Concerning the Macedonian Call That Came to Paul
anu International UnnoIm sun
dav School Lessons for August %.
BY VIM. e. Gilroy, ID. ID.
Editor of The CongregatiOnIist

~ HE Macedonian call which
came to Paul long ago and
which was the occasion of
the introduction of Christianity into
Europe, has become symbolic of airy
call to a new and great task. 1t Is
a tribute to mans perception Of
such great incidents that they be-
come symbolic in this way.
Paul was on his second missionary
Journey, accompanied as we remem-
Der not by Barnabas, with. whom he
had had a disagreement, but by
Silas. He had come as far as Troas
and here a vision appeared to him
in the night.
We do not know just what was
the nature of this vision; probably
it was in the form of a dream, but
it was very real to Paul and its mes-
sage was quite plain. He recognized
it at once as a way in which, God
was calling to him to a new field.
In the vision there appeared
man Of Macedonia. This man of
Macedonia besought Paul, saying,
Come over into Macedonia and help
u.s."
Had Many Visions"
Visions played an important part
in Paups experience.
Paurs whole religious life began
in obedience to a vision. This he
made very clear in his story of his
experience before Agrippa. He told
of the light that shone upon him
as he went to Damascus, and his
simple account Of the matter was
'Whereupon, o King Agrippa, I was
not disobedient unto the heavenly
vision"
The same was true in this case.
Immediately he arranged his plans
to go into Macedonia, ''assuredly
gathering that the Lord had called
us for to preach the gospel unto
them
Paul came to Phillippi, the chief
city of Macedonia, and he stayed
there for some time. On the Sab
bath he went out by the river side
where prayer was wont to be
made" 1t is not clear just who
went there to pray, but there must
have been some very devout souls
in Philippi.
Probably they were Jews, and it
is not unlikely that the reference

der this new experience Lydia was
baptized and her household, and she
invited Paul and Silas to come into
her house as her guests.
The Great Beginning,
One cannot consider this lesson
without rejecting upon the immense
significance Of Pauls response to the
Macedonian call. This was the gate
way to the flood of Christian influ-
ence that was to pour upon Europe
throughout the Christian centuries
and it was the beginning of our
Anne rican. Christianity, inasmuch
as this came from Europe.
If progress during these Christian
centuries has not been as great as
we should desire, if our modern life
and its Institutions have not been
brought under the sway of Christ,
we may at least recognize the pro-
found influences that have come as
successive Christian leaders have
obeyed the Macedonian call.
We must at least not underesti-
mate che power of Christianity in
the modern world, and we must not
rest content until every Christian
there comes a Macedonian call to
extend the borders Of the kingdom
Of God and to effect the triumphs
of the cross.
From many countries the Mace
DOMAIN call comes to America today,
Come over and help u.s." America
was never stronger to give help and
service.

strength selfsh1y? Or shall we de-
vote it to the spread Of Christ's
kingdom among all rnen7

may be to a group of Christian dis
ciples who had already found their
way over into Macedonia, for the
indication is that the disciples
spread very rapidly for reasons Of
trade or for other causes throughout
the ancient world. At any rate, Paul
found this company Of devout peo-
pie consisting apparently chiefly Of
women, and upon this first Sabbath
he spoke specially to the women
gathered there.
The result was that he won the
loyalty and allegiance Of Lydia, "a

Mr.. Ffxit was drawn into the
track elevation controversy today
through a letter from a west side
citizen, but is unable to offer any
hope for the request.
DEAR MIR. FIXIT: In reading
the plans of the track elevation,
see they have decided to start east
and south. Why not west, as Wash

and w. Michigan st. and Speedway
Rd. should be considered?
WEST SIDE CITIZEN.
Track elevation is like moving
a mountain. 1t requires years OF
effort. The indianapolis Union
Railway Company, under plea of
financial embarrassment, has de-
layed elevation for many years.

hasten. the present elevation pro-

he went to the King Of Thessaly
and the good king received the
god hndly-not guessing for a
moment that it was the great
Apollo who was calling on him.
And what do you think the king
gave Apollo to do? He made him
his shepherd and out into the
fields went, the god of sun and
music to tend the sheep.
Zone day a musician named
Marsyas--the man who had in
vented the Iyre-passed through
the field where Apollo was play
ing. Hearing the beautiful music
and being of d very jealous
nature he went up to Apollo and
told him that stringed instru-
ments, of which the Tyre was one,
were not to be compared with the
flute, which was played by blow
ing into it.
''ApoIlo on the other hand, de-
clared he did not care for such
whistling instruments and the re-
suit was that Apollo suggested
that they go to a neighboring
town, give a concert and let the
people decide.
$50 they did and before they
started they bet their skins. The
one who lost in the contest was
to give his skin to the other.
'Marsyas was the first to play
and it was indeed beautiful.
"And then Apollo played a
sweet, simple little tune, but with
such grace and feeling that the
people were thunderstruck.
"Marsyas became nervous and
flourishes that it astonished the
audience until they were silent.
ut was Apollo's turn now. He
lifted his beautiful head and sang
to his Tyre. And you can imagine
how the god sang!
"Marsyas declared this was not

that If Marsyns could sing while
he was playing the flute, then
he would admit the flute to be
the best instrument, and that If
Marysas could use his breath to
make music there was no reason
why Apollo shouldn't use his as
well.
