we would need any policemen to watch people? No, indeed, we would not, for they would love Jesus in th e ir hearts and would no t w ant to do anything th a t was wrong. Saul was ta u g h t the Bible every day, and he began as a little boy, and then when he had studied his verses for th a t day, he would be ta u g h t th e trad e he was learning, which was making tents. T ent making was a good business in th e city where Saul lived. Of course Saul’s p aren ts were Jews, and Saul was very care fully train ed in th e Jew ish faith. Saul was proud of his city, and he always let th e people know he was a Jew. When boys and girls do th a t which is rig h t they are no t ashamed to te ll about th eir fam ily and th e town in which they live. Saul learned his Bible so well and all th e different things th e Jewish boys had to do th a t he did no t break any of th e Jewish laws. So we see th a t Saul was a very busy little boy. -Of course Saul was no t ta u g h t to believe on Jesus because he was a Jew ish boy, b u t all th e things he was ta u g h t he did. He remembered them in his heart! Let us learn our memory verse. “Thy word have I hid in mine h eart, th a t I m ight not sin against th ee.” If we hide God’s word in our hearts, we will no t do any th ing th a t Jesus would no t w ant us to dp.

Now I wonder w hat kind of a boy Saul was? He lived in a city by th e name of Tar sus, and th is city was on th e seashore and also on th e river.
