Wishing to speak to a mob In Jerusalem,
Paul said, "I am a man which am
a Jew of Tarsus, a citizen of no mean
city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to
speak unto the people."
The chief captain asked Paul if he were
a Roman, and he said "Yea " "With a
great sum obtained I this freedom." sunt

BALTIMORE, Md. Robert F.
Buchal, 83, reported to police that
someone had taken S2.000 from a
bread box in his home, shared by
his sister. The couple, operators
of a market stall, had put the
money, in $20, $10, $5 and $1 de
nominations, in the bread box for
safe-keeping over-night.

THIS LESSON begins a new
series on the life and letters of
the Apostle Paul, called by one
commentator, "the greatest Chris
tian that ever lived on this earth."
He took the leading part in the
shaping of the early Christian
church, and virtually made it the
world religion it is today by car
rying the message to the Gentiles
as well as to, the Jews, and ac
cepting them on equal terms with
the Jews in the fellowship
Even less is known of the 'arly
life of Paul than of that of his
Master, Jesus What little we
know is through his own speeches
and letters We do not even know
the names of his father and
mother.
His first speech, which we quote
and which gives us some informa
tion on his earlier life, was made
in Jerusalem He had been warned
not to go to Jerusalem, because
the people there were stirred up
against him and meant to do him
harm.
However, Paul was no coward,
and when he felt his duty called
him to that city he went. He
went to the temple, and while he
was in this area Jews from Asia
saw him and cried out that this
was the man who was everywhere
teaching things contrary to the
Mosaic law. He would surely have
been killed then and there, but
the Roman soldiers, who were
stationed about to prevent just
such violent acts, rescued him.
Paul Speaks Greek
As he was about to be taken
into the castle by the chief cap
tain, Paul spoke to him in Greek,
to the amazement of the captain,
and asked that he might be al
lowed to speak to the people who
were packed into the Jemple area
below him. The captain had
thought Paul was an Egyptian,
but Paul said. "I am a man which
am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in
Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city:
and I beseech thee, suffer me to
speak unto the people."
The captain gave him leave to
speak, and Paul held up his hand
to the people and addressed the
mob amid a great silence. "I am
verily a man which am a Jew,
born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia,
yet brought up in this city at the
feet of Gamaliel, and taught ac
cording to the perfect manner of
the law of the fathers, and was
zealous toward God, as ye all are
this day."
The city of Tarsus was one
where "the institutious best and
mast completely united the ori
ental and western character; it
was more successful than any
other of the great cities of that
time in producing an amalgamat
ing society," writes W. M. Ram
say. F. W, Farrar writes that It was
from Tarsus that the vast masses
of timber hewn in the forests of
Taurus, wer floated down the
river to the Mediterranean dock
yards; it was here that the ves
sels were unladen which brought
to Asia the treasures of Europe.
Gamaliel, Paul's teacher, was
the son of Simon and grandson of
Hillel He encouraged his pupils
to study Greek literature, and his
teaching was loward a broader
and more .spiritual interpretation
of the Mosaic law. and encour
aged the Jews toward friendly in
tercourse with foreigners, for in
stance, allowing poor strangers
equal rights with Jews to the
gleanings of corn, etc He was
held in great esteem
One can understand that under
the gu'dance of such a teacher
Paul gained the liberal attitude
toward Gentiles, which made him
the leader in carrying Jesus' mes
sage to them.
Paul Learns a Trade
We are told that Paul learned
the trade of tent-maker, and that
seems to some people to mean
that his parents were p or Every
Jewish boy learned a trade, how
ever, ami that was no indication
that they were in poor circum
stances His education was very
good for that tune, and much bet
ter than that of most of the api s-
ties, who were mostly pool un
lettered nun He started the
study of the scriptures at the age
of six. h.i.l a profound knowledge
of the OKI Test wient senpturts
and hi.s Utters s-liow him to be a
scholar He says of himself, "after
the straitest sect of our n'l
gion. I lived a Pharisee."
The mob was not appeased by
Paul's speech and the Romans
bound him and the captain or
dered him to be scourged Paul
said it was not lawful to scourge
a Roman citizen, and the chief
captain came' to him and said,
"Tell me, art th.ia a Roman? He
said. Yea
"And the chief captain an
swered. With a great sum ob
tained I this freedom. And Paul
said, But I was free born."
He was not scourged, and even
tually was brought before Agrip
pa, Roman ruler
As a Pharisee high in the coun
cils of the church, Paul had been
zealous in persecuting the Chris
tians, and was, in fact, present
and at least an onlooker w'hen
Stephen, the first martyr, was
stoned to death. All his life he
was haunted by his early sins, but
even the fact that he had perse
cuted Christians and, in fact, all
his training and work before his
conversion, made him later the
very one to carry on God's work
in the world. He, Indeed, fulfilled
his mission.
Middle Age Sickness and Health
j is Die title of a most t hought-pro-'
'eking article in the September 21
J issue of The New Life Magazine.
It is one oi the best simple slate-nuiil-
conee: nint; that illness of
mind ;md soul which so fre(ucntly
conies to men and women in the
middle period of life.
While ii is generally known that
women who reach this aj;e pass
through what is known as "the
change of life" it is not generally
known nor recognized that men
have a similar experience. Roth
involve a change in mental and
spiritual attitudes along with cer
tain physical symptoms which pro
duce functional disorders. If un
corrected, the latter frequently
leads to serious illness, heart at
tacks and often death itself.
Roughly speaking, this period
commences shortly atfer men and
women reach the
peak oftheir
physical develop
ment and matur
ity. For a woman
this is approxi
mately 35, while
for a man it is
approximately 40;
It is concerning
this experience
that Walter Pit
kin wrote his book
at Forty."
After a man or woman reaches
the peak of physical maturity, there
conies a leveling off, and then
slowing down or diminishing of
physical strength. It is a shock to
many people, when they come to
this realization. Many try to have
a last fling at youth, have nervous
break-downs, develop alcoholism,
or refuse to admit it, overwork the
physical machine and are knocked
out with a heart attack.
A wise Providence permits these
physical warnings to comeas a re
minder that the best days of life
can be ahead for men and women
who cultivate the inner life, and
enter into the period of creative
achievement and spiritual growth.
The trouble with most middle-
"Life Begins
agers is that they don't want to
let go of the old life, and take hold
of the new. They like the life
they have been living, and want to
keep it.
Physical illness whjch conies in
early middle ago should be wel
comed as a needed warning.
These break-downs which confine
us to bed or take us out of circu
lation are times for mental and
spiritual stock-taking. This is the
time when we should learn to live
"in the presence of God,'' letting
Him bear the nervous and emo
tional strain of living, following His
guidance, sharing the new spiritual
life with others.
Men and women coming to mid
dle age don't understand that di
minishing physical vigor should be
succeeded by mental and spiritual
vigor. They have explored most
of the physical resources of life.
They are unsatisfied now, and are
looking for something new. That
new life, if it is found, will be of
the mind and soul.
Don't forget this change when it
comes. Welcome it, and there will
be many wonderful days and years
ahad.

Student At Emory
Dorothy Leatherwood. Waynes
ville, is one of 41 students enrolled
in a record freshman class in the

ing, according to an announcement
by Miss Julia Miller, dean of the
school.
Miss Leatherwood is a graduate
of Waynesville Township High
school and attended Mars Hill Col
lege for two years. She has entered
Emory's new degree program, lead
ing to the award of a Bachelor of
Science degree in nursing. There

We overheard one summer hotel
operator say, that due to the meat
situation he was not taking any
reservations for next season, as
has been his custom in the past,
because he could not tell what
food might cost another year so
he could make no prices.
The huge meat shipments
arc not going to our armed
forces. How did things get
in such a jam? Who is to
blame? Why should a nation
rich in farm lands and pas
tures have a meat shortage?
next eyar. Dr. Thomas N. Carter,
pastor of the host church, will dis
cuss "The Pastor in Dealing with
the Divorce Problem." The clos
ing address will be delivered by
Rev. L. G. Elliott of Waynesville.
Painter's Invention
Proves 'Reel' Help
NEW YORK When his paint
er's scaffold collapsed five stories
above a Manhattan street. Jack
Frankel gambled on the effective
ness of a self-invented safety de
vice and he won.
Crowds in the street below Mr.
Frankel gasped when a rope
slipped and one end of his scaf
fold fell. Instead of plunging to
the street he was left dangling
from the "automatic protection de
vice" which he had spent the past
six years perfecting.
Mr. Frankel had about his waist
a three-pound, reel-like mechanism
attached to his scaffold's guide
rope. Calmly he unwound the reel,
lowering himself a cautious six
inces at a time.
When police arrived with life
nets he wai down to the third
floor. Soon he had lowered him
self to the sidewalk without a
scratch.
