Paul Before Agrippa
Lesson Text Act 25:1-26:32.
Golden Text "I was not dis
obedient' unto the heavenly vl
sion.7 Acts 25:19. -
More than two years had elaps
ed since Paul had been tried be
fore Felix, during which time
Jewish (hatred for him had not
abated. ' As soon as Festus, the
new governor, went to Jerusalem
he "was besieged with accusations
against Paul. His accusers de
sired that he he brought to Je
rusalem ; for trial, intending to
lie in wait and kill him on the
way. restus reiuaea their re
quest, but agreed to giro them an
opportunity to accuse Paul if they
would go down to Caesarea. They
were unable -to -prove "anything
against him. Festus, willing to
please the. Jews, proposed to end
him to Jerusalem for, trial. Paul
rebasked Featus- for, this, declar
ing that he kaew very " well that
he was innocent. . Seeing that it
was impossible to "get Justice be
. tore Fes tua,: Paul made use of his
right as a Roman citizen and ap
pealed to Caesarr This surprised
Fes t us. His -failure to release an
innocent man ' placed ; ljim in . an
awkward, position " for he could
give no. explanation as to why an
innocent man should- go to Rome
tor trial. . ... . - '
I. Paul Before the King 25: 13-27
The occasion of (-his appearing
before - AgTippa -was the visit of I
Agrippa and . Berniee to Festus. I
Upon their arrival they expressed
a desire to hear Paul, whereupon
Festus told them of his perplexity.
So it was arranged that Paul be
brought before them tor-examination.
ThewgOBpei . should- be
preached to all ' regardless of
wealth or station in life.
II. Paul's Defense Before Agrippa

1. The Introduction w. 1-3

he now could speak and tell his
case to one who was able to fol

witnessing to him of the Savior, I straits, but it may obtain for him
ana perhaps leading him into the
light of God.
2. His Manner of Life vv.

;This he showed had been in
htrictest accord with the most rig
id sect of Jews. He possessed the
same hope, i. e., that of a coming
Deliverer, and reminded them of

his zeal would prove
v 3., His Supernatural Conversion
vv. 13-15
: Jesus . Christ appeared to him
on the way to Damascus .and Te-
vealed Himself to him
? 4. Jesus Christ Commissioned
Him for Hi$ "work vv; Ht8.
! He was sent unto the Gentiles
i. (1) To open their eyes so aw
fully blinded.
(2) To, perform the biassed
work of turning them from dark
ness 9 light.
; (3) To turn them from the
power of satan unto God.
- 4 That they might receive
forgiveness of sins.
i (5) And that they might ob
tain an - inheritance among the
saints.
5. His Consecration vv. 19-25,
As oon as he received his com
mission, pe ooeyed. Every man
should instantly obey the call of
God and devote his life to carry:
Ing forward the work entrusted to
him. The vigorous prosecution
of his work brought him ' into
conflict with the Jews, for which
they sought to kill him.
6. The interruption by Festu
v. 24. - ' . -.- -!v -
Seeing how thoroughly in earn
est Paul, was, Festus attempted to
account for it hy calling him a
crank, attributing it to the ravings
of an unbalanced mind
7. Paul's Appeal to Agrippa-
vv. 25-27..
Still - maintaining his courage
he appealed to Agrippa's knowl
edge of the work of Jesus and of
the prophets, for they have an in
timate connection

The Finest
The" limousine type funeral car,
such as we have, is the finest tyie
of car on the market. The progres
sive funeral directors of the coun
try are universal in their endorse
ment of this new type of vehicle.
The old carved hearse is anti
quated, it forms no part of Webb
service.
Whether Agrippa's answer was
a contemptuous sneer or not, it is
quite evident that his soul was
wrought upon. He saw the claim
of Christ upon him but was un
willing to yields Sad, indeed, that
u man should be so near to eternal
lire, and yet lost! Paul took
Agrippa seriously. His heart
longed that Agrippa, and ail con
cerned, might accept Christ and
be sayed.

Fear Day When Motors May
Displace Royal " Carriages
vt : .' ...v 1
LONDON, What would happen
to the : royal - carriages and the
coronation coach, should the motor
displace the horse, is a question
Londoners frequently ask. There
are only about 70 horses in the
royal mews now, whereas before
the war they numbered upwards
of 150.
. The cream ponies, which were
bred at the rbyal stud farm in
Hampton Court Park, hare gone;
so too have the handsome blacks
which had been the admiration of
the crowds on state occasion. Only
the bays remain. Many citizens
have ' expressed the hope that
horses would always be used at
national junctions.
The coronation coach probably
would remain at Buckingham Pal
ace. It has been used for six
coronations and is one of the show
sights to all favored visitors. It
is drawn by eight horses in red
and gold harness.
The royal train, which King
George and Queen Mary use in
traveling about England, is the
finest in the country. It consists
usually" of H coaehes of the Pull
man type, and two engines are em
ployed to draw it. Running al
ways as a special, the train gen
erally is on non-stop schedule
Full speed is never maintained
after 9 or 10 p. m., so that the
motion may be redused to
minimum and not disturb
slumbers of their majesties.

Gratuities'
GEN'OApnce famous' for his
tendency to -jgive lavish,, excessive
gratuities, the American tourist In
Europe during the last year or two
has fallen so far from grace in the
eyes ; of the horde of European
onderllngs, ho must live by tips,
as to earn a reputation for miser
liness i " . .' . .
So confirmed Is the new erdict.
according to Mario Signorini, of
Milan, train conductor, that con
ductors nowadays convict the
American on sight as a "black va
lise." which is railway vernacular
for "no tip." The tourist remains
in the shadow of this dreadful
appellation until he proves him
self Innocent.
But, Siguor Signorini hastens to
explain, the American is not real
ly ,a miser. Rather,; he becomes
one through a misunderstanding
and through what European train
conductors consider the machina
tions and misrepresentations of
tourist agencies in America and
England.
"These agencies," declares Sig
norini. "sell tickets to tourists on
the assumption that all expenses
are Included in the purchase
price. While they may not say
this, they intimate it and the tour
ists make up their traveling budg
ets accordingly. Many tourists
especially those of the middle
class who now travel in great
numbers, work out their economic
plans on this assumption. In some
