LESSON STORY.
L. The Prosecutor Conscience

L. The Prosecutor Conscience
mitten,-vs. 1-6.
For months Saul had been. under d.
rection of the Sanhedrim, spiteful
prosecutor in Jerusalem. He was yet
breathing threatening and slaughter. as
he, under commission of the high priest,
was proceeding on mission of pereecu-
tion to Damascus.
Breathing hatred! He was saturated
with hatred of Christians. He testified
to his hatred by his acts. 1t found ex-
preston in his words. He made hatred
an atmosphere about him. He breathed
it. The governing principle of his life
was hatred of the name and followers OF
Jesus.
The Roman authorities at this period
allowed the Sanhedrim unwonted power
over it's subjects. 1t was within its
conceded right to send requisition on
the synagogues of Damascus for all the
Christians of that city, both men and
women, that they be sent bound to Jer
usalem.
Saul. in the prime Of his vigor, thirty
five years of age. consuming with ran
cor, craved the privilege of exterminat-
ing the Christians in Damascus. He
was by the high priest duly commission
ed as foreign prosecutor.
AS he with his caravan, mounted on
horses and camels. drew near to Damas-
cus,-tradition locates the spot but a
mile away from the citY,-an event
transpired which transformed the per
secutor into disciple.
The mid day sun was shining bright,
when light suddenly appeared in the
sky above the brightness of the sun
The appearance was doubtless as myster
ious to those who beheld it. as it is to-
day to us. The progress of the caravan
was arrested. Saul sank down from his
horse; every guardsman, smitten with
awe, followed his example and fell to the
ground.
The soldiers of the guard soon rose to
their feet But Saul could not rise. He
had been more deeply smitten than the
Others. 10 the light which had dazzled
and blinded him, he had seen, as he years
atterward testified Il Cor. 10; 81, the
person, the spiritual body of Jesus.
A flash of unearthly brightness in the
sky. In the flash heavenly revelation
of Jesus. Then, for Saul, darkness.
In this darkness the PROSTATE Saul
heard sound To the bewildered guard
it was only sound; but to the perse-
cutor it formed itself into articulated
speech. Saul. Saul, tohy perSecutest
thou me? The stricken nearer, not ques-
tioning that the voice came from the one
he had seen in the light, asked. Who art
thou, Lord9 The reply came, I am
Jesus eOhons. thou persecutest.
The Voice. according to our Scripture
lesson, then directed Saul to rise and go
into the city, where he would be told
what he must do. But according to
Saul's subsequent recollection when be-
fore Agrippa. it was the Voice itself
which fully instructed him that he was
called to be a preacher Of Jesus to the
Gsntiles. We infer that the beginning
of conviction was instantaueously born
within him that he must be a world
wide preacher of the Gospel of the Naz,
arene.
When Saul rose to his feet. midday
had for him changed to midnight. He
had been, as the Voice had told him.

RIVALRY IN LOCOMOTIVE POWER

RIVALRY IN LOCOMOllNE fOW hh.
One of the greatest developments of
modern transportation is the rivalry
between steam railways and electric
lines. Though the opposition is now
but a growing youth, it is giving the
steam roads lots of trouble. The Con-
solidated Housatonic system in Connec
ticut has recently been driven by the
threat of its electric rivals, to substitute
as fast as possible the more subtitle
agency for steam. Others OF the great
lines have been debating a similar
change, and It is only question Of time
when the cumbrous steam locomotive
will cease to be.
AS a mechanical fact in the march Of
science. this is interesting But as a
potency in the transformation Of finan-
cial and business affairs II offers still
more curious possibilities. The success
full railroads of our period, with their
watered stock, their residuary legaces
OF ruined properties, their immense po-
litical and business influence. sum up a
colossal factor in modern life. They rep
resent such tremendous wealth and
power that no one class Of industrial
agencies can rival them. Their very
usefulness constitutes a source of dan
ger. ra
In the coming electric railway exists
some counterpoise. The trolley lines
which radiate from or connect so many
considerable cities have already pro-
NOTED dangerous rivalry. But in the
longer competing lines, which will soon
parallel steam roads over long routes,
much bigger fact looms on the hori-
zon. Whether using the trolley or the
third rail, the electric road can be built
and operated at less than half the ex-
pense. It's capitalization needs to be far
less and can be accomplished with far
less friction and trickery. 1t can be
made to traverse sections impossible to
steam roads and follow much
straighter line between points. In the
middle West, in the South and the East
wherever water power especially can
be utilized, these promise to be the
cheapest and most effective lines OF
travel and transportation, except be-
tween far distant places, in so far they
will limit the power and danger OF
steam line corporations.
But they may develop similar evils
as they grow in strength and ambition
This is the curse of success. One thing
should be universally enforced by tn,
proper authorities, to prevent their in
fringement on public or private rights
They should be compelled to pay fol
right of way. Travelled roads should b'
saved from them as far as possible. N,
privileges should be granted withou
fair compensation. BY thus early EN-
phasizing the fact that railways are il
their essential nature servants, and no
masters. an all important lesson will b
taught.

BOY WANTED" MONDAY NIGHT.
One Of the big hits in Charles e.
Blaney's latest play, "A Boy Wanted,
is a clever boxing match between
Harry Clay Blaney and Nellie O'Neil.
1t is really artistic as well as scientific,
as both of these parties are experts
with handling the gloves. This is intro
duced consistently in the play. She is
supposed to be training him for a box
ing match with a well-known fighter,
and Is endeavoring to show him his op-
ponent's weak points. Miss O'Neii
punches the bag in a manner that
would do credit to Champion Fitzsim-
