PULLED WRONG PLUG
Mrs. A. V. Rlckell of Edgcmont
visited for several days with rela
tives In this city.
A Greek boiler washer caused a
panic at the Burlington roundhouse
IrtRt night when he pulled the wash
out plug from an engine under
steam.
He thought he was pulling tht
plug from an engine that was prac
tically dead, but he made a inisiakt
and pulled the plug from un engine
ready to go out, In which the steam
pressure registered 80 pounds to the
inch.
There was a great scramble to get
out of the roundhouse as the steam
covered everything and filled the
large building so it was diUlcult to
discern anything. An efl'ort was
mad'', and with success, to get the
(iro out of the engine and thus stop
the making of steam. After a long
time the boiler was emptied of tin
accumulated steam and the men re
turned to their duties.
This morning the Greek workman
spent some time in explaining to the
Greek foreman how the mistake was
made. As the conversation was car
ried on in the Hellenic language It
is not known Just what was said by
either party but it Is certain the talk
was animated and punctuated with
many expletives.

dlsclpls that he be hi teacher, and !
th servant mm hla lord. Math. 10:2.
Teachers ought to urge their BchoN
ara to read Chapters 24, 25 and 2t
thoroughly, and with the use of
locate the places mentioned. The
of thin lesson is A. t. f9, and
curred at the crisis of the events which
determined the way Paul should go to
Rome, Nero being the emperor at that
time.
I. Paul In the Prison at Caesarea
(tt. 1.6). Paul was worn out, badly
In need of rest, and Is given during this
Imprisonment much freedom. He was
accompanied by Luke, his physician,
and probably some of his other friends.
For almost 20 years Paul hod been 11t
Ing a strenuous life, crowded full of
labors that would have crushed an or
dinary man. Now for some consider
able time he hod time to thoroughly
master and assimilate the truth which
he had been preaching, the results of
which have come down to us In the
form of letters, seven of which nt least
were written during and after the
events of this lesson. Ills Imprison
ment also gave many of his friends
opportunity to secure his counsel and
guidance. The vlndlctlveness and
hatred of the Jews Is evident by this
new plot whereby they sought the help
of Fcstus against Paul. The corrupt
Felix had been succeeded by n more
upright man, Fcstus, The scheme of
these enemies of Paul and of Jesus had
already resulted In giving Paul an op
portunity to preach Jesus ns the Christ
and the Judge of men to persons who
otherwise would not have been within
the scope of his Influence. Through
his persecution he had reached lending
otliclals and educated men of the Uo
mnns nnd of the Jews, llnnvun. In
lied ford jail, and Luther in Witten
berg Castle, are Illustrations of the
principle tlmt. "difficulties are the
stones out of which all Cod's houses
ire built."
Felix, on giving up his ofllce to his
successor, left Paul bound (Ch. 24 :27)
though he knew he ought to be re
leased, but by this vile, Iniquitous net,
he gave Paul another one of his de
sired opportunities to witness for
Christ In high places. The shrewdness
of Festus saved Paul from falling Into
the trap of the Jews, for (Jnd was guid
ing Festus. and nt the same time
guarding Paul.
II. Paul's Appeal to Czesar (vv. 7
12). The Jews made many and griev
ous complaints, but without bringing a
single witness to prove their asser
tions. Doubtless these were the same
old charges that had been brought be
fore Felix through Tertullus two years
before, and which now, ns then, could
not be proved. Paul was permitted to
answer for himself, and he declared
that he had broken neither the Jew
ish nor the Homan law. Most of the
enemies of Christianity and of the
Bible "lay many and grievous charges
against It which they cannot prove."
In all ages the enemies of God and his
word mistake strong and confident
charges and vilifications as proofs.
Paul's life was absolutely clean, and
he could say, "I have not sinned at all"
(v. 8 It. V.) in any of the directions in '
which he was charged. Festus, as the
newly appointed governor, desired to
do the Jews a favor; literally, desired
to gnlu their favor. Therefore he said
to Paul, "Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem,
und there be judged of these things be
fore me?" This amounted to an ac-
quiUul of Paul on the charges that
Would come under the Koinun law.
There remained only such charges as
would miturully come before the Snn-
hedrln, and the question was whether
Paul would accept en informal ucqult
tal from the Komau court mi condition
that he submit to a trial before his
own peoplo on the oth'-r count. Fes
tus wished to throw upon Paul the re
sponsibility of refusing to go to Jeru
salem, and - to avoid displeasing the
Jews.
Featus go a courteous but a st inn
ing and well deserved rebuke from his
prisoner. I'aul was perfectly willing
to take any punishment he deserved,
even unto death, but, having a clear
conscience, he bad no fear of Festus
or any man. His appeal to Caesar
was most unexpected. It confused
Fetus and baffled the Jews. The Lord's
own words on' his midnight visit to
Paul in prison are here suggested (21:
11).
Festus could make but one decision,
"Unto Caesar thou shall go." Paul's
sincere and open character was the
means of his safety and iower.
