that another church which bids promise
to prove as successful as the Rhode Is
land Avenue Church would shortly be
established.
With this end in view all of the local
Methodist Protestant pastors have gone
actively in the effort to make strong
church in the section. The visiting in
connection with the mission is being done
by Mrs. Weeks Of the Rhode Island Ave-

the Jews, called the Nazarites. and the
third was that he had attempted to pro-
fame the temple. These he well Knew
would be regarded as serious offenses by
Felix. At that time a designing man,
cultured and able as was Paul. might
have started an instruction that would
have rapidly spread through all Judea.
and one that might have jeopardized the
authority of Rome throughout the state.
Tertuilus and the Jews knew we'll that
these charges were baseless. They oe-
lieved as many had believed before and
many have believed since, that In such
a contest as this all means are legitimate.
The object was not truth, but victory.
But this was a contest in which the VIC
tory could not be won by oratory. II
was a principle in Roman Jurisprudence
brought face to face. and that the &C
cused should be permitted IL possible. to
refute the charges brought against him.
Paul's speech was a complete reply to
every charge cognizabie by the Roman
courts. 1t was clear, definite. unanswer-
able. There had been but twelve days
since he had gone up to Jerusalem FOR
to worship" There had not been time
to foment an instruction. And an In
surrection does not harmonic With d.
vine worship. But more, no act of his
had indicated any such purpose. He had
not been found in the temple d1sputinS
with any man, neither raising up the
people, neither in the synagOgues nor In
the city.
The second charge he met by acknowl-
edging that he worshiped God latter the
manner which they called heresy." The
Greek word used here is the same that
Tertullus uses-"the sect of the Nazar-
ties After this manner worshiped he
the God, which they themselves also
allow. that there shall be a resurrection
of the dead, both of the just and the
unjust In reply to the third charge he
challenged their proof. Certain Jews had
found him purified in the temple. but
neither with multitude nor tunult. Why
were they not present to testify in his
case? Or why did not these who were
present offer some proof Of their asser-
ton? Only once had his voice been
heard, and that was when in the council
he cried touching the resurrection Of
the dead" Felix was not wholly ignorant
of the teachings Of Christianity. Cesarea
was the home Of the pious Cornelius,
whose conversion to Christianity years
before must have deeply impressed the
entire community. Here also resided
Philip the Evangelist. And yet he dare
not decide.

Mas and his friends may have been sim

they were hopelessly blinded. The worst

mittee headed by Ananias and supported
by Tertullus, a Roman orator, appeared
at Cesarea with charges against the

Latin. it was important that one thor
oughly familiar with that language should
he their spokesman. Beside Tertullus was
conversant with the usages of the Roman
courts he was a trained pleader and was
we'll qualified to present his case skill
fully before the governor. He well knew
the weakness of Felix, and in his intro
duction he seized upon the one act OF his
official life that was worthy of praise
Felix had arrested and sent to Rome
noted brigand. and he had suppressed the
rebellion of the Egyptian imposter. And
this was lauded by Tertulius Seeing
that by thee we have great quletness.
etc. This was the trick Of the orator
and politician, for Tertullus knew that
Felix was one Of the most corrupt gov
ernors with which Judea had ever been
afflicted. His charges against Paul were
three. The first charge was sedition ana
