assassination. They must away with the man who taught apostasy from Moses, and the "bold genius whose dangerous independence treated Mosaisrn and it's es- sential covenant as a thing of the past" The Sanhedrin seems to have agreed with Ayiditv to the concoction of a lie for the faciliation of murder.
 Tn his extremity Paul seems not to have had the active sympathy of the Christian Church in Jerusalem. When Peter was fin prison prayer was made for him by the Church. We read of nothing of the kind in the case of Paul The signs are evident that he was yet looked upon with coldness. If not hostility.

DAN PATCH GOES
 TO OTHER CITIES
GREAT PAGER WILL GIVE AN FIX HIBITION AT ATLANTA AND WILL ALSO TRY FOR A RECORD AT MACON.

Dan Patch. 1:56ka, will race today in
 Atlanta against the worlds mile record
 on a half mile track, which he recently established in Birmingham. His time
 here was 2:03l4, which was one fourth of
 a second lower than the previous record
 held by Prince Alert
 The great pacer was sent to Atlanta Thursday afternoon in a special express
 car and was attended by two men, who
 are with him constantly. Yesterday morn ing Myron McHenry. driver and trainer
 of the stallion, left for Atlanta, and be-
 fore leaving he said that he expected to
 lower the record again if the weather conditions were good.
 From Atlanta Dan will be shipped to
 Macon, Ga. where he will go against the
 worlds high wheel sulky record on
 Thanksgiving day.
 The Atlanta track is considered almost as fast as the one at the fair grounds
 here, but 1t is only half mile and it is therefore impossible to send Dan after
 the high wheel sulky record there, as half mile track is from two to three sec onds slower than mile track In Macon there is as pretty a mile track as is to be found in the south. with the possible exception of Memphis, and
 if the weather is good Dan should clip
 a second or so from each of the records
 after which he will be sent.
 From Macon the horse will probably
 be sent direct to Minneapolis. where he
 will be put in winter quarters. Lew Ban
 ty and Jack Flynn. who are managers
 of the horse with Mir. McHenry, have
 been in Atlanta several days.
