Thus, many of us spiritual development. What can food deep emotional experiences came to six feet across. i want to see far countries and to enjoy or the feasting of the eye, or the feel that they were not 'religious enough' by nature, and so turned away, not only from these exper- iences,—or lack of them—but turned away from the Church, ' from the Word, the Revelation, the Spirit of God. The Church today is suffering from a necessary reaction against this emotional, human -centred, con- version -experienced type of religion. As we might expect under Such conditions, the words 'conversion', 'new birth', and so forth, were among the most frequent used in the de- scription of the 'Christian life'; and as we might expect also, these words were applied not so much to the elec- tion, the calling, the setting apart of man by GOD, as they were applied to the human counterpart of that calling in the experience of man. No- thing seemed more suited to bolster up this position, and to confirm this tendency, than the passages in the Acts of the Apostles which recount the 'Conversion experience' of Saul of Tarsus. That this human, sub- jective reaction to that revelation which was altogether beyond Paul's descriptione-"above the brightness of the sun"—should one day come to be set up as a standard by which to measure the reality of a 'Christian's life' — this, surely, was the ' last thought the Apostle had in mind when he narrated the story of that great event. , In each of the passages in the Acts where this story is told there ie a word which will enable us, to see what is the true significance of the experience on the way- of Damas- cus. In Acts 9 it is the word of lite Lord to Ananias in reply to the lat- ter's objection to „Saul, "Go thy way for he is a chosen vessel unto me . . ." And in Acts 22 it is the word of Ananias to the inan of Tarsus, "Brother Saul . . the God of our fathers hath chosen thee that thou shoulds't know his will . . ." It is to give testimony to the fact that he, Saul of Tarsus, has marvellously, graciously, been. chosen of God, and to direct his bearers to. this CALL- ING that the Apostle telle; a the temporal, visible eeperiermes which were the counterpart of that Eternal Action of God. It is in this Eternal Word, and not at all in he temporal experience, that Paul places his whole faith and his only hope. For this reason, in his epistles, Paul speaks not of the temporal aspect of his re- birth, but rather of his "being sep,ar- ated from his mother's womb" (Gal. 1 :15); his beihgy "Foreknown, pre- destined, called, justified and glorified in Christ" (Rom. 8:29; 30, 38); his being chosen in Christ "before the foundation of the world" Eph. 1:4) etc. So fay from finding in his car: - version experience a source of life or con this experience was for Paul ; the beginning of that - "de- liver:mice unto death" of his whale temporal life' with all its Jexp.er- iences', good or bed. According to his own testimony, Paul's true life , is "hid With Plebe in God"; and , •••••••••••••••••••• 01•••••••11111=1‘ 41111•21•NIMIMMI15-.......1. 11.0.0MOM 3 r' MISTER LOCAL MERCHANT MAKE SURE YOUR SALES MESSAGE AP- PEARS EVERY WEEK IN THESE COLUMNS FOR THE GUIDANCE OF LOCAL BUYERS 'AND THUS KEEP THE LOCAL DOLLARS AT HOME.
