We are not told very much concerning Saul prior 1 to his conversion, hut the brief glimpse- we are allowed give us-, pret ty fair clew to his character. These glimpses of Saul are from AetnMdtt in Acta 8:1. Acts 1:3, and in the first two ! verses of this leSSOSh The first two 1 of these references show Saul in tin-

band of those who htoned the dUciple Stephen, and "Saul wan consenting unto his death." In :3 we are told Saul . . . made havoc of the church." Ads 9:1 shows Saul "breathing out threateaiage aml slaughter against the disciples of the Lord." Ne do not need to infer from these passages that Saul (Paul) a particularly bloodthirsty. He was an enthusiastic. BSetoaa partisan of the Jewish traditions, a "pharisee of the phariaees" tsee Thil. ::4, i).
