 At the close of the remarks of Rev. Jewell appropriate talks were made by O. $. Jones, w, A, Hatley and others, which added to the solemnity of the occasion.

MY wife was what you would call
slightly 'riled' Sunday" remarked a
business man, and he seemed to en-
joy telling the joke, rs he called it.
you see, the idea or the plan of this
day and age is exclusiveness in wom-
ems apparel; that is, to illustrate,
when a merchant selects Ills fall
stock of women's suits, he selects
no two alike-each and every pur-
chaser has a monopoly in a color
or design, and enjoys this distinct
ion. My wife bought a suit last
week, and if | do say it, she looked
like a queen to me-, after we got it
buttoned and geared, and When she
asked me to go to morning service |
acquiesed gracefully and | didn't look
so rotten bad myself after a little
cutting and benzine work. Wen,
sir, we hadn't been in church long
before my wife showed signs of UNI
easiness and nervousness, and | was
really glad when the service was
over. Look at that, said my wife,
nodding towards a woman she has
always disliked. And then | under
stood. A strange thing had happened
two suits exactly alike had been
brought to town and disposed of. A
strange fatality. At first my wife
said she would never her
suit again, but when | pointed out
how handsome she looked in it, she
consented to wear it, after altering it
to some extent by changing the color
of the buttons"

w. Paul Before Festus and Agrippa.
Acts. 2J:6-12: 26:1-32.


Porcius Festus succeeded Felix as pro-
curator of Judea. On going to Jerusalem
the Jews informed Festus against Paul.
and besought the governor to order Paul
to be brought to Jerusalem. intending to
kill him on the way. Festus refused and
ordered his accusers to appear against
him at Cesarea.
Before a Roman court there could be
but one result Of such a trial. Paul was
not guilty OF any wrong. But to quiet
the Jews Festus asked him If he was
willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried
by the Jewish courts. At this Paul ap-
pealed to Caesar.
Later Agrippa II. king OF the country
east Of the upper Jordan and the Sea OF
GalIilee, came to Cesarea. with Bernice.
his sister. Festus told him of Paul. and
Paul was permitted to make his defense
before them 1t was memorable speech.
Festus was bewildered and Agrippa
amazed at his claims. Both were con-
WINGED that he had done nothing worthy
of bonds. But his appeal to Cesar made
it necessary that he should be sent 70
Rome.

III Corinthians II :2l 1910.
Paul had planted the church in Corinth
During his absence from that city his
enemies sought by every means to de-
stroy his influence. They insisted that he
was not genuine apostle, and that his
refusal TO receive remuneration for his
services was virtual admission of their
claim. Paul now throws aside all re-
straint and presents the evidence of his
apostleship. These are his superior an
cestry. his labors. his sufferings for the
cause of Christ: the revelations Of God.
In which he was caught up to the third
heaven, and to paradise. and was per
mitted to hear things which IL was not
lawful for a man to utter. So great were
his revelations that God sent him a thorn
In the flesh, a messenger % Satap to
humble him; but through all the grace
OF God was sufficient for him.

before him and before us all for imita
ton. Il have fought a good fight. I
