RAM REPORTER It has not happened here yet, hut it may soon.. One of the fav- ourite programmes in Latin -America is one where bashful men propose marriage to their girl friends on a radio programme. It's listening audience is terrific. You probably wonder how the proposer could know the object of his affection is listening in. On enquiring, we found out the Radio Stations put advertisements in the newspapers, listing the names of the people to be proposed to. One of the local producers, will no doubt steal this before long. :., * 4, Keep Fighting Fit, a new pro- gramme presented by the District Cadet Officer of Military District Number 2, Major C. E.

No, the hens are rolling out the eggs faster than industry can build cases to ' hold then, But the. point is, egg cases, like money, should be kept in circulation. And apparently they are not. It is my guess that somewhere along the line egg cases are being broken up ant burnt, It's like •this. The egg grading station supplies crates to the farmers; the farmer sends his eggs back in the cases. Tlie grader- sorts and grades the eggs and ships them to retail stores and to Montreal. The cases are not returned, so, itiore cases have to be made all the time and, with the labour shortage, that really means something. Now you tell me—wlial ltap,iens to the cases that are shipped out. Isn't that worth looking into? SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON April 2 SAUL BECOMES A NEW MAN Acts 9: 1-19; 22: 6-16; 26: 12-20 PRINTED TEXT. Acts 9: 1-9, 13-19a. GOLDEN TEXT.—If any ratan is in Christ, he is a new creature. :: Corinthians S: 17. Memory Verse: Be ye kind. Ephesians 4: 32 THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—The exact chronology of the Apostle Paul's life is difficult, and different opinions are Held by different scbolais. Approximately one may say that Saul of Tarsus was born in A.D. I. His conver- sion took place abou. A.D. 35. His. last visit to Jerusalem Was in A.D. 58 and his defense before Agrippa e-fo c in A.D.80. The Apostle was be- headed A.D. 64, Place.—The conversion of Paul, n. d the events immediately follow- ing, took place -near and in the city of Damascus, in Syria, some- times called the oldest city in the v. trio. Saul's defense -before the multitude in the temple occurred, of couse, in ,erusalant. 1lis address to Agrippa was g'ven in Caesarea, a great city on the Syrian coast. Saul's Persecution Of The Church "Saul of Tarsus before his con- version But Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, and asked of him letters to Damascus unto the synagogues, that if be found any that were of the way, Whether men or tvotncu, he night bring them hound unto Jerusalem." Saul, later the Apostle s'aul fust appears in New Testament records as a young ttlan standing near while Stephen was stoned (Acts 7: 20), the have a brief but vivid account of Saul's terrible persecution of the Church (Acts. 8: 13) the great anin- istryof Philip is then recorded and Saul reappears, still fiercely pur- suing Christians everywhere. We find him now on the way from Jerusalem to Damascus. Saul's Conversion "And as he ,uuuteyed, it cane to pass that he drew eigh unto Damascus: and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven." \Vlty \Nes such a super- natural manifestation at this tihte? Because this was needed to ,wrest this strong-willed man, Saul, IIc could only be startled and artested by something winch he knew, with- out doubt, Came front God Saul Knows The Truth "And be fell u1 ..

"And he said, 1 ant Jesus whom thou persecutes'. It is hard for thee to kick against the goad," Christ told (tins that lie nos like the stupid oxen kicking against the goad, .inrefusing to do what they. were ordered to do, only inflicting suffering upon themselves. Saul Yields To Christ "But rise and enter into the city, - and'it shall be told thee what thou must do. And the then that jour- neyed with hint stood speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no pian." Paul is immediately a man yielded to Christ and from titot day to the day he died, he was ever seeking to know and to do the will of Itis Lord. "Arid Saul arose from the earth and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and chcy led lona by the hand, and .nought hint into Damascus, And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor drink," Bu though it was dark without, it was bright within Soul's innermost being, Christ's Commandment "But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man . . . . for I will show him snow many things be trust suffer for my name's sake." When Ananias reminded the Lord that this man Saul was a hater of cite Christian faith the Lord told him neverthe- less to go ac.' do as he was com- manded, for Saul ttas indeed for Clod a chosen ve, eel to proclaim His name. „And Ananias departed ....sand be filled with the Holy Spirit" Saul was met in a loving and trust- ful spirit. Ile le,,rned that lie was not to he treated lie a solitary out- cast, and new friends were ready 0) welcome hint, ".\nd straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight. .1nd he arose fled rias' baptized. And he took food and was strengthened." Saul was imnutliately received as a true believer among the company of Christians then residing in Dam- ascus. Man's True Course 'The nature of this appearance of Christ:" Man's true course is tc strive and ascertain whether he is following, obeying anu loving God. God atv .'.ens some, as. He uiu Paul, by an awful catastrophe; others grow up before Him front infancy like Samuel and Timothy; others God gradually changes from sin and worldliness to peace and righteousness like Jacob of old time. 20,000,000 Parcels Since Dunkirk, the British post office has despatch d 20;000,000 par- cels to British prisoners of war in Europe, it was announced lest week.
