rying out for great


trivialities of professional politics
and of mere money-getting. Their
ambitions are puny and futile. Is
it not strange that far-sighted par
entS and teachers are not bending
their efforts to the training of youth
for really great leadership, COM
mensurate with the colossal needs
of our day?
That thrilling figure, Paul, whom
the millions of Sunday school men,
bers are now studying, sets a per-
feet example of what this era de-
mands. He was mastered by sin
gle, sublime purpose and ambition.
He confessed himself to be am
bilious. While content with his lot,
he was supremely dissatisfied with
his achievements. He bent all his
powers, in tireless labor, to the i'm
perial project of winning his world
into discipleship to his Master, Je-
suS of Nazareth.
Consider how he went about 1t.
First of all, he committed his whole
personality to his discipleship. He
bore ever about with him the brand
marks of Jesus. Nobody, high or
low, could think of him otherwise
than as Christian. Incidentlly
he was an aristocrat and scholar
though he gave ardous days to the
weaver's bench in self-support. All
this was subordinate to his identity
as Christ's servant. Everywhere he
went, and everything he did. was
for the one purpose of proclaiming
the story of the Savior.
That means that he was con-
Stantly vocal witness He was
physically handicapped, and of mean
presence, yet he trained himself in
the art of public speaking. Why
should not every disciple equip him.
self with skill in witnessing, both
in private and in public? More
powerful than professional oratory
is the sincere word, spoken with
timeliness and force. There are
multitudes of young men, possessed
of native ability, who should be
learning how to address their fell
lowmen, instead of wasting their
hours upon the art of being Utter
bugs.
Then Paul adventured He Jared
forth to far lands. He entered every
open door, and pried open many
that were closed. To him obstacles
were things to be overcome" He
spurned ease and personal comfort.
He dared all sorts of dangers. The
strongholds of paganism appealed
to him as opportunities. Even while
achieving mighty works in the great
cities of his time, he yearned to
come to grips with Rome itself, the
citadel of the Caesars.

multitudes whom he brought under
the sound of his voice, he turned
to the pen as an instrument of
power. BY his written word he
reached multitudes into whose faces
he never looked. BY his authorship,
as well as by his life, he has reached
down through the centuries to put
his shaping, ennobling hand upon
the spirits of uncounted millions,
even to this day. No other mortal
that ever welded pen has ever ex-
erted such an influence upon the
human race.
What a ceaseleSs marvel Is this
art of putting down upon paper
words which reach far beyond the
writer's ken The ability to write
which is merely the capacity to
state clearly what the writer knows
and believes-is more than a gift;
it is an art that may be cultivated.
In world filled with printed trash
for proof, look at the magazine
rack of any drug store-there is a
strange dearth of literature designed
to fire the hearts of readers to great
living and great achievement. We
have to turn to the old writings for
impaired power Chief among
these character changing authors is
the hero of this series of lessons,
the Apostle Paul. He was master
of argument, master of epigram,
a master of illustration and mas
ter of direct address. Our days lit
erature clamors for more Pauls.
Recent international events have
shocked and shaken people every
where into an aWarenesS of the big
world. We are all in the geography
class today, with the newspaper and
radio as teachers. This is a great
change; for instinctively people are
local-minded. Our hero, Paul, early
thought in spacious terms. His body
followed his imagination into far
places. One of the illuminating sem
tences in his writings is, Beside
that which cometh upon me daily,
the care of all the churches"
He had never seen Rome; yet we
find him, in this letter to the Roman
Christians, thanking God for you
ALL and making mention of them
in his prayers. How many of us
ever give thought or a prayer to
the distant Christians whom we
have never Seen-to the Ethiopians
under the harrow; to the Chinese
disciples who are being tested by
fire; to the new disciples in India
and Africa; to the church members
in Russia and Germany who suffer
persecution?
Before ever Paul, or any other
apostle, had reached Rome, the seeds
of the Gospel had been carried there
by unknown Observation-Disclosures
men, public officials, travellers. This
lip-to-ear evangelization by ordinary
folk is a vital part of the Christian
apostolate. Wherever Christ has a
disciple, there He should have a
missionary. Many fields of our daily
life are never touched by the clergy.
God has only us to depend upon for
the telling of the good news. That
is one reason why Paul was grateful
for the common Christians in Rome.
They were sharers in his great task.
He got to see them later, though he
went as a prisoner.
