Having therefore obtained the hehl
that is from God, I sfand unto this
clay. The apostle had many friends
but they would have been powerless
to save him without God's help.
Testifying both to small and great.
God had told Paul that he was to
preach the Christ before kings (Acts
9:15), and here the prophecy was
being fulfilled; but the apostle was
just as ready to preach to the little
handful of women at Philippi. Say-
ing nothing but what the prophets
and Moses did say should come.
In preaching Jesus as Christ Paul
had had no, book of the New Testa-.
meet to guide him, and found a suf-
ficiency of Christian truth in the Old'
Testament.
How that the Christ must suffer.
Paul did not treed to go beyond Isa.
51:13-53:12 for this, And how that
he first by the resurrection of the
dead should proclaim light both to
the people and to the Gentiles.
Luke had perhaps already written his
Gospel, in which he had written the
prophecy of Simeon concerning Christ i
using these same words front Isa, 42: I
6; 49:6.
And as he thus made his defence,
Festus saith with a loud voice. By
his loud tones the governor signified
both his interest and his excitement.
The blessed trait has become so
familiar to us that we cannot realise
what utter nonsense it seemed to

ers—who heard it for the first time.
Paul, thou art mad; thy much learn -
Mg is turning thee mad, In Athens,
When Paul, on Mars' Hill preached
the doctrine of the resurrection, his
cultivated audience mocked at him,
though some of them wished to hear
more of the marvelously coniforting
but unbelievable; teaching (Acts 17:
32).
But Paul saith, I not mad, most
excellent Pestus; but speak forth
wordi of truth an, soberness. Paul,
though charged with bting crazy
(literally with having his head turn-
ed), gives a perfectly courteous re-
ply. Though his words about Christ's
resurrection might seem to be bbld
lies, they were the sober truth.
For this king knoweth of these
things, unto whom also I speak free-
ly. And Paul went on to speak even
more freely (verse27). The speaker
is too delicate to state how Agrippa
came to have so close an acquaintance
with the facts, namely, through his
father's killing James and imprison-
ing Peter. ...For I am persuaded that
none of these things is :hidden; from
him; for this hath not beendone in
a corner. The writer of the Acts
says in his Gospel (Luke 7:17) that
the fame of Christ's miracles Went
on through Judea "and all the region
round about" and when Jesus was
sent to trial to Herod Antipas, the
great-uncle of thiS Agrippa, that Tet-
rarch of Galilee *as glad because he
bad Jung wished to see him and hoped
that he would perform some Miracle
in his presence (Luke 23:7, 8).
King Agrippa, believest thou the
prophets? ...I know that thou believ-
est. Agrippa tad been educated in
heathen Rome, but he was a Jewish
king, and he Must haVe believed in
the great religious teachers of his
race.
And Agrippa said unto Paul, With
but little persuasion thou wouldest
fain make me a •Christjan. The king
probably spoke sneeringly: "Do you
expect, with a few sentences, to add
me—me, a king—to the company of
the, despised and obscure followers of
the Nazarene, dubbed 'Christians'?"
And Paul said, I would to God, that
whether with little or with much, not
only thou, but all who hear me this
day, might become such as I am, ex-
cept these bonds. Paul may have
been relieved from chains in prison,
but on this occasion he was certain-
ly fettered, and perhaps he suffered
all the time from this burden and
indignity. Paul stood there a free
man in Christ Jesus.
With this impassioned utterance the
hearing eit)SO4, inlet restus with his
guests withdreW talk the matter
over. They agreed that Paul had
done nothing deserving imprisonment,
still less death, and that he might
have been freed if his appeal to the
Emperor had not taken the case out
of the jurisdiction of Festus. That
appeal, however, was providential,
for it brought Paul to Rome where
he had longed to go, and brought
him there in s'uc'h a way as to give
him a chance to speak for Christ be-
fore the sovereign of the Empire him-
self. For that opportunity Paid would
have been glad to' lie in prison even
longer than two years. •
Obeying the H.eatrettb. Vision.
"The ends for which air men rive are
visions. Paul stand's preeminent a-
mong men of vision, because his vis-
ion was heavenly and because of' his
unswerving and passionate 'meat of

FOR MEN AND WOMEN
New Emigration Camp In Wiltshire,
England, (letting Into Shape—
Will Settle In Canada,
The breezy uplands reelect about
Ohiseldon camp, near Swindon, in
Wiltshire, will become the scene of
the first experiment in England in
the training of whole families for
life on the land overseas, says the,
London Daily Mail.
At the beginning of November last
fifty men, drawn from the ex -service
ranks and from those who are com-
pleting the last six months in the ser-
vice, with their wives and children,
moved Into the camp, and in the
spring they will sail for Canada,.
So that they may be free tq learn
all they can about such matters as
milking cows, making butter and
cheese, and the care of poultry and
other live stock, the wives are to be .
relieved of most domestic duties.
Each wife will have a cow and a pig
and a few fowls to look after.
The families will be catered for
-very much in the way they would be
on board ship, the commandant of
the camp, eel. H. J. Stibbard, ex-
plained. Barrack rooms are being
converted for their use.
A special dairy, a cowshed, and a
stock shed are being provided for the
instruction of the women and chil-
dren, for whom dairy and poultry in-
structresses will be available.
While the wives and children are
thus preparing for their future busy
life on Canadian farms, the husbands
will be learning how to manage
horses, cattle and sheep, how to
plough, and, in short, how to become
successful farmers.
The training centre is nearly 2,000
acres in extent and is equipped with
farm buildings constructed by men
who are receiving instructions in
hrteklaying, carpentry, and other
trades as well as in farming.
Col. Stibbard, who originated the
scheme as it is being carried out,
pointed out that each of the families
will go 'out to Canada to a farm of
160 acres. The husband will, in the
first instance, gain knowledge of lo-
cal conditions by working for one
year on a neighboring farm. A loan
of $1,500 will be granted by the Brit-
ish Government at the end of that
year for stocking nad equipping his
farm.
The British Legion has devised a
scheme to enable each man ultimate-
ly to own his farm by paying 15s.
a week. The Legion is also assisting
in the provision of the families' pas-
sages to Canada.

Motoring, the general desire for phy-

the credit of the reduced amount of
