abounded in goats whose hair was
woven into cilicium, the tent makers
fabric, so that it was natural that so
thriving a business should be the
choice Of the boy. For two years he
would toll at the task that was to be
his means of later livelihood until ne
would feel his independence of for
tunes smile or frown. 1t is probable
that at fifteen he would be sent to
Jerusalem to complete the prepara-
ton for his life work so that again it
was the city that moulded his think
ing and shaped his imagery. Some
where along the line there came the
personal conservation and acceptance
of the ministrant plan of his father.
Gods call was far from being under
stood but it was heard and he kept his
conscience clean by obeying. The boy
who had heard the Law sought it as a
ladder by which he could reach heaven
and know Jehovah. 1t was out of
such passionate self-giving that God
was able to fashion the great leader
of our thinking and living. And the
boys and girs who begin the study of
this life of Paul are to furnish his
successors.
