Paul's Work in Rome.

Our previous lessons have shown us
that it was Paul's invariable custom {"

never forgot that he was of the seed or

after the flesh. a descendent OF David.
In other cites he went TO them; now they
must come to him. After three days
Paul doubtless supposed that the jews
at Jerusalem had sent grave and FORMAL
charges to their countrymen at Rome
against him. 1t seems strange that this
had not been done. 1t may be that tney
reasoned that with man OF Nero's tenn
per the Jews would have but little infiu-
ence but, whatever may have been the
cause, it gave Paul a decided advantage
in the first presentation of his cause De-
fore his people. He must first explain
why he was prisoner. There were SINS
which the Jews everywhere could easily
condone. To oppose the Roman authority
or to endeavor to throw OF the Roman
yoke would be regarded by them as .
trivial offense, but charge formulated
by the Jews and pressed BY them against
a prisoner would in the beginning De re-
garded by them as proof of guilt.
Paul began by admitting the fact. Inc

chained by the arm to a soldier who had
him in charge. The Roman law upon
this subject was explicit and admitted
of no exception. The vigilance of the Of
ficer would doubtless be increased as they
neared the capital But, even so, the
friends of Paul could walk by his side.
They could tell him of the church In
Rome, its difficulties and dangers. its
trials and its trumphs. And he could tell
them of the wonderful spread of the Cos

they approached the city.
Paul. unquestionaSly. greatly needed
the encoura cement that he received from
these friends from Rome. He was not in
robust health: for six months he had
been exposed to unusual dangers: he was
suffering from the thorn in the flesh,
and he was about to appear before the
most cruel tyrant who had ever OPP
pressed and degraded people. Besides.
his enemies might, by this time. have
prejudiced the church. so that they would
not be willing to receive him. Under
such circumstances we do not wonder
that when Paul beheld these delegations
from the church in Rome. that he
thanked God, and took courage"

mer DIR. Grenfell sent one of his boats,
the Lorna Doone, with the noted mis-
sionary Rev. II. \. Peck to Baffins Land.
This ship made a most remarkable voy-
age, going to Baffins Land from st.
Johns and return i'm six weeks, carrying
supplies and lumber for the missionaries
in Baffns Bay.
During the past summer the fishery
has been very disastrous on the La
brador coast. In order to relieve the
impending poverty DIR. Grenfel has in
sttuted several new cooperative stores,
enabling the people to secure foodstuffs
on a reasonable basis, and to give them
an impulse to thrift and self-support.
Nothing has been more effective in re-
lieving the poverty of the people on the
Labrador coast than the cooperative sus-
TEN that he has installed, and thus
checked the progress OF chronic poverty.

The Residence in Rome.

On reaching Rome the centurion
would Immediately deliver the prisoners
to his superior officer. The custom was
to put the prisoners into one OF the pris-
ons of the city, where they would be kept
until their trial. But the centurion
evidently exerted himself in behalf OF
the apostle. Paul was permitted TO
hire his own house. And while he was
under the constant surveillance OF a
member of the guard, his friends were
at liberty to come and go at pleasure.
He could preach the gospel to all who
would come. He could write letters to
the churches abroad; and he could in
spire and direct the efforts Of the Chris
tians at home. Nero was too busy with
his crueltes and his shameless indul
gences to call the apostle before him.
This gave Paul two years for uninter
rupted work in the cause OF his Master.

will help very little.
The question Of noise in gears comes
down TO a question Of accuracy, not only
in cutting and finishing, but in mounting
them in their respective places. The shafts
on which they are to run must be parallel
and be in the same plane.
Five to seven ~thousandths Of an inch
clearance Is about the correct amount for
spur gears. With fixed shafts a greater
amount would be Of no advantage. In
automobile work it is unnecessary to
make the gears run without any
b~acklash, except In the case Of
valve gears, by which the valve
and ignition apparatus must be aotuated
exactly in time. In some cases the clear
ance OF various gears on an automobile is
as much as ten or twelve thousandths Of

Noise from gears is one Of the most i'm
portant things to consider In the making OF
a quiet-running automobile. A transmits
sion can row be made Of hard alloy steel

as vibration is concerned. Experience in
electric machines long ago indicated that

type could be made positively noiseless.

One theory OF noise in gears Is that OF
irregular tooth pressure when, from slight
inaccuracy, one tooth has a pressure diff
ferent from that OF the next succeeding
tooth, thereby setting up a varying vlba-
tion and backlash. II the speed Of the
gears is rapid, a complicated vibration,
amounting to a noise, is set up.
The shape OF the transmission (change

its quiet running qualities. In one method

the cutting Is done by a rotary cutter; ac-
