Creamed Comments On The Sunday School Lesson

Creamed comments on the Sunday School leuson, "Saul Becomes a New Man”—Acts 9:1-19 for Sim day. April 2 The next quarter's le.*»ona have to do with the life and woik of Patti The alm of these lesson* is : to learn the secret of Paul's great- | ness as a Christian and. from his I hfe and letters, to find inspiration.' and guidance for our Jives. v 1 "And Saul, yet breathing i out threatening!* and slaughter i against the disciples of the laird, i went unto the high priest." Pauli who had been precept nt the stou Ingot Stephen had been convicted of sin for two years; to diown out this conviction he became a leader In t'hriatian persecution* To such a one. there comes an experience of being miserably dissatisfied and in this experience i« found an uige to repentance of sin. v 2. "And deslied of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem " Christian persecutions' at Jerusalem spread the revival ’ fires Ma far as Damascus, ami with I authority Saul proceeded to put t them out. L" such a thing could be done. Saul could do it. Here, us i-leewhere for some time. Jesus' folowers were known as "those of this way vs. 3. I "And as he journeyed, he >ame uea. Damascus; and suddenly there shined around about him a light from heaven; and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice raying unto him. Saul. Saul, why ]M-i secutest thou me?" Here is a sufiernatui-al event; Saul a great slnnet had a great convention. The Lord speaks Just as clearly today tlrough Goda word to witch as will hear bis voice Note that all sin i is against God though matt thinks it is only related to man This ouffnv tri ’wing conviction. v. $ "And he said. Who art thou. Lord? And the Lord said. ‘I am Jesus whom thou persecuted; it Is hard for tliee to kick against the pricks.” No one can eujoy inner pea< e of mind and soul who will not acknowledge Christ as his personal Saviour. v •>. “And he trembling and astonished. call. land, what wilt thou have me to do? And the iatrd raid uuto him, Artst and go into the city, and it shall Im- told thee what thou must do. ' Saul had to learn that before doing, he needed the experience of being a converted child of God v. 8. "And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened. he raw no man; but they led him by the hand, and brought him to Damascus." Inward blindness was made impressive by such outer blindness that even when Saul opened his eyes, he could not tee. Sin blinds men's eyes which seem to be open. Saul,* three sight lews days were days of contrition. It takes serious thinking when taking the initial step into the C'hrUtlan life to produce wrong Christian characters. vs 13. 11. "Then answered Ananias. Lard. I have heard by man of this man how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem; and here he bath authority from ; the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.' Note that the laird in about to nse a humble layman. as the man to lead Saul to Christ; no oar ever did a nobler work than this obscure man No maiier how poorly one Is endowed, to be a faithful Christian he needs to be a v. IS. "But the Lord said unto him. Go thy way; for he la a chosen vessels unto me." It so often happens when one ia fearful to lead another Io the Lord, that it is done so easily for in some mysterious way tbe Lord helps in thia the mos’ imfHirtant Chiistiau work one can do v. 14 "For I will shew him bow great things be must suffer for my name's sake," Jesus first offers a crows and then the crown A good Christian is one who endures as a good soldier of Ch list. v. 17. “And Ananias went bis way. and entered into the bouse; and putting his mads ca lib said., Brother Saul, the Loro. --ven Jena, that appeared unto Use In tbe way as thou earnest, bath sent me. that thou utighlesl receive they sight. sad be fiUed with tbe Holy Gho-t "Those were sei ousc words of, power. Note that what made Saul, “a now croetero In Christ" was tbe buplME of th- Holy Ghost Thru (cdloweu tote public cos teas ion of water baptism and then the Mri-ngthuaiag prunw as be i-sr-tent us msa' for bi b<H> aud menus for hi* -owl Haul from now <m fed on tbe Bread of life so that

President Manuel Quezon of the Philippine Island referred to .MacArthur as a "Gods Book Mau." Explaining further, he said. "I mean that he reads God's Book every day I have been In his rooyi when we have read the Book together. He not only reads the Bible, but he learns from it what ito do In every-day life especially wlie-i things get Into what you Amirans call a 'light spot.' ” It is well known in army circles that young Douglas MacArthur 1 lead the Bible through six times ' before he graduated from West | Point Although regular se*rtons are being held this year in only eight states, bills on the racial and religious discrimination Issue already are attracting sufficient Interest in some of these states to loom as of [ great importance next year when the legislatures of som<- forty-six states convene. line reason for the Soviet's partial change of heart about religion inside its borders |« the simple tact that the attempt to stamp out religion proves! a failure.

News coming out of Sicily since I the Allied occupation of that Island indicates that all through the regime of Mussolini the am lent Waldettsian church of Italy and Sicily retained Its democratic and Protiwian* beliefs Os the eighty Waldetisian pastors. It is reported, only three were Fascists. Kight hundred years ago in southern Fran< e. a religious revival broke out, and some of the persecuted families fled to the Alps where this new church was born. o-_ — The Deep Significance of Lent To remember Christ well we must ke«-p in mind his purpose In coming into the world and the intense suffering not only ou the crows and the days preceding it but also during tbe forty days following bls baptism when iu tbe wilderness. All through the Gospels we find running oue predominate purpose of God. namely, the redemption of mankind. ThL purpose b saen in the announcement by the angels, j "For unto jrvu is born this day a Saviour"; aud in the statement by John the Baptist. "Behold the lamli of God which taketli away the sin of the world." Unless we enter into the thought of Christ's redemption of the work! and du something about it In ■•ading some soul to acknowledge him as Saviour or do somethin* in strengthening the lai th of a believe) we have failed to gel the real significance of Lent. —D.
