is one where bashful men propose

wonder how the proposer could

found out the Radio Stations put

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time.—The exact chronology of
the Apostle Paul's life is difficult,
and different opinions are Held by
different scbolais. Approximately
one may say that Saul of Tarsus
was born in A.D. I. His conver-
sion took place abou. A.D. 35. His.
last visit to Jerusalem Was in A.D.
58 and his defense before Agrippa

Place.—The conversion of Paul,
n. d the events immediately follow-
ing, took place -near and in the
city of Damascus, in Syria, some-
times called the oldest city in the
v. trio. Saul's defense -before the
multitude in the temple occurred,
of couse, in ,erusalant. 1lis address
to Agrippa was g'ven in Caesarea,
a great city on the Syrian coast.
Saul's Persecution Of The Church
"Saul of Tarsus before his con-
version But Saul, yet breathing
threatening and slaughter against
the disciples of the Lord, went
unto the high priest, and asked of
him letters to Damascus unto the
synagogues, that if be found any
that were of the way, Whether men

hound unto Jerusalem." Saul, later

a brief but vivid account of Saul's
terrible persecution of the Church
(Acts. 8: 13) the great anin-
istryof Philip is then recorded and
Saul reappears, still fiercely pur-
suing Christians everywhere. We
find him now on the way from
Jerusalem to Damascus.
Saul's Conversion
"And as he ,uuuteyed, it cane
to pass that he drew eigh unto
Damascus: and suddenly there
shone round about him a light out
of heaven." \Vlty \Nes such a super-

He was in the presence of supre-

"And he said, 1 ant Jesus whom

thee to kick against the goad,"
Christ told (tins that lie nos like

Saul Yields To Christ
"But rise and enter into the city,

must do. And the then that jour-
neyed with hint stood speechless,
hearing the voice, but beholding no
pian." Paul is immediately a man
yielded to Christ and from titot day
to the day he died, he was ever
seeking to know and to do the will
of Itis Lord.
"Arid Saul arose from the earth
and when his eyes were opened, he
saw nothing; and chcy led lona by
