worlds great dramas in real life Is
this portrayal of Paul, the many
sided apostle, missionary, philoso-

Christ.
In last weeks lesson we saw Paul
yearning to 60 to Rome. Now his
wish is being fulfilled in strange
manner. He is to 60 to Rome, but
in chains. God was using the elab-

even as today He is moving the
pawns of nations in His great game
When Paul landed on the shores
of the Holy Land, after his trip
from Miletus, where he had taken
heart-breaking leave of the Ephe-

several days with the local Christian

symbolized the bonds that awaited
him in the city he loved.

solidarity of Christian disciples. To
those early followers of Jesus their
religion meant more than anything
else-as it should mean today.
Despite the warnings of the
churches at Tyre and Caesarea,
Paul, who never turned back, pro-
ceeded to Jerusalem. He was no
safety first" man. no 'peace-at-
any-price' advocate. He always
marched with face forward. Danger
was a familiar companion to him.
It never deferred him from his life
mission.
Mobs in Jerusalem.
On the advice of the apostles, Paul
took steps to show that he was q
real Jew. In vain. While he was
quietly fulfilling VOW in the Tenn
pie, an melted mob gathered, and
the uproar brought the Roman SOL
diers on the double quick from the
Tower of Antonia to rescue him.

still exists tunnel leading directly
into the Temple area, which they
have closed: from fear of the mobs
who nowadays so easily arise In
Jerusalem. The Oriental tempera-
ment, which expresses itself in sud-
den popular outbursts, has always
been characteristic of the old city.
Following the Roman guard to
the tower, the mob kept crying
Away with him!" just as they had
done when Jesus was a captive of
Rome on the same spot. Paul could
not have missed the significance of
this. His heart must have thrilled
at the thought of the identity of his
experience with that of his Master
He was in fellowship with Christ s
sufferings.
This madness of mobism seems to
be affecting the world in new vigor
today. There is a vogue of dem
onstrations" and marches" which
given reign to the mob mind. One
practical teaching of the present
lesson is that no follower of the
mob-lynched Jesus should ever sur
render his personality to the mad
ness of mob rule.
Koreans Who Failed.
While I was writing this lesson,
there came to me a tragic letter
from Korea, where the Japanese
have decreed that everybody must
do obeisance at the imperial shrine
A Christian school had been or
dered to march In a body to the
shrine. The teachers pointed out
to the students that this act is idol
airy, and it was decided to close the
school rather than to comply. AT
this, the Japanese withdrew their
order temporarily. But later they
forcibly marched the whole student
body to the shrine and ordered
them to bow. Most had to be
beaten severely before they would
do so. All succumbed except one
boy, who was being regularly tor
tured when the letter was written
Not all of us have the Pauline cour-
age In bearing testimony. Yet. in
ways small and great, the test comes
to every one of us to show our al
legiance to Christ.
Our lesson includes several elo-
quent speeches by Paul in his own
defense. He could point to his
blameless life. and to his conscience
void of offense." Character counts
most in all emergencies. What we
really are and have been is the best
pleader for us in hours of trial. II
youth could but understand the i'm
portance of noble living to all their
future. we should have breed OF
greater men and women for life's
future testing times. John B
Coughs last words were. Young
man, keep your record clean!" II
was thus that Paul was able to
stand before kings and judges, q
brave man confronting pusillani-
nous politicians
1t is sad picture of politicians
that we have In this lesson-and
in the days newspapers. Their
pettiness, their cowardice, their
trucking to mob passions, are a
vivid challenge to the election OF a
better type of public servant. A
Pauline career awaits men in this
field. 1gnoble politics railroaded
Paul to Rome, where he desired to
be; but the kings and judges before
whom he stood stand pilloried IN
an Immortality Of shame.
