Some fellow up in Fort Worth tele-

wanted the reporter to send him fifty
words telling how it happened They
did not split nor are they going to

vention which met in Fort Worth,
Texas, elected the Rev. DR.. J. E.
Woods, Of Danville, Kentucky, presi-
dent Dir. E. P. Jones, objected to the
change, and called out his friends and
organized another convention in the
A. NJ E. Church. Whether this IS
true or not | am not prepared to say,
but as soon as get back in the
United States / am going to find out
and let you know You should know
and you must know.
I do know that the greatest Of all
tricksters is DR.. E. P. Jones, and he
is ahead of the man who invented
tricks, He went in to take from the
Baptists of America the National Bap-
fist convention and when he failed
then he comes forward with a side
show called the National Baptist Con

not going to say mean things about

I was glad to see DR.. T. J. King,
president Of the Virginia Baptist state
convention back in line with his breth-

THE GIFT OF FREEDOM.
The crowd who ask, "But what
about his family" would get very lit
tie satisfaction if Luke were being in
troduced. Ancestors do not cut much
figure either in the bible or in the
world of real manifest family trees
are too shady to be healthy resting
places for anybody except fellows who
have never hustled in the harvest
field. Luke hasn't any family and if
there is any tree he planted it, for
the very great probability is that he
was Graded in the arms of a nameless
slave and grew keen-witted in the
fight for q share of the Scant supplies
that fed what in America are known
as "The Quarters" Ascent and not
descent is the mark Of real manhood.
Theophilus was probably his owner
and the alert youngster who could not
be hidden from his eyes was in all
likelihood taken into some personal
service that would give the gracious
courtesy evident in the stories of his
relationships. Presently he would be
chosen for the training that would
make his ministry still more worth to
that master and he would be sent to
Tarsus to the greatest medical school
then known and would come back and
give his skill to the care of the entire
household. But fate decreed that he
should not be hidden in a company
of slaves. A strange teaching came
to Antioch. Barnabas and Saul APP
peared and the Tarsus connection was
enough if there was no other to es-
tablish an interest in the mind of the
student familiar with its streets and
Luke became a Christian. But that
was not the only development of that
church that has placed all the world
in its debt, for in some fashion The
ophilus also became a follower of its
Lord. Under the winsome teaching
of brotherhood if was no longer nos
sible for brother so beloved as Luke
to be kept as a slave and the letters
that had never bound the limbs but
had been so real to the mind were re-
moved forever. With that scene
somewhere in the back of his thinking
it is not hard to see why more than
any other writer he pictures Jesus as
a Savior setting folks at liberty or

why it is the Gospel of equality for
both Greek and Hebrew. And his graf
itude is readily understood in its care
full search for material that would
serve that old master for whom he
wrote two books. Since Peter and
Paul had both been in Antioch it may
have been that same masters per-
sonal interest and acquaintance that
determined that one book should be
devoted to their work more largely
than to that of other members of that
early church.
THE USE OF FREEDOM.
What one does with a thing is far
more important than having it. 1t
is not that citizenship is granted to
many races in America that counts so
much as does the sort of citizen they
make. What did Luke do with his
liberty? There is little doubt that he
Travelled, for his familiarity with sea
terms would indicate that, but he is
better known for his books than for
anw other thing. The more extended
research has become the greater be-
comes their value as an accurate pic
ture of his times. He had the trained
mans passion for facts and in his Wis
it in Jerusalem seems to have sought
out Mary to secure from her lipe the
story of those wonderful days that
have haloed Bethlehem for all time.
And as he visited in the home of Phil
ip he listened to those daughters tell
tn estories of their fathers share in
the spreadin gof their Masters mes
sage until Luke could give it to his
pen in unforgettable style. He
searched through all the scraps of
writing that he could find in order
that a story of Jesus might be writ
ten that would present Him as this
hero worshipper saw Him, for he
bowed at the throne of character
wherever he found it, whether in
Christ or in a follower of His like
Paul. Gentle, lovable, true, he found
these things in his associates and in
their Lord.
He may have been tn eintroducer of
Christianity into Europe. Certainly
he joined Paul at Tarsus, but where
did ne come from? Paul was sick
and needed his skill but he may and
very likely was living at Philippi
from which place he responded to
Paul's message. Comm gfrom Mac
edonia what is more natural than that
territory should be ushered into the
dreams of the restless Apostle and
one Of its sons CARRIED different from
the orientals was fixed in the waking
memory. And Luke was present il
the morning conference in which they
"concluded' that it was a call to enter
a new field Luke's advice and coun

sci may be readily guessed, and mod
ern Christendom is the result. And he
became the fostering father of that
same church of which Lydia was the
earliest convert.
THE SACRIFICE OF FREEDOM.
One of the greatest pictures in Ben
Hur is that in which crippeled Simon
ides tells Esther of his refusal to go
out free for love of her mother for
only one who has tasted slavery can
fully know all that freedom holds
within it. Luke became the cOmrade
of Paul, and when the fettered pris-
oner was setting sail for Rome he
was among the party. But no pris-
oner was allowed to take any associ-
ates, though he might be accompanied
by a slave. So Luke signed up as
Pauls slave that he might give care
to a friend of his love. No wonder
Paul writes, "The beloved physician"
How long such relationship continued
one can only guess, but during that
first Imprisonment in Rome the record
brought by the centurion would deter
mine his standing in the eyes of the
Romans, so that for two or three
years he was d willing slave to the
bond-slave of Christ as Paul often
called himself. Loving liberty, as his
writings show, what a man he was to
become the slave of a slave in order
to serve the cause he loved. 1t car
ries one back to the Lord of Life who
became obedient unto death that He
might serve and save, and it was that
picture that determined Luke's ac-
ton. He did not consider it right to
be held but a power to be used for his
friends. One trouble with the world Of
today is the insistence upon rights
instead of upon obligations. When it
catches that spirit its troubles will
be ended.
THE SERVICE OF FREEDOM.
"Only Luke is with me, Shouts from
the prison the devotion of this friend
who was loyal clear thru. How much
he meant to the man no one can guess.
What he did for that SCARED body
with its continuous suffering that
was like a prodding stake from which
he prayed for relief, can only be i'm
agined. Certainly to have had the
continuous ministry of that skilled
comrade enabled Paul to accomplish
much more than he otherwise would
have done and that must be credited
to the devotion Of Luke. Not only
the Gospel which had been called the
most beautiful book ever written,
and The Acts with it's record of the
expanding church, but certainly some
of Paul's letters, the later ones at
least, are due to this man who re-
fused to leave him even in dire days
