126 TEE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES soul of the prejudi<?es and traditions tliat had hith-" erto shaped his life, and received instruction from the Source of truth. Jesus communed with him, and established him in the faith, bestowing upon him a rich measure of wisdom and grace. "When the mind of man is brought into com- munion with the mind of God, the finite with the Infinite, the effect on body, and mind, and soul, is beyond estimate. In such c^nmunion is found the highest education. It is Go(?s own method of development, ' ' Acquaint now thyself with Him, " ' is His message to mankind. The solemn charge that had been given Paul on the occasion of his interview with Ananias, rested with increasing weight upon his heart. When, in response to the word, Brother Saul, receive thy sight," Paul had for the first time looked upon the face of this devout man, Ananias, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, said to him: ^'The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldst know His will, and see that Just One, and shouldst hear the voice of His mouth. For thou shall be His witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard. And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.'^^ These words were in harmony with the words of Jesus Himself, who, when He arrested Saul on the journey to Damascus, declared: ^'I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear ^ Job 22:21. Acts 22:14-16.
