Matthew, xxviil.19. ‘We open our study of the lessons for the fourth quarter by considering what Ramsay considers to be “the most re- markeble paragraph in the whole book of Acts.” In the last lesson of the third quarter we studled the work of the Je- rusalem Council, that reccgnized that‘ Christianity was not limited to mem-| bers of the Jewish race. We see in this | week’s ttudy how Paul, who had won the battle for spiritual [reedom, was brought face to face with his duty to carry the gospel into Europe. Differences between Barnabas and Paul over the question of allowi g John Mark as a member of their missionary party became a serious contention. Probably both men were at fault in this matter, but it resulted in the formation of two misslonary parties. Barnabas championed the right of John Mark to another chance. Paul, recall- ing his desertion of them after they left Cyprus, refused to hear of it. Bar- nabas went with John Mark to Cyprus, where, according to traditions, he die Later Paul and John Mark made up and the apostle acknowledged his worth as a fellow worker. Barnabas was vin- »d in time, but not soon encugh to these two outstanding leaders cpen by carrying mocern civilization across the Heliespont. | God overruled the differences of His | two servants for the Master's glory and the development of His kingdom. ~Paul found & new associate in Silas, whose ability was recognized by the brethren in Jerusalem. He was a Roman citizen and a Hebrew by birth. He was recog- nized as a leader among the brethren in both the Jerusalem and Antioch churches. They revisited the churches that had been established by Paul and Barnabas in Southern Asia Minor dur- ing their first missionary journey. They informed them of the council’s decree, which helped to increase their member- ship. While In Lystra they added Tim- othy, whos> father was a Greek and his mother a Christian Jewess, to their number. His mother had failed to have him given the sign of the covenant. s Paul had him circumcised, so as not se pny hostility on the part of the | . In their efforts to enter new fields in Asia the apostle found through the Holy Spirit that Paul's plans were nct approved. He had reached Troas, where he was compelled to call in a physician. Here in this stretegic sea- | port, where men from all Mediterranean lands cculd be seen, Paul fought out the battle of his life that d>terminsd the destiny of modern civilization. { Maccdonian Call [ Evidently Paul had started out upon his second missionary journey without a definite plan to attempt to win the Roman world for Christ. He had for- mulated certain principles concerning | missionary activities that today are ac- | cepted as fundamental. He passed over the territory where there existed a | strong Jewish influence. He sought strategic centers of population in Ro- | man provinces, where he preached and | instituted churches. He looked upon the Gospel 2s adapted to the needs of | 2ll mankind. He presented it to all men in a simple, straightforward man- ner under the leadership of the Holy Spirit. He placed the responsibility | upon all his converts to become per- sonal workers for Christ and His | church. Each organization was to be self-cupporting. Individually they were | to be free from the handicaps of any formalism and requirements of the Jewish faith. They were to aid by their gifts the struggling interests. | Reaching Troas, Paul had no defi- nite program. The countries that he had planned to enter he found were closed to him by the voice of the Holy | Spirit. He had longed to carry the gospel to the East, but there in Troas| Paul was made to sce that he should enter Europe with the gospel. It may | have been through meeting a Mace- | donian, possibly Luke, the beloved physician, who "joined his missionary party at this time, that Paul learned of | the needs of Macedonia. He saw the figure of the Macedonian man S!l‘r.mlnz before him and begging him to “come over into Macedonia and help us. Civilization Enters Europe. S | Paul was convinced that the vision | was a message from God summoning | him to enter Europe. Immediately he | tried to carry out the divine command. | He secured the earliest possible passage | and crossed the Hellespont, depending | upon the sustaining power of God for | the success of this missionary venture. | | Four hurdred years previously Xer: a mighty monarch. set forth an army of 2500000 men to con- quer Europe and failed. “Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord,” inspired Paul to at- tempt the conquest of Europe. The in- conspicuous band that landed with Paul in Greece attracted no attention. but according to Guizot, “They carried | civilizatiory into Europe.” His instruc- tion and influence have molded modern civilization, changed the character of men, and turned the streams of civili- | zation into new channels. | ‘When Paul reached Philippi he found a city that was different from those| where he had carried on his mission- ary work. Among the large number of Greek-speaking _inhabitants of this strong Roman colony. Paul could not in | his survey of the city find a single Jewish synagogue. He learned of a| few women who met for prayer upon the Sabbath by the riverside. It ap-| peared to offer the best point of con- tact with which to commence winning | the Roman Emptire for Christ and Hu‘v church. No newspaper carried the notice of that meeting, yet Paul dis- covered it, S0 he with his friends sought out the place on the riverside, where they joined the wemen in worship. Many would not have looked upon that small meeting as an excellent opening for the establishment of a church and the planting of Christian- ity in Europe. Paul had learned to| depend upon his Lord’s leadership, and he won that day for the Lord Jesus a “God-fearing” wcman, who possessed wealth and greater privileges than most Macedonian women. She was & native‘ of a section in Asia where Paul had desired to enter, but was prevented by the leadership of the Holy Spirit. She and the members of her household ac- cepted the gospel and were baptized. She had made her wealth as a seller of purple cloth. She showed her loyalty to Christ by requesting Paul to make her home the headquarters for their | work. Paul must have been impress>d accepting her offer of hospitality he | mace an extrzordinary excepiion to his practice and custom. Paul's Program. Paul in his letter to the Romansl revealed in the s2ctlon assigned for | our consideration this week that he had a vision of winning the Romln‘ Empire and the world for the Lorfl‘ Jesus, Black has pointed out that| when h: commenced his missionary | work in Europs “Paul was going | from the religious enlightenment of the | East into the spiritual paganism and dullness of the West.” When he en-| tered Eurcpe th: apostle was confident | that the Lord Jesus would see h'm’ through. Recounting the vast terri-| wory that he had explored end op2ned up for Christ, Paul pointed cut th2t he believed his first duty called for him to reach strategic centers, where | the gospel had not been prcached, so thet he could build the work up from the bezinning without using snother man’s foundations.

The church at Philippl was always loyal to him and generous in its of- ferings of assistance. He sent them “his swectest letter” because from the commencement of his work in Euxgre they had been true to Christ and His servant, Paul. SERMON COURSE TOPIC IS “RELIGIOUS QUEST” Dr. U. G. B.

For years it stood on the banks of the river, a crumbling tower with its supporting walls fading away. Today it stands there as it did yesterday, but with this exoeption: Above and about it is built a fine modern chapel. the National Colonial Dames of Amer- ica to the Association for the Preserva- tion of Virginia Antiquities. It was erected to save ‘ge ruins from further disintegration. There is a waslth of history about this old place. A wooden building with a brick foundation, it was built in 1617, the year in which Pocahontas died. The old tower was a square sort of battlement and the roof ran up on four sides to a peak in the middle, where a cross was planted above the high pitch. Flying buttresses marked the four sides. There were three lancet windows. Oth- ers were diamond shaped. At the front and back of the tower were two entrances, with arched door- ways. Somewhat higher were six loop- holes, a grim reminder that one often- This was the gift of | times must battle for one's life even when communing with one’s God. Could you have gone within in those days you would have found the place quaint to a degree. The pews, with straight wooden backs and impossible | seats, were crudely fashioned of hard wood. The dlamond windows that marked the walls were of glass, but un- stained. The aisles were paved with brick, while the chancel boasted a tiled floor. The gallery was next to the tower and the top of the room, of course, owed the rude beams of the support- ng roof. It was suggested that it might have been better to have restored the old place rather than to erect a chapel of modern sort. But, after much argu- | ment, it finally was agreed that it was | better to preserve the ruins as they | were rather than to replace them with | an_imitation. | . So the Old Ruined Church stands to- |day, safe from the devastating ele- ments. And so it probably will stand for many hundreds of years to come. | (Copyright, 1931.) ‘THE CALL TO AWAKEN’ IS SERMON SUBJECT Rev. Walter M.
