I sympathize with the work being done In

Though the meridian of life has passed

There are victories yet for you to gain. Hut

Qoldsa Text: John tU 13
Commentary. 1. And It came to pass that while Apollea
was nt Corinth Paul, having passed through
the upper coats. came to Kpheetis." From
Corinth, where we left Taul In the last les
son, he returned to Ant loch In Syria, taking
with him Prised Ha and Aqulla as far as Kphe.
us. where he left them, promising to return,
the Lord willing (! 21). After some ttm
nt Ant loch he started nn hi thirl tour, and
passing through Oalatia and Phrygla,
strngthenlng the rilseps, came In due
time to F.phesus. This A polios of Alexan
dria, eloquent and mighty In Scripture, had
meantime pisd through Kphesus and had
leen greatly helped nnd enlightened by
Aqulla and Prlscilla. How wonderfully the
Lord provides teachers lor those who are
seeking to know Him ' Consider the case
of Cornelius and the man of Kthiopln.
2. "And llnding certain disciples he said
unto them, Have ye received the Holy
Ohost since ve liellevod? And they said
unto Him, We have not so much as heard
whether there lie any Holy Ohost." There
nr many like these to-day who have heard
of the love ot Ood and of Jesus as a Savior
from the wrath to come, and they have re
eelved Him and nre children of Ood (John I.,
1J1, and therefore have the Holy Ohost In
thm as believers 1 1 Cor. vl., 1 : ail., 7). but
yet know little or nothing about thn Holy
Spirit and never have received Him as f heir
power for life and eervW. Compare John
xlv., 17. with Luke xxlv., i
II. "And He said unto them, I'pto what,
then, were ye Imptlxed? And they wild,
t'uto John's baptism." This was as far as
Apollos had taught them 1 1 s-'J.'i I nnd would
include repentance, remission of sin and
fruits meet for reHuta!ice and should have
Included an rxpe.-tatlon of n Imptlsm of tli
Holy Ohost ( I. uke til., H. H. lrtl. It certainly
meiint salvation, but not necessarily speclul
power for service.
t. "Then. nld Paul, John verily baptized
with the baptism of repentance, saying unto
the people that they should believe n llliri
n hich should come after Him -that Is, or.
Christ Jesus." It was John's delight to cry.
Behold the Lamb of Ood !" nnd to point nil
to Him whose wnv he came to prepare (John
I. IV 27. 2'.. II i. ill.. 2H.:li): Math. III.. 11.)
people are apt to follow the human leader,
a did the ( iirlnthiaiis ( 1 f or. III., 4 ) nnd too
often the human lender loves to have II so.
But such is not the spirit of Christ, for even
lie did not Ills own will nor sought Ills own
glorv, but ever sought the glory of the I'nthei
(.to'ili vl.. 2-i i vltl.. 2!. Ml : xvii.. 4.)
fi. When they heard this, they were bap
tl"d in the mime of the Lord Jcus." They
hil l received the truth which they hud heard
and were living up to the light which they
had r.felved, -in. I therefor.' were ready for
more light. Now. when additional truth I-
brought to them they rea lilyr ive It nnd
turn heartily to Him of whom Julio was the
forerunner.
. "And when Paul had lul I Ins hands up
on them the Holy lihost came oh them, nnd
they spake with tongues nnd prophesied."
Being baptl.ed lu the name of the Lord
,le,ns did not tiei-essirllv bring the gift of
the Holy Spirit I Acts vili. Hii. Tlmt m nt
to have tiecii given in an -"wer to special prayer
an I laying on of bauds t A -ts vlll., I .". 1 7 ,
though in the case of Cornelius and his com
pany the gift of th" .Spirit Was bestowed
while Peter was speaking ( Acts x., 44 Hi),
hu I it was after tluit they were tiitizcd. There
seems to be no st wav of receiving Christ or
of being tilled with 'the Spirit. The great
thing ts to receive Him the best way you
know how, then trust Him to llll you with
His Spirit as He pleases. Ouly "lie filled"
t.Eph. v., 18).
7. "And all the men were aliout twelve"
as many na those whom Jesus ctwwe and
called unto Himself (Mark 111.. 1.1-18) t a
many as the sous of Jacob, the tribes ol
Israel i as many as the gates of the New
Jerusalem and the foundations of the same
( ltev. xxl., 12. 14). It Is the heavenly and
earthly perfect niunliers and 4 multiplied.
The full signillcunee we will see some day.
H. "And lie went Into the synagogue and
spake boldly for the spucc of three months,
disputing and persuading the things con
cerning tlu kingdom of Ood." He made no
upologiee for the truth, but believing all
things written by Moses lie spake IhiIiIIv lu
the power of the Spirit I Acts xxlv., 11 lv.,
X. Disputing means reasoning out of tint
Scripture, a In chapter xvli., 2. while per.
Minding indicates ten leriind loving entreaty.
Thus be patieutlv and prayerfully opened io
them the word of (iod concerning Jesus nr
the Christ.
!l. 1 tilt when tllvers were Imp. I, inn. I An. I
believed not, but spake evil of that way I'".
fore the multitude, he departed iroin then
anu separaic.i tiie .ns -ipies, iimputliig daily
lu the school of oueTyrauniis." When truth
Is rejected, the heart iiecomes hardened, and
when once the heart is turned away from the
ouly light In this dark world the only pros
poet is the outer darkness where light never
conies. Vet Jesus has taught us that only a
portiou o( the seed will fall on good ground,
and that tares will grow uaiong the wheat
u.itil the harvest.
10. "And this continued by the space of
two yean,, so that all they which dwelt in
Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both
Jew and Oreeks." The province of Asia, in
Which Were the seven ehur -lies of Id Velntloll,
is distinguished Irom the other province ol
Asia Minor in chapter xvi., ti. In this section
of the country he teitllles that for three years
he censed aot to warn every one night and
lav with tears, leaching publicly nnd from
house to house, k eping back nothing, and
11 the while with Ins own bauds ministering
to the necessities of hl'iU'-lf and those who
were with hi. n (chapter xi., ill, 20. HI). Thus
earning hi own living he would have nooc
.'iision to fear losing u portiou of his salary
If the truth he preached should happen to
bit some of his hearer rather severely.
11. "And Ood wrought special miracles bv
the hands of Paul." Whether It lie a mlr
cl of healing of the soul or of the body,
"It Is Ood who worketli" l'hil. II., 1:1).
Whether it lie wisdom or knowledge or faith
or gills of healing or miracles. It is all the
work of the one self same Spirit dividing to
every mini severally as lie will ( I Cor. xil.,
7-11). Wo will know His power more when
lU'tead of seeking lllm to use Him for Ood
we allow Hun to take us nnd use us us He
pleases.
12. "So that from his body were brought
into the sick handkerchief or nprons. and
Hie dlMiiase departed from thnm, nnd the
evil spirits went out of them." There must
have heen Home good reason for tlnste spe
cial manifestations of the power of Ood lu
this unusual way some special form of un

That alcohol makes' for the brain, when
taken Into the system, bus leen proved on
the sire -vgest possible testimony. Iir. Kirk
tolls us that on one occasion he dissected a
man who died In a flute of Intoxication. "In
two chvltles of the bruin was found the usual
quantity of limpid tluld. When he smelled It
the odor of whisky was distinctly perceptible,
and when lie applied the caudle to a portion
In a spoon It actually burned blue the
lambent blue flame, characteristic of poison,
playing on the surface of the spoon for some
seconds." We have similar experience re
lated by Pr. Ogston, of Aberdeen, In the case
of a women, who, it was believed, had
drowned herself n A Kt,le of Intoxication.
'We discovered nearly four ounces of lluld
In the lulenil brain cavities, having all the
physical properties of alcohol."
Pr. John Percy found that by distilling
the blood taken Irom tho system of one in
toxiontod ho could reproduce a percentage,
of alcohol) and. by submltOn. the brain to
the same prors. Hint the pet ntage was
much higher t from which ho concluded that
"a kind of nfllnity existsbetwei ti nl -..hoi and
tho cerebral (or btain) matter." The last
experiment on this point I shall relate is that
of Dr. t'brg, who held a post rtci.i xam.
inntlon on the body of John Onrb-r, a oung
athletic man, who ilranl; a pint of pirn id
one effort. "The iiioiiih. stomach, cardiac
cavities and lungs preeme, no iippreciable
trace of the rum. I'veii on opening the
cranium we found tiothlii ' to warrant a -up-position
of Its presence. m making, bow
over, a section into the lateral I. i on cavities,
the rum flowed out in cinid. ruble .n inti

That Ood does lead His people Is. a tnith
which Is abundantly established by the Illbls
nd oonflrmcd by lhecxMiricnceof thousnndf
of Ood' people In all ages of the world. But
there are mysteries connected with Ood'l
leadings of Ills people, in many Instances,
which are too profound for them to unravel,
and especially during thetlmo that the)
are being led. Sometimes the mystery loo
referenisi' to the path in, w hb h the believer u
led. The paths are si different from wha
one would uatiirallvchocs". They are direct
ly contrary to what hiimnii sagacity and pru
ilctieo would ebvt to walk In. They np-art
lie l)'set with dllUciiltles that am I'litlnd;
uivvlless to encoii titer, Thev invite to dan

structlve ways. They are so nidi 'ally iit S

and even of duty, that wean- strongly temptis
at times to rols'i against preceding. We ar

We Iiiiui found no difllculiy in a pt

we prefer to belle c it. There is comfort V
the thought that the great Ood over oi
doe lead us; but then when we llnd oui

Is repugunut to our tasn s, disappointing I
our hopes, bringing most l'itt.r evperiene
