Hint for Builders.
The factory Inspection department
of tho utate of Illinois has Issued a
gratuitous RuggeHtlon to architects
builders and factory owners recom
mending the Incorporation of an I
bonm Into the construction of oil
large buildings, supported by brackets
extending from the upper part of the
building by which scaffolds may be
supported for the use of painters;
sandblast cleaners ond others having
oecnslon to work on tho front of the
structure. The beam furnishes a track
for trolleys from which the scaffolds
are hung, ond Is a safety feature anil
a great convenience, saving a great
deal of valuable time usually spent In
ricslng up devices of one kind or an
other to support scaffolding. It al

To Owners of Old Plate.
The value of old plate Is seriously
diminished by methods of denning at
present In common use. The removal
of the surface by the process known
us "bulling" not only destroys the
beautiful blue color which alone conies
from age and lmndcleanlng. but In
great measure also - tho maker's
marks and owners' Initials, which sig
nify Us provenance and guarantee Its
commercial value. A certain lot of old
family silver In good condition wus by
111 luck given lately to be cleaned. It
is now unrecogtilzuble. nnd although
tho perfection of "shine," the muker's
murks of the seventeenth century are
almost undecipherable. Were these
nieces exhibited besldo soino of the
beautiful old silver now shown at the
museum, the extent of the havoc
wrought In them would be a surprise.
Both for tho looks of old plate nnd out
otregnrd for Its worth In money, own
ers should beware of modern "bulling."
' If sliver Is badly tarnished, one or
two applications of a metal polish used
for brass nnd copper will, with a little
patience, remove the worst of the tar
nish, when sliver polish should be
used. Camphor placed wtth silver
when packed will prevent tarnish.

PAUL'S DEFENSE BEFORE
AGRIPPA.
tESSON TEXT-Aets it (vr. t M-R).
GOLDEN TEXT-I waa not dlnobadleot
unto the heavenly Vinton. Acta 26:11.
It Is possible to use the Bible either
as a music box or a telmilnne. W
should let It speak the words of the
Lord Jesus to us and our pupils. This
lesson occurred probably A. I). .r9, per
haps In August, the day after Inst Sun
day's lesson. This was the same hall
where Agrlppa had heard the people)
calling him a god (Acts 12). I'aul,
the center of all Interest, Is chained
to his lloman guardians. The prisoner
has been vehemently accused as one
worthy of death and had appealed to
Caesar, but Festus, not being well ac
quainted with Jewish laws and cus
toms, could not make any dellnlte
charge against him before the lloman
court. Hence be turns him over to
Agrlppa, who was well acquainted
with matters of Jewish law.
I. Paul, the Preacher (vv. 1-23).
This vas one of the great occasions
In the life of this great man. I'aul
was preaching to a king and a woman
of great Influence (u sermon which
little changed their lives evidently),
und also to the coming ages. This
king nnd queen were wedded to their
Infamy. Cud had In mind on that
day an audience In comparison with
which that which I'aul saw faded Into
oblivion. Notice his argument. (1)
He begins with his own experience.
In these verses there are over forty
personnl prououns. He, himself, was
a living fact of the wondrous change
which Jesus wrought In the U.'e of a
man. Such testimony Is the most ef
fective teaching.
Men do not need so much light as
they do need heat, nnd Paul was
speaking out of the hot throbs of bis
personal experience. I'aul stood be-"
firre them a living miracle, nn Incur
nate argument We might tremble at
the doctrine of the resurrection. He
knew It was a marvelous thing that
Cod shotil 1 raise the dead, but that
change had been wrought In him
which was equivalent to the mlracls
of raising one from the grave.
Paul's plea was for the Itnman as
well ns the Jew. Considering his per
sonnl testimony, be declures that he.
Is a true Jew of the strictest sect (vv.
4-8), and as sueh he lived In the
"hope of the promise" as predicted by
Isaiah and Ianlel. That promise has
been fulfilled In Jesus, the crucified,
who rose again from the dead, and
I'nul adds, "I have seen him. for
which hope's sake, King Agrlppa, I
am accused of the Jews." (2) (vv. 8
l.r) I'aul tells the audience that he,
himself, was once a zealous perse
cutor of the Christians, more so tbun
those who are now persecuting him,
"being exceedingly mad ngalust
them." He then relates his Damascus
Journey nnd the conversation held on
the road with the risen Lord. Th
metaphor of kicking against the
pricks seems to be that the more you
resist the power that Is urging you on,
the more painful It will be. It is of no
use to resist. (.'!) I'aul shows the aim
and purpose of the religion of Jesus,
lie, the servant, Is to be o minister.
First tf nil he hud received forgive
ness. That forgiveness carried with
it responsibility of u twofold nature.
(a) to be a minister, literally an as
sistant, nnd (b) a witness (martyr),
the human side, a witness of the pres
ent ns well as the things which should
happen In the future, ns God guvs
him revelation during bis experienc.
(See II Cor. 4 :0; Eph. 1:18.) Second,
It turned them from darkness to light,
the darkness of Ignorance ond sin unto
him who Is the "Light of the World"
(John 0:!5), nnd from the power of
Satan, the Inveterate adversary of God
In all that Is good (see Eph. 1:21;
0:12; Col. 2:1-15; II Thes. 2:U) unto
Cod.
The gospel Taul preached was to
lead men Into the kingdom of God
that they might tecclve forgiveness
of sins und nn inheritance among
those who were fitted for that Inheri
tance, who were the sanctified. Fur
this cause the Jews went about to kill
him.
II. Aarippa, the Doubter (vv. 24-32).
Five ways are suggested ns ij the
reception of Paul's message. The
high priest's way wus to hate him and
oppose. Felix's way was "go thy way
this time. When I have a more con
venient senson I will cull." Fet'us'
way (vv. 24-21!) was to charge Paul
wtth madness. Much learning (litend
ly, many writings) wus turning him
mad, making blra a lunatic, u dreamer,
one who lived In the atmosphere of
wild Imaginings. Paul's reply wus
not harsh. "Most noble Festus" (Am.
H.) "I am not mad, but speak words of
soberness," words of eternal life nnd
spiritual life (of sound sense) that
were true and earnest Puul thereupon
appeals to King Agrlppa to coutirm
bis statements (v. 2-C). The craiy
man Is he who lives for this world
rather than for eternity. The devil
has cheated many a man out of eter
nal life by the method which Festus
followed. He has also cheated mny
a Christian out of th turgor life In
the same way. Paul's appeal to Agrlp
pa (vv. 27-20) Is very suggestive.
Some people believe that tho con
tents of the prophecies ore of no pres
ent day value, and some are trying r
break their force. Some declare they
ennuot be true, yet these prophecies
are Uie ones Uiat declare that "Jesus
Is the Christ, tho Bon of God." The
literal translation of Agrippn's answer
ik, "In a little thou persuntltmt n ta
s Christina." II Is sold taut A-rUi-iw.
