Saul at Damascus, A

Saul at Damascus, Acts 9:1-19.
for Sunday, Oct. 8:
Painting with rage against the
Christians, Saul, the Sanhedrist,
was not content to persecute and
scatter the church in Jerusalem; he
desired to utterly annihilate Chris
tianity. Hearing of the success OF
Christianity at Damascus. $50 miles
distant, he received legal permis-
sion to arrest the Christians at Da--
mascus and bring them to Jeru-
salem.
v. 1. "But Saul, yet breathing
threatening and slaughter against
the disciples of the Lord, went unto
the high priest and asked of him
gogues, that if he found any that
were of the way, whether men or
women, he might bring them bound
to Jerusalem" Saul was a great sin
ner. He called himself chief of sin
ners; great sin calls for great sal
vation. The fact that Saul included
women, shows how Christianity
then and now lifts womanhood.
VS.. 3, 4. "And as he journeyed.
1t came to pass that he drew nigh
unto Damascus; and suddenly there
shone round about him light of
heaven; and he fell upon the earth
and heard voice saying unto him,
Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou
me?" On long journey Saul had
time to think. But it took the voice
of the prosecuted Christ TO lay him
low. there is hope for the penitent.
The fact that Saul joined in the
martyrdom of Stephen was a cause
for the Lords claim of having been
prosecuted. 1t is written "Inasmuch
as We have done it unto one of these,
ye have done it unto me-
VS.. 5, 6. ''And he said, Who art
thou, Lord? And he said, I am
Jesus whom thou persecutest; but
arise and enter the city and it shall
be told thee what thou must do"
The first word to Christian con-
vert is "Rise." Rise from your

Ohio University's Oldest Alumnus

DR.. William Henry Scott, 90, old
est living graduate OF Ohio Uni
versity and former president, re-
Gently celebrated the fiftieth ami
versary of his appointment as presi-
dent of Ohio State University.
DR.. Scott has spent all of his nine
decades in Ohio. Born in Chauncey,
Sept. IA, 1840,s the son Of Alexander
Boutwell, Scott and Susan Rutledge
Scott, he started to school at the
age of four and one-half years, in
McConnelsville. At IL le was in
high school, and at 16 he became a
rural teacher. When 10, he enrolled
in Ohio University, and following
his graduation in 1862, became Ath-
ems school superintendent. In that
position he supervised the grade
classes and taught all high school
subjects. A few months later he
became principal of Ohio Uni
versity's preparatory school.
The next few years were spent in
the Methodist ministry, at Chilli
cothe, from 1865-67, and in Colum-
bus from 1867-69, after which he
returned to Ohio University as pro-
fessor of Greek. In 1872 he became
president of Ohio University, and
professor of philosophy, continuing
in the position until he accepted the
Ohio State presidency in 1883. He
resigned in 1895, to become pro-
fessor of philosophy, retiring in
1910 with the title Of professor
emeritus.
DR.. Scott received his A. M. de-
gree from Ohio University in 1866,
and the degree of LII. D. was con-
ferred upon him by both Ohio Uni
versity and Wesleyan University in
1884.
A few years ago, DR.. Scott was
asked to speak at the dedication of
a grade school building in Colum-
bus. The address was considered so
fine and appropriate that it was
published in placard form, and a
copy was sent to every school in
the United States.-"Green and

the world. 1t has had services in
three floating churches. The first,
built in February, 1874, was desig-
mated as the Church Of Our Saviour
and was noored at the foot of Pike
street. In 1916 the second floating
church, the Church of the Holy
Comforter, was built. At the close
of the year 1869 the third floating
church was completed and was op-
ened for divine service Jan. 9, 1870.
Christmas day, 1910, this last float
ing church brought it's career to a
close. These churches were unique
among the ecclesiastical structures
of the world, and have been heard
of in the remotest islands reached
by commercial traffic.
A national educational campaign
to promote religious and racial toll
erance in American life will be pro-
noted this fall. The drive which is.
intended to promote cooperation
among Catholics, Jews, Gentiles,
will have as one of its features
discussion tour of the country by
priest, rabbi and minister. This
will be the first time in history that
representatives of the three faiths
will appear on the same program.
Newton d. Baker, Roger w. Straus
and Prof. Carlton j. Fl. Hayes are
co-chairmen of the national confer
ence of Jews and Christians, under
whose auspices the campaign will
be waged. So far 800 men from A
states have accepted places on the
council. General Hugh S. Johnson,
first to accept membership on the
advisory committee.

Jim'S Basic Realities

The Republicans are beginning to
emerge from their cyclone cellars
and take up the fight of 1884. Be-
lieving that robust opposition is
good for democracy's soul, we'd
hoped they would. But why, of al
the faithful to blow the opening
blast against the New Deal, need it
have been Jim Watson?
Speaking in Chicago, ex-Senator
Jim called his erring country shs
to the Constitution The depro
sion, he declaimed, should not
permitted to drive us away fr
those basic realities that underlie
our government, the operation OF
which is responsible for the mar
velous growth of this republic ard
that still must constitute the beacon
light to lead us on to grea ter
heights of industry, prosperity and
liberty"
To the lobbying Hoosier states
man, as we remember him, the
"basic realities" were the sales tax,
the Smoot-Hawley tariff, political
prohibitionism and all the odds and
ends that come under the head OF
privilege in government. Far from
serving as beacon light, these
basic realities were just about to
wreck us.
We don't know that the New
Deal will lead us to the promised
land. We do know that the Old
Deal of Jim's day was leading us i'll
the opposite direction.

doubts. Rise from your despair.
Rise from your weakness. Rise from
your sins. Rise! Stand on your

V. 8. "And Saul arose from the
earth; and when his eyes were op-
ened he saw nothing; and they led
him by the hand and brought him
unto Damascus" Here was the be-
ginning of the spiritual vision, for
his eyes were opened, but yet he
was physically blind. In Saul's con-
version, there were others who had
share, for they led him by the
hand. Seldom can credit be given
to only one person for Christian
conversion.
v. 8. "And he was three days
without sight and did neither eat
nor drink The arch prosecutor
was in pitiable spirit Sightless
and foodless he writhed in agony
over his condition But his eyes
were turned heavenward. And God
does not despise the contrite heart.

sin that Saul lost his appetite. Cen
uine conversion depends upon true
contrition.
v. 10. "Now there was certain
disciple at Damascus, named Anan-
las, and the Lord said unto him in
. vision, Ananias. And he said
Behold I am here, Lord" The
Lord works through human
agencies, but he uses only those who
are willing to serve. Ananias be-
came immortal because of the part
he took in Saul's conversion.
v. II. "And the Lord said unto
him, Arise and go to the street
which is called Straight and inquire
in the home of Judas for one nam
ed Saul, a man of Tarsus, for be-
hold he prayeth." For him who
reeds light there is a light bearer.
The penitent must not agonize in
vain. Saul laid bare his inmOst
soul to God and God answers pray
er.

and entered into the house; and lay

peared unto thee on the way which

thou camest, hath sent me, that
thou mayest receive thy sight and
be filled with the Holy Spirit" :"
Ananias had no fear of Saul, the
prosecutor, because the grace of
God had transformed him. The
grace of God lifts to common level
of fellowship.
V. 18. "And straightway there
fell from his eyes as it were scales,
and he received his sight; and he
arose and was baptized" With the
path of duty open, Saul did not
hesitate, but at once accepted bap-
tism into the Christian fellowship;
this allegiance he maintained until
he received a martyrs crown.

u, S. NAVY Will TEST
new RADIO FEATURES
Paper" Plans for Television and
Communications Included in
Building Program.

A number of paper plans for the
use Of television and facsimile radio
communications aboard American men,
of-war are destined for practical test
as q part Of the Nays new 5000. .000. 900
building program already under way.
The program calls for total Of IS new
vessels and is being speeded under the
National Recovery Act.
While utmost secrecy always is main
tanned by the military establishments
in connection with new radio develop
ments, it is known that intensive study
has been given to visual radio as a new
and potentially indispensable arm OF
naval intelligence. A number of fleet
vessels during the last few years have
been equipped experimentally for fac
television communication, or the photo
graphing of actual scenes at sea by
radio, also was tried.
How extensively the Navy intends to
20 into visual radio in its new building
program Is not known. It will be many
months before the bigger vessels of the
new program will be completed, and a
month Is a long time In radio develop
ment. Television apparatus that is new
today with the laboratory more than
likely will be obsolete six months hence.
Hence the type of radio apparatus,
both sound and visual, that goes into the
new warships probably will be one of
the last matters decided before the YES
sels are launched.
The Inflated Navy dirigible Akron
carried experimental facsimile equip
ment for the transmission and recep-
ton Of weather maps and other photo
graphed communications. Presumably
the Macon, sister ship recently
launched, also carries visual radio ap-
raratus, largely for experimentation.
