THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. â€" A'l of the events re- corded in these six chapters oc- curred A.D. 5S to CO. Place. â€" Jerusalem and Caesa- rea. In the former part oi chapter 21, we have an account of Paul's reception when he carie to Jeru- salem on the last vUit which he ever paid to the Ho'y City. 21:40. And when he had given him leave, Paul, standinj: on the stairs, beckoned with the hand un- to the people; an J when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew langu- age, sayin},', 22:1. Brethren and fathers, hear ye the defence which I now make unto you. 2. .A.nd when they heard that he spake un- to them in the Hebrew !ang'-!--»ge, they were the more quiet: and he saith, 3. I am a Jew, bor.i in Tar- sus of Cilitia, but brought up in this city, at the fee: of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers being zealous for God, even as ye all are this day: 4. and 1 persecut- ed this Way unto the death, bind- ing and delivering into prisons both men and women. The charg- es against Paul which were made by this multitude were absolutely false. Felfac was a brother of the fa- vorite of the Emperor Claudius, ippointed to be procurator in Pal- estine, who had married the frand-daughter of Antony and Cleopatra. He arrived in Pales- tine in A.D. 52. The cynical dis- regard of Felix for justice and his inordinate greed are both brought to view in his treatment of the ipostle Paul. How easily and :our3geously and manfully Paul conducts himself before this Ro- man ofncer. From a denial of false charges he proceeds to an affirmation of his faith. Tallts To Guilty People 14. But this I confess unto thee, that after the Way which they call a sect, so serve I the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets; 15. having hope toward God, which these also themselves lock for, that there shall be a resurrec- tion both of the just and unjust. 16. Herein I also exercise myself to have a conscience void of of- fence toward God and men always. The apostle proceeds to tell Felix exactly what had happened in the temple; and then he challenges his accusers to contradict with any adequate evidence the statement he has made. This was enough for Felix. He would not himself give a decision this day, but he would wait for further evidence. After certain days the apostle was sent for, and this time spoke not only to Felix but to his wife Drusilla, the youngest of throe daughters of Herod -Vgrippa I, who was mar- ried in -A.D. 53 to Azizus, the king cf Emesa. but who not long after- wards was persuaded by this very person. FelLx, to leave her hus- band and to join him as his third wife. This time Paul did not offer any defense of his actions, but preached a sermon of searching power to these wicked people, on righteousness and temperance and judgment to come. Once again th^re is no verdict; charges have not been proved, Paul is not convicte<i, yet he is not set free. Thank God also, Paul is not broken, nor is he now in any mood to comprom.ise. The longer the trial goes on, the great- er a man Paul appears to be. Before Festu* and Agrippa After two years Felix was suc- ceeded by one Jorcius Festus, as procurator of Judaea. The Jews, still seeking the death of Paul, tried to persuade Festus to send Paul down to Jerusalem from Cae- sarea, hoping to kill him on the road; but Festus refused, insist- ing that the Jews come up from Jerusalem instead, and bring their charges once mor« into the Ko- man court, "which they could not prove." There was nothing else for Festiis to do but to accede to Paul's re<iucst. and soo:!er or lat- er send him up t*> Rome for iinal trial. It happened about this time that Rerod .Agrippa 11, king of Chalcis, with his s'ster Berenice, came on t complimentary visit to the new governor, ant! stayed some days. Festiis took advantage of this op- portunity of consulting one better informed than himself on the noints in nuestipn. Paul was brought before .Agrippa. 1J>. Wherefore, O king .Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: 20. but declared both to them of Damascus first. ChaufTeur of the governor-genera!, Thomas Southgate, is shown here at the wheel of one cf the cars he is driving throughout Canada as acting chauffeur to Then: Majesties during their Canadian tour. .Above the windshield of the~car can be seen the royal erect and behind it the blue light that will be used to illuminate it at night. How Can I? BV ANNE ASHI EY GARDENING Dahlias, tomatoes, large cosmos or nicotine, young shade trees, new climbers, all benefit from some ar- tificial support while they a.-e get- ting started. For tall individual flowers or to- matoes, 6-foot stakes of wood or steel are advisabld and the plant is tied to these loosely with soft tT.iae or caffia. Stouter and perhaps longer stakes will be csed with shade trees, and correspondingly shorter ones tor the smaller flow- ers. With vines getting :-eady to cling lo fence or wall, string is used or perhaps adhesive tape or staples where it is impossible to tie. FILLING IN It is a good plan, old gardeners state, to use started annual flower plants of the kinds mentioned above for planting among tulips and other spring fIow6.i-iag bulbs ^hich will be past their best in a few more weeks. They need some- thing to hid* dying foliage. Then again quick growing annuals will always be useful for filling any blind spots in the perennial beds where Winter has been unusually severe. GARDEN PESTS Garden iasect enemies are divid- ed into two groups, â€" those that eat holes in the foliage and those that suck oat the juices. For the first named, poison is usually applied, while the suckers are attacked with a burning spray which pene- trates. Often when both are pre- sent, a combination of poison and soiaethiag that burns, such as lime sulphur and arsenate, gives the best results. The damage from the bit- and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judaea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance. All the years since his conversion had Paul tried to do nothing but obey this conmiand from heaven, and yet because of this obedience did the Jews desire to put him to death. 21. For this cause the Jews seized me in the temple, and as- sayed to kill me. 22. Having there- fore obtained the help that is from God, I stand unto this day testi- fying both to small and great, say- ing nothing but what the proph- ets and OSes did say should come; 23. how that the Christ must suf- fer, and how that he first by the resurrection of the dead should proclaim light both to the people and to the Gentiles. .And what of the verdict '.' There has not been a true official verdict passed upon the apostle Paul in pll these different trials, and there is no official verdict passed here, but .Agrippa and Festus both agreed that this man had done iV3- thing worthy of death or of bonds, and might have been set at liber- ty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar. Paul must go to Rome! ing insects is usually quite appar- ent, but the presence of the other kind is only shown at first by a wilting or withering of the foliage. For sucking pests, chief of which are the aphids or plant lice, spray with whale oil soap, a quarter pound of soap to a gallon and a half of water: nicotine sulphate, or "Biack Leaf 40". or any other repellen- secured from a reliable seed store.

Trained Men Obtained Nearly 60 students recruited from the departments of geology and mining engiaeeriag at Ontario uni- versities will participate. -Among others Dr. .\. Brant will conduct a geological and magne- tometer survey east and west from the producing mines in the Little Long Lac Belt, near Geraldton in the Thunder Bay district. This will be the biggest geo-physlcal exam- ination ever conducted by the de- partment. Dr. M. E. Hurst, proviacial ge- ologist, wil investigate recent de- velopments in the Porcupine area and exatnine properties in different parts of the province. Dr. Hurst said he thought the 1939 exploration program was as large as last year, which set a rec- ord Tor provincial survey wo'k. RADIO NOTES AND NEWS UNSUNG HEROES Few people on duty in connection with the royal visit to Canada are working harder and under more nerve-racking conditions than the annouticers who are descriJiag the various events for radio listeners. Day in and day out these men fol- low the royal party to detail the ceremonies and other events so they may become word-pictures surmounting time and space and giving the royal tour the form of a vast, vivid panorama of sound that spans a continent. These commentators work with- out a script. Beyond a few notes jotted down quickly on a piece of paper, they a.-e thrown upon their resourcefulness as improvisators. They have a rough idea o£ what is going to happen but mostly '-hey must describe the details, many of them unforeseen, instantaneously. And Their Majesties have been winning Canadian hearts by doing unforeseen and spontaneous things. The radio commentator must be all prepared for them. He is also expected to be a walk- ing encyclopedia of information. He must know something of the in- tricacies of royal ceremony, the de- tails of uniforms. He rarely knows in advance what dress the King will wear, whether he will appear as an admiral of the fleet, full dre^s or undress, field marshal or honorary colonel. The commentat- or must be prepa:-ed to describe at a moment's notice the exquisite and elaborate gowns w\^rn by Her M.%3esty, the Que*D. He is. in short, one of the unsung Jicroes of the tour.
