The Vision of Saul.

By Mrs. L. D. A. Stuttle

Afar, on Syria's plain so green, Damascus' glittering spires are seen; And the fleecy clouds go floating by, Like white winged birds, through the azure sky. While the golden rays of the sunbeams fall O'er the soldier's spear, and the shield of Saul.
The heart of the leader triumphs then, And his spirit thirsts for the praise of men, As he journeys on, in his zeal and pride, To bind the church of the Crucified! And he looks on the city far away, Like the eager hound that is sure of prey.
When lo! a form that is dazzling bright, Reveals itself in a robe of light; Like thunders loud is the voice they hear, And they fall to the earth in a nameless fear. The taunts of Saul and his cruel boasts, Are hushed, at the voice of the Lord of Hosts! Mrs. L. D. A. Stuttle.
