derable force. With regard to the other five letters, it seems that there cannot be any reasonable doubt, as to the position they ought to occupy in the narrative of the Acts. The internal evidence, as drawn out by Dr. Paley, is sufficient proof. Their actual dates it may be impossible to fix with certainty but their relative dates,-i. e. their relation to the travels of St. Paul,—can hardly be doubted. And this is the only matter of importance, as regards the intention of this volume. The Maps have been drawn by one of the pupils, and lithographed by one of the masters, in the Institution. They belong respectively to the two parts, into which the book is divided, viz., the travels and letters of the second, and the travels and letters of the third, apostolical journey : and each contains the places mentioned in the part to which it belongs, and no others. The towns from which the Epistles were written are indicated by a line placed under the names; and those parts of the Apostle's track which are uncertain, are marked more faintly than the rest. The attention of the reader is called to the arrangement of latitudes and longitudes. The maps are symmetrically arranged with regard to the parallel of 35°, which intersects the islands of Crete and Cyprus; and also with regard to the meridian of 30°,-that of 25°, on one side, passing near Philippi and cutting Crete, and that of 35°, on the other, passing near Tarsus and entering the Holy Land at the headland of Mount Carmel. These may, to some persons, appear trifling details: but the practical teacher knows the importance of calling the attention of his pupils to geographical coincidences. It is hoped that a small body of notes will in due time be prepared, to accompany this volume, for the use of both teachers and pupils; and that some other Scripturemanuals will follow it, on a plan more or less similar, and adapted to the course of the Christian year. I. S. H. PART I. SECOND APOSTOLIC JOURNEY. A. D. 50-53. XV. Acts. 36 PAUL said unto Barnabas, "Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do." 37 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark. 38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not 39 with them to the work. And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, 40 and sailed unto Cyprus; and Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God. 41 XVI. 1 Cilicia, And he went through Syria and through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches. Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: to Derbe and Lystra: and thence and, behold, a certain disciple was with Timothy, B |
