His name was a terror to all the
new proselytes and the pride of all
the public officials and society of the
then Roman Empire.
One day his court attendants, bail
ifs, sheriffs and slaves, on their way
to Damascus for the purpose of con-
demning many hundreds of followers
of the Golden Rule, Saul of Tarsus,
who was on horseback, splendidly
equipped, his mind bent upon his bus
mess in hand, all of a sudden fell off
of his horse into the dust of the
road, before any of his satellites
could give him any assistance at all;
they picked him up in a dazed con-
dition; after a little rest, he said
something to his encourage. He said
something that had never entered his
mind in thirty years, as public prose
cutor: "Ypu officials go back to Je-
rusalem, I will proceed alone to Da-
mascus, viii investigate, study and
examine the indictments of those fol-
lowers of the Golden Rule"
His court followers were amazed,
dumbfounded at hearing this an
nouncement, because it was a new
departure, unheard of and unknown
in Roman court circles; at this turn
of affairs they left him.
This was the end for Saul of Tar
sus. as Roman official, for he re-
called upon investigation, that the
Golden Rule, ITO do unto others as
you love to be done by" was older
and greater than the Mosaic law,
IAN eye for an eye, and a tooth for
a TOOTH" for it was Gods law from

ences, not to be selfish, not to be

THE GOLDEN RULE.

Lately We have been reading an
article entitled, 'sThe Golden Rule. I"
In our ripper years we find from our
position, condition and experience
that we can see and understand so
much better many of our noble teach
ings, which in younger years we
could pass lightly over. We see so
much splendor, beauty, and whole
some grandeur in it that we cannot
suppress the temptation to write a
few lines about it What a great
civilizer is this Golden Rule enunciat-
ed by Jesus Christ while here among
menl What a wonderful beacon to
human life! What a righteous holy
spreachement!
The principle of "doing unto 9th
ers as you would have them do unto
you," is as modern today as it was
when voiced by CONTIGUOUS and made
practicable by the preaching of Jesus
nearly two thousand years ago.
Oh! this is the sunlight of clear,
clean human love radiating down
through the centuries. 1t is almost
about all we may do, no matter how
powerful, and no matter how poor.
This doing unto others as you would
others do unto you is the only re
hgion.
To the man with an open mind and
mental penetration, it will. convey
great lesson.
Saul of Tarsus, the Roman, what
a forceful name of positiveness; was
a scholar and a gentleman, of high
social and political standing and fol-
lowing, in Jerusalem, Palestine and
oriental countries. He was a pupil
a student of the greatest propOunder,
thinker and teacher of Mosaic law
and Bible-history in Jerusalem and
the Orient. The great Gameliel! An
eye for an eye, q tooth for tooth,

Saul of Tarsus became public pros

uosite of the Mosaic law, he called
it Gods Law. It was the Golden Rule:
