Topic: Peace and Freedom through Christ

with contributions from Charles A. Platt, Jacques Copeau, John Alexander Mackay, W. T. Manning, J. G. Huizenga

[Charles A. Platt, in the Newburgh News, New York]

It is more than significant that of all the incidents in the life of Paul and all the things which he said and wrote, the story of his conversion should be repeated three times in the New Testament. Why is such emphasis placed upon this one event? Because it was the first time that Paul had really experienced the divine presence of Christ. All the reasoning about our Lord, all the knowledge of his life and teachings, and all the contact we might have with other Christians cannot be compared with the supreme experience of having Christ in the heart.

This inner consciousness ... was Paul's only defense. It was his life, his power, his guiding influence, his inspiration. Nothing else mattered. When any Christian comes to this point in his religious life, then he has learned the real meaning of living the Christian life.
