Acts, xxvifi.1:31. Golden Text: “I am not ashamed of the gospel; for it is the power of God unto sal- vation to every one that be- lieveth. Romans, 1.16. During the three months, that fol- lowed his being shipwrecked upon the Island of Melita, modern Malta, Paul found it an {deal detention camp. Al though he longed to reach the front line at Rome, he used the three months following his thrilling ex- perience, which we considered last week, in medical mission work that ‘won the hearts of the rulers and citl- zens of the island for Christ and his Church. Travel- ers who visit Malts are shown two churches that commemorate the stay of the apostle upon that island while waiting for a favorable oppor- tunity to push on toward the Imperial City. It is quite possible that Luke who was a physician, may have ren- dered the apostle assistance in un- usual medical mission work and mod estly kept himself in the background. Paul attracted the attention of the | sharpeyed, superstitous natives around the fire, which they had started so that the stranded, ship- wrecked sufferers might dry their clothes and remove the chill of the! bleak Autumn day. They saw a half- frozen reptile, that had been warmed by the fire's heat, suddenly dart and stened itself upon the apostle’'s hand. They knew that the “viper” had im. bedded its fangs in this apostle’s hand and looked for him to die quick- ly. They had the conception. which lies at the foundation of all natural religion, that there exists a connec- tion between wrongdoing and retribu tlon, so that none can escape the re- sult of their sin. They looked upon Paul as a murderer whom God was punishing for his crime. They were surprised when Paul shook the rep- tile into the fire. Ramsay claims that the apostle's ability to shake off the snake shows that it “‘was @ constictor and not (as | Luke calls it) a viper, which darts| and strikes but does not cling. There is found in Malta a species of the constrictor, which is in appearance so like & viper as to decelve even u skilled naturalist, unless he examines it closely, and the action of this would be exactly like what Luke describes.” When Paul did not dle, as they expected, they commenced to consider the apostle, although in chains, to be a god. Publius Lentulus, the governor. ex- tended the hospitality of his home to | Paul and his companions. He could not have done this unless he had the | approval of Julius, the centurion. Paul showed his appreciation of the unusual honor extended to him and his party by healing the governor's father, who was ill with fever and dysentery, the two diseases which are still common in the island, accord- ing to the reports of their physicians. The apostle, probably to remove the false conceptions, due to the failure of the reptile to injure him, placed the hand, which had been bitten upon the feverish brow and then prayed for the man, who had been weakened by disease and advancing years. The reports of the divine healing spread quickly through the island, with the result that both Paul and Luke were continually being called upon to heal the sick, which gave them many op- portunities to preach the gospel to the generous citizens, who showed their appreciation by providing every thing needed for the members of Paul's party when they started for Rome at the opening of navigation. Entering Rome. Julius impressed into the govern- ment service an Alexandrian boat that had Wintered in the harbor to take his prisoners to Italy. They sail- ed in the Discouri, a vessel that had been dedicated to the pagan ‘‘twin gods, Castor and Pollux, who were the patrons of sailors and whose figures adorned the vessel's prow.” They tarried at Syracuse, the first port at which they stopped, for three days. Unfavorable winds prevented them Rev. H. T. Stevenson. | | | modern Reggio, which was destroyed with the city of Messina by the g tidal wave that engulfed both of the: places at the mouth of the Straits of Messina about 20 years ago following the earthquake which did great dam- age both to Sicily and the mainland of Italy near the Staits of Messina. He may have seen Etna in action as he sailed northward from Syracuse to Regglo. Certainly, when with a favor- able wind he passed through the Straits of Messina and safled direct for Naples he saw old Stromboli send forth her liquid fire at regular inter- v After a day’s sail from Reggio their vessel entered one of the hand- somest harbors in the world. It is doubtful, as Paul surveyed that mag- nificent harbor, that he ever dreamt that the beautiful hill on his right with its vines and green covering was a sleeping volcano. He never thought that the fair citles at the base of Vesuvius would in a few years bocon:t like the ruins of Sodom and Gomorrah, and “that the Jewish princess who had so lately conversed with him in his prison at Caesarea would find her tomb in that ruin with the child that she had borne to Felix.” When his vessel touched the docks at Puteoll, where “the Syrian Orentes first disgorged its crowds on the way to the Roman Tiber,” Paul may have found some of the brethren from the church there to welcome him. At their request and with the approval of Julius he arranged to visit them and the brethren from Naples, which was about two miles away, for a week before proceeding to Rome. This gave time to forward work to the brethren in Rome that the great apostle had reached Italy as a prisoner. They ap- pointed committees to welcome Paul, who met him as he journeyed over the famous Applan Way. The frst reception committee greeted Paul al the Applan Forum, after traveling on foot 43 miles to welcome him. At the ‘Three Taverns, which was 13 miles closer to Rome, another company ex- tended to the distinguished prisoner the right hand of fellowship. The companionship of his brethren cheered Paul, who probably did not quite un- derstand the effect of his entering Rome, even as a military prisoner. | He entered through Drussus Arch as a conquering hero into the imperlal city. Preaching in Rome. Three days after he reached the city the apostle started his campaign to win the great world center by sum moning the leading rabbis of the seven synagogues to a conference. He tried to disarm their prejudice by as- suring them of his foyalty to the Jew- ish faith. In his reference to “the hope of Israel” the apostle again de- clares the unity of the faith of the Christian with the religion of the Jew. Israel had hoped for the coming and revelation of the Messiah; the Chris- tians belleved that in the person and resurrection of Jesus there was a ful- fillment of Israel's hope. The Jewish leaders were interested in Paul's state- ments and arranged for another inter view, although they pointed out to him that the sect with which he was identifled was everywhere spoken against. In the second interview Paul met a larger number of the Jewish leaders They showed a friendly spirit toward him personally, but were divided con- cerning his views of prophecy about the Christ. Having failed to fmpress his teachings upon the Jewish leaders. whom he loved, the apostle turned to the Gentiles, aching those things which concerned the Lord Jesus Christ with all confldence, no man forbidding him.” His ministry went on in his own private house for two years when upon the presentation of prob. ably the Gospel of Luke and the Acts in the apostle’s defense, the first im- prisonment of Paul came to an end | None of his Jerusalem accusers had | appeared against him and two Roman officfals had declared that he was not gullty of any crime and could have been given his liberty, if he had not made “his appeal to Caesar, which caused him to enter Rome as a pris- oner. Paul was as proud of his chains as many a woman is of her finest bracelet. Probably the emperor paid no atten- tion to the apostle, whose entrance into Rome and preaching may have escaped his attention. When Paul {entered Rome he had started an in fluence that became so strong in the army of the empire that (‘onstantine appealed to it in his efforts to obtain the throne 300 years later ministry in Rome was not confined to preaching in his hired home, for he | was able to Keep in touch with the churches scattered throughout the empire through the visitors that came annually to Rome from the ends of the earth. During this imprisonment the apostle is believed to have penned t least the Epistles to the Ephesians. Colossians. Philipplans and Philemon He may have sent others letters, but they have not come down to us in the Bible. Ramsay believes that Luke planned to write another book that would cover the work of the statesman and pioneer of modern civilization from the close of this lesson up to his death as a martyr under Nero, because his reference to Paul in Rome s brief. It the other view, which is finding more advocates daily, is taken, Acts was written in defence of Paul and there was no need of the other | work that would carry the record of the apostle’s words and work up to the hour when as a martyr he fin ished ministry with joy and faithful- ness. He was not ‘ashamed of his gospel and he saw the evidence of its power in his ministry, while history has acclaimed the fact that Paul, who entered Rome a prisoner, hecause of his loyalty to Christ, is one of the world's greatest men, witnessing by the influence of his life upon the af. falrs of men to the power of the gos- pel of Christ Jesus: “for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.” ARTISTS OF FOUR NATIONS HELP SUCCESS OF OPERA IN ENGLISH Story by Frenchman, Score by Italian, Title Role by Japanese, and Presented by Americans, “Nami- ko-San” Wins Approval By the Associated Press.
