When Men Died For Belief ’s ,jThen TheirJCause Increased Done To Death For His Faith, Stephen, The First Christian Martyr, Left Immeasurable Heritage —Finding Something Worth Dying For Today.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS One thing wrong with the times is that people generally, and the younger generation in particular, are not interested in anything worth dying for. Who is willing to die for a game of bridge, or for a favorite motion picture, or for a new automobile, : or for a baseball game, or for a 'dance? Yet these are the major interests of multitudes. 1 have seen men die in Russia for the revolution; and In China I for republicanism, and in Turkey for nationalism, and in Egypt for independence. These were great causes: have we in our western world today anything comparable Ito them, or enlisting commensurate devotion? Wanted—Martyrs! Without the martyr spirit, no new cause can grow. The call to youth today is for lives that will . go the limit for pure and free gov- , eminent, for social justice, for : world peace, for Christian brothi erhood. Ours is a dilettante day. We delight to discuss everything —and do nothing about anything. We read and write cleverly about problems of every sort; but our 'crop of Howards and Shaftsburgs and Nightingales and Cromwells land Lincolns is pitifully small. I saw in Russia the rise of the "bat- , taiions of de a t h”—regiments of ' men and women moving to the front from which the faint hearted had deserted, and pledged to die before surrendering. We could do with a few “battalions of dezth" in our social and spiritual warfare today. We are not writing many additional paragraphs to the eleventh I chapter of Hebrews. May we not go so far as to say ! that unless there is iA a life something worth dying for, then there , is in it nothing worth living for? : A carcass-coddling era, which regards the mere prolongation of physical existence as its supreme goal, will write no glorious chap,ters of history. . “In what religion were you told ‘A man must live?"

die. ! Imagine, for a battle cry From soldiers, with a sword to , hold— From soldiers, with the flag unrolled— The coward’s whine, this liar’s , He, ‘A man must live.’!” A Pioneer of Death In that early church in Jerusalem, every aspect of which is of > absorbing interest, the Spirit of 11 Jesus was so powerful that even ’, in unexpected places we find hero- ■' ism like His own. Stephen, for in- : stance, was not an apostle, but a i deacon, devoted to the secularises i of the church, with which the ap- - oatles could not take time to coni cern themselves. He may be callled one of the church's laymen, a /business man. Yet what prophet > could match him in spiritual qua!I ities? Certainly, the highbrows ■ from Cyrene and Alexandria and •Cilicia (Acts 6:9, 10) were no ■ match for him. Stephen's address . in his own defense, after his ar- ; rest, is one of the longest and ~ best in the New Testament. Os course, Stephen had been ar- ' rested. Enemies of truth always re--1 sort to force when their wits fall 1 them. It is the small boy’s way to ; end an argument with, “I can lick • you, anyway." When religion reIl sorts to the secular arm it is a ’: sign that she is spiritually weak. I All through the ages there has i, been thus turning to the jail, > tortWe and death for those ideas 1 were disapproved by the prevailing • party, in Church and State. Steph- • en was the first victim of this spir--1 it in the Christian era. He was a pioneer of death, for faith’s sake, r in direct succession to his Lord. - His straight and stinging speech ■ to his accusers contained a rec- ’ ord to which the centuries have . written countless footnotes; "Ye f stiff-necked and uncircumcised in ■ heart and ears, ye do always re- . sist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and they killed them which shewed before of the com- . ing of the Righteous One; of whom ■ ye have now become betrayers and murderers.” A Glimpse Into Heaven Heaven is always near when a man dies martyr to truth. Even his enemies thought Stephen's ■ face was like that of an angel. As

his hate-filled, teeth-gnashlng foes rushed him forth to a cruel death by stoning, "he, being full of the Holy Spirn, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God. and Jesus standing on the right hand of God.” I once heard Moody say, "Jesus was standing: He could not remain seated on His throne while His disciple was confessing Him unto the death." Byway of Stephen's martyrdom, we get a glimpse into heaven and' an immortal testimony to its re- s ality. It was not only a gleam of glory, that well contented this first, Christian confessor, so that he had no tford of anguish concerning his own sufferings, but only ecstacy of one whose eyes looked upon his 1 King. Stephen’s sublime dying cry | was “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit — Lord, lay not this sin to their charge.” So much greater is the soul than the body that life went out of the bruised, bleeding frame so serenely that the record is that “he fell asleep.” Stephen's ministry did not end on that black day in Jerusalem. : His death scattered the embers of | the fires of faith over the whole known world. The persecution that began with him continued until the Christians were ’"Scattered abroad.” More-over, this first Christian martyrdom has been the in- ' spiration and stay of countless martyrs since. In our own time,' the churches are singing, with re-, newed zest, the hymn written nearly a century ago, by Frederick W. Faber, a convert to Catholic- j ism, who wanted his Church to sing as the Protestants were doing. T1 is “Faith of our fathers! living still, in spite of dungeon, fire and sword,” carries on the message of Stephen. “Faith of our fathers! God's great power Shall win all nations unto thee; And through the truth that comes from God Mankind shall then be truly free. Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death.” SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS Advertising is the first path to truth. —Byron. * * * We are not going to have economic recovery until we have moral and spiritual recovery.—Alfred N. Landon. ♦ ♦ ♦ For right is right, since God is God. And right the day must win; To doubt would be disloyalty, To falter would be sin.—-F. W. Faber. * * * Think twice —and say nothing.— I Chinese Proverb. » » * Thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.—lsa. 30:21. • * * A fire-mist and a planet, a crystal and a cell, A jelly-fish and a saurian, And caves where the cave-men > dwell; Then a sense of law and beauty, And a face turned from the clod. Some call it Evolution, and others call it God. —W. H. Carruth.
