he wrought more nightly by his
death than by his life.
These converts from regions afar
who came to Antioch were free from
the narrow provincialism of the
Jerusalem church. The same spirit
which had wrought upon Peter in
Joppa. and Cornelius in Caesarea,
had made them liberal and tolerant,
imparting the good news to the
Greeks as we'll as to the Jews. And

Enter the Christian Statesman.
This emiSSary from Jerusalem to
Antioch was just the man for the
job He himself was a native of
the island of Cyprus. and so free
from Jerusalem prejudices. He had
proved himself by his generosity in
the first outburst of Christian COM
munism. He vouched to the apostles
for the new convert. Saul Luke
says, He was a good man." which
is biography enough for anybody.
A big man was Barnabas, a real
statesmen, but in nothing does his
bigness appear more than in his
recognition of a bigger man than
himself. He saw that this Antioch
situation called for other talents
than his own. Then he remem-
bered Saul. who for 10 years had
been vegetating in his native city
of Tarsus, probably working at his
trade as a tentmaker, and ponder
ing the truths which he later was
to express for the enrichment of all
Christendom. Those silent years of
Saul were not wasted; no prepara-
ton time ever is. When Barnabas
made the journey to Tarsus to in
vite Saul to Antioch, the latter was
ready and At.
Most of us have known pastors
or teachers who had this Barnabas
gift of searching out likely persons
for larger careers. The greatest
preacher in the city of Philadelphia
today was a red-headed little raga-
muffin in Springfield, Ohio, when
Rev. Frederick Gotwald and his wife
found him in their mission Sunday
school and set his feet on the paths
of training. To discover a potential

the churches, it is possible to shake
a modern big city to the core with
the message Of the Gospel. There
Is no real warrant for the mood
of defeatism with which many
churchmen confront our large urban
centers. Barnabas and Saul, with
their associates, set all Antioch
ablaze with interest in the new re-
ligion and made that city the
driving center of worldwide mis-
slonary crusade. Throughout the
centuries the best-known single
fact about history crowded Anti
och is that there the disciples were
first called Christians.
Antioch is prime demonStra-
tion of the sharing church. 1t never
settled down" to enjoy its religion.
Just as the needs of China and
Korea and Africa and the rest of
the non-Christian world should to-
day be vitality and practically the
concern of all churches in the
homelands, so the Antioch church
looked across the Mediterranean to
Asia Minor and Europe. A year of
service by Barnabas and Saul in
Antioch equipped them and the
church for the great crusade of
expansion that was soon to ensue.
Their mark is today upon the cities
and regions that figure in the war
news.
