The meeting Church tomorrow by Ann Richter at United Brethren evening will be led | Cise faith and confidence in the hours | clues of what Paul may have done after his discharge as the close of his hearing upon his appeal to Caesar In all probavility, Paul hastened to visit the church in Macedonia and then made Ephesus his headquarters for a season. We can accept it, as al- ertain, that he went to Corinth to Erastus, whose name has been found in the excavations of that city ‘This 1 m as the procurator of that gr #nd a public benefactor. He and Gallio, the brother of Seneca who was the proconsul of Achaia, and the immediate superfor of Erastus, were the apostle’s fnends. Through their reports about Faul they may have played a prominent part in securing his freedom, Naturally the apostl would want to se them and visit the cities and churches, where they wor- shiped the Christ Paul's missionary work in Crete, wiere he left Titus to organize the churches that had grown out of the apostle's efforts, must have been done after his imprisonment. In all probability, Faul after visiting the brethren in the E: would attempt to | reach Spain with the Gospel. Allowing | a period of two years for this work would_account for the establishment of the “Christian Churches among Jewish proselytes who are to_be found in all| the great cities fom Tarraco to Gades along the Spanish coast.” Clement tells | us that Paul “had gone to the extrem- | ity of the west, before his martyrdom.” Chrysostom reconds that he went to Spain after his residence in Rome. In| Muratori’s Canon we find a reference to the fact that Luke had omitted from | the Acts “the journey of Paul to Spain.” | Facing (he End. | Paul was facing the end of evidently | another trial and was suffering the infirmities of years, which were made | | more intense and painful by his im prisonment in a 4ark, damp dungeon in | the Mamertine 5son, when he sent the second letter to Timothy. While it dealt, like his letter to Titus, with problems of church government, both contain vital suggestions and princi- | ples that ought to guide us in the se- | lecting of church leaders in our own| ay. | In his second Jetter to Timothy, we | probably have Saul's last epistle. ' We | expect to find in the last words of any outstanding leader the essence of their philosophy and the fundamentals of | their faith. There is the spirit of a conqueror in Puuls words. He sought | to stimulate and stir up Timothy along the lines where Paul knew he was weak, by vummoning him to exer- of darkness, difficulty and disappoint- | ment, when he faced defection, de- generacy and desertion by professed friends. In this way he tried to pass | on to Timothy “the blazing torch.” | calling upon him to carry on his work, by recalling his record. He knew that his life was being peured out like a drink offering, be- cause he was certain that the time of his execution was not far distant. Of his work the apostie could well say: “1 have fought the good fight, I have fin- ished the course, I have kept the faith; Lenceforth there is laid up for me & crown of righteousness.” Like the Lord Jesus and Stephen, whose martyrdom had played an important part in his conversion, Paul faced the end with a Sunday School Lesson Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson. By | may have all that they require” Evi- | dently he realized that the Christian lawyer and the eloquent orator could aid his defense. Come what would, Paul was ready. Are we prepared to meet our Lord? Have we fought the good fight and kept the faith?

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE TOPIC “God the Only Cause and Creator” to Be Discussed Tomorrow. “God the Only Cause and Creator” is | the subject of the lesson-sermon in all | the Churches of Christ, Scientist, to- | morrow. The golden text is from Deu- teronomy, vi4-5: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: and thou | shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” Among the citations which comprise | the lesson-sermon is the following from | the Bible: “And he said unto them, go ye into all the world, and preach the confidence in the future, expecting that he would pass through the coming trials a conqueror. His life had been a fight for the faith and he had been loyal to it. His efforts to establish a spiritual conquest for the Lord Jesus had called for "struggle, sacrifice, self-denial and service, but he was not ashamed of his record as he faced the end. He was sure of his reward when he faced the Lord Jesus, the righteous Judge, who would pass upon his works and bestow upon him the crown of righteousness. We reap what we sow, so Paul claims all who are faithful will receive that crown if they love Christ’s appearing. Heart Throbs. We turn from the spiritual warrior, Lappy in his faith, assured of victory ence of his Lord, to note some of the human elements in the apostle’s life. When the end draws near the greatest, as well as the least, feel the longing for Paul to long to see those whose lives had shared with him the conflicts for their Lord. Most of them were absent upon mission among the churches. Paul was an: to learn about the churches and longed for them to return to give him the latest news of the spiritual life among the people that he loved and whom he held before the throne of grace dally in his prayers. He felt keenly Demas and the sibly because of their personal fear of their own lives, or, as in the case of Demas, attracted by the love of the world and its riches, had left Paul in the hour of his need. His heart vearned for the presence of Timothy, whom he urged to return to him as quickly as possible. He wanted him to bring along the heavy traveling cloak that he had left at the home of one of the disciples in Troas. It would help keep him warm in the prison, which, because it was dark and damp, made his phys- ical suffering more severe and harder to bear. He longed to have near him for reference and reading some of the papyrus documents that he had left at Ephesus. Among the library he had left there were possibly a few prized vellum rolls, upon which were written portions of the Hebrew Scriptures and probably some notes of the sayings of Jesus that he had learned from some disciples who had hearq the Lord speak. Then he wanted to see John Mark, the man over whom he had quarreled with Barnabas, claiming that he was a quit- ter, vet Paul realized his error, for he speaks of his worth and helpfuiness. We can not identify the Alexander who had wronged Paul, but the apostle knew that Timothy would realize whom he referred to, and why he should watch him. He had faced his first hearing and knew that he could count upon the Lord, who had delivered him from & greater danger, Tor he had been saved for a greater task.

Va L is “Service That Seeks No to the lions of the coliseum or amphi- theater, where many Christians had died for their faith. Facing the end, Paul urged Titus to “help Zenas, the lawyer, forward on his journey with special care, and Appollos, 50 fhat they, and conquest when he entered the pres- | gospel to every creature. And these signs shall follow them that believe; in | my name shall they cast out devil they shall speak with new tongues; the | shall “take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not | hurt them; | the sick, and they shall recover.” (Mark | 36: 15, 17, 18). The lesson-sermon also includes the following passage from the | Christian Science Text Book, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” | by Mary Baker Eddy “Spiritually to understand that there is but one Cree ator, God, unfolds all creation, confirms the Scriptures, brings the sweet assur- | ance of no parting, no pain, and of | man_deathless and perfect and eter- nal.” (Page 69.) | | | B.
