TRUMBULL (Editor of The Sunday School Times) 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 - Wedding Gifts If you have a Gift to choose for a Bride 'VISIT 0 U GIFT SIIOI' In our store you will find suitable Wedding Gifts New Goods Just In New China New Silverware Colored Glass Cut Glass New Fancy Black aid Tambour Clocks Diamond Blegs Wedding Rings Cal] and see these lines.

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.

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.
