A Strange Roadside Meeting That Has Changed History Aristocratic Young Jewish Scholar, A Persecutor Os Christians, Encounters Marvellous Experience On Damascus Road — The Power That Changes Times, And Makes Men Great.

_____ By WILLIAM T. ELLIS I fear that many young men today, even of those who are highly educated, are not aware of the 1 greatness of the times in which they live. That fact is a social disaster worse than drought or floods or earthquakes. For the one su- ’ premely important thing in life is the attitude and character of human beings. To dwell in a day of destiny, and to know it not, is nothing less than tragedy. Not for a century past has there been such a call for high, heroic living as today. Vast events are shaping; and their outcome depends wholly upon the sort of men and women who rise to the emergency of gulding them. If Europe could transI form such commonplace men as .Mussolini. Hitler and Stalin into' dictators of destiny, what should ; we not rightly expect of the better stock of the United States and Canada? “We are living, we are dwelling, In a grand and awful time; In an age on ages telling: To be living is sublime.” An Hour For Leaders Like a clarion call from an enabling heaven and from a needy earth, comes the summons of this Lesson to young men to do something splendid with their livet* Our Scripture is the story of a brilliant, conventional young Jew, i . named Saul of Tarsus, who was a ; militant servant of the old order. 1 until he saw a great Light, and found a greater mission, and be--1 came one of the flaming, deathless [ heroes of history, a leader whose I influence has continued increasingly to this day. His career is a challenge to our young Sauls to 1 discover his secret, his motive, his Power and then, like him to fling their lives into the same [ with utter abandon. I Every community, and every group and cause in our time, is waiting for new leaders, full of the impetuousness of youth, who cannot be deterred from their mission by little criticisms or petty obstacles. Civic organizations, service clubs, political parties, social I groups, and especially, churches 1 and Sunday schools, are crying out !»»•»»»*»• «****«»»• The Sunday School Lesson for August 9 is How Saul Saw The Light.—Acts 9:1-31: Gal. 1:11-17; I Tim. 1:12-17. * * * »''« »' » • »’ • »»»»»»».

for new and nobler leadership. What a mission of might awaits the young men who see in the millions of members of the Sunday school a field for fullest service. The great ones who once tired the Sunday school to crusading zeal are dead, and without successors. Locally and nationally, the need is acute for men and women dominated by a passion for Christ and for childhood. Nobody becomes great by seeking greatness. Only be devotion to great causes, in self-forgetful service, is real leadership attained. Saul possessed a passion for ministry; it mattered not to him whether it was large or small; and lo’ without his intention or expectation he became one of the loft- [ iest figures on history’s horizon. Ciphers And Digits Most of us are ciphers, until we put our lives on tße right side of the proper digit, or personality, i No zero was, this university-bred I young man of Tarsus, but he did ; not come into his life of leadership i and power until he had ranged ; himself aiong-side of Jesus Christ | as the Master who set his soul on I fire. This story of the changing of the ! changing of the life of Saul is a romance of never ending interest, i He was early a marked man, in high favor with the leaders of his nation at the capital. When anything was goin forward for the preservation of the status quo, he 1 was in it. At the stoning of the : first Christian martyr, Stephen, he stood, hot-eyed, on the edge of the mob, egging them on and guard- ■ ing their garments—for his social position as an aristocrat kept him from being one of the rabble of stone-hurlers. Nobody beholding the scene, least of all the Christians, could have imagined that this fierce fanatic, this intolerant inciter of persecution, was destined one day to he the outstanding ! leader of Stephen's sect of Christians, and a world figure whose influence would outlast any existing empire. Not Learning, But Light Herein we find an impressive paradox, not without present significance. Saul was changed from presecutor to propagandist, not by an elaborate process of reasoning, such as we would naturally expect in the case of an intellectual like him. but by an emotional experience. Supercilious sophisticates in our time decry religious emotionalism. They write down revivals as primitive. Such critics overlook the accepted place of emotion in

human relations, in patriotism, in social service and In literature. Yet they cannot get away from the historic fact that the Apostle Paul, who was one of the intellectual giants of the ages, was converted to Christianity, not by philosophy, but by a vision. One day he met Jesus on the Damascus Road, and that changed everything for him. It is not great brains, but great hearts, that are going to save our civilization. Not learning, but spiritual Light, will show us "the way out.” Doubtless, this Saul, had he not taken the Damascus Road, would have developed into one of the learned, dry-as-dust theologians of the Jewish Sanhedrin. Under the impact and impulsion of Jesus Christ he became far greater in every respect, than would have been otherwise possible. TTis keen mind sensed this. His later writings are full of discussion of the sufficiency of Christ. Deliberately, he wrote dowh as a life principle, in simple words that have been the stimulus of uncounted Christians since, “I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me.” Conversion may do more than college for a young life. This absorbing sense of the power of Christ became the life passion of the Apostle Paul It begot everything for him. It took him into the presence of kings and councils. and made him a transforming force in the nations of his day. It gave him a new purpose in life, new and nobler intellectual conceptions, ne wstandards for human conduct, new fellowships and new compensations. Truly could he say, in the fullness of his experience, "For to me to live is Christ.” Blind In Order To See So dazzling was the light which smote Saul as he neared Damascus that it blinded him for three days— three days of such mental and emotional stress as we cannot imagine. He had seen Jesus. He had heard His voice. And this made a ne wman of him. He was to retire into Arabia for three years for the pondering of the new life and leading that had come unto him. Later, he was to spend sequestered years in Tarsus: for such a might mission as lay ahead ci him needed profound pondering and preparation. To Saul it was given to become the foremost interpreter of Christ and of the body of Christian doctrine.
