Repaid for Her Trouble.
Mrs. Lyle Perry of Flatroek township
Is a teacher In the schools ut Clifford,
northeast of Columbus. Last winter
she had a hen that "stole out her nest."
Tho hen finally selected a large pile of
anthracite coal and laid three eggs
there. Then she nursed the eggs for
the required length of time nnd three
chickens came out. Mrs, Perry did not
wish to lose tho chickens, and she could'
not leave them ut home when she went
to school! So she solved the problem
by taking them with her In the morn
ing and returning them nt evening un
til they were old enough to shift tor
themselves. The chickens were
hatched In January nnd now one of the
pullets has been enterprising enough to
hatch out o brood of 17 little chickens
to repay Mrs. Perry for her trouble,

spondent of the London Weekly Today,
speaking of Italy's resources, snlil : "If
tho Italian government should sell
gradually and wisely the contents ol
Its art galleries and museums so that
the old canvases may bo transformed
Into useful steel, swift and nvengliig;
If the Ufflzl and Plttl galleries wen
only valued at 1,000,000.000 francs.
Italy would be rich enough In n few
years to have the greatest fleet In the
world, the greatest mercantile marine,
an army four times Its present size and
would be able to abolish nil taxes for
at least twenty years. They may f"
that the tourists will no longer bring
ns their wealth. That Is not so, for we
would only sell our treasures gradual

tie excavated In tho subsoil of Tuscany.

JOURNEYING TO JERUSALEM.
LESSON TKXT-Ar-ti 20:lfi St.
OOI.DKN Ti:XT-l rnmmnnd you to Ooj
and to tlx word ot hl grave. Acts 20:31
After his exierlenc,ln Kpjinxun Paul
went to Coiinth, where, uiuldst much
sickness nnd nllllellnn. be cared for
the churi'lies, corrected their wrong
conduct and probably wrote several of
his letters and epistles (II Cor. 4:7-11;
11:28; 12:2d). From Corinth he Jour
neyed by way of Phillipl to Troas
where he preached his famous long
sermon (v. 5-12), that sermon which
bud such a tragic result. It Is recorded
as a witness to the power of the pray
er of faith and Paul's readiness to
serve In time of need. In his buste to
reach Jerusalem before the Day of
Pentecost (A. I). T.s) Paul did not re
turn to Kphesus, but. In order to save
time, he bud the elders of that church
meet him ut Miletus (See c good
uiiip).
1. A Great Review (vv. 17-28). Paul's
statesmanship and genius for organi
zation Is nowhere more clearly set
forth than here. He had plans for a
great evangelistic campaign of Latin
land. (Ch. 1!):21). Ilefore pursuing
bis plan be decided to visit Jerusalem,
currying with him the collections
which had been systematically taken
up in the various churches on this
tour (Iiom. 1,"):2C; I Cor. l(5:l-.r; Acts
21:17) nnd he was accompanied by a
considerable number of pilgrims. (See
v. 4.) It Is a good thing to pause occa
sionally and to tuke stock, to review
our lives and to see what progress we
have made. This Paul did, and to this
Kphesian delegation he enumerates (1)
Ms character among them (vv. 18-19).
They knew his maimer of life, how
that, as a bond servant, and "with ull
lowliness of mind," he bad nerved
their church. They also. knew that
with tears he had wept over their hard
nnd Impenitent hearts (v. 31) nnd nil
of this amidst many testings; (2) his
method of work (v. 20). Pnnl not
only worked at his trude of tentmak
Ing. but found time for the public
proclamation of the gospel nnd also
house to bouse visitation. IIo was
after men. not notoriety. He was al
ways and ever at It. amidst trials, self
denial nnd the "lying In wait," (Am. It.
V.) of men; (.1) his methods (v. 21).
He bad the same message for Jew nnd
(entile, "repentance townrd Ood and
faith townrd our Lord Jcsns Christ."
ltepciitntice Is not for Jews nlone. Paul
shrunk not from declaring all that was
profitable for their encouragement, re
proof, warning, help, training In serv
ice nnd hard study. He had taught
them publicly In classes, and had vis
ited them from bouse to house and had
Invited them to bis own home. Paul's
aim, os Is the teacher's aim, was to
make all people patriotic citizens of
the kingdom of heaven while on earth,
that they might fight the good fight of
faith ngalnst all evils, even the prin
cipalities nnd powers of evil, and build
up the heavenly character In all men
by overcoming 'evil with good; (4) his
prospects (vv. 22-21). Constrained In
spirit, under an obligation, though not
outwardly bound, Paul knew nnd felt
himself ns one bound by conscience
and duty to go on his way to Jerusalem
In order to curry out his plan of a
united, federated church of Jews and
(ieutlles.
He "counted not his life as dear unto
himself If so be be might hold out
until the end nnd accomplish his
course and ministry. This epoch-making
Journey, one of the greatest In his
tory, suggests In many points our
Savior's lust Journey towards that
same city (Luke P:,"il). Like bis mas
ter, Paul knew that ahead of blin were
trials, but he also knew that Cod was
leading him In obedience to the Spir
it's guidance, though It was over the
protests of his friends.
He was to have the unique experi
ence of visiting the land he so longed
nnd desired to visit Koine not nt
his own expense but ut the expense
of the empire, nnd in a manner which
gave him an entree Into the courts of
the emperor, also to testify to the
truth before governors nnd niters
along that Journey.
II. A Great Charge (vv. 28-3S). It Is
a great experience when one can de
clare himself pure from the blood of
all men (v. 20). and that he has pot
shrunk from declaring the whole coun
sel of !od. Such conduct always
brings nn obligation upon those who
know nnd hear such men, viz., that
It should be emulated. Those elders
were to return to the church nt Kphe
sus. not to be servants of themselves
but to feed the church of Cod (v. 28).
Paul knew, ns n prophet, whnt would
be In store for them (vv. 29-30). There
fore be exhorts them to watch, nnd
warns them how by his own hands be
had supported himself and had lived n
righteous life nmong them (v. 34). He
commend them (v. 31) "to Cod nnd to
the Word of his grace which Is able
to build them up and to give them an
Inheritance- among nil them which nro
sanctified" (John 17:17). It was not
stubbornness on Paul's part which led
him to go to Jerusalem. lie was
bound In the spirit, nnd Hint same
spirit which was lending him would
nlso remove the obstncles nnd abide .
with these elders ns they went back
to their ministry In Rphesus, nnd help
them to live lives of service nnd not
of covetousness (vv. 33-3-1). He had
shown them nil things needful, nnd ex
horts them In a marvelous' way (v, 8,r).
We have here rescued from oblivion
a new saying of our Lord Jesus
Christ, "It Is more blessed to give than
to receive," one not found in the gos
pels. It Is this giving which produces a
higher quality of happiness and a more
pchU character. . '
