BROADENING CHRISTIAN HORI ZOXS: SAUL’S CONVERSION LESSON TEXT— Acts 9:1-16. GOLDEN TEXT—I uas not disobedient unto the heavenly vision Acla 26;19. The conversion of Saul is recog nized as one of the outstanding Events iu Bible history. When two I brilliant English lawyers, Lord Lyt tleton and Sir Gilbert West, set out to disprove the truth of Christianity, they selected the resurrection of Christ and the story of Paul’s con version as the focal points of their proof. Working independently, they then came together to compare notes, and found that they had both become Christians as they had be come convinced of the truth of the Scriptures. The two events may well stand together as mighty evidence for , Christianity, for only on the ground of regeneration can the change in Saul be accounted for, and only on the assurance that he met the risen Christ on the Damascus road can we account for his conversion. This is a great lesson, let us make the very most of it. I. Saul, a Bold Persecutor (vv. 1,2). As our lesson opens we find the brilliant and zealous young Jew, ,Saul, '‘yet breathing out threaten ings and slaughter against the dis ciples of the Lord." The persecu tions in Jerusalem had practically wiped out the church in that city, bpt had scattered the disciples abroad, and thus the witness had been spread. The death of the godly .S.tephen, to which Saul had given his approval, had only increased his determination to destroy those who .were "of the way” of Jesus. Looking for new fields to conquer, he car ried with him to Damascus letters from the high priest at Jerusalem, giving him authority to imprison the ! followers of Christ. But on the way , he met Christ Himself, and was stricken to the earth. 11. Saul, a Convicted Sinner (vv. 3-9). Stricken down by a brilliant heav enly light, he finds himself talking to the Lord Jesus. He hears from iss holy lips the solemn indictment of. those who persecute God’s peo ple--“ Why persecutes: thou me?” He who lays unkind hands upon, or brings untrue accusation against. God’s children had best bew’are, for so closely is our Lord identified with : His people that when they suffer, it is' tie who bears the hurt. In a single sentence the Lord dis poses of the persecuting zeal and the sinful skepticism of this proud young Pharisee, and Saul enters into Damascus not as the haughty per secutor, but as a man trembling and astonished. He spends three days shut in with his own soul and God. not seeing, not caring to eat, but entering into communion with God. By God’s grace the old life is pulled up by the roots as it is displaced by the new life in Christ Jesus. HI. Ananias, an Obedient Disci ple (vv. 10-12). Ananias was the ”1 am here. Lord” type of Christian to whom the Lord could confidently commit His important business. AH we know of him is what is contained in this chapter, but it is a very beautiful and enviable record. God is able to work directly on any human soul and accomplish His end (as He did with‘‘Saul on the Damascus road), but His usual manner of working is thrpugh faithful human agencies. One wonders how much would be accomplished for God if every Chris tian were as willing and ready as was Ananias to do the Lord's bid ding in seeking out and helping a struggling soul. ; The greatest of al) Christian lead ers, tfie apostle Paul, was led out into, his life Os loyalty and service to Christ by a humble layman. Re peatedly God’s Word by precept and example stresses the vital impor tance of personal work on the part of laymen ar.d women. The leaders of Christian work during the com ing generation are now ir. the Sun day school classes of our churches, perhaps in a little wayside chapel in the country, in the village church, tn the mission or settlement house, or in the great city church. IV. Saul, a Chosen Witness (vv. 15. 16). The fears of Ananias that Saul might still be a worker of evil (v. 13) were soon overcome by God’s assurance that in the praying Saul He had prepared for Himself “a chosen vessel” (v. 15) to bear the gospel to the Gentiles and to kings, as well as to Israel. The great witness of Saul was to be accompanied by great suffering. ■ How often the two go together, and >both may be (as they were in Paul’s We) for God’s glory. Saul knew nothing of that subtle hypocrisy known as being “a secret believer,” for at once he made open confes sion of his faith in baptism, and “straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues that he is the Son of God” (v. 20).

AH children should be vaccinated as soon as they be gin to eat and drink as do other children and adults. No person gets too old to have the disease,! and having typhoid does not pro duce immunity against the disease. Any person can have typhoid fever itwo or three times.” Physicians advise that after vac cination, great care should be ex- ] ercised in regard to eating and! drinking: It is pointed out that' the disease is caused by eating and [drinking the typhoid germs that have come from the intestinal tract | of some other person. Youngsters are warned against swimming in; polluted streams because it is di rectly responsible for many cases . of the disease. j Tar Heel farmers received sl4,- : 876,000 in 1040 in the form of gov- j ernment payments, reports the) I Federal-State crop reporting ser- !

Fessenden , pioneer in continuous wave teleg raphy, whose experiments and discoveries on Roanoke Island in 1902 were among the most out standing in the history of radio science, is gaining momentum and support throughout the State, ac cording to Victor Meekins, who is chairman of a committee of local people who seek to establish the memorial in 1942. 1 Carroll A. Wilson. Roanoke Rap ids publisher, and highway com missioner from the first district, has joined the movement, and con tributed financially to the cause, Mr. Meekins stated. U. S. Senator J. W. Bailey, this week sends his endorsement of the movement, and has accepted a place on the National Advisory Council of which Governor Brough ton is chairman. On this council are men high in the business and military life of the Nation. Gordon Gray, well known leader and newspaper publisher of Wins ton-Salem has contributed finan cially to the movement, and also Josh L. Home of Rocky Mount, newspaper publisher and a mem ber of the Board of Conservation and Development. M iss Beatrice Cobb, secretary of the N. C. Press Association, and committeewoman of the National Democratic Party has contributed financially, Mr. Meekins said. Os great interest is the fact that H. R. Craddock, a Manns Harbor fisherman and businessman, with out having been approached re garding the matter, made a finan cial contribution, and promised further aid, he continued. Meanwhile, men prominent in the business life of the nation, par ticularly in the field of radio, con tinue to write in concerning their approval of the movement. The plan is to dedicate a small •park on the west side of the Is land as a Fessenden Memorial Park. This site was a Civil W’ar fort captured by Federal forces during the Civil War. It was used as a site for the Fessenden labora tories in 1902. Mrs. Fessenden, Widow of the inventor, died in Bermuda on April 17th, after she had given her ap proval for the project. The only son, Lt. Col. Reginald J. Fossen den of Connecticut has expressed great pleasure at the action of North Carolinians in honoring his distinguished father. MRS. C. R.
