Of Prince Ferdinand Gonzaga. Marquis
of Castiglione. From his infancy he
showed great love for the poor. At all
times he was very devout. He spent
many hours each day in prayer and medi-

age he resolved to resign his inheritance
as marquisate of Castiglione in favor of
his younger brother, Ralph.
On the 25th of November, in the year
1855. the young prince entered the novi-

Jesuit clergy erected a hospital for the
sufferers, in which they nursed the sick

fell Ill. On March he was forced to
remain in bed. and for several weeks he
seemed to hover between life and death.
His life was spared. but he never fully

The lessons for the last three months.
with the exception of the Easter and
temperance selections. were all taken
from the Acts Of the Apostles that
record AL that Jesus continued both
to do and teach" through the Holy
Spirit, in the early days of Christianity.
The period of apostolic history covered
by the lessons of the quarter was
about fifteen years. 1t may we'll be
questioned whether any other fifteen
years I'm all the worlds centuries
have seen such marvellous changes
changes, too, accomplished without
war and without any serious shedding

tianity and In its Transformation from

ligion. Peter, the natural leader Of the

of the religion of Jesus through his

Every great truth must frst become

derive from that living. fervent heart

the foes of the early church the man
whom He fitted to be the emancipation
of Christianity, freeing the primitive
church completely from the bondage

Transforming Visions.

Three visions were considered in the
OF Christ and his program changed the
character of not only men. but of the
early church and of nations. The first
vision resulted in the conversion of
the prosecutor of Christianity into the
champion of the faith. The grace of
God that won Saul by vision of the
Christ in still able to subdue the great
est of sinners and protect through the
Holy Spirit the people who put their
faith in the Master. The struggle Of
the days of darkness had to be fol-
lowed by the years Of silence during
which the great ambassador to the
eentiies was being fitted for his task.
Meanwhile the lessons showed how
the providence Of God was preparing
the Jerusalem church for the period Of
expansion. The visit of Peter to Jop-
pa, where the seal of God was put on
his ministry by the healing of Aeneas
at LYDIA and the restoration to life of
DorcAs. providentially guided him to
the home of Simon the Tanner. where
he received the revelation that made
clear 70 him that he should respond ia
vorably to the call for help from the
vision to send for the apostle. These
two revelations brought Peter, the
champion of the Jewish conception of
Christianity. and Cornelius. the gentle
seeker Tor tne truth. INTO IelIO~4nip.
SO that the apostle learned that God
was no respecter of persons. While
Peter did not always see the truth in
its Wilderness like Paul. yet that expert
ence enabled him to prepare the Jeru-
salem church to accept the truth. first
preached by Stephen. that the spirit of
Christianity demanded that II spread
among the nations of the earth. I'm ac-
cordance with Christ's commands that
they were to be witnesses of Christ
both In Jerusalem. and in all Judea
ard In Samaria. and unto the uttermost
parts of the earth"
Peter had another demonstration Of
Gods power to remove barriers when
he was imprisoned for preaching the
gospel by Herod. who sought to please
the Jews by prosecuting the leaders Of

by the impulse of humanity to COM

conditions were all hostile to missions,
but the irrepressible passion for the
souls of men resulted in the establish

they were first called Christians.

church.
The same passion for souls caused the

Divine leadership.

The missionary spirit Of Paul was not
satisfied with the results OF his FIRST
tour. for his soul longed to extend ethe
domain of Christ. In his plans for
expansion he was under the guidance
Of the Holy Spirit. who directed him
in such manner that Paul recognized
that God was calling him to carry
the gospel into Europe. The personal
ity and leadership of the Holy Spirit
was manifest In directing him to com
mence the European invasion. which is
one of the decisive events in human
history 1t was one of the pivotal
deeds in the life of mankind. that Luke
recorded in his narrative of the call of
the west. While Paul's call to Europe
was Of God It was also of man, for In
the heavenly vision he saw in the
Macedonian's call the cry OF a human
need for the gospel.
Little DID Paul know Of the future Of
the Christian civilization Of Europe or
America when he responded to the mis-
sionary call to carry the gospel into
Europe. In the sublime faith which
did not ASK to see the distant scene"
Paul followed the daily light and guild
ance of the unseen leader who walk
ed along beside him whispering to the
heroic soul Gods will. Paurs first con-
vert in Europe was a woman whose
home was in Thyatira. where Paul

the seat of one OF the seven churches
of Asia. Very likely Lydia. his hrst
European convert. helped start that
church. Paurs fidelity caused his i'm
prisonment in Philippi, but the prison
became the place OF royal triumph
when the TALLER was converted and the
two missionaries were speedily releas-
ed after the hand Of God was seen in
the earthquake.
Paul's first work in Europe resulted
in the esta hlishment of a church that

which was selected from his letter to
the church in Phiiippi. It was ono of
his last and most sffectionate epistles.
In the loneliness of his darkest hours
the sympathy and support that he re-
ceived from the Christians in Philippi
must have made Paul thank God for
the part he had in planting the gospel
in Europe. II made him forget the per-
sonal difficulties that he had faced
during the period covered by the les
sons because of the attitude Of the
Judaistic party that opposed his broad
interpretations of the gospel of Christ.
