, GOLDEN TEXT
This is a faithful saying, and worthy
of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus
came into the world to save sinners;
of whom I sm 'chief.--i. Timothy 1:15.
Verses 1, 2. The story links itself
with the martyrdom of Stephen. “But
Paul, yet breathing, threatening, and
slaughter against the disciples of the
Lord," etc. This apparently abrupt
introduction carries the reader back to
the point from which the evangelistic
efforts of Philip had started. namely.
the death of the other evangelist, Ste-
phen.
Oi I Paul before he joined the murd-_
erers ot Stephen we learn many im-
portant details from his own -refer-
ences to his past life; but so far as the
account in Acts is concerned it notes
only his participation in the death of
Stephen, and as an immediate sequel,
his conversion. The gulf between
the enemy and persecutor of God's
cause on the one hand. and the zeal-
ous supporter and promoter of it, is
deep, but it is also narrow enough to
be bridged by one superhuman effort.
Some have contended that the effect
of the dying Stephen's behaviour on
Saul’s mind was only to irritate him
and confirm him in his hatred of the
Christians. Others have alleged that
the conversion of Paul was the natural
reaction of his better nature from the
violent, extreme and cruel treatment
of the martyr. 'I‘hercls an element of
truth ln both positions. On the sur-
face of Paul’s nature thc conduct of
Stephen evidently produced a violent
irritation. He was outraged by the
apparent blasphemy of the evangelist.
His zeal for the faith of his fatliors
was goadcd on to a fury of hatred. But
this could very well co-exist with a
counter-cnprglit iu.ihc depths of his
soul towards Christ. 'The heroic calm-
ness and strength of the dying Chris-
tian could not but command his ad-
mirnlty. Alld what was thcrc, nftcr
all, in Jesus us preached by Stcpllon
that could bc condcmnod upon purely
lnoroistnudsrds of rlightcousncss?
Thoughts of this kind must have agi-
tated his soul as hc journeyed towards
Damascus.
Verscs 3-9. I‘aul probably went to
Damascus by the dlrcct routo, known
as "thc Way of thc Sea." This is
slightly iliiforcut from tho routc coin-
monly taken by the modcrll visitor to
thc Holy Land, who proceeds from
Jerusalem, to tho sources of the Jor-
dan. and hcncc north eastward to his
destination. 'Phe exact spot of the
remarkable experience of Paul is ilxcd
by tradition on a height twelve miles
south of Damascus. At this point the
party would catch thc first glimpse of
the ancient city. lt was a fit place for
such an experience.
The different accounts of that exper-
ience show some differences in minor
details. Since. however, all of_them
must have had Paul as their* ultimate
source, and since all are reproduced
by Luke, these differences must, not
be looked at as discrepancies, but rath-
cr as mutually complcmelltary varia-
tions. perhaps intentionally introduced

‘Ce.pt. McRae ' of the Canadian
Machine Gun School, -Shoraoliife has
written the following most interesting
letter to Mr. R. V. hongworth, in
which he illwleste that he will re-
turn sad form a Machine .Gun Com-
pany in P. E. l., and also explain
several important inventious_ he bas
madez- - -
Many thanks for the newspapers.
As the output of Guns increases from
the new Munition Works there is a
corresponding greater demand for
Trained Machine Gun Oillcers. Non-
Comrnissioned Oiilcers and men. I
have a larger staff of instructors uu-
der me (Officers and Non-Commlssiom
ed) than the combined staff of all the
Island Militia. So you can easily see
how busy one has got to be, whether
it is palatable or not. I have the
triple complaint, sore, sick and tired.
I have trained over 2000 Machine Gun-
ners since joining the Expeditionary
Force, many of whom now sleep in
soldiers graves, some mained for
life, some invslided home and the
remainder still in the firing line
standing manfully between the rna-
tion, and ruin. The Machine Gun
School has brought great credit to the
Canadians in England. Last summer
it was inspected by Sir Leslie Rundie
in Command of the Eastern Com-
mand and General Dickenson Insepc-
tor of Training for the War Oilice.
Their report to the War Oilice stated
that it was the most advanced school
in England and this was attributed to
the Colonlal’s disregard or red tape
and army traditions. About two
weeks ago \ve were again inspected
by General Dodds another inspector
of Training and when he was ` all
through. looking into everything. he
informed us that the War Office had
decided to adopt our system and met-
hods of teaching and that they were
going to standardlize all the schools in
England on the same basis, Machine
Guns and Aircraft are of more milit-
ary value no\v than anything else. A
few days ago the War Odlce sent
down word to Canadian Headquarters
to have every Canadian Private
trained as a Machine Gunner if pos-
sible. This is a very large order as a
tremendous instructional- staff would
have to be built up first. We have 6
men in a squad to each instructor, 8
men is too many and there is no ad-
vantage in having less than six. This
will give you an idea of what a large
number of Instructors are required in
order to turn out a larger number of
trained men. General. Aldersou
visited the scnool a couple of weeks
ago, looked into all the details went
back to France and reported that the
only thing that delighted him at tho
Training Division was the Machine
Gun School. When tho 105th is re-
cruited up to strength I propose to
seek authority to return home and or-
ganize the Frist Prince Edward isl'd
Machine Gun Company, nine olilcers
and one hundred and fortyonc other
ranks will bo required. 1 propose to
\Ԥet,50 per cent at least ot' the Oillcers
by bringing home Machine Gunners
from the Trenches and having them
promoted to oillcers. This is thc
sound method of getting oillccrs for
tho new units llow being organized.
Thu outrageous pructlcc of giving
commissions to civilians should stop
fortliwitll. ' except ill cxccptiunnl
cases whcro business ulcn urs requir-
ed for administrative purposes. Not
only docs it breed diillcultics und fos-
ter inofilcioncy-but fur worse, it
breaks the spirit of tho real lighting
man in tho trenches who whcll Conl-
missionsaro passed around should
bo favorably considered. Many
months ago I wrotc some of the lead-
ing people at home urging U10 f0l`I\1&°
tion of M. G. Companies, pointing out
at thc samc‘time the grunt Military
value of Machine Guns and that this
proposed method would suit the lim-
ited recruiting rescourscs of P. E. l.,
better than any other. Had tho sug-
gestion been acted on wo would now
have at least the lst. 2nd, 3rd and ith

edge that came to him at his com. .
sion.
The preaching of the ne\v convert
was inet by violent opposition on one
side and by natural suspicion on the
other. The Jews of Damascus wore
enraged and conspired to destroy him.
And the Christians of Jerusalem shun-
ued him as a possible disscmbler. To
overcome the difficulties raised he
lnust needs depend upon the assist-
ance of his new friends. It was these
that saved him at Damascus by help-
ing him to escape by night. And it was
Barnabas, another sympathizer,_ who
introduced him to the apostles at Jer-
usalem. lt, would be difilcnlt to overes-
timate the helpfulness of those who
understand one and sympathize with
his aims and purposes.

can carry on without it and remain
in action much longer than with any
of the air cooled guns such as the
Lewis. Colt or Hotchkiss. This is
the first time this feautre is found
in one gun. When I was explaining
the Mcltae Automatic Gun to be Head
of a grunt Engineering Firm hs said:
And how did you arrive at all this
since you are not a Mechanical Engi-
ncer.
1 said it was quite simple I took all
the Standard makes of guns, threw a-
way all their vices and incorporated
all their virtues into one weapon.
He said: “That was moving on
sound lines. l would like to have you
on my staff when the war is over or
as soon os you can get clear of the
service."
l have designed three types ol' auto-
matic gulls any one of which is sup-
erior to any Machine Gun heretofore
existing. Tile great difficulty is to
get these guns manufactured as every
concern in Great Britain has more
work contracted for than they can
put through lu the_ next two years. if
1 could only get authority l could go
to some neutral country and perhaps
have the gun turned out in quantities
before the wal' is over. Have also in-

a means of Machine Gun transport, an
entirely new and novel idea and great
things are anticipated in regard to it.
