1 au. mer an-l six men rrom joppa(cnnptc

lius, the Roman centurion in Cn'arvn. Cor-
ntdius was a just and Ood fearing man, much
given to prayer and good deeds and beloved
by all the Jews of the city (verses 1, 2, 2-M,

God saw his earnest desire, and In tho way
here recorded brought Siuiou Peter to biiu
as lie had before brought l'liilip to tho
eunuch. Cornelius, with bis kinsmen and
friends, welcomed Himon l'eter and tho
brethren, nnd Peter, having explained why
he, a Jew. 1ml come to uncircumcised
geutllcs, asks for what intent they had scut
for bim, nud Cornelias here begins his More.
31. "A man iu bright clothing" is his
description of the angel who enrno to see

supulcher whs like lightning, nnd his rai
ment whitens snow Math, sxvlil., S). Some
day, we too, shall shino as the sun (Math.
xiii., 43). ine angels message was, "iny
prayer is beard and thine alms nro had iu
remembrar.ee io (lie sight of God."
82. Heaven is Interested in Simon Peter
also and knows just whore to 11 ml him ami
how to make him willing to take this jour
ney and do thiswotk. Consider the "nil
things working together" in tills record the
hungry man, the delayed dinner, the trance,
Ihe vision, the visitors, and everything Just
at the right timx. De not afraid' to believe
:bat heaven Is interested in you. and have
fudli iu Ood.
S3, immediately the centurion sent fo
Joppa. l'eter lild well to come, and now
they are rendy to hear the mes-ugH from the
(rod of heaven. They were nssomhled before
liod to bear tne message from God through
l'eter. They wanted none of l'oter'stliouirhn
or wisdom or eloquence, but only what God
had commanded him to speak. Tho Kord
Jesus Himself only fpoko what tho Father
commanded Hl-n (John xiu 411), and ever
messenger of the Lord may take ull possible
comfort from F.v. iv., 12; Jcr. I., ti '., etc.
81. "Of a truth 1 pen-eive that God Is no
respecter of persons." Tims Peter began his
message. God took great pains to teneh hbn
this (verses 11-ltt), and he never fnrcot it,
but long afterward referred to It In I Pet. i,
17. See also Paul's reference to the same iu
Horn, ii, 11. If nocess.iry, God will give a
vision or send au angel to instruct us. but
blessed are the simple and teachnlilo who,
like Mary, sit nt Jcus' fuel and bear ilis
word (Luke x, 3'.l).
33. "Hut in every nation he that fearnth
IJim an 1 worketh righteousness is accepted
with Him." Tills does not coullict with
ch ipitur iv, 12, and the gr"nt truth that there
Is none other Saviour besides Jesus Christ,
but wherever nny one, Jew or gentile, earn
estly seeks nttnr God, lie will regard them
and so reveal Himself to them thut they may
be saved. To conclude from this ver that
if we do tho best we fcuow how wo aro s;ifn
would bo it perversion of Scripture, for by
the deeds of the law (and the law is holy)
no Hush cm be jnstillcd (Horn. ill. 20-1 .
ilii. "Preaching peace by Jesus Christ."
Made nigh by the. blnod of Christ, for lie is
our pence, having mado peace through the
blood of His cross. The work of righteous,
ness shall bo peace, uud the elfect of right
eousness, qiietiies.s and assurance forever.
Therefore, being justllleil by faith, we have
pence with God throui.-h our Lord Jesiu
Christ (F.ph. ii, 11. 11; Col. i. 20; 1-a. XKil,
17; Horn, v, 1). That which every soul needs
is peace, peace with God, and it cannot bo
found apart from J"us Christ.
37. "That wor.l, I say, ye know which wn
published thiougliout ail Juiliei." They had
beard of Jesus, they knew something of the
wav, but they needed clearer light. They
evidently knew something of tho deeds ol
the law, of prayer, of almsgivlug, of the one
liviug nnd true God nud the rlghluou.-uess
which Ho required, but tlb'V knew not thn
way to get it. They were ignorant of God's
righteousness (Horn, x, 3).
3H. Josus of Nazareth was righteous and
did righteousness. Ho was God manifest in
the flesh and set fori li before men perfectly
the rightuoiisness which Go i required ol
man. Ho never pleased Himself nor lived
unto Himself; but, being filled with tin)
Spirit, went about sluwing men by word
nnd deed the love nud goodness of God.
Ut revealed God to nieu; Ho glorified
God.
8.1. Peter was with Him during all His
public, life and saw His nets and heard Ifis
words nnd as an eyewitness could testify
that Ho was what lie profes; u.l to be, tic
Sou ot God, the Messiah or Israel, Hn
Saviour of sinners. Ho saw U rn cleanse
the leper, heal tho .sick, raise llm dead nud
send the penitent siiineraway with th" as
surance of nil sins forgiven. He also s;iw
Hlmcrncille I ou Calvary.
40. 'Itlm God raised up Ihe third lay and
shewed Him openly." All Scripture con
cerning Ills life nnd death and resurrection
bud been fullllledi and yiat lo the very
letter, nnd, as Ho in His lifetime had re
peatedly foretold, IIo rose from the dead on
tho third day, taking nut of tho tomb the
verysiimo body that was put in tho tomb,
having tho unmistakable evidences of the
nails through His hands mid feet and the
spear thrust into Ilis side,
41. "Not to nil tho people, but uttlo wit
nesses chosen before of God." Unbelievers
have not seen Jesus since He was crucified,
but ns mnny as 5"0 of the disciples saw Hliu
nt ouco after His resurrection (I Cor. xv., fl),
nnd He appeared not less than ten different
times, nnd Ho nctunlly ale Willi them, as
l'eter says (Luke xxlv., 41).
43. "It Is Ho which was ordained of God
to be the Judge of quick nnd dcmi." Ho will
judge Ills redeemed at ills own judgment
seat (Horn, xiv., 10; 11 Cor. v., 10). lie and
His redeemed will judge the uutions when
He Bhnll come in glory, bringing His saints
with Him (Math, xxv., 31,32; I Cor. vl., 2;
Col. ill., 4), nnd then ut the end of the thou
sand years, at the great white throne, He
will judge tho ungodly who took no part iu
Ihe first resurrection.
43. "To Him givo ul! the prophets witness
that through His name whoever telluveth in
Hiin shall receive remission ol sins." See
Ian. 1., IS; xliii.,25; xlv., 22; Jer. iii., II;
.xxxl.,84; Mic. vii., 19; Vs. xxxil.. 1, 2; eiii..
12, as some of the places where the prophets
testify that through Ulm is the forgiveness
of sins as a free gift without auy works or
merit on our part.
44. "While l'eter yet spake theso words
the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard
the word." - And thuson unclrcumoised geu
tllcs Ood wrought as He bud done at Pente

To make them firm and pliable.

They win the tight for fighting iu-u.
When God's ocasioi call for m-n,
His chosen souls he takes.
In life's hot tire he tempers them,

With many a henvv, grievous stroke
He boats them to an edge.
And Wis nnd tries ugnin, again.

It is difficult sometimes to sen the bright
side of sorrow, sickness and death. And yet
there is distinctly a bright side. No sor
row comes to us without n reason. Wo
never kuow our friends until sorrow or ill
ness come lo us. We never know what
loving kindness aud thoughtfiilness mean,
until we stand iu need of them, nud our
hearts seem to bent against the walls of a
cold, merciless world. We leuru something
from every grief ami from each pain which
comes to us ...That is why sorrow and
trials are given us : not to give pain,
but to develop us, to better equip
us for something unknown which lies
in the future, and which w could not
meet nor understand unless we had first
gone through certain experiein-Ms. We are
far too apt to regard actual blessings as
calamities, to look upon the dark side ot
things. Some sorrow comes to us and we
rebel. It never occurs to us that, perhaps,
wo need th" experience which narrow alone
can give. Illness conies and we fret. Put
we cannot always !" well. Ailments are
very often given to us to make our apprecia
tion of good health the keener. . . . liod

irms always such ns wo would like to
choose. Lessons can be more otTeeUvcly
taught ill iiiuiiincrulile . nsi-sj through sor
row than through pleasure. We should
never know what a pure, rx-autifui color
white is If we did not have blnck to bring
out the contrast. We want only pl"U.-uro
iu our lives. When sorrow comes h rebel,
nnd refuse to recognize it for what it so
often is - a blcs-ing In disguise. We cannot

Jesus did not create gonilnr--- her fair

Jesus, goodness was sterile; since Jesus,
goodness lias blossomed; lie fertilized It

but He did what lie said nnd made others, lo

What nu immense lot of over loaded pco-
fde there are in this worlil ! We can see it
n theiri-areworn faces ; and each one thjnk.s
his burden is the heaviest. There Is ii cer
tain kind of cure that is wise: a mini who
has no forethought lor the future is a slug
gard or a fool. The apostle had no refer
ence to 11 wise tlioughtfiilliess for the fu
ture wh"n he said, "Cast all your earn
upon Him, for He careth for vol.'' That
minli-pcrverted verse is accurately trans
lated in the revised version, "casting all yout
anxiety on Him because He careth for you."
Now just w hat our almighty nnd all-loving
Father offers Is to help us carry our loads.
Ho who watched over tin- infant deliverer o
Isriod in his cradle of rushes, who sent ills
ravens to feed i'.lljuh by the brookside, who
protected Daniel iu the dcu, and kept Paul
culm and cheerful in the hurricane, is tin
very One who says to us liollyour niixleties
over on Me, for i have you on My hoarf, I

For a few weeks let tho-e obtrusive worlil
linessi H which block the doors of our heart's
Hand buck, and let the way be clear that he
who longs to enter In and help us iniiv come
nnd meet no obstacle. This Is our Lenten
task. "If any man will hear my vob-o nud
open unto me 1 will com-' in and sup with
lilm," says Jesus. To still the tumult and
clatter n little, so that we may hear his
voice and to open the door by prayer- that
is the privilege and duty of these coming
weeks. May God be w ith us during this
Lent! May wo be with God: May there
be much of the fa --ling which our Father
loves, much penlt-iiee for sin and much
opening of long-shut doors to Christ '. Phil

Dr. James R. Nichols says: "Hum or al
cohol as an embrocation was formerly re
garded as of tho highest efficiency; but it is
now kuown that hot or cold water is a much
better application for Inflamed surfaces.
The external use of alcohol upon the human
body under any conditions of disease Is prac
tically useless. It may serve to cool inflamed
parts by rapid evaporation, but warm water
meets the same end, and more effectively.
Alcohol In the form of gin, brandy, whiskv
or wlues may be banished from families as a
domestio remedy without risk to the welfaro
of a sin gl 3 member, of any age, sex or con
dition." fau iMAitirr not toxrKJirr.

If has frequently happened that
miners havo discovered curious truces
of former workings, hundreds of yenrs
ago, and foals havo boon found which
belonged to the ancient miners, and
luauy other relics.
A singular discovery w:is made, a
few years siuce, by some workmen on
gagod in tho Spauish silver mino
known ns the Whito J'ebblo l'it.
While digging their subterranean pas
sages they suddenly found a wrics of
apartments, in which were i mint ity
of mining tools, loft there from u very
remote period, but htill in such good
preservation that there wero hatchets,
nud sieves for siftiug tho ore, a smelt

proved tho earliest miners hud grcul
experienco iu their operations.
In one of the caverns there wns a
round building, with niches, in which
wore three statues, one sitting down,
nud half tho hi::o nf life; tho other
two were iu a standing position, uud
ubout throo feet in height. This
building in supposed to hnvo been tha
templo of tho god who was believed,
iti pii,'nn times, to preside over mines.
Several objects of art, and; Homo ru
markablo instruments, were) also
found, which huvo led Fficutilio per

havo been mado by tliu 1'hieiiieiaiiF,

were, iu tho time of Solomon, famous

In 1854 a discovery was made by

large Hat slabs of rock. Littlo atten
