COLDEN TEXT-He Is my refuge and my - fortress.-Ps. 91:2. Paul was rescued from the mob by the prompt action of Lysias, and was saved from scourging by revealing his Roman citizenship (21:27-22:29). 0,very true life, real social service, pa triotisin and national righteousness rest upon ,the value of conversion to Christ. The fundamental. tnessage of the Christian church must always be regeneration. With this message Billy Sinday is grlppliig the large cities, and Dr. John R. Mott Is reaching the stident life of the world. I. Paul's Account of His Early Life (v. 1-5). By his use of the Greek tongue he obtained permission to deliver this address, and by his wise use of the Jewish language he gained the atten tion of the excited crowd. Paul as serted his Jewish origin. (Acts 21-39). Tarsus, where he was born. had a uni versity which rivaled those of Athens and Alexandria, and Paul had probably heard its great philosophers. Paul was an educated man ; lie was brought up in Jerusalem from his early boyhood at the feet of Gamaliel its greatest toucher. Thus his religious training was according to the law of the fa thers, and as "touching the righteous ness which is of the law," he was blaneless (Phil, 3:0). He was zealous ror God, doing what lie thought lie would have lilim do even when "perse cuzed this way," tie way of forgive ness, salvation and righteousness. Jesus said, "I am the way." Iaul was at this time an Instrument in the hatids of the rulers, carrying out their piris, but lie exceeded tleimm in his zeal for "heI raditions of our flihers (Gal. 1:11). lie was not at all like those P1hirisevs whom Christ condemned as "white stpoulclers." ie wis not what we would tern toilay. "a bad m:n." 11. Paul's Turning Point vv. (-21). Paul seens to pick out three different crises in this rihearsal. (1) His inter view i IiIt Christ, when he saw Jesus as he really was in his glory, a living risen Savior (Cor. 9:1; 15.8). He had positive proof of the resurrection from the dead. This proof convicted him of sin. He had heard Jesus call. He had asked Jesus what he would have lhlim to do. He was ready to obey, and something was given him to do. The light which le met on that journey ar rested him in his mad course. The voice gave hii his directions. In obedi ence to tile command, "Arise and go," lie gained knowledge and skill. (2) Ie lights upon 1is Interview with Ananias (v. 14) where he received personal help from an experienced Christian. In the dmrknecss and conihlet of those three dlays of loneliness the questions must have been: Could he leave rank, honor, friends? Could lie enter the service of the despised one and suffer reprIoach, tlainger anid (lenth? During this con ile't he must have had before hium the vision of what God would have him (do, and the work for which lie chose him (vv. 10-18). Is vision and commission constituted a strong motive for right dleeision. During the vision he came lingo the light, anid confessed his faith b~y his baptism. As a result of those three days and his interview with Ananias lhe came to knowv God's will more fully. The next step was of course (3) his public avowal (See Acts ":38; ~heb. 10:22; Rtom. 10:13; I Cor. 0 :11).. The purpose of Paul's wvihe life and mission was changed. Ill. Paul's Dangerous Position (vv. 20-30). Thke niob gave him audience until his words sbout the Geontiles. His decl aration that God had commanded him to go upon a mission to the Gen tiles, was an off'ense to the Jews, and his words fell like a "spark upon an inflammiable mass of fanaticism." They broke out into a frenzy of excitement, and~ made preparations to stone him. Ana Oriental mob is hidleous beyondl de-' gree, howlinmg, yell ig, cumrsinag, gnash. lng their teeth, flinging their ar'ms, easting off their gartnments (v. 23), throwing (lust into the air to relieve their excitement and to express their execration. It was a manifestation of their ulncontrollale~ rage. The oppos;91. tHon of a mob Is no proof that tht person It curses is wrong. Immzediri te.ly preparati onis stopp)ed The coi mander was cal led, and, lea rn ing that Paul was a free-born Rtoman citizen, \ie had cause to be afraid that he had gone too farm.

Paul was well care~d for after this, amid, in orider to find out why the Jewvs were so opposed~ to him, the capitain 4ummoned the Sanbiedrin to meet the l'allowing day, thus unconsciously giy. lag Paul another opportunity to pro laim the goupel of Jesus Christ. Paul indee'd was ready to be bound, anid also to die at -Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

For the first time in the history of the United States this 6ountry is han tiling its own sealskins, a condition tha't should have been brought about long ago, but was not, largely owing to trade sectets connected with the Ilressing and dyeing of the furs, which were possessed exclusively in Eng 11111(1. Seal furs are used more extensivejy in America thiin in any other country :n the globe and Ihie United States -overnment has done more to prevent seals from becoming extinct than all the other nations put together. It is :ue entirely to our initiative that there is now a growing supply of ieails from which to draw. TLrhe total numbe-r in the Alaskan herd is now estimated at 100,000, and Lt is believed that 100,000 will be Eidded this sunner, after which, un :er moderate regulation, there will be little danger of extinction, such as laced the fur-bearing seals only a few years ago.
