PEPPLE AND ADULT TOP
Courase In Witnessing for Christ.
I. Saul Preached Chrlat in Damaa
eua (Vv. 10-22).
1. Saul's Fellowship with the Dis
ciples (v. 10).
After Saul was baptized he remained
certain days with the believers in Di
mnscus (y. 19). How beautiful to think
of the transformation which took
place?the one who was so passionate
ly bent on their destruction was now
enjoying fellowship with the disciples.
2. Straightway Preaching In the
Synagogues (v. 20).
Snui, like erery one who is really
converted, begins to tell of the newly
found Savior. As soon as he is saved
he goes to save others. His message
concerned the deity of Christ. His
.doctrinal belief is summed up In six
words, "He is the Son of God."
8. The People Amazed (v. 21).
They knew that the very one who
!fd <he ringleader in persecuting
Christians in Jerusalem, and had
come to Damascus for the express pur
pose of bringing them bound to the
chief priests, was now passionately ad
vocating that which he had so vehe
mently sought to destroy. When a
man is saved there ought to be such a
change as to cause the people to notice
** 4. The Jews Confounded (?. 22)'
Saul retired Into Arabia for three
yeaw. During this time he was taught
the full truths of his ministry (Gal.
1:17-18). Saul increased In spiritual
strength and confounded the Jews
proving that Jesus was not only the
Son of God, but their Messiah.
Saul Escape* From the Jews <yy.
AtTiiO) ?
He used the Scriptures with such
skill that the Jews could not answer
him Finding that the argument wag
against them, the Jews took counsel
how they might destroy Saul. So in
tent were they upon killing him that
vthey watched the gates of the city day
and night that they might take him.
When this became known to the dls
clples, they let him down at night in
a basket by the wall.
111. Saul Visit? Jerusalem (yy
2^20). v
w This Journey to Jerusalem was in
sirange contiust with the one from
Jerusalem to Damascus. The one was
as a leader of an important, expedition
under the authority of the Jewish of
ficers with the prospect of a place of
distinction In the council of the Jew
ish nation. Now he Is an outcast, dis
owned by his countrymen, and fleeing
for his life. These are the outward
circumstances, but he knows the fel
lowship of the Lord Jesus whom hi
once hated.
. 1. Suspected by the Disciples (v
26).
The believers at Jerusalem had not
heard fully about Saul's conversion.
They knew nothing of his sojourn In
Arabia, and his preaching at Damas
cus after his return. Therefore they
regarded him as a spy. "Part of the
penalty of wrongdoing Is the difficulty
of restoration In tli? good opinion of
honorable men."
2. Barnabas' Confidence In Saul (v.
27).
Barnabas was a man filled with the
Holy Spirit (Acts 11:24) and therefore
able to discern the reality of Saul's
conversion. He was In reality a "son
of consolation" and here showed his
kind spirit.
3. Saul in Fellowship With the Dis
ciples (v. 28).
He was not content merely to visit
with the brethren. He spoke boldly In
the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
IV. Saul Sent to Tardus (v. 30).
A conspiracy similar to that one at
Damascus was formed against Saul.
When the brethren knew of It they
sent him to Tarsus. Saul's life was
In danger everywhere except among
the Gentiles. He now Is back to the
place of his birth. The first and best
place for one's testimony Is In his
home. Saul's conversion was typical
of the conversion of the Jewish nation.
Their eyes will he opened by a per
sonal revelation of Jesus Chrlat to
them, and when they accept Him as
their Savior and Messiah, they will go
forth as witnesses to the G*?ntUe*.

Central of Georgia Railway
''The Right Way."
CENTRAL OF GEORGIA TELLS HOW AND WHY
RAILWAY IMPROVEMENTS ARE IMPORTANT
The public, whieh makes use of the railroads for traveling and shipping, understands in a general
way that transportation facilities must be kept up to a certain standard in order to provide satisfactory
service. Those not directly connected with transportation, however, probably do not realize the extent
and variety of the work that is continually in progress on a modern railroad.
The Central of Georgia Railway has during the past five years invested nearly 113,000,000 in road
and equipment. It is interesting to note some of the details ef the annual expenditures for this purpose
which totalled 24,225,000 in 1924. The purposes for which this money is spent indicate the growth and
prosperity of Central of Georgia territory and show that this railroad is doing its part to meet the in
greasing demands of business.
Important improvements in our transportation plant in 1924 included:
The re laying of 147 miles of track with heavier steel rail.
The'construction of 84 new industrial tracks, 24 new passing tracks and 8 miles of new road.
The ballasting for the first time of 92 miles of track and the renewal of ballast on 88 miles of track.
The replacement by permanent concrete of 5491 feet of culverts and embankments, and the rebuild
ing of 6201 feet of untreated pile and timber trestles with creosoted material.
The nenewal of more than half million crossties.
The installation of 14 miles ef telephone line to facilitate train dispatching.
The protection ef 9 highway grade crossings by signal bells of flashlight type.
The erection of 6 new water tanks.
The construction of three new steel and concrete bridges and a 700 foot underpass with concrete walls
was completed, 8 bridges were strengthened to permit the use of larger, heavier locomotives, work was
started on steel and reinforced concrete viaduct 1890 feet in length, and on 2 steel and concrete bridges.
The construction of new coach and paint shops at Savannah and new store and oil houses at Colum
bus, and a new turn-table at Maeon.
Revision of line and grades, elimination of grade crossings and curves on tlio Birmingham-Columbus
line, the largest single project of its kind ever undertaken by the Central of Georgia. Work started in
1924 and will be completed in 1925, '
The purchase of 10 locomotives and 15 all.steel passenger train cars and the building of 10 cabooses,
two tank cars and 3 roadway ears.
The railroads mnst continually provide additional facilities for handling the public's business. Our
list of pbysieal improvements in 1924 shows how the Central of Georgia is measuring up to this responsi
bility.
Increased facilities cost money?money that cau come only in small part from putting back into the
business what can be spared from current revenutg and that in the main mnst be borrowed.
The publie, we believe, realizes as never before the good results of a policy that will permit the rail"
roads to establish sound credit so that adequate transportation for the futuro may be provided.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.
