putting the Bulgarians finally to pre-

LESSON FOR OCTOBER 15
APPEAL TO CAE8AR -
a'
LEMON TEXT— Acte S (w 1-1
GOLDEN TEXT— It Is enough for the
Isolate that he be ae hie teacher and
Ute servant aa bin Lard— Math 10:28
Teacher ought to urge their schol-
ars to read Chapters 24 25 and 28
thoroughly and with the use of a man
locate the places mentioned The date
of this lesson is A D 59 and it oc-
curred at fhe crisis of the events which
determined the way Paul should go to
Rome Nero being thq emperor st that
time
I Paul In the Prison at Caesarea
(rv 18) ' Paul was worn out badly
In need of rest and Is given dnrlng this
Imprisonment much freedom He was
accompanied by Luke his physician
and probably some of his other friends
For almost 20 yeara Paul had been liv-
ing a strenuous life crowded full of
labors that would have crushed an or-
dinary man Now for some consider-
able time ho had time to thoroughly
master and assimilate the truth which
he had been preaching the results of
which have come down to ns In the
form of letters seven of which at least
were written during and after the
events of this lesson His imprison-
ment also -gave many of his friends
opportunity to secure his counsel and
guidance The vindictiveness and
hatred of the Jews Is evident by this
new plot whereby they sought the help
of Festus 'against Paul The corrupt
Felix had been succeeded by a more
upright man Festus The scheme of
these eovnUes of Paul and of Jesus had
already resulted in giving Paul an op-
portunity to preach Jesus as the Christ
and the judge of men to persons who
otherwise tvould not have been within
the scope of his Influence Through
his persecution he had reached leading
officials and educated men of the Ro-
mans and of the Jews Banyan In
Bedford Jail and Luther In Witten-
berg Castle are illustrations of the
principle that "difficulties are the
stones out of which all God’s houses
srs built" u
1 Felix" on giving up his office to his
successor left Paul hound (Ch 24 :27)
though he knew he ought to be re-
leased hut by this vile Iniquitous act
he gave Paul another one of his de-
sired opportunities to witness for
Christ In high places The shrewdness
of Festus saved Paul from falling Into
the trap of the Jews for God was guid-
ing Festus ' and at the sam time
guarding Paul
II Paul's Appeal to Caesar (w 7-
12) The Jews mad many and griev-
ous complaints but without bringing a
single witness to prove their asser-
tions Doubtless these were the same
old Charges that had been brought be-
fore Felix through Tertullus two years
before and which now as then could
not be proved Paul was permitted to
answer for himself and he declared
that he had broken neither the Jew-
ish nor the Roman law Most of the
enemies of Christianity and of the
Bible "lay many and grievous charges
against it which they cannot prove”
In all ages the enemies of God and his
word mistake strong and confident
charges and vilifications as proofs
Paul’s life was absolutely dean and
he could say "I have not sinned at all”
(v 8 R V) In any of the directions In
which he was charged Festus as the
newly appointed governor desired to
do the Jews a favor literally desired
to gain their favor Therefore he said
to Paul "Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem
and there be Judged of these things be-
fore me?" This amounted to an ae-‘
qolttal of Paul on the charges that
would com under the Roman law
There remained only such charges as
would naturally come before the San-
hedrin and the question was whether
Paul would accept on Informal acquit-
tal from the Roman court ou condition
that he submit to a trial before his
own people on the other count Fes-
tus wished to throw upon Paul the re-
sponsibility of refusing to go to Jeru-
salem and to avoid displeasing the
Jews
Festus got a courteous but a' sting-
ing and well deserved rebuke from his
prisoner Paul was perfectly willing
to take any punishment he deserved
even unto death but having a clear
conscience he had no fear of Festus
or any man His appeal to Caesar
was " most unexpected It confused
Festus and baffled the Jews The Lord’s
own words on his midnight visit to
Paul in prison are hers suggested (23 :
11)
Festus could make but one decision
"Unto Caesar thou Shalt go” Paul’s
sincere sod open character was ths
mass of hla safety tad power
