He explained to them how that Christ must suffer and then enter into glory. Later as they talked about this conference they said that their hearts burned within them. Few things have been done in the field of worthy endeavor that was not supported by those whose hearts had been warmed to serve. At the evening worship hour Mr. Touchton’s topic will be Worship Is Costly. Only through sacrifice do men learn how much God cares for their de- votion and love. Mr. Wilbur Phipps will be guest organist. The choir under the direction of Mr. Earl Anderson will sing in the morning “Gloria” -Mozart. And in the evening the choir’s anthem will be “The Hea- vens are Telling’ Beethoven. At the morning service Mr.‘ Ju- lius H, DuPree will sing Holy City + Gaul.

The offense of which Paul was accused was that he endeavored to bring into the inner court of the temple, a Gentile, which was punishable by death, Paul escapes the mob lyn- ching by delivering one of the most famous and dramatic speech- es ever made. It gives a short biography of this great apostle of the faith which sketches his back- ground, his conversion and his consecration to his life work. Paul says that he is a Jew, born in ‘Tarsus which opened the way for the Captain, who seemed to be a fair commander, to allow the prisoner to make the speech, He spoke first in Greek, then in He- brew which showed that he was a citizen of; culture and refine- ment. His purpose was to find out more about this Greek-speaking Jew who is aléo a Roman citizen. Paul states that he was brought up et the feet of Gamaliel, who was the grandson of the great Hillel, and was noted . for sense of justice and fair play. It has been said that “the glory of} the Torah ceased, and purity, and sanctity died out also” when Gam- aliel died. Since this great teach- er was reverenced and respected, Paul hurls in the face of his enemies the challenge that they are no more loyally Jewish than he, He had been educated by the finest teacher, They keep silence when he reminds them that he was brought up te love and res- pect the Law. He insists that he is even more zealous for God than they are. Paw informs his listeners that he was 30 sealous for the Law that he found a full time occupa- tion in hounding the followers of the Way of Christ, He was the Christian gathering evidence against them for thir trials before the authorities, He admits that he approved and participated in the bruial murder of Stephen, even & he did not throw tones.
