Want and Fbr Sale Adis. 1 time, 215e, THE STORY OF PAUL C. A. M. Part IX. (Paul was bleeding, battered, bruis- ed and dazed when- he was rescued from the temple mob—but, by the eirne the soldiers had carried rhien up the second flight of stairs on the way to the castle, he had regained his breath and balance 'and he asked for permission to speak to the mob, He made his request to the centurian, and used the Greek language. The soldier was amazed and .aeked "Are you not that Egyptian?" An Egeep- tian fanatic had led 30,000 other Una - tics to Mount Olivet some time before this. He had told the follOwere 'thee ,he would 'speak a word end 'bhe wells of ;Jerusalem Would fail as dhey' had fallen at Jerico when Toshio, entered Paleseinel--flastead .of the walls fall- , ing, soldiers from the garrison, came out and massacred a large part cif bhe 30,000. 'The •Egyptian escaped, and the soldiers were on the ladkout for him). !Paul was indignant that he wars taken for the !Egyptian. With dignity, he said, "I am a Jew, born in 1Cilicie— May I saealc?" He spoke to bhe mob in Hebrew, isinipiy tdld his 'story— twenty years ago he had lived in Jer- usalem-4*re in the temple he had ceceived his call to go to the igentileel —Then in am angry hysterical 'frenzy the mdb would hear no more, • 'The centurian ordered Paul into. the castle. "There we willfind out ,what it is alt about. 'Tie him to rbhe whipping post --string him up with' 'thongs—we wili question him—and scourge him." When. bhe orders were carried out Paul 'casuaely inquired of sine of the soldiers if this 1.VWS the way they did things in Jerusalem. "Is it laNeful for a Roman to be whipped without a trial?" What ? IN Roman ? • The ceaturian Ilearried forward to ask "Are you truly aeRoman?" "With a great price I became a Roman, 1" Paul said, "I was Rot -nail „born!". . . The scourging did not take place. !Next day Paul was brought 'before the ,Sanhedrin. Here we get a picture of Sadd,ucee, hardaese 'and cruelty, They were the rulers in the Temple, and browbeat 'the people. The High Priest ordered his men to strike Paul across (ate mouth! In a sudden rage (not very much like Christi) Paul called the High 'Priest a "whited voall—.a hypocritel" and prophesied that God would smite him—sitting there to judge and try a 'man for breaking the law while ,he himself broke 11. . . at once Peed apologiz- ed for speaking so to the high priest, for showing a lack olf respect for the high priest's office. Then, knowing there wars no justice for himself, Paul appealed to the Pharisees; and the coet was in a hubbub*" of panic. So tumultuous did they become that LySias, the captain of the castle guard sent his whole comenand down to res- cue Paul and bring him back to the castle. • That ev,etiing, a plot was made by forty desperate characters. They took a mow that they would neither eat nor drink till IPaul rwas dead! But small boys have a way of drod'ging around and hearing many things they are not expected to hear—so it 'happened that Paul's young nephew heard about bhe plot—by nine o'clock that night a small regiment of soldiers '0400 infan- trymen and 70 cavalrymen) were tak- ing Paul for a night Tide out of Jeru- salem on the way to •Caesarea. The purpose of the ride was to save Paul, but the real reason was to save Lysias from danger of losing his office if anything happened to Paul. 11n less ehan two weeks, Paul, who had ieft Caesarea against the advice of his friends, was back in Caesarea again—a prisoner in Herod's palace. !Three (Pays later the court from ,jer- usarlem moved down to Caesarea. They brought a lawyer who was `rained in Roman legal procedure to lay the charges. But Paul denied all changes except the one, that he was a Christian. Felix! 'knew something about 'Cheistianity and knew the charges were false., Paul should have been acquitted then and there, but his case was laid over. 'In a Ifew days Felix—an adventurer who revelled in cruelty and lust; a man with a strong hand but a small simile called Paul to him to satisfy the curiosity Of his young Jewish wife, Drusilia.rShe was only eighteen but this was her second husband and her first husband was • still aliye . . . Paul knew these things and when he vas asked to give an 'address he began to speak on the moral teaching of Jesus Righteousness self-control, and judgment to come. Ft was nether eointed preaching, and Felix pretend- ed to be rterribly afraid He dismissed Paul aryl staid he would see him later. He saw Paul /frequently-11oz about a religious ransom, but hoping bo get some 'ransom money. Paul seems to have had money. Solme think his 'fath- er had disinherited him when 'Paul eecame a Christian but now Paul in- therited his, share of his father's estate. Some enemies of Paul suggest that 'this motley was the gilt ,Money dor the Jerusalem chareh from ehe lGentile churches. (So ..ifeelix came often ;to ,see Paul, For two years he kept coming— but Paul never thought af bcibirsg the judge 1 During (those two years .1Pul and (Luke were both busy. Many letters Were received, ,and many friends came to see !Paul. Paul's friends were real friends, Some 'people think thattithe letters M rEpheelians, Colossians 'and Pleileran were written 'from the jail in, !Caesarea (rather than from Rome a little later) — It is possible, but sit very probable. ILuke was eleo busy. He visited, alt the giaCOS where Jesus had been, saw the mother of Jesus, gathered alt the stories he could find or hear about jeeus—ithen, when. he wanted to write the story of jesns, To his rfiriered • he was ready—and also ready with Ile story 'in the early part of ,the Acts. 'Two years passed. Felix was suc- ceeded ,by Festus. Felix needed the frienderhip of the Jew's, so, 'to please them, he left 'Paul in jail. As soon, as Festus, came the charge against 'Paul was revived. The High Priest asked' for Paul itq be brought to Jeetesalern to be tried (intending to .have Paul kilied on tlie way), but 'Festus answered that 'Paul 'was in 'Caesarea, bleat Fest= was going' to ;Caesarea, so the High Priest'could bring 'witnesses. The court was a bit noisy (far lack of evidence), but Pesturs wanted to be diplomatic, so he asked if Paul would be willing to go to Jerusalem to be tried eherel Paul refused—wed, know- ing ehat even 'tieing a •Cheistian does not require needless 'suffering, he rap - pealed. to ICaesar. Festus was disappointed. He did not want the -first case 'whih he would send to (Rome to go without a charge. He was troubeed. In a few days Ag- rippa came on a social visit to ,Festus. They discussed the strange case of Paul. Agrippa asiked to see Paul—and ,Paulernade speech of defence. When Paul was gone back to his pri- son quarters again, 'Agrippa told Fes- tus, ehat, with all his knowledge Of the Jews, he could find .nothing in Paul worthy of chains, and that, had Paul not -appealed; to Caesar he might have been set free. However, since he had appealed to Caesar, to 'Caesar .he would have to go— To Rome he went—a prisoner in chains, but still, the missionary to the GenItilese KIPPER.
