_ WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSONIn Antioch of Pisidia

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson tor July 12. The Gospel in Antioch of Pisidia. Acts 13: 43-52. By \Vm. E. Gilroy,' D. D. Editor of the Congregationnlist ROM the greatest and most t r I i rn P ortant of all the Antlochs, li I Antioch in Syria, we turn now to Antioch of Pisidia, whither Paul and Bumabas tame on their first missionary journey. Asa mat ter of fact this Antioch was not actually in Pisidia, but was near Pisidia. The method of these early missionaries was to choose the synagogue as their place for expounding the Gospel, but opposition hastily arose and those who professed the Christian fdith were either put out of the synagogue or the synagogues were broken up over the controversies about the Christian way. When difficulties arose about preaching the Gospel in the synagogue the missionaries readily adapted themselves to the proclaiming of the word wherever they had opportunity. The record is that “the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God,” and this coming of th? multiutude to hear the Gospel filled with jealousy and bitterness those who were opposed to the new religion Not Turned Aside Probably they were as much as anything incensed because of their Judaistic prejudice because Paul and Barnabas had turned to the Gentiles. But Paul and (Barnabas were determined In their course and could not be dissuaded by either opposition or criticism. In fact, they justify from the Jewish scriptures this beginning of foreign missionary work. For they quote God’s command: ”1 have set thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou shouldst be for salvation unto the utmost parts of the earth.” Surely, there could have been no better or larger foundation for world religion than that. The Gentiles to whom Paul and Barnabas turned responded eagerly. The record is that “they were r>ad and glorified the word of God.'* In this opposition to Paul and Barnabas there were, however, associated the elements that are always found In antagonism to new truth. There w%re those whose outlook was narrow, who were selfish and unscrupulous, who were bigots with little real interest in vital religion; but there were also those who were very sincere, but who were very conservative in their way of thinking. and who lacked the power to see the soul of goodness and truth in anything that was new. Exiled From City The unscrupulous foes of new truth have always tried to persuade

these sincere people of very conservative temper that they are the defenders of true religion and thus It happened in this case. The Jews urged on “the devout women of honorable estate" and the chief men of the city, and In this way stirred up opposition against Paul and Barnabas and thrust them out. Nothing daunted the missionaries, so they went on to Iconlum. There was no thought of surrender. If their course was shaped by the seeming triumph of their enemies they had the spiritual triumph of proving faithful to their mission. Is there not in that a spiritual parable of life? Few of us can choose the environment that we might prefer. To all of us come changes and disappointments, and perhaps we are disposed to say, “If I could only have had a better chance, I could have done so much.” Yet here were these men of Christian faith, driven from place to place, fulfilling their mission no matter what the conditions. Anew environment and new opposition meant only new vigor in meeting it. They triumphed In their own day and the largeness of their triumph has become apparent through the centuries. It was these efforts that spread Christianity to Europe. (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) I,ane for “The Mikado” Luplno Lane, the famous English comedian, has been engaged by the Messrs.
