SAUL'S EARLY MINISTRY
Sunday, July 22 --Acts Sae -50; 11:
19-20; 12:25: Galatians 1:15-18 -
Golden Text.
Straightway he preacoed Christ in
the synagogues, that He is the Son
of God (Acts 9:20).
When a certain disciple at Damas-
cus named Ananias was told by the
Lord to help a- man named Saul cf
Tarsus; Ananias answered: "Lord, I
Have heard by many of this man, how
inuch evil he hath done to Thy saints
at Jerusalem." The Lord':- answer
was a strange one: "Go thy way;
for he is a chosen vessel unto Me,
to bear SIy name before the Gentiles
and kings, and the children of Is-
rael."
This man Saul, many yeare after
his name had been channel
wrote to a young Christian: "This is
a faithful saying, and worthy of all
acceptation, that Christ nasus came
into the world to save sinners; of
whom 1 ant chief" (I. Tim., 1:151.
Earlier he had referred to himself
as one "not meet to be cail.yd an a-
postle, l ecause I ,serse:cutcd the
church of God" (L Cor. 15:S). That
word of Ananias, reciting truly the
sort of desperate character t. -i.' man
Saul was. taken with 0s: fosse t eL
this week, is a striking illu,zr..r.on
of the truth given later through Paul
by inspiration: "But where sin a-
bounded, grace did much more a-
bound" (Rom. 5:20). Sin laid cer-
tainly abounded in the hi.a of this
roan Saul. Grace abouuried much
more. Saul was changed from a
murderea to a life -giver. Ave. we
conscious of desperately !:op,cle.s:1 sins
In our own life? Let us be conscious
of an omnipotently _able Savious,
whose grace abounds much more than
our worst sin.
Ananias trusted God, at what seem
ed like the risk of his own life, and
the sought out the perieoutor and
called him "Brother Saul." The new
brother in Christ abode "certain
days with the disciples which were at
Damascus." What a wonderful time
they must have had talking things
aver! How they must have hung
upon Soul's words and he on theirs!_
Then "straightway he preached
Christ in the synagogues, that He is
the son of God." In the synagogues
he went straight to the Jews and the
unbelieving Jews, who had been his
co-workers and fellow -conspirators in
;persecution of Christians. It is 110
wonder that all that heard him were
amazed," and asked one another
whether this was not the man who
had been hounding Christians to
death.
It could nett hold Saul back. He
"increased tae more in strength, and
Confounded the Jews which dwelt at
Damascus, proving that this i; very
Christ." There could be only. one
end to this; "The Jews took counsel
to kill him." They watched day and
night for their opportunity, but by
the help of the disciples in Damascus
Saul escaped, being let down by the
wall in a basket. Even if his life
had ended then and there, he had al-
ready had a notable ministry for
Chris';. It was to continue, however
for thirty years.
Saul came back to Jerusalem from
Damascus eventually, but how differ-
ent was his return from what he had
expected. He planned to come back
in charge of a group of Christians
bound and doomed to die. Instead,
he returned as a Christian, barely es-
caping from the persecutio t of the
Jaws with -his own life, an outcast
from his people ,the Pharisees, scc rn-
sd and despised.
He tried to join himself to the dis-
ciples at Jerusalem, "but 'they Were
all afraid of him, and helieven not
that he was a disciple." One could
hardly blame them. Then came a
true friend, a Christian named Tler-
+,abas, who stood sponsor for Seal.
Ile• "brought him to the Apostle:4,
end declared unto them how he had
seen the Lord in the way, and that
He had spoken of Iiia, and how he
had preached bol,lly in Damuecus in
the name of. Jesus." haul was ac-
cepted as one of them, and he must
have proved his sincerity very cen-
elusively then, for "he spite boldly
in the naine of the Lord .Te:us." It
does not take long to see the Holy
rr
Spirit working in a man', life and
speaking through him, if He is really
there.
Soul was brought into conflict with
tete Hellenists, or Grecian Jews, and
'they went about to slay him." It
was life and death business in these
days to be a Christian. Perhaps the
Churrh would be a healthier condi-
tion today, spiritually, if it were in
danger of its life every 'lay.
Again Saul had to withdraw to
other parts co save his lite, and he
was brought by some of the brethren
to Caesarea, and in turn sent forth
to Tarsus.
The scene abruptly ohanges (Acts
11:19). We are shown the scatter-
ing nbmad of believers from the per-
secution that arose about. Stephen,
and ea'che Gospel was quickly spread
through countries about the Meiliteia
ranean. Tremendous number; otl
Jews ware converted aid saved, The
Jerusalem church sent l.irna:has to
go as far as Antioch to exhort and
help the new Christians: he did so.
and many more were sa:,•d. Th.'n
he set oht to Tarsus to find .caul.
They returned toaether to Antioch
and =pent a whole year - with the
church in Bible teaching and in evm-
:elism. There it was thrt the 1.
rinli s were first called hri-(iens.
An errend of mercy took Barna-
bas and Saul from An:io;•n back to
Jerusalem, bearing charitable relief
to the' believers there because of a
great famine that was cooling. The
early church was practiial because it
was spiritual.
To his Epistle to the Galatians Paul
tells the secret of his spiritual en-
lightenment and power as a young
Christian. He had attired into .Ara-
bia. conferring "not with flesh and
blood," but being alone with God;
and from there .he retutnel to Darn -

with the reunion is due the untiring
efforts of our most esteemed friend
Jeho Per'lue.
P,y two o'clock fully a thousand
lmaplc had assembled.
A procession composed of ex -pup -
Ile in grocestine attire tnci the, school

music of the Moant Forest 1' pc Bmid
into the restful and shady grounds
of the :school, which were beautifully
decorated.
A magnificient flag, donated by
Dr. Diary 1•'indlater, floated on the
literstall', while smaller flags flirted
with the Stars and Stripes among the
evergron:s. The school was organiz-
ed and originally built in 1504 and
this was their first reunieo.
Wm. lsbistcr. of Wingiham, and an
old resident and perhaps the oldest
elan in the community, ocsupiecl the
chair.
C. G. Campbell, president of the
reunion organization, read an ad-
dress of welcome, as follows: -•-
"It is with varied emotions that I
stand before you, friends of the past
and present. There are the vivid
memories of boyhood, early man-
hood, and my very life itself, wrapp-
ed up in the associations of this lo-
cality. Although not five years old
when the first meeting to form this
school section was called, I seen
either in reality or because of the
concentration we old timers have
been engaged in to recall the past,
have a vague recollection of that first
meeting which was hold in our home,
the oldest in the locality and the
first, other than log cabins to oc-
cupy the community for miles about.
It would be well for me to pay a tri-
bute to 'che former teachers whose
influence has reached the farthest
corners of the earth. As evidence of
this I have pleasure in reading a let-
ter just received from a forme; pupil
now in Mexico. Men and women in
rill walks of life have leavened their
.l.1I.C,s' in this little scone school
and its log predecessor. Pew teachers
realize the influence they have in the
progress of civilization. Reverently
do we bow our heads to the memory
of those pioneer tc'acaers whose
methods may not harp been just
what we would today call progress-
ive. But surly we must realize :hart
in those early days of begimi(n,r f:
was difficult for anyone to acquire
the knowledge that was necessary
and which today is within easy reach
of all. Everyone of us is thinking. of
the past today. The faces of those
that have gone before us to the ocher
world, rise in veiled memory before
us. And it is well for hue to call to
your mind that there are hundreds
here in spirit who could not make
the trip for various reasons. In
conclusion I want to thank the var-
ious committees who have assisted
in making this day possible. And it
is my intention that this address may
be prepared in such a way that is
may be hung in the old school as a
memento of this first reunion for 1
feel certain that other reunions will
be organized in the progress of time.
And it seems fitting to me that there
should be a tangible memorand•c of
this happy day.
This address of welcome was fol-
lowed by appropriate addresses by
ex -teachers, ex -pupils and George
Spotton. M.P. Mr. Spotton ve,y
kindly made a donation of money to
the organization.
Highland dancing to splendid ripe
music featured the afternoon. but
best of all was the happy :reunion of
the old boys and girls, who were pre-
sent from coast to coast and as far
south as the State of Kansas.
Everywhere "Becky was meeting
Jarcic" and "Tom was meeting Jane"
while others were looking for the
"Spring tic the foot of the hill" and
the "ole swlminin' hole."
About five o'clock hot coffee and
lunch was served.
Dr. W. R. Roe in his numerous
thappy manner occupied the chair for
the evening, A good program of ex-
cellent local talent assisted by Master
Robert Beekman ,of Kansas Cicy,
was rendered. A dance followed
where the old -became young again.
This brought to a close the happy

Here's Average In Tires and Tubes.
Each motorist on the North Anterl-
earl continent during the year ending
'April 1, 1928, wore out 1.9 casings
and 2.4 inner tubes in the operation
of his automobile, according to com-
pilation of the motorists' association,
based upon figures showing tlhat dur-
ing that period 45,920,000 casings
and 56,251,000 inner tubes were
lnanufttc'cured and sold.
Noisy Brakes.
One of the newest reeognizod
causes of noisy brakes is vibration.
This occurs if one of the brakes is a
little out of adjustment. Instead of
easing up en the brakes when such
trouble starts, 'the best rule is to step
on the brakes vigorously. This helps
to make the loose mechanism inside
the drum hold and stop vibrating.
of Oils.
Very 'chin and diluted oil in the
engine will create friction between
pistons and cylinders. caused by the
lightness of the lubricant, causing
the film on the cylinder walls to be
broken. If the oil is too heavy, there
will be difficulty in distrubing it even-
ly over all fricttional surfaces. so
1 that some parts will run dry. This
condition will cause excessive heat
in the engine.
Worn engine bearings can be de-
tected by the oil gauge pressure. As
the bearings wear, the oil circulates
more freely and the pressure chops.
When the time limit is reached for
the changing of oil in the crankshaft,
it is a wise plan to check np on the
lubrication of all other part; of the
car ac the some time.
