their big empire right down through the centuries. We need to read and get the people to read the great books of the world, the great poems, the great biographies, the great essays, the great dramas, the best words of fiction. Keep the calls of the. brain for the best A great history is worth the pains of slow and patient reading. A great America npreacher was ac-. customed to read GiDbon once every year. The lines of Johnson and Ar mold and Scott and Tennyson and Gladstone put us in touch with the least contemporary life of the periods in which they lived. The great es- sayists, taste for whom can be cul- tivated; the great poets, philosophers and the rest, who would, if read, take away the taste for the writers who will never come in sight of the mighty Olympus where the great immortals hold their peaceful and unchallenged court. And the great books of 6c- ton and nowhere do the guards and danger signals need to be planted so tnickly as here-for our libraries find their chief constituency among the readers of fiction till we are almost ready to believe that the intellect of meshes of story reading--Dlsrail1 speaks of @ certain woman guanoing her mind with French novels. There is not a little of this intellectual trail- I ing of the mind through the slush of the literary gutters. Somebody has said that ano noble generation of men and women have even been or ever will be reared on fiction" and that to those whose appetftes have been jaded by piQuant stories the great realities l of life and the great movements of the world will fnsirtably pail. And we need to heed the warning. We shall certainly rear no great heroic figures raise up no great public cfti- zens out of those wofse stable read. I ing Is the popular fiction of the day

 And yet amid this sea of frcth and comes from the press and in the pres

 that the battle of faith IS to be fought out on the field of romance. And il is easily believed that certain grea' evils can be effectively assai1ed by thu | ralking fires of these masked batter. les and that works Of fiction will bs in the future as in exceptional in. stances in the past potent force fol helpful beneAcent reform.

others as a veritable Himalaya The Book which has been the root out Of which whole literatures have been evolved and has given rise to the greatest thinking the human mind has ever done; the Book that beyond all others has taught men how to live bravely and die victorionsly. It is never handed out over the library counter, but 1t has inspired the great est books on the librarys shelves. A book in which you will find the great est history, the loftiest philosophy the highest reaches of poetry to which the human mind has scared. The Book which Charles Dickens tells us is the Eternal Book of all, the weary and the heavy laden; the story of Him who through the round of human life had sweet compassion for all the ne- glected of this earth and interest in its every stage, it's every suffering its every sorrow" The Book I would add that beyond all others has made men heroic and brave to do and endure, which has made nations strong and races virile.

he had apprehended him." implies that
some delay occurred-that st. Peters
arrest was after searching. Probably
all Of the Apostles were more or less
secreted about that time. But, trust
ing to the sacredness Of the Passover
season, st. Peter had ventured forth
and was imprisoned, Agrippa intending
his death after the Passover week.
We can well imagine the sadness Of
the Church at this Passover Season,
which must have reminded them con-
siderably of our Lords death. For
some years past 1t has seemed to us
Memorial celebration, was time Of
special trial and testing amongst the
followers of our Lord. Whether this
is fact or not, surely it will not in
jure the Lords people to be especially
on guard against the wiles of the Adj
versary at these times. Let us watch
and pray lest we fall into temptation.
st. Peter is supposed to have been
imprisoned in the famous Castle of An
tonia, where our Lord was arraigned
before PLATE, and where st. Paul was
subsequently taken when mobbed In
Jerusalem. The Apostle had guard
Of four quaternions-fOur soldiers each
who relieved each other every three
hours. Two of the four were chained,
to his arms, the third stood outside the
door, and the fourth was stationed In
the passage leading to the outer gate.
The power Of grace Divine to give
peace amidst alarms is well illustrated
in this case by the fact that st. Peter
was fast asleep when the angel Of the
Lord came to deliver him. The pro-
prieties Of the case are also illustrated
by the fact that the Church were not
asleep, but praying for the Apostle. 1t
was not for him to pray for deliver
ance from Agrippa's power. For him
to have asked for the prolongation Of
life would have manifested wilful-
ness incompatible with a full conse-
Grafton to Gods will. But with the
Church it was different. They could
with all propriety tell the Lord of
their love for st. Peter, and express
the hope that 1t might be the Divine
will that he should continue with them.
Between three and six o'clock in the
morning st. Peter was awakened by
an angel, whose radiant features en-
abled the Apostle quickly to discern

st. Peters knock was answered by
Rhoda-little Rose-who was so de.
lighted, when she recognized his voice
that, childlike, she neglected to open
the door before running back to tell
the praying household that he was at
the gate. Some thought that the little
maid was mistaken. and insisted that
1t was his angel-in harmony with the
thought that an angel had supervision

might personate his charge.
