-Paul Reviews Hla Ministry.
I. Paul's Visit to Greece and Mile
tus (20:1-6).
Two incidents marked this trip:
1. Tiie Jews laid wait for him
(vv. 1-5). This plot obliged him to
retrace his steps through Macedonia
instead of a more rapid sea voyage.
2. Fellowshlping the Disciples at
Tr<>as (vv. 6-16). He met with them
around the table of the Lord and
spoke words of encouragement. While
preaching here, Eutychus, in a deep
sleep. fell from a window and was
killeu. Paul restored ills life, thus
giving to the disciples a sign of divine
power which was greatly needed at
that time.
11. Paul’s Farewell to the Ephesian
Elders (20:17-38).
His object in this address is to hn
piess upon them their responsibility.
1. Review of Ids three years’ min
istry (vv. 18-21). (1) The spirit of
ministry (•. 19). He was humble,
tender and faithful in spite of the
many trials which befell him. (2) The
faithfulness of his ministry (vv. 20,
21). He imide known unto them every
thing Which was of profit, taught them
both in public and In private. He
neglected no class, Jews or Greeks.
He was impartial in all his ministry.
(3) The theme of his ministry (v. 21).
Repentance and faith. This is the pre
eminent note in the message of true
ministers today.
2. The present state of things (vv.
22-27). Having reviewed his ministry,
he now points out the present state
of things. (1) His immediate pur
pose was to go to Jerusalem (v. 22).
(2) Bonds and afflictions were lying
W,cross his path (v. 23). Despite these
went forward with undaunted cour
age. He knew that God was leading
him. so be went forward. (3) His
fixed purpose (v. 24). He was deter
mined to complete his ministry at
whatever cost —even giving up Ills Hie.
(4) His consciousness of obligation dis
charged (vv. 25-27). Knowing that
they should see Ids face no more, he
called them to record that lie had not
shunned to declare the whole counsel
of God; therefore was free from the
blood Os all men.
3. His charge to the elders (vv. 28-
35). (1) The ground of (v. 28). The
flock for which they must care was
purchased by the previous blood of
Jesus, and they hnd received their
chinnilssion from the Lord. (2) The
impending evils (vv. 29, 30). False
teachers would arise from their own
number. Grievous wolves would de
vour the flock. The most deadly foes
of the church are those ministers and
Sunday school teachers who are tin
faithful to their trust. (3) Incentives
to faithfulness (vv. 31-35). His own
example of watching night and day
for three years is held up before them:
ills unselfish service, laboring with his
own hands night and day that lie might
be free from suspicion of selfishness.
111. Paul Tarrying Seven Days at
Tyre (21:1-6).
His point of destination was Jerusa
lem. He was pressing onward thither
with all speed, but on account of the
unloading of the ship he was obliged
to wait at Tyre for seven days. Dur
ing this delay he searched out the dis
ciples who lived in that city. While
here certain disciples said that Paul
should not go to The in
formation which these disciples re
ceived by the Spirit was doubtless the
same as that given to Agabus (vv. 10,
11). Agabus told exactly what the
Spirit said, which sets light what
the Tyrian disciples seemed to say
The same Spirit which showed to these
disciples that suffering awaited Paul,
revealed unto him the same suffering
and sent him forward into it.
IV. Paul Tarrying in Philip’s House
(vv, 7-14).
Resuming their journey, they paused
briefly at Ptoleniais to greet the breth
ren there, after which they v/ent to
Caesarea. Here they took up their
abode with Philip, who had so success
fully wrought in the early days of the
tehurcb.
V. Paul at Jerusalem (vv. 15-17).
The brethren at Jerusalem gladly re
ceived them. Paul's lodging place was
with an old disciple.
Blessings of This Day.
Enjoy the blessings of this day, If
God sends them, and the evils bear pa
tiently, and sweetly; for. this day is
ours; we are dead to yesterday, and
are not Lorn tomorrow. —Jeremy Tay
lor.
Near Him.
We come too near Him when we
search into His counsels. The sun and
the tire say of themselves, Come not
too near. How much more the Light
which none can attain unto?- -Bishop
Hull.
RIOT FOR MORE AID.
MANCHESTER, Eng., Oct. 17.
Dissatisfied with the reply of the
city guardians to their demands for.
int reused relief, a crowd of uncm-|
ployed besieged the offices. -The
;guardians got out by the back way.

PLAN A‘PERFECT
PACKAGE’MONTH
I
; Express Company To Conduct
Campaign To Reduce Dam
ages In Shipment
A nation-wide "Perfect Package”
movement will be conducted by the
railroads, steamship lines and the ex
press carriers of the United States
and Canada, during November,
which v, ill be known as "Perfect
Package Month.” The shipping p-.ib
lic of this city will be asked to co
operate in the campaign.
An announcement to this effect
was made today by a joint commit
tee of local transportation men, com
posed of Geo. Anderson and H. M.
Sellars, representing the Central ana
Seaboard railroads, and Wade 11.
Morris, agent of the American Rail
way Express company. This commit
tee has taken- the matter up with the
city Chamber of Commerce and ar
rangements have been completed, to
enable the shippers of this city to
make a good showing in the move
ment.
The purpose of “Perfect Package
Month” is to enable the carirers to
aid shippers in their package prob
lems, and to help improve the trans
portation service of the country.
During November, the railroads,
steamship lines and the express com
panies will examine the condition of
all freight and express shipments and
record the faults of shipments, which
do not come up to the general classi
fication of “Perfect Packages.”
Special report blanks for freight
and express will be made out for ev
ery shipment that is found wanting in
some detail of good shipping, and
,these reports will |be seat to the
shippers of the packages.
At the conclusion of *he movement,
the record of each city durii'.g "i’er
feet Package Month” will be tabulat
ed and published broadcast. Th
leading city will be exploited, because
of its perfection in shinping methods.
Considerable .-“.airy has been
arounsed among traffic organisations
which have determined to m?kc their
cities the leader of “Perfect Pack
age Month.” *
November was selected for the
campaign, as the carriers arg in a
position w.iere they can give more
careful examination of passing traf
fic, and could, in fact, handle a’, least
25 per cent more business.
Every city or town, throughout the
United Slates and Cana: a, ‘ha’ ship;
by rail and water, w.i’l be informed
of these plans and be asked to aid in
carrying them out. The entire work
ing organization of all the railroads
and express companies, me also to
be enlisted in the campmgn, compris
ing a fore? of nearly 2,000,000 men.
The railroads will push the “Per
fect Package Movement” through a
ingle agency, the American Railway
Association, an organization of prac
tically all railroads and steamship
lines. Expre. ■ agents everywhere will
join with the- railroad peoples in con
iueting the campaign.

SPOTLESSLY CLEAN
It is one thong to wear
clothes of known correctness.
It is another to be correctly
dressed.'
For a soiled glove, a wilted
collar or a dress that shows
blemishes is far more fatal to
good form than to wear the
wrong thing.
Untidy clothing is as incor
rect as being unclean of body,
face or hands.

with keeping clothing and fur
nishings clean and tidy. The
volume of tihs work done by
us requires both skill and
modern facilities. Also it de
mands a certain pride of

ble where one is experienced
