Bible Questions
Of the Day
BY Harlow K. Hoyt.
PAUL-THE ROMAN CITIZEN.
Questions.

PAUL-THE ROMAN CITIZEN.
Questions.
1. What request did Paul make of
Claudius Lysias after his rescue from
the mob in Jerusalem?
2. What resulted when Paul sought to

nander take?

tions for f1agellation?

5. When Paul was being bound pre-
vious to being fiogged he announced
