The great missionary of Christ, Paul the Apostle, was a man that was ever searching for truth, ever alert, never at any time mentally inactive. His was an active mind, seeking truth in the university at Tarsus. He was a student of the great teachers Gamaliel and Hillel. When Paul received the vision and was converted on the road to Damascus, even then was his mind active in his intense search to understand the word of God and obtain the wisdom of the great message. Paul knew that the life spent in the search of truth was not an easy one. He realized that his mission was to gain understanding of the truth of Christ and to teach this truth to others. Paul might have said: “The easier road I leave to others, I have chosen the harder one.” It was Emerson who said, “God gives to every man the choice between truth and repose; he cannot have both.” But when Paul said, “I have chosen the harder road,” he might have added, “but I have also chosen the happier one,” for the search for truth is a happy search, an interesting one, an adventuresome, exciting road to travel. – Levi Edgar Young, “Conference Report,” October 1951, Second Day-Morning Meeting, p.66
