TomorroW's Sunday School Lesson
PauIIBef0re His Judges
By. Rev. Edward Taber

He told Of his conversion on
the road to Damascus, and OF
the light from heaven at mid
day. He said he had not been
disobedient to the heavenly vis-
ion. The enthusiasm with wnich
Paul uttered his words caused
Festus to exclaim, paul, thou
art beside thyself; much learn
ing doth make thee mad.'
Paul denied the accusation of
Festus, sayin. he spoke forth
the words of truth and sober
ness. AT the conclusion of the
address of the apostle, Agrippa
said, Almost thou persuadest
me to be a Christian"
Modern commentators believe
that Agrippa spoke derisively,
and yet it is not impossible that
he was impressed favorably with
the words of Paul. For the
apostle spoke with fervor and
obvious honesty.
.Agrippa said to Festus that it
might have been possible to set
Paul at liberty if he had not
appealed to Caesar. That the
apostle had made good inn
preston was evident from the
Scriptural narrative that "they
talked between themselves, say
ing this man doeth nothing
worthy of death"
After the hearing before
Agrippa, Paul was taken to
Rome. There he was imprisoned
for j period, probably set at
liberty for a time, only finally
to meet q martyrs death, ac-
cording to what would appear to
be d most reliable tradition.
The defense Of the apostle
before Agrippa was typical of
the man. In him there was
nothing Of cowardice or dissimu-
lation. His life exempIified the
truth Of his assertion that ne
was not disobedient to the heav-
enly vision.

in a letter to both the chamber OF

The letter explains the time IN

a saving of hours being effected in
each instance and a saving OF days
in some cases.
