The "unlearn ed men." as the apostles were rail ed, had spread the Gospel through Judea and Samaria: now it was to be carried to "the uttermost parts cf the world." This required a spec ; ial trained, well qualified and fully; : endowed man. God always Las his' ! man ready when needed. Moses and! j Joseph are good examples; John the; ! Baptist, also. And when God need-! led an ambassador to the gentile; wo: !d. Saul of Tarsus had been in i training for ff'.eon years in Jeru-j fa km. living with his sister, who; was married and had a son: study ing in the school where Gamaliel was a teacher. He also had gradu ated from the Pharesaie School of Theology, with high honors, a very zealous and pious church member, who toed; his religion very serious until he became a fanatic. He did great missionary work for his church to keep it pure and clean, and in his zealousy vent so far as to con- ! sent to imprison those who differed ! with them, and even to consent to have them ki.led. His attitude to wards those who followed the "New Way" is pic fured as "breathing' t ureat cmngs and slaughter." (He had seen blood at Stephens' death and it had stirred his animal na ture to an unusual high degree). He seemed to be an untamed blood thirsty animal. If this man. of pas sion, learning and natural endow- merit a: leader could be brought! uiiaer control and subjection under i the yoke of Christ, and harnessed to! the Gospel Cltartot. what a power he woi.ld exert in furthering; the Kingdom of Christ. All the necessary potentialities were inherent in Saul of Tarsus. Now we come to the crisis in this man's life. His worldly training is complete. God knows what Saul can do. Will the grace and power of God be able to tame that wild na ture? Will it yield to Christ? Will it be easily brought under the yoke of Christ? The conversion of this man has j been the iHme of many a Sunday, school lesson, of innumerable dis- j courses, much discussion and manvj volumes by emine nt writers. So a ; j great deal of time need not be spent! on actaus in the. Sunday school i das Stress should be laid on the sentence: i God made 'lie is the chosen vessel." the choice, not Saul.
