Amidst Layered History, Christian Hero Pioneered i Forsaking Homer’s Troy, And Accumulated Associations Ot Asia, Paul Pushed Westward And (rave Gospel To Europe—Place Os Pioneering Spririt In World Today;

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS One round, wholesale criticism of our world of today is that it is universally bent on "safety first." Soc-[ ial timidity, narow nationalism, eco-; nomie conservation, all are primar-! ily seeking security, and the maintenance of the "status quo ante." l All forms of state socialism look to this end Desire for mass solidarity and mutual protection have taken the place of the old "wildernesspenetrating pioneer spirit. Youth wants a "job," rather than an opopportunity. There is frantic seal everywhere for legislation that will give everybody security. Well, perhaps that is beat for most of us. But society will die or dry rot unless it is kept alive by the spirit o finitiative. We simply cannot maintain a good lite for all of us unless we have a fair propor- ( tion of way-showers and road mak- 1 ers. We desperately need today, in the realm of religion as elsewhere men and women who hear within their souls the cry that haunted the spirit of Kipling's 'Explorer' : “Till a voice, as bad as conscience, rang interminable changes, On one everlasting whisper, day and night repeated—so: 'Something hidden. Go find it. Go and look behind the ranges Something lost behind the ranges. Lost, and waiting for you. j Go!' ” Putting Tang Into Life Life goes stagnant, like water, when it is too long settled. Those who seek security and comfort first, likp houne cats, cease td make any vital contribution to society. Pioneering, in any held, puts tang and satisfaction into one's ways. The persons who have dared are the ones longest remembered. We build monuments to the men and women who were our pioneers: but there are no public memorials to the men who sat tight at home and merely got rich. God put the Divine spark into the human breast that youth might dare and aspire. Our current apotheosis of stale sin, which leads thin-brained “intellectuals” to deem it original and car-eer-making to sit on Paris sidewalks and sip cocktails, is merely a sTJn of our stock's degeneracy. All the while, there await, in every sphere of church and State and knowledge and invention, op- »*»»»•»♦ *The Sunday School Lesson for October 4 is Paul Pioneering Westward.—Acts 15:36— 16-15; Roman 15:18-21, *•••**«»

portunities for stout spirits who dare to break away from the) , crowds and the conventions, to ex-] ! plore new fields for man's progress. There is not a neighborhood in the. Hand that could not be transform-1 ;ed by a little fresh thinking and, I activity. i One Paul, burning with ambition. I altered the entire character of the early Christian Church. Yes; Paul had ambition. It is explicitly stated | tn our Lesson text (Rom. 15:20 R. i |V.), "Being ambitious so to preach , the gospel, not where Christ was j already named, that I might not) build up- n another man's founds i tion." The person who organizes Jan out post Sunday School, or erea'es a vital mission study class, or - reates a vital mission study class or originates wholesome recreation for young peoplu, | s | n apostolic succession to Paul, the Pioneer. The Book Os Pioneers ; Musing upon this urgent and vital theme, we awakened to the realization of how largely pioneering bulks in the Bible, from Abraham to Jesus and Paul. The New Testai ment is a book of restless activity. The Master could not settle down; His repeated "I must go" stars the ' Gospel pages After His final Great i Commission. His Church became a hive of out reaching energy, ever swarming into new fields of adventure and activity. II Os these trail-breakers, heroic Paul of Tarsus was easily first. His 1 ever outward pressing activities were foremost in giving the Christian Church a world wide character. Ever since his day, a long train of pioneers- St. Patrick, Francis Xavier. Carey, Morrison, i Uvingatone—have ben extending i the frontiers of Christ's Kingdom. i We may not become so engrossed in the experiences of Paul that we forget his present day successors I Every good missionary book is a ! commentary upon this Lesson. lincideutally, let it be remembered that Paul personally enjoyed life to its fullness. It is common to speak of his labors with commiseration for his sufferings. But as I followed in his footsteps, over all the scenes of his adventures, I realized that he had richer travelling experiences than any modern I cruise tourist ever achieves. In Homer's Troy Take, for illustration, the start. • ing point of his signal westward exploit. Troas was the port of Troy, an integral part of the Troad. As a sical scholar, how this cultivated I aew must have revelled in the remainders and reminders of the city immortalized by Homer. Perhaps the books and parchments which t behind in Troas were h'is

copy of the Odessy and the Haiti I Nor could he have been unmindful lof Phillip of Macedon, and his greater son, Alexander, and Cass ' | i lua ana Brutua and Anthony, as ba i Invaded history-crowded Philippi. 'I thrillad over these sites how I mueh more he! > Every fibre of his great brain alive as he brooded over Troy, Paul' ! had a vision. He saw a man of i Macedonia, and heard him calling, j "Come over into Macedonia, anti help us.” It was only a dream: there was no real man of Macedonia Yet the need was itself a 1 call. When he got to that turbulent > 1 land, he was mobbed. Only a little 1 group of godly women welcomed him. One of the commonest of missionary misceptions is that the heathen i are clamoring for the Gospel. His- | tory is clear that most mlsßionaries have had to make their way against indifference and opposition. 1 I They were not wanted, but they I I were needed; even as was Paul in Macedonia. The Great Crossing This event of Paul's crossing the 1 Aegan from Asia to Europe has been highly dramatized in sermons and books, it has oeen likened to I Caesar’s crossing the Rubicon, and Columbus’ discovering America. Actually, of course, the political 1 units which we call Asia and Europe did not then exiat. The Asia Paul left and the Europe he entered were both parts of the one Roman Empire. Doubtless he himself did nofi realize that he was making the great crossing into the western world, which, beyond Rome, waa still enveloped in primitive paganism Little did Paul dream that the Word was to be carried to the skin clad Saxons and Celts and Gauls, and that one day they would become the greatest Christian nations. Nobody ever knows what the consequences will be when he starts pioneering for God.
