I. Ths Shipwreck on Melita (▼▼.
MO}.
Through the storm they lost their
bearings, and when they were safe on
land they learned that the Island was
called Melita. Their experiences here
may be noted as follows:
1. The Hospitable Reception of the
Natives (v. 2).
They built a Are and made the ship
wrecked people as comfortable ns poe-
■Ible In the cold and rain.
2. Paul Gathering Sticks for a Fire
(t. 8).
The world’s greatest preacher and
missionary, yet he was not above
picking up sticks for a Are. All along
the Journey Paul busied himself In
4olng all that he could to help some
one* Any service rendered In the
right spirit is holy work.
3. Paul Bitten by a Venomous Ser
pent (v. 3).
Among the sticks that Paul gathered
was a serpent. Perhaps It had al
ready colled Itaelf up for Its winter’s
sleep, but aroused by the wsrmtb of
the fire, It darted at Paul and fixed
Its fangs upon his baud. This was s
serious thing. The natives expected to
sss him fall down dead, yet he shook
It off, unharmed. At first the natives
concluded that he was an escaped
murderer, and that retributive Justice
was being meted out to him. When
-they saw he was unharmed they con
cluded that he was a god. In the pop
ular mind a man soon passes from a
murderer to a god, or more frequently
the reverse Is true.
4. Paul Heals Publius’ Father (vv.
T-10).
These people now received some re
turn for their kindness. When this
man of note was heeled, others Came
end were healed also.
II. Paul's Arrival At Rome (vv.
11-16).
When Paul reached Rome Christ’*
charge to the disciples was fulfilled.
After three month’s stay at Melita Paul
departed for Rome In the ship of Alex
andria, whose slgu was Castor and
tVdlux. At Ryraetise they were de
layed three days, perhaps for favor
able wlnda. At Puteoll he fonnd
brethren at whose request he tarried
eeven days, after which lie again set
hts face towanls Rome. At Appll
forum and at Three Tavern brethren
from Rome met him. From Puteoll
the news went before of Paul's com
ing, and so Interested were Ihe breth
ren that-ihey came for more than forty
miles to meet him. This greatly en
couraged him and he gave God thanks.
He greatly craved the fellowship of
other Christians and was much helped
thereby. This was the first city In all
hla missionary life that thus welcomed
him. It was typical of the welcome
that was given to the gospel by the
Gentile world. He.was treated with
•seat leniency at Rome for he was
allowed to hire a house and live apart,
except that hie guard was constantly
with him. Fteing chained to a soldier
was rather Irksome, yet it gave him a
chance to preach to the soldiers, which
he could not have had In nny other
way. , . •
III. Paul’s Ministry In Rome (vt.
17*31).
1. His Conference With the Lending
Jews (w. 17-22).
He did not ns usual, wait for the
Rnbbath day to speak to the Jews. He
allow’ed only one day for rest, his ob
ject being to have a fair understand
ing with them. When they came he
endeavored to conciliate them. He
told them that though he came as a
prisoner, he was not a criminal. Though
bis own countrymen had sought his
life he did not come with accusations
against them. The result of this in
terview was that the Jews cautiously
took neutral ground,expressed a
desire to hear what'^Paul could say
In defense of a sect which was every
where spoken against.
2. Paul Expounding the Kingdom of
God and Persuading Concerning Jesus
(tv. 28-31).
He pointed out a real kingdom—
the Messianic kingdom with the his
toric Jesus as tho king. The kingdom
to Paul meant a definite reign of a def
inite person, not simply an improved
state-bf society. This he showed from
the. Scriptures.

Mrs. Hitt Entertains
With Beautiful Party
Elko, Dec. 5!—It is always a cause
of rejoicing to receive an invitation
to “White’s Folly,^ and Thursday
afternoon, December 3, was no ex
ception for thos* so fortunate as to
enjoy Mrs. Hitt’s generous hospitality
Mrs. G. W. Whitaker, the regent,
presided, and as quickly as possible
dispatched the regular routine, and
alt neccessary business, so that the
report of the delegates to the Sate
Convention at Dillon, Mrs.Smith’s fine
paper, and many pleasures Mrs. Hitt
had prepared for her guests, might
be enjoyed.
Mrs. G. C. Matthews and Mrs. L. M.
Mims were both present at Dillon
from Martha Watson Chapter, and
hlrs. Matthews gave a very graphic
account in detail of all important mat
ters before the convention; and there
were a number of special interest;
particularly that of the proposed in
crease of dues by all chapters suffi
cient to cover all obligatory assess
ments. Mrs. Matthews omitted no
important features, her report was an
epitome of the essential discusions.

Mrs.Newsom had turned over the
chairmanship of the entertainment
committee to the hostess, Mrs. Hitt,
who introduced Mrs. Finch, Miss Fin
ch and Miss Bates, who graciously
sang the sweet old Christmas song
“Holy N|ght.', Silent 'Night” very
beautifully.
Mrs. J. Lewis Smith read a finely
orepared paper on "South Carolina
Writers of the Present,” it.was not
only interesting but also surprising
to know the literary wealth of our
state.
The hostess, assisted by her nieces
and others, served a delicious course
of chkken salad, sandwiches, olives,
crackers and old fashioned fruit cake,
hot coffee, with.whipped creamT
t Mrs. Hitt then distributed number
ed tickets, and asked her guests to
play the game of follow my leader-

thrown open disdoeed a brilliant
Christmas tree, loaded with presents
and ornaments, that towered to the
ceiling; the presents each had a witty
limerick composed by Mrs. Hitt, and
were distributed to corresponding
numbers. The limericks were read

and surprise. One of our teachers

Hilda School Plans
Christmas Program
Hilda, Dec. 7.—The Thanksgiving
program of the Hilda school was a
great success, according to reports
from all who heard it. The main
prografin was put on in the church
near by, but the boxes were sold in
the school house and owing to its
crowded condition and the- inclement
weather, the proceeds were smaller
than expected. However, everybody
seemed to have a good tifiie and that
was the main purpose df the event
anyway.
A program is now being arranged
for Christmas and the exercises
probably be held in the church Fri
day night, December 18th. The spec
ial feature of the entertainment will
be a play, “Christmas Eve^* staged
by 15 pupik. There will also be one
or two dialogues, a number of recita
tions and Christmas songs. Admis
sion will be free, kit there will be an
orphanage box for the Connie Max
well Orphanage and one for the Fp-
worth Orphanage, and everybody will
be expected to contribute something
to one of these instituions. An in
vitation has been mailed to Santa
CUus and he is expected to be pres
ent. ... - - '
