Milady's plants have in turn dis
tributed them to their friends. We
shall never be able to trace the
expansion of our garden.
That is the way Christianity has
grown. One lighted life has i'm
parted its light to another life, until
the whole world has been illu-
minated.
There are two major methods of
extending a doctrine: one is Hit
lers' way, by armed might and ter
rorism, which is doomed to final
failure, as surely as God is God.
The other method is the Christian
one, as illustrated in our lesson by
Paul and Barnabas. They simply
bore witness to the truth they knew,
relying upon the reasonableneSS OF
their hearers, and upon the aid of
the Divine Spirit, who enlightens
man and enables him to seek and
choose the best.
These two men, Paul and Bar
nabas, were the first of a great
procession that has kept on the
march ever since. Following them

march of missions, our own ances-
tors turned from savage paganism
to Christianity. Our present-day
civilization, at its best, is child
of the missionary movement begun
by Paul and Barnabas and the An
tioch Church.
War news has carried public in
terest afresh to Turkey, the scene OF
these Pauline labors which we are
studying. Most of the cities men
tioned-I have visited them all-are
now ruins. Iconium, the modern
Konia, is still a railway center in
mid Turkey. In Paul's day all were
centers of Graeco-Roman civiliza-
ton and cosmopolitanism. They
had various religions and gods and
were citadels of intrenched COM
placency.
The Christian Strategist.
We must admire the audacity of
these Christian pioneers, as they at
tackled first of all the great cities.
1t took courage to go up against
these fortresses of established order.
Yet then, as now, the streams OF
national influence flowed from the
urban centers. To capture New York
for vital Christianity would go a
long way toward making the whole
North American continent really
religious
In truth, though, the cities are the
weak spots in the Christian move
ment. Yet they can be aroused-the
Billy Sunday campaigns proved that
When the churches unite behind a
vibrant personality, and the press
co-operates, then the public's mind
is turned acutely to its Oldest, deep
est concern. The National Preach
ing missions have been attempts to
follow the Pauline strategy. But we
have not yet found another Paul.
This is an urgent matter at the
present moment. Every thoughtful
person realizes that we must depend
upon religion for the new state OF
mind that will have to underline the
world order that Is to follow the
war. Meanwhile, most of us are
merely holding down jobs or keep
ing conventional ecclesiastical wheels
turning. The passion for changing
human lives is dim. Vague notions
OF social amelioration have, in
countless instances, supplanted zeal
for converting individuals to Jesus
Christ. There was power IN Paul's
