WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Sunday Schools to Review Lessons of the Quarter

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Sept. 37: Review. By Wm. E. Gilroy Editor of The Congregationalist . HE review of the quarter s j I'l lessons deals with the power J of the Gospel. if any one doubts the power of the Gospel, he might find the evidences of it. if not in the spiritual achievement, in its worldly growth and conquest. Think of the world Christianity has developed from,, Paul's simple response to the Macedonian call! But a few centuries elapsed until even politically the religion that Paul introduced to Europe had become the greatest force in the empire. "V But we are concerned not with these outward achievements, but with the spiritual meaning and triumph of the Gosjyel. Paul was not concerned simply about building up earthly empires. His pride and glory in the Gospel centered in the fact that It was the power of God unto salvation, and it was in contrast with the power of Imperial Rome that he asserted tne supremacy of the power of Christ and said in addressing those at Rome: “I am not ashamed of the Gosepl.” What is this Gospel? Jt was defined for Paul in its origin, its nature, and its results. It had its origin In the grace of God, not a theory but a fact, a fact fully evidenced for Paul in Jesus Christ In whose life and character lie saw the fullness of God’s grace, and in whose sacrificial death he saw the outpouring of love for a lost world. The cross was for Paul the central fact of grace, and the resurrection was the seal and witness of the reality of the new life. This Gospel, springing from the grace of God, was for Paul a Gospel of righteousness and of practical goodness. It was not a theory or a theological formula. It was a practical Gospel, definitely related to conscience and duty’. The fruit of the spirit could not be disassociated from the Gospel. The results of this Gospel which evidenced its power for Paul were manifest in changed lives. We have not adequately conceived the Gospel from the standpoint of its results or properly realized its wide variety of expression as the power of God. Power is not confined to one form or expression. An engineer determines power by what it will accomplish. In religion we have not been as careful to do this. Too often Christian leaders nave assumed that powe • could only be of one sort, and could be manifested only In one way. Thus they have argued and quarreled ; uu,t the nature of the Gospel and about the way and method of salvation while they might better have acknowledged that the power of god Is manifest wherever men are saved, and In whatever way. Dr. John McNeil has said, ‘'The Lord has queer ways of saving some people."

That is very true. It is a great mistake for us to imagine that all experiences of the Christians life must be exactly similar to our own or must come in exactly the same way. It is the quality of the Gospel that it saves men: and wherever and however men are saved and brought into newness of life, we may be sure that the Gospel is at work. It would be interesting to follow Paul through all his visits in these ancient cities, and to see in what

Jews and Greeks alike were brought under its transforming power, though probably their backgrounds and experiences, and the actual processes of transformation, differed considerably. The review of the quarter’s lessons, as the study of every lesson with reference to journeys and places, should be made with constant reference to the map. and with an effort to gain some conception of conditions in the places visited.
