APrisoner Who Ouertopped
A Royal King
BY WILLIAM T.. ELLIS.

Apostle Paul was the most danger
Gus man in Judea. His clear and
fearless voice rang out against the
evils of society and of politics and
of the Church. The ecclesiastics
hated him with a deadly hatred; the
Roman governor trembled before his
reaching. and the people turned
into the Way that he proclaimed.
True, his enemies had the physi-
cal power TO imprison him; but he
was still the freest spirit of the
time; for
= Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage"
Paul embodied the ideals of liber-
ty and righteousness and honor
which were the n hope of a de-
generate day. Although he was a
prisoner at the bar, he was the real
leader of the force that was destined
to overthrow Rome's imperial pagan
power. This little Tarsus Jew. at
whom petty governors and a kinglet
sneered, was the Champion of the
Coming Day, at whose feet later
kings and emperors were Eumbly to
bow. Let US not miss the larger is
sue set in array, as Festus and
Agrippa ranged Paul opposite to
them; this was nothing less than a
phase of the eternal struggle be-
ween darkness and light, wrong
and right, reaction and progress. err
ror and liberty, God and the Evil
One. Paul's privilege was the high
est that ever comes to a mortal, that
of standing for God and Tomorrow
when all the odds were against him.
