Paul was very 'm'ulc'h pleased to have an oppor- tunity to :'peak before Agriplpa the !Ici'n'g, for he was a Jew and would auvderstand better than Pesetas wlho was a Gentile. Wbthetaot ,he repeated- ly addreslsed Algrgp'p'a .as "'Lord," and `King" One Mig'htal'most wocuse Paul of "spreading it ocr a bit thick," but we are assured that it 'was• only the courtesy whvdli came of his earnest ness, and emotion. He wanted to win this Jewish king .for the Kiagdo'm of !C'hrist. Testis, not understanding the zeal of Pawl, d'eolaredthat "he was mad, and Agrippa smiled at his fervor. . Paul was to be sent to Rome, beat no charge was prepared against him. Julius, the centurion of the Alugust us Bland, was 'cwntlmissioned to' fake !Paul in chains to 'Rome. He probably belonged to She body of legionaries which had a camp at Rome ;on the Caeliatr 'H'i'll. These selected tro'olps were highly trusted and greatly hon- ored. They were the purveyors far the city and army, the messengers for ,the Empire -wide spy system, and the po- lice who brought vpolftucal ,prisoners to Rome. That was why it fell to Ju- lius to take .Paul to Rome. Other pris- oners were also under ,his care. rt was not usual to allow any once to accom- pany a prisoner to Ronne, but Paul was ill and needed the care of a doc- tor and friends, so Julius was Very pleased to allow Luke, the beloved physician, Co go 'along. The centurion was kindness itself to Paul. The Jews were very poor sailors: They had an uncanny fear of the sea. To them it was a mysterious deep. Davy Jones was at the bottom and cruel monsters inhabited the sea. The Jews had no navy, no merchant mar- ine, no safe harbor—and sue of the glories of heaven was that "there was no more sea." But they travelled. For money they would risk a voyage. Paul risked many voyages for some- thing greater than gold,—he was mis- sionary to the Gentiles, and loved his work. Several years before .Paul was sent :u Ronne he wrote that he had been in three shipwrecks, had spent 36 hears bobbing around in a "cork belt" n the cold waters ni the'Mediterran- .ean. We are not surprised, then, dur- ing this trip to Rome to find that Paul :s not eager for a late autumn voyage.: for those days it was counted danger- ous sailing between September '14 and November 11. After November id all the boats were supposed to be in their waiter ports. But sometimes ship - o hers will gamble with the elements to make an extra trip, and sea cap- tains (for a consideration) will push on another port before tying up for winter. The trip described here in Acts 27 and 28 is counted a classic among the stories of the sea,—and ,it was written by a landsman. I't will make good reading any time we want a short story --we should read it with a map of the Mediterranean beside us—the first day they had a splendid run, sev- enty miles up the coast. Nothing of. any importance happened for several days. They sailed north, passed Cyp- rus, turned west to Myra. The boat they were in was going home --up near the Black Sea—for the winter, At Myra they foumd a wheat freighter from Alexandria on the way to Rome, a very large boat with ac- commodation for 276 ,peo'ple and much wheat. !Sailing days were almost done. The captain, however, hoped to sail straight west to the south of Greece and on, perhaps; to Italy. But when they reached the open sweep of the. •Aegian Sea, the freighter was driven :South to Crete where the boat found shelter at Fair Havens. .The harbor '(if we can call it such) at Fair Ha- vens was only safe for north and northwest winds, so the captain wait- ed and hoped for a fine day when he could get to a good harbor at the oth- er end of the island. A soft south wind sprang up and Paul was the on- ly pessimist on beard. He advised against going, The captain' and the centurion decided to risk it. The freighter Made very stow progress along the south share df Crete. Then suddenly a terrific storm swept dawn from the mountains and drove the ship away past its port and out to the open sea. The crew threw everything overboard and shovelled out the wheat. They tied the rudder to one side to keep the boat from the sand bars on 'the African coast — and they drifted.

But Paul did not think that that meant that God .was going to do ii alone, Paul, the captain and the crew, the centurion and the soldiers would. 311 need to do their pant--unsellfishiy.
