JESUS’ CRY IS TOPIC . Irving Ketchum to Preach at Peck Memorial.. At Peck Memorial Chapel tomorrow at 11 am. Rev. Irving Ketchum will take for his sermon subject *“That Strange Cry of Jesus on the Cross: My God, My God, Why Hast Thou R PAUL IN THESSALNOICA AND BEREA. Acts, xvii.1-15; I Thess., ii.1-12. Golden text—"“Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous thlinp! out of thy law.” Psalm cxix.18. Once more we follow Paul in his mis- sionary journey with “the fadeless plth‘ of light across the history of the years.” Following his sufferings and success in Philippi, the unwearied ambassador to the Gentiles traveled westward along the eat Roman highway until Thessalon- ica was reached. This large, rich and influential center of commerce was one of the most strategic cities, as it is today, for Salonica plaved a prominent art in_the campaigns of the World War. "Paul and nis companions were there by the fact that the synagogue of the Jews there gave them a point of contact with which they expected to win Thessalonica for the Lord Jesus. Following his usual practice of at- tending the religlous services of the Jewish synagogue, Paul in a ministry of three weeks, although he without doubt labored longer in Thessalonica, | remarkable churches in Europe. In fact, that little body of believers grew and in_the “seething tumults of the ages following, they revealed the power of God in their life and labor, standing firm and proving up to the present the | character of their faith.” During the middle ages, this church was a bul- wark of Christianity. Paul's Missionary Message. In his epistle to the Thessalonians, which is recognized as the earliest written part of the New Testament, Paul gives us an insight into the na- ture of his ministry in the free city. that elected its own rulers, who were called “politarchs.” Luke's accuracy {as a historian has been established by the discovery of ancient inscriptions re. ferring to the city rulers of Thessa- lonica as “politarchs.” Paul supported himself by working at his trade during the week days. He utilized the oppor- tunity presented on the Sabbath to rea- son with the Jews out of the Scriptures. In his expositions of the Old Testament the apostle taught that the prophecies had foretold the coming of a suffering Messiah, who should die and rise again, and he claimed that in Jesus these pre- dictions had all been fulfilled. His gospel pointed out that in this suffer- ing and risen Christ there is pardon. peace, comfort, joy. eternal life for sin- ful men; forgiveness, cleansing and all possible blessings that can come from God's unhindered and everlasting love. Paul refutes the slanders of his en- emiés and their charges that he used | “sophistry, claiming that he used deceit !and flattery, asserting that he planned to make money out of his converts." He recalled his suffering, sacrifices and spirit during the period when he labored without cost to them night and day to plant the gospel in their hearts. His gentle spirit in dealing with them was like the devotion that a “nursing moth- er cherishing her children delighted to %h‘e not only her milk but her very fe" for them. Success Starts Strife. Paul succeeded in winning some out- him and champion the cause of Chfis- tianity. Many Greek proselytes ac- cepted the Lord Jesus as their Savior. A large number of the prominent wom- en of the city gave up idolatry and he- came enrolled with the followers of the risen Christ. Through these last two classes the missionaries were brought into contact with other Greeks and women whom they won for the Master and they identified themselves with the church. The success of Paul's ministry among these classes filled some of the Jews with a spirit of envy. These conserva- tive members of the syn:gogue thought the apostle's success would be destruc- tive of their national traditions, teach- moved to open up missionary work succeeded in starting one of the most | THE - EVENING STAR; WASHINGTON, D.

Priends warned Faul and protected the missioniries from the danger that threatened them. Jason was compelled to bear the brimt of the.gangsters’ effort to arouse the muititude. ‘When he was arrestea and brought before the city rulers they al- lowed Jason and his friends to go free, when they had given bonds to maintain the peace of the city. Ramsay believes “that the existence of this bond with its deposit of money wes the reason salonica again and he refers to that when he speaks of Satan hindering his return.” The brethren sent Paul away that night to another fleld of labor, but the result of his efforts in Thessalonica have been seen in the history of that church’s efforts to advance Christ's Paul had won a great triumph, el though his persecutors had won an ap- parent victory. The apostle’s enemies Lad resisted any interference with ex- isting profitable customs. Humanity the same spirit of resentment.

Men are slow to change | either opinions or habits, but when | Paul reached Berea he found Jews with open minds and hearts. | * The Noble Bereans. Paul and Silas received a hearty wel- come from the Jews of that city when they attended worship in th> Bercan Synagogue. ‘The rabbi evidently pos- sessed 8 broad and open mind. He searehed, and probably urged his peo- | ple to search, the Scriptures and learn for themselves whether Paul's claims were in accordance with God's revealed | will to His people. There he reasoned with them out of the Scriptures, as he | had in Thessalonica, pointing out the prophecies concerning a suffering Mes- siah. Whenever they cited a tradition | of their faith, Paul appealed to the Old Testament as the basis for his view | that Jesus had “tread the wine press alone” and that “H> was despised and rejected of men.” His gospel centered | around the cross and the resurrection. Following the example of the Master on the way to Emmaus, Paul showed con- clusively that the Scriptures predicted that_the Messiah's suffering would lead to_glory. Paul’s appeal to the Scriptur~s had |a far different result in B-rea than it did in Thessalonica, for “they received | the word with readiness of mind, ex- amining the Scriptures daily, whether thes> things wore s0.” They tested the | teachings of Paul by the revelations that | had been made to Israel by th> prophets. | The apostle commended their candor, | courtesy and culture. ‘The Bible is still | our supreme authority in all mattets | concerning re'igion.
