SMALL HINGES
FOR BIC EVENTS
Rev. 7. J. Parsons Compares
Great Incidents in History
With SauI'S Vision.

Sometimes the greateStS events
turn on very small hinges. as was the
case when Napoleon. seated in Notre
Dame cathedral on a quiet Easter
SUNDAY. decided TO offer TO the
United states government the pur-
chase Of the French territory OF Lou
isisna. II was so on certain day IN
SYRIA, when the most virulent enemy
az the infant church OF Jesus Christ
was arrested by q heavenly vision amt
began work which has left him
without a peer IS a champion Of mil
liant Christianity, said Rev. 7. ).
Parsons. pastor Of the Quincy Street
Baptist church sunday morning in
his address on the theme The
Heavenly Vision" He took his text
from the stirring passage Of the apos-
tie when making his defense before
King Agrippa, 'Whereupon. O King
Agrippa. ] was not disObedient unto
the heavenly vision"
In speaking further on the subject
Rev. Parsons said
The pivotal moment in any hu-
man life is when one meets Jesus
Christ i brings a person 70 the
cross roads Of eternity: he can never
be the same again. II is the pivot on
" hich the soul swings out into the
far reaches Of eternity. For illuStra-
ton. one has but to contrast saul Of
Tarsus before and after that vision.

is the greatest triumph Of Christian
ity and the hardest nut for unDeliev-
ers 70 crack. Given a transformed

OF Christ 10 conquer the greatest
enemy. save the blacklist sinner. and

own account Of the vision. He calls
it a hevenly vision. and numbers 1t

hesitated TO become obedient TO it's
call, no matter how uncOmpromiSing
wore the demands We might say
Saul was the ideal convert. He had
n real experience which nothing
could lead him 10 question; and from
which ne never backslid. Compare
sons here are odious. for when we
COMPARE ourselves with him we blush
with shame.
The heavenly vision was a vision
of surrender. Lord, what wilt ThOH
have me do?' His surrender TO Jesus
was absolute. II we remember who
and what he vas and what becoming
a Christian demanded Of him, we
will be astonished both at the divine
audaCity which attempts the capture
Of such an enemy. and the grand ca
pitulation and whOle-souled surren-
der Of tho mar who yielded TO e

is the first requisite in the Christian
life"
