SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON "Paul Arrives in Roman Capital As A Prisoner By NEWMAN CAMPBELL Rome today {is one of the most interesting cities of the world. In St. Paul's day 1t was the center | paq of the word its most important city. Paul wanted to A to Rome and teach the gospel re. In to- day's lesson he indeed goes to Rome, but in chains. In constant peril of his life by violence in Jerusalem, Paul was saved by a Roman captain, and 'transferred, under strong nh Ra Bg yi 0 years of that time he was brought be- fore Festus, the new governor ap- pointed by Nero. At Jerusalem Festus heard of the prisoner lodged at Caesarea, and the Jews in Jerusalem asked that he be Drought to Jerusalem, thinking that they might have a chance to kill him if he came. Festus told the Jews that they could come to Caesarea and charge him there of Ws alleged wicked- ness. Paul was brought before Festus and the Jews from Jerusalem "laid many and grievous com- plaints against him." Paul defend- ed himself by saying that "Neith- er against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offend- ed anything at Festus was iliing to do the Jews a favor, so he asked Paul if he would go to Jerusalem and 'there be judged of these things before me?" Paul's answer was: "I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest. If I be an of- fender, or have comitted any-. thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die; but if there be none of these things whereof these ac- cuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. a J appeal to Caesar."

Since then, he said he had preached and a turning to God in "Damascus, Jer- usalem and all Judaea." Festus ipterrupled Paul in his discourse by saying, paul, thou ing . answered that he was not mad, but spake the very truth. He then referred Agrippa to the prophets, until Agrippa said: "Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian." Festus and Agrippa talked aside together, deciding that Paul had nothing worthy of death, but as So had appealed to Caesar, he would have to go to Rome. So Paul, who had longed to see the Eternal City, was to visit it at last, but in chains. He was put in e of a certain centurion, named Julius with other prisoners. The story o* the stormy voyage is too long to be told in detail here, but is a most interesting ac- count as written by Luke. They touched on several points, and at Sidon Paul was given permission to go to his friends After coming to a place called 'the fair havens,"" near Lasea, and sailing became dangerous, Paul advised the captain that it was not wise to go further. The centurion believed the master of the ship rather than Paul, so they continued the voyage. The vessel was so tossed about that they lighted it by casting freight overboard, and Paul re- ed them that they had not taken his advice when he cautioned them but that the &ngel of God had ap- peared to him, assuring him that no one would lose his life, but they would be cast on a desert island. It happened as Paul had said, but a]l were saved and the "bar- 'barians" on the island treated them with great kindness, and Paul was able to heal many sick. They stayed on the three months, and then took a ship and at last arrived in Rome. There Paul was allowed to live in a house of his own, with a sol- dier to guard him. However, he receive his friends, and he invited the prom- inent Jews as well as Christians to visit him. Many came, and some believed and others did not. "And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came unto him, preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Gora Jesus Christ."
