he treats Of a most important subject
Giving is not an acc dent. 1t is as neces-

give Nothing chills and closes the heart
more completely than selfishness. And
nothing opens the heart so wide as love
The Macedonian churches had set the
Corinthians an example of noble giving
They had first given themselves to Christ
and then they had given of Their poverty
to their poor brethren.
And for this they had the example Of
Christ: Who though He was rich. yet
for our sakes He became poor that we
through His poverty might be rich" He
gave Himself for US because He loved
us The same grace in US will produce
the same results.

TX. Paul on Self-Denial.
Romans. 14:l0-2i.

This is the temperance lesson for the
quarter. II is a very strong one. The
question of personal responsibility for
the conduct Of our fellows was forced
upon the early church. With them the
great contention was respecting The eat
ing OF meat that had been offered To
idols. That question has passed away,
but the principle is OF ceaseless appii-
cation. IL our brother be grieved by
our course, we walk not charitably. We
must not destroy him with our meat for
whom Christ died. For 1T is good
neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine.
nor anything whereby thy brother
stumbleth, or is offended or is made
weak" This cuts up by the roots the
use of alcohol as a beverage.

Jerusalem. Five days after Paui's escape
committee. composed of the high
priests. prosecuting attorney and
others, went to Cesarea TO present
charges against Paul The charge con-
sisted of three specifications, as follows:
Paul was a mover of sedition; he had
profaned the temple. and he was a lead
er of the sect Of the Nazarenes.
Paurs defense was manly and COM
plete. He acknowledged himself to be
disciple of Christ and a believer in the
resurrection of the dead. Felix was con-
WINGED, but promised fuller hearing on
the coming of Lysias, the chief captain.
Later Felix and Drusilla, his wife. gave
Paul an opportunity to plead his cause.
AS he spoke Felix trembled and said:
go thy way for this time. and when
have a convenient season I Will call for
thee.r That time never came. and Felix
after two years left Paul bound.

fell out before him, one by one. He
summoned q soothsayer and asked him
TO interpret the dream.
The soothsayer said, 20 king, the
meaning of thy dream is that thy
family and relatives shall die in thy
presence, one by one. till all are gone"
The king was very angry at that
and sent the soothsayer at once to
prison.
Then he sent for another so~othsayer
and again asked for an Interpretation
of the dream.
The soothsayer made answer, 80
king. the Interpretation of thy dream
is that thy family and relatives shall
die. one by one, and thou myself shalt
outliye them all"
With this answer the king showed
approval and commanded that q pres
