Russian Minister Expresses sympathy.

London, June SIT is officially stated
that Count Muravieff. the Russian for
eign minister. has expressed to the
Greek minister at St. Petersburg his
personal sympathy and his hope that
Greece viii be able to save the harvest
in Thessaly.
1t Is also understood that Germany
new advocates the Turkish evacuation
Of Thessaly, provided Greece gives a
satisfactory guarantee of payment IL
the indemnity.
But. there is stlll every indication that
Turkey means to remain In Thessaly
Several Turkish officials. accompanied
by their harems. have arrived In Thes-
sally from Constantnople. Edhem Pa
sha has ordered granaries to be pre-
pared for the storage of the harvest
and is using every inducement to get
the peasants to return and accept Turk

The powers have advised Greece to
accept Turkeys demand and TO raise
the blockade. Greece in return insists
upon some guarantee that Turkey will
keep her promise not to land munitions

tain whether the armistice difficulty
Will be settled.
1t is reported from Constantinople
that the peace preliminaries have been

| MADNESS Thus far Agrlppa and Fes-
tus had listened 10 Paul with profound as
tonishment. His sincerity, manifest in
his manner, must have excited their ad-
niration. His impassioned recital of Wis
ions, revelations and ancient prophecies
displayed his ability as "a scholar and an
orator But when he spoke of a Jewish
Prophet, who had been Cruclied. who
had risen from the dead, who was Divine,
who could forgive sins and tighten the
darkness of Jews and Gentiles, Festus
Interrupted him, eXc,aiming paul, thou
are mad" thinking that the apostles head
had been turned by his studies. Verse
30. With calm modesty and with becom-
ing respect Paul replied, affirming his
sanity and the truthfulness of his utter
ances. Verse 25). This incident illus
trates the attitude Of many persons Of lim-
ited spiritual insight to whom the narra-
tves of the Gospel appear TO be but the
Yagaries of disordered minds. Il Cor.

confirmation of his statements. Verse 26)

that any doubt should remain concerning
the history of Christ. He knew that
Agrippa was well Informed on the subject
He had read Moses and the prophets and
he had heard from many witnesses some
OF the facts related by Paul, Besides, the
wonderful life of the NaZarene was not
passed in an obscure corner. He was well
known to that generation. The story of
His deeds had been published far and
wide; and the lustre of His character and
the wisdom of His words had attracted
the attention of the good and and the
wise The appeal was therefore timely.
Agrippa sat in silence, thereby acknowl-
edging to all present that the apostles
utterances were true,
PERSUASION.-The question OF We
racity and reliability being settled the
thread of the argument was resumed at
the point where II had been broken, but
in more direct and personal manner.
"Dost thou believe the prophets?" Paul
Inquired of the king. Receiving no reply
he added, 81 know that thou belevest."

the question and amused at the en-

wouldest fain make me a Christian" The
reference was to Pauys intention and

Without hesitation the man of money

ceived his check for a thousand like it,
The knowledge of what 81 can actually
accomplish to relieve distress and bring
happiness to the poor may restrain our
hands from foolish extravaganza. In
these days, when honest poverty is crowd
ing about us, IT is nothing less than cruel
to throw too many of our dollars away for
purely selfish lLxuries. Extravagant ex-
pcnditures hold the germs of disaster. In
their full fruitage they give birth to effem-
nancy, lower oral standards, stimulate
envy, and incite social and political revo-

| feet Felix confined Paul two full years in
| the Herodian palace, sending for him at
| intervals in the hope of receiving a bribe
| for his release. On retiring from Office he
| left him bound. (Acts xiv, 2G-20. Fes-
| tus, his successor, a more honorable ruler

10 the ecclesiastical court at Jerusalem
| Paul appealed to Caesar Shortly after
| King Agrippa came to Caesarea to pay
| his respects to the new proconsul, and
| expressed a desire to see and hear the
apostle whose fame had gone abroad, The
opportunity was readily granted, and
Paul delivered an address, the latter part
of which and the incidents connected with
1t form today's lesson
FLDELITY.-Our lesson opens (verse 1g
with Pauls statement of his ruling motive
he had been Obedient TO the vision which
he hau received, an account of which had
been given. (Verses 12 to lS). Responding
| To a heavenly voice he mad preached first
In Damascus, where he was converted
(Acts tx, 1920 afterward in Jerusalem
(Acts tx. 2S-29), and thence he had ira
versed the coasts of Judea and gone forth
TO the Gentiles. (Acts xiii, l-O. Every
where his one theme had been repentance
Verse 2Q, the same as that of John the
Baptist Matt. ill, y, and of Jesus. Mark
1, 1j). At that time all men believed in the
superna tCral, and admitted the duty OF
all to heed every communication from
the invisible world. (Acts XIII, %. And
yet Paul's fidelity awakened the iil-will
of the Jews (Yerse 2D, because his vision
and preaching reflected upon them, and
made Jesus, whom they had cruci1ed, a
living and Divine Saviour and King
Hence they laid their hands on him in the
temple and sought 10 kin him.
TESTIMONY.-The apostle next calls
attention to the fact that the wicked de-
signs of the Jews had not interfercd with
his mission. The interpostion of Roman
officials (Acts xxi, 33), he regarded as
help sent from God. While a prisoner he
had continued his testimony for Christ,
speaking both TO great and small. Verse
22). In these addresses ne had simply
unfolded the predictions OF Scripture,
showing that what Moses and the proph-
cts foretold had actually come to pass
(John V, 39). He had endeavored to prove
that the Messiah was not TO be temporal
ruler, as the Jews supposed, but that He
would suffer rise from the dead and give
hight TO the people. (Verse 23). Here was
the very point of difference between Jews
and Christians. The former expected one
who would sit uDon the throne of David
and set up the government Of Israel upon
its ancient basis. (Acts II, 3O). The lat
ter believed that a spiritual prince in the
person OF Jesus had already come. (Matt.
ri. 20.

| PRAYER.-Undisturb by Agrippa 5
words Paul disclosed TO mis- hearers the
| deep desire of his loving heart. Verse
| 29). 81 would to God" he said, quoting
| from the revised version, that, whether
| with little or much argument not thou
! only, but also all who hear me this day,
might become such as / am except these
bonds" These were wonderful words. A
prisoner praying for the king, the gov
ernor and the princes, more anxious for
them than for himself! \ desire that
| they might share his spiritual blessings
without being involved in his sorrows
and misfortunes! Never before in Juda-
| ism or I'm heathenism had there been such
a display Of forgiveness and of magnanim-
ity unless 1t was when the Lord Jesus
suffered at the hands of His enemies.
duke xiii, SD. That prayer, put up with
fervent sincerity, closed Paurs speech.
He needed to say no more. His hearers
might find in 1t q full disclosure of his
character and life,
2NCE.-Agrippa and his com
pany saw that they had no common pris-
oner before them. One who could speak
as he had spoken, and argue as he had
argued-one who, filed with the exalta-
tion of an inspiring thought enriched
with the happiness Of a peaceful con-
science and sustained by an unfa.tering
faith. could pray for those who held him
in bonds-such an one must be superior
to any they had previously known. Ris,
ing from his seat the king gave the signal
for retiring (Ncrses 80 and 80. As the
company passed out the remark was made
on all sides that Paul had done nothing
worthy Of death or Imprisonment, and
Agrippa declared to Festus that he might
have been set at liberty, but tor his ap-
peal to Caesar. Verse 32). Thus en-
phaticaly the curious worldly minded
gave their testimony TO the apostles in
nocence.
CONCLUSION.--Thre chief thoughts in
closing: First. Here is a noteworthy ex-
ample Of ministerial faithfulness. Called
to be an apostle Paul steadfastly holds TO
his mission under all circumstances. RE
jected by his cCuntrymen, a prisoner OF
Rome, he makes no complaint, he asks no
release, but lifts up his voice for Christ
not fearing the king. Second, See the
beauty and power OF holy life. There
was no assertion Of goodness or inno-
cence-none was needed, The calm, pa
tient and heroic stand for principle spoke
more eloquently than words, carrying con-
viction to those who would have been
quick to condemn. Third, See how Provi-
dence works out plans Tor the spread of
the truth. 1t was eminently necessary
that the civil authorities should be made
acquainted with the Lord Jesus and His
people. Here Is the court preacher, by
long chain Of untoward events, standing
in the palace at Caesarea, saying what no
other could, serving his Master as truly
as though he were free.
