o sunday school lesson november 15 lesson vii paul in jerusalem acts 21 2730 golden text thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard acts 2215 analysis i a compromise acts 21 1726 ii the result acts 21 2 to 22 29 iii before the saniiedrik acts 22 30 to 23 11 iv another plot acts 23 12-30- introduction after the riot paul began to set his face toward jerusalem and rone this section of acts 19 21 on forms a striking parallel to lukes record of jesus facing jeru salem and death everywhere is em phasized pauls farewell to his fol lowers 20 1 363s 21 5 every where premonitions cf impending dis aster but paul brave soldier of jesus christ determined bring to lie jerusalem poor the collection he had been gathering throughout the churches still held to his purpose his pathetic words to the cesarean chris tians are misunderstood if wo take break my heart 12 13 in the modern jeise of that phrase it really means melt away my resolution- he felt that the passionate grief of his friends might do what all fear hi consequences had failed to do- weaken his resolution to go on the he uttered that great word i am j ready not to be bound only but also to die at- jerusalem for the name of the lord jesus his friends recog nizing that thiswas no human obstin acy but the will of the lord ceas ed their protests packing up their luggage taking up our carriages pauls company set otv toward jeru salem and wvit might befall them there i a compromise acts 21 1726 arriving in jerusalem pauls appro tensions were relieved by the cordial welcome which he an j h companions received from the church leaders the latter were doubtless gad to get he resent although we have no record of their thanks for it next day be fore james and the others paul told of all the works which god had wrought through bin it was a great story but mearjy received pauls hearers above all else were zealous for the oid law he wjs once move confronted with julaistic christian ity ii the result acts 21 27 to 22 29 the result was quite unexpected toward the end of the week some jivs from the province of asia rec ognised paul in the temple and im mediately raised a hue and cry men of israel help here is the fellow who has been teaching men to ignore the law and temple luther cele brating the mass in st peters would not have caused a greater sensation the mob dragged pul out the priests quickly shut the temple diors lest the sacred precinct should be de filed with his blood rescued by ro man soldiers and given permission to peak he told in simple straightfor ward style the story of his life and his call to preach the gospel to the gen tiles the racial prejudice of the crowd could not tolerate the thought of a mission to foreigners and the riot breke out- afresh he was saved from a scourging only by asserting his roman citizenship not a little per turbed at this discovery the officer arranged for a trial before the san hedrim iii before the sanhedrin acts 22 30 to 23 11 the tiial before the sanhedrin end ed in another riot he had scarcely begun his defence when ananias the high priest angered at something paul had said had the prisoner smit ten on the mouth this was illegal and paul casting diplomacy to this winds rebuked him unsparingly this was contempt of court paul apolo gized seeing that no justice could be ex pected there he resorted to a clever ruse to divide his enemies some were sadducees denying a resurrection some were pharisees believing in it paul suddenly threw a bomb among them by saying i am a pharisee it is on account of the hope and resur rection of the dead that i am called to account this threw the crowd into a tumult some of the pharisees sided with paul 23 9 once more the roman power had to rescue and safeguard the christian missionary that night in prison what must have been pauls thoughts was his days work for his master done and the lord stood by him and said be of good cheer paul you have testified for me in jerusalem you must testify for me also in rome 23 11 paul was immortal unti hi work was done iv another plot acts 23 1230 next day a plot was discovered and reported to pauls nephew under a strong guard paul and his compan ions were sent off to felix at cajsarea the story is told so vividly even to noting hat lysias took the young man by the hand 23 19 that it must be the work of one who was there most probably luke himself so by means which must have been far from pauls intending cod was answjriig his prayer 19 21 by hurrying him on his way to rome the hand of science in crime detection

progressive kra an elderly man was discovered by a policeman his face was downward as ho lay crumpled in bloodstained drifts in his inner pocket were papers that identified him word was flashed to headquarters and robert paessler chemist and scientific detective took up the trail of the unknown slayer he learned that the murdered man had been alone the night of his death his daughter and her husband had spent the time with relatives in a neighboring towu during the even ing the soninlaw had left the house and had not returned until two in the morning he declared he had attend ed a movie aud produced witnesses to substantiate the story his alibi was perfect paessler searched the home of the murdered man by means of a special no telltale stains another wore a largo overcoat ocer his other gar- menu and then destroyed the coat the miuuto iraces of blood under his fingernails betrayed him a murderers first impulse is to wipe his hands clear of blood this he usually does on his handkerchief which he later destroys he invariably forgets the lining of the pocket in which the bloody handkerchief was carried other overlooked places are the materials scraped from around and under the fingernails la tho hems and seams of garments and around the nails arol seams ot shoes the first question the detective must answer is is it blood suspects will often declare that suspicious stains were made by paint coffee to bacco juice medicine or some other dark liquid in such cases the first re sort is to tho microscope which may reveal tho structure ot the red cor puscles in more difficult cases chemi cal reagents such a3 benzidine and sodium perborate aro added to solu- 1000watt nitrogen filled lamp with tious containing blood so accurately twenty times the power of an ordinary lamp he fouud a stain faint and over looked after studying the brownish round ed imprint on tho linoleum ot tho kit chen floor he identified it as the repro duction ot a rubber heel which tallied in every respect with that ot a shoo worn by the soninlaw about the nails was some dark matter that proved up on chemical test to be human blood a conviction followed in prance not long ago some boys found a body stabbed in a score of places wavy- blood near a wound on the shoulder at first the detective was deeply mystified but finally a possible ex planation occurred to him the mur derer had evidently leaped on his vic tim as he fell and kneeling oa his shoulder had plunged his stiletto again and again into the body tho parallel lines had the imprint ot the weave of the killers trousers in his victims do these chemicals react to the pres ence ot blood that a particle no larger thau a grain ot sand may be identified and blood taken from an egyptian mummy showed the reaction almost immediately the second question to be answered is is it human blood in deciding this problem rabbits come to the scientists aid first freshly drawn human blood is allowed to coagulate tho watery stravcoiored serum is then drawn y from the clots small quantities and showing an odd series of of this serum are injected at intervals parallel lines in the clotted j of one or two days into the veins of rabbits the rabbit is killed and its blood allowed to coagulate the serum is then drained away and preserved it is called antihuman serum and is carried in stock by biological supply houses suspicious stains aro soaked in a very weak solution ot common salt a few drops ot serum are added if the stains are human blood white precipitate forms a ring wihitt the seas that are salter would you be able to answer cor rectly it someone asked you which contained more salt a quantity of water from the atlantic ocean or an equal quantity from the north pea you would probably venture the sug gestion that they were both the same and you would bo wrong for the at lantic is more salt than the north sea this is one ot the interesting points that emerge from the report of the government chemist which lias been issued recently tho work of his de- 1 partment is very varied it may be asked to determine whether water from a certain source of supply is suit able for use in pithead baths or if a j suspected article of food contains i poison another question put to the depart- j ment was why certain films of nation- j al importance wero deteriorating aud how they could be restored and pre served this problem was tackled in a very thoroughgoing way with results that may make historic filni3 a much more permanent record answers blood among the suspects rounded i tube but if any other typo of blood his turn two taxidrivers stopped for a chat hows business bill asked one who was seated in a smartlooking taxi terrible replied bill sadly all this week ive hardly picked up a shil ling the other looked his taxi over well bill he said i dont see as how you can expect get fares with an old crock like that why dont you do what i do and go round to hell fit you up with a nice turnout like this and then youll get all the fares you want bill took the advice and started next day in a brandnew taxi after a week however the proprietor of the vehicle sent for him look here bill he said youve had this taxi week and done nothing with it whats the matter why dont you get fares dont people signal to you oh yes they dc replied bill i see em waving all right but they wouldnt wave when i had an old cab and im not taking any notice of em waving just because ive got a new one if a man smashed a clock could ho bo accused of killing time not if ho could prove that tho clock struck first up by tho police was one whose trous ers though carefully washed had a peculiar weave which matched the lilies on the victims shoulder in these cases the clues were clear ly legible often there are only single drops or tinjt stains dried particles in dirt or faint blood traces in garments that have been washed over and over again here is where the amazing discov eries and apparatus of the laboratory crime into play astonishing feats have been accomplished in tho detection of crime by both american and european investigators it was at the scientific crime detection laboratory at chi cago that i learned something ot their methods and of the instruments they use there they search for stains with special electric lighted magnifying glasses utilize testing reagents ot a dozen kinds carry on researches in the mysterious realm of colloid chem istry they work with rare colorless serums reacting strangely to the mic roscopic red discs that contain the hemoglobin or red coloring

distinguishing between types of blord has been evol ved through a series of researches at tho carnegio institution of washing ton dc dr edward t reichert and his associate dr s p brown have found that they can tell the blood of different creatures apart and dis tinguish human blood from that of other animals by 1ie shape and angle of crystals in the red corpuscles nor can a murderer safely claim that suspicious stains were mado by his own blood scientists have known for twentyfive years that all human blood falls into ono of four groups iu one instance where a suspect claimed a nosebleed had caused the stains the blood was found to belong to group four while his own blood fell into group two not only doe3 the blood itself tell a dramatic story but a number of crimes have been solved through ma terials found in dry stains a tiny thread matched a murdered maus pyjamas a torn fingernail led to a murder a minute bone proved that a murder had been committed and a single drop ot blood
