CHARACTER OF PAUL.

A great many persons have ideas
of Paul and of his letters that arc
too official. Wo need on effort to
rise to tho true standing of that man
in tho human race, and Of those let
ters in the literature of the ages. We
want our whole mental being improg-
mated with the lifc.giying thoughts
and tho never dying impulses of this
self:sacrifcing man, who, without set
tinc up as either saint or hero, was
more than over priests imagined in
The sanc,ity of the one, or poets in tho
rlory of tho other. What views Of
holiness had he who went from the
workshop of tho tcnt-maker to the
perils of tho deep; from the midnight
song in prison, after scourging, which
awoke the virtuous indignation of tho
Roman citizen, to preaching of hea.
vcn's glad tidings to his jailer; from
tho sorrow provoked BY, the brilliant
idola,ries Of Athens to the exhibition
ofthe living God among the contemp.
tuous philosophers on the Mars Hill;
from comforting tho frightened hea.
then mariners, who, for his. sake, and
BY his direction, were saved from
siipwreck, to the terrible solitude of
stond;no without friend before the
imperial "lion" at Rome2 And
what deemed he of heroism, to whom
all honors, gains, privileges and tri.
umphs were less than nothing, and
basor than filth, compared with teach
ing tho ignorant tho way TO everlast-
ing life with Coda This was indeed
a man, and only man; a man who
believed what oil Christians hope
thoy believe; believing man, who
did simply what his conscience told
him he ought to do, what his heart
prompted, what his Master willed,
and what the world needed without
knowing it. With such man wo
sssEselSy hazs slsr 'qa .. Rqshs ias sdR sHhARa
be tempted to worship him; never.
theless, the calmcr and more practical
will be our desire to be like him in
what he believed for the guidance of
his soul, and in what ho was. as the
beloved physician has painted him
and as bis own lcttors hayo revealed
him.
