DELIGHTED AUDIENCE
HEARS. LECTURE
DR.. sREEOEN DELIVERS INTER
EsTiNG DISCOURSE ON
LIFE or PAUL.

Another good and delighted audience
greeted DIR. Breeder and listened to
what Senator Dixon, who was present,
characterized as high class lecture
on Saul of Tarsus. Many more OF
the business and professional men of
Missoula would make part Of DIR.
Breeden's nightly audiences If they
realized that a man Of big brain and
broad culture is in the city, Il man
with message for the most thought
full and cultured.
DR. Breeders subject was the
Conversion of an Infidel.' He showed
that the man saul was the brainiest
and one of the most learned men of
mis.ed, for to assume that he was MIS-
his time-a many-sided man and
great in all directions. He was not
missed for To assume that he was mis-
led is to assume that the stronger can
he deceived by the weaker. A New
ton is not duped by philosopher of
less magnitude concerning the things
the knowledge of which reveals his
greatness.
Why was Saul an infidel? Christian
ity needed the testimony of one whose
testimony could not possibly be i'm
peached. The world might discredit
the witness of men who had COM
panied with Jesus and come under the
spell Of his personality; but none
could challenge the testimony of such
one as Paul, who. SO far from hav-
ing been biased by friendship, was a
better, impIacable enemy and perse-
cutor of the new reformer. In the
conversion of Saul of Tarsus Chris
tianity has one of its strongests apol-
ogetics. 1t Is impossible to account
for Paul the Christian on any other
ground than that Jesus is divine.
Nothing but the most unquestionable
proofs could possibly have won and
held such a man to the new faith.
Il know in whom l have believed
was his testimony. Never for one
moment did his faith In the vision
that struck him blind. falter. In his
every defense he points to it as the
explanation of the mighty change that
had taken place in him. At the bar
of Felix and Festus he becomes the

prits at the bar of God. Clad in rags

throw Christianity by attacking and
demolishing its two strongholds. the

his part, the REPUTATION of the resur-
