GOLDEN TEXT—"I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it Is the power of God unto salvation to every ’"f,‘ba/ belUveth."—Hora. 1:16. IRI-MAKy TOPlC—Preaching by a nt verside. ' «• JUNIOR TOPIC—PauI Crosses the See. INTERMEDIATE and senior topic—Paul's Ambition. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Paul's Alm and Methods. The Gospel having broken the confines of the Jewish city and country, toe middle wall of partition being abolished, the time came for it to leap across tlie Aegean sea and begin its conquest of another continent. Christianity tiius ceased to be un oriental religion uud through the centuries bus been mainly occidental. I. Call to Macedonia (Acts 16:9-11). 1. The Vision (v. 9). Being hemmed in on all sides, a vision was given to Paul of a man of Macedonia pleading for help. Ti.is made plain to him the closed doors about him. The Spirit as definitely leads in the closing of some doors as in the ojaming of others. In finding the divine will we should look botlt ways. Before there can be any great forward movement there must be a vision. The great achievements of men are tile products of visions. 2. The Advance (vv. 10, 11). As soon as the divine way was known they moved forward therein. Visions must be quickly translated into aggressive actions or else they are blotted from our skies. They neither questioned the wlsdiym of God nor delayed action. This is characteristic of all of God’s true servants. With a straight course Paul moved out of his own country to the strategic center of a new continent. 11. The First Convert in Europe (Acts 16:12-15). The missionaries first went to Philippi and spent several days In studying conditions there. The Jewish element In this city was comparatively insignificant, so much so tlfnt they could not have a synagogue. Therefore, the devout people were accustomed to worship by the riverside. To this humble gathering Paul came and preached to the women assembled there. A certain woman from Thyatira, a proselyte, believed his message and was baptized. Tlie work of the Lord thus ; had a very humble beginning, tint it : was destined to transform all Europe i and the world. The steps in Lydia's ! conversion are worthy of note for they are typical. , 1. Attendance at the Place of Worship (v. 13). Usually those whom God I is calling are found at the place of prayer. Lydia was seeking the heavenly light. God sends many an inquirer to tlie prayer meeting. | 2. Listening to the Preaching of the Word of God (vv. 13, 14). It is highly ' important that at every prayer meet- | ing tlie Word of God shall be spoken, i so that the Inquirer after God may find the light. 3. Her Heart Was Opened by the Lord (v. 14). Only the Lord can I vert a soulr It is our business to preach the Word of God and it Is God’s business to open the heart of the inquirer. No one is ever converted against his will. \ 4. She Was Baptized (v. 15). Everyone whose MTenrt the Lord lias opened desires to confess Him in baptism. 5. Her Household Believed Also (v. 15). This was as it should be. Real conversion cannot be concealed. 6. Practiced Hospitality (v. 15). Those who have experienced God’s saving grace are at once disposed to have part in His ,work by rendering aid to His ministers. 111. Paul Preaching in Rome (Acts 28:30, 31). Paul continued his labors in widening his testimony to the world amongst thrilling experiences. In spite of beat- ’ Ings, shipwrecks and imprisonments, we find him near the close of his life in the imperial capltol city. Though a prisoner he continues to preach the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the providence of God, he had liberty to preach the Gospel to all who came • to him. IV. Paul'a Aim in Preaching the Gospel Was World-Wide (Rom. 15: 16-21). His heart's transcendent desire was to so preach the Gospel that the Gentiles might become obedient to the faith. In order that this might be ac--1 compllshed he pushed out Into tines- | plored regions, so that the light of I the Gospel might shine into the darkI ness of the heathen world. May we | follow his example, for there is much work to be done. Prayer. Firing your plans, your purposes to God’s throne. Test them by praying about them. Do nothing large or new --nothing small nor old, cither—for that matter—till you have asked there. In the silence of the secret place, '•Lord, what wonldest Thou have me to do 7" —Alexander Maclaren.
