SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR • SEPTEMBER 2nd, 1923 Lesson Title—Paul the Apostle. Lesson Passage—Acts 22 : 3, 6-10; Phil. 3 : 7-14. Golden teat—PhiL 3 : 14. In Acts 22 : 3, 6-10, we have part of a speech Paul made at the time he was driven out of the templte and at- tacked by a mob. On being rescued by the captain of the band Paul be- sought him for permission to speak to the people. On hearing him begin in the Hebrew tongue they listened most attentively. He kept back nothing from them as to his identity (verse 3) for it was supposed he was that Egyptian which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thou- sand men that were murderers (Acts 22 : 38). He told them he was no Egyptian but a Jew born in Tarsus, at that time "no mean city." It was a flourishing city. Its staple manu- facture was the weaving into gar- ment; and tent -covers the hair sup- plied in large quantities by the flocks of goats in the region round about. Every Jewish boy was taught a trade no matter what position his parents occupied, and thus it was Paul, the boy, was fitted to earn his own sup- port as a tent -maker when he be- came Paul, the preacher. The date of Paul's birth is not given but it is reckoned that he was born in the same decade as Jesus. Besides being taught a trade he would be given the early training of other Jewish boys. At five they began the study of the Old Testament with their parents and at six they entered school under a Rabbi. If destined to become a Rabbi, they would at thirteen enter the school of some great Rabbi. Paul said he was brought up in this city (Jerusalem)"atthe feet of Gam- aliei, and taught according to the perfect manner of the. law of the -fathers (verse 3). This eminent teacher,a'a doctor of the last had in reputation among all the people" left his mark upon his pupils, but Paul did not imbile his tolerant spirit, for we read how Gamaliel cautioned the council to take heed how they treat- ed the apostles for fear "ye be found even to fight against God" (Acts 6: 34-39), Paul told them he certainly had been bitterly opposed to Christ- ianity; had been "zealous toward God'as ye all are this day." He was conscientious then in opposing, as he was now in esponsing, the new doctrine, as was seen in the part he played in the stoning of Stephen and since in his treatment of Christians, "hailing them and dragging them to prison," not even exempting women from his ruthless treatment. From this he proceeded to describe most graphically his conversions from being a foe to being a friend to Christ, showing it was purely the act of God. In 1 Cor. 9:1, Paul spoke of this appearance as the Lord Jesus who arrested his attention in this startling way. Barnabas also in Acts '9.27 declared that Paul "had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him." Paul had been an outstanding persecutor and unusuall even supernatural, means were employed to make him an ap- ostle; so it is not unreasonable to think that the "glory of Jehovah" in the person of the risen Saviour was really seen by Paul, who also heard and answered His voice. Paul spoke of this appearance not as of a per- son but as "glory" and again as "the light was above the brightness of the sun at midday." The effect this vis- ion had on Paul was to cause him to fall down and, in this attitude of hu- mility, he heard a voice calling him by name, not once but twice—an em- phatic mode of address used on dif- ferent occasions by Jesus such as, "Martha, Martha;" "Simon, Simon;" "Jerusalem, Jerusalem." In Paul's blindness he asked: "Who art thou Lord?" which was just another way of saying: •"Who art thou, Sir?" thinking it was the voice of a mere man, but gradually presence he really was and the use of the word "Lord" in his next question: "What shall I do, Lord?" would mean something more than a mere form of address. His conversion was a miraculous one, but having been aroused to a sense of his guilt and crying out to know the Saviour's will, the ordinary means of growth are to be his. It is one step at a time, "arise and go to Damascus" and there he would be in- structed by a devout man, one Anan- ias. The men who journeyed with him were affected, too, by the brigkt light but in a lesser degree; and they heard only a noise, not a voice, as in the case of the people when God spake to Jesus. "Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have bath glorified it and will glorify it again.

From this de- scription of Paul's conversion, we learn that conversion is a personal matter whereby we become aware of our guilt and submit our wills to that of the Saviour from sin and are led step by step into the new life, being hid with Christ in God. Phil. 3 : 7-$. In this epistle Paul exhorted "all the saints in Cbirst Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and dea- cons "to be humble and to beware of false teachers. In the first six vers- es of this chapter he showed them how he had been "to the very heart a Jew—a Jew in culture, a Jew in sympathy, a Jew in nationality, a Jew in faith" and yet "what things were gain to 'me those I counted loss for Christ" (verse 7). This showed how far Paul had travelled since the day of his 'conversion. "Paul, when he became a Christian, gave up his brilliant prospects in regard to this life, and, everything indeed on which his heart had been placed, He might have risen to the highest posts of honor in his native land, and the path which an ambitious young man desires was fully open before him" (Barnes). Yes, doubtless, and I count all things but loss, that I may win Christ'. Verses 9-14. Paul in these verses disclaimed any thought that he had reached perfection. He referred to the Grecian games in which the contestants look not be- � hind them but press forward to gain the prize—a crown of olive or laurel. So he was keeping in mind in his life race the prize—an eternal crown. "The calling of the Christian is from heaven to heaven and he can win if he faint not nor look behind. It de- mends his utmost efforts but it is worth all the exertion which a mor- tal can make even in the longest ' life." It is the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. WORLD MISSIONS When William Carey, the cobbler, became William Carey, the father of modern missions, the rule of the East India Company was supreme in that land. Those - at the head did not want Christianity introduced for fear of its becoming a disturbing element in the lives -of the natives. Could they have paid any higher tribute to the 'power of the gospel? William Carey had hoped to be sent as a mis- sionary yto the South Sea Islands, but having been sent to India he did not intend to be baffled by the Company. He secured a position as overseer on a plantation, and in that way got a chance to learn the language. When he became sufficiently conversant with tit to allow of his beginning translation work he took up' his re- sidence in the Dutch territory of Ser- ampore. For forty years he labored as translator and teacher, and at the time of his death he had translated the Bible or parts of it into forty dialects of India.

MYSTERIOUS BOX TO BRING MILLENNUM No religious sect in the United States, where sects are most exuber- ent and eccentric, has been able peri- odically to attract more attention to itself than a sect in England compos- ed of those who believe that Joanna Southcott was a specially endowed prophetess and messenger from Heav- en. What her strange preachmenta were we have been at no pains - to discover, though they are accepted now by not fewer than 30,000 people. Not her doctrine but her ,curious will is what has touched the ublic fancy and for many years at intervals there arises a demand that her mysterious box shall be opened according to her directions, so that the ills of England and of the world at large shall im- mediately disappear and the millen- nium be ushered in. While the war was raging the demand was made more than once, but the conditions could not be complied with. Now it is made again and large sums of money are being spent by somebody or other in newspaper advertising and onhoardings calling upon the Arch- bishop of Canterbury to act before it is too late. Joanna must have been a woman out of the ordinary. She was a do- mestic servant on a Devonshire farm, became an upholsterer and later the founder of the sect that bears her name. She had curious delusions and probably a modern psychiatrist would prpnounce her unbalanced. When she was sixty- four years old, she announced that 1 she was about to give birth to a spiritual child who would establish a reign of peace and plenty. Her fol- lowers, in expectation of the event, provided her with a costly cradle, but the child did not appear. No doubt Joanna had an adequate ex- planation, and in any event people who were ready to believe that a lady of her age would produce this child would not be hard to pacify when it became necessary for the prophetess to announce a definite postpopement. They continued to believe in her until after her death, and even increased in numbers as a result of the strong evangelical spirit developed by some of her successors. Her last will and testament called her name to ,the attention of millions who had never before heard of her. She declared that she deposited in a box certain holy or mystic docu- ments or writings. This box was to be opened when England was in a desperate plight. It was not to be opened with no more ceremony than one would employ with a . box of sardines. It could only be opened by twenty-four Bishops of the Church of England, specially as- sembled in special circumstances. Unless opened according to direc- tions, ber mysterious box would give forth no miracles, but if directions were obeyed she guaranteed sensa- tions. Beside the twenty-four Bish- ops there were to be in attendance twenty-four members of the South- cott sect and one neutral attorney. A suitable house is to he hired for the occasion and one condition is that it shall bel close to a field or railed -in place. The box is to be kept in the vault or cellar of the house for three days before the great event. It is provided also that the' biahops 1 and the followers as well as the lone neutral shall improve their minds, and while away the hours of the first day in reading the account of Joanna's trial and in dis- cussing such questions -as may 'nat- urally arise from the exercise.

',111 "If the verdict of the Bishops be against the writings they may be burnt." It seems simple enough. The catch in it is to get twenty-four Bishops to spend three days in such circumstances. It is simply impos- sible to imagine them going through the programme which includes a day of disputation with the believers in Joanna's teachings. They would no doubt prefer to debate with a class of freethinkers. Nevertheless the Southcottians insist that they ate advancing unworthy quibbles and are blind to the vast import- ance of the issues at stake. The point is, of course, that the. Bishops regard the whole thing as preposter- ous. The - average) Bishop might al- most prefer to abandon his diocese rather than participate in any such rites as Joanna prescribed. Yet the campaign in the press continues and the Archbishop of Canterbury has been goaded to public utter- ance. He announces that he has repeat- edly urged that the box shall be opened forthwith, . and has done hitt very best to secure- that -this shall be done. He is willing personally; to attend the opening. He says+. however, that there are several boxes in existence each claiming to be the depository of the secreta of Joanna Southcott and that the con- ditions imposed by those in charge of the box or boxes wquld make the whole proceedings farcical; To this it is replied that there are only two boxes, but -one is for the Government and the Bishops have nothing to de with it. The genuine box is said to have been left in the custody of the vicar of Swinford, Worcestershire who afterwards prised' it to his sort who was vicar of North Cadbury, ht Staffordshire. Its present where. abouts is kept secret, but is knowit to a select few Soutbcottians who will convey the necessary information ton the Bishops ween twenty-four of them get ready to act. We predict,, that they will not act and that the agitation will presently die down.. only to be revived in a few years, and again die down and come to lifer t ui There's Longer Life —in the shine and longer life in the shoe, if you use "Nugget."
