The conversion at Seul 1* admit
Mdly one of the outstanding eventi
to Bible history. Whan two brll
Uant English lawyer*. Lord LytUe
*■ tod Sir Gilbert West, set out U
Wsprove the truth of Christianity
they selected the resurrection of
Christ and the story of Paul’s cor.
version as the local points of thcii
proof. Working independently, the*
then came together to compare
notes and found that they had both
become Christians since they had
become convinced of the truth of
the Scriptures.
The two events may well stand
together as evidence for Christie a-
Ity, for only on the ground of regen-
eration can the change In Saul l<e
accounted for. and only on the s «-
prance that he met the risen Christ
on the Damascus Road can we a j-
count for his conversion. This is a
great lesson, let us make the veiv
most of It
I. A Bold Persecutor (vv. 1, 2).
As our lesson opens we find t it
brilliant and zealous young Je v,
Saul, "yet breathing o(it threate-v
lngs and slaughter against the d a-
jtiples of the Lord." The persecu
tlona In Jerusalem had practicu.ly
wiped out the church in that city
but had scattered the discipl-w
abroad, and thus the witness h ic
been spread. The death of the gul-
ly Stephen, to which Saul had giv»n
his approval, had only increased i Is
determination to destroy those w c
were "of the way " of Jesus Lot k
ing for new fields to conquer, i*
carries with him to Damascus I* t-
ters from the high priest at Jeru-
salem, giving him authority to im-
prison the followers of Christ. B at
on the way he meets Christ Hirv
self, and is stricken to the earth.
II. A Convicted Sinner (vv 3-t ».
•Stricken down by a brilliant her r
enly light, he finds himself talki a*
to the Lord Jesus. He hears franc
His holy lips the solemn indictmt i>
of those who persecute God s pi »
pie—"Why persecutes! thou me’"
He who lays unkind hands, or ota'r is
accusation upon God s chitdr-- in,at
oest neware, tor so closely is out
Lord identified with His people thaf
when they suffer, it Is He who bear*
the hurt
In a single sentence the Lord di»
poses of the persecuting zeal and
the sinful skepticism of this proud
young Pharisee, and Saul enters
into Damascus not as the haughty
persecutor, but as a man trembling
and astonished at his own sin. He
spends three days shut in with hi*
own soul and God, not seeing, nol
caring to eat, losing ail conscious-
aiess of earth, but entering into com.
munlon with God. By God’s grace
the old life is pulled up by the
roots as it is displaced by the new
life in Christ Jesus. ^
III. An Obedient Disciple (w 10-
12).
Ananias was the "I am here.
Lord" type of Christian to whom
the Lord can confidently commit
His important business. All wa
know of him la what is contained
in thl* chapter, but it 1* a very
beautiful and enviable record. God
is able to work directly on any hu-
man soul and accomplish His end
(as He did with Saul on the Damas-
cus Road), but His usual manner of
working is through faithful human
agencies. One wonders how much
would be accomplished for God if
every Christian were as willing and
ready as was Ananias to do the
Lord's bidding in seeking out and
helping a struggling soul. The
greatest of all Christian leaders, the
apostle Paul, was led out Into his
Ufh of loyalty and service to Christ
by a humble layman. Repeatedly

ple ■ tresses, the vital importance of
personal work on the part of lay-
man and women. The leaders of
