Ver. 14. _The Ministry of Paul's Bonds._

+I. It was loyal to his Roman citizenship+ (Acts xxvi. 31, 32).

+II. Christ-like, it was silent amid provocation, self-sacrificing,

persuasive.+

+III. It was fruitful in the furtherance of the Gospel.+--1. _By

preaching it under the shadow of Nero's palace._ 2. _By

intensifying the love of it and zeal for it in the hearts of

the brethren._

+IV. It illustrates+ _how Christ can erect a pulpit for Himself in

the very camp of the enemy, and put a voice for His glory even

into chains.--Lay Preacher._
