had held such an office in the Empire.
The Roman historian, Tacitus, says of
him that, "With all manner of cruelty
and lust he exercised the power Of a
king in the temper of -a slave. Felix
had married thrice and his present
wife was a Jewess, who naturally
would be anxious to see and hear one
whose character had been so much
discussed.
V. 25. It is po9sible that Felix had
taken some personal interest in the
movement which was so directly esso-
ciateci with the religious life of his
wife's people, but .Paul saw that such
interest was very superficial, and that
the real weakness of his judge lay in
his character. It is suggestive that

and judgment to come. The message
had so powerful an effect upon Felix
that he had to bid Paul cease from his
preaching till another opportunity

V. 26. - Here a further light is cast
upon the character of Felix. It was
no unusual thing for prisoners to
bribe their judges, and Felix hoped
that this strange man might have
some special source of revenue.
V. 27. Probably in A.D. 59, Porcine
Festus took the place of Felix- .Evi-

Paul should not be released, except
that it might cause unpleasantness
among the Jewish authorities. Festus

history, but evidently he had a better

His lot, however, was not an easy one.
Shortly after his arrival at Carsarea
he went up' to Jerusalem, and was at
once urged by the Jews to bring Paul
for trial. He was suddenly recalled
to Otesarea because :• of. the visit •of
Agrippa, but he•determined to attend
to this case, and, on the day after .his
return, he takes tip' the matter of
Paul's trial and suggests that Paul
should consent to go up to Jerusalem.
"Wilt thou go to Jerusalem and stand
for your trial before mel" Now Ro-
man citizens were not compelled to
take such a trial, and Paul is indig-

Luke makes it clear that Paul was
forced to this action only as a last
retort.

V, 19. This is the most ceremonious
of all the trials which • Paul endured.
The pageantry of the state adds to
its impressiveness. Ring Agrippa was
the great grandson of Herod the Great
and hair early wor. the favor of the
Emperor of Rome, who 1u d made him
ruler of the northern parts. of .Pales-
tine. "Clever, indolent and dissolute,
ho pursued a pro -Roman policy, all
through the Jewish rebellion of A.D.
66-70, and lived at Rome for nearly
thirty years after the fall of Jertt-
sateen." Agrippa had for a long time
desired to see and hear Paul, and he
and Isis sister gladly embrace this op-
portunity.
V. 20. Paul,gives a third narrative
of his conversion; telling of the heav-
enly vision that came to him on his
way, by which he was appointed to
be the herald of the gospel to the Gen-
tiles.. Ile aunts up the Christian life
in three stages: (1). repentance (2)
turning to Gel (8) a new life.
V. 28. He lays stress upon two of
the great doctrines of the Christian
religion, which had a very prominent
place in Paul's preaching, and which
ho found predicted in the Old Testa-
ment, namely, the crucifixion and the
resurrection. -
V, 24. Festus, with his Roman up-
bri :•ging, could not understand the en-
thusiasm and spiritual insight of this
strange prisoner and he fears that his
Mind has been unhinged by much read-
ing and solitude.
V. 25. In calm, eourteous, but de-
cided langue; Paul lays aside this
charge and appeals to King Agrippa
to testify to 'the fact that the whole
country bas heard of the fame of this
rtmvenreet.
V. 27. Paul knows that Ae'rippa
cannot deny the:val'dity of Old Teete-
mOnt prophecy, and he hops to be
able to make good this claim that
Christ is the only fulfilment of their
writings,
V. 28. But Agrippa will net com-
mit himself, and with a jest he turns
it all aside. "You think you can make
me a Christian all in a minute." The
meaning is not quite clear. It piny
signify' in a -short time, or by a short
axgument.
V. 29, Paul replies that, whether
by long or short argument, Ile .would
like to count Agrippa and all others
as members of :Christ. He would have
them like himself, 0 except for the
chains on his hands, or feet. '

June by the Cavalry Brigade (dis-
Mounted) and the Motor Machine Gun
