Rhegiumâ€"Modern Reggie, six miles across from Messina. In the fifth century a great city, but de- stroyed by Dionysius of Syracuse in B. C". 387. By Paul’s time it had become once more a. flourishing city, with a mixed Roman and Greek population. It was not unusual for sailors to put in at Rhegium in or- der to discharge their vows to the twin gods. A south wind sprang up â€"â€" A favorable wind was of the utmost importance now, in order to make a safe journey through the strong THEY ARE ANGELS FOR ALL For the Child, the Man, the Family, the ' State, the Church. Tarried there three days â€"â€" They must have had a. favorable wind for this venturesome journey to Syracuse. The delay indicates that the wind had now shifted and was contrary. While waiting for a suit- able wind to carry them still far- ther north it is not probable that Paul would be allowed to leave the ship, as it might sail at any mo- ment. ’ 13. Made a. circuitâ€"As the favor- able wind did not arise, it was im- possible to run a. straight course Acts 21. 1), and they had to tack, 1st northeast toward Italy, and then back to Sicily. The twin brothersâ€"These were Castor and Pollux, sons of Jupiter and Leda. When they were transâ€" lated to the sky they became the guardian deities of sailors. Ancient ships had such a figurehead (sign) both at the bow and at the stern. 12. Syracuseâ€"One hundred miles north of Malta, situated on the east coast, and capital of the eastern half of Sicily. In former times it was one of the grandest cities of the Grecian world, and its kings exer- cised great power. At the time of Paul’s brief visit it was probably in decay, the property of absentee landlords. Always, and not less now, men consciously or unconsciously, have turned inquiring glances toward that other world where the Deity reigns and His cohorts deploy their activity in His service. T‘. ‘ angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.â€" Matt. xviii. 10. This gili‘iosity has never been shaken off. It is an inheritance of em nature, and, be he religious or irreligious, every one is helpless against its resistless fascination. It is all no weak proof that this haunting desire springs from the fact that we have not been made for this world, but are destined, thanks to the gracious God therefor, for a goal higher and‘more lasting. in holy writ give the story of that superamundane sphere. Therein is recounted the rebellion against the omnipotent, the deaf, the punishâ€" ment of the guilty and the reward unspeakable of those who were trea- son proof. We read of the unseen stairs the angels are climbing and descending with messages from God to man and with praise and thanks- giving and prayers from man to God. rship of Alexandriaâ€"At Myra, it will be remembered, they had taken a similar ship (A035 27. 6). Men run in vain solicitings to science and to uncredentialed orâ€" acles for some utterance to satisfy this restless, chafing curiosity, when with Bible in hand, every reveren- tial Christian may in prayerful meâ€" ditation learn all that it behooves to know, and more than frustrated attempts or blatant charlatanry can ever reveal. Lesson YII. Paul a Prisoner - in Romeâ€"Acts 28. 11-31. Golden Text, Rom. 1. 16. Verse 11. Afrt-er three monthsâ€" “ the wreck took place in the early part of November, and the time reckoned in full, the sailing would occur early in Februaryâ€"rather early for navigation. But a. govern- ment official would be likely to take some risk. The Son of Man in His eternity saw Satan and his minions fall like lightning from heaven. There is flashed upon us that reigp with its two kingdoms, the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness. In one the powers are set against God THE S. 8. LESSON I NTERNATIONAL LESSON, NOV. 1-1.

Called together . . . the chief c‘ the Jewsâ€"Those not already Christians, so that he might make clear his position, and thus offset any false statements which might have come to them in letters. Paul was suffered to abide by himselfâ€"Due to the favorable re~ port from Festus and the good will rf the centurion, Julius. Accord- mg to custom, he would be bound by a chain (verse ‘20) to the hand of the soldier who guarded him. 16.â€"â€"We entered into Rome~â€"One hundred and forty miles from Pn- teoli. Many notable monuments of the past had been seen on the way, but Luke is interested only in the spread of the gospel. Took courageâ€"~Though he had hardly come as he had expected (Rom. 1), here was evidence enough of the vitality of the faith he had longed to preach at; Rome to revive his heart. The Three Tavernsâ€"A second de- putation of Christians met Paul here. The name is derived from the existence of three inns where trav- elers could refresh themselves. and all that is godly. The powers on the other are champions of the right of the Divinity, and protec‘ tors of all who rely upon their auc- cor. God’s commands are being exâ€" ecuted with more than aerial swift‘ mess, and no mortal is unsafe, save the one who refuses the blessed ministrationa of those who were faithful from the dawn of time. 15. The Market of Appiusâ€"A sort of borough-town, forty-three miles south of Rome, on the famous high- way built by Appius Claudius, and reaching from Rome to Brundisium. If the child has hié angel, how much more certainly has the man, for the man needs him more. As early as Deuteronomy, we world was warned against trifling with those realms so near and yet so far away. “Neither let there be found one among you that seeketh the truth from the dead. For the Lord abhorreth all such things.”~ Dent. xviii. 12. - The attitude the Scriptures urge is so simple, so sublime. That atti- tude in one of prayer and worship. Such an attitude takes so much away from the loneliness of our pil- grimage. Wait, and be coutrite and humble, and our angels, when the summons sounds, will lift us gent- ly from our couch of death and place us in the arms of the loving Father, whose face they always see. REV. P. A. HALPIN. Much and everything needful does Scripture tell us. Its pages are vocal with the melody of the In fact, the uplifting and helpful story is narrated in its entirety, as those spirits energize in those last stretches of duration from the angel of the flaming sword to the bright one who came to John and unveiled all the glories of the New Jerusalem. There is no story, save that of Him crucified, more satis- fying, more consoling, more invig- orating. Why search elsewhere than in Scripture? So we came to Romeâ€"Luke reâ€" cords the fact of the completea journey before taking up, in the next verse, a few details. RUSTLING OF ANGEL WINGS. 14.

Two whole years~â€"During this time he wrote the Epistles to the Philippians, Colosaians, Ephesians, and Philemon. For the rest we must depend on hints in the epistles as to Paul’s employment. Such de- lays of justice were not uncommon. In this case, three reasons have been given: (1) loss of papers in the’ wreck; (2) non-appearance of ac- cusers; (3) difficulty of finding wit- nessesV With Paul were Luke, Aristarchus, Tychicus, Timothy, Epaphroditus, Epaphras, Mark, Demas, for longer or shorter periods. 31.

Finds Cur. trom Asonizing Skln Disease. ' Brown Cakeâ€"For a delicious and inexpensive cake, especially when eggs and butter are high,‘ the fol lowing recipe Will be found most acceptable. No eggs are required: Cream together one cupful brown sugar and oneâ€"half cupful butter, add one cupful thick sour milk, one teaspoonful soda, one teaspoonlul cinnamon, oneâ€"half teaspoonful cloves. one cupful or more of seed~ ed raisins or any other fruit desir- ciolLtirvo cupfuls of flour. Economy Cakeâ€",When a cake has been a failure on account of being too rich, do not throw out, but take one-half cupful of sugar, one small tablespoonful of butter. one egg, and two cnpfuls of milk. Break cake up in small pieces and stir all thoroughly until smooth. To one cup of flour add one heaping tea- spoonful of baking powder ’and flavor to taste. This is especially good as nut cake. r Apple Cakeâ€"One cupnt of sugar, one-half cupful of butter or lard, one cupful apple sauce with one tea- spoonful of soda stewed in it, one cnpful of raisins, one teaspoonful cinnamon, one-half teaspoonful of cloves, pinch of salt, 1% cupfuls of flour. Soutache.â€"â€"Stretch the embroid- ered parts to remove all wrinkles. Iron over the braid to smooth it. You will not be pleased with the ap- pearance of the linen beneath, but turn the garment, lay the embroid- ery upon a dduble or triple thick- ness of a. white Turkish towel which will permit the braid to sink into its soft surface and the back of the linen, following it with a medium iron. Iron all parts perfectly dry or they will wrinkle again and be unattractive. Iron embroidered scallops in the same manner and clip any loose threads that may esâ€" cape from scallops or edges. A pair of manicure scissors is good for this purpose. Laundry Bagâ€"Take a piece of linen about twice the size of a com- mon laundry bag, fold it and sealâ€" lop it around in light blue or pink. Work the monogram in the centre of the bag. Pad both the monogram and the border heavily. Work large eyelets about two and oneâ€"half inches from the top of bag and run through these a, cord to match the work. It makes a useful as‘well as dainty gift. , Lace Curtainsâ€"Cut strips of strong, unbleached muslin, about one and oneâ€"half inches wide the desired length of curtains. Sew strips onto plain edges of curtains with a. long machine stitch. Pin curtains into frame the usual “my, and when dry the stitching can eas- ily be ripped, (while still in frame) with sharp ripping knife. By this method the curtain edges are per- fectly straight, thus avoiding the “points” always made in pinning into the edge. The same strips can be used year after year. This idea can also be utilized in laundering centerpieces on which it is difficult to obtain a straight edge. For Ireneâ€"Place a. piece of a ceâ€" dar bough upon the ironing table and occasionally rub the hot iron on the cedar, especially when ironing ,‘starched articles, and you will be delighted with the ease with which you complete your ironing. Any kind of cedar will do, but the prickly kind seems best. The cedar thus used is far more satisfactory than parafline or bees‘wax or any- thing else we have tried. Peach Stains.-â€"The best way is to pour boiling water through stained article before washing. If this pro- cess is neglected, however, there is another that takes the stains out after article has been washed. Damper] and lay on ice in refriger- ator with stain next to the ice. It may require two or three freezings, but is a. simple and sure way. Removing Obstinate Stains.â€"â€"â€"Put a teaspoonful of powdered sulphur in a saucer and add a few drops of alcohol and ignite.‘ Place a. funnel over this, point upward.

I can 'now eat heartily almost any kind 0! 'food, and no longer experience pain ,and diseomfort after eating.’ ’ Its principal is that remedies for indigestion that digest the food for the stomach give relief for only a short time. Ultimately they unfit the stomach to do its own proper work, because they make its alâ€"‘ 'ready weak powers still weaker by disuse, while the remedy that strengthens the stomach makes it capable of digesting the food for it~ self, and this benefit is lasting. A remedy that is not only a tonic for the stomach, but for the blood and nerves as well, invigorates the en- tire system and makes recovery from the painful, weakening effects of indigestion rapid and thorough. Every sufierer from indigestion will find in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills just the tonic needed, as they enrich the blood, tone the stomach and thus enable it to do the work nature in- tended it should do. This has been proved in thousands of cases, and it is worth the while of every suf- ferer from stomach trouble to give Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills a fair trial. Mr. Edward Chatterton, CampbelL ton, N. 13., says :â€"â€"‘“I have been a great sufferer from indigestion and stomach trouble and although I had treatment from several doctors, I did not find a. cure until I began using Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.
