In the meantime, while all of this was being accomplished. Saul of Tarsus started upon his momentous trip to Damascus and had become converted. Taking the name of Paul, he became as ardent a follower of Jesus as he had been his enemy. He set about a series of missionary journeys to found churches through permanent congregations.

1 Sunday School ? QUESTIONS ? I Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians QUESTIONS 1. What is the purpose of today’s lesson? 2. On whit is it based? 3. When and where did Paul i write this epistle? 4. What was he doing at this time? 5. To whom was it addressed? 6. Where was Galatia? 7. Whence came the name? 8. How was the name applied ■ in New Testament times? i 9. To just which part of the church was it written? 10. What happened to Paul after this journey? ANSWERS I j 1. The purpose of today’s lesson ! is based on the axiom that whatI soever a man sows, so shall he i reap. Its direct purpose is to teach the evils of intemperance. 2. It is I'used on Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians. 3. Paul wrote this Epistle in Corinth about 57 A. D. 4. He was on his third mission-1 ary journey. 5. It was addressed to Churches , which he had founded in w hich: there were many Greeks. Romans j and Jews. The Jews insisted on ' observing many of the old Mosaic ' laws, to which the Greeks and Romans took exception. Paul sought to show that Christ had inaugurated a reign where faith justified rather than ceremonials. 6. Galatia proper was a district to ’the north <rf Asia Minor, 200 miles long from east to west, and 100 miles wide. It was a dreary country with a severe winter climate. 7. The name was derived from the Gauls, warring tribes of western Europe, who conquered the native Phrygian population in the third century. 8. In New Testament times, the name was applied by the Romans to the old Gallic kingdom and. in addition, to the southern territory which Included Phrygia. Isauria, Pysidia and Lycaonia. 9. Authorities are divided as to whether the Epistle was written to the churches of South Galatia or to those of the north. However, it was addressed to the Christian church of central Asia Minor. 10. Following Paul's third missionary journey, he returned to Jerusalem, where he was imprisoned for a time and. later, transferred to Rome, where he remained until his death.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Galations 6:1-10

The missionary tours of Paul are marked by Epistles which he wrote from time to time to the various congregations.

By HARLOWE R. HOYT WALTER SCOTT

Sowing and Reaping By Harlowe R. Hoyt “Be not deceived: God is’ not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.” When Paul expressed this sentiment in his Epistle to the Galatians, how well he must have | realized the truth of his stateI ment. Educated under the strictI est interpretation of the Mosaic I laws, hoping in his youth to suci ceed to one of the coveted posi- , tions of the temple, he persecuted I lhe early Christians until his vis-' j ion on the road to Damascus awakened him to the enormity cf i his actions. He had participated, | to a slight degree, in the tnartydom of Stephen. The rememberance of this must have troubled his soul to the end of his days. We cannot escape the conse--1 quences of our own acts. The crimI inal who plans some subtle evai sion of man-made laws invariably leaves a loophole by which he is I discovered. The individual who ! violates the conventions which I have been established for the good of society pays bitterly. Fof he I finds that he has injured others ! hs well as himself, and conscience I goads him to the end of his days. I In the vernacular, we must play I square. We receive in return exactly in proportion to what wo | give. This applies to business, "to 1 private life, and to religion. Bread I cast upon the water will return ! nnd a good deed brings its results j tenfold. Shakespeare said: “So far this candle throws "its little beam. So shines a good deed in this naughty world.” XX e do not do good deeds- for the sake of praise and emolument. We do them Becatiße we seek to’ help the sore and sorrowing-and i to make lighter the burden which ■ they must bear. ><>., We pay for our sins. XX’e receiveI unexpected returns for our kind acts and thoughtful deeds.
