The Lesson In Its Setting. Time.—Saul's' conversion A,D. 36, Place.—Damascus, in Syria-, about 4o miles north of Jerusalem, And it came to pass, that, as 1 made my journey, and drew nigh unto Damascus. "Tradition, ever. anxious to fix the exact site of every great event in history, tells us that. the awful vision which -struck Saul blind, but at the same time opened his spiritual eyes, carne to hint at the spot now called Es-Salehiyeli, where the umbrageous gardens of the magnificent city of Damascus first break upon eyes that have been tortured by sterile mountains and thirsty plains; and half bfinded by the overpowering Syrian sun. About noon. It was (and is) customary foor. travellers in that hot climate to rest at noon and not to resume their journey till the declining sun miti- gated the terrific heat; but Saul, in his impetuous 'zeal, was pressing on,. in great haste to get at his wicked task, Suddenly ' there shone from heaven a greatlight round about me. The light wasdazzling and blinding. It was the great light of deity, which in ancient days glowed above the mercy seat in the Most Holy Place, and which was manifest in many crucial events during Bible times, And I fell unto thegrouhd. Saul's companions (Acts 26: 14.) fell to the ground with him, all being ' utterly prostrated by terror by that noise- less explosion of awful light. And heard a voice saying unto me. We are not told definitely that Saul had not met Jesus in the flesh and heard Him speak, but this is clearly im- plied'in the narrative. Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me? The Hebrew form of Saul's name, Seoul, is here used, showing that we here have Christ's exact words, as related to Luke by Paul himself. Another evidenced of this is the doubling of the name, which seemsto have been characteristic of our Lord, as in "Simon, Simon" (Luke 22:31) and "Martha, Martha" (Luke zo:41.) And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? Here is another evidence that Saul had not seen Jesus in the flesh, for if he had, he would have recognized him is his glorified body. And He said .unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou ' persecutest. With these words Saul's house of bigotry and hatred tumbled about his head. Arid they that were with me be- held indeed the light, but they heard not the voice of Him that spake to me. In Acts 9: 7 it is said that Saul's companions heard the voice, but "voice" is not in the same case as here, a distinction in the Greek that cannot be imitated in the Eng- lish. Saul's companions heard a sound, but not articulate words; Saul distinguished the words. And X said, What shall I do, Lord? This question is most charcteristic of Saul the energetic. As soon as the true `way of life was presented to him, he was ready to set out upon it. And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus. There in the great city where Saul intend- ed to (work against Christ, he was now to work for him. And there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to. do. It. was made, clear to Saul from the hour of his conversion that his life was a part of the plan of God, that his new Master had a' definite work else could do so well, Every Chris- tian should know this same thing to for him to perform, one that no one be true of himself, Saul's New Commission And when 'I could not see for the glory of that light. The blindness which then came upon Saul, though the full calamity was supernaturally. removed three days later, caused seemingly a weakness ,' of the eyes which remained •, with Saul through- out his life, and which many believe to have been the "thorn in the flesh of which he wrote. Thus his indis- tinct vision caused hint to fail to identify the high priest (Acts 23.5), and made it necessary for him to dictatehis epistles to an amanuen- sis, and, when he signed them, to sign with "la.rge letters," Being led bythe hand of them that were with me. ,An indication that he had made the journey on foot.;, for if he hada been riding he would have been placed on the animal he had been rising, which his companions would have led, Thus' titan's Pride must be brought low before he will bow beneath the scepter of tite Xfing of and p ' scif life His name.

I carne into Damascus: "The beauty of Damascus, situated between barren mountains and the desert has been sang by many a poet... And one Ananias. It is well to have this name redeemed, and it is a pity that when we think of it we, remember the liar of the early church (Acts 5: x-6), rather than this good man who helped Saul, A de- vout man according to the law. He was a disciple of Christ (Acts 9. lo) perhaps one who had come from Jerusalem, though probably before Saul's persecution; but he remained a true Jew, faithful to the law of Moses, as were all the Christians. Well reported of by all the Jews that dwelt there. Though a Chris- tian, he was honored by the Jews of Damascus, among ,whom there had not yet been time for such hostility to Christianity to grow up as had developed in Jerusalem, fomented by the , Sanhedrin and the other Jewish leaders. Came unto me. In Acts .9: xo-16 Luke tells us, having his informa- tion from Saul, how a vision of Christ came to this Ananias, bidding him go into the street called Straight, a long, straight street which down to our oivn day ran through Damascus, being the princi- pal thoroughfare of the city. •The was 'to ask' in the house of Judas for Saul of Tarsus, Who was blind, who had been much in prayer, and who had had a vision . of Ananias coming and restoring his sight by placing hands upon him. But Ananias was terrified by the very name of Saul, of whose persecuting errand to Damascus he had heard, and protested against the errant, The Lord,, however, reassured him by telling him that this very Saul had been chosen by him to carry His naive before Jews and Gentiles and even into royal courts, and that he who had caused so :many Chris- tians to suffer would himself suffer many things for the name of Christ. Therefore Ananias obtained suffi- cient courage to seek out the dread messenger of the hostile Sanhedrin. And standing by me said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. Ananias was evidently moved by the sight of the blind man. Laying his hands on him, as Saul in his vision had seen him doing, and tailing' him '(Brother," Ananias told him of the message that had come to .him from the Lord. And in that very hour I looked upon him. Scales fell from his eyes (Acts 9: i8.). And he said, The God of our Fathers hath appointed thee to know His will. Ananias derived this from the Lord's statement to him that Saul was "a chosen vessel." And to see the Righteous One. Jesus is most fittingly called "The Right- eous One, for He alone is perfectly righteous and we maybe righteous only as His righteousness is 'impart- ed; to us. And to hear a voice from His mouth. , Thus Saul not only saw but heard the Lord Jesus, "as one born out of due time," (Cor. 15: 8). For thou shalt be a Witness for Him unto all men of what thou hast seen: and heard. All of Christ's apostles were to be Ilis witnesses of what they had seen and heard '"(Acts x: 8), and now Saul no less than they. .And now why tamest thou? "Ac- cording, to the narrative in Acts 9'4 15 the message of Ananias had, already' proclaini:ed the gift of the Holy Spirit to Saul, and the favor of God had been shown in the recovery of his sight, Arise, and be baptised and wash away thy sins, calling' oat bceause. Christ bad commanded the use of the sacred rite (Matt, 2S: 19, etc.) as a testimony before men of faith in Christ.

"These days the gardens are in bloom Peonies, iris roses, etc. are at their best and delight the hearts ef. the flower lovers in their own Pro- duct, iiut how much more pleasure they can derive from them if they give pleasure to someone else. The citizen who has no garden gets de- light from their fragrance and their beauty as he passes, the sick person that shares some of these flowers is refreshed and. strengthened, Flowers are a tonic.. On Saturday, while waiting for a friend to finish his business in •Wing- ham, we wandered around the side. 1 streets of the town and seeing a gar- den foil of peony bloom we went over to see them, and .enquire. the names of the particularly beautiful blooms. The young 'couple were extremely kind and very ready to impart all the information possible, and then picked a magnifcent bunch of 'gloom for us to take home. There is and will la a kindly feeling for the people for this gracious act, and they have created :a kindly feeling for tike town, so that the act of the individual wields its jinfluence for the community. The flower lover who beautifies his place is not only heaping up beauty which repays himself but it benefits his cons. 1 triunity as well, and if he shares those flowers he is doing double duty with. them. 111111111YI11151I ISI I Iii 1ISI I IBIM I ill I IMI1ll111]!I IK11®I I I®11111111/Ii 10111/111 Ib1111K 1111111®Illi•Il112 i !
