they know in
hearts they ought to
do.
But not this man
Ananias. He was a
shinipg exception.
There are three An-
aniases in the New
Testament, and this
one makes up for
One of the others
was a rascally priest and one was
a famous liar; but this Ananias,
another of the “unheralded" charac-
ters from the Bible, is famed for
going when God said, "Go.” We
know nothing much else about
him, but this is enough.
No Womlor Ho Hesitated
IT WAS just after the conversion
•a of Saul. At the time of our story,
nobody had ever heard of Ptiul,
only of Saul as he was then called;
and nobody beard anything good.
He was a bitter, ruthless man. He
had no use for Christians. Exter-
mination was his only answer to
the Christian challenge. The name
of Saul brought terror.
On this day of our story Saul had
been only three days a Christian.
He had had nothing to eat all that
time, and he was said to be blind.
You may be sure that Christians
stayed away from him. His Jeru-
salem cronies had no doubt given
him up as crazy; but no Christian
would go near him either. At this
point our Ananias had a vision;
The Lord told him to go to Saul and
lay his hands on him In help and
blessing. Naturally Ananias held
back. This was a dangerous man,
said he. But again the Lord In the
vision said, "Go,” and Ananias
went.
Suppose Ananias had said "No”?
That might have changed the whole
course of Christian history. How?
He could have thought of many an
excuse. “Aren't there other men
who can baptize Saul as well as I
can? . . . This whole vision may be
only a mistake . . .’’ And so forth.
But not when It became clear to
him that this was God’s will,
Ananias went, though he still did
not like it.
How Is It with you? When
you know what you ought to do,
what Is the first thing you think
of? How to do It, or how to get
out of doing it?
Taking Orders From God
ITOW CAN we tell when it Is
Jli really God who commands us?
Most Christians today are suspi-
cious of visions, and well we may
be. Too many crazy things have been
done by people who saw "visions"
for us to trust such experiences
very far.
One way In which God’s or-
ders come to us Is in the Word
of God, particularly In the
words of Christ. For example,
take one of the hardest things
Jesus ever said: "LOVE YOUR
ENEMIES AND PRAY FOR
THOSE WHO PERSECUTE
YOU.” That sounds tough. It
is tough. But it Is a command.
Yet don’t most of us leave that
command In the closed Bible
and act as if the words had
never been said?
That brings up another question.
Is it likely that Ananias became
fond of Saul all at once? Hardly.
Ananias could not have liked the
man; there was then nothing about
him to like. We know from Paul’s
own words that people generally
were not attracted by his looks. Yet
Ananias, who could not have liked
Saul, much less been fond of him,
went and called him “Brother” and
gave him his start in the Christian
life.
Do You Know a Saul?
TkT OT FAR from where you are
I N sitting at this moment there
may be someone like Saul. He Is
a Christian, but a new and (so far)
poor one, maybe. Someone nobody
believes In, someone you scarcely
know. It may be a child out of
some low-grade home; It may be
an ex-drunkard (not so long over
it) or an ex-convict even; perhaps
someone who has actually done you
a wrong.
But this person may be just where
Saul was, needing a friend. God
may already have touched hit
heart, all he needs now Is the hu-
man touch of a Christian friend.
Maybe you can't love him, can’t
even like him; but If he it a human
soul Qod loves him. If you can
help him, then you are hta An-
anias. You know what you ought to
do. WiB you do RT

If You Don’t Need It
SELL IT
Want Ads Will Find A Buyer
The Recorder’s large number of readers make a Want Ad
the most economical means of finding a buyer for your un-
needed possessions: livestock, field seed, farm implements,
household goods, pet animals, poultry, real estate, musical
instruments, jewelry, automobiles and bicycles, or to find
i
a renter if you have a house, apartment or farm to rent.
You’ll find a Want Ad also effective in locating stray-
ed livestock, and in finding something you want to buy.
