Acts, x1i1.13-32; Romans, 1.14-16; xi.1-24. Golden text—"I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth.”—Acts xii1.47. ‘We follow Paul and Barnabas who. on leaving the Island of Cyprus, sailed for the strategic centers of in Asia Minor. In view of that navigation in those days opened in March, it was probably at that sea- son of the year when they ship that would carry them about 100 miles in a northwesterly direction througl the “wide bay of Attalia. or the Pam- phylian Seat.” They ‘rrnbnhly salled up the Cestrus River and landed at Perga. John left the party here to return to Jerusalem, while the others pushed right on, not stopping in this prosper- ous commercial center, possibly because malaria was prevalent at that season, or they had an opportunity to journey with travelers who were bound for An- tioch in Pisidia. It was only 40 miles away but it took a week for those on foot to go through the dangerous lofty mountain passes that were torn by tor- rents and frequently blocked by snow. Reaching Antioch, in Pisidia, Paul Probably secured work at his trade, while waitng for an opportunity to preach in the synagogue of the Jews, who were a large element in the city's popula- tion. When given the privilege of speaking in their synagogue, Paul deliv- ered a message which is the first re- corded address that has come down to us from the Apostle. Although only the merest outline of his sermon has been preserved for us, yet we have in it evidence that proves it to have been a great message. One feels his intense urpose as he draws from the nation's gmory and prophecy his arguments to persuade the Jewish hearers that Jesus was their long-expected and promised Messiah. Paul understood from his own atti- tude and experience before his conver- sion trat he had to make his hearers | realize that the law lacked power to save them. He had to prove to them that Jesus of Nazareth, who had been rejected by their leaders and crucified, fulfilled in His life the prophegies con- cerning the Messiah. He spoke with | evidently divine rpt)wer as he unfolded the foundation of his faith in Jesus as the one who fulfilled the nation’s hope. He graphically traced the leading events | in their history as a people up to the | period of David, “at which time he skilfully introduced Jesus as the prom- | ised seed of David and savior of men.” The immediate influence was seen in the number who bad accepted his ar- guments, followed the two missionaries to their lodgings and sought to learn more about Jesus. They urged him to preach again the next Sabbath. The synagogue was crowded when Paul preached again. He faced bitter op- position. This did not intimidate either Paul or Barnabas, who, seeing the de- fiant attitude of the Jews, deliberately turned and commenced preaching the Gospel to the Gentiles. Preaching to Gentiles. Pointing out that they were follow- ing the prophecy of Isaiah by turning | to the Gentiles and were literally fol- | lowing the commandment of God, they | cited how Jehovah had said through the prophet: “I have set thee to be a light to the Gentiles, that thou shouldest. be for salvation to the ends of the earth.” The Gentiles were delighted to learn how God had planned for their salvation through the Jews and accepted the offer presentad to them by the two missionaries willingly and joyfully, so that the Lord added daily to the church such as were being saved through faith in Christ Jesus. The Jews of Antioch were not unlike | many of the professed Christians of our day. They desired to keep God's revel- ation for their own nation and race, like those professed followers of the Lord Jesus who claimed that they have no interest in foreign missions, al- though Christ placed the responsibility upon us of winning the world for Him. When they saw the Gentiles accepting the gospel they were filled With envy. The next thing we see is the break- ing out of a persecution, which ended | with the Apostles leaving Antioch. ‘When the chief people of the city, i cluding some prominent women, col menced to agitate against the strang- ers and their doctrine, it soon reached the Romans, who were opposed to reli ious agitation. They were easily per- suaded that Paul and Barnabas were disturbers of the peace of the city, and s0 “they were cast out beyond the fron- tiers.” ‘The gospel had been preached throughout the whole country. The progress of missionary work throughout the nations of the earth, from the day that Paul and Barnabas turned to the Gentiles, has been tremendous. In their decision our own salvation was involved. The destiny of America and the nations of our day were included in that an- nouncement that Christ was_the ap- pointed Savior of all men. Paul was a great strategist and he laid deep the foundations of faith for generations of heroes and heroines of the Cross, not then born. It was the first proclama- tion by a minister of Christ that His gospel provided a universal salvation for all men. The enemies of the mission- aries thought they had defeated the work of Paul and Barnabas when they were forced to leave, but their work has stood the test of time, while Antioch has perished and become a mass of ruins, g A Universal Gospel. ‘When Paul and Barnabas left the city as a result of the persecution, they fol- lowed an old Jewish practice of “shak- ing the dust off their feet,” just as Christ had commanded them to do. It was a symbolic act, not of anger, “but of judgment — equivalent to saying, ‘your blood be upon your own heads.’” it marked a complete break between the two different forces. Although the two missionaries left the city, due to persecution, they left a body of believ- ers in the city who were filled with joy and the peace of the Holy Spirit, due to_their acceptance of Jesus Christ. Paul, in the section taken from the Romans expressed his cbligation to preach the gospel to all mankind. He was ready and desirous of proclaiming it to every creature, but the desire to win the Roman Empire for Christ is apparent in the willingness to preach the gospel in Rome, the center of the known world. When he spoke of it as the power of God unto salvation, Paul knew that it was more than a means of spiritual salvation, for wherever the message of the gospel has gone it has changed the character of men and the destiny of nations. ‘The joy of Chris- tianity comes in sharing our posses- sion of the divine message with others. Paul gave his whole life without re- serve to Christ and sought in every way possible to extend the Kingdom of God among men. Have we been as faithful and true to Christ? Are we ashamed of His gospel, which is the power of God unto salvation for not only America but the whole world. Our modern civilization is the result of Paul’s missionary work. The perils that men are facing at the present moment throughout the world and in every land can be solved only by the procla- mation and practice by the nations of Mniversal Besign The Fellowship of the Universal Design of Life WASHINGTON BRANCH 1.

If we possess the courage of our convictions and had consecrated our lives upon the altar of God, as Paul did in an effort to win the world for Christ, we would quickly carry His gospel to every creature and usher in a day of peace and universal brotherhood. The present period of depression is due to a lack of faith. Men have for- gotten God. In the mad rush for ma- terial gain the spirit of confidence and trust has been destroyed. Upon Labor Sunday we are apt to consider only the cconomic needs of the toiling millions. The desire for justice and fair play will all be restored when we return to h | the fundamental principles of the Lord Jesus. Wars will cease when we recog- nize the reality of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man. Enmity, hate and the spirit of retali- ation afl disappear, when His command to love cne another becomes the domi- nant controlling motive of the world’s life. Let us hasten the era of peace, brotherhood and good will by doing our missionary task. HAMLINE SERVICES INCLUDE SACRAMENT Rev. H. W.

W. A. SHELTON, Rastor D. C, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5 1931 | l MARJORIE HESITATES. HAT car was seldom out of Jimmie's mind. From the local registration bureau he had learned that Capt. Stirling and 16 others in the locality owned two-seaters of the type seen near the grounds. Maj. Gresham owned one, but he sald he haa walked over on night of the tragedy. The car might have come from a distance or, if a local one, possibly was used withou its oWwner’s knowledge. Coming from a visit to Constable Roscoe, who had been tracking down these cars, Jimmie met Marjorie, Who, rather to his surprise, the 1 to speak to him. She was looking better and happier than when he had previ- ously seen her, and he wondered what had caused the very noticeable change. She said that if Nancy Wade would drop in again and bring Donald and himself it would be kind. Jimmie prom- Iu& to deliver the message. Then he sald: ‘_upo news, I suppose, of the vanished 'No,” sald Marjorle, adding that she could not understand any worry over it, since Morgan had said that, even if signed, it would not be binding. “If properly signed, it would not all be inoperative.” “Only the bit about us? And of course we are suspected.” Her manner was almost gay. “Whom do you sus- pect, Mr. Haswell?” Jimmie countered with a smile and |ing she continued. “The police suspect everybody, don't they? Especially Bill | he Netherto and me. If they only knew——" Then she stopped abruptly and spoke more seriously. “Is all the talk about it going to do Bill any harm? My brother declares that in a little place like this tnings are never forgotten—even when they are untrue. Vinnie is suspected, too. Ought I to say that he wrote to me before he came down here? He told me he was coming and he asked me to see that Aunt Annabelle was in a good temper.” “Have you got his letter?” “No, I didn’t keep it.” Jimmie considered the question for a few moments. Such a letter would be further evidence that Vincent Blake had not made a secret visit to his eunt's abode, though it would not dis- pose of the possible theory of a plot be- tween himself and one or both of his sisters. Nor would it dispose of the suggestion that he mignt have seen his aunt and quarreled with her. Marjorie did not want to tell the superintendent of Vincent's letter, but told Jimmie that he might, although Vincent had told her that Richmond would ask why it had not been told before. Jimmie suggested that Vincent tel him. don't think it matters much either way,” Haswell commented. “But what did you think, when you found your aunt and Vincent did not appear?” “You mean did I suspect Vinnie? N T did not. I had forgotten about him “And now? Yourself, your sister, your | brother—knowing your aunt and all the circumstances of her life better than any one else could—can you make no suggestions that will help to solve the mystery?” “But we ourselves are suspected ‘The more reason then to tell all you know.’ After a slight hesitation she said, “We told about the letters, but they never discovered who wrote them.” “Suppose the letters had nothing to do with it?” “But why suppose it? T must leave suspicions to you and to the police.” “You spoke of the danger of harm resulting to Dr. Netherton. Have you done all you can to prevent that danger?” “What do you mean”” she asked. “If you believe Dr. Netherton to be innocent, is there nothing you can tell that will help to establish his inno- | cence? To clear his name from any | taint of suspicion?” The warm color flushed her cheeks. “Bill is innocent, absolutely innocent. | No one can prove anything else.” “I know I have no real right to inter- fere,” Jimmie paused to let his words sink in, “although one of the parties | concerned asked me to help them. We | want, if possible, to punish the guilty; but, most of all, we want to save the | innocent.” | She looked away from him, the old troubled look coming again into her . “Do you not suppose,” she whis- d, “I would help you if I could?” “Would you? Think it over, Miss | Blake. Think over all it may mean to Bill—and others. Then, if there is any- thing—will you let me know?" Once more she hesitated.

In the morn! Jimmie played a meeting Evelyn and Lionel on the course. Evelyn repeated the invitation to the Wades and Jimmie for bridge that | ha evening and passed on. In the dis- tance was Capt. Stirling and another man, the one-armed golfer making some accurate long drives. In the afternoon he went to see Ros- coe and again met Supt. Richmond, who seemed greatly discouraged. “The safe way to commit a murder is on the impulse. Every plan you make is a source of danger. If a man hates an. other, there is murder in his heart. Suddenly the chance to kill is offered and he takes it. That sort of crime is the most difficult to detect.” “Are you talking at large or with reference to the Querdling case?” asked “To this case, of course. I am com- back to my first idea that the chauffeur did it. He was furious at , she was there under the image and ve it a shove. No one saw him and nothing can be proved.” “I follow the argument,” sald Jimmie, 'and to some extent agree. The visit to Ben Acres for the hammer was not the only walk that evening. “On the way to Ben's, or coming back, he went around by the Dutch garden and saw his chance. “What about the empty Jimmie. “He thought it would put us off the track, but our failure o trace it justi- fies our doubting its existence.” 1f, as Jimmie suggested, Collett and Mrs. Frater had seen it, too, Richmond said it might not have been the same one.
