"Saul Converted and Commissioned?
Acts 9:1-9; J.7-19; I Tim. 1:12-14
It has been said the two greatest
witnesses to the divine origin of the
Christian faith are the resurrection
oT Jesus Christ and the convertion of
St. Paul.
The greatest Christian: God has
chosen to give to the church in nine
teen hundred years is unquestion
ably the Apostle Paul. The doctrinal
foundations, the ethical heights, the
missionary passion, that have marked
the Christian church down trough the
ages, all spring from the Apostle
Paul. The greatest event in the life
of thi3 greatest of all Christians was
certainly his conversion. From the
worst persecutor to the strongest ex
ponent, is a change only God can
bring about, and is as great a miracle
as any that God has performed.
Saul of Tarsus, was by birth, train
ing, zeal and ambition to excel, the
very man, God could use; but he had
to be made over. All his powers, tal
ents, and what personal endowments
he possessed, had to be brought into
subjection to Christ's will; hence the
question: "Lord what wilt thou have
me do?" and he received the answer.
Now let us look at time and place
of the great change.
Stephen the first martyr is laid to
rest. Saul was well pleased, taking
some part in the execution, voting
for his death and taking care of the
clothes of the executioners (About
36 A. D.). Emboldened by his suc
cess Saul seeks other fields for hi3
exploits. Many Jews live in Damacus,
some 160 miles from Jerusalem, the
leaders of the synagog there would
gladly help. But he entered Damas
cus different from what he expected.
What about Damascus? It is the
oldest known city in the world.
Josephus says: It was founded by Uz,
son of Aram, grandson of Shem. First
mentioned by Abraham. (Gen. 14:
15); and Abraham's oldest steward
hailed from Damascus. (Gen. 15:3);
and that is the place where Paul be
gan his ministry.
Saul of Tarsus was a determined
character, to see a matter through;
when consecrated to furthering Chris
tianity, nothing could swerve him
from the path, he knew was right.
His miraculous conversion is graphi
cally pictured in the first part of our
lesson. There should not be too nifcch
time spent on details, by the teacher.
His ministery is of far greater im
portance. His beginning at Damascus
shows the genuineness of his conver
sion. Beginning" at Jerusalem was the
order for the apostles. This writer
began where lie was converted.

Lesson Study!
By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb.
His three years in Arabia were
very profitable to him. There he could
think through the whole plan of re
demption. Some scholars believe that
the reference by Paul (Gal. 4:24, 25)
to Sinai, would indicate that he so
journed in the Mount of God like
Moses and Elias, who received their
messages there; we also think with
them, that that is where, alone with
God, he became so fully identified
with Christ, that he could say: "For
me to live in Christ." (Phil. 1:21).
That made him invincible. "I can
do all things, through Christ who
strengthened me." (Phil. 4:13).
We notice in his early ministry he
would escape danger; (See Acts 9:
25); but later he would go to prison,
submit to be scourged, well, see the
catalog of his suffering (2 Cor. 11:
21-33). That is Paul the courageous.
The episode of Paul's going to Jeru
salem, his cold reception and the
warm friendship of a countryman,
Barnabas, is a refreshing story, and
could be studied with profit. (See
Acts 9:26-30). What a marvelous
way God had with this man. It took
extraordinary means to subdue that
rebellious nature, but God was equal
to it: "I will show him how great
things he must suffer for my name's
sake." (Acts 9:16).
Did God speak here in a beautiful
manner, in a spirit of revenge, for
all the evil done by Paul? No, "he
was sitting as a refiner and purifier
of silver." (Mai. 3:3), to bring out
the best that was in Paul.
That is God's way with hi3 chil
dren today. It is not pleasant nor
easy to endure affliction; but James
1:2 would have us "count it all joy,
when wo fall into dlver3 temptations
in order to be perfect and entire,
wanting nothing." So God gets his
children ready, for the greater Joy,
that awaits those that are found
faithful (See Matt. 25:21).
Twenty years later Paul recounts
his great experience in Jerusalem,
with almost disastrous result, but it
paved the way to Rome. In his letter
to the Galatians he recounts that
marvelous change in his life; against
the Judlazers; who would confuse be
lievers. He defends his apostleship,
having received his commission di
rect from Christ (Read and study
Gal. 1:11-24). Finally we hear Paul
speak to his son, Timothy: That he
was put into the ministry by the Lord
Jesus Christ. What business has any
man in the ministry who cannot say
with Paul: "Jesus Christ counted me
faithful, putting me Into the min
istry." (Gal. 1:12). How dare any
one assume that holy office wjithout
the divine call and the endowment
of power?
CARS HAVE SMASHUP
Late Tuesday evening a car driven
by P. E. Garrison, Louisville, crashed
Into the rear of the car of N. T. Pol
lard on Chicago avenue near the in
tersection of Tenth street. The left
rear part of the car of Mr. Pollard
was damaged more or less and the
left front of the Louisville car, own
ed by Garrison, was also more or less
damaged in the impact.
Sheriff Homer Sylvester and Offi
cer Roy Stewart were called to the
scene, arrested D. B. Forbes and Gar
rison on a charge of intoxication and
reckless driving and they were
brought on back to the rity.
None of the parties was injured
beyond a shaking up and later J. B.
Worthmann and Mary Meir, the other
occupants of the Louisville car, were
taken on to their home. The parties
claimed to be from Kansas, but have
been making their home at Louisville
for some time.
This morning in the county court
before Judge A. H. Duxbury, a com
plaint was filed by County Attorney
W. G. Kieck against Garrison,
charging him with driving a car
while intoxicated and to which he en
tered a plea of not guilty. The case
was set for hearing this afternoon.
Forbes wa3 charged with intoxi
cation in a complaint filed by City At
torney J. H. Davis, to which he made
a guilty plea, he having been out on
a back seat of the car when the ac
cident occurred. He was held pend
ing the arrival of friends to secure
his release.
HOLD FAMILY PARTY

Rainfall Brings
Relief from the
Long Drouth
From "Vvednesaavs uaur
First Real Rainfall Since June Show
ers in This City Fall Shows
.56 of an Inch.
A refreshing rain that registered
.56 of an inch fell in this city last
evening and continued in showers
throughout the greater part of the
night. While the rain was not as
heavy as had been hoped for, it did a
wonderful good in the freshening up
of vegetation long baked by the hot
and blistering sun.
The rain came as the result of a
day heavy' with clouds and which re
peatedly broke until late in the aft
ernoon when the first sprinkles of
the rain came to cheer the residents
of the community.
North of this city from the Platte
river to near Omaha the rain was
very heavy in the early evening and
the water was running over the pave
ment but this rain stopped at the
south near the Platte river bridge
and only the lighter showers were
found south of the river.
This is the first rainfall since July
19th when .14 of an inch was reg
istered and which was the first after
a few showers in June that made two
very dry mouths.
PIGEONS STOP CLOCK
The many pigeons that make their
dwelling place on the roof and tower
of the Cass county court house are
responsible for the frequent stoppage
of the clock, those who look after the
adjusting and repair of the clock
state.
The pigeons have had the habit of
roosting on the hands of the clock
and when several of these take the
notion of sunning or preening them
selves on the hands, the weight
causes the hand3 to stop and result
in the machinery of the clock re
fusing to function.
Another of the difficulties met in
the proper handling of the clock is
the custom of the pigeons getting in
through the wooded slats of the tower
and making their roosting place on
the machinery of the clock. As the
clock goes on its daily grind the
wings of a pigeon' are frequently
caught and the result is that the
clock is stopped. .
The only solution Appears to be a
general warfare on the pigeons if the
clock is to continue to be the guiding
sentinel of time for the residents in
the business section of the city.
