The Lesson Deals With Paul and His Old Friends at Ephesus--PauI
 Made Many Friends.
(BY WILLIAM n. ELLIs.l !

Nnh WILLIAM Y. ELLIS.)
 Heart ties are strongest. The "old Home Week." which Is coming so wide ly into vogue, gathers within It's in- tiuence the busiest men of the time, who find 1t possible to lay aside multi tudes of expressing cares in order to renew the sentimental associations of the fundamental, personal, human re- lationships. There is no more appeal ing touch in the story of the travels of the great Apostle Paul than the narra- tive of how, when ending his mission ary trip, he could not resist the op- portunity to meet again with his friends at Ephesus and to bid them farewell. The episode is quite like what may be seen by a traveller upon almost any through train. For occas- lonally at certain stations. friends and kindreds will come to greet travellers, If only for a few minutes Like a glimpe of the old home through a train window. was PauPs touch with Ephesus as he interrupted his Journey at Miletus.
 Despite his cosmolitanism and statesmanship and philosophy and vast administrative cares, this man Paul had time and aptitude for making friends. He was more than a leader and worker; he was comrade and counsellor. A flood of light is thrown upon his character by the fact that when he started back to Jerusalem on this third missionary journey he was accompanied as far as Asia by seven friends. At Miletus the leaders of the Ephesus Church came down to greet him. The occasion was not merely a formal recognition of the passing by of the foremost ecclesiastical official of the Christian community; 1t was Paul. the fatherly friend, who drew them.
 The Personal Ties.
 A boy would rather go to a circus than see a friend; his grandfather would rather meet with an old friend than see all the circuses that ever came to town AS we grow older the per sonal ties become more precious. Youth is interested In things, age Is inter- ested in people. In early life we do not perceive the supreme value of the associations that we form and of the friends that we make. This Is a les son that is taught only by time. A wise old man knows that a friend Is the best fortune. All the wonders of the great cities through which he trav- eled meant less to Paul than the glimpse of a familiar face and the sound of a loved voice.
 One of the byproducts of service is fellowship. The person who goes Into Christian work does not reckon with this factor at first, but as the years pass he finds that in the common labor for O common Lord he has been drawn

The Third Journey The Fine
 Rewards Of Friendship

close to a company of kindred spirits who. he discovers. are his best friends Thus he gradually perceives the pro- found truth that one of the greatest rewards of Christian service Is Chris ton fellowship. Not only has he been a laborer together with God, but he has also learned the privilege and de light of being a laborer together with Gods other fellow workers.
 Dean Bosworth, of Oberlin College, has said that thero are four things which bind men most closely together: the first is common hope, the second is a common work, the third is deliver ance from a common peril, and the fourth Is loyalty to a common friend. On this quadrilateral Christians ind themselves united in a community Of interest that constitutes the strongest bond in he world. The great eOmbina- tion of politics and of business and of self-exploitation all have in them the elements of disintegration; but tho tie that binds Christians together grows stronger with the passage of years. In our own day there Is dis- cernible a tendency to stress the sacredness and value of the Christian fellowship. The various brotherhoods In the churches are asking themselves the question: Why should not our Christian fellowship mean more to us,
 
 ship in any secret or fraternal orRani- zations, or than any of those acciden- tai ties of propinquity, politics, or business? When the sense of her unity once possesses the Christian Church. she will move with irresistible impact upon those social evils which thus far have presented an almost unshaken front to the world.
 The Korean Escort.
 The Oriental custom, which Is mar rated in this passage in PauIS life, of conveying a friend on his way. has persisted to this day. From Coriuth and Thessalonica deputations of leading Christians 1ourneyed part way with Paul Then, after his meeting with the Ephesian elders at Miletus. they brought him on his way unto the ship" One of the delights of Japanese social life Is the custom of escorting to the train one who is about to take Journey, and of meeting him in force when he returns. Repeatedly have seen large deputations of Japanese at the train to bid welcome or farewell to travelling friends. Two young wo- men from America had gone to Japan to join the Southern Methodist Mis- sion at Hiroshima. and they were greeted at the station by a company of no less than three hundred persons.
 One morning left the city of Pyeng Yang. in northern Korea. long before daylight to travel through the wintry darkness to the railway station. some three miles distant. It was a time when one would be tempted to sit as close to his own tlreside as possible: {:

May 1t uot be said that one of the sources of strength and glory of the churches of today Is in the noble host of men and women who bear office and. with uDmeasured and slad- ly-given toll. guard the welfare of the cause of Christ. and serve mankind with sacrifice and in the spirit of the Master?
