First Feted, Then Mobbed: An Old Story Oft Repeated Sensational Scenes In Old Lystra, As First Missionaries Were Hailed As Gods, And Soon Stoned —A Traveller’s Memories Os Historic Places.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Names of present-day statesmen 1 come naturally to mind as we read this exciting lesson Story—Hamsy MacDonald. President Roosevelt, I Trotsky and lesser figures. Once dolized: their every arrival an ovai tion —and now the objects of bitter i hostility. History’s habits are hard |to change. When they were first acclaimed at Lystra as gods, and then quickly stoned as criminals, I wonder if Paul and Barnabas thought of the experience of their Master, as He was bailed with hosannas, and then, shortly afteri ward, assailed with shouts of “Crucify Him!” Anybody who sets out to win public favor, as his measure of success in life, would do well to ponder the truth of this Lesson. Nothing is more fickle than the applause of the crowd. Every fewdays we read of the death, in obscurity and poverty, of some forgotten favorite of yesteryear. As a goal and reward of life, popular- ' ity is uncertain and nstable. Highier motives are needed to sustain a spirit's noblest efforts. Read Kipling’s poem. "The Files,” for a colloquial and entertaining presentation of this theme. In Old Lystra Even great cities are not enduring. The Rome of the Caesars has been ruined and buried. Lystra, the booming metropolis of Asia Minor, to which Paul and Barnabas, the first Christian missionaries, carried the Good News, is now a miserable mud village, the houses of which use carved Roman marbles tor door sills, and gorgeous classical sarcophagi for watering troughs I found the villagers of Lystra hospitable. When 1 declined urgings to remain overnight they filled iny car with luscious melons, tor which the region is famous. They are desperately poor, and almost every person I saw was manifestly suffering from malaria, and some from dropsy. Lystra is now far off from beateu highways. Aside from the marble fragments of departed glory, now put | to base uses, the only antiquity of note is the basic ruin of a oncegreat church, besides a lovely spring of sweet water; a reminded of the abiding results of Paul’s • *«•**»* • *«***««• • "The Sunday School Lesson For September 6 is Paul and Barnabas At Lystra.—Acts 13: 13-14:28; Rom. 10:8-15. ««•***«** _•a» « » * *

initiative. So remote ia Lyxtra that even the Italian soldiers, who, imi mediately after the war, over-ran this part of Turkey, expecting to occupy Adalia permanently, had not penetrated to it. Pioneers In Romance Land Only the Lystra experience of the Christian pioneers is recorded in our Lesson; but Paul and Barnabas had undergone many exciting adventures after leaving the Island of Cyprus for the mainland. Their companion. John Mark, had quit them in a blue funk. At Antioch in Piaidia—not to be confused with Antio< h in Syria—they had stirring experiences, including I many Gentile converts and a first • class riot | They were driven out of the city, I and proceeded to Iconium, the i modern Konai, railway center of i new Turkey; and the scene of the really heroic exploits of Miss Cush man. an American missionary, dining the war. That tale is too long to tell here, and I am glad that • Dr. George Stewart is putting it I into a book; for no other war-time I woman was such a brilliant hero- | ine. It naturally links with the exi periences of Paul and Barnabas in , the same City. In spite of opposi 'tion from the Jews, the two pionI eers labored long and boldly in i Iconium. until a mad outburst of ' rioting and lynch law forced them ' to move on to Lystra. But not to cease their labors. - These great souls could be divert- ' ed by nothing from their engrossing task I know of no better way ' to put courage and purpose into ' the heart of youth than to study the heroisms of The Book of The Acts, tracing the word "bold" and its derivatives ’ through all of its ses. We could do with a few more Pauls and Baruabases in the Church and in the Nation, today. of the minor sights of Lystra was a congenital cripple, apparently a beggar, and familiar to every citizen. Probably his post was at the temple gate. He heard Paul speak, and into his discouraged heart crept the new faith that this wonderful foreigner could heal his life-long affliction. The ; preacher had an eye for a receptive spirit and seeing this man’s faith, healed him on the spot; so that the lame man, who had never once used his legs, leaped to his feet, and walked and danced and shouted. £ “Viva The Foreigners!” Naturally, a sensation followed The city rang with the story. Crowds thronged to see the man ion whom the miracles had been wrought, and the foreigners who had wrought it. Excitement rose to

hysteria. Then a new Idea began to run in a whisper through the mob: "These foreigners are not men but bods! Jupiter and Mercury have visited us," even as their literature had oft related of other times and other places. Soon the whisper became a shout, "The gods are come down to s in the likeness of men!” They called the larger more impoalng Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, the smaller and the speaker, they named Mercury. Shrewd and complaisant, the priest of Jupiter, a time-serving ecclesiastic, perceiving the prestige that would accrue to his temple brought forth the festal garluds there have offered sacrifice to the and oxen, and would then and there have offedel sacrifice to the two missionaries. Many an evangelist and preacher has yielded to the temptation to accept such public favor as a mark of success. Not so Paul and Barnabas. They were scandalized, and rent their cloaks in distress and protest, and ran in among the people insisting that they were but men of like passions with their fellows. They upset a prospective pagan festival by preaching the Message they had come to deliver. Reaction soon followed, abetted by a vindictive deputation of lynch-ing-minded Jews from Pisidian Antioch. So Paul was mobbed and stoned and left for dead. But no mob can kill a man whose work is not yet done; and the next day the missionaries departed for Derbe, city of which today hardly a trace remains. With hardihood nothing less than heroic, Paul and Barnabas returned to the three cities where they had been mobbed, comforting, confirming and organizing their converts. What a debt religion owes to such heroes, and their countless like-minded successors!

Union Chajtel United Brethren church, located three miles northeasts of Decatur, is closing the conference year with some very worthwhile achievements. In the eaerly fall a revival meeeting was held which resulted in five conversions and 24 additions to the church. Since then through deaths and transfers there have been several lossew. The total gain for the year is 14 members. A Missionary society was organized with Mrs. Addie Rabbitt, president. There are now 15 mem bers, a fine program of study is being carried out, and liberal contributions are being sent to help support missionaries on the field In the month of November about a dozen people enjoyed the pilgrimage to the Otterbein Home near Lebanon, Ohio, and helped to cheer the hearts of children and aged people who have found a home there through the benevolence of the United Brethren church. Union Chapel made a Christmas offering of J 29 to this home.

One very fine experience of the year was the 10 weekn education and practice in Christian Stewardship in the early spring, the results of which has brought up the financial interests of the church to a great victory. The benevo- j

During the year they have made about SSOO. They have been instrumental in putting in new cement walks at the church aud adding $396 to the parsonage fund this year. The Christian Endeavor under the leadership of Earl Chase, president, made 100% on its standard. Ten members attended part or all of the convention at Wa,wasee this summer. The young people presented a new clock and a beautiful tablescarf to the church, with an appropriate ceremony. The Sunday School with Thurman Drew, superintendent, has carried on through the year with many successes. While fluctuating in attendance because of extreme cold icy winter aud many summer vacations, interest has been good and fine co-operation has been given in carrying out the church’s program. After meeting all its expenses this organization contributed SIOO to the local budget of the church and $lO2 to the parsonage fund. Children’s Day was observed by presenting the very fine playlet, "Feed My Sheep." Mrs. Forrest Walters was head of this committee. The Sunday school assisted in making possible a full quota in Religious Telescopes. Sixteen families now hav.e this fine weekly paper com-
