Turkey In The Days Os News: The Good NewsMnto Turkey Glimpses Os The Land Os Christianity’s Outreach —Memories Os Tarsus, Paul’s City— How The Gospel Began To Exp and.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Looking out of the window of our Canadian log cabin camp yesterdir . I saw a distinguiehed appearing tnan making hia way toward ue. It was Dr. Alexander MacLawhlan, the toted Canadian educator and missionary, who had done us the honor to hunt us out in the woods. Dr. MacLachlan topent a life-time in Turkey. Although best known as president of International College. Smyrna, it was he who first established a missionary school at Tarsus, the home town of St. Paul —“St. Paul's Institute,” later associated with the names of the great Dr. and Mrs. Christie. As may be imagined. Dr. MacLaichland and I had a high time exchanging reminiscences of the Near East, and discuse. ing things Turkish. Turkey is afresh in the day’s news, because of the recently signed Straits convention. One of the notable facts of present-day world politics is the powerful influence new Turkey has exercised for peace on the Balkans and in the whole Near East, in striking contrast to the behavior of certain of her "Christian" neighbors. I am mentioning Turkey, and Tarsus. and modern missions there, because I want to localize the scene of the day’s lesson. We need to make alive Bible siteti by using their modern names. These we all real places, to which any one may go. as I have gone. Antioch, center of our Lesson, is a Turkish city. Cyprus, now 1 British, was long Turkish; and the famous missionary labors of Paul were mostly in the land that later became Turkey. The City of the Chalies Multitudes have of late had their minds turned to Antioch, where the disciples of Jesus were host called Christians, by the exhibition of the Antioch Chalice, which may have been the very cup from which our Lord and His disciples drank at- the farewell Supper, The old city is now a picturesque town set amidst famous ruins, where archaelogy has recently been making notable finds. It is reached from Aleppo, and when I vtedted it, over banditinfested roads, we had exciting times. It is in this neighborhood * The Sunday School Lesson for August 30 is Pioneering the Gospel. — Acts 11:19-26; 13:1-12.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1936.

that events of the popular novel, "Forty Days On Musa Dagh,” are laid. More history, secular and religious, was enacted in thin great city of Antioch than could be catalogued in this entire column. Antioch early superseded Jerusalem as the missionary center of the Christian Church. The very lair of the metrunotis breathed cosmopolitanwia. C* Before ever great-visioned Barnabas called Saul from Tarsus to assist him, the city had witnessed extra-Jew-ish Christian activities, under the leadership of converts who were Immigrants from far Cyrene and from Cyprus. Luke calls an impressive roll of the leaders in the booming Antioch Church. A community so full of personalities simply could not confine its activities within its own borders. There have always been churches of this sort. Their vitality has called for self-expression by expansion; and they have estab lished other churches, beyond their own bounds. "Out-post Sunday Schools" have long been a characteristic of congregations possessed of abundajit life. In a racent Christian Observer I saw a photograph of the six Sunday School missions of the Bream Memorial Presbyterian Church, of Charleston, W. iVa., the origin of which was credited to one aggreHbive layman. Small wonder thai the parent church now has more than two thousand members. Would that we might have everywhere a revival of the Antioch fashion —the church that is not content unless it is expanding. Historic Moments That was a momentous day in the world’s religious history when the Christians of Antioch gathered on the dock of Seleucia, the neighboring seaport, and trade farewell to the first Christian missionaries, Barnabas and Saul, with young John Mark as their attendant, as they sailed in one of the small craft of the time for the Islajid of Cyprus. Ten thousand times that experience has been repeated; right down to our own day; and many a great liner has on its passenger list—usually travelling second or third class — missionaries bound for the ends of the earth. The average man has no conception of the magnitude and variety of mission work ais it is carried on today. War news from Ethiopia and China and ether distant lands

causes the uames of missionaries to pop out in the news columns; but mostly the transforming work of these forerunners of civllizaHftn and of tho Kingdom la done quietly, without the public’s knowledge. Antioch sent of its best on that first foreign missionary adventure; and the Church has been doing the same ever wmee It has been my privilege to meet more than a thousand missionaries on their fields, in three continents and islands of the sea; ami 1 heartily testify to their average of high character and culture; their efficiency and their devotion. Only a world wanderer who has been welcomed into tho warm and charming circle of a remote missionary group can know how really great are many of these ambassadors of the Church to "the regions beyond." Running Into Trouble Once the popular conception of a missionary was a long-faced man in a frock coat and a top hat, standing under a palm tree with an open Bible in his hand, preaching to eager, naked natives. It never watt like that. From the earliest days the missionary has met indifference or hostility. When Barnabas nad Paul (Saul’s name changes at this point in the story) ran up against Elytnas. the sorcerer, he opposed them. Apparently, witch-craft, clairvoyance, astrology, numerology, and such like were as popular in Cyprus as they are in America today. Paul did not compromise with sorcery. And he was not mealymouthed. milk and water saint, apologetic for living. He bunt forth into virile arrajgnment that should stiffen the speech of every preacher: “O full of all guile and all villainy, thou son of the devil, than enemy of all unrighteousness!” And he smote Elymas, "the enlightener,” with blindness; which act opened the eyes of Sergius, uhe pro-consul, to the truth. As this missionary story confronts us with the cults that are leading myriiads astruy in our own time, we need to hear Rudyard Kipling’s ringing summons:Hold ye the Faith—the Faith outfathers sealed us; Whoring not with wise and overstale. Except ye pay thc Lord Single heart and single dword. Os your children in their bondage shall He them treble-tale."
