Sunday Sc h o o l Lesson
BY CHARLES G. TRUMBULL
(editor of The Sunday School Times)
PAUL BEFORE HIS JUDGES.
Dec. 2. --Acts. 24:1 to 26:32.
GOLDEN TEXT.
I was not disobedient unto the
heavenly vision. (Acts 26:10.)
Situations that the world would
call melodramatic fill these three
chapters that record Paul's experie-
nces before his judges. He had
been sent from Jerusalem to Caesa-
rea under a military escort, and was
now officially in the keeping of the
Roman Governor, Felix. There fol-
lowed a period of two years or more,
in which Paul was tried by the
Jewish high priest and others before
Felix; then came another hearing,
privately, before Felix and his
Jewish wife, Druilla; after two years
Felix was succeeded by Porclus Fes-
tus, under whom the Jewish sanhedri-
an and assassins again tried to get rid
of Paul by murder, and failed; an-
other trial by the Jews before Res-
ins, when Paul safeguarded his own
life by appealing to Caesar; then a
hearing before King Agrippa, who
officially visited Festus. The end
of this hearing furnishes an unex•
pected climax.
The Jews first accusation against
Paul, before Felix, is brought by a
professional orator, who begins with
typical fulsome flattery of the Gov-
ernor, and then tells a series of lien
about Paul. He calls hien "a pes-
tilent fellow, and a mover of sedi-
tion," saying he has profaned the
temple. None of these things was
true.
The Governor asks; Paul to tell
his own story, and he sloes so res-
pectfully and with dignity. He
quietly denies the charges, end chal-
lenges his accusers to prove anything
they have said, except the charge
that he is a worshipper "after the
way which they call heresy." But
he points out that his worship is
wholly in accordance with the law
of the prophets and that he worships
the God of his and their fathers.
lr
Governor .Felix was evidently im-
pressed by Paul. He reserved deci-
sion giving orders to allow Paul con-
siderable liberty and freedom to see
his acquaintances.
We are told that Felix had "more
perfect knowledge of that way," of
Christianity. Alone with his wife
Drusilla, a Jewess, "Ile sent for Paul,
and heard him concerning the faith
in Christ. Paul preached to this
little congregation of two in such
power that Felix trembled. He told
his prisoner to leave hint and come
back at some conventient time, Here
\vas a man apparently convicted of
sin, convinced that Paul preached
the truth about righteousness and
judgment, yet playing fast and loose
with eternal life and death. We
are also told that the Governor
hoped that Paul would offer him a
money bribe for his freedom, and 1
that he often sent for him and com- i
muned with him in that hope, which,
of course, never matertalized. Then
'Felix passes off the scene as another
Governor takes his place and power.
Three days after Festus took his new
province he went up from Caesarea
to Jerusalem, and the Jewish leaders
hurried to inform him against Paul.
They renewed their attempt to get
Paul sent to Jerusalem so that they
might kill him on the way. Festus
refused this petition, and told the
Jews that if they had any real
charges against the man they should
'go to Caesarea and accuse him in an
orderly way.
So the Jews tropped from Jerusa-
lem to Caesarea, heaped up their false
charges against Paul and were un-
able to prove any of them. Paul
declared that he had not offended at
all against the law of the Jews, nor
against Caesar. But Festus wished
to carry favor with the Jews, and
asked Paul if be were willing to go
to Jerusalem and he tried for these
(charges there.
Paul made the reply that a Roman
citizen had the right to make. He
reminded the Governor that at

SWORN IN AS MINISTER
1 Hon D, G. McKenzie, Provincial
Secretary anal Minister of Mine.; and
Nature] Ilesoure,':' in the Manitoba
Government, on Saturday assumed a
portfolio when he was sworn in as
1'rovin i d Lamb. Commissioner.
Caesarea he stood at Caesar's jutlg-
nlent seat, which w:'.:= the proper
place of trial; that he had done the
Jews no wrong; that proved he could
not be delivered unto them. And he
concluded; "I appeal unto Cas,.nr."
The Governor's reply, after the had
conferred with tho others, recognized
Paul's rights. "Hast the appealed
unto Caesar? tanto Caesar shalt thou.
g0.„
Then King Argippa, with his wife,
Bernice comes on the scene, in a
visit to Caesarea. The. Governor
describes Paul's case to the King as
a prisoner of unusual interest, and
the King's curiosity is around. A.
formal hearing is arranged, with
much pomp and ceremony.
Chapter 26 records Paul's masterly
defense before Agrippa. It is
of the great chapters of the Bibleone,
and should be read with close atten-
tion. Paul's courtesy. and respect
for a high dignitary of the Roman
Empire is notable. He has nothing
to conceal, but tells this life story
fearlessly. And he declares Christ's
resurrection from the dead, "the
hope of the promise made of God
unto our fathers." He describes his
mistaken zeal in persecuting Chris-
tians to the death, and then his sight
of Christ on the way to Damascuss,
and his instantaneous conversion.
Faithfully he reports to this Roman
Jewish Ring his commission, recei-
ved from the crucified, risen and
glorified Lord of glory and Son of
God, to carry the Good News of
of forgiveness of sins, salvation and
life .to the Gentiles. Because he was
not disobedient unto the heavenly
vision, but obeyed the Lord's com-
mand; the Jews wanted hint killed;
yet he was continuing even to that
day testifying that which the pro-
phets and Moses had foretold, "that
Christ should suffer, and that He
should he the first that should rise
from the dead, and should show light
unto the people and to the Gentiles."
What a glorious oration, in the
power of the Holy Sprit, it must
have been! How it must have con-
victed those earthly dignitaries of
their sin and their lost condition!
Festus could only cry out: "Paul,
thou art beside thyself; much learn-
ing both make thee mad." But
Agrippa spoke that immorial and
tragic sentence; ".Almost thou per-
sudest me to be a Christian." Ancl
Paul's last word was his pleading
entreaty that they should become,
not almost, but altogether, such as I
am, except these bonds.
' King and Governor agreed that
Paul had done nothing worthy of
death on of imprisonment, and that
"This Man might have been set at
liberty, if she had not appealed unto
Caesar."

the Canadian dollar has boon at a
discount but this week it rose above

bankers are anxious to recover the
gold lost to the States earlier this
year and further exports are pro-

DANGEROUS SEASON
ON GREAT LAKES
Canadian Government Recommenda-
tion Seelcs To Prevent Losses -
Close Season December 5 -Life
Toll Heavy In December of
Recent Years.
Sarnia, Nov. 16. -With the ap-
proach of the close of navigation on
the Great Lakes, mariners are hope-
ful that the Canadian Government's
recommendation that all grain ships
leave the head of the lakes with last
cargoes by December 5 will result
in lake vessels reaching their winter
havens before season of heavy
storms commences.
In recent years considerable loss
of life has resulted on the Great
Lakes just before the close of navi-
gation due to grain boats being
caught in the severe gales which
sweep the lakes at this period of the
year. There are 560 steamers at
present in active service on the lake
with crews consisting of more than
20,000 »en.
In the past 33 years, 62 steamer's
have succumbed to violent gales, and
it is hoped the recommendation of
federal authorities concerning an
earlier cessation of marine activities
this year will see close of navigation
without further loss of life. Since
1905 only two years, 1921 and 1925,
have passed without a major shipping
loss. There has already been one
marine disaster this year. The Owen
Sound Transportation steamer Man-
also foundered in Georgian Bay with
a loss of 18 lives, but this was at-
tributed more to faulty construction
and ballasting than the heavy seas
in which it became a victim.
Large Toll.
The big storm of 1913 took a
large toll, 10 boats in all sinking.
Among the 10 was the Charles S.
Prle , for many months the "mys-
tery ship of Lake Huron." The
Price turned completely over near
Point Edward, and her identity was
concealed for a long time, Divers
finally identified her. All members
of the crew perished.
In 1918, fate reached out and
grasped the Chester Congdon, 10,-
400 tons. The Congdon was one of
the largest steel bulk freighters ever
lost on the lakes. The Hanna, of
the stone tonnage, followed her to
a watery grave in the following
year.
Hidden in the depths of Lake Su-
perior is the steamer lialmoops,
which sank in the disastrous storm
of December 6-7-8, last year On
the first day of the storm the tial-
snoops either foundered in the Lake
Superior or was broken to pieces on
the "Graveyard of the Lakes" Isle
Royal. Several bodies of her crew
were washed ashore last spring, but
no trace of the steamer itself has
been found. In the same storm,
Jolly Inez, Altadoe, Agaws, Oglebay
and Lanlbton were wrecked.
Vessel Losses.

"Once upon a time there were
sixty foxes who didn't wear pantses
and didn't wear coxes, but they all
went travelling in nice big boxes."
A parody on A. A. Milne's famous
nursery rhyme Is inspired by a
shipment of sixty black and silver
foxes who passed througlthe Wind-
sor Street Station recently en route
to Switzerland from Calgary. They
were "under the wing" of the Can-
adian Pacific Express, who saw
that the animals got their diet of
raw meat regularly.
The rase of a motorist being
stricken with "buck fever" and put-
ting his car into the ditch in his
excitement has been reported from
the Nipigon district. While driv-
ing along the highway between
Nlpignn River Bungalow ?'ante and
Port Arthur the motorist was start-
led when a deer appeared on the
read before hint. Whether he tried
to chase the animal or forgot he
was at the wheel, he docs not state,
but when he rer'nvered leis senses
he and his carr were in the ditch.
Little damage was ?lone.

The column "Feed cost per cow"
represents the value of the feed
used. Butter was valued at 30 els,
per pound, and the skim -milk at 20
eta. per hundredweight. The value
of the calf was not included in Cie
income.
A glance at the above table will
show that the profit over feed of
the first lot was more than double
the profit from the last one; in
other words, it is more profitable to
feed one good cow than two of
average quality, and the use of con-
cenrates is more profitable in the
first instance than in the second.
The "feed cost per row" column
reveals that the feed cost increases
with the production. There is not-

Meg,.surprising is this, for can we
e•xnect that the cow. will manufac-
ture milk from nothing. After a1I,
it matters little that the feed cost
was greater if the crow returned
more profit.
In say ease, the nineteen cowls
whose average production is record-
ed here were fed according to their
individual qualifications, and each
one yielded a profit. It is easily
surmised that the feeding practices
of the first lot applied to the second
and vice versa might have caused a
deficit instead of a profit. There-
fore, the breeder must first know
the: qualifications of his cows and
them feed them accordingly.

Kicking a Tire is no way to test it!
ONLY a pressure gauge can ever give you a
true indication of inflation,
There is a correct pressure for your tires. It de-
pends on the size of the tire and the wheel load.
At that pressure your tires will give you maxi-
mum mileage. If your tire inflation goes three
pounds below that correct pressure you cut mile-
age from the life of your tires.
Use a gauge.
Better sill, drop in at a Dominion Tire Depot once a
week and have every tire inspected, and the pressure
checked. Let an expert search for cuts and bruises.
Often a slight repair will prevent a blow-out.
