Sunday School Lesson
BY CHARLES G. 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

If the mien Whom Stephen \W-. ad-
dressing had been really worshippers
of God they would have turned to

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.

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. In
fact they have done in reality all Ilbo

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.

You can telt a good driver
by the mileage he gets from
his tires
SOME fellows are sure rough on tires ---slam on
the brake and slide a yard or two in stopping—
drop in the clutch and spin the rear wheels in
starting—speed round corners and skid.
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.

TO REDUCE REPAIR BILLS
Repairs should be made to a can'
at the first indication of trouble,• in-
stead of putting it off until tate mach-
ine is all run down or until it hes
reached a serious stage of collapse.
When such a procedure is followed
the total cost of repair bills is likely
to be reduced to a minimum.
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

leak due to ca:l ar., warping or va,vo
wear, then the valves will have to be
removed and _round in. After 1:11,1
