TRUMBULL I(Editor of Tho Sunday School Times) SAUL AND STEPHEN Sunday, July S ---Acts i:54 to 8:n; 22::3, 4, 19, 20; 20:4, 5, 9-11; Gal- atians 1: 13, 14. Golden Text: Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. (Rev. 2:10.) We saw last week that Paul heel brains, culture, patriotism and piety. Before his conversion his piety was of a dead and intellectual character; or his head, no'c his heart. Head re- ligion can make a man exceedingly cruel, and this is what we find Saul was. Stephen was one of the first seven deacons in the church of Christ, when there was chosen "seven men of hon- est report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom," set apart to the business of distributing the charity of the Church to the poor. The modern church does not always semi to think it important to have its "trustees," or the Wien who have special charge of the finances, property and tem- poral affairs of 'the church, chosen as conspicuous for their deeply spiritual life. But the early church was careful to have it so, "and Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people" (Acts 5:5). Evidently he was a great soul winner, and people were being won to Christ, The Jews decided it must stop. Stephen's formal trial before the Council or Sanhedrin followed. He was questioned, and in re:tponse he made one of the most remarkable ad- dresses in the entire Bible (Acts 'N. He outlined the history of Israel from Abraham to David and Solomon show ing God's marvellous grace end won der.' -working power in behalf o2 His people, and Israel's eant:mi' l and incorrigible rejection of God and Itis prophr;ts, If the mien Whom Stephen \W-. ad- dressing had been really worshippers of God they would have turned to t for r - Him with a cr • � t mer` y and for- - :•iveness, and would have been ready to learn of Jesus their Messiah. But they had already rejected Chris . and thereby had rejected God; so they could not 'tolerate the truth, hut ,turned with murderous hatred a- gainst Stephen as "they gnashed on him with their teeth." One of the great visions of Deity recorded in the Scriptures was 'then granted to Stephen. ' heaven was opened to him; he "saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the righe hand of God," and he told the San- hedrin what he saw, and Whom. It was enough—it was 'coo much. Lynch law followed in the name of the Mosaic Law, and the" blasphem- er" was stoned to death. As he cruel rocks crashed into his body and brain he was in prayer, calling upon God and saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit"; and a moment later, as he kneeled down, there was heard in a loud voice his prayer like unto 'chat of his Lord on the cross: "Lord, ]ay not this sin to their charge." With these words "he fell asleep." The sort of love described in I. Cor- inthians 13 was still living in the heart of this man as he diet]. A young man named Saul, a strict; Pharisee, was in 'the group of mur- derous Jews, "consenting unto his death," and Saul "kept the raiment of them that slew him." Evidently he had some official responsibility for the execution; he doubtless sew Stephen's "face as it had been 'the face of an angel," saw hint looking up into heaven and seeing his Lora, heard his prayer of faith as he•ad- dressed Jesus as Lord, and heard his intercessory prayer of forgiveness behalf of his executioners. Did that end Saul's persecution of the Christ. gla*t�hlewv'c?{1t•ti4: s s�siisl3wrW,..^.nYsitn,� „,......e, 6 se. e.e sxad a mu3F t �urs 7S7cnS$`. r ,0,,w+reu:rrasm "' :.;, :r trip exam •seer•,.•.,e.--..,s¢^._u:,L;:3� ozr..a a,n+nm� ex+ww� I -IE tire that gives the most mileage has extra miles 13aili-In at the factory.

A general election is expected in the fall. fans? It did not. Immediately after Stephen's burial Saul "made havo.: of she church, entering Into every house, and, hailing men and women, committed them to prison." Other passages in this week's lesson select- ions give in Saul's own words the re- cord of his indefatigable energy in stamping out, as he hoped he wa., doing, this new sect called "The Way." He says: "And I persecuted this way unto -the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women." He did not stop at Jerusa- lem and Judea, but he took official letters to the Jews as far away to the northeast as Lhnra;a, to hound out the Christians there and bring them bound to Jerusalem to he pun- ished. In every synagogue of Jews where he found Christians he im- prisoned and heat them. Was Paul struggling against a guilty conscience, in all this? Far from ic. The intermediate and sen- ior topic for this lesson is phrased, "Is Conscience a Safe Guide?" Mang people seem to think it is. But con- science may be a very unsafe guide; it certainly was in Saul's case. He says: "I verily 'thought with myself that I ought to do many things con_ 'crary to the name of Jesus of Naz- areth." When Christians were on trial he says he cast his vote that they should be put to death. By tortures he "compelled them to blaspheme." IIs even says: "And being exceed- ingly marl against them, I persecut- ed them even unto strange cities." He was a consuming fire in the midst of the Church of God, "and wasted it." We think eo much of the Apostle Paul. and his later life shines out so gloriously, that we forget the murderous and uncontrolled fury of the man Saul. Probably there have been few characters in human history so bitter, vengeful and devastating as he—that is, in the name of God and God's religion. And, let us rememeber, this wan all done with a good conscience, Con- science is not a safe arbiter of right and wrong. It is not a safe guide. Conscience does not tell us what is right and what is wrong; rather, it is en inner urge or voice telling us to do what we think is wrong. But if we. think the wrong i, right, the: conscience may drive es in a wrong direction as it slid San). And there the lesson leave:; ns this week. Anda long trail of bloodshed, the church being persecuted end wasted, Saul says that in doing all this "1 , . . -profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more ex- ceedingly zealous of the traditions oe my fathers." If ever Saul was to be reached, stopped, •saved, God would have to intervene; and God diel. Nest week's lesson tolls us the amaz- ing and true story. • A LITTLE CANADIAN ISLAND, 9 Far away and so small that many of the map producers have left it MI their publications, is Green Island. On this Canadian island there is a lighthouse. It has been portrayed as the most northerly of the Dominion's Pacific Ocean marine sentinels. The lighthouse is kept by John Morass, his wife and daughter. Green Island is ono of the Orient steampship route by which vessels to and from China and Japan make their way to and from Prince Rupert. Several islands guard Port Simpson, n , an„ one of them is Green Island. Here the Moran family live the whole year round and claim a state of happiness which might web be envied by less fortunate people who live in crowded towns, The Morons have raised a herd of goats, bred countless rabbits, keep poultry, grove vegetables on its limited space.

No trouble to chow goods. J. R. W E DT Jeweler Wroxeter wonders attributed eo tete heroes and heroines of fiction of the Robinson Crusoe type. Twelve years ago Mr. Moran, who formerly worked in London, Eng., read an advertisement calling for a ]ighthousekeeper,- Ho applied for and obtained the position, and in the summer of 1916 landed on Green Island with his wife and two child- ren. Above the high -'tide stark on the rock is not more than an acre of re- gular plateau. Here through. the ages of time since first a vast up- heaval sent the rock upward a little earth has formed—ground rock, rotted wood 'thrown up by winter's storm, the dropping of millions and millions of gulls, richest of all for- mations, and the decayed stalks of grass and weeds, the seeds of these wind-blown to this lonely spot. So these modern adventurers made e garden, and successfully grow pots - toes and the usual line of produce common to northern regions.. Soon after their landing they sent for some Belgian hares, They start- ed with a pair of these, and by im- porting occasionally new males they had in ,two years so many rabbits that the pens they had built would not 'house them, so they turned them loose on the land. Despite the great toll that the wet and fros'c of winter takes, the island today is still overrun with the an- imals. The 'Monne, as addition to the nee tura] verdue, planted oats and tim- othy, and now a little herd of half e dozen goats find pasture, For 'the hens they have to import some food. Here again nature has been kind. One and of the, island i, a shell beech, whore the :,arta mat- erial that sells for two shillings a bag in the city, and is most necessary for hens, is found. The Morans have also availed them selves of a novel egg supply. The is- land is the resting place of hundreds of seagulls. The seagull is a peculiar bird. It lays three eggs before it be- gins its setting. Not unless it has three. eggs intho nest it will not set. The Morans mark a certain number bf nests. The clay the third egg is laid it is removed. The gull retwfn- ing gazes astonished at the nest. In imagination we can hear the bird saying to itself, "Now! I was sure I had three eggs laid." But the gull lays another egg. What with their goats, their rab- bits, their hens, and the gulls' eggs, the lightkeeper's r r Tamil are fairly Y well supplied with food. Hundreds of wild decks can be shot near, and deer run on the ad- joining islands in winter. ® - Believed to have been ,hidden by a miner wile died without telling nay one of his discovery, a ricin vein of lead oras been found at the Jug I:-iole lead mine at Matlock, ',England.

It may save a few minutes running time—it may even look a little "showy” to the man on the side- walk—but the real driver knows that it means miles off the running life of the tires. Good tires will give unbelievable miles of service if you treat them right. Drive sanely. Come in and let us put the gauge on the valves once a week—under inflation means certain trouble. Let us examine the casings regularly for embedded flints and nails. This service will save dollars on your year's car expense. -. lie T E. O.

TO PROTECT CAR FROM THIEVES Because thousands of cars are stolen yearly, it is a wise motorist who uses a little precaution for the prevention of the loss of his car. The following are a few useful hints to protect it from auto thieves: - Never park in alleys. Mee' leave keee in car. Alwaye lock car before leaving, pression on each individual cylinder. Some pistons will go over cemapres- ,ion much easier than others, and this means that somewhere there is a leak in this cylinder. A leak appear:, far oftener ha the valves than any • place else. It is barely possible that one of the valves is riding or held slightly open by one of the pusim'ods, due to improper adjustment, or the Valve may be coated with carbon or so warped it titles not a a proj'onle. If the trouble is caused by too long a pushrod this carr be taken cease of with out regrinding; but If there is a leak due to ca:l ar., warping or va,vo wear, then the valves will have to be removed and _round in.
