Desired favor against. him--"Aeking a favor against him." -R. V. The na- ture of this favor is explained in the next clause. Would send f ,r him to Jerusalem -The Jews wishe 1 Foetus to eend to Caesarea, to have Paul brought to Jerusalem under the pre- tence that he might be tried before the Sandhedrin, but the real purpose was that they might in some way bring about his death. Laying wait in the way -The two years that had Passed since Paul was rescued from the eenspirators who had not leseened the hatred of the Jews toward him nor their desire to kill him. The, moral corruption ef the Jewisle lead- ers is made clear by this wicked and cruel plot. •• -CtweareaDotibtlese the comet reading le, "Thou Wet appealel mite (Wear," III.

Who succeeded Fe- lix? Who brought charge° againet Paul? What did they request Festus to do and for what purpose? What re- ply did Feetus make? What turther step was taken In the trial Of Paul? Why did Paul appeal to.Oaesar? Who was Agrippa? Bernice? What request LM they make of Festus? PRACTICAL SURVEY. 4. Answered that Paul was kept in charge (R. V.) -It is probable that Pestus was suspicious of the intent - lone of the Jew e who w:shed 1 aul brought to Jerusalem. He gave taern to understand that Paul was btane, ee- curely kept in Caesarea and the t was the place for him to have a tr:al, if any trial was necessary. a. We:ch among you are able-Feetue Welted and urged those Jewish leaders who had influence and the ability to bring charges against. Paul to go with him to Caesarea and make their accusa- tions there. It there be any wicked- ness in him-Festus opened the way for a hearing of the can before him- self, and Paul's accusers would have the opportunity of showing whether or not there was anything amiss in the prisoner. 6. More than ten deem --The marginal reading is, "No more. than eight or ten days," and this is' in agreement with the Revised Ver - ton. The stay of Festus at Jerus- alem was not prolonged. seems to have been active and firm itt the Prosecution of his duties as goveenor. Went down into Caesarea-Cacsarea was situated on the shore of the Med- iterranean and Jerusalem upon a ridge two thousand five hundred feet above the level of the sea, hence - there is propriety in saying that Pestus "went down" to Caesarea. The next day - There was no delay in giving Paul's accusers an opportunity to present their case. Sitting on the judgment seat-Festus, as •the governor of a Roman province, was also a judge, and 'before him were brought cases for trial, 7. Stood round about -In their eagerness to secure Paul's condemna- tion. Many and grievous coMPlatiels - No doubt the Jews had gathered many complaints against Paul from rumors during the two years since his arrest, and they were gad of tiv: Opportunity to bring before Festus their many charges against him. Which they coald not prove - The judge did not consider the evidence strong enough to sustain the charges. II, Paul's reply and appeal (vs. 8-12). 3. Answered for himself -The Roman law gave the accused person the op- portunity to answer the chare,es made against hint. Neither against the law of the Jews -The accusations against Paul were three as refuted by him in his reply. He had not broken Jewish law nor had he ;spoken against the Jewish system of religion, but had declared that Jesus, came as the ful- filment of the law. Neithee against the temple -He had not polluted the temple, as his enemies had chneged. Nor yet against Caesar -ft is evident thi4 the Jews had eharged Paul with scdetioa against the Roman Govern- ment, but the apostle promptly denied any disrespect for Rome. 9. 'Willing to do the Jews a pleasure-Festus de• sired to secure the good -will of the Jews. Wilt thou go np to Jerusalem - The procurator had no authority to compel Paul to appear before the San- hedrin, for that was an ecelesiaetical court, and its decisions were not recog- nized by the civil government. Be- fore me-Festus signafted bis willing- ness to g0 to Jerusalem with him, probably to see that Paul had a proper hearing. 10. I stead at Caesar's judg- ment seat -Every civic court in the Roman empire was looked upon as Caesar's judgment seat. It was a part of the.Roman judicial system. Paul had been brought before Felix many times during the two yeare of hie imprisonment. He, as the Roman citizen, had the right to justices rt the hands of Roman judges. As thou eery Well knowest-4t wee so evident that Paul had not wronged the Jews that Pesti% must at once acknowledge bis innotente. 11. If I be an Offender --The ques- tion of Paul's guilt or innocence must be decided by the civil court and not by the Jewish Sanhedrin. I refuse not to dice -The apostle was ready to -endure any just puitlehtnent, even to suffer death, but he was COIISCiOnii or bis Innocence. No man may deliver me unto them -Paul was certain of Ida rights as a Realm citizen, He wee firm in his determination to trust to the protection of the. Remelt gm erre went, and there was no poweethat could give him over to the ,Tevn against his will. 1 appeal unto tatestir -Paul had looked the gre.md over VOII and had eome to tho encision to place hinieelf under the, power of Rome. An appeal to Omar meant that his cause would be bre:mita, be- fore the emperor himself. 13.

The complicity of the Jews, H. The perplexity of Festus. . III. Tim decisive appeal of Paul, I. The complicity of the Jews. 'With. the Sanhedrin the first thought of a change of government seems to have been the hope of working upon the in- experience of Festus so as to get Pani into their power. It was the religious influence of Paul working mightily, sapping the very foundation of their religious system, presence in Jerusal- em. To everything that corrupt Jud- telem held dear Paul was an uncom- promieing antagonist. Moral corrup- tion, superstition, traditione, the pol- icy and ambition of the priests and their wholesale apostasy from God met lila steadfast disapproval. Though two years bad passea since the San- hedrin bad accused Paul et a Roman court, their reetless hatred and deter- mined purpose to destroy his life had not lessened. On their continued in- eistenee Festus gave the Jews the haughty and genuinely Roman reply that whatever their Oriental notions of justice might be, it was not the custom of the Romans to grant any man's life to his accusers by way of doing a favor, but rather to place the aecused and the accusers face to face and so give the accused a full. oppor- tunity for self-defense. The Jews knew better than to discicse their real grievances, so they accused Paul of offenses against their best lastitu- tians, the law and the temple, and of htteasou against the state. In truth Paul had. put the law in ite proper place and had everywhere vindicated it true functions. 11. The perplexity of lentils. As a shrewd man, Festus must have seen that Paul' accusers were capable of fabricating the most greundleee charg- es; and they must have known from the spirit of the apostle that he was an innocent man. He must have , known that Felix had found no fault 'In him. The Jews charged Paul with heresy, treason and sacrilege. Of trea- son Festus could form a judgment, but he knew nothing of hereey or sacri- lege. He was keen enough to see that Ihe oily treason ot which Paul was guilty was in supporting a "theologi- cal Kinn." Manifestly the whole mat- ter was out of leis range. Had it been 4 question of politics or law, that keen 3ii:dge would have brought all the pow- -Cr of his intellect to bear upon it. There does not seem to have entered Ilie mind of Festus the thought of in- vestigating Christianity It appeared to him that the men over whom he was appointed to rule were per - meeting themselves to be passionately absorbed by questions not worthy of a moment's consideration. Nothing could ,exceed the contemptuous indifference Itle which he referred to Christ. He looked upon the vital subject of Paul's preaching and of his contest with the Jews as a trifling matter unworthy of the serious consideration of educe:fed men. He made the OCCE1S1011 of Agrip- pa's visit an opportunity for an ex- laanation of all the "complications Which so .confused him. He was pain- fully embarrassed as to what to say about Paul to Caesar. The law requir- ed that he send with each prisoner a full report of his case to the emperor. Ills failure to declare Paul's freedom and his proposal to place him under trial before the Sanhedrin led to an nppeal which ended his authority in the ease. HI. The decisive appeal of Paul, Two years of imprisonment had not leseened Paul's courage nor affected his presence of mind. His defense was as clear and firm as ever. He held no desire of revenge against his enemies, no conspiracy against ells uurighteous Judges, no impatience at so long a Mal. He possessed a calm submission to Roman law and a coafidence in the divine protection. Continued hard- ships had tested his quality. He male- taand the same quiet dignity and of- fered the same defense. His appeal to Came was proof of a eonscietice void of offense before God and man, of a humble submassion to divinely or- tlained authority, of a wise avoidance ef an unnecessary Inartyrdore and 'of en unwearied zeal for the extension a the IsingdOM of God.

R. SJ $W Robert said that he had seen gana 'up to 16 -Inch, calibre fired at various proving grouncle, both privet() and GoVernMent, including Shoebury- ness, Portsneoutli, Gavres, Le Creusot, Sandy Hook, Indian Ilead„ Ochta, Meppen, Magdeburg, and elsewhere, also resulte of tests at provieg- greunds at Spezia. (Italy) and Kure (Japan.) The largest gun hehaa. Been fired was the 164nch, weiglilng about 120 tons, and being thirty-five calibres in length. A 16 -INCH COAST DEFENCE GUN. The gun lie question Was once tired and gave a range of twenty-one )rillee at a velocity equivalent to a range Of about 10,000 yards; that is, neamPara- tively low velocity, about 1,400 f.s. The 124ncle hard -faced armor -Plate watch it attacked obliquely was in- clined about 45 inches, that is very ex- treme. Tao plate was slightly crack- ed, but not perforated; in other words, the blow as more of a glancing than an impact one. He witnessed the round about a quarter of a, mile from the gun, and was able to observe the fragments as they ricochettea out to see, over a distance of about lae, mile. This gun was net suitable for putting on board ship; that it, it was used for coast defence purposes. It must be borne la mind, Sir Rob. ert said, that, that usually when big age trt ea peewee °net sttn ovum daily press, such as the 1Z cm., they were what was usually known ao "howitzers." In artillery parlance a xa 011 o peeeptsuoo vair SU& JOZI..TAlOtt actly a "gun."

It was, however, well known that we had 13.5 -inch and 15 -inch guns of the highest passible quality. The npaeo 113OIZ pereuee peueemo eitusee alien the British artillery engineer and the metallurgist, who by their combined efforts lied produced gene giving, as they have done, splendid re- sults; in fact, no fault had been found with them in service. Long might they continue in their duty of protecting our Empire, Our guns, unlike those if the enemy, were made for defence and not for attacking harmless seaside resorts. BRITISH SUPERIORITY. It might be of interest to state - and this wes ,an open secret -that a certain foreign nation about two years before the war broke out was wanting to order big meal guns; a commissiou was appointed to visit the various big gun -making ceaties of the world, and this commission unani- mously reported that the British wire - wound gun was the best which could be procured. Whatever the future, had in store in the way of developments of tae peeler of such guns, whether by means of in- creased calibre or by constructing calibres such as new made to stand higher pressure, one could be quite sure that the British artillery engin- eeer and the metallurgist would con- tinue to hold the proud peeltion they at present occepied of buildIng the most powerful guns the evorla had yet produced; i. e., the mnzzle energy of British guns had outrenked those of any other nation, for the 10 -inch Am- erican gun to which previous refer- ence had been made, whilst not df the howitzer type, hal -nothing like so great a muzzle energy es, for exam- ple, the British 15 -inch naval gun. In this respect, the so-called big German guns, about which there had been so. much written, vere as regarded their muzzle etergy very small and infer- ior weapons in comparison with ours With some of these naval guns it would be quite possible to send shells over Mont Blanc. GUN LIFE THREE SECONDS. Sir Robert referred to the fact that the life of a gun was very short, e. g,, that cof a modern high velocity gun was not much more than three sec- onds. By this was meant that if one added up the length of time duriag which the projectile remained in the gun it would be found that under full service velocities the total time, anti consequently the life of the iner gun tube did not amount to much more than three seconds before the erosion set up interfered With the accuracy of aim. • Several interesting examples were given by Sir Robert of remarkable re- sults .that ho had witnessed as being obtained from what he called that "modern high-speed and great -power heat -engine known as the big gun." One of tnese was that of a 9 -inch wroughtaron plate being attacked by a 9.2 -inch Whitworth shot. This plate was swung upon trunions projecting from either side. In other words, be - fere 'tiring it would have been possible with compartively little energy to make the plate swing backwards and forwards. To allow how qttiekly the shot acted, when the Whitworth shot was fired against this plate and per- forated it the plate was lifted from its trunniona seating and thrown aWa'y some 10 feet or 12 feet, yet the hole was properly punched in the plate. In oter words, before the plate had titne to swing the shot passed through it. That brought home a fact which Was perhaps not sometimes raised, namely, the enormously rapid action of tho Eliot in perforating. For example, a 15 -inch shot going through a 15-ineh plate would nerfor- ate at any rate in about 1-1,000th part of a tecorid, probably iti even less time thee this. It would be unaeretood what trelneeelouls Stresses were suden- ly brought to bear upon the shot and how the slightest flaw or imperfectien of any kind would wreck it. In other words, a 15-irtele armor -piercing shed properly hardened end tempered was a very fine Matallurgieal achievement. Another instance might be mention- ed. One of our 6 -inch shot was fired' against a 0 -inch compound plate, end reeovered 'unbroken. It was so little injured that it Was put In the gun and fired again. A second Ilsinch plate was also perforated, the shot being ins - covered unbroken, but slightly ground. It was fired a third time against e hard -faced plate, and, being uhectpped, the tehot, omum, broke. Tits illits- trated how well a Shot properly hard- ened end tempered could resist the, ea- OrniOusly •complex etreeeett etieldenty brought to bear. The shot, by omens Of its quality, and when poaSeeeing Rilai en - MIA energy, was thoroughly maeter of Its work against any typo of Plate without a hard face. To oVeretnne the herd face, the modern cap lute been introduced. This enebloil even the liaraest fan to lee perferated. TRAIN WRECKER Confesses Crime Which Caused Two Deaths.

Announcement was made offioially to -day at Bucharest that the Rouman- ian troops which crossed the Danube and invaded Bulgaria have returned Lo the Roumanian side of the river. The report reads: "On the southern front- the demon- stration made between Rustehuk and Turtukai •having ended, we withdrew our forces to the left bank of the Droads: e . " The Austrian War Office report "The result of the Roumanian at- tack on the lower Danube, made known from reports from the allied (Teutonic) general staff, is that the enemy left Bulgarian tereitory more quickly than he entered it. According to an intercepted Roumanian wireless despatch this result was due to the brave interference of our brave Dan- ube flotilla." Sofia seizes the fact of the with- drawal to officially announce that the Roumanians, who it is admitted in the report, had no artillery, were en- gaged by the 13ulgars and immense numbers killed, adding: "Om troops to -day are completing the destruc- tion," On the northerly front in Transyl- vania the Roumanians have won a three-day battle, the official state - meat declares, and after capturing Austro-Gernian fortifications,are pur- suing their defeated foe ,towards the west, The statement follows: "On the north and north-western front, in the region of Parajo, after three days' hard fighting. we carried enemy fortifications, driving the ene- my westward" CONSTANIINE SIR IiERS While He Reigns, Gre,ece Will Stay Neutral.

R. SJ $W Robert said that he had seen gana 'up to 16 -Inch, calibre fired at various proving grouncle, both privet() and GoVernMent, including Shoebury- ness, Portsneoutli, Gavres, Le Creusot, Sandy Hook, Indian Ilead„ Ochta, Meppen, Magdeburg, and elsewhere, also resulte of tests at provieg- greunds at Spezia. (Italy) and Kure (Japan.) The largest gun hehaa. Been fired was the 164nch, weiglilng about 120 tons, and being thirty-five calibres in length. A 16 -INCH COAST DEFENCE GUN. The gun lie question Was once tired and gave a range of twenty-one )rillee at a velocity equivalent to a range Of about 10,000 yards; that is, neamPara- tively low velocity, about 1,400 f.s. The 124ncle hard -faced armor -Plate watch it attacked obliquely was in- clined about 45 inches, that is very ex- treme. Tao plate was slightly crack- ed, but not perforated; in other words, the blow as more of a glancing than an impact one. He witnessed the round about a quarter of a, mile from the gun, and was able to observe the fragments as they ricochettea out to see, over a distance of about lae, mile. This gun was net suitable for putting on board ship; that it, it was used for coast defence purposes. It must be borne la mind, Sir Rob. ert said, that, that usually when big age trt ea peewee °net sttn ovum daily press, such as the 1Z cm., they were what was usually known ao "howitzers." In artillery parlance a xa 011 o peeeptsuoo vair SU& JOZI..TAlOtt actly a "gun." Its internal pressure very seldom exceeded fourteen or fif- teen tons per square inch, and often not so mueh as that, whereas a real gun, as used in the navy, or for coast batteries, had to stand a pres- sure of twenty tons per square inch. eaneeu ioneies unto alto spavaat Sr ally in time of war one's mouth was sealed. It was, however, well known that we had 13.5 -inch and 15 -inch guns of the highest passible quality. The npaeo 113OIZ pereuee peueemo eitusee alien the British artillery engineer and the metallurgist, who by their combined efforts lied produced gene giving, as they have done, splendid re- sults; in fact, no fault had been found with them in service. Long might they continue in their duty of protecting our Empire, Our guns, unlike those if the enemy, were made for defence and not for attacking harmless seaside resorts. BRITISH SUPERIORITY. It might be of interest to state - and this wes ,an open secret -that a certain foreign nation about two years before the war broke out was wanting to order big meal guns; a commissiou was appointed to visit the various big gun -making ceaties of the world, and this commission unani- mously reported that the British wire - wound gun was the best which could be procured. Whatever the future, had in store in the way of developments of tae peeler of such guns, whether by means of in- creased calibre or by constructing calibres such as new made to stand higher pressure, one could be quite sure that the British artillery engin- eeer and the metallurgist would con- tinue to hold the proud peeltion they at present occepied of buildIng the most powerful guns the evorla had yet produced; i. e., the mnzzle energy of British guns had outrenked those of any other nation, for the 10 -inch Am- erican gun to which previous refer- ence had been made, whilst not df the howitzer type, hal -nothing like so great a muzzle energy es, for exam- ple, the British 15 -inch naval gun. In this respect, the so-called big German guns, about which there had been so. much written, vere as regarded their muzzle etergy very small and infer- ior weapons in comparison with ours With some of these naval guns it would be quite possible to send shells over Mont Blanc. GUN LIFE THREE SECONDS. Sir Robert referred to the fact that the life of a gun was very short, e. g,, that cof a modern high velocity gun was not much more than three sec- onds. By this was meant that if one added up the length of time duriag which the projectile remained in the gun it would be found that under full service velocities the total time, anti consequently the life of the iner gun tube did not amount to much more than three seconds before the erosion set up interfered With the accuracy of aim. • Several interesting examples were given by Sir Robert of remarkable re- sults .that ho had witnessed as being obtained from what he called that "modern high-speed and great -power heat -engine known as the big gun." One of tnese was that of a 9 -inch wroughtaron plate being attacked by a 9.2 -inch Whitworth shot. This plate was swung upon trunions projecting from either side. In other words, be - fere 'tiring it would have been possible with compartively little energy to make the plate swing backwards and forwards. To allow how qttiekly the shot acted, when the Whitworth shot was fired against this plate and per- forated it the plate was lifted from its trunniona seating and thrown aWa'y some 10 feet or 12 feet, yet the hole was properly punched in the plate. In oter words, before the plate had titne to swing the shot passed through it. That brought home a fact which Was perhaps not sometimes raised, namely, the enormously rapid action of tho Eliot in perforating. For example, a 15 -inch shot going through a 15-ineh plate would nerfor- ate at any rate in about 1-1,000th part of a tecorid, probably iti even less time thee this. It would be unaeretood what trelneeelouls Stresses were suden- ly brought to bear upon the shot and how the slightest flaw or imperfectien of any kind would wreck it. In other words, a 15-irtele armor -piercing shed properly hardened end tempered was a very fine Matallurgieal achievement. Another instance might be mention- ed. One of our 6 -inch shot was fired' against a 0 -inch compound plate, end reeovered 'unbroken. It was so little injured that it Was put In the gun and fired again. A second Ilsinch plate was also perforated, the shot being ins - covered unbroken, but slightly ground. It was fired a third time against e hard -faced plate, and, being uhectpped, the tehot, omum, broke. Tits illits- trated how well a Shot properly hard- ened end tempered could resist the, ea- OrniOusly •complex etreeeett etieldenty brought to bear. The shot, by omens Of its quality, and when poaSeeeing Rilai en - MIA energy, was thoroughly maeter of Its work against any typo of Plate without a hard face.

London, Cable.—Von Meckensen's armies in the Dobrudja are still be- ing hard pressed. Torslay's Petrograd statement says: "The offensive of the Russo -Rou- manian armies continues, We have captured six ,cannon and the Rouman- ians seven cannon."
