PAUL'S WIDENING FIELD OF SEEVICE LESSON TEXT Acts 13:1-5, 13, 14, 44-46. 48, 49; M:26, 27. ' MEMORY SELECTION But when it pleased God ... to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen. Galatlans 1:15, 18.

God uses men to accomplish his high and holy purpose of preaching the gospel in all the world. They must, however, be men who have been called by the Holy Spirit, prepared and sent out by' him. They must be willing to labor and to sacrifice without limit for his glory. Paul was such a man, and as we study the widening sphere of his service and Influence, we catch a vision of what missions should mean In the church. I. A Missionary Call (Acts 13:1-4). . 1 Much discussed among earnest Christians is the question of what constitutes a missionary call. ' The need must be brought home . to the individual believer's heart by the Holy Spirit, and he must give a-conviction that one is to go out to meet that-need, j Note that the call came through a, live, active and well-equipped .Ichurch in Antioch, a city of Syria. It was a cosmopolitan church read ,the names of those who served j there. They were of many nationalities and of various occupations and jsoclal positions. In the midst of that ; group were two "exceptionally able preachers, Barnabas and Paul.

They all loved the Lord and served him. : 'To such a church the Holy Spirit

can speak, be heard and obeyed. 'Notice that they gave of their best, at the direction of the Spirit, not (Withholding it for themselves (cf. II i Sam. 24:24). God wants our best.

Sent forth by ;the Holy Spirit these

men went promptly and willingly. Why should the Lord have to plead,

and prod, and wait for his people to obey him? ,

n. A Missionary Conquest (Acts

13:4, 5, 13, 14, 44-46, 48, 49.

To - trace this first missionary

journey it is well to look at the map

illustrating the Acts and epistles at the back of most Bibles.

.It will appear at once that it was not an easy itinerary these men undertook. It involved travel by sea,

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Probation after Death" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, October 27. The Golden Text is: "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him" (James.l:12). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality" (I Corinthians 15:51-63). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "We know that all will be changed 'in the twinkling of an eye,' when the last trump shall sound; but this last call of wisdom cannot come till mortals have already yielded to each lesser call in the growth of Christian character. Mortals need not fancy that belief in the experience of death will awaken them to a glorified being" (p. 291).

(through difHcult country, and often, among hostile and hateful peoples, j God does not call his servants to an air-conditioned arm-chair evangelism. His Word must go out .where it has never been heard, and that means pioneering among the most backward of peoples, the neediest of this earth. It means workling in rescue missions, in thankless and difficult pastorates; yes, anywhere the Divine Executive, the (Holy Spirit, may direct. . Paul met hoth popularity and persecution, and that not far apart. After the experience of acceptance land rejection on the island of Cyjprus (Acts '13:7, 8), Barnabas and 'Paul went to Antioch in Pisidia (a different city than Antioch in Syria; see map). Here they were invited to preach in the synagogue and Paul was blessed in the presentation of a powerful gospel message. Read it in Acts 13:1641. It met with such a response that the people "besought that these words taight be preached to them the next' Sabbath" (v. 42). So great was the popularity of Paul's message that the whole city came the next Sabtath "to hear the Word of God." What a wonderful sight that must have been. '' But' wait there is something else here beside popularity, and its name is jealousy (v. 45). It caused the Jews to blaspheme as they contradicted Paul's preaching. Jealousy . always makes a fool out of the one who yields to it. Yet this green-eyed monster is permitted to go right on hindering the work of God. The result in this case .was that Paul turned from the Jews .to the Gentiles with the gospel, to their great joy and delight. This is a great turning point in the history !of the ehurch. . Now .the .preachers turn homeWard to Antioch in Syria, and there they had III. A Missionary Conference (Acts 14:26, 27). " Nothing stimulates missionary giving, and praying, and going in a local church like a live missionary .conference, where those who have jbeen on the field come back and ftell what the Lord has done as they ,went out to serve him. ' It is good to know that what the Lord led men out to do has been fulfilled. That completes the circle iof divine guidance and blessing, and strongly encourages us to go again j and others 'to go for the first time to do missionary work -for .God. The church which does not have Isuch an annual missionary conference misses a blessing and an opIportunity for enlarged vision and (service. No pastor or church can jBffordV-.to miss; such Vn '"ripen! door forHhe'working of 'the Holy Spirit

That mail-box on the city corner . . . that post office at the country crossroads . . . what would we do without them? Life is too complex for us to live by ourselves. Man's interests and his welfare reach far beyond the boundaries of his community. Communication with people and corporations hundreds of miles away is a part of modern living that we take for granted. We have to "keep in touch." . . ' But long before, life became so complex, men 'discovered their need for another l;.ind of communication prayer. The courage and faith and hope which clip men for the challenge of each day come from God. The deep spin Lucd needs of the soul can be supplied only by keeping in touch with God. ' We think our mail-boxes are indispensable! Even so, one church means more to a community iharrall its postal facilities. For not so long ago men lived very happily without a postal system. But men have Sever lived happily without God!
