However, his impassioned address centered on his personal testimony.
His eagerness to share the story of his life-transforming encounter with Jesus on the Damascus Road brings to mind the old gospel hymn, I Love to Tell the Story.
That song title clearly was the theme of Paul's life after his conversion.
He was also a banker and very prosperous, so Catherine, nicknamed Kate, never wanted for the better things in life.
Although she could have chosen her friends from the elite, she had a place in her heart for the poor and hungry people in the most poverty-stricken parts of the city.
As a young girl, Kate taught Sunday school.
When her missionary brother fell ill in South Africa, Kate traveled there to assist him.
That trip sparked a passion for foreign missions and in her later life, when she became a published author, she donated all proceeds from her writing to missionary work.
At the age of 30, Kate contracted a serious illness and doctors ordered her to stop her church work and stay in bed for an entire year.
She complied, in part.
Though she did not travel as she had before, she remained a missionary via her pen.
The most famous poem she wrote during that period had two parts and was 100 stanzas in length, the first part titled, The Story Wanted, and the second part, The Story Told.
She completed the poem in 1866, though it took most of the year to write it.
In 1867, the Young Men's Christian Association held its international convention in Montreal, Canada, and one of the leaders ended a sermon by quoting from Catherine's poem.
Songwriter William Doan, who was in the audience, put part of the poem to music, composing the hymn we know today as Tell Me the Old, Old Story.
Two years later, another composer, William Fisher, created a unique melody based on the second part of the poem, and his hymn, I Love to Tell the Story, has been a favorite gospel song of many ever since.
Katherine Hanke and Paul the Apostle both had a fervent desire to tell the story of Jesus.
That desire can and should be ours as well.
