With the deration of the legation
of Austriu-Uungary to an embassy
Robert S. McCoruiick, the present
minUter of the United State to
Austria-Hungary, will be raised to
the rank of ambassador, will assume
privileges never before granted to
an American minister to that coun
try and will have his salary raised
from $12,000 to $17,000 a year.
Mr. McCormick is a Chicago man

The staff of an nmbnssndor is much
the same as tliut of a logution, but
there ore more privileges and great
er distinctions. An ambassador is
called upon to do a great deal more
entertaining than a minister, nnd is
required to make a greater show of
fiplcndor nnd magnificence. The rank
is much higher und the recognition.
is more courtly nnd oflicinl.
The elevation of the Austria-Hun
garian legation to the United States
to an embassy is nn important diplo
matic move on the part of Austria
Hungary nnd ninrks an important
epoch in the relations of the two
countries. The fact that there has
never been nn embassy is generally
supposed to have been duo to a cool
ness on the part of Austria-Hungary
to the United States on account of a
disturbance in this country in which
a mob of Hungarians was roughly
handled. The action of the Austria-
Hungarian government in appointing
its minister, Ladislaus Hengelmullcr
von Hcngclvnr, to the rank of an
ambassador, is taken in this country
03 on Indication that the government
wishes nil former breaches to be
healed nnd a spirit of cordiality es
tablished. Mr. McCormick is very popular in
Vienna, and it is rumored that he'
1ms hud more than a little to do
with the recent action of the Aus
tria-Hungarian government in elevat
ing its legation to nn embassy. The
initiative in the matter was taken
bv Austria-Hungary's foreign minis
ter. Count Goluchowski, nnd as it is
the custom in diplomatic relations
to nlwnvs respond to such nn eleva
tion bv n similar one in this coun
try, Mr. McCormick will be made am
bassador as soon as Mr. llcngel-
muller Is ofliclnlly recognized as such
m this country.

(Acts 1:1-11)

bias and slaughter against the dlrclpies ot
the Lord, went unto the hlxh priest

mascus to the synagogues, ht " found"!
any ot this way, mhether thy were men
or women, ho might bring them bound
Into Jerusalem.
1 And as ha Journeyed, he cam near
Damascus; and suddenly there ehlned
round about him a llgfit from Heaven:
4. And-he fell to the earth, and heard
a voice saying unto Him: Saul, Saul, why
persecutes! thou me?
4. And he said: Who art thou. Lord?
And the Lord said: I am Jesus whom thou
persecutes!; It la hard for thee to kick
against the pricks.
1 And he trembling and astonished, said:
Lord, what wilt thou have me to dot And
the Lord sold unto him: Arise, and go In te
the city, and It shall be told thee what
thou must do.
7. And the men ahlch Journeyed with him
tood speechless, hearing a voice, but see
ing no man.
. And Saul arose from the eartn; ana
when his eves were opened, he faw no man;
but they ltd him by the hand, d brought
him Into Damascus.
I. And he was three days without light.
and neither did eat nor drink.
10. And there was a certain disciple at
Damascus, named Annnlaa; and to him
said the Lord In a vision: Ananias. And
he said: Behold. I am here. Lord.
11. And the Lord said unto him: Arise,
and co Into the street which is called

Saul After Conversion VS. W-U
Saul Before Conversion. We are not
told very much concerning Saul prior
to his conversion, hut the brief
glimpses we are allowed give us a pret
ty fuir clew to his character. These
glimpses of Saul are from Acts 53-60, in
Acts 8:1, Acts 8:3, and in the first two
verses of tins lesson. The first two
of these references show Saul in the
band of those who stoned the
disciple Stephen, and "Saul was con
senting unto his death." In 8:3 we are
told Saul . . . made havoc of the
church." Acts 9:1 shows Saul "breath
ing out threatcnings and slaughter
against the disciples of the Lord. e
do not need to infer from these pas
sages that Saul (Paul) was particu
larly bloodthirsty. He was an enthu
siastic, zealous partisan of the Jewish
traditions, a "pharisee of the phari
sees" (see Phil. 3:4, 5). The teachings
of Jesus concerning Himself, and con
cerning the kingdom of God, which He
came to found, brought into strict con
trast and opposition those leaders of
thought who stood for the old tradi
tions and for the precepts of the rab
bis. lie Sees a Heavenly Light. Upon
one of his missions of persecution Saul
comes face to face with the fact that
he has not been doing right. Before
he thought he hud. But his whole con
science had not yet been awakened.
He hnd been groping in the darkness.
A great light suddenly appears. It was
a light, the like of which had never
before appeared to him, a light "above
the brightness of the sun." It was
no earthly light, but a light fram
Heaven.
He Hears n Voice. Then he heard
a voice; It was no earthly voice, but,
like the light, from Heaven: "Saul,
Soul, why persecutest thou me?" It
Is a curious, but convincing, proof
that the voice was from Heaven from
the fact that Saul immediately per
ceived that it was the voice of the
Lord, but the speaker was such a
Lord as Snul had not known, for he
said: "Who art thou, Lord?" The
voice came again: "I am Jesus, whom
thou persecutest." Saul's next ques
tion was the natural one for a strong
man to ask. If this was indeed the
Lord, the Master, it was for Snul to
obey. So he ssks: "What wilt then
have me to dor But it was not yet
for Saul to learn. First he was to go
to Damascus and have a session to
readjust his ideas and his own life
to his new experience.
His Three Days' Blindness, During
the next three days Saul had plenty
of time and opportunity to think
things over. The Lord he had thought
he had been serving by persecuting'
the disciples of Jesus, he had found
to be Jesus Himself. Here was soul
conflict, sure enough. He was three
days without sight, but with the tem
porary loss of sight came spiritual
vision.
Ananias Sent to Saul. Ananias waa
a disciple. To him came a vision of
Saul in his struggle toward the light.
At the command of God he went to
this aforetime persecutor that he
(Saul) might again receive his sight.
Saul After Conversion. After con
version he was the sntun Snul as he
was before, nnd yet not the snine
ne had the same old strength of zeal
and enthusiasm, hut now it wns ex
pended in the right direction, and
"straightway he preached Christ in
the synogngiiPs, that He Is the Son
of God." "And he spnke boldly In
the nnmo of the Lord Jesus."
