Sunday School Lesson

story as told to Festus and King
Agrippa II in Acts &c.
What we lack is the background
of the story in the psychological
processes in Paul's soul. Undoubt-
edly there had come to him before
the experience on the way to Da-
maScus some doubt as to his course.
He must have been very greatly
impressed with the evidence of Ste
phen's innocence and Christian
courage. He must have begun to
wonder whether he was right after
all in prosecuting people like Ste
phen.
Thus the seeds of doubt were
planted in his mind, making it pos
Bile for the seeds of the new faith
to lodge there. This is the function
of doubt and inquiry. 1t is only
through some such process of OPEN
mindedness that men can come to
new convictions Of truth. If there be
not such open-mindedness, the way
is closed to conversion.
Lesson for Us
One needhardly emphasize the
fact that it is the sinner who has
been saved from a great deal and
the Pharisee who has been converted
from intensity in the wrong course
that usually become the most zeal
Gus Christians. Paul was not sim
ply arrested in his fanatical and
earnest career; his enthusiasm was
turned into a new direction as he
became pre-eminently a witness for
Christ.
What is the lesson of Paul's con-
version for ourselves? Are we sin
cere and honest? First of all we
ought to settle that question.
Then, being sincere and honest,
are our lives in the right direction?
Do we see truth in forms of love,
gentleness and kindness-the things
that draw us near to our fellow
men in sympathy and understand
ing rather than in the things that
make 4or consciousness and hate
and diyiSivenesS?
1t is always we'll for us to test
truth in terms of love; otherwise
we are sure to go aStray. 1--WE know
that we have passed from death
unto life because we love the breth-
rem"

BY VIM. E. GILROY, ID. d.
Editor of the Congregationallst

TINE conversion of Saul, there
l. after to be known as Paul, re-
minds us that the transformation
of life that comes through the power
of Christ is not confined to gross
and disreputable sinners.
Christianity has shown it's power
to lay hold of ruined and broken
men whose condition the world
would have called hopeless and to
restore them to integrity and honor.
But its triumphs have not been con-
fined to the redemption of the
fallen.
The process of conversion has
been equally manifest and equally
powerful in effecting changes of
mental outlook and spiritual atti-
tude. 1t has taken men of intense
zeal and honesty whose fanaticism
has warped their judgment and
their kindness of heart, and it has
brought such men into new relation
ships with their fellowmen through
new vision of Good and truth.
Honesty of Purpose
Paul is the most conspicuous ex-
ample Of the conversion of the
Pharisee. He eXemplifies to the full
the intense honesty of a man whose
purpose was to be right; yet he had
wandered so far from the true way
that he was guilty of participation
in the murder of Stephen.
1t would seem strange that a man
with such passion to be conscien-
tious could, none the less, go as far
astray as a man who had mani
tested no conscience at all, and yet
the whole history of spiritual ex-
perience is full of such instances.
Much of the trouble arises from
the fact that the form of sincerity
is allowed to count for more than
its foundations and zeal and in
tensity come to be highly regarded
without reference to the direction
in which they are tending.
We should never think Of COM
mending a man for his vigorous
progress toward a certain goal if
he were going in a direction OPP
posite to the goal We should say,
in fact, that the more energy he
displayed the farther he was 60
ing from the right end. Yet in the
world of religion we have too often
thought of the end and the goal as
secondary, and we have commended
the form Of zeal and aggression.
Effecting the Change
It is often harder to effect a
change in the Pharisee than in the
disreputable sinner. The man who
is down and out knows that he
needs help; he is ready to clutch
at anything that may restore him
to honor, truth and self-respect. But
the man who is sure that he is
right can be put right only with
great difficulty if he happens to be
wrong. Usually such a change comes
through some explosive and ire
mendouS experience just as it did
in this case of Paul.
The main facts concerning Pauls
conversion are brought before us
very definitely The story is told
three times in the book of Acts
There is the direct narrative in the
ninth chapter of Acts, there is the
story of the conversion as told in
our lesson in Paul's appeal to the
Jews in the Temple, and there is the

f2IOVE FOR TWO
III &$ c RUTH DEWEY GROVES "eSH @nE2RS5ssrSaa

The Wayville paper had carried
quite a story about it.
A whole column on the front page.
II had made bod feel like a general,
to say the least, in the battlefield Of
business. And now BERTHE Lou spoke
of him as a buck private.
ooh, you're just trying to make
me feel extravaganza and selfish to
smoke-screen your own wild spend
ing" she famed back at him. "And
haven't done anything more than
buy dress could have got along
without if you hadn't tried to make
Rockefeller look like a hop-house
bum"
For Pete's sake don't be bar
nacle and stick forever to one idea, "
Rod begged. Give told you 1 didn't
know what a sucker was making
out of myself when I sprang that
night club racket. Can't you add it
up to experience and call it day?"
BERTHE Lou closed her lip in re-
sentful silence. 1t was certainly
unfair of Rod to try to make her
appear as a nagging fault finder
when she really had something to
complain about, she thought Bit
terly.
And that at won't cost you any,
thing" smarted her sensitive pride.
1t was a reminder that Rods money
was his own. And BERTHE Lou had
nourished the thought that their
marriage would be one of those
ffty-fifty affairs in every way.
She drew away from him and
sat stiffly upright in the far corner
of the cab. 1t was the first time
since their marriage that Rod had
said anything to hurt her.
Hurt her, that is, in the way you
are hurt when a cherished illusion
is suddenly destroyed. BERTHE Lou
had not believed she never would
quarrel with Rod, but she had
hoped they could at least postpone
the inevitable for long, long time.
And here they were, just a few
months after their wedding day,
the minister's words still fresh in
their memories, saying bitter
things to each other. The sensa-
ton that came to BERTHE Lou was
new to her.
Her throat became tight and
painful and a strange feeling as of
warm flood released in the region
of her heart caused her real physi-
cal anguish. 1t was as though her
heart had burst. Perhaps she was
going to die of heart trouble!
1t would serve Rod right. After
she'd got him out of a pretty mess,
too. Scared to death because he
hadn't enough money to pay that
check.
His ingratitude bit deep and
achingly into BERTHE LOUIS soul. But
the thing that went deeper still was
Rods going to sleep on their quar-
rel. Actually falling asleep, while
BERTHE Lou blinked her eyes fast in
the dark and wondered if he really
loved her after ALL

Something had to be done about
it. Plainly, Rod hadn't yet formu-
lated an idea. whats the matter?"
BERTHE Lou said, and leaned over
the table to reach for the check
which he had dropped. He tried to
stop her from her purpose, but she
had it.
One quick glance at its terrifying
contents and she laughed, ripping
little expression of CONSERVATION.
"Oh DEAR" she said, II forgot to
give you the money got from the
bank today, didn't I? I'm sorry,
honey, because now you'll have to
ask Tom to lend you some"
Mr.. Loree tore his gaze away
from Lila'S pretty, eager counte-
nance and looked across at BERTHE
Lou. Her voice had been distinct.
Let me in on this" he pleaded
I'D rather like to make it my party

laughed. Let me have a fifty,

Tom dug out the amount and
added five for half the tip. Leave
ten," he suggested, half fearing that
Rod would probably underestimate
the Importance Of generously salts
flying the waiter.
Chances were he wouldn't know
the amount expected to make him
contented. AS a matter of fact SO
was the minimum for a hundred plus
check.
Surreptitiously Tom took care of
the captain. Rod might never come
again, but he was sure he would.
Liked the place. And good tables
weren't to be held for "tightwads. -
BERTHE Lou was pleased when they
reached the street to learn that Mr..
Loree had his car there and would
drive Lila home. There was room
for two more, he said, looking ques-
tioningly at them.
Molly jumped at the chance. The
car was sumptuous cabriolet, an
odd car for a mans use. Its rear
seat would accommodate two and
there were two drop seats.
BERTHE Lou was perfectly willing
to GO home alone with Rod in a
taxicab. AS a matter of fact she
had been cropping about in her mind
the last five minutes for a plausible
reason to avoid going to the Fraser
apartment. Tom had said something
about bacon and eggs, but the
thought of food sickened her.
Lila could have choked Molly for
her impetuous acceptance of Mr..
Loree's courtesy.
At least she might have had sense
enough to realize that he offered
them room in his car merely as a
gesture born Of good breeding, she
thought angrily.
AS Loree's car drove off and Rod
turned to look for taXicab BERTHE
Louis mask of sociability fell of.
She hadn't approved of the party
in the first place. Rod was well
aware of that even If she hadn't

Now creepy jungle syncopation
came throbbing through the room
in a slow crescendo. The girl in
the snakeskin swayed almost imper-
ceptibly, little more, then dizzily,
and finally threw herself into a
series of amazing contortions that
left the onlookers breathlesS with
fear that she might break into
pieces.
At last she was down on the floor,
wriggling over strip Of green car
pet toward the curtained exit. AS
her homeless body slid from sight
storm of applause burst out, so
loud that it drowned even the howl
ing saxophones.
But the girl did not respond to
an encore. She was stretched out
on table, under expert hands,
tears of pain in her eyes. God,
that double twist is awful" she
moaned.
"How about some chicken salad
and a iquidator?" Mr.. Loree sug-
gested, all memory of the clubs
supper gone from him. Lila said
she'd rather have lobster.
Whats the use of ordering
food?" Tom grumbled "You SAL
it and then get up to dance and
that's the last you see of it. unless
you order the same thing over
again"
BERTHE Lou said nothing. She
wasn't hungry, but this was Rods
party. She couldn't veto a second
supper If the others wanted it. But
she was beginning to suspect that
this sort of entertainment would
cost more than they'd bargained
for.
After all, however, even if Mr.
Loree had added to their expense
he had won her undying gratitude
for turning Lila'S attention from
Rod. That was worth something.
When, along toward morning
Rod asked for the check he got the
shock of his lifetime. One hundred
and sixteen dollars! Whew! And
he had about seventy in his pockets
Mr.. Loree was too used to money
even to think of offering to pay for
