PAUL ANT TEE ROMAN CAPTAIN, 21: 37 to 22: 1. V. 37. Lysias knows that he is ,re- sponsible for the order of the city,, and he naturally decides to. arrest Paul. He is surprised to find that he is able to ,•speak Greek, just as a. little later the people Are surprised that he can speak Aramaic. V. 38. The captain has sepposed that this man was a false prophet from Egypt who a little while. before had led a .revolution against Rome, and who had escaped't'•ns far. But Paul indignant:y denies this statement and with 'manifest civic pride affirms that he is a citizen of Tars es. • V. 40. The scene is very memorable,. and must have *pealed strongly to the memory of the great apostle. Twenty-four years before this he had. taken part in a similar riot over the Christian confession made by Stephen, the first Christian martyr. At that time, Paul had been on the side of the Jews, and had been a leader ire,, the attack on the followers of Jeeee. But now everything is reversed. He is back i`ti the familiar city, filled -with sad memories, and Low he is pleading the cause of those whom once he perse- cuted. He wishes to make his defence of Christ. Many of his old Jewish ,friends would probably present, and many more were there who had Beard • of his fame. It was thus a situation fraught with intense emotion. Paul raised his hands to Ball their attention as hebegan to ..pe. k in the Hebrew, or . Aramaic language. Ch. 22, v. l; The addres.i opens in the ordinary way and eonti::ues to '. 22. The speech was a bold, straight- forward talk. Paul mentions his early training in the Mosaic law under a great rabbi, 'Genu.liel, 'refers' to his own zeal in persecuting the Christians and then tells .of the great revolution made in his life by the light that broke upcn him an the re ad to Damascus. _n v. 17, he mentions a vision he had in the temple, warning him of impending danger and at this point the fury of the people breaks out.

But these ships carry a bigger de- structive power than the designers of British fighting ships have ever at- tempted. The sixteen -inch projectile weighs just under one ton, go that a means nearly nine tone of metal and explosive. The guns have a maximum range of just under 22 miles, and- it has been estimated unofficially that at ten thousand yards the projectile can pierce seventeen inches of armor. To build the ships costs nearly seven and a half million pounds, of which about three millions represent guns and turret armor. They carry complements of ` about fourteen hundred officers and men, who consume two and three-quarter tons of food a day. II. PARE AND :RE ANGRY MOB, 22: 2`d-20. V. 22. As already suggested this scene is much dice that which is re- ported in connection with the death of Stephen.

Some think that they threw eff their outer g^rinents -i reorder to be freer to cast ..tones at him, as in the Stephen's case. V. 24.

Be proceeds to use scor.rging in order to force the pris- oner to tell the trth. It was illegal to use such torture except where the pris-' oner had refused to confess, and it was always illegal to scourge a Roman citizen. V. 25.

Sir William Harwood, Chief Commissioner, and Sir Wynd- ham Childs, Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department at Scotland Yard, who fall within this category, emphaticallF denied that anything like "third-degree" methods has been prac- tised" in this 'country. The task of the police, they said, was to obtain from witnesses by all the artifices they could employ any information they required, but the oment those witnesses became sus- pected persons and started to make statements that might amount to confessions, it 'was the duty of the police to warn them not to say any- thing that might be used egalnst them. This duty was always carried out, they said. Sir Wyndham, however, admitted that a belief in "third-degree" meth- ods had become rooted in the public mind. "Perhaps engendered by the preva- lence of crook alms," suggested Lord Lee. A certain amount of indignation has been caused in feminist circles by the blunt assertion of the Chief Commie sioner and his assistant chief that women police are still an experiment whose success has not yet been dem- onstrated.
