old proverb. Man is an incurably
religious animal" One of several
phases of a Billy" Sunday campaign
more remarkable than the evangel-
lists preaching is the vast outpouring
of people. Church-goers and non
Church goers, who are frankly inter-
ested in vital religion.
The scenes on Madison Square, in
the Sunday Tabernacle, at the great
Christian campmeeuings and confer
ences and conventions, are linked his
toriCally by a fundamental tie, with
the riot at Jerusalem which resulted
in the arrest of Paul. For they all
spell mans supreme interest in relig-
ion. No other question ever arouses
so earnest a discussion as religion.
Because everybody has within his
own heart what Wordsworth beauti-
fully calls "Intimations of immortal
ity," he is concerned with the ques-
tion Of another life and another
world. The preacher who thinks he
must preach upon sensational topics.

of famous religious weekly concern
ing a popular" minister of his city,

student of human nature. Religion,
IN every fresh, genuine, vital express
sion, is the most interesting subject
in the world. That proposition can
be proved by great array of present
day evidence.
An II Am Ready Man
1t was question: OF religion that
set the city of Jerusalem by the ears,
as IL attempted to mob the apostle
Paul; even as it had been a question
of religion that had crowded the great
theater at Ephesus with a noisy mob.
Before we get to the riot that led
to Rome, we should recall the cir
cumstances. Paul had journeyed
steadfastly to Jerusalem, though
warned by loving friends. some of
whom had the prophet-gift that
bonds and imprisonment and death
awaited him. His answer to the
friends in the house of Philip of
Caesarea revealed the man, What
can you mean by thus breaking my
heart with your grief? Why, as for
me, l am ready not only to go to
Jerusalem and be pat in chains. But
even to die there for the sake of the
Lord Jesus"

stream the people towards the tenn

it is all about; in that respect they
were typical mob. We behold Paul
violently siezed and carried outside Of
the temple area.
He is almost done to death. and
his end is near. when little com
pany of Roman soldiers approach.
See the mob make way like the
waters of the Red Sea before the
Children of Israel. Rome's authority
had to be respected. and a quick path
was made to the center of the hub
bub, where the victim of the riot was
rescued. The Romans knew if NOT

quest to this day, a message that Is
echoed from every battlefield of the
great war. 1t is an easy and noble
thing to die for a great cause. The
dead are not to be pitied, but the
slackers and the shirkers, the miser-
able creatures who have purchased
personal safety and comfort at the
price of honor Pity the person who
has no conviction and no cause for
which he would gladly give up his
life. Envy. if you will, those great
souls who, like Paul, rejoice to burn
out for God and their fellowmen.
The clarion call of the great apostle
comes ringing down the ages, bid
ding us to live greatly and to dare
greatly and to suffer greatly in a great
time like the present.
A beautiful picture is painted by
Luke IF the tender ties that strongly
bound those early Christians togeth-
er. Pauls journey to Jerusalem was
one prolonged sacrament of friend
ship. At Jerusalem, James and the
brethren greeted the missionary low
ingly, and assembled to hear his
story. What privilege was theirs,
to hear hot from the lips of Paul
himself the narrative of the great
experiences which the Sunday schools
nave Deen studying Tor montnS past.
The conciliatory spirit of the fiery
apostle is shown by his sharing the
ceremonial vow of four fellow Chris
tian Jews, to prove that he had not
repudiated the law of Moses.
Even this precaution did not avail
to satisfy the enemies of the Gospel,
for these, having seen him on the
street with Trophimus the Ephesian,
assumed that he had taken the Greek
into the temple. That story had the
same foundation as most scandals
concerning public men. "They say"
is no warrant for believing ill of
anybody. And to repeat a slander
concerning a person, unless we have
first hand law-proof evidence, is not
only sinful, but criminal. The point
is one to be borne in mind during q
political campaign.
When The City Turned Out
Like good reporter, DIR. Luke
knew how to write vivid picture of
a mob. We see the Jews from Asia
raising the false charge that would
create a religious issue. We hear the
clamor OF their voices. We follow
the mob cry as it runs from narrow
street to narrow street, through the

Lesson For Sept. 10 THE
Arrest of Paul"
(By William L. Ellis.)

few days ago one blazing noon,
I circulated amid the throngs of men
listening to soap-boX orators in Mad
ison Square, New York. This spot
has come to be a forum for the dis
oussion of issues which the working
men deem most alive and important.
There were four meetings under way
at the same time. What was my sur
prise to find that none was upon So
cialism or single tax or woman suf-
frage or the garment makers strike
but that all four were dealing with
some aspect of religion, One was a
discussion, rather tumultuous, among
Jews, over the Ten Commandments
One was a straightout evangelistic
service, conducted by the Churches.
Another was a rather inchoate pres
entation of the social implications of
Christianity, while the fourth, and
largest was a joint debate on the his
toricity of Jesus.
1t would have been we'll if every
newspaper editor, every preacher,
every law-maker and every teacher
in North America could have studied
that dramatic evidence of the present
popular interest in religion. Those
hundreds. or thousands. of toilers
spent the greater part OF their lunch
hour in standing in the broiling sun.

religion. The war bulletins had no
