The Conversion of Saul. —Acts ix:
1-30.
Golden Text. —He fell to the earth
and heard a voice saying unto him,
Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou
me? Acts ix:4.
Verses 1-2. —From experience, phil
osophically, theologically, pyschologi
cally, or any other way, how do you
account for the bitter hatred of Saul
for Christians.
After his conversion, did he show
the same hatred towards those who
opposed Christianity?
Does history justify the statement
that zealous religionists, who have
not known, not experienced the love
of God, have been exceedingly cruel
and bitter men?
Verses 3-4. —What was the nature
of the light that shined around Saul?
(See Acts xxii:l3, 1 Cor. xv;B.)
Whose voice was it that Saul heard?
What reason is there to believe
that this was a real voice with out
ward sound?
Is there any sinner so bad that
Jesus does not call him to repent?
Had Saul actually been persecut
ing Jesus? (See Matt. 25:40.)
If we hurt or help a Christian, is
that actually done to Jesus?
Is there a sense in which a Chris
tian is the actual Christ?
Verse 5. —Did Saul know from the
first who it was that spake to him';
Does it always consciously hurt to
fight against God?
Does wrong doing always hurt,
whether done in ignorance or not?
Verse 6. —What makes sinners al
ways tremble when God reproves
them for their sins?
At what stage does God forgive a
convicted sinner?
When was Saul actually converted?
Why did not Jesus tell Saul there
and then, what he wanted him to
do?
Verse 7. —Why does the supernat
ural always frighten people?
OLD CAESAR'S BUDGET.
Mr. Henry Anglin went to Pine
View Sunday afternoon.
Miss Mary Roberts visited home
folks at Cedar Springs Saturday and
Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Chambers, of
Cedar Springs, attended the sing at
£ion Sunday afternoon.
Mr. J. W. Lane, of Blakely, vis
ited his mother, Mrs. M. J. Lane, Sat
urday night and Sunday.
Mr. J. L. Houston, of Pine View,
, was a welcome guest at the home of
Old Caesar a few days ago.
The young people at this place have
decided to change the sing from se
cond and fourth Sundays to every
Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock.
Through the courtesy of Mr. R. M.
Hill, of this place, we have been able
to get from his accounts an approxi
mate estimate of his farm last year.
Mr. Hill is a one-horse farmer and
made a fraction over one bale per
acre.
To labor by R. M. Hill $200.00
To labor by extra help G 5.00
To mule and feed 75.00
To plow and hoe tools 10.00
To commercial fertilizers 21.00
To barnyard fertilizers 22.00
To ginning, bagging, ties and
storage 19.25
By cotton and seed. .$421.52
By corn and fodder.. 282.00
By groundpeas, potatoes
and syrup.... .. 154.00
By extra labor R. M.
Hill 118.00
By sundries, farm, prod
ucts, etc 75.00
To cash and produce to bal... 038.52
$1050.52 $1052.52
This shows a balance of $038.27 to
Mr. Hill’s credit. Putting land rent
at *IOO.OO, it would leave a balance of
$538.27. Mr Hill is not the only one
farming in this community. Others
are making rapid strides. This good
work has just begun, so to speak, and
bids fair in the near future to give
our farmer boys an independent com
petency. Twenty years ago, or even
less time, the first thing with the
farmer in commencing his crop would
be to see the merchant and find out
if he was willing to advance sup
plies and goods to run his farm. If
so, then it was too hire hands, plant
a heavy cotton crop and in many cases
farming would be left in the hands
of the laborer, and not too many
of the common laborers were blessed
with a scientific knowledge nor any
too just to give their employers full
value in time; hence, at the close
of the year, the farmer would find
that the hands had consumed all the
supplies advanced by the merchant
and in return for it find about half
enough corn made, often not so
much as that, to run the farm an
other year, the 3tock run down,
tools, such as he had, all gone and
after turning over the cotton made
to the merchant at a low price find
that a large balance was still due,
sinking more and more in debt each
year and the fertility of the farms
Verses 8-9. —What had blinded Saul?
How did Saul spend the days that
he was without sight?
Dlid he fa|st because he had no>
desire for food, or was It a religious
fast?
| Is fasting any use these days as
| a help to spiritual life?
Verses 10-12. —May the ability to
hear God speak, be acquired by all
true Christians?
Have you any experience of God
telling more than one person the
same thing, so that when they came
to compare experiences, God’s mes
sage was confirmed?
Will God always prepare us for
our work, and prepare the work for
U 3?
Verses 3-16. —Is God pleased, or
displeased, if we do not accept what
he says, when it is clear to us?
Verses 17-18.—Did Saul at this time
receive the Holy Ghost, or at the
time of his conversion, and when do
Christians generally receive him?
(This question must be answered in
writing by the members of the Club.)
Verses 19-22. —D0 all genuine con
verts like Saul, commence immediate
ly to get others converted?
What was the power in Saul which
give him this great zep.l, and is the
same power available for every Chris
tian?
Verses 23-25. —If a person feels, or
acts, in a bitter spirit toward one of
a different faith, is that proof that
he is not in true touch with God?
Verses 26-30. —Are Christians justi
fied in being cautious In receiving
strangers?
What is the best way for a young
convert to show he really Is a Chris
tian?
Is a true earnest aggressive Chris
tian as liable to give offense in these
days as was Saul?
Lesson for Sunday, April 25th, 1909
—the Gospel in Antioch. Acts xl:
19-30; 12-25.
by sorry labor and poor cultivation
rapidly giving way to barrenness;
dilapidated houses, unrepaired fen
ces of long standing, poor farmers,
awake or asleep, the same grewsome
phantom ever present— debt and
everything slipping from his grasp.
Many times would the farmer try
to solve the problem as to his re
lease and as many times fail in the
solution. Nearly or probably all the
farmers would agree that to raise
supplies at home would be one solu
tion to the problem. Yet to quit
planting cotton would be to lose cred
it with many, and it was looked upon
as one among the impossibles and
so they relapse again into the same
old cotton system. The bossmen
knew that high priced supplies and
low priced farm products would hold
the farmers in servility. The task
' masters little thought as they basked
i ia the sunshine of luxury that they
! themselves would sever the bonds
and place the farmer in position to
' free himself. But, Mr Editor has
looked at the door and I know it ia
une for Old Caesar to go. Probably
the Editor will let me talk a little
about the farmers next week. In
ics Old Caesar is just bubbling over
looking at the good thinks coming to
r.l ;e farmer. Think, I’ll go over and
t :ik with friend Paramore some.
