PAUL, SILAS, Luke, and a new disciple, Timotheus, left Troas an went' to the town of Philippi, an im- .city of Macedonia. Paul vem A had a vision in the _ night in which a man from Mace- donia begged him to come over and help them. . the sabbath the four went to the river bank "where prayer was dont to be made" when there was no synagogue in the city. There they met a woman, apparently a widow, a business woman who was named Lydia because she came from Thyatira, a city of Lydia, and a dealer in fine purple. The Lord opened her heart so that she accept- the gospel and was baptised th her household. Lydia then begged the disciples to go home with her and accept her hospitality, which 'they did, rather reluctantly, and afterwards made it their head- 'As they went to prayer, Paul and Silas encountered a girl who "pos- sessed a spirit of divination, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying." She followed Paul about, crying, "These men are the servants of God, which shew unto us the way of salvation." She seemed to be suffering from a form of hy- steria which made her to cry out, and her masters capitalized on her infirmity by interpreting her inco- herent sayings and were unkind to her. . Paul stood it for some time, sev- eral days, in fact, then he said to the spirit that possessed her, "I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come cut of her." The tormenting spirit came out, but when her masters saw that she had regained her sanity and the hope of their gains was gone, they were very angry and took Paul and Silas to the marketplace, before the magis- trates, accusing them of troubling the city and teaching customs "which are not lawful for us to ob- serve, being Romans." Disciples Unlawfully Beaten The people then rose up against the dihciples and "the magistrates rent off their clothes, and com- manded to beat them." They "laid many stripes on them," then cast them into prison, telling the jailor to keep them safe, The jailor put them into an inner prison and made their feet fast in the stocks. This was all unlawful, for accord- ~ 4ng to Roman law they should have had an open trial before being s0 mistreateed. i At midnight Paul and Silas beat- en and suffering as they were, pray-' ed and sang praises unto , and the other heard them. 'Then . sudd there was a great earthquake, 80 that thé foundations of the prison were shaken; and im- mediately all the doors were opened, Zand everyone's bands were loosed." Awakened out of sleep, the jailer or prison ruler saw the prison doors open, and concluded that all his prisoners. had ' escaped. Knowing that he would be blamed, he decid- ed to end his life, but Paul cried out to him in a loud voice, saying: "Do thyself no harm; for we are all here." The poor jailor called for a light and came down, trembling, dropping on his knees before Paul and Silay' He brought them out of the prison asking, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" They told his to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. He took them to his own house, set meat before them, cared for their wounds, and then he and all his household were baptised, When it was day, the magistrates sent sergeants to loose Paul and ' Bilas.

The spirit of the letter to the Philip pines, especially, seems close to that of the finest passages in the Gos- pels. We have not room to quote much from these letters, but in the fourth chapter of Philippians we read and should memorize this oft quoted passage which is one of the finest in any known literature: "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever. things are of re- port; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Whitby Minister At Anniversary Columbus, Oct. 31.--Anniversary services were held in Columbus Un- ited Church last Sunday with the church packed with worshippers at the morning service and a well fill- ed church also at the evening ser- vise. This marked the 23rd anni- versary of the present church, The Rev, C. A. Malcolm of Whit- by, was the guest speaker at both services and delivered deep, tful and inspiring messages. His subject for the morning service was, "The Right Sense of Values", showing our need of such today. His evening subject was, "Meek and Mighty", The speaker pointed out that meekness is not timidity, but power and might under control, and proved his point by many illustra- tions from the Holy Scriptures. The choir under the leadership of Mrs, W. Scott, organist, rendered worshipful music. The numbers by THE PENTECOSTAL - GHURCH SUNDAY 11 AM. & 7 P.M. S.8. 10 AM. Mon. Wed. Fri. 8 p.m. CKDO PASTOR R.
