A Prisoner TO the Fore
One maryels a. the primacy oi
Paul in all tho experience OF the
voyage lie was only passenger
and prisoner Yet his counsel was
taken before that % the experts. The
reason is simple Capt. julius, and
every BODY aboard the ship knew
Paul for distinguished parsonage
who had received marked attention
from two governors and king. and
who was bound for Rome with an
appeal to Caesar himself More
than that the personality ot the man
indicated his pre-eminence. In a
time OF trouble. real ability comes
to the fore. Adversely tests men.

and leaders Because Paul was the
greatest man aboard tho ship. he
naturally assumed the leadership
Atho they did not fully under
stand the significance. all the men
aboard the boat realized that this
man paul had pergpna1 relations
