IH:XXXXXXXXXX3CXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX2'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: UNION RECORDER, MILLEDGEVILLE, GA., JULY 1>, 1«U INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY ' School lesson for july n Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D.. Awoci- tr Genwel Secretary of The NVorlu'a Su»«Uy School A*, •ociation r b uI never had any use for hi» let- 0 f authority in Damascus, which i; brought from the Sanhedrin at ler*u#lcm. He came to arrest those wh<l in that city were believing in (l f Nazareth as the Sent of God. ;Vhfft he hod that life-changing re flation outside the city his entire rhanged inetanly. As was recovered from his blindness he was eager to tell others about the difference in his own atti tude. Being a devout Jew he made hi- point of contact with the audience .,f his fellows in the synagogue. The hearers could not believe their own ears, for they had known about the havoc that Saul had made elsewhere when he found any believers in purpos* Christ. With the zeal of an rodent personal faith and ability as a trained speaker Saul, or Paul as he was later colled begun his arguments and proved by irrefutable evidence that this Jesus was the long expected Messiah, j Saul was a great scholar, trained by famous teachers and was unusually able in debate. While his audiences might be forced to concede his con clusions they were not always sympa thetic with what they could not deny. Even for himself there was much to be thought through. For the pur pose of having time for meditation and prayer Saul soon left Damascus for some place in Arabia. Clear rec ord of this is found in Galatians 1:16- 18. By comparison note that Moses spent forty years in special prepara tion in Arabia for his leadership of Israel out of Egypt, and Jesus was forty days in the Wilderness, con templating his great mission after the descent of the Holy Spirit at the Jor dan. From the desert school of many months Saul returned to Damascus and again took up his teachings in that city. Plots were now laid against this one who had severely persecuted others. Watchers were set to seize him if he fled from the city. These plans were discovered by those who were eager to save the life of this one who proclaimed such a religion of joy and hope. It was possible to avoid seizure by lowering Saul in a baske. from a window that overhung one of the walls and so he escaped and hastened to the disciples at Jerusalem. There Saul had his sur prise for thef*e leaders in the church would not accept him ns a convert in view of the way he had made havoc by awful persecution, and particul arly by having part in the stoning of Stephen, the first Christian martyr. R.ninbas was the one who chant- pioned a Saul rnd helped them to see that the conversion before the walls 01' Damascus was genuine. They were further convinced as Saul "preached boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus" even when many seeking to kill him because of the position he had taken. In ordi •■ave his life the brethren decided that it was better for hint to preach else where for a time, and Saul used the opportunity of returning to Tar his home town in Cilicia. He remain- ‘■d there until they wanted a preacher at Antioch where already there were oiany converts, and many n daily inquiring about the Je.MUs Way 01 living. It was at Antioch that the "disciples were first called Chris- i. n. m crary death victim I IN MACON (Macon News) I. N.
