The Point at Issue.

After an Introduction Of singular
grace Paul comes at once to the point
at issue. He puts the whole charge
into & nutshell His enemies had
thrown a great deal of DUST into the
eyes Of his judges in Lheir frantic eff
forts to get rid Of him, but Paul in a
single sentence goes straight to the
heart Of the matter, and afirms that
it is on account OF the hope held by
the Jews themselves that he is now
judged. 1t was the great promise Of
the Old Testament, viz, the coming
Of the Messiah. The whole Jewish ma
ton believed Gods promise of Mes
siah. and looked and lonsed for it.
And the only reason for their hatred
and persecution OF Paul was the fact
that he taught that Jesus Of Nazareth
whom they had crucincd was that
Messiah. ss ga3 g8a 5di GsF

At Csesarea Governor Felix kept
him two whole years IN military Gus

that period Felix, the governor, was

Appeal to Caesar.

At this preliminary hearing Paul,
who has come to the conclusion that
he cannot hope for fair trial in
Judea, falls back upon his rights as
a Roman citizen, and appeals unto
Caesar. The Pronunciation of the
single word Appello, was su1cient to
transfer all further proceedings from
the provincial tribunal to the En-
peror.
While the governor waited an op-
portunity to forward his prisoner, he
was visited by his royal neishbor
Agrippa, and his sister Bernice. Herod
Agrippa II. was a Jew. His father,
Hered Agrippa l., in this very city Of
Caecarea had died tragic death,
eaten alive by worms. He was the
grandson of that Herod who had be-
headed John the Baptist, and the
great grandson of the Herod who
slew the children Of Bethlehem ut the
birth Of Christ. Therefore, he hailed
with delight the opportunity Of seeing
and hearing the meat brilliant teach
er and preacher that christianity had
produced. Accordingly a brilliant
audience gathered in the judgment
hall, and Paul was given the oppor-
tunity of telling the story Of his con-
version to christianity and his sub
sequent rs years Of missionary SER

Built a Clubhouse.
Mr.. yanatta has always taken part
in student activities and holds several
offices in the class organizations. He
is popular with the students and takes
work in the gymnasium as well as
the 1S-year-olds. He jumps. wrestles.
and takes cross-country runs with the
best of them. His popularity is large
ly due to the fact that he built large
clubhouse for the students In his de-
partment. 1t is known as the farm
house." and is conducted on the Co
operative plan by the students in his
department, much cheaper than they
could board at private houses. The
house cost $4,000 and he rents it to
the students cheaply. He and wife
and son also live at the house.
Earl is frequently twitted by the
other students for permitting his faith
er to overtake him. but he answers
that his father should do SO, as he has
had practical experience in farming
before taking the theoretical side,
which is the reverse with him. as he
will have to get practical experience
after graduation. Mr.. Vanatta will
probably specialize in some of the
courses and become a teacher in
some of the branches Of agriculture
here in Columbia. His son, Earl, has
position with the State Soil Survey
as soon as he is graduated.
