HERALDWANTAND SALE ADS PAY The lives of great men ipspire us with an eagerness to make our own lives count for God and for country. Particularly is that true of the life of the apostle Paul, for he combined ■personal greatness with an .-absolute surrender -and. devotio,n to .Christ, which made his life doubly effective We recall, however, that this peer less leader for Christ was at first the bitter enemy of everything Christian and. we ask, ■ -What changed this man?" The answer is— the redeeming grace of God—but that is the story of our lesson. He became a changed man as he went— s I. .From Threatening to Trembling (vv. 1-7). . The enemies of God and of our Christ are often loudmouthed and terror-spreading individuals, who, for a time, strike fear into the hearts of men. ■Such was Saul of Tarsus,' and such are the antichristian lead­ ers of our day. They seem to be so powerful and able to sweep all before them. But wait! Luther said of God’s archenemy, “ One little word shall fell him ," and it is true. See what happened to Saul. Off on his jour­ neys of persecution and destruction, Gold and determined, he met Jesus m. the Damascus road, and the ‘ reat threatener is found to be ‘trembling and astonished” (v. 6). The Lord is still on His throne, and one day every mouth shall be stopped (Rom. '3:19), and all His enemies shall tremble before Him. Would that they would do it while th^re is time to repent. II. From Ferst cuting to Praying (w . 2; 8, 9; see also v.' 11). ' . Paul utterly devoted to the root­ ing out of this hated, sect of Chris- ' tians was. pn his way with letters authorizing their imprisonment. It was all very official, zealous and marvelous in men’s sight, until lie met Jesus, and it all blew away. , Ananias; 'that faithful, layman .(m ay his tribe increase!), was called of God to go and speak to'the stricken. Saul. When he feared, to go, God encouraged him (v. 15}, for the powerful persecutor had nft|v be­ come a periitent pray-er (v. 11). That’swha t a face to face meeting with Jesus did for. PauL—yes, and will do for any man or woman. III. From Scoffing -to Suffering (vv. 1, 13rl6). Saul doubtless gloried in the breathing out of threatenings and slaughter of which we read in verse 1. He was riding high in the seat of authority and of official approval. It was satisfying to his fleshly pride to make known his dreadful purposes of destruction and imprisonment for these helpless Christians. Did we say helpless? Oh, no, they, had on their side all the power of the EternalOne. He who touches the people o f God touches the Lord1- Himself. Paul thought he was fight­ ing a little sect of Christians, but found that he was fighting the Lord Himself (v. 5). But now that he had met Jesus and was ready to turn in devotion to His saefed ‘cause, he was to learn what it meant to suffer. Let us note well that suffering for the,sake of one’s faith may be entirely within the will of'.G odryes, and for His glory. IV. From Spiritual Death to Spir­ itual Life (vv. 17-19). ,Men have tried to explain the ex­ perience of conversion on the ground of psychology, as a cataclysmic change in the life of an individual who has. gone through some great sorrow or trial, but it Simply will not go down. There is in real con­ version a regeneration which means a completely changed life. Saul did have a sudden and mov­ ing experience on the Damascus road, but it Was not just because of a blinding light and a mighty voice. It was a light “ from heaven" (v, 4), and the voice of the Lord. Saul was “ filled with the Holy Ghost," and received his sight. He was ready now to be used of the Lord as the greatest missionary evangelist and theologian that the world has ever known. This change was one which reached down into his inmost* being and transformed his beliefs, The Jesus he had hated, now became his ail consuming passion and love. He no longer looked to his works to save him, for how he knew the per­ sonal Saviour, •What’ happened within showed it* self in his attitude toward those without, : It always does. He now came to love the very people he had hated and persecuted, and turned every bit of his strength and ability into the task of working with them in the spreading of the gospel throughout the world. , Men and women—yes, boys ahd girls—today need this same change from death to life. Too long have we been trying to polish up the ex­ terior of lives Unchanged within NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT Estate of Catherine G, Masters, De­ ceased. , Notice is hereby given that Kather­ ine W, Masters has been duly ap­ pointed as Administratrix of the es­ tate of Catherine G.

Th is was made evident by the .bill intro­ ducedJastweek by Chairman,Dough- ton, Dem., N.

The national debt right now is dose to the ,190 bil­ lion mark. .At the present rate o f public spending, it will reach and cross the 250 bilbo,n line before July.1st, 1945. Another indication.as to what the future tax burden will be comes from the recent announcement o f the Secretary of the Treasury that the Fifth war ldan'drive, which is sched­ uled fo r sometime in May or June, will call for tl.e purchase of at least 16 billion dollars worth of (bonds by the American people; every dollar'of which, ■together - with the interest thereon, must, of course, be repaid from tax collections later on. / • / B A B Y CH ICK S Wyandotts, Rhode Island Reds, White Rocks, Leghorns, Barred Rocks.- .AH blood test­ ed chicks.
