Paul A Reformer

[Page 14]

     St. Paul triumphed over Judaism only by putting in its place Christianity in all its breadth and beauty. What holiness, strength, nobleness of character he displayed in the course of his ministry will appear as we trace his history. St. Paul is the type of the reformer in the church; in every fresh struggle of the church for it's freedom, his will be the track which courageous Christians will follow. No true reformation can be wrought in any other spirit than that of Paul--a spirit equally removed from the timidity which preserves that which should be destroyed, and the rashness which destroys that which should be preserved.--E. De Pressense in The Early Years of Christianity.
