ThreefoId Preparation.

May We ask what made Paul
ready for these things2 There was
threefold preparation necessary. The
first step was sight. or the power Of
perception-'a vision saw on the
way. Paul's new life began when
there shone a light round about him
on the way 10 Damascus. Remember
that he was straight, upright, moral.
ighteous-sincere to the core OF his
being. AS far as education went at
that time. he was well educated. A
light from heaven fell, and a voice
from heaven spake. Paul fell TO the
ground. and the man upon the earth
said in answer to the voice from
heaven: Who art thou. Lord?' The
answer came I am Jesus What
wonderful revelation came 20 this man
on his way 10 Jerusalem. What wilt
thou have me to do2' That IL hence
forth the keynote Of his life. The
music Is true to Il through all the fu-
ture: through missionary iourneyings;
through perils by land and sea; in

said. Lord, what wilt thou have me
