Church Serv ices are Started at Nehawka Llissicn from St. Luke's Church Here Held Sunday Evening by Fath er George D. Pierce. On Saturday evening Father Geo. D. Pierce of the St. Luke's Episcopal church of this city motored to Ne hawka, where he opened a mission to bring the message of this ancient Christian church into that section of the county. j The services at the present time are being held in the attractive audi torium in the community building and the attendance at the opening service was very pleasing to the rec tor of St. Luke's church, offering as it did, the premise of a great deal of interest in the bringing of the mes sage of the church into this new field. It i3 expected by the rector of the church here to continue these serv ices in the future and with the splendid efforts of Father Pierce to aid in the establishment of the mis sion, it should result in a great deal of good to the church in general and also to the community where the services are being held. The mission at Nehawka will be served from this city similar to the Wyoming church which is served from the St. Mary's church at Ne braska City and will bring the teach ings of the Episcopal church into that portion of Cass and Otoe coun ties.

Act 26th chapter, 19th verse. Paul Found Not Guilty Notwithstanding the Jews accused Paul of many things, and would have killed him because of their hatred df him because he preached Jesus ! the Christ, the Bon of God and pre-! dicated it upon his birth, his lite, his crucifiction, his resurrection and his ascension to the Father, all in fulfillment of prophecy, coupled with his (Paul's) own miraculous con version, a trial before two governors and a king found him not guilty. As we studied in last Sunday's lesson concerning the trial before Felix, when the noted attorney Ter tullus, aided by the High Priest and many members of the Sanhedran and leading Jews, Felix plainly said, "You have no case, but I will inquire more regarding the matter when Claudius shall come down." The real reason was Felix wanted some money and hoped Paul or his friends would give in to his extortious methods in order to procure Paul's liberty. In this, he was sorely disappointed, as Paul fully expected to go to Rome, for he had been informed in a vision that he was to bear the message of the Master to the then western world. While Felix treated Paul with much kindness, still he kept him in prison, vainly hoping for a bribe for his liberty. With the changing scenes at Rome, Festus had something coming in the way of a political plum and the gov ernorship of Judea was given him, Felix being recalled. In order to re tain favor with the clamorous Jews, however, Felix left Paul in prison on his retirement, where we find him at the beginning of today's lesson. Now comes Festus! As governor of Judea, his first duty, as he saw it, after having look ed alter matters at Ceaserea, was to visit the principal places of his do main, among them Jerusalem. Here the Jews asked of him that Paul might be sent to Jerusalem for trial, but Festus thought Ceasera, the cap ita! of the province the proper place. However Festus remained at Jeru salem for ten dtys, when he return ed to Ceaserea and the day following sat in court, and as the Jews from Jerusalem had come down again to press their charges and were ready for a trial, he called Paul. The Jews laid many charges against this man of God, but could prove nothing. Festus. wanting the good will of the Jews, asked Paul, "Are you willing to go to Jerusalem and stand trial?" But Paul who as a Roman citizen knew that Ceaserea was the capital and that there was the place for the trial and not at Jerusalem, held to his rights, knowing also that the trial at Jerusalem was only a pretext and that they wanted to kill him on the way. So he answered Festus, "I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ough to be judged. To the Jews I have done no wrong as thou very well knowest. For if I be an offender or have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die, but if there be none of these where of they accuse me, no man may de liver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar." Then Festus, when he had con ferred with the council answered, "Hast thou appealed unto Caesar; unto Caesar shalt thou go." Now, as the custom was, when a new governor had arrived the prac tice was that the king came to visit Festus. The king at this time was Herod Agrippa, better known only as Agrippa. He came with his wife, Bernice. to pay their compliments to the new governor. Following the the greetings and other formal mat ters, as Festus was to send Paul to Rome, he did not know what charge to prefer as Paul had been guilty of no infraction of the Roman law; so he consulted with Agrippa and it was arranged for a hearing of Paul before Agrippa. When he had been called and the case stated, King Agrippa nodded to Paul, saying unto him, "Thou art permitted to speak for thyself." As ever during the life of Paul following his conversion, he was ready to speak not only for himself but for the Christ to whose service he had dedicated his life.
