|creamed|n| I CommentsUM on s.B.;.ara| | Lesson (Syia Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson. Ananias. Decipie at Damascus, Acts 9:10-20, for Sunday, August 29. Ananias, another obscure man. trusted by God a* one worthy to be a soul winner, was directed to make contact with the convicted sinner. Saul, who was on his way to Da tnascUM to kill Christians such as Ananias. V. 10. "And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. and to him said the Ixird In a vision. Ananias And he said, Behold I am here.” Christ spoke to Ananias by name Our religion is a personal matter. God deals with us as individuals Here is a man not IMipular with men but in favor with God because he was a trustworthy child of God eager to serve V II "And the Lord said to him. Arise and go into the street which is called Straight and enquire in the house of Judas, for one called Saul of Tarsus; (or behold he prayelh.” The (a<t that Saul was praying | showed he was being convicted ofj sin and needed some one to guide him It was needful that Saul should, cooperate with God and sincerely! seek the truth and sincerely submit to God's will concerning him. And this he did V. 12. "And hath seen In a vision a man named Ananias coming and nutting his hands on him. that lie might receive his sight." Here are two visions which shows bow God works when men pray. From a praying man there ascends spiritual rays of the soul which are turned down to needy souls standing in the need of prayer; this makes a triangle within which is Gcal's vision. I V. 13. "Then Ananias answered. | Lord. I have heard liy many of this | man. how tnui h evil he hath done to thy saints in Jerusalem." This h arch persecutor was naturally wide-i ly knowu lynung Christians and hisj deeds were a common subject of conversation among them. Evil deeds are not easily forgotten. V. 14. "And here be bath authority from the chief priests to bind ■II that call on thy name." Saul's program was no child's play. Some-' Oup Preachy Work for work's sake which Is its own reward. Were it not so intended our meals would lie already j <(Miked: our rivers, spanned with! bridges without study: we then could understand the most abstruse' of sciences. Brains exercised with! problems become strong, and sill our work returns to us in a lietter mind Character is produced by effort. the (test within, the very Inner life, must lie expressed in deeds or it will die look Review Splrif-Filled. The Ufa of James B Chapman, gives an account of the .leverend James Chapman from lioyhood dais to the end of his life. The I>ook la valuable for the neouiit* of his struggling experiences with a determination to lire on the Highest moral and religious level.

thing la seriously wrong when lift is threatened, and something needi to be done about It. The phrase "that call on his name" gives the secret of self-defense. The power of prayer lieyong human calculation. It is the way to world peace V. 15 "But the 1-ord said untc him. 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." There was no place for argument; It was ac tlon that was needed. This was God's opportunity in turning a per secutor into a prosecutor of his will. ’ second to none since Christ was on t earth; He was to be God's ambassador to both Jews and Gentiles not | stopping short of kings. V. 16. "For I will show hint how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake." God showed Paul i both by revelations in advance , I Acts 10:231. and through the experiences that actually came to him. A partial list of his suffering is given in 2 Cor. 11: 23-28. If we will reign with him we must learn to suffer with him. V. 17. "And Ananias went his way. and entered into the house; and putting bis hands on him. said. Brother Saul, the Ixtrd. even Jesus that appeared unto thee In tbe way as thou earnest, hath sent men. that tbou mightest receive thy sight and be filled with the Holy Ghost.” Something happened in Ananias as he walked in his way to tbe persecutor that meant Christian fellowbrother. The proof that God was ship, for he addressed Saul as speaking through this stranger was in the miracle that he received not only his sight but also, the Holy Ghost. V .18. "And immediately there fell from bis eyes as it had been scales, and he received sight forthwith, and arose and was baptized ” So thorough was Saul's conversion that he was a fit candidate (or the I kingdom of God at once, in recog- | nition of which he was baptized. Vs 19. 20. “And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with i the disciples which were at Damascus. And straightway be preached Christ in the synagogue that He is the Son of God.

After four weeks of failure by , the Constitutional Convention to i write one word of a constitution ' for tbe United States. Benjamin | Franklin addressed George Washington as follows: ”1 have lived. I air, a long time, and tbe longer I I live, the more convincing proofs il see of this truth, that God govlerns in the affairs of men. And I i also believe Hl* concurring aid. I we shall succeed in this political building no better than the build ere of Babel; we shall be divid ' ed by little partial, local inter ests. our projects will be confounded and mankind may hereafter. from by human wisdom, and leave It to chance, war. and conquests: 1 therefore beg to move, that henceforth prayers, implori Ing th* assistance of heaven and I its blessings on our deliberation, be held in this assembly every morning.” From that moment they liegan to make progress and produced the constitution, whiefh Gladstone said was "the most re- 1 markable work known to me In modern times to have been produced by tbe human intellect, at a single stroke.” Prayer turned the tide then, and It will turn the tide now In tbe United Nations.
