So Paul went to Jerusalem and entered
the temple, after purifying himself ac-
cording to the Jewish law; but the Jews
cried out against him and would have
killed him, had not the captain of the
Centurions rescued him.

BY NEWMAN CAMPBELL

Today we review some of the most
stirring episodes in Paurs adventur-
Gus career The story starts at
Caesarea, where Paul spent happy
days at the house Of Philip, the
evangelist.
This man had four unmarried
daughters who had the gift of pro-
phesying. A prophet named Agabus
also visited at Philips house, and
while there he took Paul's girdle and
bound his own hands and feet, and
told Paul that that would happen to
him if he went on to Jerusalem as
he planned. Following that all these
friends united in trying to persuade
Paul not to go to Jerusalem.
Paul was adamant, however, and
answered them, "What mean ye to
weep and to break mine heart? For
l am ready not to be bound only, but
also to die at Jerusalem for the name
of the Lord Jesus Christ"
So Paul took some of the disciples
from Caesarea with him and went
to Jerusalem and was gladly receiv-
ed into the house of Manson of
Cyprus. Next day ne called together
all the disciples and told them what
he had been doing and they then told
him how the people in the city were

find that Paul had done anything
worthy of death, but being a politi-
cian, he was willing to please the
Jews, SO kept Paul bound, especially
as Paul had no money to give him
Thus two years passed with Paul in
prison. Then Felix invited King
Agrippa, ruler of some territory in
the northeastern part of Palestine,
to visit him and hear what Paul had
to say.
So Paul told his story, from his
persecution of the Christians to his
own conversion when the vision of
the Lord came to him, and King
Agrippa was much moved, saying to
him, almost thou persuadest me to
be Christian"
Paul having cited his Roman cit
izenship, however, was compelled to
60 to Rome to have his final trial, SO
he was put on ship, which had
many adventures, including Ship
wreck. Paul finally arrived in Rome,
where he was allowed to have his
own house and was permitted to
preach the Gospel for two years.

Paul defended himself, tellingof his con.
version, but so bitter were the Jews that
some vowed they would neither eat nor
drink until they had slain him. How
ever, his nephew told the captain of this
threat, and Paul was taken away
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-06-02

bitter against Paul, and had been
telling every one that he taught the
Jews that they were to forsake Moses
and the old Jewish laws.
They then advised him TO take
four men with him, and all five were
to purify themselves before going to
the temple, and to show in every way
that they were obedient to these
laws. So Paul did as they counseled,
but to no avail. AS soon as he en-
tered the temple there was hue
and cry and many laid their hands
on him, crying out that he was the
horetic. They threw him out of the
t mple and would have killed him
It for the chief captain, who toot
h soldiers and centuriOns and re-
scued Paul and took him to the cas-
t'e, and there bound him with chains.
Away with him.
Bound as he was, Paul stood on
the stairs and told all those present
that he was a Jew; how he had for
merly prosecuted the Christians, and
how he was converted. His enemies,
however, were unimpressed, and
cried out to slay such a man; he was
not fit to live So the chief captain
told his soldiers to bind him, and
"that he should be examined by
Scourging," which must have re-
sembled our "third degree" But Paul
said to him, "Is it lawful for you to
scourge a man that is Roman and
uncondemned?"

told the chief captain, who ordered
him looSed from his bonds and COM
manded the chief priests and all those
who accused him to appear next day.
When Paul was brought before the
council he commenced his defense by
using the words that are today's
Golden Text, 'Men and brethren, l
have lived in all good conscience be-
fore God until this day."
Here the high priest, whose name
was Ananias, told those standing
nearest to Paul to strike him on the
mouth, where at Paul said to him,
"God shall smite thee, thou whited
wall: for sittest thou to judge me
after the law, and commandest me
to be smitten contrary to the law?"
Then Paul told them that he was
a Pharisee, and that the Pharisees
and Sadducees disputed together
about the resurrection, and that he
preached it. Whereupon these two
sects got into such an argument that
the chief captain, fearing that Paul
would be torn to pieces among them,
took him again to the castle.
That night he had a vision of the
Lord, who told him to be of good
cheer, for as ne had borne witness
to the faith in Jerusalem, so he
would have to bear it in Rome.
Next day certain Jews banded to-
gether and vowed that they would
neither eat nor sleep until they had
taken Paul's life. But his nephew
heard them and went to the chief
captain, who ordered his centHrions
to take 200 soldiers, "horesmen three
score and ten, and spearinen 200, at
the third hour of the night" They
were told to take Paul to Casearea to
the. governor, Felix. So it was done,
and Paul's life was again saved:
Once more Paul made his defense
against, his accusers. Felix could not
