your idea of an education a great

“Bless jour heart, pastor,” said Mary.
“John ig-doing better than that He

will send down his Spirit upon you and
make you like unto his dear Son. Have
you your sacred Arabian deserts or
your regular hours for pleading with
and talking to God as well a* your sa
cred hours of having God talk to you?
Can you think of Paul out in that
desert unless he Is praying? I cannot.
I can no more think of a prayerless
Paul than I can of a prayerless Christ.
While thinking of this matter I had a
strange dream in my study. I thought
It was again the year 88 A. D. I was
again wending my way toward that llt-
but in the Arabian desert which I
ave already described. I was again
g by the side of the dear Apostle
He was expounding the word of
to me. Then suddenly he stops
and 'vays: “I cannot go any further;
wait avhile; I must talk to my friend.”
“Talk to yvur friend?’’ I say. “What
do you meiih? I do not see any one
around. Talk to wYAfe friend ?” “Why,
talk to my friend Jesus Christ!” says
Paul. Then, without any affectation,
Paul drops on his knees and begins to
talk to Christ just as I would talk to
my dear mother if she were alive by
my side. *
In my dream he did thus every little
while as I studied with him that day.
And do you know be prayed so often
that in m^ dream I could feel that
Christ wad just by our side and not a
dead Clrfist, as some of us think. That
nlgtorl went to sleep quite early, for I
s much fatigued. But in tbe middle
tbe night I was awakened. In that
bumble hut I heard again the mighty
voice of Paul praying, praying, pray-
ng. Oh, he seemed to be praying most
oi' the time. Was it a dreaYu? Was not
Paul a praying Paul? As in my dream,
have you a Pauline Arabian desert for
your sacred hour of prayer?
Paal In the Deaert.
But I believe there was still another
reason why Paul disappeared Into the
Arabian desert and stayed there for
three long years. He wanted to study
the word of God. He wanted to get his
heart mellowed and spiritualized by
prayer. Oh, yes; but, more than that,
he wanted to get the hearts of the peo
ple into the condition where they would
be willing to trust him and believe in
his message. In other words, he want
ed his Arabia to be a place where he
could walk hand in hand with Christ.
He wanted It also to be the place of
testing, where men and women would
learn to believe that his profession of
Jesus Christ was sincere.
Is it tn.Jto -wondered at tljat the
Christian people were afraid of Paul?
What the inquisitor Titelmann was to
the Christians of the Netherlands Saul
was to the early Christians. The mere
mention of his name struck them with
consternation. Methlnks we can bear
the poor Christians of Damascus cry
ing when they beard he was coming:
“O God, save us! O Christ, rescue
nil” No sooner did tbe vision appear
to the good Ananias, saying, "Paul is
waiting for thee to bantlze him,” than
tbe good Ananias answered, “Lord, I
have heard by many of this man, bow
orach evil he bath done to thy taints at
to Bethany to meet Mary and Martha
and Lazarus. Come, I want to show
you the gardeu of Gethsemane, where
we all slept, and the palace where I
denied him. Come, and I will show you
where he died and where he was rew r-
rected and where he left us for the last
time.'’ The days slipped into tbe first
week, then into the second, and the fif
teenth day came and still they talked.
Then Paul said. “Well, Peter, I bad
better leave you now and go and work
for my Master. We both love him, Pe
ter. You walked with him in the flesh.
I saw him face to face at Damascus.
May God help me to testify aright for
him.” As Paul went up to Jerusalem
to put himself under the influence of
Peter, the great Christian apostle, are
you and I ready to put ourselves under
the care of the noble Christian men
and women who are around us?
And now conies the practical
tion. Where are the* modern Arabia
deserts? In order to find one do we
have to travel to Damascus, as Paul
did, and Journey to the east? Nay.
We have our Arabian deserts in the
western hemisphere as well as In Asia,
in our lives as Paul had in bis life. I
think that one of our Arablas may be
our sick beds. Hour after hour we may
have to lie in the Invalid’s room. Oh,
how near to God we can then get!
Then another Arabia is when death
comes to some of our dear ones.
“Alone, alone!” we say. “All, all
alone!” We are not alone. We are in
the desert. Then another Arabia is
when persecution or slander comes.
Our best earthly friends may turn
against us, but God never turns if we
call upon his name. Another Arabia
may be. Just after we have been living
over again the past. Even now we
seem to see the dear faces of our de
parted kindred come up. We seem to
again see the day when we first conse
crated our lives to God at the church
altar.
My frieud who described for me that
trip over the desert told me also about
the wonderful mirages. He said they
would be traveling along, when sud
denly ahead of them would be seen a
brook and falling waters and moun
tains and green fields and gardens.
They were all there. He would turn
to his traveling companion and ask:
“Do you see this? Do you see that?”
“Yes,” would be the answer; “I see
them all.” That, of course, was only
a false vision. But here today In the
Arabian desert of Paul l am not show
ing to you a false vision as I ask: “Do
y<ya -see-ytrtir -ohi -W»e?- - Do you see
the family at prayers? Do you see
your father and mother taking you to
church? Do you see the mansions in
heaven? Do you see your loved ones
there to greet you? Do you see your
Heavenly Father beckoning you to
come? Do you see Christ standing by
your side to save you from sin?
you see the cross and the crown?” A.V,
this Is no mirage, no false vision! This
is the Arabian desert wherein Pan! is
communing with Christ and consecrat
ing his life to the Divine Master’s
ice.
