A mover of insurrections â€" Put- ting down uprisings was the special husiness of Felix. Hence this plea, would appral to him. Probably these accusers had gained infor- mation at Jerusalem of the trou- bles in which Paul had been in- solved with the Jews at Philippi, Corinth, Ephesus, and other parts of the Roman world. The sect of the Nazarenes â€"~ A term of reproach, signifying the followers of the man of Nazareth. 5. We have found this man a pas- tilent fellowâ€"He implies that. a thorough investigation has been made into the character of Paul, and that he is a. man of wicked life. 4. Further tedious unto thee â€" This is a bit of flattery, implying, as it does. such a. deep absorption in his discharge of public duties that he cannot waste many mo- ments iii hearing Tertullus. By thy providence evils are cor- rectedâ€"By the exercise of an un- usual severity he had brought about temporary reforms, but; they yielded worse fruit; later. 2. By thee we enjoy much peace -â€"-it is true that. Felix deserved some credit: for suppressing bri- gands and zealots when he first en~ tored office, but it would be diffi- cult to find any other praisaworthy feature of his administration. Tertullusâ€"If we judge by the name, this man was a Roman, cho- sen because of his acquaintance with the Roman law, and because of his ability to persuade Felix that the apostle was a, peril to the government. With certain eldersâ€"Only the Sadducee members of the Sanhe‘ drin would be likely to come. Verse 1. After five daystean- ing, probably, five days after Paul’s arrival in Caesarea. Lessofi 111.

No man can be a gentleman by the process of memorizing books of etiquette any more than he can find fullness of health by reading books on medicine and hygiene. The life of courtesy and the life of vigor and health have their hidden sourc- es. Every life» that realizes fullness and beauty has its hidden sources in the religious spirit. This is the ower anfl secret of the perfect ife. THE S. S. LESSON But; there are so many imitations, so many pretensions of religion simply because the thing itself is so essential to the life of man. So far from the religious life being one of lesser living, so far from relig- ion signifying the sacrifice of pow- ers, the denying of reason, judg- ment, and tl‘e will, the truth is that no life can be in any sense complete without its SPIRIT AND POWER. If there is one thing of which a men might well be ashamed it is the loss of the spirit and ideals of religion in his life. Those charac- teristics which mark the trained, developed, ordered, educated life are the attributes of religion. There is no fullness of life, no mastery of the spirit, no conquest of the ant of living without this. It. is not so strange that many should say they have no need for religion in their lives. To some it seems rather a mark of weakness than of strength, a. yielding to superstitious fear or to popular custom or a sacrifice of the inde- pendent judgment in favor of a scheme which has been devised by the few for the deception of the many. SECRET OF THE Religion Gives to All Lives the Spirit and Aim That Apportions to Every Part Its True Function “I will life up mina eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my '1m_lp.’i’~l’salms cxxi., l. There is a good deal that goes under the name of religion that one ought to be ashamed not to dis- own; there are types of piety that are but confessions of poverty of intellect, and there are forms of faith that are only evidences of cowardly and superstitious fear. Wherever religion means beingiless a man, meami dwarfing. shrifiking the life, then one dare not ac- kufwlefige allegiance to it. INTERNATIONAL LESSON, OCT. 17. Send “I. "a, “mm. m Dept w.

All Vthings . . . according to the law . . . in the prophetsâ€"This was an expression of loyalty to the 10-2l- Saint Paul’s defense. In reply to the threefold charge, that he had excited the people, had been 1- leader of the sect of Nazarenes, ‘and had tried to pollute the temâ€" ple, he declares that he had no seditious intentions, for he was found in the temple “with no crowd, nor yet with tumult” (verse 18); that the Way which he follow~ ed, and which was called a, sect, was a. perfectly legitimate body of Jews (14); and that they had brought no proof of an intended profanation of the temple (19). 10. Many yearsâ€"Six or seven. Cheerfully make my defenseâ€"The experience of Felix in the affairs of the Jewish people would qualify him to make a. fair decision. 8. From whom~This pronoun, as it stands, must refer to Paul. But it is strange that Tertullus should suggest the examination of Paul in order to find out the truth. In our version a verse has been omit- tea which appears in the Author- ized Version, which makes the pro‘ noun “whom” refer to Lysias, and this would be wholly in accord with verse 22 of the lesson. The old manuscripts differ very much at; this point. 6. Assayed to profane the tem- pleâ€"The charge that he actuaily did pollute the temple (Acts 21. 2’5) has been abandoned. The life of faith is living in loy- alty to faith in life’s besty in its higher values. This is the faith we need to nourish, faith in the righteousness of the universe, faith in goodness, truth, honor, and right as over and against lust and meanness, falsehood, and coward- ice. He only has the truth who dares be true to the vision he has, who lives in the freedom of his light. Who is sufficient for living with» out this spirit? He who lives the right life knows that he has struck time and tune with the eternal laws of the universe; he who lives for love finds the real law of life Seeking the good we fiI‘d lhe infiinite goodness ; the life and love that are the heart of all becomes a certainty to all of those who follow the light they have, who ‘do the ‘will of love. Religion means living life for the saks of life itself; it means find» ing a sufficient motive in living. it is the poth of View and the spirit in life th&t sets things in right re- lations, helrs one to find true values and to know the things that. are worth living for. to set the tools of life and the products of life in right relat‘iqns. A man can so give his hand to business in that he becomes no- thing but a hand: another can give his mind to intellectual probâ€" lems so that he becomes only a brain carried around on stilts, while yet another becomes a. stoâ€" mach and no more. But religion subdues all to a purpose great enough to enlist all the powers and tc. bring them to HARMONIOUS FULLNESS. The world is full of half-develop- ed lives; men and women who are competent in spots, as strong in some things as they weak in others, brilliant as to some of their ways and walking in darkness as 120 others; the man of affairs loses visâ€" ion, the philosopher loses practical sense, the scientist becomes an animated, soulless scalpel, and all for the want of an aim that would preserve balance and harmony 1n the life.

AL the end of two years Festus was called to his place, and the only thing that saved Felix from pun- ishment for cruelty was the influâ€" ence which his brother Pallas had with Nero. 25. He reasoned of righteousness, recalling to Felix his own extortion and abuse of authority; of self- control, which his relations with Drusilla, proved he lacked; of the judgment to c-ome', Which would be without, respect for persons. Little wonder that Felix was terrified. 27. Festus~A better man than Felix. The faith in Christ Jesus â€"â€" The belief that Jesus of Nazareth was the Mfssiah equctgd _by the Jews. 24.

Drusilla, was the daughter of Herod Agrippa. mentioned in Acts 12, and had been wife to Azizus, King of Emesa, from whom Felix had induced her to separate. It would be natural for her to have an interest in such a. man as Paul. 22.

Never Fail Cake-.â€"â€"A good plain layer cake that can he depended upon every time is made as follow : Rub oneâ€"half a oupful of butter and two cupfuls of white sugar to a cream, add the beaten yolks of three eggs, and one cupful of sweet milk. Next stir in three cupfuls of sifted flour, and when well mixed beat with a cake mixer or wooden paddle for several minutes. The more the cake is beaten the finer it will be. But the beating process should in most cases cease before the baking powder is added. Use two roundng teaspoonfuls of bak- ing powder. Fold the powder in with an upward and downward movement, and when thoroughly blended add the well beat-en whites ‘of the eggs in the same manner. lBake in a moderate oven for half 3,11 hour. The cake should be a rich brown on top when done. Either granulated or white coffee sugar may be used. If a soft cake is wanted use the latter. When a fruit cake is wanted use three cup~1 :fuls of light, brown sugar, four cup~ 'fuls of flour, two and oneâ€"half tea- l spoonfuls of baking powder, oneâ€" half a cupful of strong coffee, onel level tablespoonful of ground cin- namon, one cupful of seedless raiâ€" sins, and one and a half cupfuls of chopped dates. Flour the 'fruit and 'add last. Bake in two loaves for at least an hour. ~ Lady Baltimore Cakeâ€"One «cup- ful of butter, two cnpfuls of sugar, three and one-half cupfuls of flour, one cupful of sweet; milk, the whites of six eggs, two level teaâ€" spoonfuls of baking powder, one teaspoonful of rosewuter. Cream the butter, adding the sugar gra- dually, heating continually, then the milk and flavoring. next the flour into which the baking pow- der has been sifted, and lastly, the gztiffly beaten whites of the eggs, which should be folded lightly into the dough. Bake 'in three layer cake-pans, in a hot oven. To make the filling: Dissolve three cupfuls of granulated sugar in one cupful of boiling water, cook it until it. threads, then ,pour over it the stiff“ ly beat-en whites of three eggs, stir- ring constantly. To this icing add one lcupful of chopped raisins, one (:npfurl of chopped nut;neats»â€"pe~ cans preferred~and five figs out in- to thin strips. With this ice both the top and the sides of the cake. The following way of putting a, cake together never 'fails: Work the butter and sugar to a- cream, beat the whites and yolks of eggs separately, the whites to a stiff froth, the yolks to a cream, then add the yolksto the cream-ed but- ter and sugar, beat hard for five minutes, then add the milk. then the flavoring, next the whites of the eggs, and lastly the flour, fold< ing it in carefully. Just before ready to put in the oven add the baking powder and beat carefully for two minutes. Avoid stirring the cake after the sugar and butter are creamed, but beat from the bot~ tom up and over. Never allow the butter to get oily before creaming it. For small cakes the oven must be hot; for large ones only medâ€" erately so. When you take the cake from the oven do not remove it from the pan until it is cool. When you take it from the pan slip it on a plate and put on the icing. In making the icing a, shallow, glazed earthen dish should be used. Allow a quarter of a pound or more of the finest white sugar to the white of each egg. If you use flav- oring add it last. Put frosting on in large- spoonfuls. Begin with the centre and spread with a thin blad- ed knife, dipped from time to time in 'ice water. Let the frosting dry in a, cool place. TO PUT CAKE TOGETHER.
