( By NEWMAN CAMPBELL, r- AS WE read of the unjust charges brought against Paul, and his trials both before the Sanhed rin, the highest Jewish court, and Roman rulers, we are reminded that now and then we read in our papers how some person who has been sent to prison for a crime ha did not commit, but of which he was falsely accused, was re leased after serving some years behind bars. When Paul came to Jerusalem 'with his companions, he was given a warm welcome by the brethren there. Before the elders he told of his work among the Gentiles. Then the eiders sug gested that they had four men who had taken a vow of some kind and must be purified. As Paul had been accused of teach ing that Jews were to forsake the law of Moses, which was false, he should take these men and purify himself with them for seven days, ' Paul did so, but when the seven days were almost up, certain Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, laid their hands on him, rushed him out of the temple, and stirred uprall the people, ac cusing him of defiling the temple and teaching against the people ahd the law. The vriiole city was moved and thrown into an uproar. As they to kill him. The plot "was over heard by Paul's sister's son who told the Romans and the captain ordered a guard of 200 soldiers and 70 horsemen to escort him to Caesarea. Even there his Jewish enemies brought charges against him, Ananias, the chief priest, came to accuse him and an orator named Tertullus Felix, procura tor of Judea, was the judge. Paul, asked to speak in his own behalf, denied all the charges (of which, of course, he was inno cent). Felix did not condemn Paul, but kept him in custody, allowing him some liberties. After some days Felix even came with his wife, Drusilla, a Jewess, and asked Paul to tell him more of the religion of Jesus. When Paul spoke of righteousness, temper ance and judgment to come, Felix, who was an immoral man, trem bled with fear. When Festus came to Jerusa lem (of whom we know nothing except that he was Felix's suc cessor) the Jewish high priest asked htm to send Paul back to Jerusalem, so that the men who were lying in wait to kill him, might do so. Festus, however, ab solutely refused, saying he was going to Caesarea and they could accuse him there. , Again Paul was accused of sedition, blasphemy, etc., and Paul again denied all charges, | finally stating that he appealed ? MEM0RY VERSE "I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He to a We to keep that which 1 have com mitted unto Him against that day."?* Timothy 1.1*. were going to kill him, the chief Roman captain came and the beating stopped. Since he could not discover for what Paul waa being beaten, he had him taken to the castle, bound with two chains. I As he was being led into the castle, Paul asked the captain to allow him to speak to him. The man said, "Can'st thou speak Greek?" and asking Art thou not that Egyptian that caused an up roar and led 4,000 murderers? i Standing on the castle stairs, Paul made a speech to the people to which they listened in silence. 1 Then they demanded, "Away with him!" The captain com manded that he be brought into the castle and was going to have him scourged to make him con fess his crime. As he was bound and about to be whipped, he asked the centurion who was standing by, if it was lawful to scourge a Roman cltisen without a trial. That frightened the Rom ans and they loosed his bonds and turned him over to the church authorities. Paul's second trial, before the Sanhedrin, which ended in a ques tion of Paul's concerning the resurrection, set the Pharisees and the Saducees into a fight among themselves, forgetting PauL Some scribes bad the cour age to say that they could find no evil in Paul, and possibly a spirit or angel had spoken to him. I However, certain Jews planned to Caesar, and Featua aaid, "Hast thou appealed unto Cae sar? unto Caesar Shalt thou go." Some days later King Agrippa and his wife, Bernice, came to visit Festus in Caesa-ea, and Fes tus told him of Paul's case. Agrippa said, "I would also hear the man myself." So King ytgrippa had Paul brought before him, and listened to his enemies charge him. Agrippa asked Paul if he was al lowed to speak tor himself. So Paul told the king all about his early life, his conversion, and all that had happened to him. Festus thought Paul was mad, but Agrippa said, to Paul, "Almost thou persuadest me to be a Chris tian," and Paul answered, "I would to God that not only thou, but' also all that hear me this day, were almost, and altogether as I am." After they had left the council chamber, the king, his wife and Festus talked together, deciding that Paul had done nothing worthy of death, and that if he had not appealed to Caesar he might be freed. Shakespeare makes one of his characters say, "The evil that men do lives after them; the good la oft interred with their bones.". The opposite is also true, that the good men do Uvea after them, and think how all do am the ages, to the m intone of readers of this stoty, King Agrippa 1m rsmsat bered with affection. % ? i i Fanners Hardware and Supply Ca "Quality and Service At Reasonable Prlcee" Depot Street Diet GL 6-81(9 Firestone Home & Auto Supply Store Rill Cobb Dial GL (-3071 Kurt Gana JEWELER "Some-thin* from the Jeweler's Is ' Always Some thin* Special" Garrett Furniture Co., Inc.

The care or sorrow or need which brought them here is not important. It is important that ? the experiences of a lifetime have taught them that God is I their refuge and their strength. The beauty of faith shines in their faces, and from this devout worship they will go forth stronger in spirit. I But faith is not the exclusive possession of age. From childhood to the grave, man may find hope and comfort and peace in God. For faith banishes fear, overcomes difficulties and imparts new life. In these troubled days, men need religion more than ever before. In the presence of vast powers hitherto un ? known, we may feel frustrated and helpless: Human prob lems lie heavy upon our spirits. But God is a Rock of Refuge and Pillar of Strength to those who trust Him. Come to ? the House of the Lord. THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . H ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for H the building of character and good citizenship. H It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can- survive. There are four round reasons why H every person should attend services regularly I and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the H sake of his community and nation. (4) For the H sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support.
