ance were said to be there and to

universal witnesses. The Old 1eSta-
ment uses the figure of the eagle
stirring up the nest. that the young
might be forced to fly. Thus perse-
cution scattered the disciples
abroad. Placidity is not a great goal
of existence, and no parents are
more mistaken than the ones VINO
seek to provide a safe and easy lie
for their children. Grant me the
struggle. that my soul may grow,
Within our assigned lesson pas
sage is the story of Stephen, the
first Christian martyr, who did more
for the Christian cause by his dying
than most of his fellow Christians
did by their living. Pastor Niemoel-
ier, in a German concentration
camp, is the most effective force Tor
Christianity in Germany today,
serving more nightly by his suffer-
ing than any bishop or other official.
The cause of Christ in Japan would
be in a more hopeful state today
had there been leader ready to
suffer martyrdom for the Name. No
ancient aphorism is truer than the
one which declares that "the blood
of the martyrs is the seed OF the
church" That cause will live which
has advocates willing to die. Pa
triotism prevails because so many
persons prefer it to a mere pro-
| longation of physical existence. The
| church is deathlsSs because sucn a
multitude of her members are will
ing to give up their lives for her.
! This is an appropriate time to
mediate upon Stephen. the martyr,
whose first offspring was Saul of
Tarsus, who became Paul the
Apostle Stephen himself was lin
cal spiritual descendant of the
Christ who died on the cross.
These are days, when nobody's
home is beyond the possible reach
of bombs, for serious thought upon
the relative unimportance of dying,
as compared with the obligations of
loyalty To perish for the sake of
a holy cause is to achieve a glorious
success.
FOR now can man ole better,
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his gods?'
This martyr spirit, untouched by
morbidness, has been Great Britain S
largest gift to the present world war.
Her people have SubOrdinated their
own personal comfort and safety tn
! a high-souled devotion to ideals
which they deem more important
than life. They prefer to die as free
men and women rather than to live
as slaves of despotism. And when
the church awakens to this same do
or-die spirit we shall see such a re-
vival of Christianity as followed the
persecution of the first Christians.
BY the passage of the lease-lend
bill, the United States administered

which, in the spirit of safety first,
seeks to preserve its own comfort
regardless of the fate OF others. This
mood is well expressed by the Old
jingle:
God bless me and my wife,
My son John and his wife,
Us four; no more. Amen"
AS Scripture says, mo man liveth
to himself, and no man dieth to
himself" We are all bound up in
the bundle of life. Shortsighted
Selflshness may f1out the slogan
Each for all and all for EACH" but
it is the Christian law of life. Our
religion is solidly based upon a life
once offered up selflessly on a cross
This vast and sublime conception
is more easily talked about than
practiced. 1t was a severer jolt than
we can realize for the early church,
satisfied with its Jewish limits, to
accept the truth that its precious
heritage belonged to all the world,
regardless of racial, regional or re-
ligious claSsiflcations. To carry the
gospel to Samaria was more of a
strain to them than for the present.
day church to preach the gospel to
Africa and Asia.
Nevertheless, the Spirit of Jesus
within them, aided by the fierceness
of persecution without. made the
Christians cosmopolites and pioneers
of world brotherhood. They sur
mounted the high hurdles of insu-
larity and raceism which prevailed
in their day, not only overcoming
the Hebrew-Gentile antipathy, but
also the Roman barbarian division
Our effort toward tolerance amongst
all races, creeds and classes follows
directly in their train.
At least three races are today
fighting under the British flag, in
united warfare against the crude
blood and soil' conceptions OF to-
talitarianism. And even more mean
ingful, literally all races and condi-
tions of men are aligned within the
Christian Church, crossing all geo.
graphical boundaries, in the great
struggle to convert the whole world
to a better way of life. New test
ings confront this enterprise in the
mission fields. In the long history
of foreign missions there has been
no such opposition to the gospels
work as is now being met in Japan
Korea, Persia and elsewhere. Con-
ditions somewhat resemble those
which confronted the Apostolic
Church. Nevertheless the Christian
task is clear, to arouse all men to
the knowledge of human brother
hood, Divine fatherhood and Christ's
saviourhood.
