Oil Well Accident Started Post on H oy to Renown ds an Aviator

New York.—A man who “didn't give ft hang" about, anything but aviation and. another whose earliest life had t «-< n bent toward, ' hurting difficult courses, have flown Into world renown because of nr oil well accident. Wiley Post and Harold Hatty—bom <>n different sides of the world and to different modes of living—were friends mainly through the fact that both lived and suffered through the cause of aviation in the last few years. Wiley Post lost an eye in an'oil field nccident in Oklahoma. That gave him s nsatlon, and bis first airplane—the start of his flying career that brought this famous flight. Harold Gatty trained in the Austrnlhih n is y as a navigator, charted courses on the South seas ns a youth in his Irens, became interested in aviation and after one unsuccessful transoceanic attempt joined post In this aroundthe-world undertaking.

Tliis peculiar gun is none other than the blowgun, that primitive, nine toot, hollow, tube-like weapon through which the Cherokee Indians blow 18Inch arrows “feathered" with thistle down. Some of these quaint old weapons which are nine feet long and which have counterparts among the savdge tribes of Sotrth America and the Sou:h seas, still can be found Ln the poo-

Wiley wasn't much good on the farm. He disliked It. Hi: father often remarked that Wiley "Just didn’t give a hang." But that was in the days of the oil boom In Oklahoma.

A piece of metal stru k Wiley In the eye. He lost the sight of that member. The oil company gave compensation and With that Post bought a '"crate” and started barnstorming with Burrel Tibbs aad . ’A . _ For three years he was a “bamstornier" and bis adventures and • xes were many-rr-just as they were with otb»T barnsiormers of that .period. Including uuch famous flyers as Col. Charles A. Lindbergh. ~ Never has Post been hurt, although he has taken all sorts of chances. F C.

Workmen engaged in excavation work near Kings chapel dug into the hidden burial chamber which was found to hold several skeletons. A coffin plate discovered in the vault bore the inscription "Francis Gray. 1561.” The records of the historic chapel, dating back to 1749, contained no reference to. the tomb.

Improved Uniform International Way School ’ Lesson ’ <By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D.. Member of Faculty. Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) 08. 1931 Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for August 9 — SAUL CONVERTED AND COMMISSIONED LESSON TEXT—Acts 9:1-19; I Timothy 1:12-14. GOLDEN TEXT—Whereupon. O. king Agrippa. I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision. PRIMARY TOPIC—SauI Chosen to Be a Missionary. JUNIOR TOPIC—SauI Chosen a Missionary to the Genti’es. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —A Vision and a Response. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Saul’s Conversion and-Commission. « I. Saul’s Violent Hatred of the Lord’s Disciples (vv, 1,2). Saul knew full well that unless the movement set on foot by JesuS was stopped it would supersede Judaism. The noble display of faith by Stephen in sealing his testimony with his blood i did not soften Saul’s spirit, but rather intensified his hatred for the Lord and his disciples. It made him more determined than ever to stamp out the Nazarene heresy. The intensity of his < madness and the extent of its operations are best set forth in his own . words (Acts 22:4; 26:10-12 R. -V.). He obtained authority from the high , * priest to carry on this murderous : : wor - 11. Saul Kicking Against the Pricks (vv. 3-U). The figure here is that of the eastern ox driver f flowing the ox with a ■ sharp iron fixed to the end of a pole. The animal is prodded on with this ■ instrument and if refractory, it kicks against the sharp iron and injures ■ itself. This is a graphic picture of Saul as he was madly fighting against ■ Jesus. > . 1. A light from heaven (vv. 3. 4). ; The time had come for the Lord to . interfere. Saul was smitten with blindness and fell to the earth. . • 2. A voire from heaven (vv. 4,5). ‘ This was the Lord’s voice calling Saul by name and asking “Why persecutest thou me?" To this Saul replied, “Who art thou. Lord?" ..Then came the answer. “I ant Jesus whom thou persecutest,” as if to saj that persecution of the disciples is persecution of Jesu&_ Jesus is sc closely identified with believers, that he feels their sufferings and regards mistreatiuent of them as mistreatment of himself. 3. Saul’s inquiry (v. 6). “What . wilt thou have me to do?” The Lord told him to go into the city where information would be given him as to what he must do. 4. Sam entering Damascus (vv. 7-9). The proud persecutor went humbly into Damascus, led by his attendants. For the spa n e of three days he remained blind, and fasted. What l Went on in his soul in those days no mortal can know. Doubtless-in this time he got hold of the truths which he later proclaimed to the world, for his conversion was the basal fact of his theology. The day is coming when all men shall behold the dazzling glory of the Son. either in salvation or in condemnation (I’hiL 2:10, 11; Rev. 6:15-17). 111. Saul Ministered to by Ananias (vv. 10-19). 1. Ananias'vision (vv. 10-12). The Lord appeared to him and instructed him to go to Saul. He gave him the name of the streets and Saul’s host, and informed, him that Saul was now a praying man and that he had prepared Saul by a vision for the coming of Ananias. The Lord knows the name of ,h? street .nd the number of I the house ir which his chpsen live, i 2. Ananias’ fear and hesitancy (vv. I 13-16). He knew of Saul's ministry j and the authority by which he came. L The Lord encouraged, him to go, as- | suring him that Saul was no longer an i enemy but a chosen vessel to bear ■ his name before the Gentiles, kings, i and the children of Israel, and that the badge of his commission should be great suffering for Christ. I 3. Ananias’ obedience (v. 17), His fears being removed. Ananias went to the house where Saul was stopping, put his hand upon him and affectionately addressed him as brother. The hitherto savage persecutor is now a brother In Christ Ananias informed him that the Lord had sent him with a twofold mission: a. “That thou mightest receive thy sight." b. “Be tilled with the Holy Ghost." He received his sight forthwith. It is not said that he received the Holy Ghost then, but his life work proves : that he did. i 4. Saul baptized (vv. IS, 19). After Saul received his sight, Ananias baptized him. The Lord bestows the gift of the Spirit upon whomsoever he will, and may designate anyone, whether occupying an official position or not, to lay hands upon Individuals. IV. Paul Put Into the Ministry (I Tim. 1:12-14). . He was commissioned for his work among the Gentiles by Jesus Christ. He did not enter the Christian ministry. but was placed there by the sovereign act of <he Lord. He was transformed from a ulasphemer and a persecutor through the abundant grace of the Lord Jesus ChrisL and made the apostle to the Gentiles. A Thankful Heart Cultivate the thankful spirit! It will be to thee a perpetual feast There is, or ought to be, with us no such thing as small mercies; all are great .because the least are undeserved. Indeed. a really thankful heart will extract motive for gratitude from everything, making the most even of scanty blessings.—J. R- Mac Duff. Our Prayers for Others God loves, without doubt to hear us plead for our own wants; but when we plead for others there is In it an element of magnanimity and grace which God, it seams’ to me, must love and be more inclined to favor than petitions in our own behalf.—Henry Ward Beecher.
