son whose name had been a terror to
every christian We will not try to
picture the scene as he entered the
room with Saul and called his broth.
err and told him that the very Jesus
whom he had met on the way had sent
him to restore his sight and give him
the gift OF the Holy Ghost.
From that day onward the unusual
energies which had characterized the
opposition OF Saul to Jesus and His re.
lision were put into operation to praise
Him and extend the number Of those
believing on His name. There was,
however, an interval of preparation,
which is thought to have been spent
apart from the usual activities of life.
II is perhaps needless to say here
that from the time of his conversion,
the former Saul was known as Paul,
and will hereafter be spoken OF by
that name Paul set an example OF
telling often as to his manner of con-
version. This by q full accounting and
by reference. After relating 1t to King
Agrippa as just set forth in this article
Paul made this important declarations:
II was not dis0bedient to the heavenly
vision" Here was one Of the keys to
the character of the great man. When
convinced that certain line Of con-
duct was right he did not fail to follow
it. Not reader of these notes but
who has many times made good resO-
lutions" only to break them. 1t takes
iirmness Of will. determination to set
at naught obstacles, and do with dill.
gence what has before been vOided
or neglected. At one time Paul said,
This thing | d." when speaking of
his set determination to be chris
tian. and preach the gospel.
Every christian. like PAUL should
ask, What will you have me to dO?"
The answer can be gained right in the
bible and there ask all to look. Men
and women of experience in the chris
tian way can give advice, but the words
of Jesus reinforced by the teachings
of Paul make the highest authority for
true christian living. Again every
adult christian has many times before
conversion and since set up standards
OF what the true christian ought to be.
Such it will be pretty safe to live up
to In ones own life. y
While we always think Of the
change In the life OF Paul as wonderful
yet such conversions are going on
every day. They were seen in Deni.
son at the recent revival meetings in
striking manner, but are not confined,
however, to such special SEASONS. II
does require, however, something
out Of the ordinary to change the life
current Of some men and women. We
often hear special revival meetings
ridiculed, but such are needed to con-
centrate thought on the things of
eternity and away from the usual
things of life. As the lessons progress
let us all consider we'll the career oil
Paul as christian and be guided byi
him. for we know he made q great sue.
cess of christian living.

guarded eye on them. suspicious OF
some counter.move, Rhinelander and
Storm accompanied Lyons and Helen
into the station.
Seagrue's men. crowding after their
triumphant foreman, gave the laugh
to the Tidewater gang. who stood with
their hands in their pockets. and
started after the ties.
Inside the office q perpleIed and
disgruntled group gathered around
Helen. She showed the dispatcher's
message to the conductor. Seagrue.

watch the proceedings and demanded
to know again Of the puzzled conduc-
tor whether the ties were not plainly
enough for. him. In the face of the
conflicting evidence the conductor did
not know what to decide. Fight it
out yourselves, boys! give it up"
was all that could be got out OF him.
And Seagrue, declaring he would I'm
load the ties anyway. left the office.
Once outside. he again spurred De-
laney to haste.
Storm followed Seagrue from the
ONCE and once outside and away from
Helen he protested vigorously. Rhine
lander, behind him, told Storm to keep
cool. At that moment Delaney, break
ing in, almost precipitated q riot. Get
out of this thing" he beloved at
Storm, land keep out! Do. you get
that? You're talking too much"
With the words, he pushed Storm
back. 1t was the wrong moment to lay
hands on the stalwart young engine
man, now greatly wrought up. His
arm shot out and his fist caught De-
laney on the jaw. The big foreman
staggered.
Seagrue, glad enough to find himself
outside the center Of the brawl, walked
away only to encounter Spike as the
latter, dashing In from the highway.

beckoned Seaerue to him.

lSeagrue:

iRhineiander wears for two that suit
Seaorue.

BILE in this place, mister" Spike asked
the agent.
He hardly waited to hear the answer
given him before he was on his way
out of the Office. And without losing
q minute he got q horse where he
had been directed for ons and rode
hastily away on it.
Helen, q few moments later. took
Spikes message to Seagrus. When
she handed it to Lyons he said he
would deliver it. Placing the dupli-
cate on file. Helen resumed her GRO.
Chef work.
Passing the Tidewater camp. Lyons
saw Rhinelander, Storm and Wood in
conference over unloading the expect
ed ties.
"You don't need me over at the sta.
tion," said Wood to Rhinelander. I'll
send Storm with the men to look after
the unloading. I'll stay here with
these lazy graders"
Seagrue himself took the message
from Lyons. He read 1t with secret
satisfaction. The moment Lyons had
left, Seagrue called Delaney, his fore
man, told him to get the gang together
to unload four cars Of ties the instant
the local freight pulled in.
But in the interval the Tidewater
camp leaders, Rhinelander and Storm.
were not losing any time in looking
after the shipment themselves, and
they appeared together at the station
to get track Of it. Lyons, in response
to Rhinelander's inquiries. said he did
not know what the local freight was
carrying.
"You find out, will you, Helen?"
asked Rhinelander. And as he made
the request he showed her his letter
advising him the ties would be on the
local.

While Rhinelsnder. Storm. Helen

tered the ONCE. Seagrue seemed at
his best. very affable and friendly with

quiries and Rhinelander, 0verhearing,
explained that the s:es coming in on
the local freight train that morning
were for the Tidewater work, not for
Seagrue. Seagrue declared him mis-.
taken. A dispute fared up, which in a
moment involved practically every.
body in the room. OF these. the op.
position bosses for the unloading jobs,
Delaney and Storm, became the most
heated and seemed about to come to
blows. But Rhfnelander, checking
Storms indignation. advised restraint
and referred the whole thing to Helen,
asking her to find the real fact out
from the dispatcher. Helen sent q
hurry-up message and the answer
came from the dispatcher's Office with.
In q few minutes:
"loeaI will set out four cars ties At

Lyons, without comment, passed the
message to Rhinelander, who read it
and showed it triumphantly to Sea-

dissent Il don't care what those

"Those ties are for me and you'll find

Fast words followed. Storm and De.
laney again eyed each other fiercely.
Then the sound of freight train pull
ing in started everybody in the room
out for the platform. The moment the
train stopped the disputants crowded
forward, each side eager to reach the
conductor first. The conductor, man
of peace, listened unmoved to the vic.
lent contentious addressed to him. At
length he produced the waybills for
the property in dispute. Seagrue got
hold of them first. To his delight he
saw that, as expected. they read to

Some moments later the hind-end

a tramp in the door of . box car. The
brakeman started forward to investi-

name of Seagrue.
One after another of the billing cards

lated in the same way. In the mean
time the two brakemen, one Of whom
had caught O glimpse of him, were
consulting as to how to get him. But
by the time they had made their plans
and were ready for a forcible laying
on of hands Spikes work was done.
Watching the trafnmen walk forward,
he dropped lightly from the last car
and waiting for the caboose, which
was empty. swung up by the hand rail
and went inside the car. He grabbed
the waybills from the rack box and ex-
amined them. Finding those for the
cars Of ties, he carefully erased Rhine
lander's name from each of them and
taking his time inserted Seagrue's.
Having done what struck him as an
artistic job on these, he replaced the
bills and climbing into the cupola
looked outside.
It was then by good fortune that the
conductor and one of the two brake
men spotted him. To get back quick
they tagged the engineer-the train

April 2-Thc Conversion OF Saul
Acts ., 1-3l.
We have for our lesson this week a
most important event in the life OF a
most wonderful man. 1t is an account
of something which changed the life
work OF one of the great men of his
tory. 1t is nothing less than the con-
ton to the gospel OF Jesus. to one Of
most strenuous approval. Those who
have kept in touch with the history Of
the days just after the death Of Jesus
know that the most fierce opponent Of
His claims as the promised Messiah
was one Saul of Tarsus. Having
played havoc with the christians in
Jerusalem he thirsted for more work
of this kind to do, and so asked leave
OF the Jewish authorities to go to the
great city of Damascus and there root
out all followers of Jesus.
1t was while toiling over the road to
that city that Saul came to know Jesus
personally. He claimed that when
near the city there was q light about
him brighter than the noon day and
that he heard a voice asking why he
persisted in opposing Him. The:trav.
eler asked who was thus persecuated
and the reply came II. Jesus" The
opposition of Saul stopped right there.
and he asked what he should do. He
was told t0 go into the city and there
1t would be told him. Saul found he
was blind and had to be led. r.
