on &s., l aea Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson, The Christian Minister, I Cor. 9:1, 13-23, 26-27, for Sunday, October 20. Just as Christ came into the world not to be ministered unto but to minister, so Paul cites his own life as an example of the surrender of personal rights for the sake of attaining Christian objectives. The lesson stresses the importance of the ministry in the life of the church and the respon-

sibilities of church members toward their ministers. Vs. 1, 2. "Am 1 not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord? .... If 1 be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in i the Lord.” Apparently some questioned Paul's apostleship because he was not one of the original twelve disciples appointed by Christ. He defends his right to call himself an apostle because he had seen Christ, not in the flesh, but in the spirit, on the Damascus road, in the house of Titus Justus and inprison. His testimony of Christ had won many Corinthians to become Christians — another evidence of his apostleship. Vs. 13, 14. "De ye not know that which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple, and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? . . . Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel." The priests in the temple had the sacred food from the altar to eat. and likewise, those who preach the gospel of Christ should receive their livelihood from those to whom it is preached. V. 15. "But I have used none of these things neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.*’ While Paul preached he worked as a tent-maker to support himself He did not make use of the privileges he could have had as a minister because he was driven by a divine complusion to preach and wanted merely the satisfaction of ministering to the people. Vs. 16, 17. "For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel . . For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.” Paul considered himself commissioned by Christ t 0 ?ar 7s n a and any failure to’ carry out this commission wuold lead to anguish of soul and dire consequences. In his opinion, his reward would be in the joy of accomplishment without any remuneration. Vs. 18, 19. "What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel .. . For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.” The Christian gospel is a gospel of love, and Paul felt that by working without recompense he was demonstrating the meaning of disinterested love and the blessing of true Christian fel lowship. By being under no obligation to the people for his livelihood, he could give himself wholeheartedly to the use of all his talents in spreading the gospel of Christ. The minister is a servant of God and consequently, a servant of men, that he may win more to Christ. Vs. 20, 21, 22. 23. "And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; . . To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law of Christ) that I might gain them that are without law. . To the weak became I as weak, hat I might gain the weak: I am made all men, that I might by all means save some ... And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.” Paul

realized that compromise with policies and practices was necessary at times though never did he compromise when a moral principle was at stake. When with Jews, Paul capitalized on his birthright as a Jew; when with the weak, he admitted his own weaknesses to become one of them. He identified himself with all humanity in order to win all humanity. Vs. 26, 27. "I therefore so run, notes .uncertainly; fl> J, not as one that beateth the air: . But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection; test that by any means, when I have preach-to others, I myself should be a castaway. Self control in all areas of living was necessary if Paul was to make preaching the gospel his whole life, and be a good example. Friendship cheers like • sunbeam; charms like a good story; inspires like a brave leader; binds like a golden chain; guides like a heavenly vision. — N. D. Hillis. Ideas must work through the brains and arms of good and brave men, or they are no better than dreams. — Emerson.
