YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
-Paul's Defense Before Fell*.
I. Paul Accused (vv. 1-9)
Tertullus, perhaps a Roman barris-
ter, formally made the accusation ac-
cording to Roman law. He began with
; flattery. He gave Felix the fullest
praise when he and all the people
knew that he lied; for Felix was one
of the worst governors—destitute of
morals and justice. He brought a four-
fold charge against Paul:
1. "A pestilent fellow" (v. 5). This
would Indicate a fellow utterly base
and corrupt—a plague.
2. An lndter of rebellion, a mover of
sedition (v. 5). This the/ hoped
would bring him Into conflict with the
Roman power.
3. That he was the ringleader of a
gect—a schlsmatlcal party—a heretic
(v. 5).
4. That he had profaned the temple
(v. *6).
II. Paul's Defense (vv. 10-21).
In this defense note:
1. Paul's frankness and courtesy (v.
10). Flattery Is entirely wanting. He
gives recognition of the fact that Felix
had been ruler of this people long
enough to be able to judye justly, as
the habits and ways of the Jews were
familiar to him; and then. In a digni-
fied manner, assumes that Felix will
render a just decision based upon the
facts of the case. _
2. The charge of sedition denied (w. j |E
il, 12). He flatly and scornfully de- ^
nied this charge, showing its utter ^
falsity, since the time was too short. 11|
being but twelve days since he went to | =
Jerusalem, and !>alf of that time had j |
been spent as a prisoner of the Ro- |g
l mans. His conduct while there dis- j j|
! proved It—he disputed with no man In i =
i the temple; neither did he make any
| attempt to incite the people in the city
I nor in the synagogue.
3. The charge of heresy (vv. 14-16).
This charge he met by a concession
and a- denial. He admired that he was
of the "Way" which they called heresy,
but clearly showed that it was in
keeping with the Hebrew religion: (1)
he worshiped the same God (v. 14);
(2) he fully believed In the same
Scriptures (v. 14); (3) he had the same
hope of a coining resurrection of the
dead (v. 15). He declared that he
made as the principle of life a con-
science void of offense before God and
man.
4. The charge of sacrilege, or profa-
nation of the temple (vv. 17-21). This
charge he refuted by showing (1) that
he had come all the way from Greece
(v. 17) to worship at the feast; (2)
that he had not come up empty-hand-
ed. but had brought alms for his na-
tion (v. 17); (3) that there were not
competent witnesses present to testify
as to his behavior in the temple (v.
19); by challenging his enemies to
testify as to his conduct in the council
(v. 20).
' III. Paul Before Felix the Second
Time (vv. 22-27).
I This is a sort of a sequel to the
trial. Wicked as Felix was, Paul's
manner somewhat won his favor,
though he did not release him. His
sentence was Indulgent imprisonment,
which kept him free from his enemies
| while under Roman protection. Felix
| sent for Paul that he might hear of
Christ from him. Paul behaved him-
self aright before these sinners in high
I life. He reasoned of righteousness,
j self-control and judgment to come, he-
| fore IJelix and his sinful wife, with
such power that Felix was terrlfie,!
' and declared that he woald hear Paul
; further at a convenient time. This was
i a most flimsy excuse for not changing

ST YOU FORGET!
(By Josie Craig Berry)
Uncovered heads and streaming eyes
Mark our last triDute to our dead.
We mourn for those brave souls who
died
That Justice might her mantle spread.
And side by side the white and black
Americans pushed back the tide—
Columbia, we plead the cause
Of those black heroes who died.
Give their black mothers their re-
wards.
Let Peace at home discharge your
debt;
Give their black babes a human's
chance,
We ask again—Lest you forget!

Vital Glands of Young Animals Said
To Renew Vitality.
Scientists of international promi-
nence declare that the vital glands of
young animals have remarkable pow-
ers for renewing vitality, toning up
the system and building up the vital
forces. Users claim they feel years
younger, many reporting that im-
provement has taken place in two or
three days time. These animal glands
are now being supplied to men and
women everywhere under a guaran-
tee of satisfaction or no charge by
the Glandine Laboratories, Suite 1566
No. 538 S. Clark St., Chicago, 111.
Thousands of red-blooded men and
women are now taking these gland
extracts to increase their vitality. If

This has been a week of much trou-
ble amonj our people in the courts,
espec'allv the cltv court. At one time
the violation of the city laws by our
people did not come up to its pres-
ent record. It is auoted bv the Mayor
the 98% of the city's crTme was com-
mitted on the East Side among our
people. Mv answer to this statement
is. probably the Mayor does not visit
the city court frequently. Let us as
a part of Oklahoma City, have less
business in the police court as vio'a-
tors of the criminal ordinances of the
city and thereby show the Mayor and
all others that this is a false state-
