Realizing that the prison was opened, the jailor believed that his prisoners had escaped. ; 9.—As a result of this miracle, the jailor and his entire houseI ! hold were converted and baptized into Christianity. 10.—The pair were released the next morning, and with many . apologies—for it was discovered that they wore Roman citizens—were sent upon their way. o _ DETERMINATION By Harlowe R. Hoyt One of the outstanding traits of Paul of Tarsus was the determinjation which carried him through the multitude of trials which beset him on all sides during his various missionary journeys. To be sure, Paul was possessed of unswerving faith. He had beheld- the vision of tlfe road to Damascus, and from that hour, he was a convert to Christianity and the foremost champion in establishing it throughout the world. But Paul was a weakling. Undersized, though of stocky build, he suffered from epilepsy. Malaria struck him on his first missionary journey and he suffered from it intermittently throughout his life. - Hardship and abuse weakened him I still further. But Paul had determination. He refused to quit. The greater the opposition, the more set was the evangelist. Some 'people might term this stubborness. I But there is a difference between ; the two. Stubborness generally is I born of selfishness. And Paul, | teaching the golden rule and the i brotherhood of Jew and Gentile, was anything but selfish. “I have (ought a good fight. J have finished the course. I have kept the faith.” These were the words in which Paul himself summed up his life's work. We can do no better than profit by his example. Let us apply this determination to do right not only in our religious but in our every day affairs, and be the better because of it. Zion Lutheran Church Paul W.

As Paul and his little band preached in the open places of Philippi, they attracted the attention of a slave girl who was accredited with the gift of prophecy. Day after day she followed them, crying: "These men are the bondservants of the Most High, and are proclaiming to you the way of salvation.” nr.'/iTt'n r'lir-n/ iint'i ——_
