Golden Text—I am not ashamed of the gospel; for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that belleveth.— Romans, 1, 16. In last week's study we saw the providentlal preparation for the proc- lamation of the gospel to the gen- tiles. The conversion of Paul pro- vided the man, who was providential- ly prepared by his Jewish ancestry, his Roman citizenship and educa- tlon in the Greek city of Tarsus and the schools of Jerusalem, to under- take the establishing of Christianity as a worldwide spiritual power. Christ had appointed him at his con- vesion as an apostle to the other nations for whom the Lord had dled, but the opportunity to carry out his commission was not given to Saul until after he had served as an as- soglate pastor of the Gentile Church in Antioch. The membership of this church made such an fmpression upon the city by fheir character, creed and nduct that the people called them Christians. They were the first to be thus honored and also to attempt to ol Christ’s commands to preach the gospel to every creature. ome students of this early mis- sionary movement have heen inelined to belleve that Paul's ldea of mis- slons called him to attempt to win Asia for the Lord.

The men’s meeting tomorrow at the Terminal Y. M. C, A. will be under the auspices of Calvary Baptist Church. Bible reading groups will be held Tuesday and Thursday, and Bible study class Tuesday, 7:30 p.m., with Clyde Freed as leadery Paul's | sl mi Spirit, who hindered the apostle's efforts in Asia and beckoned him by a revelation to enter Europe. Puzzled by the way in which the Spirit had blocked his entrance into Bithynia, Paul had tried to solve the problem of his personal duty. He had trled to reason it out while he was detained in the seaport of Troas. While he slept there came to Paul the vislon that pointed out to him the line of missionary extension. | It will be an interesting study for any one to trace through the study of the Bible the many instances where sleep has been the medium through which God has spoken to men. Psychologists have just touched the borderland of the powers of the subconscious mind that works while men sleep. It was a man and not a map that appeared to the apostle. The suggestion that the man was no other than Luke, the beloved phys! cian, who attached himself to Paul missionary party of Troas, has much in its favor. “The man of Mace- donia was visualized to the apostle through his subconsciousnes long as Paul was consclous surroundings, limitations ventions God could not reveal His will and purpose to His servant. But when the cerebro-spinal nerve & tem was at rest and the sympa thetic nerve system was awake photographed upon t sensitized surface the revelation of His will.” Between Troas and Rome was most of the then known world when Paul responded to the call for him to gir- dle the globe with the gospel similar eall comes to every Christ today from the suffering nat war-tired- Europe “to come o help” them. yThe same appe sounded by .China seeking to frec herself from exploitation.

With a “stralght course” they succeeded |in the short space of two days | searrying efvilization into Europe | The apostle centered his efforts upon the cites, and the strategic pla hat he was called upon to conquer or Jesus Christ. The commencem of their missionary work in the west- ern continent was very humble. They found the Jews of Philippl had no synagogue. The few residents of Hebrew ancestry had a place for prayer outside of the city upon the banks of the Ganges. There ‘they ymmenced their personal efforts the t Saturday that they wers in rope, which was the commence ment of Paul's campaign to win Europe for Christ Phillppt was a minlature of the cap- ital of the great empire. It was a colony with officers, and spirit similar to Rome. The s cess that attended their labor: Philippi, where God opened the of a capable Jew woman to the [truths of the gospel, were prophetic | of the results that would be attainea | during his missionary ploneering in Europe. Although there has develop- ed during the centuries since th | 1postie preached g ary or | ganizations and enlarged missionary erprises the methods adopted b, | Paul still prevail. He based them ) apon the prineiplés and practices of Jesus Christ, who gave the church in His last message command to preach the gospel unto the last man, | The Lord's program for worldwide missions contains the only hope for threatened civilization. The Master's desire to unify all nations by His spirit of love is the only foundation | upon which a world { nations, or an assoclat can be erected that will bring peaec {to_all nations and unite them a fraternity of nations. Until all tions are evangelized we cannot pect permanent peace Paul found in his pioneer work that Europe responded to his message. He sowed the seeds of the gospel of fr dom that was destined to ripen in the life of America and become tha spirit that gave unity to the allie and our land in secking “to save democracy for the world” Paul and Silas endured the penalty of the prison because they had mastered the spirit of Python In the possessed girl They turned the prison cell into a er meeting room, where he anft prayed and pralsed God. An arthquake offered them freedom, but they used it to advance the kingdom of their Lord. They won the jailer and Faptized his household as well as the jailer, who would not have been con- verted had Paul claimed his_rights as Roman citizen. Philipi, Beroea, Thessalonica and Corinth and the sur- rounding stions were visited were established. Rome, the political capital and center of civilization, awaited to be won. It was due to his claims of being Roman that Paul finally reache Rome as a prisoner. and did some of {his greatest work yns. The ancient like Washington today. swaved the world. If ation Capital was controlled by the’ influ- ence of Christ it would hélp make all nations and races subjects of the Lord. Prison Hf tle from preaching Christ his “own hired house" torlum and a school of prayer. He opened up correspondence courses upon the glory of the gospel with the members of the churches which he had established. The New Testa- ment is & by-product of missionary endeavor. Paul contributed a large portion of it while “a prisoner of Christ Jesus,” not of Rome, but in the bonds of the Ldrd for the pur- pose of helping the Gentiles, to whom he had preached the good news of the Lord. He reminds the E; that he was in prison because of his passion to preach the democratic go: pel of Christ and of his program of treating the Gentile nations just like he would treat the Jew. The missionary whose ploneer work had embraced the Roman emplre and whose passion for souls moved him to write, when suffering and in prison for his fidelity to Jesus Christ and his lovalty to his brethren of the Gentile churches, whom he consid- ered to be co-heirs in the promis of God, Is an inspiration to us to at- tempt to finish the task of winning the world for Christ. When we realize that our Lord is no respector of persons we will try to live with all men as brothers. The missionary in i of nations capital was did not hinder the apos- He made Lord by treating the pagans as brothers. It is only on this founda- tion principle that missionary or church work can succeed. Paul re- mained an intense Jewlish patriot during all his efforts to create an in- ternational spirit of good will and brotherhood among all mankind. The one with His world vision will be loyal to his local church and country CHURCH BODY ASKS U.S. 0 J0INLEAGUE Federal Council Demands Affiliation or Proposal of “Effective Substitute.
