WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON A Study in Conversion: How Saul Became Paul

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for May 17: The Conversion of Saul.—Acts 9-1-12, 17-18. By Win. E. Gilroy, D. D. (Editor of The Congregationalist) eBRE is one of the greatest stories in all history. Probably next to the birih jil our Lord no event has been so significant, or so important in Its historic effect as the conversion, of Paul the Apostle. We call this event the “conversion”; in reality it was the enlightening. In a sense Paul did not change. He had always, as he tells us himself, been a man of good conscience, earnestly striving tg> live up to the light that he had. Hut his very earnestness and Intensity were driving him in the wrong direction. It’s. hard to stop a man like that. But Paul was arrested In hjb course. He saw the error of his way, and he turned Into the right path. It Is not always easy- to see the error of one’s , way. One’s faults, sins and shortcomings are often more easily perceptible! and are more readily acknowledged. But bigotry and prejudices, or some higher sense of loyalty, seem bind men to certain ideas or to a certain course of action. A man will confess wrong himself, while he will defend his group, his church and his party. Saul, to give him his pre-Christian name, was a good man pursuing a wrong course. He had to make a clean break with his environment. He had the wrong outlook, the wrong set of principles and funda mental ideas. He was hidebound against new ideas. He resented change and progress. He was furious that any old and treasured thing should be apparently set r.t naught. He did not see that truth is ever becoming expressed in new forms. So he was a persecutor. His bigotries and prejudices made him a potential murder—for he had guarded the garments of those who stoned Stephen—despite his effort to be conscientious. Needed New Light What Saul needed was new light—and he got It. “There shined round about horn a light from heaven.” Afterwards he himself told King Agrlppa of his own part In his conversion. "Whereupon, O King Agrlppa,” he said, "I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision.” Paul would not sin against light. V hen Paul saw the light he understood the greatness of love. Life and truth became comparatively’ simple. He had been concerned about dogmas and Institutions and ritualisms. He had been a defender of the faith. But pow he found that

the greatest thing of all was love. He said afterwards. "Now abldeth faith, hope, love, these three, but the greatest of these Is love." That Is about the hardest thing In the world for people to see. Quite unmindful of the example of Paul professing Christians continue for the most part to put their theological notions above the oblige: ions of love. We need not look toward the persecutions of the pant for the evidence of that. We see these evidences all too widely In American life today. Men of different religions and denominations assume toward one another attitudes of suspicion and distrust. In some Instances there Is bitter antipathy and a hostility that breeds Injustice. This could not be If to be a Christian meant to pass through Paul’s experience of discovering that love is greater than faith, and that unorthodoxy in relation to the redemptive love of God Is far more important than unorthodoxy In relation to the dogmas or practices of some historic church. Paul came to say. “After the way that they call heresy so worship I the God of my’ fathers." There may be love and truth In seeming unorthodoxy’. but there can be neither love nor truth where Christian pro-

session Is confused with a censorious, distrustful, persecuting spirit and prentice. A Lemon for All Let each man bring this lesson home to his own heart and life. If he is like Paul In honesty and earnestness, Is he like Paul In finding the meaning of love? Does his outlook need changing? Is he on the wrong track? The thing of first and greatest Importance Is to be loving—to be dominated by the spirit of Christ. Zeal and energy may’ do harm unles they are guided by love. If we are going In the wrong direction the first thing is to get going In the right direction. This Is conversion. A great many people need to experience It who have never thought of themselveo as vile sinners, and whose neighbors have never thought of them In that way. But the man who has been along the wrong way, however conscientiously he may have been mistaken, when he had found the true way of love and light, understands hw far he has been from God and from his fellowmen, and he learns to think of himself as Paul, the proud Phartoee. learned to think of himself. as "the chief of sinners.”

learn sometime, and the sooner the better for our own happiness, to think from the standpoint of a good God, and a God like man.” “That Is, we must come to think of man, the representative of God, as possessing a nature and qualities that are consistent with the nature of God. Is there anything illogical In asserting that a good God must make a godo man, and not an evil one? “Every thought of unselfishness, mercy, kindness, justice, helps to unite the one who thus thinks with the source of such thoughts, that Is, God. We use God’s love as we use the lovt-thoughts and the understanding with which He provides us.” graiiTbriefs due soon State Securities Commission Hopm to Reach Early Decision.
