The Debate In School.
Driven by opposition out of the
Jewish synagogue, Paul carried his
teaching and discussions out into the
school of Tyrannus. There he debated
daily with all corners. Paul was never
greatly disturbed by being put out OF
the church. He was no example for
the modern preacher who, when for

create friction, ever thereafter cher

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON AND
YOUNG PEOPLES MEETINGS
News of Interest to Church Goers By a
Writer Who is An Authority on Religious
Subjects. The International Lesson for
Next Sunday.

Paul was not one of those mission
aries who make more noise at home
than they do abroad; whose work
looms larger in the printed reports
and in the telling to home churches
who actually see 1t on the ground. Nor
was he OF that company Of evangelists
who employ press agents to report
their successes in distant fields to the
centers from which they draw. or hope
to draw, a stipend.
For to Paul's mind the work was the
thing. His heart yearned for the battle
ground, like old DR.. Hunter Corbett,
who would not wait to finish his term
as Moderator of the Presbyterian Gen
eral Assembly, but who fastened back
to his field in China. He would rather
preach in China villages than preside
and be lionized at elaborate functions
in America. OF him it is told that re.
turning to China from furlough he
began to preach to the natives as soon
as he set foot upon the jetty, even be.
fore he had greeted his family.
An Echo Of the Baptist.
An interesting figure enters the
story here, one Apollos, an Alexan.
drian Jew. He was of the type of the
scholarly man Of letters, ready in de
bate and equipped by research for
thorough controversy. The Alexan
drian spirit, which applied the Greek
standards Of the scholarship to the
Hebrew scriptures, was personified In
Apollos. Now Apollos knew John the
Baptist's teaching. and the promised
Messiah, but he was ignorant that
Christ had already come and lived
and died. Yet he was true to the best
that he knew, and up to the limits Of
his knowledge he preached his gospel
in Ephesus, powerfully confoundine
the Jews.
The churches which are not awake
to the whole truth, are typified by
Apollos and Ephesian converts. We re
call the great body Of Armenian Chris
tians, and the Coptic church and the
Greek church, and the Orthodox Rus
sian church, which, through intellec
tual torpor and spiritual decline have
lost much of the treasure of the uni
versal Christian church. What shall
we say to them? Shall we follow in the
train Of the Christians of an older day
and brand them as heretics? Surely
not. The temper of the time is to LEAD
all these on to a fuller knowledge

OLD TIES AND NEW WORK.
The international Sunday School Les
son for August is Ia APaui's Third
Missionary Journey - Ephesus."
Acts 1928; 1922.
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

One Of the everyday tragedies OF llfe
is the breaking Of old ties by progress
sive persons who have gone into a
new life. Young people who have left
the humble old home to go to college,,
return and find themselves living in a
different world which does not speak
the language of that In which they are
reared. All about us we see prominent
and successful men and women whose
families we never inquire. They have
had to make a fresh life for them
selves. Some are all to quick to break
with the past, and to forget those to
whom they owe all; but even many
who would carry their families and old
associates with them find 1t fmposs1-
BILE to do so. Paul, the great apostle
to the Gentiles, was nevertheless a
Jew. and his heart ever yearned for
his own people. Daily he prayed for
them, and with all his tact and ten
fIerness and wisdom he sought to keep
in close relationship with them. When
ever he approached a new community
it was to the synagogue that he imme-
diately repaired. His pride was that he
was a Hebrew of the Hebrews. Yet
alas! his own people continually cast
him out.
Despite innumerable mobbings, Paul
kept his Hebrew affiliations. In the
present lesson we find him ending his
second missionary journey in order to
go up to Jerusalem to fulfill a VOW
He made the long Journey up to the
city Of David with the inextinguish.
able love for that spot which has char
acterized the devout Jew throughout
all ages-and in the temple courts he
fulfilled all the rites Of an orthodox
Jew.
The Things Men Celebrate.
Nothing is said in the record about
the reception given the great apostle
by the church at Jerusalem. Apparent
.ly he had no triumphial entry. 1t is
more than possible that the Judaized
Christians were cold to this apostle te
The Gentiles. 1t is more probable, how
ever, that the historian, with a fine
sense of proportion, records only the
work of the evangelization and no
he home quotations. Luke like Paul
had supreme interest in the field.

should be reared. That, happily, is the
mood Of the day.
That, too, was the mood of Pauls
day. Apollos was not cast out as
hereto There were two friends OF
the gospel, Aquila and Priscilla, who
seem ever to have been satisfied to
keep In the background and to be
helpers Of others. What part they had
as the strengtheners, supporters and
comforters of Paul we can only imag-
Inc. When they learned Of Apollos's
preaching, they did not rise UP in the
synagogues and hurl criticisms at his
head. nor did they set to flowing that
subtle current Of consciousness which
Is swifter than all the waters that CIR
die the earth. Instead they took him
aside and expounded to him fully the
way Of life. Would that our churches
were full of Aquilas and Priscillas!
Then the preacher who Is now criti,
cised for his crudities and rawnesses
and plumbers and shortcomings would
be helped, in quiet, brotherly fashion,
to fulfill larger mission. Who knows
but that even this preacher, whose
message is SO far below the truth you
yourself know, may yet be veritable
Apollos?
Religions Best for All.
Undoubtedly, too, there were richer
spiritual manifestations given to the
apostolic church than are given now
Possibly these gifts of tongues and
prophecies and healing were necessary
for the pioneering stage Of the gospel
In any case, it must remain true thai
these gifts were not an end, but 8
means. They were not to be sought fol
themselves, but for what they could
bring to pass in the proclamation oi
Christ. Herein is the blunder of the
sects who are still arising in our owl
time, exalting to supreme place What
they call the gift of tongues. There is
a tragic side to the spiritual citation
not to say hysteria, of those who con
slider themselves so gifted.
On the mission fields | heard man,
stories of companies who had gone on
to the foreign fields expecting to re
ceive the gift of tongues. but not in {
single instance were their expecta
