On Damascus Road World May Find The Great Change Roads to Versailles (k*neva and Munich [lave Lailed: Now Try the Damascus Road Hith Its Experience of LifeChanging— How Christianity's Greatest Figure ( ame to do an About Face.

•y WILLIAM T. ELLIS Kwlt Peter, eater Peul. For threw months the fltmday Schools have tH-ea studying the life and words of the flahernian apostle; now they enter upon a similar course tu the life of Peal, whose name means i Uttle " but who becMto the big pest Mingle product ot the Christian religion Here la a hero of finer character, fluer miud and grantor work than aturdy Peter. l*aul was a gßUil.«tuan and a nebular, aud he achieved the moat «m waturoua and effective Ufa ot all the disciple* ot Jesus His la a apecta< ular Inatame of a strong ma.i'a Ute being changed by an emotional experience By * all considerations of logic, this brilliant young Itellectual should hare been affected only by reason He was a university sue a proud i’hartoee Hie training bad been 'ot the best As s schoolman, he was dominated by bls tatoilectual convict kma. Yet thia highbrow, thia achoUr. waa suddenly turned upside down I and inside out and right-about face by an emotional experience that roads like au incident from an old-taahioned Methodist campmeeting. The entire course of Paul's life, and his very nature Itself were transformed by a dramatic personal experience of the risen Christ Back to Damascus Road In the familiar and evev-drainat-ic story there Is an urgent summona to mankind to take the Damascus Road Our experts, in government, economics. Industry, sociology ad politics, have all tailed us. They have led us In strange roads that have ended only in fog and bog No fact of the past ten years is more outstanding than the futility of the leaderships we trusted We have witnessed a parade, of the great ones of earth confeMlng themselves mistaken and baffled Still the world abides In a state of bewilderment and frustration. Frankly, mankind has not brains enough to pull society out of the mesa Into which incompetent leadership let it drift. The helplessness of the world, in the presence of Its greatest crisis, is a tragic spectacle. At last, according to many evidences. people are turning back io the Damascus Hoad, the symbol lof the power of a great spiritual experience. What happened to Paul may happen to anybody else who comes Into personal relationship with Jesus Christ. There is an educational power in an emotional crisis that has been underestimated by the pedagogues The two commonest examples ot I thia are in the realms of religion and personal affect lon A young man meets the woman whom he at i once learns to love. That passion I becomes the supreme factor in his | life. It changes his entire outlook land even hie character. He la made ■ a new aud uubier man by the ex- . pertence of human love. Likewise, myriads have met aud i become enamoured with, the Havlour of souls They are Ibern-uiMin I changed, radically and permanently. even as was Paul on the Da- , niaacus Road Ufa takes on a new I meaning, and they find themselves tn possession of new powers, so ( thst they cait w *’h Paul, “! can do all things through Christ Who atrcugihcneth iue" Our an- | pretne hope for the aatvaglug of I civilisation lies tn the expectation , that the number of these diviucly empowered lives will quickly Increase. The road to Geneva and the roan to Munich have failed us: let ns turn to the Damascus road. Right About Face Paul's life met Its great reversal when he waa <m the way to Damascus from Jerusalem He was going to a definite destination, filled i with a hot purpose. If bo had been i loafing, in luie speculation, by the roadside, he doubt loss never would have met the Master Who at once tanre to dominate his life There ia little hope for the purposeless, uninterested, do-nothing type of , character Although his whole life was Isase• • s e s leeeesssse •Ths Sunday School Lesson for April 2 is.

t beaded the wrong way. Paul was given an arresting vision, which turned him right-about-face. Ail the force of his former, tanticlem • and anti-Christian seal, was conr verted into greater effectiveness ’ I when h« began to follow Christ. • At midday, a great light shone from heaven, and Paul was blind- • ed. that be might aee. A Yoke waa ‘ heard. "Saul! Saul! Why perse « cutest thou Mer Pros' rate be- • tore this wonder, the scalot learned the Identity of the Voice; aud ' received instructions for his new way His attendants led him by the hand Into Damascus! where he J sat fasting for three days, pond--1 erlng and praying. Then a disciple. Ananias, was sent to Paul, with the words of release and counsel. Ananias had at I first shrunk from the common to visit this arch-persecutor, sud attempted to argue with God But he • soon obeyed and to him was given the ineffable privilege of baptising this greateat of ail the serv- . anta of God. Raul, the persecutor, i had become Paul, the propagandI Ist. ( I Throughout his adventurous life. ( Paul kept alluding to his marvellous conversion G<>d had laid hold r of his heart and j“lt to the heart and not the brain. That to the highest doth attain." The man whose heart has been I mastered by God finds all of hla . powers thereafter exercised In pursuit of the Divine will. The Damascus Road Today . i it may help make vivid this hie- . toric event to recall the state <»f . i the road from Jerusalem to DallaMcas today. Paul would not be .'permitted to make the trip nows- , daya. The roads are closed by the ' twenty-thousand Britiah soldiers I I who overrun the unhappy land. Ev- , I en a small caravan, such as Paul's ,: would run the risk of being bomb(l ed or machine-gunned from the air. Jesus and HI" group could not I ' | today walk the ways once familiar . to their feet. A reign of terror prevails in the unholy laud once call- ! ed Holy. Os the nine hundred thousand Arabs now in Palestine, one hund- , red thousand are Christians, some [ of them descendents of the Apost- . olie Church. They have made common cause with their Moslem . neighbors in seeking to preserve . their ancient homeland for themI selves aud their children. Today I they live in an atmosphere of fear , and prevalent distrust Violence , appears on every hand. There Is , not a town or village without its ( mourners. We should all be pray- . ing that Justice aud peace and good will may return to the Land made sacred by Jesus and His dis- ( clples. Including that great recon- . I Bar. Paul of Tarsus, the man . .neutered by the Master. SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS A good example ia the beat aer- , mon. -Did Proverb.

A hot dirti (one of those meal-in-a-diah affair* doing triple duty aa meat, potatoes and serttable*), —a mold of salad on a frill of lettuce, and a rusk A cup of eoffee and a dessert complete* this eaey-to-serve lunch. New salad ideas and hot dish recipes are forever welcomed among these hwlessee. But a Bouquet of Salads for a plat! lunch is a complete innovation that departs entirely from the standard formula we have just been discussing. In this new style plate lunch you'll find an array of four or five crisp lettuce cups on each plate, each cup containing a different kind of salad. The whole array really gives you afi the rvquiremeaU for a balanced meal when a bread in some form is served with them. You see the plate really does look like a bouqum <if -I•Hair flower*. Cant you h»ar your guest* exclaim when you offer them taoae truly lovely and tempting-looking Bouquet of Salads plate* r Here ia the plan of arrangement for each platwc Bouquet of Salads Plate Ixinrhcon Arrange 4 or S small serving* of individual salad* • lettuce etrp* around each dinner-sited plate. Fill the center of the plate wtth sprig* of watercree* and ton with a fresh Hower.

In hot weather a touch of lam >n or lime sherbet t» vary pleasing with this array. Since the salads are cold.
