TRUMBULL (Editor of Tho Sunday School Tinos) THE CONVERSION OF SAUL for thee to kick against the pricks." Saul, the zealous Pharisee, insistent Sunday, July 15—Acts 9:1-19; 22 on the law of Moses as the law of 6-16; I. Corinthians 15:8. God, had been persistently resisting God. And it was hard for a strict Golden Text Jewish religionist to do this, the Lord This is a faithful saying and reminded him. He had been fight - worthy of all acceptation, that Christ ing against his own profession, as Jesus came into the world to save every Jew who rejects Christ today sinners (I. Tim. 1:15). is doing. It is to be noted that Saul, the proud Pharisee, did not argue with his new Lord. Nor did he contradict, Nor did he defend himself. Tremb- ling and astonished," he said, "Lord. what wilt Thou have me to do?" Saul's heart and life were gone out of him. It is a good condition for a man to be in who has been fighting God. There came a brief "sealed order," telling him to go into the city and he should be told what le do. Saul's human sight was gone now. When he arose from the earth to which he had fallen in helpfessness, and opening his eyes, he could see nothing. The proud persecutor was led by the hand and brought into Damascus. What a contrast from the way he had expected to enter that city! A helpless blind man, at the mercy of others, instead of a power- ful leader, threatening and taking lives. For three days he saw nothing, ate nothing, drank nothing. It was a period of darkness indeed, perhaps typifying the three days in which Christ Himself lay dead. For the I old Saul had died, and a new man God supernaturally intervenes in the life of an individual when it is His sovereign will to do so. We need not ask why; we are to accept it as e fact when God's Word declares it. His intervention in the life of the murderous persecutor Saul is one of the great and significant miracles of history. It is more than history; it is also prophecy. It is a stupendous expression of the grace of God. Saul, the self-righteous Pharisee, was hunting down Christians to their death. "Yet breaching out threaten- ings and slaughter against the dis- ciples of the Lord," he went on his way, and far out of his way, to ac- complish his purpose. His threats were not empty; he was a man of deeds as well as words; and his deeds were deadly. With official letters the was on a journey of more than two hundred miles north from Jerusalem (by the roundabout roads he would shave to take) to find and seize his victims in Damascus. Saul's attitude at that time was the attitude of the Jewish nation to- ward Christ at His crucifixion, and the tttitude mairftained by the Jew- ish nation to this day, when they eried out against Christ: "Les Him was coming out of the place of death, be crucified , . . His blood be on i The lesson goes on to tell how a us, and on our children" (Matt. 27: Christian in Damascus was commis - 22, 25.) stoned to minister to Saul, putting But as Saul neared his goal about his hand on him that he might receive noon one day (and the noonday sun his sight, and bringing him good news near Damascus, as the writer has seen it, is of dazzling brilliancy), a light from Heaven suddenly struck [rim to the earth—a light that made the sunshine seem like twilight. Ten came a voice: "Saul, , Soul, why persecutest, thou Me?" But Saul had been persecuting Christians, not some one in Heaven—so he thought. Yet he had been persecuting One in Heaven, for, as has been pointed out, that challenging question to Saul, the Lord identified Himself with His people, Every Christian is a mem- fChrist(I C la: from the Lord Jesus Christ. This man, Ananias told Saul how to be saved by calling on the name of the Lord, and gave him a great commis- sion from the God of their fathers to be His witness unto all men, When Saul, his name changed to Paul, writes of Dile in his great re- surrection chapter to the Corinthians (I.

Practically all go free to farmers and an average of a ear a day is shipped. The work was started in 1901. The Alpine Club of Canada will hold its 23rd annual camp July 17- 31 at the Lake of the Hanging Gla- ciers in the Purcell Range of the Rockies. Banff will be the rail- head for the camp which is five hours motor jr-e'irney farther on. Eleven peaks all above ten, and some exceeding eleven thousand feet in height, will be at the climb- ing disposal of the campers. There are also many others between nine and ten thousand feet high. East makes its annual bow to West with the Unlversity.of Mont- real trip across Canada to the Paci- fic and back, starting from Montreal July 7. Many prominent French- Canadians make this annual trip which is sponsored by the Univer- sity and run on Canadian Pacific trains, motor facilities and Great Lakes steam: -hips. All the major cities of the Fest and the beauty spots of the Rockies are covered in this popular tour.

Thread three-quarters of an inch of the end cif tine rod and screw a email nut all the way down on this elan, Thal place 21 piece or round fibre on this enol and screw another nut on the end of the rod to hold the fibre securely. The fibre should be of sufficient diameter to nord the -rod snugly in place. A fairly heavy brass spring should now be placed on the end of the rod and secureti with e nut. When .the fibre and spring have been fastened in place, insert them into the receiver in the position fon only held by the magnet. Cover with tape the hole at the other end of the receiver, where the rod passes through. Next replace the diaphram and ear -piece on the receiver and be sure that the diaphram presses firmly against the brass spring. Now by taking soundings at d]ifor- mit parte of the motor with the re- ceiver to the ear and the other end of the rod resting on the motor,. tie knocks in the motor will be magni- fied,' making it very easy to locate ' the source of the trouble. Repairing Cracks in Engline. Small cracks or holes in the water jackets of an engine may be closed by applying a paste composed of • glycerine and litharge. Mix a con- . sisceney slightly thinner than putty and work into the opening while the engine is warm and the cooling sys- tetn is drained. The engine should not be used for a few days, or until the mixture has thoroughly hardened. For parts which are exposed to intense heat, such as 'che exhauet manifold, the following mixture should be used: Fine iron filings, 40 parts; flowers of sulphur, 10 parts; sal -ammoniac, 1 part; Portland ce- ment, 20 parts. Then add water to form a fairly heavy paste. After mixing this paste, allow it to stand for a few hours and then apply. In about two days this mixture hardens, forming a substance greatly resem- bling cast iron. How to Make a Grease Gun A very serviceable grease gun can be constructed from an old single cylinder foo'c pump. The lower end of the pump is sawed off just above the foot piece. Then take a fairly large sized funnel (one that is made of heavy gunge metal) and cut it off just above the spout. Solder the funnel to the bottom of the pump cylinder. Oil or light transmission grease can be drawn into the gun by putting the end into the oil or grease and pulling on the handle. To fill with ei heavy grease, unscrew the cap and 3 remove the plunger; fill the gun with grease, then replace the plunger and Head of Ontario Motor League Offers cap. Sound Advice to Drivers Twelve "don'ts" for motorists sug- gested by R. A. Stapelis, the presid- ent of the Ontario Motor League, and particularly applicable during the holiday at hand: Don't assume that kiddies will stay on the sidewalk. They must be your care—first, last, and always. - Don •t ignore the pedestrian's rights. He also pays taxes. Don't sit like a bump on a log. Give signals and let the other fellow know what you are going to do. Don't be a swivel -neck, keep your eye on the road. Don't dwadle on the way. This 1e the twentieth century, not the Dark Ages. Don't exceed the speed limit. The -d ordinary every ay horse sense, Don't cut in—it may be smart, but it is not safe, Don't demand your right of way. Allow e margin of courtesy for safety's salte. Don't use glare lights. It is a- gainst the law, vulgar, and 'clanger- euh, D e't neglect your brakes. You nee- save a life by stopping quickly. Don't take a chance at railway cro;. in'L-s. It might he your last. Don't drive with n drunken nivel at the wheel. Solomon saw it coming anri said: "The companion of fools will be destroyed.

The null back the brake lover hard, which will lock the wheel in the laud hole. 13y letting in the clutch, all the power will be ap- plied to the wheel on solid ground, which will usually drag the other wheel out of the noel ]tole, Tuning the Horn. The pitch, or tone, of an electric, horn can be raised or lowered at will by the following method. After re- moving and taking the horn apart, place the diaphram, or disc, from which the sound is produced, on some smooth, hard surface. Then hammer lightly all around the edge of the disc. This raises the tension in the center, which causes a quicker and higher pitched tone. If one desires to lower 'the pitch, hammer as few light blows in the center of the disc. Celluloid Curtain Lights. The hest way to clean and renew celluloid curtain Lights is first to use clean vinegar, applying it with a soft piece of cheese cloth or gauze. Keep the vinegar away from the curtain material, as it might discolor it. Then( if the lights are scratched they may be renewed by applying acetone varnish, which will restore them al- most to their original transparency. Leaks in the Top, Small leaks in the top of the car can be repaired with the same rubber compound that is used for filling cuts in tire casings. Press the compound securely Inco the hole and then trim off the excess. Allow it to stand for a .few hours and then apply heated flat -irons to both sides, pressing to- gether firmly. The heat of the irons will vulcanize the rubber in place. Repairing a Spark Plug. When adjusting'che gap of a spark plug, the outer electrode will some- times break off, rendering the plug useless. But it is not necessary to throw the plug away. Merely bend the center electrode so 'chat it stands closer to the outer shell, setting the mace to the usual gap distance. When the Engine Stops Suddenly Sometimes when out on the road, the engine will stop suddenly without apparent cause. It is probably due to one of the following troubles: No gasoline supply. Spark plug broken. Electric circuit disconnected at some point. A broken wire. A loose ter- minal. Timer trouble. To Clean the Glass. Try dipping a clean cloth in gaso- line and rubbing lightly over the windshield and windows, then polish- ing with a dry cloth. SEEMS STRANGE "How did you like Venice?"

It'll mean dollars off your tire bill. Maybe they need more air. Two or three pounds under pressure will take miles off the life of a tire. Maybe there's a nail or a flint just waiting to work through and make trouble. Maybe they're O.K. and you can drive away in comfort. Ten minutes! But isn't it worth it to feel sure of your tires? Car owners spend many a half-hour on the side of the road because they won't 'take the ordinary precaution. And that's saying nothing of the extra mileage they might get and the money they might save. DC) He ' TIRE DEPOT E. C. Cunningham DEALER — — BRUSSELS uO W UNITED STATES PARTIES STAND ON PROHIBITION PLANK For purposes of comparsion the stands of the Democratic and Repub- lican parties, and that of Governor Alfred E. Smith, Democratic candi- date are given below: DEMOCRATIC The Republican party, for eight years in complete control of the Gov- vernment at Washington, present the remarkable spectacle of feeling com- pelled, in its national platform, to promise obedience to a provision of the Federal Constitution which it has flagrantly disregarded and to apolo- gize to the country for its failure to to enforce laws enacted by the Con- gress of the United States. Speak- ing for the national Democracy, this convention pledges the party and its nominees eo an honest effort to en- force the Eighteenth Amendment and all other provisions of. the Fed- eral Constitution and all laws enacted pursuant thereto. GOVERNOR SMITH Common honesty compels admis- sion, that corruption of law enforce- ment officials, bootlegging and law- lessness are prevalent throughout the country. While I fully appreciate that changes can only be made by the people themselves through their elected legislative representatives I feel it to be the slaty of the chosen leader of the people to point the way which, in his opinion, leads to a sane, sensible solution of a condition which I am convinced is entirely un- satisfactory to the great mass of our people. REPUBLICAN We reaffirm the American consti- tutional doctrine as announced by George Washington in his "Farewell Address," to wit: "The Constitution which at any time exists until changed by the ex- plicit and authentic act of the whole people is sacredly obligatory upon all," We also reaffirm the attitude of the American people toward the Fed- eral Constitution as declared by Abraham Lincoln: "We are by both duty and inclina- tion bound to stick by that Constitau- tion in all its letter and spirit from beginning to end. I am for theh on- est enforcement of the Constitution. Our safety, our liberty, depends upon preserving the Constitution of the United States, as our forefathers made it, inviolate." The people through the method provided by the Constitution have written the Eighteenth Amendment into the Constitution. The Republi- can party pledges itself and its nom- inees to the observance and vigor- ous enforcement of this provision of the Constitution. —•s Railways of Burmah are breaking all their prosperity records. - f #11111111',1'11,..pi atififfailita There are a great rnahy ways to do a joib of printin ; but quality printing is only done one way—THE BEST.
