Don't Hurry.
It Is quite possible to pick fruit be
fore It Is ripe. But It Is not the wis
est thing to do. Unripe fruit Is gen
erally poor stuff, and oftentimes dan
gerous, too. Nature's va Is after all
the best way. In the long run. It Is
found wisest to wult until she has tin
lshcd her work.
There ore not n few young people
wIki think they can pluck the fruit
from life's fair tree before It ha had
time rightly to ripen. They see no use
In apprenticeships, or college courses,
or long periods of sfudy for profession
al caieers. They mean to make a suc
cess at once. The old ways are too
stow. But somehow toey generally find
nfter n while that they have only a
lot of unripe fruit on their hands.
which brings a poor price In life's mar
ket. Pon't hurry, young people. "Learn
to labor and to wait." Selected.

No study of the book of Arts Is
complete unless the teacher Impresses
upon bis pupils the opportunities foi
living the Christian life In the normal
environment of the home or school,
at work or play. Peep Interest at
taches to every detail lending up to
raid's visit to ItoniP. Therefore let
the teacher trace I'mil's Journey from
Mlletn to Jerusalem, which occupied
about four weeks, and took place la
the enrly (tart of the year A. I. f7.
1. The Arrival (vv 17 fi). The Spirit
revealed to the disciples and to proph
ets that If I'aul went to this city he
would be In great danger, and the
Spirit was not forbidding but only
teaching him for he knew I'aul bad
a great work to do In Jerusalem, and
that be only could do It. Everywhere)
I'aul (rent he "searched for" (v. 7)
disciples, with whom he tarried and
whom he enlightened In the way of
truth. Arriving In Jerusalem, he nn
oears to have made his home with
Mnason. outside of the crowded city,
thus being less exposed to danger and
finding n plnce of rest. At fl public
reception (v. IS) I'nul reports of his
work, and no doubt he laid his strong
est emphasis on what !d had
wrought through him. among the
churches of Asia. TIip lenders of the
Jerusalem church received the gifts
I'aul brought from the C.entfle
churches, glorified fiod for what he
had Accomplished, but saw clearly
that, to nceomnMsh his statesmanlike
purpose, something must be done to
make clear that the false retitl as
to Fatil's teaching were discredited
(vv. "0"2). They thorefore resorted
to diplomacy (vv. It-'.'fi). To the
'nany thousands of Jews gathered on
this festival occasion In the city,
some of whom were fenlous for the
law. they declared first that rani
taught all the Jews which were among
the flentlles not to forsake Moses;
second, that he had not taught them
not to walk after the customs of
Moses. The facts were Paul nheyed
the Jewish ceremonial laws person
ally, ns n matter of rnce. not s a
condition of salvation. lie tinghf
that lh. flenllles need not h.-come
.tews nor obey the Jewish ritual, and
'hat the law was not necessary f'T
alvatlon for either Jew or Centlle.
He tpnglit also that the promises of
the Jews were to he fulfilled In both
lew and (lentlle who hy faith nrrtime
a true child of Abraham and heir to
he promise. This made ChrisMnnlty
a universal religion. (See I Cor. t :20),
21).
II. The Arrest (rv. C'-M). Pa til's
attempt nt conciliation resulted not
In ieace but In more discord. Every
true servant of Cm Is sure to be mis
represented, and It will not do always
1 1 attempt to set straight oil the lies
that are told about him. Cod D
take care of the lies nnd of on.- repu
trtlons. Most of the charges thnf
men. even Christians, bring nealnst
one nnother are based upon "sup
twnltlon" (v. CO). It was not a new
experience for Paul to he mobbed. A
the mnddened Jews dragged him nut
of the temple he must have recalled
he treatment of Stephen In which he,
hlmrclf had had n hand (7:.'.7. HS).
Mow frequent It Is that we. ourselves.
are In due time treated In the same
wny In which we have treated others
f On!. 0:7). It was the Intention of
the Jews to kill Paul at once without
n trial (20 :fl. lit). They fancied thejr
were doing Cod's service (John 1d:2).
This lesson Is n striking example of
the utter folly and wickedness of moh
law. Paul's time had not yet come,
and nil the mohs on earth rould not
kill him until Clod permitted It; hl4
deliverance came hv the hinds of on
unscrupulous heathen (2.1:27).
"I. The Arraignment (vv. S7-I0).
Tldlnes of the riot came to the chief
captain, equivalent to on." colonel
(Acts 21:20). Paul wns bound with
two chnlns. one from each of his arms
to n soldier, secured, yet left free to
walk with bis guards, thus fulfilling
the prophecy of Agahus (v. 21). Mobs
usually have great respect for soN
dlers, for they nre Inwardly cowardly.
No sooner was Paul on the stairs
which led to the top of the fortress
than the moh. afraid that they were
nhent to be balked of their vengeance,
made a mnd rush nt him, with cries
of "Kill him: kill him!" and rani.,
unable In his fettered condition to
steady himself, wns carried off his
feet nnd hurried off In the snme path
bis Master had trod (John 10:1.1)
nnd lie wns nealn to hear that cry.
(Ch. 22:22). During all this tumult
Pan! had but one thought, how he
might witness for his Master, nnd
bring some of his blinded accusers to
n saving knowledge of Christ. Thus
It wn : that he asked for the privilege
nf speaking, and most courteously did
he make his request. . lie spoke to
fe captain In the Creek tongue, not
In Hebrew, nnd great was the surnrlo
of the cnptnln. The snnrle prohatdy
wl caused hy thp fact that he thought
he bad nn Ignorant brigand, nnd nof
that he had n eul'ured. scholarly He-'
brew and Bomnr. citizen as a prison
er. A short time before this, a eer
tnln Egyptian had gathered n large
body of discontented Jews on Mount
Olivet, whom he had deluded Into the
belief that he wns the Messiah, nnd
t- whom he had declared that nt his
word the walls of Jerusalem would
fnll down. Paul told the captain who
he was. nnd asked permission to
speak to these rioters, hoping to qntet
them with the simple fnrts of his llfi
and Lis petition wos granted.
