TEXT—Now when they saw the hold-
ne.gs of Peter and John, and perceived
that they were unle:;rned and ignorant
men, they marveled; and they took
knowledge of them, that they had been
with Jesus.—Acts 4:13.
One of the outstanding miracles of
the world's history is the success of
the early church.
Speaking fro m
the standpoint of
li u in a n reason,
everything w a s
against its
growth and ex
pansion. Jesus,
the founder, be
longed to a de
spised race. The
Jews were held
in contempt by
the proud and
powerful Roman
empire. M e a s-
ir.vd by human standards of success,
the organization was a complete fail
ure. Jesus Christ gathered around
Him a group of ignorant and un
learned men, and taught them by pre
cept and example for three years.
History tells us that by the end of
the Third century the church was
composed of eight millions of men,
at that time one-fifteenth of the en
tire population of the Roman empire.'
There was something strange about
I’eter and John that drew the nttenr
tion of the outside world. In studying
these lives that caused the people te
marvel, we find the following elements
that made for success:
1. Their Earnestnecs.
The men were earnest in the proc
lamation of the risen Redeemer. They
were ever ready not only to tell of
rlie death of the Savior, but also of
His resurrection. The fact of a risen
I.ord gave to those men the enthusi
asm that changed them from ordinary
men to the world’s greatest heroes.
Their faith in the resurrection en
abled them to bring to a sin-sick em
pire such help as could not he had
from any Roman gods. Not only did
they change the faitli of the com
mon people, hut also that of the offi
cialdom of Rome, The glittering eagle
was replaced by the (Toss of Christ.
Success in preaching and teaching (Us
in the direction of rightly appropriat
ing tiie great fundamentals of Chris
tianity for ourselves and our people.
2.. Their Surrendered Lives.
They counted not their lives dear
unto themselves. This caused the peo
ple to marvel and they could not hut
feel that the lives of these men were
surrendered to their Master. No s.ic-
ritic was too great, no wilderness too
dark, no journey too long, and no em
pire so fallen but they were willing
to carry the banner of King Imman
uel into the camp of the enemy. Mis
sionary fields have been purchased
for us through sacrifices, even unto
blood. The highest names of mission
ary history are of those who suffered
most. We are called to make real
sacrifices if wo would follow in the
train of the martyrs.
A picture hangs on the walls of the
Moody Bible institute that often lie-
homes an inspiration to many of us—
that of William Borden. He re- j
uotinced social, financial and political
position to become a humble follower
of the Cross. His inherited million
did not swerve him from surrender to
Christ. He started for the mission
field in China, but died in Egypt be
fore reaching his chosen field. The
Apostle Paul tells us there are three
stages in the surrendered life: (1)
“That I may know Him.” (2) “And
the power of llis resurrection.” (“)
“And the fellowship of His sufferings.”
In a letter that a Japanese mother
wrote to her son, she reminded him
of Ids duty in surrendering Ids life, if
need be, for victory. She said, “I was
sorry to hear you did not join the
battle at Yellow Seas. My dearest
wish for you is that you may die for
your country. Remember, if you do
not brave this fight and die, it will
bring disgrace on your family.”
Shall we show less of love for His
kingdom than this soldier’s mother for
her country? Is the shadow of the
Cross upon the ambitions of your life?
is it on your tlocks and herds? Is it
on your hank account?
3. The Prayer Life.
The early church knew how to pray
Jesus said unto His followers, “Tarry
ye in the city of Jerusalem until ye lx*
endued with power.” The result ot
their tarrying proved a mighty bless
ing. There came a sound as of a
rushing mighty wind, and the power
of the Holy Spirit came upon them
all. The gospel spread in Europe unto
almost the whole known world knew
of Jesus. Prayer brings resu'ts
Prayer breaks down the barriers in
the path of duty, and gives victory. A
hymn writer puts to us the pointed
question, "Can others see Jesus in
you?”
The harvest is plenteous, the field>
they are white,
Alas! for the laborers are few
Tis far better not to profess Jesus
name.
If the world cannot see Him in you
4. The Clean Life.
Peter and John were men whose
lives were clean. They were clean in
tlieir thinking, and in their Christian
living. Cleanliness contributes to
power. These men were beyond re
proach in their live?. False accusa
tions were brought against them, hut
not once do we find them charged
with an impure act.
If we are to be successful as was
the early church, let us be earnest
surrendered, prayerful, and clean.

Lesson for July 15
THE CONVERSION OF SAUL
LESSON TtlXT—Acts 9:1-9, 22:8-16.
GOLDEN TEXT—This is a faithful
saying and worthy of all acceptation,
that Christ Jesus came into the world
to save sinners.
PUIA1AKY TOPIC—Saul Becomes a
Christia n.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Saul Becomes a
Christian.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—How Saul Became a Christian.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—The Conversion of a Pharisee.
I. Saul's Violent Hatred of the
Lord’s Disciples (vv. 1, 2).
Saui knew full well that unless the
movement set on loot by Jesus was
stopped it would supersede Judaism.
He was ignorant of the genius ot
Christianity, lie did not know that
ihe “blood ot martyrs is the seed of
the church.” Prosperity may ruin the
church, hut persecution, never. The
noble display of faith by Stephen in
sealing his testimony witli his blood
did not soften Saul’s spirit, but rather
intensified his hatred for Jesus and
His disciples. The intensity of his
madness, and the extent of its oper
ations are best set forth in his own
words, “And 1 persecuted this way un
to the death, binding and delivering
into prisons both men and women”
(Acts 22:-!). “I both shut up many of
the saints in prisons, having received
authority from the chief priests, and
when they were put to death, 1 gave
my voice against them, and punish
ing them oft in all the synagogues I
strove to make them blaspheme, and
being exceedingly mad against them.
I -persecuted them even unto foreign
cities” (Acts 20:10-12. R. V.).
II. Saul Kicking Against the Pricks
(vv. 3-9).
The figure here is that of the east
ern ox driver following the ox with
a sharp iron fixed to tiie end of a
po!e. The animal is prodded with this
insirument and if it is refractory ii
kicks against (lie sharp iron and in
jures itself.
K A light from Heaven (vv. 3, 4a).
The time had come for the Lord to
interfere. Saul was stricken with
blindness and fell to the earth. This
physical demonstration accentuated
the workings of his conscience which
doubtless were going on quickened by
tiie Holy Spirit as He used Stephens
testimony.
2. A voice from Heaven (vv. 4b, f»).
This was the Lord’s voice calling
Saul by name and asking. “Why per
secutest thou me?" This moved Sam
to inquire, “Who art thou. Lord?” The
answer came, “I am Jesus, whom thou
persecutest.”
3. Saul’s inquiry (v. C), “What wilt
thou have me to d-)?”
The dictator is now willing to tie
dictated to. The Lord told him to go
into the city where information would
he given him us to what he must do.
4. Saul entering Damascus (vv. 7-9).
The haughty persecutor went quite
humbly into Damascus, led by his ai-
tendants. For the space of three days
lie remained blind, and fasted. What
went on in his soul in those days no
mortal can know, hut we may, he as
sured that he, like the Lord in the wil
dorness, was loo deep in meditation
and prayer to desire food, in thes;-
days of deep meaning his whole life
was being reorganized by Jesus Christ
III. Ananias Ministers to Saul (vv
10-19).
1. Ananias' vision (vv. 10-12).
In this vision the Lord appeared
and instructed him to go to Saul. He
gave him the name of the street ami
Sauls host, and informed him that
Saul was now a praying man, and that
He toad prepared Saul by the vision
for the coming ot Ananias.
2. Ananias’ fear and hesitancy (vv.
13-10).
lie knew ot Saul’s ministry and the
authority by which he came. The
Lord encouraged him to go, assuring
him that Saul was no longer an on
eiuy hut a chosen vessel lo bear Ills
name before the Gentiles.
3. Ananias' obedience (v. 17).
Llis fears being removed, Ananias
went to the house where Saul was
staying, put his hand on him and at
fectionateiy addressed him as “Broth
er Saul.” The hitherto savage perse
enter is now a brother in Christ. An
anias informed Saul that tiie Lord had
sent him with a two-fold mission:
(1) “That thou mightest receive
thy sight.”
(2) “Be filled with the Holy Spirit.’
4. Saul baptized (vv. 18, 19).
After Saul received Ids sight An
anias baptized him. Since Ananias
was not a church official, it is clearl.\
implied that official rank is not neces
sary for the administration of bap
tism. The Lord bestows tiie gift r.l
the Spirit upon whomsoeve He will
