Teachers ought to urge their schol
ars to rend Chapters 1M, 'Jft und i!tl
thoroughly, noil with the use of u map
locate the places mentioned. The date
of this lesson Is A. 1). M, mid It oc
curred ut the crisis of the events u lib-It
deli ntiliictl the way Punt should go to
Ri'iue, Nero being the empeinr ut that
time.
I. Paul In the Prison nt Caesarca
(. 1.(1). Paul wus worn out, badly
In iti-il of rest, und Is glen during this
liuprlsoiiiuetit miirh freedom. He wiim
ui'coiiipuiileil by Luke, his physician,
und probably some of his other friends.
Per iiliiiost 'JO years Pun! had been liv
ing u strenuous life, erowded full of
labors that would have crushed mi or
dinary man. Now for some consider
tdle time he hail time to tluimiiKlil.v
muster und assimilate the truth which
lie had been preaching, the results of
which have come down to us In the
form of letters, seven of which at least
were written during und ufter the
events of this lesson. Ills Imprison
ment also guve tunny of his friends
opportunity to secure his counsel ami
guidance. The vludlctlvetiess anil
hatred of the .lews Is evident by this
new plot whereby they sought the help
of Festus itgnlnst Paul. The corrupt
Felix had been succeeded by u moro
upright mnii, Festus. Tho scheme of
these enemies of Paul anil of Jesus had
nlreaily resulted In giving Paul un op
portunity to preach Jesus iik the Christ
nnd the Judge of men to persons who
otherwise would not have been within
the scope of Id.s litlluence. Through
his persecution he had reached lending
olllclnls nnd educated men of the Ro
mans and of the Jcwh. Mirnyim, In
Bedford Jail, ami Luther In Witten
berg Castle, are Illustrations of the
principle that, "dllllcultle.s are the
stones out of which nil God's houses
are built."
Felix, on giving up his olllce to his
successor, left Paul bound (Ch. 24:27)
though he knew he ought to he re
leased, but by this vile, Iniquitous net,
he gave Pnul another ono of his de
sired opportunities to witness for
Christ In high plnces. The shrewdness
of Festus saved Paul from fulling Into
the trap of the Jews, for God was guid
ing Festus, und ut tho sumo tlmo
guarding Paul.
II. Paul's Appeal to Caesar (vv. 7
12). The Jews made many mid grlev
oiw complnlnts, but without bringing u
slnglo witness to prove their inser
tions. Doubtless these wero tho samo
old charges that had been brought he
fore Felix through Tertullus two years
before, nnd which now, us then, could
not hu proved. Pnul wiih permitted to
answer for himself, nnd ho declared
that he hud broken neither tho Jew
ish nor tho Roman law. Most of tho
enemies of Christianity mid of tho
Ulblc "luy many and grievous charges
ngnlnst It which they ciiunot prove."
In nil nges tho enemies of God nnd his
word mistake strong and confident
charges and vilifications us proofs.
Pnul's life wns absolutely clenn, and
he could say, "I have not sinned ut nil"
(v. 8 It. V.) in nny of the directions In
which he wiih charged. Festus, ns tho
newly appointed governor, desired to
do tho Jews a favor; literally, desired
to guln their favor. Therefore he suld
to Paul, "Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem,
and thero bo Judged of these things be
fore me?" This amounted to un ac
quittal of Pnul on the charges that
would come under the Roman law.
Thero remained only such charges us
would naturally come before tho San
hcdrln, nud tlio question was whether
Pnul would accept un Informal ucqult
tnl from the Roman court on condition
that ho submit to a trial before IiIh
own people on tlio othor count. Fes
tus wished to throw upon Paul the re
sponsibility of refusing to go to Jeru
snleui, und to avoid displeasing tho
Jews.
Festus got n courteous but n sting
ing und well deserved reliuko from bin
prisoner. Pnul was perfectly willing
to tuko nny punishment lie deserved,
even unto death, but, having a clear
conscience, ho had no fear of Festus
or any man. His nppeul to Cucsiir
was most unexpected. It confused
Festus nnd bafllcd the Jews. The Lord's
own woids on his midnight visit to
Paul In prison aro here suggested (23:
11).
Festus could make but ono decision,
"Unto Caesar thou shalt go." Paul's
slnccro nnd open character wus tho
meuna of his sufety nnd power.
III. Paul and Agrlppa (vv. 1.1-22).
Agrlppn wus the king of tho northern
purt of Palestine, n Jew nnd trained
In religious ceremonies, hut ono who
never mixed politics with religion,
wearing his Judnlsm ns a garment.
Ills father, Agrlppa I, slew James
the elder, the npostle.
The great-grandfather, "The Great,"
caused the massacre of tho infant Inno
cents (Math. 2).
He married his own Bister, Bcrnlco,
who ciimu with hi in on this visit to
Festus.
Festus declared Paul's causo unto
the king.
Age Made No Difference.
"Hero's a wonderful thing," ejacu
luted tlriiiidniu Fisher. "I've Just been
reading of a imui who hud reached the
nge of forty-two without learning how
to read or write. He met ti woman,
and for her sake he mudo a scholar of
hluiiu'lf in two years."
"I I'm, that's nothing I" exclaimed
William, Just out of college. "I know
u man who wus u profound scholar ut
forty-two. Then he met u womiiii and
for her sake ho made u fool of himself
In two days."
Jim Was Ahead of Him.
"It's so strange," sighed tho omni
bus conductor, "how, when two boyH
