PAUL MAKES A NEW START
International Sunday School Les
son for October 13, 1946
Golden Text: “Faithful is the
saying, and worthy of all accep
tation, that Christ Jesus came
into the world to save sinners.”—
I Timothy 1:15.
Lesson Text: Acts 26:9-18; I
Corinthians 15:8-10.
The Christian faith developed
quickly in Jerusalem following
the Resurrection, the Forty Days,
and the Ascension of Christ. Fif
ty days after his resurrection,
Peter’s arousing sermon at Pen
tecost was followed by the faith
of 3,000 people, and from then on
the number of adherents to the
new faith multiplied rapidly,
stimulated by the incessant tes
timony of the new converts.
This growth was so rapid that
the apostles were too busy
preaching to attend to the prop
er administration of charity,
whereupon seven deacons were
appointed to look after this
branch of the work. Stephen was
the outstanding leader of this
group, being full of energy in
missionary activity and by rea
son of his intelligent presenta
tion of the new cause confound
ed the Jewish leaders, who sought
to argue with him. As a result of
the enmity thus created, Stephen
was stoned to death and became
the first Christian martyr.
While the martyrdom of Ste
phen was the tragic end of a bril
liant career, it had far greater
significance in that it turned out
to be the initial step in the con
version of Saul of Tarsus, a man
of great intelligence, ceasless en
ergy, and far-seeing wisdom. At
this time Saul was one of the

HYDRAULIC POWR-TROL .. NEWEST
DEVELOPMENT IN FARM EQUIP
MENT .... ANNOUNCED BY
LOCAL JOHN DEERE DEALER
POWR-TROL ELIMINATES
LIFTING, LOWERING AND
REGULATING OF FARM
EQUIPMENT BY HAND
Farmers of this community
will be interest to know that A.
G. Perry & Son, local John Deere
Farm Equipment dealer, is an
nouncing one of the most impor
tant new'farm equipment devel
opments in recent years the
new John Deere Hydraulic Powr-I
Trol.
Engineered by John Deere, this
time- and labor-saving device is
a radical departure from the
conventional method of lifting,
lowering and regulating drawn I
implements by hand. Safe, ■
smooth, positive, hydraulic power■
does the job—relieves the opera
tor of reaching for hand-li.it lev
ers on drawn implements, lifting
and lowering by hand, and tug- ■
ging on ropes. He merely drives j
the tractor and watches his work ’
At a touch on a convenient :
control lever, Powr-Trol raises
and lowers plow bottoms or discs
grain drill openers—mower cut
ter bars —combine platforms—
corn picker gatherers - potato
digger shovels, etc.—angles and
straightens disc harrow gangs—
instantly changes working angle,
depth or height of drawn imple
ments to meet varying field and
crop conditions without stopping
the tractor or even slowing down
According to A. G. Perry &
Son, the Powr-Trol operates |
drawn implements by means of
a single remote cylinder which
attaches to the implement and •
is connected to the tractor bv |
two hoses. The cylinder has a
double action. Moving the con- |
trol lever backward or forward
exerts hydraulic pressure thru ■
the hoses in either direction to
force a piston rod in or out ol
the cylinder, thereby actuating
the equipment. This not only as
sures a positive lift but it also
forces and holds the implement
to its work in any position se
lected by the operator. Two
ring leaders in suppressing the
new religion.
As a member of the Sanhedrin,
Saul was influential in harassing
the new converts, confessing la
ter to his zeal in dragging man
and women to prison. Saul was a
witness to the death of Stephen
and was seriously disturbed in
wardly by the dying man’s prayer
for the forgiveness of his ene
mies and his heroic attitude.
However, Saul’s first reaction
to the campaign of persecution
was greater activity. Probably
seeking to still the questions
which had been raised in his own
soul, Saul requested authority of
the high priest that he might go
to Damascus and bring back all
members of the new faith found
there as prisoners. Damascus was
a magnificent city at that time,
about 136 miles from Jerusalem,
or a six-day journey. It dated
back to antiquity for Josehphus
says it was founded by Uz, the
grandson of Shem,
Before Saul arrived in Damas
cus, however, his life was turned
into different channels. On the
road he was visited by the Christ
he persecuted, and appearing so
near that Saul himself in later
years listed it among the first
appearances of Jesus on earth
after his resurrection. Saul was
struck blind and had to be led
by hand into Damascus. There for
three days he fasted and prayed
until Ananias, a disciple of Christ,
had been commanded and in re
sponse thereto came to Saul and
restored his sight, confirming
the divine nature of the experi
ence he had undergone en route.
Saul had never been an im
moral or irreligious man. He had
speeds are provided so that the
operator can raise or lower the
implement in a jiffy or slowly
to secure any accurate in-be
tween position.
Integral equipment is operated
from the rock shaft by the same
control level in much the same
manner as with the hydraulic
power lift, pioneered by John
Deere, excepting for an impor
tant new feature—accurate, va
riable depth control. The opera
tor can quickly and easily secure
any desired intermediate work
ing position between maximum
lift and maximum depth by
touching the control lever and
releasing it when the desired po
sition has been reached. This can
be done while the tractor is in
motion or stationary.
A. G. Perry & Son claims that
the new John Deere Hydraulic
Powr-Trol means easier, faster,
better work on every job. It’s an
exclusive John Deer feature, de
signed for John Deere models
“A”, “B” and “GM” tractors and
companion John Deere farm
equipment. According to A. G.
Perry & Son, Powr-Trols will be
evailable in very limited quanti
ties during the next few months
However, ne adds, everything is
being dope at the factory to in
crease the production and. in
line with the John Deere policy
of Oxtering John Deere owners
the advantages of modern im
provemerits wherever possible,
the new Powr-Trol has been de
signed to fit the above tractors
now in the field which are equip
ped with a hydraulic power lift
having a drop-regulating valve.
Change-over assemblies will be
evailable at a later date.
All John Deere integral equip
ment which works with the hy
draulic power lift on the above
tractors is adaptable to Powr-
Trol operation without change.
Change-over parts for converting
certain older John Deere drawn
implements to remote-cylinder
operation are in the process of
design or manufacture.—(Adv.)

been raised as a strict Pharisee, j
zealous for the Law, and had
been unlimited in his fidelity to
the truth as it had appeared to
him.
What happened in the life of
Saul? We call it conversion. Such
a transformation is possible in
the life of all who really come
into contact with Jesus Christ.
Charles Reynolds Brown, in “Five
Young Men,” has this to say:
“It is possible for the inner
life of a man to be so wrought
upon by the action of the Spirit
of God that the corrupt nature is
cleansed, the weak nature is
made strong, the selfish disposi
tion is transformed into benign
love.
“It matters little how you go
about it, if you go with sincere
faith. You may seek for that re
newal through the regenerating ,
influence of the Sacraments. If, i
you find it there, it will be be- '
cause Christ is within the Sacra
ment. You may seek for it in ,
those profound emotional reac- ,
tions which come at the mourn- ,
ers’ bench. If you find it there, ■
it will be because the spirit of
Christ was operating through |
those feelings. You qaay find it;
as you make an about-face, turn- ’
ing away from that which is evil'
and making Christian duty your j
supreme choice in the quiet of ■
vour own room. If you rind it
there, it will be because Christ
was present in those movements
of your inner life.
“If any man will seek for mor
al renewal at the hands of God
he will find. If he will knock at
any one of the doors it will open.
“Here is the gospel as it stands
recorded on the pages of the Old
I Testament—‘The spirit of the'
Lord shall come upon thee and
I thou shalt be turned into anoth- ;
5 er man.’ Here is the same gos-'
pel as it stands recorded on the
pages of the New Testament—
‘lf any man is in Christ, he is
a new creature’.”
DALE CARNEGIE
ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST
In 1869 Sustan B. Anthony was
ion a speaking tour across the
I United States. She was trying to
convince people that women
should be allowed to vote. Seems
queer today, but at that time it
was a tremendous issue.
She found that one of the
places listed on her schedule was
Cheyenne, Wyo. She had never
been in Wyoming, knew little or
nothing about Cheyenne. She
was tired and it did not seem
worth while to make a speech
there. She was about to wire
ahead and tell them that she
would be unable to speak, when i
la motto came to her. It was her
i own motto, but it was a hard one
always to follow. It was: “Always
do your best.”
So instead of wiring on ahead.

I When infected teeth, tonsils,
j gums are removed there is often
■ an increase in the symptoms due
to poisons from these infected
parts getting into the blood. How
ever, by exercise, keeping bowels
open, and getting out into the
fresh air the poisons in the blood
will get out of the system sooner.
Some one has put it this way “the
factory—teeth, tonsils —has closed
down but goods (poisons) are still
lying on the shelves and must be
gradually removed.
she got of at Cheyenne and
went to the hall where she was
to speak. When she looked the
crowd over she was discourag
ed; for it was composed chief
ly of cowboys and prospectors
and “floaters” people who
didn’t want their names known
or anything about them.
She thought: “I’ll spare my
self. There’s nobody of conse
quence here. I’ll just slide thru
my speech.”
Then she remembered her
motto and did her very best. Aft
er the speech was over, some of
the men came up and talked to
her and she talked to them earn
estly and sincerely.
Then she left.
After she was gone she asked
herself, “Was it worth it?”
A few months afterward she
got as astounding telegram. It
said: “The territory of Wyoming,
through its legislators, has voted
to extend to the women of the
territory the right to vote.” That
was one of the most astonishing
telegrams she ever received. For
Wyoming thus became the first

ARMY BELONGS TO PEOPLE
Atlanta, Ga.—The American
Army belongs to the American
people and the people are en
titled to know whether or not a
man wearing a uniform is a sol
dier or a private citizen wearing
parts of a uniform he has ob
tained from sources other than
the Army, Lieut.-Gen. O. W.
Griswold, Commanding General,
Seventh Army, said today.
In commenting on the uniform
situation, Gen. Griswold said:
“It is a compliment to American
industrial mobilization for so
much army equipment and cloth
ing to be used for work and sport
use, but it is confusing to the
i public. I have instructed my
Commanders to enforce uniform
regulations so that the public
will not confuse soldiers with
other persons wearing parts of
uniforms.”
Uniform regulations issued to
all military units in the Third .
Army Area prohibit the wearing I
of incomplete uniforms, mixed
] summer and winter clothing, and
dirty or disheveled uniforms.
| The Third Army Area comprises
j the states of Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee,
North Carolina and South Caro
i lina. Known as the Third Army
| Area, this section is garrisoned
I by the Seventh Army.
“The Southeastern States are
j rich in military tradition. I want
I Seventh Army soldiers to live up
to those traditions by wearing
| the uniform correctly,” General
Griswold said.
REALLY ECONOMICAL
Husband: “You’re not economi- i
| cal enough in these times; you i
I will have to alter or else you will
ruin me.”
Wife: “Well, if you don’t call a
woman economical who saves her
wedding dress for a possible sec
ond marriage, I’d like what you
; think economy is.”
