for the church, he possessed rare ele-

became his teachers. Here was zeal and
learning and eloquence used in preaching
an emasculated gospel: and the result
was what it ever has been and ever must

life was not renewed. Aquila and Priscilla

pATL-S THIRD MISSIONARY JOURNEY
EPHESUS. Acts. Is d 10 :: 30.


vHE apostle Paul is splendid
illustration of the power of the
gospel on the human life. We
err greatly when we imagine
that the effect of the gospel
upon him was peculiar and exceptional. SO
that the life of Paul is not to be regarded
as an example for the Christians OF today
The only thing that was peculiar in the
life of this apostle was the thorouShness
of his conservation and the measure OF
the spirit of Christ which he possessed.
We may he sure that now and ever the
same degree of conservation and the same
fullness of the spirit In any life will pro-
duce the same results. The second mis-
sionary journey had closed. Paul had
kept the feast at Jerusalem, and then he
FASTENED to Antioch. the place from which
he began his journey. How refreshing
must have been his stay in that city Here
he found men and women who possessed
the same broad views of the gospel and
who were thrilled by the same experiences
as his OWL Persecution was exchanged
for sympathy. hatred for love. But Paul
knew that he was not called to rest. How
rarely 10 Christians in these days learn
this truth" He had learned it and he
gloried in 1t. He knew that his life was
to be given to toll and that it was to be
thick strewn with perils and suferings.
Gnder such conditions labor is rest and
pain is sweet The churches that he had
planted. the unsaved and perishing every

birds from the sunny south. Turing away
from Antioch. he faced the toll and suf-

1HERE is an allesory which runs
something like this: Satan once
called his servants to counsel
how they might make a good
man sin. One evil spirit said:
Il will make him sin. will set before
him the pleasures OF sin. ] will tell him
of it's delights and the rich rewards it
brings THAT will not do said Satan.
HE has tried that and knows better
Then another imp started mp and said:
Il will make him SIN. And what will
YOU do?' asked Satan. Il will tell him
of the pains and SORROWS of virtue. 1
will show him that virtue has no delights
and brings no rewards.
"Ah, no." exclaimed Satan. THAT will
not do at all. for he has tried ii and
knows that wsdom's ways are ways of
pleasantpess and all her paths are peace
WELL said another. Il will make him
sin. | will discourage his soui!'
THAT will do cried Satan. We shall
conquer him now.
