After Feetue leonine- gov- ernor the Jewe agaia sought to have, Paul takeobojeruealern for trial, for "there tIley hag. mere power over the courts, or omelet secretly aesassinate their ementy." Their ohargee ageinst him were doubtless the same there that Ter. tullus brought against blin in our last loesoa. Peel saw that the only safe wee for him was to appeal to Caesar, and have hie ease tried at Rome. Festus at ono.) granted the appeal. But the gave ernor was in doubt regarding his prison- er. Paul lied appealed te Caesar and must be sent to Rome, and yet them is no well defined charge against Wan. Foetus aocordingly assembled his court and invited King Agrippa and Queen Bernice to listen to Paul's defence and assist in framing, a charge,."for," said Foetus, "it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crime laid against him." II. Paul's addrees before Festus and Agripea (vs. 1-231. Paul the prisoner, was standing in the midet cif all the o pomp and eplendor of Oriental royalty, As soon as Paul was told that he was permitted to speak for himself, he at once began his address "with his usual polished eourtesy," For the tilled time XII the Acts we have the story of the Apostle's conversion. "The oharge age/islet Paul and to which he replies is this: He has infringed on that Roman law which requires on pain of death that evony man shall adhere to his own na- tional religion. To show himself not guils ty of this chargee Paul maintains that ]xis is in fact the true Judaism, He first shows how strict a Jew he originally was aad how he perseouted the followers of Jesus (vs, 4-11); next, how he was eon - vented and commissioned by the emdible vesiese from above (vs. 12-21), and third, -that all this is embraced in the prophets and in Moses (vs. 22-29)." 19. Agrippa - "Herod Agrippa II. was king of the country east of he upper Jordan and the Sea of Galilee, He had a palace at Joru4a,1em, and was professedly a Jew, and was versed in Jewish customs. Fle was the son of the Herod Agrippa who slew James and imprisoned Peter. After the deetruotioa of Jerusalem, A. D. 70, he was dethroned, but permitted to re - tau his wealth, and lived at Rome un- til A. D., 100. He was immoral in life, but not unjuet in his rule, and has been °considered the best in the Heroclian family." Not disobedient -From first to last in Paul's career we find him ready to obey. Fleavenly visioa-The vieion which app.eared to no from heaven. 20. First unto ,.,. Demaseus-Hc be- gan to preach at Damascus immediately (Aets 9: 20-22),'but Soon went to Ara- bia. From Arabia he returned again to Dnmaseus (Gal. 1: 17, 18) where the Jews sought to take his life. Paul es- caped by night, being let down by the Wall in a basket (Ads 9: 2-3-25.) At Jerusalem..etc.-He specifies, as his four -fold field of labor, first, the two cities of Damascus and Jerusalem, then the whole region ef Judea„ end, lastly, the beatIsen world. -Lange. Should re- pent -He had sought to win men back to God, to reveal Christ and his coin- plete work for man's redemption, that they might repent, and turn to God. The doctrine of repentance was frequently preaehed by the apostles. It includes both ematrition and reformation. The truly repentant one is heartily -sorry for his sins, so sorry that he turns away from sin forever, and, if possible would undo all bb ha 'e sinfullydone. Confes- slope are Made, wrongs are righted, ancl the maul, loathing iteelf-, ories to Goa for Morey. 21. For these ca,uses-Because he had obeyed God according to his dis- tinct revelation, in a manner displeasing 01; the Jew's, they had sought to kill him. In the temple -Paul was worship- ping in the temple when the Jews seiz- ed. him, 22. 1 continne-It Was not by any neever of his own he had been preserv- ed; but it eves because God had inter- posed 'and rescued him. Witnessing - Bearing testimony, as he had berm com- manded. Small -To those in hunible life, to the poor, the ignorant, and the obseure. Great -The rich and noble; to knives, and princes, e,nd governors. He had thus stood on Mars' hill at -Athens; he bad borne testimeny before the wiee men of Greeoe; he had declared the same gospel before Felix and Festus, and . now before Agrippa. Saying none other • things -"He adds the supreme fact that all he taught was in exact agreement with Moses and the 'prophets. Thie fact utterly overthrew all the charges or hia accusers„ and'convicted theof reject- ing the law awl the oprophets, which was the ensile _alleged againet himself." 23. Should suffer-Mauy of the Jews over. looked oiesolenied the suffering character of the Messiah, and stumbled fatelly at the gospel because it required them to aceept a crueified Redeenter.-Hackett. The first, ete.-See R. V. "Christ was not the first to be raised front the dead, but the first who by his resurrection gave the promise of eternal life." Pleul /coveys attaches great importance to, the resurrection. Shove light -True light shies only through the risen Christ. 11. Perseeution. "The Jews. .went about to kill me" (v. 21). Obedience to the vision will bring perseeution. Them are thirty-six references to perseoution in Actts. Decause Paul showed Jews and Gentiles that they were sinners, and needed salvation, the Jews seized him seed attempted to kill hina (vs. 20, 21). With Lis oommission came the know. ledge that he must suffer (Acts 0. 16). Road the list of his persecutions (2 Cor. 11. 28.88). The world has not changed. The outrages in Armenia, the oppres- sione in Russia, the perseentione of young converts in parts of India, China toad Atrite, prove it. 111. Testignonx. "1 continue-witnets- ing" (v. 22). A. T. Pierson says, "Two words are conspieueue in the groat own- mite/ions `preach' mid `seittiess.' To preaels le to proolaise as e herald; to Witmees i to beetify from persorial know- ledge. The tares widely and eeseutially differ, yet complement cads other." Segue said to Paul, "I have appeared un- to thee for this purpese, to snake the,. e wits:fete (v. 10). "Thou shalt be hie witeiese" (Aete 22. 15). Neither fear of the rids nor oontempt Of the peen ehoulel voseekest our testinuotly.

'Paul wee true to bis commieeion, He was obedient to the vision. As A. J. Gordon euggeeted, This man obeyed the heavons le, vision, He at once entereel upon ser- vices wily a crucified will would have accepted. In the dcalleatiO eircle lee sup- planted the niexims of ?elfishness by the law of Ohriet; In polities snediated between poverty asid wealth; in phil- anthropy, put his shoulder under the workingman's yoke; pleeded the moue of the slave and again and again un- locked the boudetnan's fetters; iil so- ciety bore testimony against luxturious living; in the church, svarned solf-in. diligent Chrietians against pride of apparel and pride of position, telling them with tears they were enemies of the cross; in trials and hardships, wrought- constantly, enjoyine eontinuee communion with God. Thetruevision is not given to be 'gazed at iis wonder, or enjoyed as a rapture; it is to be wrought out in the life. The Spirit of God iSlumining the ward of God is a heavenly vision, ° The Ohristiao has visions of what it 'means to, 1, Be pure even as He (1 John 3: 2, 3), 2. Be holy even as He (1 Pet, I: 1S). 3. Be right- eous even as He (1 John 3; 7). 4. Obey even as He (John 15: 10), 5. Love even as He (John 13: 34; 15: 12). 6. Walk even as He (1 John 2: 6), 7. Live in this world even as He (1 John 4: 17). 8. Overcome even as He (Rev. 3: 21). And as they go on in obedienee all hese words will become, as one says of Spirit illumined oteripture, "bright with gracious memories and eloquent with spieitual associations." • III, An interruption by lisestue' ev. 24). 24, loud voice -The loud voice was the result of his great surprise at the apost- le's doctrine which Festue may have been hearing for the first Hine Beside tisyself--lee.stus considered hirn a vision- ary enthusiast, uebalanced in his mind..

The other view is that the words were. spoken sareastieally, according to the Revised...Version, and that he was not in theleast influenced by Paul's words toward. Christianity.

Pittsburg, Oct 1.18.- Presence of mind .-of an employee of the Rees Shipyards probably saved the lives of limey of the. Disciples of Christ, who were gathered there to witness the dedication of the Oregon, a mission- ary boat to be used on the Congo River, in Africa. At the climax of the celebration, when a photographer was about to ignite powder for a flashlight picture, a Man rushed through the crowd, herline aside those in Ins way, and cried out: "Wait a minute. There are 30 gallons of gasoline in the bow of that boat." During the tense moment the photo- grapher retained hold of the ig- niter until he realized the import of the warning, those- ofthe crowd of nearly 5.900 who were inside the shipyard held their breath in awful suspense, realizing that a twitch, of a hand might send some of theth to etesnity. Ari he slowly lowered the pan a sigh of relief followed the breath -stealing gasp they had expressed tlie moment be- fore, and the ceremony continiled. The boat, when completed It month hence, will have eost about $22,000, the greater part of 'which was contributed by the Oregon Christian -Missionary So- ciety. It will be taken apart for ship- nient to Africa by way of England. Its eapecity is 35 tons, with a carrying ca- pacity of about 100 people, with a speed of twelve miles an hour. et FOR SALE.
