AT THE GH

- A great city, commercially active, religious to a high degree, a military center and a harbor so fine that it is important to this day

such was the cityof Thessalonica. i It presented a challenge to the preachers, of the gospel and, in the ! pame of Christ, Paul accepted and! won a great victory. In the face of persecution, bitter, and persistent, the believers in this city remained faithful. The reason' for that appears in our lesson. Booted and grounded ' in Christ, ,they had brought forth the fruit of real: Christian living under circumstances which were difficult and trying. Our lesson tells of both the preaching of the gospel by Paul and the living of the gospel by the Thessalonians. L The Gospel Preached Accepted and Rejected (Acts 17:1-7). ; Paul began his long and successful ministry in Thessalonica in the synagogue. It was to the Jews who worshiped the one true God that he came with his message about their expected Messiah Christ the Lord. Here he established a strong church. What was the message which so signally . succeeded in this great strategic center? Well, it was not I (as some modern preachers in large cities seem to think necessary) a series of social, politi- '. cal, or literary discourses. Paul preached Christ. He reasoned with them and presented the Saviour (v.: 3) as One who was -i... 1. Dead for our sin. These people were like us in that they needed a solution for their sin problem. Without the death of Christ there is no salvation for any man. Only through the shedding of blood can there be remission of sin (Heb. '9:22). Paul had no part in the foily

' 2. Eaised for our justification. It was not enough that Jesus died, . marvelous as that is in our sight For many a man has died for his convictions, but none has riien'

from the tfead.'rrrist could -not be holden of the grave. He arose the victorious Redeemer. 3. Declared to be the Christ. He is more than a man, more than a great leader and ah earnest teacher. He is God's anointed One, himself divine and our Lord. Some believed (v. 4), including many devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women. The gospel does have life-giving power as the Holy Spirit applies it to the hearts

of willing men and women. Others opposed (vv. 5, 6). Note ; that they were "of the baser sort." i They always are, even when they j appear to be cultivated and edu- ' cated, for there is something funda-, mentally wrong in a life which re- ; jects Christ. . . ' . j It" was a serious charge they made against the Christians (v. 7), j for it was treason punishable by j death to have any other king but ) Caesar if one lived in a Eoman : colony. ' But the thing which they hated . worst in these Christians was the j fact that their topsy-turvy world was in danger of being set right ' (they put it the opposite way, v. 6), i and they did not want to be made : right. It is interesting to note that ! these early preachers had divine ; power to turn over the social order. 1 Would that we showed more of that power in the church today! ,- ; Accepting the truth is good, but it must go on in daily, living. The Thessalonians knew that and they are models of II. The Gospel Lived Followers and Examples XI Thess. 1:2-8). Paul, the missionary, was a courteous preacher. He recognized the; faithfulness of Christian brethren ; and did not hesitate to commend them. We could do more of that when we meet true and faithful believers. They were followers of Paul, but only because he followed Christ (v. 6). His power was from above (v. . 5), even as they also were chosen from above (v. 4). Following Christ meant affliction to them (v. 6), but it also meant the joy of the Holy Spirit, which is entirely independent of the circumstances of life and above them. ' These Thessalonian believers were examples of what it meant to be Christians. Wherever Paul went their faith toward God was recognized and he did not need to explain or argue for his gospel People ' knew the Thessalonian Christians, and thus ,they knew real Christianity. There could be no finer witness to the faith of anyone than to be able to bear testimony that it is. an example a mgdel to , which others may look and not go astray.'

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Mortals and Immortals" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, November 17. The Golden Text is: "Thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ" (Galatians 4:7). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following- from the Bible: "Unto eveiy one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men" (Ephesians 4:7, 8). "Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession" (Hebrews 4:14). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "The sinless joy, the perfect harmony and immortality of Life, possessing unlimited divine beauty and goodness without a single bodily pleasure or pain, constitutes the only veritable, indestructible man, whose being is spiritual" (p. 76). "The admission to one's self that man is God's own likeness sets man free to master the infinite idea" (p. 90 V

Parents seldom realize how far-reaching anqt effective Is the religious instruction th'ay impart . to their children. The simple stories and great 'truths f the. Biblremain ikm throu-jbarit life and influence their character and conduct. -

One of the best stories coming out of the recent war was that of the lonely lad on Guadalcanal who wrote his mother asking her to join him in reading a certain Scripture passage, at a stated hour each day. This incident was a throwHacK to the religious instruction of the soldier's childhood, and it furnished the inspiration for the concerted daily Bible reading program now prepared annually by the j American Bible Society. The Guadalcanal incident was Hy no means an isolated case. Other men and women, in periods of great trial, have been sustained and strengthened by the religious training they received in childhood. This is but one of many important reasons why parents should make religion the dominant factor in their homes, and should cultivate the Church as the vehicle through which faith in God and the truths -of the Holy Scriptures are passed on from generation to generation.
