Program same as Monday. “There stood by me this night the angel of God,” said Paul, “whose I am and whom I serve” (v. 22), It takes courage to mention angels in a crowd of material ists. The angel had testified that because God purposed to bring Paul safely to Rome, all those in the :ship should be preserved on his account (v. 24). If Pau| must stand before Caesar, all the cyclones could not founder; the ship' until he was near enough to swim ashore. Little does the world know!how much it owes to the presence of the children of God in it. “ThoU MUST be brought b e f o r e Caesar’’ (v. 24).. There is no escape from God’s “musts}’’' His power is the same in mid-ocean'as on land. While He has work for us to do, no power can cut us: off. Paul believed it. “I believe God that it shall be even as it was told me” (v. 25). What a testimony! Taking God at His word is the only way to abiding peace and abounding service. If we be lieve that God is faithful, we, like Paul, will be cheerful in the midst of the tem pest (v. 25). But the shipmen, even though they had been assured from heaven, preferred to trust to their own devices. They cast anchors and were about to flee the ship in the life-boat (v. 30), when Paul raised his voice again: "Except these abide in the ship, they cannot be saved” (v. 31). Wisely did the soldiers cut the ropes and let the boat drop into the sea (v. 32). How often we try to put out in our own boat and run ahead of God! When we are in close quarters, our only safety is to obey God implicitly, lest we get into worse trouble. Cut the ropes; trust the Word; be done with mere human devices. Paul besought the men to take food and cheer up (vs. 33-34). It is a great thing to be God’s man in such an hour. Noth ing can make a trusting Christian blue. After all, a Christian friend, in the hour

Everyone knew that he was not ashamed of his Lord. They all cheered up (v. 36). Cheerfulness is contagious'; so is! fearfulness. The Chris tian will never be a gloom-spreader if he is in the will of God. After eating, they lightened the ship by casting out the wheat (v. 38). They did not cast Paul out as another set of'sailors had cast Jonah overboard centuries be fore. Jonah was a curse because he was out of God’s will. Jonah’s company couldn’t be saved with him aboard. Paul’s company would have been lost without him. The devil had one more scheme to keep Paul from Rome. “The1soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners lest any of them should swim out and escape" (v. 42), for the ship had been run aground and no course remained but to swim to land. But the God of the tempest was not to be de feated by such a trick and He gave Paul a friend in the centurion who kept them from their purpose (v. 43). They owed their deliverance to Paul, yet they were ready to sacrifice him any moment. Thus do men treat Jesus Christ today. On boards, and broken pieces of the ship, all escaped to land. This is the way men come out of storms in which they have been because of their own choosing. Run ahead of God and get to shore any way you can. Grateful should one be in such a case, if God leaves him some board or stick by which he may be kept afloat. We come now to the last chapter, which shows us the landing of all on the island of Melita. “The barbarous people showed no little kindness : for they kindled a fire, and received every one, because of the rain and cold’’ (28:2). The humanity of some barbarians sometimes outshines that

In such a case, one is at the mercy of the waves. It is of no use to try oars or sails when our star of guidance is out of sight. They “used helps, undergirding the ship” (v. 17). When we take a course of our own devising, we are obliged to fall back upon our own helps,- and ¡alas, how little they can do for u s ! If£3vd avoid the “q u i c k s a n d s ” (v. 17), it is only through the mercy of God. They were “exceedingly tossed” (v. 18). There was one child of God on board, however, who had perfect calm within, if not without (ilsa. 26:3). To be “exceed ingly tossed” seems to be the experience of many professing Christians. They are just adrift. They are without light or guiding star. God must take everything away from them before He can get their attention to His will and induce them to “let the peace of God rule in their hearts by faith If he left so much as a cane by which they might hobble on in their own strength, they would try to go their own way, while complaining of their lack of peace. How kind of. Him sometimes to wreck the ship! Neither sun nor stars appeared for days. The tempest continually drove the ship (v. 20). Then it came time for the Christian to speak. He had been much in prayer. "Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me” (v. 21). The cap tains of earth who have scoffed at God’s messengers, will be obliged some day to stand back and acknowledge that they spoke the truth. Paul exhorts them to be of good cheer. The Christian should always have a word of cheer in the day of calamity, while at the same time he points men to God.
