Hoyt It has been said that more flies I are eaught with honey than with ■ vinegar. By which we are given | i to understand that diplomatic ap-1 proach and unobtrusive teaching, I obtains the best and most lasting ! | results. The old adage holds as I good in this day and age as it did when the maxim wits first express- ■ ed. Paul was a militant Christian. ; In his time, it required a deal of I i courage and comllativeness to meet the strange peoples and idolaters! with whom he came in contact i and converted. Physical courage was considered a virtue by these i semi barbaric races, and Paul won I them by this very attribute to the I ‘extent that they gave him a hear-i | ing. He was a flaming sword. Conditions, today, are different.. We have varied sects and creeds. ’ Too often we are lost in a mass of dogma and speculation on de-1 tails which have nothing whatsoever to do with the basic principals of Christianity. So. to attain the l<est and most lasting results at the present time. ! we must teach by example. Each one of us—be he high or : humble, ordained or a layman—is i possessed of the power of spread- ■ ing the gospel of Jesus Christ by I example. One of the truest Christians it i lias been my happiness to know I was a country minister. For more than fifty years, he ministered in i a little country town, counseling . his little flock and bringing them ■ into the Christian faith. But he ' knew neither church nor creed, ■j Rich atid poor were the same t > him. He sat fiy the bed of the j village drunkard and gave him comfort. He saw that, the material needs of the family wepe aile- ■ viated. He was a friend of the | unfortunate, were they Protestant, I Catholic or Jew. He taught the word of God on Sunday. He pray- ! ed with them on week days. But he led a truly Christian life, I and by his example, caused others . to seek a life as godly as his. We are influenced by our associations. Let us live truly and sincerely. For, by our example. , we shape the lives and the*'destinies of others.

Much has ’>ecn done to alter the church since the days of the revolution. The pews have been torn , out and replaced. But the chimes remain. An interesting story is told in connection with them. When the I Liberty Pell pealed out the notice of the signing of the Declaration j |of Independence, the chimes ofi Christ Church joined in the tumultous jollification. When the Lib- . erty Bell was taken from thy city to avoid falling into the hands of I the British, these bells were also taken. They remained in Allentown until after the British departure, when they were reinstall id and ring today, as they did when the colonies declared their freedom j of British rule and launched a new [ nation.

PAUL (SAUL) OF TARSUS ________

Following the Day of Pentecost, when the apostles preached throughout Jerusalem, Saul joined with the leaders who opposed this new and growing faith. He witnessed the stoning of Stephen when that martyr met his death. Later, he received a commission to go to Damascus and bring back Christians for persecution in Jerusalem.

It v»s while he was on his way to Damascus that Saul became converted to Christianity. As he lode along *he road in the noonday sun, he beheld a vision of Jesus beside him and heard the words: "Saul, Saul, why persecutes! thou me?” So impressed was he by this vision that he became a Christian on the spot and took the name of Paul.
