Paul a Prisoner before Festus and
Agrippa.-Acts 25:6-12; Chap. 26.
Golden Text know whom l have
believed, and am persuaded that he
is able to keep that which l have
committed unto him against that
day. 2 Tim. 1872.
Verse6. Who was this Festus re-
ferred to in this verse?
From the preceding five verses
what had the Jews requested Festus
to do?
Verse 7.-on what principal can
you explai nthe bitter hatred which
the Jews had for Paul?
VIII religious bigot. who is full
of hatred as these Jews were, stop
short of swearing to lie to accom-
plishhis purpose?
Should any Christian believe or cir
culate a charge against any person
that he has not got ample proof Of?
Verse S.--As matter of fact had
Paul, in any sense, broken any jew
ish law2
Which, at this time, were really in
the most unenviable situations, Paul
or his accusers, and why?
Verses 9-12.-When a judge or a
magistrate favors the prosecution,
and makes harsh remarks against
the prisoner during the taking of
the evidence, thus preiudicing the
jury, is such n man Fit for a Judi
cial position?
When a Christian is accused of
wrong doing, and is innocent, should
he insist upon his innocence or be pa-
tient and silent and wait for the facts
to speak?
Paul was no doubt wise in refusing
to go to Jerusalem, but was he equal
ly wise in not insisting that his trial
be finished at Caesarea, and in his
appeal to Caesar?

SUGGESTIVE QUESTIONS ON THE SUNDAL SCHOOL
LESSON BY REV. DR.. LlNS0TT FOR THE lNTERNA-
TlONAL NEWSPAPER BIBLE STUDY CLUB.

Chap. 2611-11.-Who was this
Agrippa and what had brought him
to Caesarea?
II q mans cause is just, will a
knowledge of all the facts always help
him?
What are the leading points here
outlined, of Pau's defense before
King Agrippa?
why should It be thought a thing
incredible with you that God should
raise the dead?" VS..
Was Paul any better when he per-
secuted and caused Christians to be
put to death than the Jews were then
in wanting to put him to death?
How do you estimate Pauls char
,acter before his conversion?
Verses 12-1S.-What points of re-
semblance are there between Pauls
conversion and that of a sinners's to-
day?
Why did Paul so frequently des-
cribe his conversion?
What was Gods object, as here
described in Paul's conversion, and
what is Gods object in every con-
version?
Verses 19-23.-Is IL possible that
some sinenrs get call from God fully
as marked as Paul's and yet refuse to
comply and go on in their sins?
What difference is there between n
man before and after he turns to
God? (This question must be ans
wered I'm writing bS members of the
club.)
Verses 24-32.-Why did Festus In
terrupt Paul and say he was mad?
Why did not Festus and Agrippa
both turn to God, seeing that they
were clearly convinced OF the truth
of Christianity and their need OF
salvation?
Why are not all persons Christians
who have heard the voice of God call
ing them TO repentance?

this tube Is infamed you have n
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when il is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in

1t was the gifted and lamented Car
mack who said:
THE South is land that has known
sorrows; it is land that has broken the
ashen crust and moistened it with its
tears; a land sacred and riven by the
plowshare of war and billowed with
the graves Of her dead, but a land
of legend. a land of song, a land
of hallowed and heroic memories.
To that land every drop of my blood,
every fibre of my being, every pulsa-

GREAT TRIBUTE TO GENERAL LEE,

One of the most generous tributes to
to the genius of Robert E. Lee as a
military chieftain recently came from
Col. Livermore, veteran of the Union
army and native of the State of Mas
sachusetts, at a recent meeting of the
American Historical Society, in which
ne said, Lee in his campaign against
Grant faced the Federal aImy in the
proportion of 60 to 100; yet kept his
army on the field, inflicting on the enc
my loss greater than his own entire
force, keeping to the Confederacy the
greater part of the State, and protect
ing Richmond through five continuous
campaigns of almost daily fighting. %
The Wilderness campaign alone, accord
ing to the speaker, entitled Lee to high
p ace in the list of the worlds comman-
ders.
Major Eben Swift, of the general
staff of the United States Army, closed
with brilliant tribute to the military
genius of Lee, whom he compared ia
vorably with Napoleon, as one who had
faced greater odds and remained on the
field with his army, where Napoleon
went down to crushing defeat. No
genius, he said, had arisen to initiate
the daring tactics of Lee (the cam
paigns of Won Moltke and Marshal
Oyama being more of the heavy ham
mer type) made famous by Grants con-
duct of the battles in question.
