The fact that on roads with improved
surfaces hauling becomes largely in-
dependent of the season of the year or
weather conditions means another
very considerable reduction in hauling
costs. .
The east of transporting goods to
the railroads and of farm produce to
markets is high, due mainly to steep
grades and yielding road surfaces on
unimproved roade. The worst. grade
on any road tends to limit the lead

For example, if a 1,200 -pound horse,,

But above all else,in Paul's prep,ara.-
tion Midi equipment was his vision of
the risen Christ, and hie conscioueness
of the constant ;presence, working in
him and throve) him, of the: Spirit
of God, which was to min identical
with the epirit and, the mind' of Christ.
From the day of his meeting with
Christ on the road to Damascus Paul
believed himself called' to preach the
gospel. Ananias, who came to him at
Damascus, had, said' to him, "The God
of our fathers hath chosen thee that
thou shouldest know hie will, and see
that just One, and sheuldest hear OA
voice of his mouth. For thou shalt be
his witness unto all men of what those
hast seen and heard" (Acts 22: 14,
15). Paul declared, also that, in the
'Christ 'had' said. to him, "I have
appeared unto thee for this purpose,
to make thee a rniniSter and a witness
both of these things which thou bast
seen, and of those things in the which
I will aptpear unto thee." (Acte 26:
16). Thia therefore, became the ea-
prerne business of las life, and, his one
eonsurtning passion, to preach Jesus
whom he had persecuted.
19-20. He preached Christ; declarn
ing in the synagogues to the &seen:bled
congregations that Jesus was the
Christ, that is that He was the long -
expected Saviour and King, whose
corning had been proclaimed by pro-
phets for seven, hundred or more
years. He gave Hine the title Son of
God, reco'grtizing Him thus as divinely
sent and: autherizecl to win His King-
doin and to work out the redemption
of His people.
21-22. All that heard him were
amazed. They knew hes, fame as per-
secutorr, knew why 'Inc had; come to
Dasnascus, ,and were, aina,eect that this
said of 13a,rnabas in 4: 36, 37, andelle

Paul claims, however, an answer to
some of those Jewish Olerietiansewho
foetid much fault with him in later
yeare, that Inc received no authority
from the ,aeostles, in Jerusalem ancindid
not aelc for any. His commission and
authority he held himself to have re-
ceived from Jesus Christ, when He
met Hire on the wan (see Gal. 1: 1,
15-19). He, therefore, felt that he
had the same right to- speak aecl teach
as James and. Peter and the other
apostles, being not one whit behind
the chiefest of them, and Inc declares
that thee, right was freely euceorded
aim by, the leaders, of the Church in
Jerusalem, (Gal. 2: 1-9).

Paul's creole tatat he d'esired to stay
in Jerusalem and to face whatever
hostility or danger to Iris thexe
might be. He wished to preach Christ
where he' persecuted His followers.
He was willing himself to suffer where
he had made others suffer, and so in
some meesure to atone for the wrong

And, in the spiritual life the danger is
not less. It is not eneugh that a man
should cease to drink and ,smoke and

that Inc is deliverecl from such things,
stronger than all their enemaes. The
