Here the eyes or tnis man who had so relentlessly persecuted the early church, even to the killing of its members and of those who had taken up the message of the Master and were carrying it to the world, that man might be saved, and- many were they who paid the penalty of their lives in their devotion to the call of the Master of all the uni verse was opened. Saul who had seen the extreme and brutal persecution practiced by the Jews, who had crucified the very Christ, and were endeavoring to ex tinguish the church, was convinced that the church established by Jesus Christ was right and that he with the others had erred. Saul knew how he himself had with a ruthless hand dpalt with those who in their hon- George Baden and daughter, Isabel esty of purpose had espoused the I Back in Jerusalem Just how he made the journey back to tire city where he had so realously ! persecuted the church which he now : loved and was .willing to give his ' t i . m 1 a very me ior. we go not Know, dui !after the lapse of some days, he was there and seeking out the early ichurch. desired to join himself with them, but the majority were afraid of him and did not believe that he was a true Christian, but thouzht it was a ruse that he night work against them. ' But Barnabas, who knew of the things that had transpired took Saul to the others of the church and told them how he had been converted on the way to Damascus, how he had been persecuted by the Jews there. and how he had escaped and returned to Jerusalem. ! When the church at Jerusalem be came convinced that Saul was indeed a Christian, they received him and he became one of them and preached in Jerusalem, where he had so bitterly in the years before persecuted the church and its members. He was so vehement in his work, that he gene rated the enmity of the Jews, who again sought to kill him, and it was with difficulty that the other mem-' bers were able to spirit him away and get him to Ceserea, and from there sent him back to his old home at, Tarsus, in Celicia. Saul Goes to Antioch Notwithstanding the fact that Saul ' had been through many narrow es capes for his life, and has gotten back to the town where he was born and spent his childhood, he felt that he had a mission and after a short time was desirious of working, and know ing that in the scattering of the fol lowers of Christ or Christians as they were called, when they were driven from Jerusalem, many had gone to every part of the world, including the city of Antioch, which had also been flooded with many.

Saul knew it meant the very taking of one's life in his hands to join with the new church, but in an effort to in a way do the right and in an effort to in a way mitigate the great wrongs which he had done, he was willing to brave the worst that might happen to him. and therefore as the Golden Text has said, "Straightway in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is" the Son of God." This cost Saul much, for the peo ple whom he went to ' work with in the effort to exterminate the Chris tians, became his violent enemies and sought to take his Tife. The Jews and all were greatly sur prised when Saul began to preach of Jesus, the Christ, and to tell of his mission to this world for the salva tion of mankind, and said, is not this he that in Jerusalem persecuted the church and had come here to do the sa e thing? Still Saul became the more enthusiastic and disputed with these who now opposed the church, and with the natural abilities which he possessed, the training that had been his during his early life, and blessed with his conversion to the cause of the Master, which weighed more than all the other things that he possessed, he was able to refute all the arguments which the opposi tion were able to bring forth. Saul in Seclusion For three years, Saul went into se clusion, where he meditated on the things which he had seen and heard, and like Moses was separated from the world, where he digested the things which he had experienced, and after he returned to Damascus, he continued to preach that Jesus was the very Christ and the Savior of mankind. This angered the Jews, and as the text says, "after many days" for he continued for a long time, they counselled as Saul had when he was in Jerusalem, how they might destroy this man who was so valliant an apostle of the Master. They dogged his steps, and he had to watch at every step, that they might not surprise him and take his life. As Damascus was a walled city it was naturally thought that no one could leave it. except passing thru the gates thereof. These gates were JOIN THE WOMAN'S CLUB From July 23rd to August 20th the Plattsrnouth Woman's club is putting on a membership drive.
