Review, Goroex Texr.—Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature : old things are passed away; behold, all are become new,—2 Cor.-5: 17. The lessons of the three months now brought to an end have all had to do with Paul's third great missionary jour ney. From Corinth he had returned, by way of Ephesus, Cmsares and Jerusa- lem, to Antioch, which was the starting point of sll his tours; whence after a gains ; The eighth lesson wes Liberal Giving.

The crowning thought pre sented was the completeness of th, Christian's victory over death thus con summated, and that this victory is ours through our Lord Jesus Christ, The seventh lesson was The Uproar at Ephesus In this we returned to the Acts of the | Apostles, and the course of Paul's histo ry as narrated there, One result of his preaching at Ephesus had been to dimin ish the traffic in the silver shrines of the goddess Diana, and thus the gains of the craftsmen of the city, The oprosition thereby aroused culminated in jthe wildest uproar.
