CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES. Sunday,
March 9Th. Mr.. Mckinney used as his scrip
ture lesson the 9th chapter of Acts, and as
text the 31st verse of this chapter. This is OF
Pauls voyage toward, Rome. Luke,the author'
relates wildly the dangers, disaster and hnai
dsl;verance. In this account there are four
elements to consider; the sailors skill, the SOL
dier's force, Pauls courage and Gods mercy.
Skill shirked, force failed. Pauls courage ana
common sense stood the test. Through calm
obedience to Gods guidance he Drought all
with him to safety. Lured by the softly dow
ing south wind the dangerous voyage was un-
dertaken against Pauls judgment. oniy

nassed without sight of sun or stars. All save
Paul the prisoner despaired. Above the iasn-
ing of the storm rose his message OF gooo
cheer. God would bring all to land. Calm in
supreme trust he quoted his terrified COM
panions and urged them to take food. Master
ful in the authority of power, he 1orceo all 10

coast q night of terrible suspense was passed.
