FOR JANUARY 4.

Thus Paul and SfIas shed the first
blood of Christian martyrs on European
soil Those blood drops We're prophetic
tokens of coming conquest. The blood OF
The martyrs was going to prove the seed
OF the church For every glObuIe of
blood shed. there was soon going to be
a convert. The progress of Christianity
in the world can be traced by the bloody
tracks of its messengers. It's conquest
comes through its spirit of self-sacrifice
and willingness to suffer for the cause
OF goodness and righteousness. 1t be
gins TO reform the world. morally and
spiritually. and yes. physically, too,
wherever it touches it. But the world
spirit fights it; resents its interference
and tries 10 destroy it, Christianity'A
first battle in Europe was against greed
Conversion of the Jailer.
It was one Of PauI's notices that ev-
erythfng works together for good 10 those
that loved God. All things were con
vergfug for good at this painful crisis.
From the wrath OF the populace, the
bIunder Of the magistrates. and the
harsh imprisonment of the bleeding mis-
sionaries was TO come the conversion TO
Christ of the iailer. This result was
worth all The suffering it cost In the
first place. Paul and Silas set a wonder
ful example Of patience in the face Of
Injustice. passion. and wrong. and Of
Christian fortitude in the midst of pain
disappointment. and great distress. They
sang praises TO God in the night from
deep within the prison walls Most peo-
pie would have been nursing their
wounds. and bemoaning their grievances
under such circumstances as theirs. This
attitude Of tho great apostle and his
companion toward God is most wonder
full. unequaIed except by those who have
been sustained by a similar faith in
Christ. Cicero. though he had publish
ed whole volumes Of lofty exhorta lions. 80
yet during a short exile there is scarce
" one Of his many letters written at the
time which Is not full Of unmanly lam
entations. Seneca. when he was exiled,
broke down into abject complaints. Paul
by his conspicuous example teaches Us
how to trust God in the night of sorrow,
of sickness, and pain. OF disappointment.
loss. and disaster What d strange
sound the other prisoners heard issuing
from these Christian preachers dungeon
at the hour of midnight; not that of
cursing and rawlings. but of prayer and
praise The prison for the time being
was turned into a temple
No wonder that the prisoners lay
awake and listened. Strange congre-
CATION it was: The prisoners in their
cells. A wonderful answer came to their
The Washington times., 1903-01-03

prayers. What the missionaries pray
ed for We do not know. It may have
been for release from suffering, as was
right; but we have no doubt that their
most earnest prayer was that God would
make his cause more successful through
their sufferings; that the infant church
might be stTengthene and many be
converted from their sins. How the an
swer would come they could not know.
nor did 1t much matter. Answers to
prayer very often come in the most IN
expected ways" Suddenly an earth
quake shook the prison so violently
that all the doors were opened, and
everyones bands were loOsed- The
earthquake aroused the jaiIer from his
slumbers also, and, seeing that some
thing unusual had happened. and that
all the prison doors were open, sup
posed that, of course, all the prison
ers had broken out of Jail. and knowing
that the Roman law held a jailer per-
scnally responsible for the safekeeping
of his charges, despaired of his own life,
and in his chagTin and desperation,
drew his sword. and was about to COM
NIT suicide, when Paul called to him
to do himself no harm, assuring him
that all his prisoners were still in their
places. The despair of the jailer and
his decision to kill himself are typical
of the worlds despair and its spirit OF
hopelessness at times, as well as its
.TeckIessness. There had been a spir-
ituaI earthquake in the jailer's soul. He
knew then his own need of divine grace
and help-his need of salvation. PauIs
words to him gave him sudden hope.
His conduct now typi1es the act of
man seeking the salvation that comes
from God Out OF his darkness out of
his wretchedness. he runs to the mes
sengers OF heaven to discover the way
OF salvation. His question is historical.
What must l do to be saved?" Paul
answers in substance: DO nothing;
only believe in the Son of Cod" He
points him to the grace of God as mani
tested in Jesus Christ. Thank God for
a salvation by faith. 1t IS simple. It
is all sufficient It is inspiring. It is
revolutionary in experience It is trans
forming It is e-giving. Il unites
the soul to the living God. It fills with
love 1t bears fruit in obedience, and
good works 1t fits one 10 live well.
and gives one peace that the forces
Of the world cannot shake. The jaiier
showed the reality of his faith and con
version by his eageTness to hear the
word of the Lord, by washing PauI's
wounds. by feeding him, by processing
his faith by the act Of Christian baptism.
