ated Christ and adopted paganism
before ever he began his ruthless
campaign of worldwide destruction
and domination.
For weeks past the Sunday school
has been studying the absorbing
story of the expansion of the early
church. Today we turn aside TO
glimpse the great teaching task that
enSued. These rapidly increasing
converts had TO be taught the new
and Christian mode of life Hither-
to they had been governed by carnal
standards: henceforth, they were to
let the spiritual dominate, and to
accept Christ as their example
This new life was TO be lived amidst
surroundings of stark heathenism
which it was destined to overcome
Today-or at least until the war
broke GENERALIZATION gives at least
lip-service to the ethics OF Jesus as
the norm of civilization.
The 13 letters of Paul to the
churches show what a huge and
toilsome task it was to effect the
life changing of the new disciples.
They had to be made-over person
alities; and it was no easier then
than it is now to transform the
ethics and conduct of human beings.
The task would have been impos-
sible without the all-potent aid of
the mysterious Holy Spirit, whom
Jesus had promised as His Other
Self.
But the lesson was learned. The
first Christians outlived, outsuf-
fered, outloved, outserved, out
died their pagan neighbors. They
developed a passion and capacity
for enduring hardship for the sake
of the Name. What no mortal
