Festus'was a mach bet- ter man than ,Felix.'' After Foetas ,became Governor the Jews again sought to have Paul taken to Jeru- salem for trial, for there they had more power over the eourts, or could secretly assassinate their enemy. Paul saw that the only safe way for him was to appeal to Cae- sar, and have his case tried at Rome. Foetus at once granted the ap- peal, I. Paul's a,ddress before Festus and, Agrippa. -vs.. 1-23. Paul the pr's- aver, was standing in the midst o2 all the pomp and splendor of orien- tal royalty. Ae soon as Paul was told that he 'was permitted to speak far • himself, he at once Megan his address "with his usual polished courtesy." For the third time in the Acts we bave the story of Paul's conversion. 19. Agrippa -"Herod, II, Was king of the country. oast of the upper Jordan and the Sea of Gali- lee.

All the others had beea chosen from, the middle class. They are mentioned in our English Bible as "unlearned and ignorant men." (Acts Iv, 18), These terms cannot have been used as we now Ilse them, because persons who could write as they did could not properly be called ignorant men. They were not educated in literature ' and theol- ogy as religious teachers were ex- pected to be. The - Apostle Paul, however, was educated in both! lit- erature and theology'. The details of his life are too well known to be mentioned here, Above all things he was devoted to the Tews' religiop. He caused to be beaten!, imprison- ed and stoned those who belonged to the rising "sect of the Nazar- enes." This he did with a good con- science, believing that .he "ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth." With, a blank search warrant 'in his- pos- session for the finding and arrest of any who professed the name of Christ, he himself was arrested. - humbled, and brought into the ser- vice of Jesus. Agrippa was a descendant of Her- od the Great, and was of Jewish! stock. He was evidently thoroughly educated in the Jews' religion, for Paul says he was "expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews." He was also a nominal believer in the Jews' relig- ion; for Paul also says of him; "Be- lievest thou the prophets? I knosv, that thou believest." Yet he was a Romeo at heart. Compared and contrasted. These two mien' are now brought together by the providence of God for the first and last time. It came about, however, easily and naturally. King Agrippa visits Festus. They talk over their affairs, and mention is made of Paul's cas•e.•Festus ought to have sent him to Rome before this time, but could not do so for want of a .suitable charge. Paul's address is one of the most remarkable parts of the Bible. It is one of thoee spiritual guide -posts along the highway where one al- waeers stops, looks about him, thinks backward and forward and reckons. It bas manly noticeable features, and among them may be mentioned the following: 1. Simplicity. There is absolutely no attempt at rhetor- ic, learning or oratory. Paul bad tbe audience of his life, be would naturally, bo expected to make the effort of his life. On the contrary, he simply relates his experience, what be was and how be lived as a Pharisee, his standing in the Jew- ish church, what he did for that church and against the Cbristian sect, the wonderful appearance of Jesus to 'ham, its effect on him and the great and immediate change it made in las life, what his mission and work b!ad• been till then, and what he purposed to do as long as life lasted. It was all so simple, just as any pilgrim or saint would relate his experience. 2. Directness. He went directiy, to the point. There was no hesitancy, no wavering, no wandering. He -speaks of himself free- ly. to Festus personally, to Agrip- pa appealingly. His address goes straight from his heart to the heart of bis hearers. 3. Love. Paul had suf- fered much from the Jews. He .tad been beaten, imprisoned and stoned. They had in many ways tried to take his life, Same of fire very men who had done all this were present that day. When he had won his judges and the tide had turned his way:, na- turally he would have been expect- ed to have accused his enemies and pleaded for himself. His lorve for the souls of his enemies; however, rises far above any persoatal considera- tions. He did not even want guilty men to wear the chain that he wore as an innocent man. Almost.

Went Four Miles in Her Night-gown. and Fell Into a Pond. Miss Nona Reynolds, the 16 -year- old. daughter of Wenlock Reynolds, residing southeast of Washington, Ind., was missing from her bedroom when her parents arose this morn- ing, ancl at first it was feared she had teen kidnapped while asleep. Posses were soon seduring the coun- try. Ste was not found until late this afternoon, when W. H. Sum- mers located her in a straw -stack, asleep and chilled lay exposure. Her nightgown was covered with mud and her bare feet were scratched and! bleeding. Upon being aroused'l siho told a, most remarkable story of her thrilling ex- perience. She said that sloe retired at the u. o& hour, and does not re- member leaving her bedroom. Silo says she knew nothing of what she was doing until she, fell into a. pond of water on Jesse Billings' farm, four miles from her home. The plunge in the icy water awoke her, and site then macre a. desperate struggle to keep from drowning, finally reach- ing the hank in Oafety. Silo can only account Tor her ac- tions by saying that she believes she walked from her bedroom while sound asleep. Upon dragging her- self from the pond she started to return home, but had travelled only about a mile when she became ex- hausted. Boeing the stack of straw she, made her way to it. She slept until eunrise, but was then ashamed to try to reach home in scant attire, so she crawled be- neath the straw and was waiting for darkness when one of the search- ing party found her.

I saw Macdonald once again, up- on the banks of the Moddor, with a broken band of men around him, the shattered remanants of the Highlaud brigade, sullen and sore from defeat almost within the shadows that Cronje'a stronghold cast ; and none who saw him there, just out of range of Magersfontein's surly heights, could have foretold that he would live to die the death he 1 has died. He went amongst the men with eyes that flashed along the shattered ranks and woke the Highland pride. He diel not whip, them with words, but every glance). told the soldiers that he had hoped; for better things from men who wore, jtate Highland colors; and they knew what lay behind that glance, and ' braced themselves for better things; and in his hued the old brigade be- came once more the very flower of Britain's chivalry. Once. again I saw him, marching with Itis men across the Free State like a 'ban of fire, and wherever Mac- donald and his Highlanders ad- vaneed the ctac:nty fell back; for with Macdonald at their head the i3igltlauders were irresistible. No Boer commando could be got to front them when they handled their bayonets. Now he has gone; :i,nd all his faults and tailings, like his soldierly gifts, must be buried with hen.
