ST. PAUL BEFORE FELIX I 7 W TActs 2:10:81—Oct. & T Bt. Paul at Caesarea, the Roman Capital of Judea—His Trial Before the Roman Governor — The Charges Brought Against the ApostlQ—Hi_s Defense—The Doctrine of the Resurrection the Theme of His Preaching. The Roman Governor Interested .In ‘ the Apostle’s Teachings—St. Paul a Prisoner For Two Years. ob “Herein I also exeréise myself tQ have a con--Bcience void of offense toward God and man always.””—7Verse 16, . l;lLIX', the Roman governor of ™ Judea, received St. Paul as a prisoner. The Apostle’s enemies, the high priest and other Jewish rulers, hastened-down from Jerusalem to Caesarea, thirsting for his blood. They brought with them ¥ Roman lawyer, named Tertullus, whose knowledge of Roman usage and whose skilful pleading would, they hoped, enable them to prove that St. Paul was a dangerous character—a sort of anarchist. Felix was the judge. There were no jurors. Tertullus made his charges and confirmed them by witnesses from Jerusalem. :

. Shrewdly the Roman lawyer compilmented Fellx along the.lines of his efficiency in preserving the peace, in putting down every form of insurrectl(g and {n maintaining order. This coinpletely paved the way for the request that the governor should rid the I| s !and of an obnox- t I'l:E—f: -lous trouble-maker | G f', ah S\ —the Apostle. Wit- "Jv\ 9. ,{ = nesses were pro- ;’F ok * 3 -:\“;;}fa duced who ‘testi- [\t = (/N fied respecting the- “/{4” tumult in the Tem- | A ‘f‘ \ ple and ‘that in e the Sanhedrin. The %—fg;ﬁ‘@ / ‘ Apostle was charg- |5/ = ,‘&;j‘r L ed with being a B rlngleader of a sect Bt. Paul Before called Nazarenes; Pelia. .and the claim jvas made that he had caused trouble the whole world over. Tertullus charged that the prisoner was gulilty of sacrilege—that he had de- - filed the Temple; and the inference was deducible thqt the Apostle had. caused rioting within the holy sanctuary. Witnesses were produced to prove “ that these charges were true. e Felix motioned to the Apostle that he was at liberty to answer the charges. Then St. Paul opened his defense. He had come to Jerusalem, not to raise an insurrection, but to worship God after the Jewish custom; and no witness had testified that he was found in the Temple disputing or gathering a crowd. The charge was untrue. He did not do these things in the synagogues or anywhere else; and his enémies could not prove the things whereof they accused him. St. Paul’'s answer was logical and complete. Still the governor could not understand why there should be a commotion, Hence it was necessary for the Apostle to explain that the Jews had an antipathy against him merely because of his different religlous belief, not because of any wrongdoing on his part. : The Doctrine of the Resurrection. St. Paul avowed that he had not changed his Jewish belief—that he still held to the teachings of the Law and the Prophets, to the fundamental Jew- * ish doctrine of a resurrection of the dead; that he still had faith in the Promise that through the resurrection God’s blessing should ultimately come’ to Israel, and through Israel to all mankind. (Genesis 12:3.) Furthermore, ‘he disciplined himself to keep his conscience pure, free from violation of Divine and human laws. - The* Apostle proceeded to explain that he had brought alms to his nation, the offerings of Gentiles who had heard from him the Message of God's grace. Certain Jews from Asia Minor had found him purified in the Temple, but without cry or tumult. These Jews should have been brought forward as witnesses; or else those malking cHarges against him should have specified that 'wrong-doing they had found in him. Only one charge could they wgmke—that he had cried out, “Toughing the resurrection of the dead lam called into question!” Surely the governor could not think that in this there was anything akin to rioting. St. Paul’s testimony shows that he laid special stress ypon the doctrine of s the resurrection of 4| the dead, both of E{f' the just and of the .ﬂ- unjust. Alas, that @ <1 ‘in our day this doc‘3 trine has been M{é - i measurably lost | DSOS sight of! Few !W@) Christians ever -'-&,_‘ _ think of the resur'!gm -rection.- Few have ‘ “‘ ever heard a sermon upon this subSt. Paul in Prison. ject. Thié I 8 “because a great error has come in amongst Christian . people respecting the condition of the dead. Our Catholic friends tell us that nearly all mankind go to Purgatory, where for centuries they will undergo terrible suffer- - Ings, to. purge them from sin and prepare them for Heaven. Many Protes- ~ tant frfends tell us that they have not even this hope; that the great mass of mankind go to a Hell of eternal tortute, from which there will be no escape. - - We shall not quarrel with either party. Both views are too horrible to be - reasonable, just or loving. We prefer to go back to the words of Jesus and the Apostles, and to note that according to their teachings the dead are real- - ly dead, and that their only hope is, as the Apostle declares, a resurrection hope—a resurrection of the soul.—l Cor~ inthians 15:88. : o

. o Acts 28:1}-24.—Oct. 1. ; The Wrath of Man Overruled—St. Paul Before the Sanhedrin—The High Priest Rebuked—St. Paul as a General — The ‘Sanhedrir_t ‘ Divided .In OpinJiqn—Dlsse‘npion Amongst lts -. Members—The Apostle Taken Back = 'the\Castl%?-v_,-Encouraged by a Vision—The Conspiracy Against Him. Bt. Paul Sént to Caesarea For Safekeeping. - “They shall fight against thee; but they shall . not prevail against.thee; for lam with thee, Baith Jehovah, to deliver thee.” —Jer. 1:19. N the morning after the riot and St. Paul’s rescue by the Ro~man soldiers, Lysias in per ; . Dblexity called together the Jewish Sanhedrin, In order that they might pass upon the Apostle’s case, for by this time the commandant recognized that the point of dispute was a religious one, and that his duty was merely to preserve the peace. ‘fius St. ~Paul was afforded another opportunity, to witness the Gospel to the Jews—to their most influential Court of Seventy. His trying experiences were furnishing him with superior opportunities as a herald of the Gospel. _ As the Apostle realized the opportu‘nity granted him of addressing the leaders of his nation, he sought to thake. use of . . Hence the earnest- [H~ | ‘-\: ness of his counte- M(u‘? B SR Y nangce. “Looking A= steadfastly” at his %;Fﬁ, @}3 ‘ audience, he began N @‘@3‘s@@{s&. by reminding them ;!‘ J ﬁﬁs\r‘@m of his faithfulness RN/} as a Jew. He had in ! %‘R\ ever been a model VI" (\ vvfe\ citizen, never law- d‘ﬁ Ry less. He addressed w ‘ the Sanhedrin as “Brethren,” thus 8t Paul Before the ‘putting himself on, - Jouedh an equality with them, respecting both religious zeal and general leagning. Indeed, it is generally supposed that at the time of the stoning of St. Stephen, Sau] of Tarsus—afterwards St.,Paul—was a member of the Sfanhedrin.

His address was soofl interrupted by the high priest, who commanded those standing near the Apostle to smite him on the mouth—+a special mark of indignity and a protest against the words uttered. It is mot unfair to assume that the high priest felt his own course in life especially condemned by St. Paul's words; for, as the Master declared, “the darkness hateth the light.” Suddenly checked in his speech, the Apostle shouted, “God shall smite thee, thou whited wall!” The prophecy came true. Within two years the high priest was deposed. Within six years he met a horrible death, his own son being associated with his assassins, who drew him from his hiding place in a sewer and slew him. o

The term “whited wall” was applied to ordinary graves, which were covered with a stone bearing the inscription. These were frequently whitewashed, so as to be easily discernible, lest any traveler should tread upon them and be defiled. (Numbers 19:11-16.) The glistening white stone was beautiful; but beneath it was corruption. The strength of the symbol as representing hypocrisy is manifest. b Some of the bystanders dsked the Apostle, “Revilest thou God’s high priest?” St. Paul rejoined, “I wist not, brethren,” that he was the high priest; for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.” (Exodus 22:28) The Apostle never fully recovered his eyesight after having been struck blind on the way to Damascus. (Acts 9:8, 9; 2 Corinthians 12:7-10.) It is possible, therefore, that he did not discern the high priest, or else did not know that the indignity was suggested by Ananias. : .A Conspiracy Exposed and Foiled.

St. Paul perceived that the prejudice against him was such that no-speech of his could affect his hearers; for they were dominated by the high priest, whose lack of justice had found so early a manifestation. Like an able general, therefore, he made a flank movement and captured the sympathies of fully one half of his auditors, at the same time demonstrating that the doctrine which he preached was the logical outcome of the faith of the Pharisees, This he did b'y‘ shouting that he was being persecuted because of his belief in the resurrection. The effect of his shout was instantaneous. The Pharisees took his part as one who in some respects believed as : ‘they did, although =l they could not en- " __Lj Y dorse all, of his 7/ — "‘_ teachings. As bey | ;’é T tween the infidel l(T @ Sadducees and an \ \S' : \ out -of -the - way 7N _,, | Pharisee, they B ‘! i -“ I | \“ promptly espoused v-\, the cause of the FIET ORI latter. A tumult en- _‘./ _I/‘ o ?{’;4 sued, some seeking —Z/ to take the Apos“What Hast Thou to tl€'S life, and othTell Me?’ - ers endeavoring to o " protect him. Again Caesar’s soldiers intervened, and took St. Paul back to the castle. Meanwhile, Colonel Lysias was evidently: learning that his calm, self-pos-sessed prisoner was no common man. This change of attitude toward St. Paul was manifested in his kindly treatment of the Apostle’s nephew, who had brought word to his uncle that a band of forty men were plotting to kill him. When the commandant heard the lad’s story, he dismissed the boy, telling him to keep the matter quiet. That night he sent the Apostle to thg Roman governor at Caesarea, where St. Paul would have fresh opportunity for representing hig Master.
