Sunday School Lesson
BY CHARLES G. 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:

One hundred million trees have
been distributed throughout the
Western provinces from the For-
estry Farm here and its subsidiary
at Sutherland, and the work is still
progressing at an unabated rate.
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.

receiver and an iron rod. Procure

move the magnet and.iniert an iron
red aobut twe or three feet long.
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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
