Probing Our Own Times, In Name Os Nero And Paul One Os History’s Great Reversals Has Present Meaning For W orld—Decapitated, Old Apostle Still Guides Thinking Os Millions —His Parting Counsel To Young Friend. i

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS On the Appian Way three milts out from Rome, stands the beautiful "Church of The Three Fountains.” It marks the traditional site of the execution of the Apostle i Paul; and it gets its name from tradition that when Nero's swordsman decapitated the venerable mis- , sionary, his head, bouncing, struck | the earth three times, and that a fountain sprang up at each point i of contact. Doubtless the tradition is worthiless; but it commemorates the grisI ly fact that Paul, a Roman citizen, was executed in a manner not deemed shameful. The Romans I thought that they had thereby put |an end to this pestiferous propa- ' gandist of a new faith. The last word seemingly was with all-pow- ' erful Nero. How little they knew! Today I men call their dogs "Nero." but i they name their sons “Paul. ” Thousands of books, plays, articles and addresses have execrated that con I temptible and degenerate criminal 1 who occupied Ro m e's imperial 1 throne; and carelessly sentenced the aged Jew to death. Still great- ' er thousands of books, plays. aT'- | tides, lectures and sermons have : exalted the mighty brain and mightier character of the man who i serenely met death at the hands : of a Roman swordsman on the Appian Way. This week, many mill- ' ions of Sunday School members, 1 young and old. are again sitting I at the feet of Paul. ’The end proves all.’ The supreme court of hisi tory has reversed Rome's judgment. Taking The Long Look Intrenched power is usually stupid. It suffers from atrophied imagination. Rare is the Gamaliel who i counsels, "Hands off. while we wait I and see." After all. the new may I be true. When conservation becomes obscurantism it has dug its grave. Possession 01 power implies ' an obligation to take long, broad views. Poor little Nero, rotten with disease and with a mind obsessed by egotism, was not able to envisI age the might of a truth which could not be extinguished by an executioner's sword; still less did he dream that ere three centuries had passeil imperial Rome would

.become officially Christian, and the, cross surmount the eagles. In our swiftly-changing times, I with destiny riding high-powered automobiles and airplanes, thought' ful persons may well pause to con- ! sider the significance of Paul vis-1 a vis Nero. In the changes so loudly and widely propaganded nowadays how much is true, and of God? Is the old order perm tent, or has the Eternal better ways of life for His children? If He has, what are they? How do the ew notions that 'are seeping thr gh all classes of I society squar< with the Divine Law, which perpetual and universal in application? Speaking each . ,r himself we may ask | “Am 11 d tip with Nero, or with Paul?" These are definitely—and ev n desperately—days for earnest .ospection and for far vision. Swan Song Os A Saint All we really know of the last days of Saint Paul we learn from allusions in his farewell letters to his young helpers. Timothy and Titus. After his first imprisonment in Rome which lasted two years, he was freed, and he made another missionary journey. Meanwhile. Rome had burned, and to divert himself, Nero accused the Christians of being responsible. Anti-Christian persecutions intensified. Somehow, Paul was again taken to Rome, there to await the assured end. How a man dies js the final kleig light upon his character. Most men. in Paul's case, would have been engrossed in plans for escape from his fate. In such a plight, it would be natural for a man to direct all • his thought to proving his inno- , cence, and to lamenting his lot. Not so Paul. To the end, his solicitude for the kingdom was his supreme concern. He had lived for the Gospel, and he would die for the Gospel. His swan song, these Pastoral Epistles was a trumpet call to Christian living. What About Youth? Every man’s real calibre is measured by his interests. If world affairs, politics, patriotism, social welfare and the Kingdom of God ♦ « « The Sunday School Lesson for December 6 is Paul’s Farewell.—Tim. 6:16: II Tim. 4:1618; Titus 2. * «*###*##

tion then he is assuredly a big man f receive a person's principal atten- I fitted to his time. If sport news, gossip columns and comic strips | are the only sections of a newspaper that he really reads, then he is a small creature; one of the world's burdens, instead of one of its burden-bearers. For the sake of . their own souls, young people ; , ■ should itn mer s e themselves in I some enterprise greater than their I personal interests. 1 Two young men were among Paul's devoted friends and helpers 1 Timothy and Titus. To them he [ addressed his farewell letters. That they were really young, and occaI sionally looked down upon by oldsi tors, is clear from his repeated injunction to let no man despise their youth. Sage old Paul saw the advantage to youth —a counsel of momentous present importance of taking on large responsibilities when young. Why spend life’s best years in sowing the wild oats of frivolity, when there is more prof- ! it and real pleasure in planting the good grain of unselfish service and of altruistic responsibility. Putting First Things First In the bright light of a near eternity, the old man. wise above most| men who have fertilized this earth, with their thought, saw life dear, and saw it whole. He was able to ' appraise relative values. \\ hat a ( boon it was to Timothy—and to us | —to learn from this sagest of counsellors, this ripest of adventurers.; I this cosmopolitan statesman and scholar, just what is really most worth while in life. [ In the passages assigned for! study in this Lesson. Paul, deals, bluntly with the money question. Then, as now, money seemed of | paramount importance. It was the| '; prize for whi c h most persons struggled, the influence that shap- [ ed their lives. So Paul drew a pic ' ture of the consequences of the ■ pursuit of money, and the evils ’ that befall the rich, such as any i Broadway columnist could anno-

1 tate with specific names and dates . Summing up, the wise old man-a-I bout-to-dies declared that "The 1 love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” In contrast, he cried. "But thou, , O man of God. flee these things; ~ and follow after righteousness, r godliness, faith, love, patience, 5 meekness. Fight the good fight of t the faith, lay hold on the life eternal.” There it is. all summed up. Take 5 it or leave it, young man of today. J SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS 1 s.
