This power is supreme and above all other powers, bringing order out of chaos wherever it touches. At the time Jesus lived on earth history shows us that virtues were a ::ckery. Conditions were terrible, in t we have no idea of the wickedness and consequent sufferings endured by those carly people. This was when Christ came to apply the thin edgo of wedge. So great was the need of Him that they killed His physical body in their ignorance of right thinking. He found it necessary to die in order to ghow them the importance of each inâ€" dividual actually living the principles O6f love, truth, kindness and all virtues $ven unto death, the development of Wwhich brings us into everlasting life whore moth nor rust does not corrupt. Atheism and Light From time immemorial electricity has beon with us, around us, in the air we breathe. Yet we groped along in the darkness for acons of centuries knowâ€" ing practically nothing of it There came a tims when prophets foretold its coming but tew hbelieved the prophecy until, believing it or not, when the time came that the thin edge of the wedge was applied by the slow proâ€" cess of scientific research, darkness guddenly opened up into a flood of light and power hitherto undreamed Of. The great power was here which could destroy as ruthlessly as it could beich out light and energy. Yet all at once it was harnessed in so safely by Skilled human hands that we use it now without fear, taking it as a matâ€" ter of course, even though most of us know little more about it than to turn on the switch. But we must have some appliance inâ€" stalled in our homes it we wish to use it and benofit by it, and we must touch the button to secure the power in orâ€" der to connect up and benefit by it. This groatest man of all men told us it was necessary for the Father to «end His Son, to come to this world in order to teach us how to build up this spiritual machinery for ourselves which will give us the eternal life of light He has shown us that we are going through the process of being born Again; we have come up through the lnfinite ages; passed through darkâ€" hess, ignorance, violence and materialâ€" ization and can now see the glimmerâ€" ings of a great light ahead.

Rover looked at her and took a litâ€" tle step, then stopped, then another, and she kept saying "Come on in. It‘s all right." _ Then he looked warily around and took another few steps. "She won‘t hurt you, Rover." But Rover didn‘t know whether to believe it or not. All at once he was going to back out pretty quick, for thore was Fluffy sitting on the cushion on her chair. But would you believe it, she just ‘ooked good naturedly at him as though she had nover done anyâ€" thing to him at all. Earthqua«es, Samine, sorrow, death are as nothing if they bring us into the eternity of Divine Love. Twilight Hour Story Chicks and Other Little Friends No. 31 Last week I told you about Fluffy beâ€" ing so cross at Rover because he came into the same room where Mamma Lady and Billy had brought her little kitties, She was so cross she scratchâ€" ed bhim, then jumped on his back and scratched some more so he didn‘t know what ever could be the matter, for you know he came in the room all right, but he didn‘t have a chance to even soo the kitties, so he hadn‘t the slightest idea what all the fuss was about‘. Wasn‘t that funny? You know I beâ€" lievo there are a lot of people like that. They get so very cross about someâ€" thing then forget all about it, and they want us to forget all about their crossâ€" ness too, which isn‘t so easy to do sometimes, is it? But I guess it‘s just thoir way, so it really is best to forâ€" get. You see Fluffy forgot all about it because her kitties were away off in a dark closet now and she liked Rover again, so that when he saw her she was a nico kitty again, and wasn‘t Rover a good dog, for he was soon good friends with her, although often he looked at her queerly, as much as But whatever are the chicks doing all this time? After he got chased out like that he wouldn‘t come in for a long time. It was a little while before Mamma Lady noticed Rover didn‘t come in the house. It was really Billy who noâ€" ticed it first. He said, "Say, Mamma, do you know Rover won‘t come in the house* I wonder why?" You see, Rover wasn‘t a coward if he kneow what was the matter, but he didn‘t know why Fluffy jumped on him like that, so he thought he would just stay away. Well, just as he was trying to get away Mamma Lady came out and was extra nice to him. Come in, Rover, Fluffy won‘t hurt you, now come on, it‘s all right, come on in," and she opened the door so he could see it really was all right. to say, "Why did you scratch me?" Perhaps he‘ll know‘ when he sees the kitties when they are bigger. Popular songs are often so popular that they become unpopular. Then Mamma Lady remembored and said, "I believe he thinks it isn‘t very safe for him in here. I never thought of that. We‘ll have to coax him in." So Billy ran out and called him and whoen he got near the door he was goâ€" ing to disappear again but Billy caught him by the collar and hugged him and said, "Oh, come on in Rover, nothing will hurt you."

Not only the words of Ananâ€" iag‘ vision (22: 14, 15), but his own nature made action of some kind inâ€" evitable. He returned to Damaseus and began to preach controversiallv, 9: 22. Not yet, refined through sufâ€" fering, mellowed and enriched by love, really true that in harrying the beâ€" lievers he had been persscuting the Lord himself? "Who art thou, Sir?" he asked. He did not recognize the voice. The Authorized Version with "Lord" suggests that he did. The answer brought to Saul the transâ€" forming conviction that Jesus was, as his followers had claimed, the true revelation of God. _ e x Oy (c) The Result. Saul immediately placed Christ in complete control of his life, 9: 6. Broucht to a believer‘s house in Damascus, he remained there three days, blind physically and spiritâ€" ually, overwhelmed at the collanse of his past life and dark as to the future. Ananias, divinely promnted, found him and showed him that all that had hapâ€" pened was God calling him to his serâ€" vice. Saul, now healed in body and spirit (9: 17), was baptized, and thus admitted to the fellowship of the beâ€" lievers. III. SAUL PREACHING, Acts 9: 19bâ€"31; 22: 17â€"21. After some days spent with the disciples, in Damascus, Saul retired "into Arabia‘" (Gal. 1: 17), probably some quict viage near Damascus where, in seclusion, he could ponder (a) The Preparation. On the lonely road to Damascus, six or eight days‘ journey from Jerusalem, Saui would have time for reflection. By this time he was discovering that the Law was not an adequate religion, Romans, chapter 7. Failingin his quest for God, he was steadily sinking into pessimism. ‘The memory was always haunting him of Stephen dying with the face of an angelâ€"and with a prayer of forgiveness on his lips, The joyful couraze cf the men whom he was persecuting, their lives for each other, the calm confidencs which told of an inner peace must have been undermining his old assarance. His troubled mind was working up to thke crisis which he was soon to e>periâ€" ence. (b) The Crisis. As Saul and his men were approaching the city a blinding light suddenly burst upon them, the shock of which threw them to the ground, Chap. 9: 3. Sanl heard a voice saving, "Saul, Saul, why nerâ€" secutest thou me?" Was it, then, August 9. Lesson Viâ€"Saul Convertâ€" ed and Commissionedâ€"Acts 9: 1â€"9, 17.19; 1 Timothy 1: 12â€"14. Golden Textâ€"1 was not disobsdient unto the heavenly visionâ€"Acts 26: 19. The gentle and tolerant spirt of Gaâ€" maliel (Acts 5: 34), was not shared by his brilliant pupjl. Saul was an ardent student of the Law. When reâ€" ligion becomes a matter of law and doctrines, intolerance is the result. So it was with Saul. 1. SAUL, PHARISEE AND PERSECUTOR, Acts 9: 1, 2; 22: 3â€"5. (a) The Pharisee. Savl‘s family, although living in a Greek city, were of pure Jewish descent, and Phariseas. They also enjoyed the privilege of Roman citizenship, conferred upon them probably for some service to the emperor. According to Jewish custom, the boy was taught a trade, tentâ€"making, Acts 18: 3. In the uniâ€" versity city of Tarsus he would acâ€" quire a knowledge of Greek customs, literature and philosophy. His edaâ€" cation in Tarsus completed, he was sent south to Jerusalem to study under a famous theological professor named Gamaliel. (b) The Persecutor. When, after Stephen‘s death, the authorities took measures against his followers, Saul threw himself into the work of reâ€" pression. Not content with his efforts in Jerusalem, he secured authority to go to Damascus, where the Jewish colony had evidently been influenced by the new faith.

His bold preaching aroused antagonism. ‘‘he "brethren," fearing persecution, brought him down to Czsarea and sent him home to Tarsus. IV. PAUL, LOOKING BACK, Galatians 1: 11}17; 1 Timothy 1: 12â€"17.

Washington.â€"A neverâ€"ending gas atâ€" tack from the exhausts of automobiles is taking heavyy tolt among English sparrows and pigeons, says Austin H. Clark, biologist of the United States National Museum. These two birds, which formerly were common in the cities of Eastern United States, have been disappearing rapidly. They feed largely on stroet rofuse, which brings them into contact with carbon monoxide gas from motor exâ€" hausts. It is a heavy gas that tends to cling to the ground when there is no wind.

By BUD FISHER Fear is, so to speak, the direct oppoâ€" site of faith, and faith is perhaps the strongest and most effective mentalâ€" spiritual force that we can possess or grow.â€"Ralph Waldo Trine. Argentine . Grain Fear is a most expensive guest to entertain, the same as worry is: so expensive are ithey that no one can afford to entertain them. We invite wha we fear, the same as, by a differâ€" ent attitude of mind, we invite and attract the influences and conditions we desire. The mind dominated by fear opens the door for entrance of the very things, for the actualization uf the very conditicns it fears. enemies, Clark explains. This is because birds live "at high speed." Their bodies transform oxyâ€" gen into heat much more rapidly than buman bodies. English sparrows were imported from Europe before the days of modâ€" ern sprays and insecticides, to eat the canker worms that were infesting the American eim trees. They accomplished their purpose but aroused complaints among bird lovers because they drove away other birds from birdhouses and feeding places. The Chamber of Deputies and the departmental and communal elective bodies are, they maintain, composed too largely of the representatives of minorities because the other fellows shirked their duty at the polis. They must have plenty of oxygen at all times. Anything such as gas that tends to block the oxygen supply from their lungs has a bad effect almost at once. . _ Aim of Bill in France Paris.â€"A law compelling atl French citizens to vote, under penalty of fines, has been proposed by a group of conservative members of Parliament. Voting, they declare in the bill they have laid before the Chamber of Deâ€" putios, is a duty and not a mere priâ€" vilege. Fear and lack of faith go hand in hand. The one is born of the other.

The name "Cabinet" given to the committee responsible for the govâ€" ernment of the country, comes from the days of Charles II., whon a few of his leading ministers used to meet in his own private room, or cabinet, says Mrs. Hughes. This unseemly quarrel ended in Canterbury receiving the . title of "Primate of all England," while poor York had to be content with being "Primate of England." Few people are aware of the disâ€" tinction between the Archbishop of Canterbury as "Primate of all Engâ€" land," and the Archbishop of York as "Primate of England," and fewer still are aware of the occasion for it, observes Mrs. M.
