Conversion I i Lesson tor Msy 6, 1956 pONVERSION is a religious word, but it wasn't originally,| and isn’t exclusively so now. We have all heard es people converted to communism, or from it A young man drives a convertible,—that is, a car which can be changed from open to closed, or back again.

■ a ■

A business man converts a factory from war production to peace production. Conversion, in short, means change. But as Christians use the word, they do not mean just any kind of

change. Every Dr. Foreman Christian’s life, if it is a growing life, is a changing life. People who never become Christians stall may change their lives in vari- 1 ous ways. The specially Christian meaning of “conversion” refers to the basic change from being nonChristian, sub-Christian or unChristian to being a ChristianWm Ponl Praslhrl Probably the most famous cenversion in the history of Christianity was that of the man who later became the Apostle Paul He was called Saul at the time, while as for being an apostle, he was on the contrary something rather worse than a “had egg.” He was an apostle of hate, prosecuting and persecuting people for no other sin or crime than merely being Christians. His conversion was sudden, spectacular and dramatic in the extreme. It was so impressive that to this day there are some who think that if you are not converted In the way in which Paul was converted, you can hardly have been converted at i all. On the contrary, th* one God who works In Nature in so many varied ways, works in men in varied ways too. Just as there are no two people exactly alike, so it would be surprising if any two conversion-experiences were exactly alike. Paul was a special* case, and God dealt with him in special way. One might almost say God had to hit Saul cm the head and kndek him down, to bring him to W* senses* Thar* .wetAoPttFj, features of that conversion that seldom if ever occur in other cases. Fran ...15... : First and all-lnclusve, in the universal features of Saul’s conversion, is the fact that this experience meant a turning around. His life pointed in a different dil rectlon ever after. Conversion means turning, and turning means a new course, a new destination, a new road. He turned from a negative- to a positive life,—from being against, to being tor. His entire energy had been spent in hating Christ and Christians. Afterwards his entire energy was de--1 voted to the service of Christ and Christians. Before his conversion Saul was chiefly noted for his eagerness to tear down. Afterwards one of his favorite words, and favorite occupations, was “building up." He was turned from pride to humility, from trying to get what he wanted, to trying to do what Christ wanted. Before, he was a masterless man; afterwards, he himself often said of himself that he was ■ “slave” of Christ But it was precisely in being body-and-soul devoted to Christ for life, here and forever, teat he found tee freedom from evil in his own life for which, as a masterless man, he had sought in vain. In these and in other ways, the conversion of Saul was not peculiar. All true conversion is < turning, from a negative, empty, destructive and fruitless life, to tee “life to Christ,” a positive, loving, constructive, brotherly life with much fruit of service. The Thliif, Nd th* Word The word "conversion” occurs only once in tee whole Bible (King James translation)—Acts 15:3. All the words together, like “convert,” connected with this, make only fourteen out of tee thousands of words in the Bible. But tee thing is there, and that is the important point. One way of putting it is suggested by the story in Acts 9, which of course does not use tee word “conversion.” What happened there? Saul came into contact with Jesus; and instead of hating him any more, he worshipped him. He called him “Lord.” That’s conversion. But not all of it Paid in later years told this story twice (that we know of—there must have been other times): Acts 22 and 26. He said about ft: *1 was not disobedient to tee heavenly vision.” Conversion is response to the touch ot God. Conversion begins when ww first take erders from Him. PLEASANT MILLS Baptist Church Chas.

‘ The Need For Church Attendance Rev. J. R. Meadow* The need for church attendance! never wan greater than now. Your personal welfare and the Interests of the church require It. No organization can survive the persistent non-attendance of those who have pledged themselves to its support. It is not, therefore, a trifling matter to attend, but an important contribution to a great cause. You may also have learned by experience that it is easier to attend church regularly than only occasionally. (Regular atetndance is a pleasure. Occasional attendance is too often a task.
