He did not specify what the calamity would be, but he named the date within 24 hours on which something important would happen. In the Herald of Sunday, February 2 last, appeared the following: Rudolf Falb, an eminent European weather prophet, says there will be sev- eral critical dates during 1902. These he divides into three classes, according to importance. : Those of most importance are January 24, February 22, March 10, April 8, May 7, June 6, July 5, August 3, September 2, October 17, November 15 and December 15. Those of secondary importance are January 9, February 8 March 24, April 22. August 19 and October 31. Those of least importance areMay 22, June 21, July 20, November 30 and De- cember 20. It will be seen that May 7 is in the list of dates of those of the most importance. The earthquake took place on May 8, therefore, Professor Falb was a day ahead of time. f That Sugar Controversy. The federai supreme court refuses to be mixed up in the Michigan sugar hounty controversy. In 1897 the state legislature authorized the payment of 1 cent a pound on beet sugar. There were provisions designed to secure to the far- mer a portion of this bounty. For the first two years the legislature appropri- ated $10,000 for the payment of these bounties. At the expiration of that time no more money was available. The leg- islature,” however, failed to repeal this bill and the beet people claimed that the law was still in force in spite of the fact that there ‘was no money in the treasury for bounties. The case was appealed to the United States supreme court, but it was thrown out on the ground that the court did not have jurisdiction. . A deal has just been closed by which the sugar trust takes the bonds of the Saginaw & Valley beet sugar company of Michigan, at Owosso.

Historically, the passage we are. to consider in to-day’s study, Acts 13:13-52, gives us, as in one glance, a view of the course of the missionary life:of the great Apostle. In it we see how he was ex- posed to danger, buffeted by disease, for- saken by friends, antagonized by bitter- est enemies: and we also see his com- mon course of procedure, and hear the line of argument by which he was wont to present Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah of Israel, the Light of the Gentiles, ahd the loving, helpful One ready to save from sin all who will ac- cept him as Savior and King. Time.—We cannot definitely determine the year when Paul set out upon his first missionary tour. But it is interest- ing to observe how the history of his journeyings through Pamphylia, Pisidia and Lycaonia reveals clearly the time of year he visited the various cities. The spiritual and practical truth en- forced by the portion assigned as our Lesson Text, is that which Jesus had proclaimed when closing his Temple ministry—"“If any man hear my words and believe not, T judge him not; . . he hath one that judgeth him: the word that T have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day” (John 12 :47, 48). That is, the hearer of God’s Word of salvation through Jesus, by rejecting it condemns himself as unworthy of ever- lasting life, or by believing it and accept- ing the only Savior ordains himself to eternal ife. The missionaries presumably set out from Antioch in Syria when navigation opened in the spring—that is, about March. The sail to Cypress was short and probably their evangelistic tour through that island took about three months. Then they took ship from Pa- phos and by a northwest course to Perga in Pamphylia. Now they did not stop at ‘Perga, though they did halt there a few days on their return journey. This confirms the foregoing supposition that they reached Perga in early summer. Because of the heat, and the malarial conditions of the seacoast cities, their populations, as far as possible, hurried to the mountains or the high tableland V. broken up.” (1) God's (2) An (3) (1) (2) A (3) in the interior as summer drew on (Con- | yvbeare and Howson). What more natural plan than that the missionaries should follow the people? Dr. Ramsay, with a considerable fol- lowing, holds that Paul’s sickness, allud- ed to in Gal. 4:13, 14, also hastened their departure from the malarial district. A second line of investigation, which shows that Paul reached: Antioch in Pisidia in midsummer, is based upon his sermon delivered the Sabbath succeeding his arrival, which is reported quite fully in the chapter before us.’ Two, some say three, unusual expressions are used by the apostle, and these same expres- sions are found elsewhere in Scripture in certain passages of the Old Testa-. ment. Believing that the apostle, like his Lord, when preaching in a syna- | gogue was wont to base his remarks upon the passage of scripture just read, we are led to surmise that the passage from the Law of that day’s reading was | Deut. 1, and that from the Prophets was Isa. 1. Now, Jews have an arrangement of synagogue lessons which was pre- pared very early, and is still adhered to in their synagogues, and therein these passages are set down for the forty- fourth Sabbath of their year, and this “| falls late in the month of July. (Bengal, Plumptre, Wm. Taylor, et. al. Compare Acts 13:17 with Isa. 1:2; marginal read- ing of V. 18 with Deut. 1:31; V. 19 with Deut. 1:38.) The Persons—that is, the little com- pany (V. 13) of which Paul was now the recognized leader,—included possi- bly some of the new converts from Cy- prus, but possibly only Paul, Barnabas and John. At Perga John left them and went home. Whether he was dismayed at the dangers he discerned before them, we are not told. The cause for his leaving did not satisfy Paul (Acts 15:38), yet this same John Mark later became a most zealous laborer for Christ, and, probably, under Peter's guidance, the writer of the Gospel ac- cording to Mark. The Places which the apostles passed through or visited, are in the southern provinces of Asia Minor. Their route lay through dangerous ways. The paths were rugged, often precipitous, and the mountain torrents were often impass- able. So that this journey was in all probability filled with “perils” which Paul thought of when, in after years, he wrote 2 Cor. 11:26. “Behind Perga rose the snow-clad peaks of the Taurus Mountains, which had to -be penetrated through narrow passes, where crazy bridges spanned the rushing torrents, and the castles of rob- bers, who watched for passing travelers to pounce upon, were hidden in positions so inaccessible that even the Roman arms had not been able to exterminate them. The country to the north of the Tarsus was a vast tableland, more ele- vated than the summits of the highest mountains of England, and scattered over with solitary lakes, irregular moun- tain masses, and tracts of desert, where the population was rude, and spoke an almost endless variety of dialects.”— Rev. James Stalker, D.D. AxtiocH IN Pismia.—This city was built by Seleucus Nicator, 312-280 B. C., founder of the kingdom of Syria, and builder of Antioch on the Orontes, his capital. He is said to have been the greatest founder of cities that ever lived, and to have built nine Seleucias, named from himself, sixteen Antiochs, named from his father, and six Laodiceas, nam- ed from his mother. In the age of the Greek kings the Pisidian Antioch was a town of importance, but afterwards suffered, as did all Asia Minor, from the plundering and ravaging of Roman gen- erals and governors. In the time of Paul it was a Roman colony and there was a mixed population of Greeks, Romans and native Pisidians, together with some Jews. The town was ninety miles north of Perga. About seventy years ago the site of Antioch was identified by Rev. Mr. Arundell.. Conspicuous among its ruins are the remains of an aqueduct. Arriving in the town, they would go to the “strangers” rooms” of the synagogue, then find some lodging-place in the Jews’ quarters of the city. Next they would set out to sell tent-cloth, or perhaps to a place where Paul could work at his trade of making tent-cloth. When Sab- bath came they would seek the syna- gogue, take places among the most hum- ble of the worshipers there, but when opportunity for address was given, one would arise, begin by recounting some precious truths on which all Jews were agreed, and would go on with gréat skill and tact to proclaim Jesus as the One foretold by Jewish prophets, even the promised Messiah. During all their stay, in private houses, and while at the workbench, they would talk of Jesus and explain the way of life more clearly to seekers. If, as was commonly the case, bigoted Jews soon drove them from the synagogue, they sought some public hall or private.house for a place of public meeting for expounding Scrip- ture and worshiping God in Christ Jesus (See Farrar, Stalker). At Antioch, then, the apostles went to the synagogue when the hour for the Sabbath service came, and after the readings from the Law and the Pro- phets had been concluded, they were in- vited by the ruler of the synagogue to speak. Paul at once accepted the invita- tion rosé in his place—instead of mounting the platform and sitting™and began a masterly address. It is well for us to look carefully at this, as it is the only sermon of this apostle de- livered to Jews which is preserved for us. We cannot fail ‘to note its points of resemblance to Peter's sermon at Pentacost, and Stephen’s defence. Like Stephen, he began with a historical ar- gument; and like Peter, reached his climax through the story of Jesus’ res- urrection, continued life and saving mercy. Setting out with the Scriptures just read (see above), he noted God’s sov- ereign choice and loving care for his people Israel, through their wanderings in the wilderness, during the times of the Judges, until the monarchy was es- tablished, and David, “a man after God’s own heart,” was given to be their king. He then declared that of David’s line God had raised up the promised Savior, Jesus, whom John the Baptist had an- nounced, blinded rulers had crucified, and God had raised from the dead to be to Israel the bearer of “the sure mercies of David.” He went on to tell that through this risen Savior forgiveness of sin is offered to all who will believe in him; by him they are justified as they could not be by the law of Moses, His address was interspersed with quotations from the Psalms of David, and reference to the prophets. +E 5 i I tr er ol aw PT A Ee DD by WN I (A reed (Ne Sm Mh EP.
