EAST MONET | ... ... 1 A farmer and a professor were sitting next to each other on a train. The farmer started a conver sation and they soon became friend ly- “ Let’s have a game of rid ’les to pass the time,” said the professor. “If I have a riddle you can't guess, you give me half a dollar, or vice versa.” “All right,” replied the farmer, "but as you are better educated than I am, do you mind if I only give a quarter?” "Right,” replied the professor. “You go first.” “Well, what animal has throe legs walking and two legs flying?” “I don’t know. Here’s your 59 cents. What’s the answer?” “I don’t know either. Here’s your quarter,” answered the farmer. Army Life Private—Did I ever tell you how I v;orked my jujitsu on the sergeant?

SAUL BECOMES A NEW MAN LESSON TEXT: Acts 91-9. 13-19*. GOLDEN TEXT: If any man be In Christ, he Is a new creature.—ll Corinthians 5:17 The lives of great men inspire us with an eagerness to make our own lives count for God and for country. Particularly is that true of the life of the apostle Paul, for he combined personal greatness with an absolute surrender and devotion to Christ, which made his life doubly effective. We recall, however, that this peer less leader for Christ was at first the bitter enemy of everything Christian and we ask, “What changed this man?” The answer is— the redeeming grace of God—but that is the story of our lesson. He became a changed man as he went— I. From Threatening to Trembling (vv. 1-7). The enemies of God and of our Christ are often loudmouthed and terror-spreading individuals, who, for a time, strike fear into the hearts of men. Such was Saul of Tarsus, and such are the antichristian lead ers of our day. They seem to be so powerful and able to sweep all before them. But wait! Luther said of God’i archenemy, “One little word shall fell him,” and it is true. See what happened to Saul. Off on his jour neys of persecution and destruction, bold and determined, he met Jesus on the Damascus road, and the great threatener is found to be “trembling and astonished” (v. G). The Lord is still on His throne, ■nd one day every mouth shall be stopped (Rom. 3:19), and all His enemies shall tremble before Him, Would that they would do it while there is time to repent. 11. From Persecuting to Praying (vv, 2,8, 9; see also v. 11). Paul utterly devoted to the root ing out of this hated sect of Chris tians was on his way with lettera authorizing their imprisonment. It was all very official, zealous and marvelous in men’s sight, until he met Jesus, and it all blew away. Ananias, that faithful layman (may his tribe increase!), was called of God to go and speak to the stricken SaUl. When he feared to go, God encouraged him (v. 15), for the powerful persecutor had now be come a penitent pray-er (v. 11). That’s what a face to face meeting with Jesus did for Paul—yes, end will de for any man or woman. 111. From Scoffing to Suffering (vv. 1, 13-16). Saul doubtless gloried in the breathing out of threatenings and slaughter of which we read in verse 1. He was riding high in the seat of authority and of official approval. It was satisfying to his fleshly pride to make known his dreadful purposes of destruction and imprisonment for these helpless Christians. Did we say helpless? Oh, no, they had on their side all the power of the Eternal One. He who touches the people of God touches the Lord Himself. Paul thought he was fight ing a little sect of Christians, but found that he was fighting the Lord Himself (v. 5). But now that he had met Jesus and was ready to turn in devotion to His sacred cause, he was to learn what it meant to suffer. Let us note well that suffering for the sake of one's faith may be entirely within the will of God, yes, and for His glory. i IV. From Spiritual Death to Spir | itual Life (vv. 17-19). Men have tried to explain the ex perience of conversion on the ground of psychology, as a cataclysmic change in the life of an individual who has gone through some great sorrow or trial, but it simply will not go down. There is in real con version a regeneration which means a completely changed life. Saul did have a sudden and mov ing experience on the Damascus road, but it was not just because of a blinding light and a mighty voice. It was a light “from heaven” (v. 4), and the voice of the Lord. Saul was "filled with the Holy Ghost,” and received his sight. He j was ready now to be used of the Lord as the greatest missionary evangelist and theologian that the world has ever known. This change was one which reached down into his inmost being and transformed his beliefs. The ■ Jesus he had hated, now became hi* j all consuming passion and love. He j no longer looked to his work* to j save him, for now he knew the per ■ sonal Saviour. What happened within showed it self in his attitude toward those without. It always docs. He now came to love the very people he had hated and persecuted, and turned every bit of his strength and ability into the task of working with them in the spreading of the gospel throughout the world. Men and women—yes, boys and girls—today need this same change from death to life. Too long have we been trying to polish up the ex terior of lives unchanged withia I POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT I am in the race for Represen tative from Houston County in the next general assembly.
