turn from these unreal things, to wor-
ship the everything God, the Creator
of earth and sky and sea and every
thing that is in them. In times gone
by He allowed all the nations to go
their own way; and yet by His beneti-
.cence He has not left His existence
unattested-His benehcence, | mean,
in sending rain from Heaven and
fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts
with food and joyfulness. Even with
words like these they had difficulty in
preventing the thronging crowd from
offering sacrifices to them"
These men were in apostolic sue
cession to John the Baptist, who said
He must increase but | must de-
crease" They were prophets from
the same school, Not unto us, o Je-
hovah, not unto us, but unto Thy
name give glory" This unprecedent-
ed ovation to themselves they used
merely as an opportunity for preach
ing the living God, whose humble SER
wants they were. 1t is a great man
who can take praises for himself and
turn them into a pulpit for the preach
ng of Christ, so that he himself is
forgotten.
Deifed. Then Mobbed
Every man who has observed life
has remarked upon the lickleness of
popular favor. The world seems TO
weave alternate crowns of laurel and
crowns of thorns for it's great. Hid
den in obscurity and poverty in many
parts of the land today are men and
women whose names won applause
and figured in the front pages of the
newspapers. There is no form of
success more unstable and unsatis-
factory than the applause of the
crowd The appetite for il has ruin
ed more men than have been inspired
by it. The simple truth is that any
body who is strong enough to lead the
multitude Alright, thus winning its
plaudits. is reasonably sure, if he re-
mains strong, to incur the enmity of
the multitudes by unpopular views.
If man has no better measure of
success than the buzzas of the crowd,
then he is in a sorry way indeed.
The heads of these missionaries
were not turned by the attempt at
apothesis. They went right on

preaching the Gospel. Nor were they
surprised when, in a short time, the
same people who had tried to engar-
land them stoned Paul and dragged
him out of the town, believing him to
be dead. That was an experience
which the missionaries could stand
better than they could the ovations
of the tickle multitude.
1t is worth remembering that the
disciples of Paul collected around him
when he lay as dead. Those were
courageous saints in the days when
discipleship meant persecution. The
early Christians knew how to die for
for Ii. Earnest Crosby's little poem
is pertinent
$50 he died for his faith. That is fine;
More than most of us do.
But stay, can you add to that line
That he lived for it, too?
1T is easy to die. Men have died
For wish or whim-
From bravado or passion or pride
Was It harder for him?
But to live; every day to live out
All the truth that he dreamt,
While his friends met his conduct with
doubt,
AnG the word with contempt
Was it thus that he plodded ahead
Never turning aside?
Then We'll talk of the life that he
led
Never mind how he died"
Men Who Could Not Be DOwned
one day Paul lay outside the gate Of
Lystra, apparently a corpse, bruised
bleeding, soiled: the next day we find
him on his way to Derbe and pro-
claiming the Good News there. His
fard times were not counted a rea-
son for running away from his work
Paul simply could not he discouraged
His only passion was for the preach
ing of the Gospel. He had no time
to think of wounds or WEAKNESS. With
him the work was the thing. There
is nothing that interferes with the ef-
ficiency OF a worker like beginning to

strange bedfellows. The Gentiles and
the Jews ceased from opposition to
each other to make common cause
against Paul and Barnabas. The
arguments they used were those of
force, stoning the men out of the city.
These doughty missionaries accepted
their expulsion from the city of Icon
ium as a call" to Lystra, where they
continued to tell the Good News.
Scared BY Success
The sort of preaching that does
things always attracts attention.
Among Paurs hearers one day was a
man who had been a cripple from
birth. a well-known town character, a
beggar on one of the principal high
ways. Him Paul healed with a word.
The restored cripple, leading and
shouting, told his tale to the city.
The crowd, always eager for some
novelty, were caught by this wonder
and they began to shout THE gods
have assumed human form and they
have come down to US" Here was a
sensation indeed-something to stim-
ulate the jaded interests of these city
dwellers. Calling Barnabas "Zeus" or
Jupiter" and Paul "Hermes" or
Mercury" they swiftly organized a
religious demonstration. The priest
If Zeus, eager to get all the credit
possible for his temple. brought bull
locks and garlands to the gate to offer
sacrifice to these men whom they ac-
claimed as gods.
Not many can resist adulation. The
EXTREMIST compliments are accepted by
most OF us as our due. 1t is diff
cult for n public speaker to think that
The flattering words with which he
is introduced do not represent the ju-
dicial appraisal of his real worth. But
these old missionaries were of differ
cnt sort. and the demonstration in
tended for them set to tearing their
clothes and showing an excitement
that no i'll treatment had ever aroused
in them. Nobody ever heard Paul
and Barnabas lamenting or wailing
when they we're mobbed. But when
they were being deified they crieu,
"Sirs. why are you doing all this
We also are but men, with nature
kindred to your own; and we bring

Paul never feared the place of hard

II count him great,
Who, by a life heroic, conquers fate"
That is a thrilling picture in the
gallery of Scripture which depicts
Paul and Barnabas retracing their
steps openly through the cities where
they har narrowly escaped death.
Making Fast the Work
At the siege of Ladysmith a man
was courtmartialed for being a dis
courager. Paul in this hard expert
ence returned in order to strengthen
the disciples by encouraging them to
hold fast to the faith. one might
think it was he that needed the en-
couragement. He laid down the prin-
ciple, ut is through many affections
that we must make our way into the
kingdom of God"
In every church in these centers of
persecution Paul and Barnabas held
meetings at which elders were elect
ed, and established the Church so that
the work would go on whether the
apostles were present or absent. Wise
with the wisdom of Holy Writ is that
worker who establishes his work so
that it will continue whether he lives
or dies. succeeds or fails.
