Chapters 11 nd 14 ot Acta tell M •bout the first ortaruzed I oral (■ mission project la the history at the Christian church. It is the story at how the Cliapii wai taken out at the narrow strip of coastlsnd along

the eastern ihore of the Mediterranean. where ft was bom, out Into the western world. e • e The Beit They Had THE FIRST missionary party were not raw untried men. They were Barnabas and Saul, the top leaders of Antkteh. These mer had done a great work in Antioch; their usefulness there was not at an end by any means. But the church sent them away to win souls elsewhere. It is a mistake to _ suppose that just anybody will do as a missionary. ' Ifocrut pcsplc whe that missionaries arc only the "cwUs” es the church liw*t know the facta. A few yearn ■■ ago a scientist, EUsworth flnafttegton. made * study of the graduates ri Yale and Harvard who were sacceeriri enough to be written up In "Who’s Who h Aatrta." Be found that iwnienariea mm nirrusnea toe largest proportion es those «ecceesfel men. J The reason for this, he believed, is that only in missionary families do you find that both parents, and not just one. have to go though a rigid sifting process. Only the best — mentally, morally, physically—are accepted by the church today as ifiisWtoWtee: —■ s — Strategic Centers SAUL., or Paul. ..who came rapid- ■ ly to the front in the missionary tesm. was all for efficiency. He never did 1 thing the hard way it an easier way would save his Cnergy. So we find him heading for the great centers of population. In the synagogues he would find the most religious people In the city, people who already believed In the One God and who took seriously the Law and the Prophets. Barnabas and Saul stuck to cities for another reason also. Not that they despised small town folk, but they knew that etties are where the croa-.lv ary. For every dozen peotie they could reach In a village, there were hundreds to be reached 1 in the cities. So today, mission I _ work has generally concentrated 1 first In the most heavily settled 1 _.__rejpo«w. __ • • i~~~ Tllse SAI’;.
