But this laborer loves the church. and stuck to his new task; the Bishop of Washing- ton asked him to give all his time to the missionary work of the diocese at the munificent salary of $2,000. Dr. Curran became the general missionary of the diocese with the task of stimu- ating and reorganizing the whole field. “Immediately resuits began to show themselves. Many parishes were visited, a week’s mission was held, one day | being given to a conference on the m: terial affairs of the parish. In the first ear of this effort, and for the first time in the history of the diocese. the quota for missions was met. viz., $21,000.

The‘ fact that God's grace included (h\“ gentiles had gripped Paul, so that he | preached boldly to all men the gospel of grace and glory.

Cripple Miraculously Healed. When_the apostles commenced their | work in Lystra, which with the exception | missionary journey, Paul detected in the audience & well known eripple, who ! probably had evidently occupied the site selected by Paul as the best place to| preach because of its popularity with | the people, because it gave him an op- portunity to appeal to the tender- hearted muititude for alms. He had| been lame in both feet from birth. evidently detected either in the cripple’s | face or eye the evidence of his faith in | Christ, so that he publicly asked me] humanely hopeless mendicant if he | wished to be made whole. While not recorded in the account, we have every right to presume that he replied in the affirmative and Paul gave him the com- mand to “Stand upright on thy feet"| in the Master's name. The man gave | evidence of his faith by leaping up and | new life power, for he was able to stand. | Campbell Morgan has pointed out that | “the men of Lystra looked upon it as | a great material miracle, but the deeper fact was the spiritual miracle that lay behind it: the cripple’s appre- | hension of the truth and the applica- | tion of it to his own case: the preach- | er's knowledge of it and his keenness of sight in the man's operation of faith | in the living Lord. The ignorant people, remembering their heathen mythology of the visit of the gods, immediately commenced to proclaim in their native dialect, which Paul and Barnabas did not understand, that “the gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.” They had understood Paul preaching in Greek, but they, using their native dialect, that the apostles did not understand, re- vealed that they had false views con- cerning the visitors. They were partially right. God had appeared among men in the form of a man in the birth and | life of Jesus Christ, whom the apostles | had preached to them. They had the | blindness of modern heathen, for in In- dia alone, according to students of the | native faiths of that land, there exist about 3,000,000 gods. A crafty priest, who presided at a local temple, determined to use the old legend of the visit of Jupiter and Mercury to that city, by turning the healing of the cripple to his good. He | planned to honor the missionaries as gods, Barnabas, the older, being con- sidered as Zeus, the father of all other gods and men. Paul, the younger and the preacher, the multitude looked upon as Hermes, the interpreter of god and revealer of his will. He planned to sacrifice the ox and decorate both the missionaries in a manner worthy, according to their faith that they were gods. Miracles, especially any affecting body, have a ten- dency to develop fanaticism, if they are not rightly understood. Declining Divine Honors. The attempts of the Lyaconians to honor Barnabas and Paul as gods sur- prised and shocked the apostles, who, when they learned the program of the | strong churches were | Antioch? " STAR, WASHINGTON, D, €. SATURDAY. AUGUST 4, Ramsey suggests that during the time that they had been preaching in Galatia a change of magistrates may have made their return visit possible. They recognized that they had to teach them how “we must through much tribula- | tion enter into the kingdom of God.” They had to impart their vision to the membership of the churches, which | they had established, so that they | would continue to carry on the work | through all the coming days amidst difficuliles and dangers until the king- dom would be established in the hearts and lives of men. They had to inspire | them with the patience needed to re- move prejudice and the power required to master all forms of iniquity by sharing the fellowship of the suffer- Christ tribuls then w 1f we endure the trials and tions of our life for the Master, e shall share His joy and eternal e. The day of religlous persecution has | almost ceased, but we are all given the privilege of living herofc lives for the Lord. Ore of the mysteries of life is that those who are true to the Lord are most apt to incur the hatred of men. It is this that tests our faith If we walk with the Master, He will help us to endure so that we can say with Paul in time “I know how to be abashed, and I know also how to| abound.” The presence of the Holy Spirit_ will guide us to conquer every | day and in every way and place if we | will_heed His commands and do the | Lord's will and work wherever He calls | us to work, at home or in pagan lands for His glory.

Why is the healing of the cripple at Lystra 5o well substantiated a mir- | acle? | 5. Why did the Lystrans belleve Paul | and Barnabas to be gods? 6. What followed the miracle? | 7. How did Paul and Barnabas ac-| cept the demonstration? 8. What followed upon this? | 9. How did Paul escape death? | 10. Where did Paul and Barnabas go from Lystra? | Answers. 1. Because of the opposition of the Jews, their plotting and the persecu- tion of the civic authorities. | 2. Christian and _anti- Christian | parties were formed. A mob organized to attack the missionaries, but they were warned in time to escape. | | were they received in 3. To Lystra, a town to the south. 4. Tt is reported by Luke, a physician, who records that the man was a crip- ple from birth. There could have been | no healing except by a miraculous transformation of his physical qualities. 5. Living in a Roman province, the Lystrans were imbued with mythical | legend. Barnabas, being of dignified | and imposing appearance, was called | Jupiter, ruler of the gods: while Paul, | the chief speaker, was thought to be Mercury, the messenger. 6. From the temple of Jupiter, the | priests came with sacrificial offerings and prepared to worship the mission- arles. | 7. With great difficulty, Paul and| Barnabas convinced the Lystrans they were men like themselves. 8. Enemies from Anticch and Iconfum came to Lystra and formed a mob, which stoned Paul and left him for dead. 9. Despite his small stature, Paul was a powerful man. His outdoor life and early training stood him well. He could endure torture to which weaker men | would have succumbed, | 10. To Derbe, a city, some 30 miles | to the east. PASTOR ON VACATION.
