In 1806, ‘125 years ago to a day, a group of lchmmn students at Williams Colleg® | under the leadership of Samuel J. Mills |spent the day in fasting and prayer jat the side of a large stack of hay considering the question -of missions. that had for some time been a burden upon the heart of Mills. He found that the spirit of God had kindled the flame in the hearts of his fellow stu- dents that had been burning for some time in his heart. The haystack prayer meeting was the origin of the mission- ary movement in this country. A con- tury later, under the leadership of John B. Sloman and Samuel W. Woodward, outstanding leaders in the Washington | Y. M. C. A. and the Christian activi- |tles of the Nation's Capital, the men jand religion movement was started in New York City. Christian history shows a close vital connection between the spirituality of the churches and the origin of all mis- sionary movements. It is appropriate that upon the day that the American people will celebrate throughout the Nation ,the two events in the’r mis- sionary history ich have had an epoch-making character that we should consider in our Sunday school lessons the closing events in the career of. Paul as a missionary of the cross. In this moment, when the great missionary forces of our various churches face the opportunity for their greatest advances, there is a danger of retreat and re- trenchment, because the followers of the Lord Jesus in our land lack the world vision that dominated the daunt- less ambassador to the gentiles. Courageous Missionary. No history surpasses that of missions in its records of heroic personalities. Among all the men whose souls have been filled with the passion of the Lora Jesus, none has surpassed the Apostle Paul. The passage assigned for our study reveals how, following the riot in missionary journey to a close by secur- ing from the churches that he had es- lished a large offering -for the poor in the Jerusalem Church. In that con- nection he visited the churches in Mace- donia and Gréece, where, learning of a Elot against him, he decided to make is return trip by way of Macedonia. He was accompanied by Sopater, from the Berean Church; Aristarchus and Secundas, from the onica con- gregation; Gaius of Derbe and Timothy, as well as by Tychicus and Trophimus Roman Asia. These messengers from the churches visited Philippi, Troas an Assos, where Paul joined them, havipi proceeded from Troas to this port over- land, Brief stops en route at Mitylene, hios, Samos and Miletus were used to advance the cause of Christ at these ports. At Miletus they stayed long enough for a conference with the offi- clals of the church in esus. There the seashore he delivered a fare- them that he would neyer again. journey _toward Jerusalem touched at Cos, Rhodes, Patara and Phoenicia. They passed Cyprus. the scene of his first misionary endeavors, on their voyage to Tyre. Here during his week's stay the apostle was warned not to visit Jerusalem. They visited Ptolemais, and were entertained at Caesarea by Phillip, who had been elected a deacon by the Jerusalem Church. While there Paul was warned by Agabus, a prophet, of the peril he would face in Jerusalem. The cour- le, probably recalling how his Lord had refused to heed llar warnings when He made His last visit to Jerusalem, declined to change his lans. While at Caesarea he arranged for the entertainment of his party in 8 | Jerusalem, at the home of Mnason, & Cypriot Jew. Jerusalem Reception. Luke passed over many details of Paul’s reception by the church in Jeru- salem, who accepted the generous gifts that he brought them from the mission- ary churshes that he had organ tor there is not a word of appreci: of his efforts or gifts. Probably they have sent Agabus to warn him. e officers arranged for a public hearing by the church to permit Paul to tell of his work. There was a division about his efforts with the gentiles among the members of the church. Some were evi- dently displeased by his success and showed their displeasure. Others re- Joiced in his victories for Christ. James and the other leaders pro- ! posed to Paul that he could remove the division within the church if he would prove his Joyalty to the law by a public Their proposal revealed their confidence in Paul and did not call for him to violate any principle for which he had contended. He was asked strate his devotion to the law by paying the cost of several poor persons who de- sired to participate in the levitical ceremony of purification. Paul agreed to their suggestion, hoping that he could at least demcnstrate that he was an observer of all the requirements of the law by keeping this ordinance. Attack, Arrest, Address. We do not know whether the apostle's concession had the desired effect upon the church or not. Some | Greek Jews, possibly from Ephesus, started a tumult in the temple, where he was fulfilling his vow. They had seen a gentile with him in Jerusalem that he had carried one into_the for- bidden part of the temple. The bar- rier, that warned gentiles danger, is now in a museum in Con- stantinople, where it was taken when found by the Mohammedans, in Jer- ! not have permitted any gentile Chris- tian to go beyond that barrier. Without investigating the truth, the temple was socn filled with the cries of a mob, who made an attack upon Paul and probably would have killed him then and there, except for the fact thas they were within the temple area. Tne noise of -the shouting crowd brought the Roman guards, wno saved Paw. from the mob. While they were taku.g Paul to priscn, he asked the aptan in Greek, the language of cul- from the prison steps. Convinced that Paul was a man of high standing and culture and not what he expected, the privilege was granted. Here, in an address that revealed his love for the Jewish people, the apostle recalled their past and spoke of his conversion and experience. They were thrilled by | his remarks until he attempted to ex- ) plain and defend his efforts to win the gentiles by preaching that Jesus was the Messiah, who had died to save them. |, When the tumult broke out afresh : the captain of the guard ordered Paul Juniors thhu:fmnm> Albert Schmidt | to be brought into the castle and will lead evening at 7:30.

It was this portion of the old mission that was recently reconstructed by the Landmarks Club. The mission thrived and prospered until 1812, when an earthquake visited the district and razed the tower and other portions of the buildings. From that time, the decline of the old mis- sion began. For many years it has been known as “The Melrose Abbey of America,” and it was because of the innate beauty and charm of the ruins that the recle- mation of the church was brought about.
