his father decided to quit the sea and
emigrated with his family to the state

(By William r. Ellis.)

The test of the success Of an evan
gelistic campaign comes year after
the evangelist has gone. Nobody can
give a true judgment of revival meet
ings while they are at their height.
The. adventures of Paul and his COM
panions, exciting, sensational and
dramatic, have engaged the thought of
the Sunday schools for weeks past.
Now we come to ask what traces
could be found year later of his
great experiences and utterances in
these cities of Macedonia and Asia
Minor. We are not left to surmise.
There is clear record, That record
is found in the letters of the apostle,
one of which is, the basis of today's
Sunday school lesson. In these docu-
ments we find pictures of the churches
founded by Paul that attest the abid-
ing results of His work.
Today we have the letter to the
Thessalonians as a supplement to last
weeks study Of Paurs adventures in
Thessalonica. -

The Letter and the Story.

r.
Superficial and ignorant readers of
the bible do not put two and two to-
gether. It never occurs to them that
the familiar passages in the epistles to
the Thessalonians have anything to do
with the narrative in the Book of Acts.
Yet one is needed to make clear the
other. This Is the time to find out all
possible about Salonjka, the city, the
people and it's religious history. Three
sorts of documents are available In to-
days lesson-1, the letter to the Thes-
salonian Christians; 2, Luke's history
in the Book of Acts, and 3, the place
itself. . -.z r.
There is need. to emphasize the
simple point that Thassalonica was a
real place; and that the Thessalonian
Christians were real people, and that
Paul, the author, was a real person.
He wrote to his friends and converts
just as a teacher or preacher or a
parent would write today. He was not
formulating texts for ministers to base
sermons upon. He had no idea that
what he was writing would be studied
by thirty million persons nineteen
centuries later. He was writing pri-
marily and only for flesh and blood
Christians with real >problems and per-
plexities, whom he loved and who
needed his counsel. Unless we get
that situation firmly in mind, our bible
study will be unreal.
