HONESTLY MISTAKEN
Next Trade's Day May 14th.
There once lived in the city
of Tarsus a man named Saul.
He was one of the tribes of the
Hebrews which inhabited the
land at that time. He was
highly educated by one of the
Doctors of tho Law of Moses
whose name was Gamaliel. No
doubt Saul had every opportun-
ity that could be given at that
time to learn the Law of Moses
which he was a great believer in.
He also knew tho Roman law
which controlled the land nev-
erless he did not know the law
of the Saviour because he went
about hailing men and women
bringing them to prison those
that spoke in His name. Saul
with all his knowledge thought
that he was pleasing God m his
persecution of the church which
Christ established.
He was not satisfied playing
Havoc in the Btnall towns so he
went up to Jerusalem and got
permission to go to Damascus
to extend his persecution there.
But behold as he journeyed on
his way with his companions
thinking of the wonderful work
he had done there was a won-
derful thing happened a bright
shining light came out of the
skies with a voice in it.
The light was so bright that
Saul wsa blinded and fell to the
ground helpless. The voice of
the Saviour asked him why he
was persecuting Him. He re
plied he was ready to do any
thing for Him.
So we see that Saul was hon-
estly mistaken for thinking he
was doing right When he was do-
ing wrong. We know he Was"
honest because he became a
great worker for the cause he
once persecuted and died in
Rome for Christianity being put
to death by Nero the emperor.
