One of the world's great ; dramas tn real life te this portrayal of Paul, the many-sided apostle ' missionary, philosopher, adventur- 1 ' er. pioneer soldier of Christ. Ths Man Who Would Not Retreat In last week's Lesson we saw I ' Paul yearning to go to Bone. Now i I his wish is being luifllh-d in a | 1 strange maum-r. He la to go to - Rome, but m chain*. God was us-1 I mg the elaborate machinery of the * | Roman Empire to carry out the | ' IMvme purpose, even aa today He i Im moving the pawns of nations in I His great game. When Paul landed on the shore* |of the Holy Land, after his trip | from Miletus, where he had taken heart-breaking leave of the Epb»- - aian elders, he fellowshipped for , several days with the local Chris- ' tian community. They were full of, ■ forebodings of hi* fate In Jerusa- ' lem. A prophet, Agabua. dramatically symlmliscd the bonds that a- ' waited him in the city he loved. Paul’s answer is given verbatim ' by Luke: "What mean ye. to weep aud to break mine heart? For I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus " Stimulating glimpses of the realitly of the Christian fellowship are given; aa of that tanswell prayer , meeting on the Imaeh of Tyre (Act They had what the church i is anew now trying to attain, the 'solidarity of Christian disciple*. To those early followers of Jeau* their religion meant more lhany anything else -as It should mean today. Despite the warning* of the churches at Tyre aud Caesarea. Paul, who never turned back, pro reeded to Jerusalem. He was no (■•safety first" man. no “peace-al-any-prtce" advocate. He always I marched with face forward. DanI ger was a familiar companion to ; him It never deterred him from j his life mission. * Mob* In Jerusalem On the advice of the apoal les. Paul took steps to show that he I waa a real Jew. In vain. While lit' waa quietly fulfilling a vow In the Temple, an Incited mob gathered. ' and the uproar brought the Roman soldiers on the double quick from the Tower of Antonia to rescue him. That lower wa» placed near the Temple for just such occasions as this. 1 Last year the nuns whose church 1 is on the site, told me that there still tulst* s tunnel leading directI ly into the Temple arc t. which they have dosed from fuar of the mob* •who nowadays so easily arise In H Jerusalem. The Oriental temperai inn'ft. which expresses Itself In I sudden popular outburst*, has al- ' way* been characteristic of tho old 'icily. Following the Roman guard to | the tower, the mob kept crying. "Away with him!" just as they had dime when Jesus waa a captive of .I Rome on the same spot. Paul could I not have missed the significance II of (his. His heart must have thrillt ed at the thought of the Identity 11 of bi* experience with that of hl* . \ Master He was In fellow.ihlp with .***• • • • • * i' • • * ’ * * * •* * I! ‘The Sunday School Lesson for June 4 I*.

Christ's aufferinge. Thia madness of mobisin seems to be affecting the world In new vigor today. There Ta a vogue of "demounttatioua'' and ‘'marchea" which given reign to the mob mind. One practical teaching of the present Leaaon is that no follower of the mob-lynchod Jeaus should ev•er surrender bis personality to the madness of mob rule Korean* Who Failed While I was writing thia Lesson there came to me a tragic letter from Korea, where the Japanese have decreed that everybody must do obeisance at the imperial shrine A Christian school had been ordered to march in a body to the ■hrlne. The teachers pointed out to the students that this act I* idolatry, and It was derided to close the school rather than to comply. At this, the Japanese with drew their order temporarily. But later they forcibly marched the whole student body to the shrine, and ordered them to bow. Most had to beaten severely liefore they would do so. All succumlx-d except one boy, who was being regularly tortured when the letter was written. Not all of us have the Pauline courage in bearing testimony. Yet In ways small and great, the test comes to everyone of u* to show our allegiance to Christ. Our I>-ss<m includes several eloquent speeches by Paul in bls own defense. He could point to his blameless life, and to hie “conaciI ence void of offense.” Character counts most in all emergencies. ‘ What we really are and have been I is the bMt pleader for us In hours I of trial. If youth could but under- ' stand the importance of noble living to all their future, we should have a breed of greater men and women (or life's future testing times. John B Gough s last words were. “Young man. keep your record clean!” It was thus that Paul waa able .to stand before kings and judgi-a, a brave man confronting pusillanimous politician*. It is a sad picture ot politician* that we have In this la-ssim -and in the day's newspapers. Their pettiness. their cowardice, their trucking to mob passion*, are a vivid challenge to the election of a better type of public servant. A Pauline career await* men In this field. Ignoble politics railroaded Paul to Rome, where he desired to be; but the king* and judges before whom be at<H>d stand pilloried in an immortality of shame.
