Felix, Procurator oc irato of Judaea and Samaria, he had eb- Rained frOriginalleedom tthrough ek eteheinfluence of the mother of Claudius, the Emper- r, and he was the first freed man who ad held such an office in the Empire. The Roman historian, Tacitus, says of la that, "With all manner lerof 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 ould be anxious to see and hear one 'whose character had been so much discussed. V. 25. It is possible that Felix had taken some personal interest in the movement which was so .directly asso- ciated with the religions 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 he makes no mention of Christ, as was tho usual case in his sermons, but he reasons of righteouness, temperance i and judgment to come. The message I I had so powerful an effect upon Felix. that he had to bid Paul cease from his I preaching till another opportunity might arise. 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 pian (night have some special source of revenue. V. 27. Probably in A.D. 59, Porcius Festus took the place d ntly thevewano just case why Paul should not be released, except that it might cause unpleasantness among the Jewish authorities. Festus is not well known to us from secular history, but evidently he had a better sense of justice than his predecessor. Shortly after his weverwsarrival' at Caas not an j ,a ea he went up to Jerusalem, and was at once urged by the Jews to bring Paul for trial. He was suddenly recalled • to Ctesarea beeause of the visit of Agrippa, but he determined to attend to this case, and, on the day after his return, he takes up the matter of Paul's trial and suggests that Paul should consent to go up to Jerusalem. f "Wilt thou go to Jerusalem and stand for your trial before mom.?" Now Ro- man citizens were not compelled to take such a trial, and Paul is indig- nant over their subterfuges, and he • k t that was to prove se im- rtan in hislife,which 'Pa.YIS-�•-•^•-lYev' yrk.', SWORDFISH TRYING TO GET LOOSE FROM HOOKdisplays in their efforts to n Desert Pact Ends Ancient Feud in Arabia in An action snapshot secured in New Zealand.

THE TRIAL BEFORE AGR P , 19-29, V. 19. This is the most ceremonious i of all the trials which Paul endured. The pageantry of the state adds to its impressiveness. King Agrippa was the great grandson of Herod the Great and had early wor. the favor of the Emperor of Rome, who had 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 Jeru- salem.” Agrippa had for a long time desired to see and hear Paul, and he And his sister gladly embrace this op- portunity.
