Golden Text—Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.- I Thess., v.21, Paul ‘selected Thessalonica, modern |Saloniki, the key to the Balkans, as his headquarters when he left Philipp! following his persecution for. helping the unfortunate girl. He followed his program of winning the stra- tegic centers of opulation when e turned to Thes- salonica in his de- termination to capture the Ro- man Empire for Christ and his church. Its situ- ation made it a growing commer- cial center, It controlled ‘the whole region north of the Aegean Sea, 80 that the allles during the war fortified and made it the center of thelr operations when they took it from thé Turks, who had controlled it since 1430. Paul passed by several prominent cities during his two-day trip from Philipp! to Thessalonica, which was a famous city ever since it was named after Therma, the sister of Alexander the Great. The travel-stained mis- sloparies differed in appearance from the invaders of later days, yet it is doubtful if any left a mere perma- nent impression upon its life than did Paul and his companions. He bullt so well that it remalned for centuries a great bulwark of Christianity. Al though it was captured by the Sar- acens in 904 A.D., then taken by the Crusaders in 1184, and became sub- Ject to the Mosléems in 1430, the city has always contained a large Chris tian element in its population, so that in the early middie ages it was Chris- tianii strongest force in the East. It has always contained a large num- ber of Jews in its population, who extended a welcome to Paul and placed the synagogue at his disposal during the first three weeks of his stay in Thessalonica. Synagogue Services. Judlism prepared the sofl for the introduction of Christianity in Thes- salonica. Paul, following his cus- tom of presenting the gospel mes- sage to his countrymen, assembled Rev. Dr. Stevenson. in their synagogue, sought to convince, convict and convert the Jews of the city by his expositions of the Old Tes- tament. He apgued with them in an endeavor to prove three propositions: “First, the Bcriptures show that the Messiah must be a sufferer; secondly, the Messiah must rise from the dea. and, thirdly, the historic Jesus did su! fer and rise from the dead and, there. fore, He is the predicted Messiah. Paul clinched his expositions of the Scriptures by his personal testimony as an eye witness of the reality of the Christ being risen from the dead, be- cause he had seen Him after His res- urrection from the grave. After three weeks' services in the Jewish synagogue the differences of views concerning the teachings of the Old Testament resulted in transfer- ring the meetings evidently to the home of Jason. His letters prove he continued his ministry for some time, winning a great multitude of both Jews and devout Greeks by his rea- sonable answers to the questions pro- pounded to him by the people whom he had interested in his views of Christ Jesus. The gospel message pro- duced such an effect in the life of the converts that when the charges were preferred against the Christians they were accused of turning the world up- side down by the hostile Jewish ele- ment, who were ringleaders in secur- ing a mob of rascals, drawn from the loafers of the market place, when they sought in their anger to persecute Paul. Treasonable Charges. It is not to be wondered at that the Jews, who did not belleve in Paul's teachings, should be stirred up to an- ger and even persecute him. Argu- ments over religious questions are apt to be marked by such a spirit. There was a jealousy in their difference, due to the fact that he was winning away from them many of the devout-minded Greeks, who had been strong support- ers of the synagogue and champions of Judaism. When the rabble had Istirred up a mob and Jason was ar- rested, they preferred a treasonable charge against him. They declared that the Christian prisoners a.ctag “contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there was another Kking, one Jesus. They deliberately turned the spiritual sovereignty of the Lord Jesus into a specious lie that poisoned the mind of the people, but failed to influence the court, ‘“who, under the eye of the resident pro-consul, did not bend themselves to any irregular pro- ceedings like the Philippian praetors. Thessalonica was a free city, enjoying municipal self-government, which is indicated by the title given to their city sulers. Politarchs is a rare title = CATHOLIC. and only found in one other city in the New Testament records. They acted fairly with the accused, for they only made a record of the serious charges of treason and admltted Jason, whom some consider to have been a relative of Paul's ball. Luke’s accuracy as a historian has been confirmed by the stone taken from the so-called “Arch of Constgntine,” in Thessalonica, con- taining the names of six politarchs. It is now In the British Museum. Many missionaries have had to face the charge of promoting revo- lution, due to the transformations made by the gospel in the lives of their converts. President Faunce of Brown University has pointed out the far-reaching political effects of teaching English. One has but to consider for & moment the far-reath- ing effect of the explanation of such words &s patriotism, democracy, re- public, citizenship, town meeting, commtitee, Monroe doctrine, Con- gress, Representative, liberty, justice and equality In the teaching of our language in India, China, Africa, Oceania and Japan. These ideas have molded the Anglo-Saxon and they are destined to eventually shape the world’s political life, as they find lodgment in the minds of men with strong personalities in other lands. Such missionaries have usually found that it is best for them to seek other fields, as Paul did_upon the advice of his friends in Thessalonica. Religious Research. Luke, who evidently belonged to one of the old Macedonian aristo- cratic families, points with pride to the fact that the Jews of Berea were more noble than those of democratic Thessalonica “in that they searched the scriptures dally, whether those things were so” They put Paul's claims to the test of experience and proved by the laboratory method the reagonableness of the Christian faith. They found that the Secrip: tures were In harmony with the apostle's teachings. Many Jews and a large number of the leading Greclan men and women of the city were won for Christ and joined the Church planted by the apostle in Berea. Paul's stay with this body of believers must have covered some time, although its extent is not lown It must have been one of the happlest periods of his ministry. There would be many congenial peo- ple converted to Christianity from the ranks of soclety and scholarship whose friendship would appeal to Paul. Sopater, who was a member of the Berean Church and who later went up with Paul to Jerusalem to help carry the contributions of the Gentile churches for the poor found among the membership of _the Jerusalem Church, must have been one of the number whose society the apostle would thoroughly enjoy. During the whole period that Paul spent with Berean brethren, his heart was heavy because of the condition of the Thessalonican Church. Evi- dentally he was expecting to“return to that city, which was only 20 miles away by land and 47 by sea. When the animosity of that section of the Jewish population in Thessalonica found its way to Berea,-Paul de- parted through Thessaly, that he and his bretheren crossed on foot, for Athens, leaving Silas and Timothy to care for the churches established in Berea and Thessalonica. The open-minded Bible reading church at Berea needed no further oversight from the apostle, but the Thes- salonicans called for letters that we will consider in next week's lesson.
