No Complaints. P.iit tho seasoned old warrior I did not look at It in dint lii-ht. ho cnllstLMl in t'ao service of Prime of Peace, lie calmly counted the cost. He enrolled himself in :.o 11 nn y of tho I,ord with his eyea v' 1 open. Ho knew perfectly well v. !: it he was doitiK and what it meant, lie expected to Hiiffer aflliction and en iluro hanlncsH as n pood soldier oj Jesus Christ. Ho fully realized what ho was colni; up atainst for ho come from the ranks of tlio eii'-iy himself, and ho had the blood of bi gotry In his own veins. Ho never an ticipated ease nnd n comfortable posi tion; the moment ho laid down the weapons of his rebellion nnd was ac cepted ns n raw recruit for tho shirt f lip had persecuted ho knew that t'.io battle was on. And he knew also that that was an Irrepressible conflict, 11 life-long wnrfnre, and could only end In one way. Hence, he never mur mured at the long marches, tho we iry slopes, the hand to hand conflicts, tho bonds and Imprisonments, the sacri fices, the garments rolled in blood. Knighted on the Field. Anil after all, what more appropri ate thing than for a soldier to die upon the field of honor. Paul fell, as a brave soldier should, In the thick of the fight, with his face to the fi e. And he was content. When Christ upon the cross knew that His hour had come, He bowed His head and said, "It is finished!" And when, tho greatest of His apostles, years after wards, In far off Home, under the very shawod of caesar's palace was lead out to execution, he, too, knew that hl had accomplished his mission, iui:l uttered his dylnr; testimony, "I have fought a good riKht, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." There was not n tremor In his voi , there was not a pang In his heart, there was not a fear In his soul. Ho knew that he was only about to be knighted upon the field of battle. Fearles3 Soldier. Yes, Paul had been a lighter. Ho . had not been much of a dress para b? soldier, but ns Phil Sheridan said, ho had found "lovely lighting all alon,' the line." His conversion at Dair.a.; cus was a bombshell dropped right in tho heart of the camp, his several ap pearances in Jerusalem always turne 1 the city upside down. Ho had Ifca compelled to lick his own soldiers Into shape at the first council of the church, again and again he had cut loose from his base of supplies) and like Slier man hewed a path for himself clear through to the sea, foraging on tho enemy on the way. Men misunder stood him, criticised him, nlway i got liim into trouble when they attempted to improve on his plans, but they were compelled to admit that he was a peerless soldier. He knew not what fear was. He faced kings as calmly as he did howling mobs. And he was never defeated. When he entered a flty, no matter what the opposition, be held his ground long enough to overthrow the powers of darkness. As he moved on his conquering way he established forts of righteousness all over Asia and Europe from Antl och to Rome. What are Antloch and Laodlcea, and Philadelphia, and Sar dls, and Thyatlra, and Pergamos, and Surna, and Ephesus the seven churches of Asia spoken of In Revela tiontogether with Corinth and Thes salonlca and Phillppl, and Colosse, and Rome, but a matchless line of forts, garrisoned, armed and provisioned, to hold the ground where many of his greatest campaigns were waged and mightiest victories won. Conquerer Always. Oh, Paul's life was not a failure. lit ws Immortal till his work was done. He was a greater soldier than Alexan der or Caesar, for while they are de id nnd turned to dust, and the mighty empires they established have fallen and crumbled Into dust, until not a race remains, the kingdom Piv.l was nBtrumental In Introducing has over turned all others and Is more w ide spread and powerful this minute than It was when Paul cried out "I have 'ought a good fight, I have finished my course." and went In to the presence ot his Lord to lay a conquered world t bis feet. 1 1 X I I Q fc LADIES' EMPIRE SKIRT.
