Many 'Sauls' to Be Won Today, Powell Declares Conversion of St. Paul Is Testimony to Its Possibility, He Says. BY THE REV. E. AINGER POWELL Rector, Christ Church. Careful readers of the book of Acts will immediately be struck by the apparently contradictory accounts of the conversion of Saul of Tarsus. In the ninth chapter we are told that “the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no man. while in the 22nd chapter Paul himself says. “And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid: but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me." Defenders of the utterly discredited doctrine of verbal inspiration face a serious problem in attempting to reconcile such statements and. after all, the important fact connected with Saul’s conversion is not the experience of his followers; what happened to them does not matter particularly; what happened to him matters tremendously. Saul left Jerusalem with hatred in his heart and a firm resolve to increase, if possible, his persecution of the followers of “the way.” He entered Damascus a penitent—he left it an Apostle and evangelist. Surely such an astounding change can not be adequately explained Jay the notion of instantaneous conversion. And if the miracle of the moment will not explain it, still less does the theory that Saul was the victim of a sunstroke or an epileptic seizure. The latter suggestion is a typical example of the length to which some critics will go in their attempt to cast doubt upon the essential credibility of Holy Scripture. In not a few instances the credulity of the skeptic is comparable only to that of the extreme fundamentalist. Conversion Was Climax Without doing violence to the truth it may be said that Saul's conversion may be credited to causes existent long before the “miracle cf the Damascus road.” That event, reasonably interpreted, was but the climax resulting from Saul’s experience as an enemy of Christianity. From what we know of Paul as a man of sound judgment and superior intelligence we are bound to believe that he was strongly influenced by the lives and deaths of his Christian victims. He has seen Stephen and many others die with words of forgiveness on their lips and love for all mankind, not even excepting their murderers, in their hearts. As someone has said, “the light had been dawning though he had refused to look; the voice had been speaking, though he had declined to listen.” Much is lost and nothing gained by the assumption that Saul’s conversion resulted from an instantaneous, miraculously induced, change in his character. The conversions of a moment are, as a rule, of little more than momentary value. Results Were Important So we must believe that what happened outside the gates of Damascus was the climax of an orderly process. The important thing about the conversion of St. Paul was the change which it wrought in his life, the results which followed it; not the details attendant upon It. That day was epochal in the history of the Christian Church. The lesson it has to teach us is the fact that the greatest sermons are not preached from pulpits but through the lives and examples of such men as St. Stephen, who was, as we may well believe, a powerful factor in Saul’s conversion. There are many modern “Saul” to be won to the service of the Master, many strong men of great ability in other fields of endeavor who are capable of rendering as great a service to the Church as they have hitherto rendered to the world. The Conversion of St. Paul is historical testimony to the possibility of their conversion.
