GARDENHIRE O figure in religious history stands out so vividly —no historic personality is so magnetic—as that Nof Paul the Apostle. In the palace at Caesarea this story opens, when Paul took the stand which called out that famous comment : " This man might have been set free if he had not appealed unto Cassar." In and out of the great drama of Rome in her throes of change moves Paul, quietly wielding his titanic power. 1 In " Lux Crucis" we learn to know him as a tender, loving man. We see Nero and the rottenness of his court; we see the Christians going triumphantly to their doom; we see Rome burn and evil flourish ; and we see at last the tumbling of the old gods. And all the time we are following the story of a Roman officer's love for a Christian maid—a tale that even without this wonderful setting would stand out as a love story of strangely vital power and charm.
