Paul, a Pharisee, stood by consenting
while Stephen waa stoned to death; and
later he had Christians dragged from
their homes and sent to prison.
Paul, "breathing out threatening &ad .
slaughter," started for Damascus, but a
great light shone and a voice said,
"Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?"
In Damascus the Lord came to Ananias,
a devout Christian, and told him to go
' to the street called Straight where he
would find Paul who had become blind.
Ananias went to Paul and, putting his
hands on him, straightway Paul re
covered his sight and was baptized.

RALEIGH The splratlng prices
of inflation carried North Carolina
revenues upward to new highs dur
ing September, the State Depart
ment of Revenue reported.
From all its tax sources, the
state gleaned a total of $10,231,283
in September, an increase of $2.
673,243 over the $7,608,040 collect
ed in the same month last year,
and collections for the first three
moJiths of the fiscal year soared
to $30,189,019. a ain of $7,096
360 over the first three months of
last year.
The state's automobile drivers
were responsible for the biggest in
crease recorded last month. Collec
tions by the highway fund totaled
$3,989,103, an increase of ,r)4.3( per
cent over the $2,584,155 taken in
during September last year The
gasoline tax accounted for $3 634 -404
of the highway fund's total
collections. Highway fund receipts
for the fiscal year mounted to $10,
859.647, a gain of $3,255,289 over
the same period last year.
Inflated prices, however, had
their most telling effect on the
sales tax w hich took in $2,853,647 in
September, an increase of nearly
$1,000,000 over the $1,899,153 pro
duced by the levy in September
of 1945. So far this fiscal year,
the sales tax has brought the state
a total of $8.0006,700 compared
with $5,492,046 in the first three
months of last year.
These record collections from the
sales tax, with increased receipts
from the income and the beverage
tax levies, resulted in collection
during September by the general
fund of a total of $6,292,180. an in
crease of $1,268,295 over September
of last year. During the first three
months of the fiscal year the gene
ral fund had collected $19,329,372
an increase of $3,84t,071 over the
$15,488,301 collected in the same
period last year.
Income tax collections in Sep
tember totaled $1,253,588 compar
ed with $1,105,993 in September
1945. and beverage tax receipts
climbed from $551,939 to $657,829.
WE STUDY today the conver
sion of Saul, Pharisee and perse
cutor of Christians, to Paul, the
apostle, assigned by divine com
mand to "carry the message to
the Gentiles."
When Stephen, the first Chris-
tian martyr, was stoned to death !
in Jerusalem. Saul, as he wa3 ;
then called, stood by. consenting
to his death. "And devout men ,
carried Stephen to his burial, and '
made great lamentation over
him." I
After the death of Stephen
there began the first persecution I
of the followers of Christ. Paul.j
was active in this persecution, ,
"making havock of the church. (
entering into every house, and
I halihg men and women committed
them to prison."
in a vision and told him to go to
the street called Straight and ask
at the house of Judas for Saul of
Tarsus who had had a vision of
a man named Ananias who would
come to him and restore his sight.
Ananias said that he had heard of
this man, Saul, and how he had
persecuted Christians, but the
Lord said, "Go thy way; for he is
a chosen vessel unto Me. to bear
My name before the Gentiles and
Kings, and the children of Israel."
Obediently Ananias hastened to
the street called Straight which
is still in Damascus and found
Paul. To him Ananias said,
"Crother Saul, the Lord, even
Jesus, that appeared unto thee in
the way as thou earnest, hath
sent me, that thou mightest re
ceive thv sight, and be fulfilled
with the Holy Ghost."
Thereupon, Ananias laid his
hands on Paul, .and straightway
his sight was restored, and he
arose and was baptized. Then he
ate and was strengthened, and
stayed some days with the breth
ren in Damascus.
Paul told of these wonderful
incidents when he was talking to
the mob in Jerusalem who were
Then Saul, "breathing out i intent on killing him, and also
threatenings and slaughter
against the disciples of the Lord,
went unto the high priest."
He asked for letters to the rul
ers of the synagogue in Damas
cus, so that if he found any of
these "heretics" there he would
bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Saul and his company started
to Damascus, but when they were
nearing the city, "about noon,"

Paul Regrets Past Life
All his life Paul mourned about
his actions before he saw the
light and haard the voice of Jesus
speaking to him. Writing to the
Corinthians, in I Corinthians 15:9,
he said, "For I am the least of
the apostles, that am not meet to
be called an apostle, because I

his horse. Out of the light a voice
said. "Saul, Saul, why persecutest
thou Me?" Trembling and aston
ished. Saul asked, "Who art Thou,
Lord?" and the voice answered,
"I am Jesus whom thou persecut
est: it is hard for thee to kick
against the pricks."
Men Speechless
The men who were with him
were speechless with amazement,
as they saw the light but did not
hear what was said. Saul asked
what the Lord would have him
do, and he was told to go into the
city, "and it shall be told thee
what thou must do."
When Saul rose to his feet he
could not see. and he remained
blind for three days and nights
after his men had led him into
the city, and he neither ate nor
drank.
Now in Damascus lived a man
named Ananias who was a devout
man, and to him the Lord ifme
But by the grace of God I am

And again in Galatians: "But I

In this dramatic manner. Saul's
life was altered, and be became
"the mcst successful promoter of
Christianity," instead of the cruel
persecutor of its followers.

Timely, Practical

Suggestions
By RUTH CURRENT
N .S. State College
After selecting the foods which
are the best sources of essential
nutrients, they must be eared for
properly so that their food value
will be conserved. Prepare them
for the table by the methods which
not only will conserve their nutri
ents, but which at the same time
will give the most attractive and
palatable product.
Losses in food value may be
kept at a minimum by observing
the following rules:
Foods high in protein, such as
meats, eggs, and cheese, should
be cooked at a low temperature.
Foods high in fat should never
be cooked at temperatures high
enough to cause the fat to smoke.
Loss in vitamins is very rapid
after the fruit or vegetables have
been peeled, and so these foods
should be peeled just before eating
or cooking.
Both vitamins and minerals are
lost if fruits and vegetables are
allowed to stand in water after
peeling.
It Is wise to cook vegetables of
fruit in the skins often.
HATS ON A CA.MPUS?
"Miss Jones," said the proprie
tor of Ye College Hat Shoppe to
one of his assistants, "I guess the
girls are looking forward to the
arrival of the new professor next
week. Does anyone know what he
looks like?"
"Yes,"' replied the girl, "I've seen
his picture. He's tall and good-
looking and about twenty - eight.
And I understand he's not mar
ried." "Splendid!" said the proprietor.
"Then we'll put all the new hats
in the front window right away."
Buried Standing Up
In Hyde county, North Carolina, a
man tired of lying on his invalid's
bed directed that he be buried
standing up.
Minerals and vitamins are con
served by cooking quickly in just
as small an amount of water as
possible.
Water in which meat or vege
tables are cooked should be saved
and used in soups or sauces.
Thrifty gardeners who have
space for storage, grow enough
vegetables not only to eat and to
can, but to lay away for winter
use. They will have timed their
plantings so that the storable vege
tables will be mature at the proper
time not too early and not too
late.
