PAUL, GOD'S SERVANT, IS FALSELY ACCUSED,
ARRESTED AND TRIED
Scripture?Acta tl:Vt?ZG:3Z.
( 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

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.

Into the House of God they have come for spiritual
? strength and comfort. 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. Plan to go to church regu
larly and read your Bible daily
