LESSON X
A",PLUL PLEADS HIS OWN CASE
Acts 21:27-23:11; 24:10---2G.32
Printed Text—Acts 21;40-22:
4; 24:14-16; 26:19-23.
Golden Text.—I have lived be-
fore God in all good conscience
until this day. Acts 23:1.
THE LgSSON IN ITS SITTING
Time.—A11 of the events re-
corded in these six chapters oc-
curred A.D. 53 to 60.
Place.—Jerusalem and Caesa-
rea.
In the former part of chapter
21, we have an account of Paul's
reception when he caste to Jeru-
salem on the last visit which he
ever paid to the Holy City.
21:40. And when he had given
hint leave, Pau], standing on the
stairs, beckoned with the hand un-
to the people; and when there was
made a great silence, he spake
unto them in the Hebrew langu-
age, saying, 22:1. Brethren and
fathers, hear ye the defence which
I now make unto you, 2. And
when they heard that he spake un-
to them in the Hebrew language,
they were the more quiet: and he
saith, 3. I ani a Jew, bora in Tar-
sus of Cilicia, but brought up in
this city, at the feet of Gamaliel,
instructed according to the strict
manner of the law of our fathers
being zealous for God, even as ye
all are this day: 4. and I persecut-
ed this Way unto the death, bind-
ing and delivering into prisons
both men and women. The charg-
es against Paul which were made
by this multitude were absolutely
false.
Felix was a brother of the fa-
vorite of the Emperor Claudius,
appointed to be procurator in Pal-
estine, who had married the
grand -daughter of Antony and
Cleopatra. He arrived in Pales-
tine in A.D. 52. The cynical dis-
regard of Felix for justice and his
inordinate greed are both brought
to view in his treatment of the
apostle Paul. How easily and
courageously and manfully Paul
conducts himself before this Ro-
man officer. From a denial of
false charges he proceeds to- an
afrmatiorr of his faith.
427a11cs To Guilty People
14. But this I confess unto thee,
t?iat after the. Way which they call
a sect, so serve I the God of our
fathers; believing all things which
are according to the law, and
which are written in the prophets;
15. having hope toward God,
which these also themselves look
for, that there shall be a resurrec-
tion both of the just and unjust.
16. Herein I also exercise myself
to have a conscience void of of-
fence toward God and men always.
The apostle proceeds to tell Felix
exactly what had happened in the
temple; and then he challenges his
accusers to contradict with any
adequate evidence the statement
he has made. This was enough for
Felix. }Te would not himself give
a decision this day, but he would
wait for further evidence. After
certain days the apostle was sent
kr, and this time spoke not only
to Felix but to his wife Drusilla,
the youngest of three daughters
of Herod Agrippa I, who was mar-
ried in A.D. 53 to Azizus, the king
of Emesa, but who not long after-
wards was persuaded by this very
person, Felix, to leave her hus-
band and to join him as his third
wife. This time Paul did not offer
any defense of his actions, but
Preached a sermon of searching
power to these wicked people, on
righteousness and temperance and
judgment to come.
Once again there is no verdict;
charges have not been proved,
Paul is not convicted, yet he is
not set free. Thank Cod also,
Paul is not broken, nor is he now
in any mood to compromise. The
longer the trial goes on, the great-
er a man Paul appears to be.
Before Pettus and Agrippa
After two years Felix was suc-
ceeded by one Jorcius Festus, as
procurator of Judaea. The Jews,
still seeking the death of Paul,
tried to persuade Festus to send
Paul down to Jerusalem from Cae-
sarea, hoping to kill him on the
road; but Festus refused, insist-
ing that the Jews come up from
Jerusalem instead, and bring their
charges once more into the Re-.
man court, "which they could not
prove." There was nothing else
for Festus to do but to accede to
Paul's request, and sooner or lat-
er send him up to Rome for final
trial.
It happened about this time that
&l Brod Agrippa 11, king of Chaleis,
With his sister Berenice, came on
a complimentary visit to the new
overnor, and stayed some days.
Ii estus took advantage of this op:
portunity of consulting one better
informed than himself op the
points in question. Paul was
brought before Agrippa.
10.. Wherefore, 0 king Agrippa,

Dahlias, tomatoes, large cosmos
or nicotine, young shade trees, new
climbers, all benefit from some ar-
tificial support while they are get-
ting started.
For tall individual flowers or to-
matoes, 6 -foot stakes of wood or
steel are advisable and the plant
is tied to these loosely with soft
twine or raffia. Stouter and perhaps
longer stakes will be used with
shade trees, and correspondingly
shorter ones for the smaller flow-
ers. With vines getting ready

FILLING IN
It is a good plan, old gardeners
state, to use started annual flower
plants of the kinds mentioned
above for planting among tulips and
other spring flowering bulbs
which will be past their best in a
few more weeks. They need some-
thing to hide dying foliage. Then '
again quick growing annuals will
:always be useful for filling any
blind spots in the perennial beds
where Winter has been unusually
severe,
GARDEN PESTS
Garden insect enemies are divid-
ed into two groups,—those that eat
boles in the foliage and those that
suck out the juices. For the first
named, poison is usually applied,
while the suckers are attacked
with a burning spray which pene-
trates. Often when both are pre-
sent, a combination of poison and
something that burns, such as lime
sulphur and arsenate, gives the best
results. The damage from the bit -
and at Jerusalem, and throughout
all the country of Judaea, and also
to the Gentiles, that they should
repent and' turn to God, doing
works worthy of repentance. All
the years since his conversion had
Paul tried to do nothing but obey
this command from heaven, and
yet because of this obedience did
the Jews desire to put him to
death. 21. For this cause the Jews
seized me in the temple, and as-
sayed to kill me. 22. Having there-
fore obtained the help that is from
God, I stand unto this clay testi-
fying both to small and great, say-
ing nothing but what the proph-
ets and oses did say should come;
23. how that the Christ must suf-
fer, and how that he first by the
resurrection of the dead should
proclaim light both to the people
and to the Gentiles.
And what of the verdict? There
has not been a true official verdict
passed upon the apostle Paul in
all these different trials, and there
is no official verdict passed here,
but Agrippa and Festus both
agreed that this man had done no-
thing worthy of death or of bonds,
and might have been set at liiber-
ty, if he had not appealed unto
Caesar. Paul must go to Rome!
ing insects is usually quite appar-
ent, but the presence of the other
kind is only shown at first by a
wilting or withering of the foliage.
For sucking pests, chief of which
are the aphids or plant lice, spray*
with whale oil soap, a quarter
pound of soap to a gallon and a
half of water; nicotine sulphate,
or `Black Leaf 40', or any other
repellen} secured from a reliable
seed store.

BY ANNE ASHI EY
Q,—IIow can I stop the squeak-
ing of the poreh swing??
A.—Wrap a small piece of leath-
er, cut from an old shoe, around
each hook of the swing, or other
similar moving article, and it will
stop the squeaking.
Q.—flow can I give a golden
brown color to coffee?
A,—Instead of using cream in the
coffee, bring some milk just to the
boiling point, and pour it while
steaming hot into the hot coffee.
Use just enough of the milk to
give the coffee a golden brown col-
or.
Q.—How
goods?
A.—Leather can be very nicely
cleaned by rubbing with one part
vinegar and two barts linseed oil,
then polishing with a dry cloth.
Q.—How can 1 lessen excessive
perspiration under the arms?
A.—Dissolve one-half teaspoon of
ordinary cooking soda in a small
cupful of water, and apply. This
solution is very cooling.
Q.—How can I remove the burn-
ed edges of a cake?
A.—Use a fine grater and rub
lightly over the black parts, and
remove the crumbs. Place the icing
on the new surface and no apolo-
gies will be necessary. Do not put
Icing on a cake that is burned on
the edges.

Trained Men Obtained
Nearly 60 students recruited from
the departments of geology and
mining engineering at Ontario uni-
versities will participate.
Among others Dr. A. Brant will
conduct a geological and magne-
tometer survey east and west from
the producing mines in the Little
Long Lac Belt, near Geraldton in
the Thunder Bay district. This will
be the biggest geo-physical exam-
ination ever conducted by the de-
partment.
Dr. M. E. Hurst, provincial ge-
ologist, wil investigate recent de-
velopments in the Porcupine area
and examine properties in different
parts of the province.
Dr. Hurst said he thought the
1939 exploration program was as
large as last year, which set a rec-
ord for provincial survey work.

UNSUNG HEROES
Few people on duty in connection
with the royal visit to Canada are
working harder and under more
nerve-racking conditions than the
announcers who are describing the
various events for radio listeners.
Day in and day out these men fol-
low the royal party to detail the
ceremonies and other events so
they may become word -Pictures
surmounting time and space and
giving the royal tour the form of a
vast, vivid panorama of sound that
spans a continent.
These commentators work with-
out a script. Beyond a few notes
jotted down quickly on a piece of
paper, they are thrown upon their
resourcefulness as improvisatory.
They have a rough idea of what is
going to happen but mostly they
must describe the details, many of
them unforeseen, instantaneously.
And Their Majesties have been
winning Canadian hearts by doing
unforeseen and spontaneous things.
The radio commentator must be all
prepared for them.
He is also expected to bo a walk-
ing
alking eucyclopedia of information.
He must know something of the in-
tricacies of royal ceremony, the de-
tails of uniforms. He rarely knows
in advance what dress the Bing
will wear, whether he will appear
as an admiral of the fleet, full
dress or undress, field marshal or
honorary colonel. The commentat-
or must be prepared to describe at
a moment's notice the exquisite
and elaborate gowns worn by Her
Majesty, the Queen.
He is, in short, one of the unsung
heroes of the tour.
