The privileges en- Joyed by those who had the rights of citizen were Yup great, and Paul found afterward in his travels, when in difficult and dangerous places, that he could rely upon protection from Roman officers: and magistrates. His reek learning gave him approach to many lands, and his nship gave him protac- tion in his great missionary work. 2 Timothy 8: 14-15. From a child. It was near the end of Paul's life, and while in a Roman prison that he wrote this letter to his younger and dearly beloved friend Timo Timothy, P had been born and brought up in Asia Minor. His home was in Lystra (Acts 16: 1), his mother was a Jewess, his father a Greek. His childhood, no doubt, had been like that of Paul, and by a good mother he had been carefully taught in the holy scriptures. The Old Testament stor- ies, poetry, and prophecy were fam- Mn and Paul urges him to continue in those things which he had us learned, and which were able to make wise unto salvation, .not. in themselves, but through the faith of Christ, What Paul says hers about his friend may very well reflect the lessons of his own childhood, and we do not need to doubt the genuine and sincere piety of those simple Jewish homes, which was fed upon the sub- lime and pure teachings of the Old Testament. Deut. 6: 4-9. Thou shalt teach them. In the time of Christ and ever since, in devout Jewish homes, a sincere ef. fort has been made to keep this com- mand, These words are repeated the phil |q morning and evening. The law and the JfroPhets and the j ® are dili- ently read. It would be strange in- eed if the Jews did not thus learn much that is good, and as a matter of fact there has been developed in man hearts and homes a real faith in Go , and a sincere desire to do good. We, who have received the inestimable gift of the knowledge of Christ, should seek to know and to under- stand better the people from whose homes came both Jesus and Paul, Application. There may be men who, as we are sometimes told, are beyond church in uence, there are few with whom the church has not had its opportun- ity. Abel the worshi and Cain the murderer; Moses the man of God and Pharaoh the oppressor: Elij the prophet and Ahab the idalaters Miriam the prophetess and Jezebel, the serpent; Nero the incarnate de- mon and Paul the apostle; Wesley the evangelist and Voltaire niocker; Chalmers the savior Napoleon the destroyer--all th men were children once.
