The days preceding the visit of

entered Damascus In a pathetic conol-
ton. Being stricken with blindness, he
had to be guided to the home of Judas,
located in that long street which leads
through the city and is still called
Straight. There In darkness the fallen
Pharisee waited upon God In prayer,
his soul filled with peace of mind. be-
cause the strain of fighting against the
prickS of conscience was ended. He
did not desire food or sleep, for his
thoughts were surging like disturbed
sea trying to readjust, through secret
communion with the Lord, his views to
the new relationship, that had been
formed by him with God and under
stand the commission given him by the
risen Christ.
Saul who was to become known in
history as Paul, needed human help.
God called Ananias. prominent lay

character, to visit the praying man
Naturally he hcsitated. but when he
learned of his conversion and the pur-

was at the touch of his hand that the
scales fell from Saul's eyes and he saw
the messenger of Christ. whom he had
ignorantly prosecuted, welcoming the
former antagonist of the faith as a
Brother in the Lord. His testimony
confirmed Saul In his conviction that
he had a mission to preach the gospel
TO all men They talked over his mes
sage and from this layman the great
apostle whose ministry was destined to
mold history learned the principles
taught by the Christ, and how that he
would be called upon to suffer In carry

his vision of The risen Christ and His
voice summoning Saul to repentance,
faith and service,
The gift of the Holy Spirit to the new
convert completed his conversion and
Saul sought to be baptized
in obedience to the Divine command.
1t was not an easy thing for Saul to
do. 1t cost the breaking of all the ties
which bound him to his family, friends
and hopes for future advancement as
member of the Sanhedrin. He was
moved by the love of Christ to respond
to the Lords high calling for him to
be an ambassador to the gentiles Saul
did not find warm welcome with the
Christians in Damascus or Jerusalem.
They doubted his conversion until he |
was vouched for by brethren. His old
associates became his enemies He was
loyal to the conviction, that was in |
separable from his conversion. that he
had mission to the gentiles. He was
peculiarly fitted by birth, education and
experience to be Christ's ambassador to
all nations. The cultured, capable and
Saul entered upon his
Christian career. determined to be loyal
to his risen Lord and to preach the
truth stated in the Golden Text--this
is faithful saying and worthy of all
that Christ Jesus came into
the world to save sinners.
