sy," he said, 80 worship 'ie
God of my fathers. :"
The revolutionizing experience VI
his conversion on the way 10 "a
mascus became an evolutionary
experience as Paul linked his
christian faith with the prophetic
truth and light of the Old Tesla
nent. His passion now was to lead
others into the way that he had
found, just as in his blind zeal
he had hitherto done all in his
power to keep others out OF the
way.
It is a great and rich experience
when ones views and ones faith
become enlarged. Sometimes it
seems that nothing is sure when
one discovers that what one has
believed isn't adequate, or isn't
everything; but then comes the
happy light in the realization that
all that one has loved and cher
ished is enriched, enlarged, and
strengthened in the apprehension
of new ideas and new revelations.
That is part of what it means
to grow in grace. i"
What sort of preacher was Paul?
We don't know. He has himself
suggested that his presence was
weak, and that he was not elo.
quent. The one thing that is GER
tain is that he was effective. And
every preacher is effective if he
sticks closely to telling what Chris
means to him, and is persistent
about it.
It is remarkable what great
tasks have been accomplished by
men and women who were slow
of speech, and sometimes unpre
possessing in presence. Their pow
er lay in indefatigable energy, anc
in the persistency and tenacitJ
with which they never let go. Thel
cause and their purpose domlnat
ed them.
Paul had such people and such
experiences in mind when he spoke
of God as choosing the weak tt
confeund the mighty.

Text: Acts 1880; 1928, rs


Text: Acts 1880; 11:25, rs
Paul was a born propagandist.
Whatever he believed, he believed
with intensity and with the power
of his whole being. That is as it
ought to be. Propaganda is right
and proper thing if it is devoted
to noble ends. The kind of prop
uganda that we rightly resent is
the sham propaganda that by some
sort of subterfuge tries to get
something across while processing
to do something else.
Paul, in his pre-Christian days,
was narrow propaganda. His
minds was closed to the fact thai
men who differed from him might
be right. He was honest, and zeal
Gus; but he was a prosecutor, be-
cause he had not learned that a
truly honest and right minded
propaganda must be as willing
to let others propaganda their
opinions.
When Paul became a Christian
he continued to be as Jealous and
earnest a propaganda as before
but his heart now was filled with
love. -. ,'
AS 1 have remarked before, Paul
in his prosecuting zeal was as I'm
true to the highest teaching OF Jul
daism as to the ways and teach
ings of Christianity. The Old Test
ament that he knew and loved
ought to have taught him a better
way. But he did learn the better
way, and he came to see how thai
better way was enshrined in the
religion of his childhood and youth
when he came to know Christ
AFTER the way that they call here

Reiterates Dam Opposition

The National Parks Association
with headquarters at 1914 Sixteenth

Executive Committee has reiterated
its opposition to construction of pro-

on the Potomac River.
The resolution adopted recently

care of by true f1ood-control dams
further upstream"
The resolution also said that "the

tomac gorge and adjacent shores,
including the Chesapeake g. Ohio
Canal now managed for recreational
purposes by the National Capital
Parks, should not be marred."

Shift 10 Token Fares
Many Take Advantage
Of ; for rs Cents Sole

Weekly reports filed by the Capt.
tai Transit Co. with the Public Utili-
ties Commission since tokens went
on sale at the rate of three for 25
cents approximately year ago, bear
out opinions expressed by PUG mem
bers that the new rate would shift

ending January % of this year, how
ever, the number of cash passengers
was 840,661 and token passengers,
1,9l0,291.
In terms of percentage, the figures
show that over the period of the
year, passengers paying the 1O-cent
fare have dropped 40 per cent, while
those purchasing tokens increased "a
per cent.
including the sale of weekly passes,
passenger revenue for the last week
of January, l943, amounted to s544,-
1855, and dropped to s515,474 last
week. a decline of $28,892 or 5 1-3
per cent. The average fare was 704
