Theology.

A writer in The Church Standard says
that a guide in the Holy Land made the
following historical explanation to some
Americans by whom he was employed:
liking Saul, you know, was called Paul
after his conversion, and you can always
tell churchman, for he never falls to
speak of him as ST. Paul. " This recalls
the old story of a stupid candidate for
orders in Oxford who had been repeated
" plucked in his divinity "exam. " 1t
was at last decided to ask him one easy
question and let him go through If he
answered it correctly. The question Sc
lected was, what was the former
name of St Paul, the great apostle to
the gentiles?" As the examiners hoped,
the young man answered saul, " which
was correct. But just as they were
breathing a sigh of relief over his sue
cess the young fellow, proud OF his
achievement and anxious to show how
much more he knew, turned back after
be had opened the door and added, HE
was the son of Kish. -
