By WILLIAM T. ELLIS There is nothing "slow" about this Lesson. It is one of the most brilliant pieces of reporting by the ablest correspondent of the first century. Dr. Luke, the writer, suppresses his own name, but his lively style, his zest for adventure and Incident, and his alertness to note . every seaport, proclaim the Greek. This time he is covering the journey of Paul and his party from Miletus, where the heart- wrenching farewell to the Ephe- sian elders had taken place, to Jer- usalem, whither the ' Apostle was bound for the Passover. Lovers of maps (as are all care- ful students of history and of their own times) will find that the course lay, roughly, east by southeast. Both the day's news and our schoolbook memories beckon us aside to consider the ports at which the "little ship touched--Cos,. or Coos, now called Stanchio, where in classical times was a medical school and a temple to Aesculapius; Rhodes, with its harbor containing one of the seven wonders of the world; now one of the group of is- lands «called "Dodecanese," possess- ed by Italy but claimed by Greece; Cyprus, now ruled by Great Britain, but with the resident Greeks send- ing protest after protest to London and Geneva, claiming autonomy; Tyre, once mistress of the Mediter- ranean, but now only a village "with the causeway built by Alexander the Great so silted up that the for- mer island is now part of the main- land; Ptolemais, better known as Acre, famous in Crusader annals, as well as in classical history; Caes- area, the newer, greater city that figures often in the records of the Apostolic Church. What a day this would be for us all had I the space, and the power, to help readers see all these places as they now are, and as I have seen them! Good Friends' Bady Advice. Following Luke's example, we must subordinate everything else to the' personal adventures and spir- {tual experiences of Paul. From Miletus to Jerusalem, the burdened missionary experienced one pro- longed ago: of parting from friends, and of rejecting their ad- vice. They foresaw, what he al- 'ready knew, that persecution and suffering awaited him on this Jeru- salem wisit; therefore they tried to 3 dissuade him. Probably there never was a doer of great deeds who did not have to disregard the advice of those who loved him best. Few married men would ever amount to anything if they ylelded to their wives' solicitation that they "rest" and spare themselves extra effort. Many mothers would rather have their children abide with them at home, in the pleasures of family companionship, than fare forth to the rigors of discipline and fitness for greater living. Friends care more for a person's comfort than for his cause or career. So Paul's heart-strings were torn, at Miletus, at Tyre and at Caesarea, by loving Christian associates, who pleaded with him to turn aside from prophesied disaster. Even Luke joined in the chorus of entreaty, that put a note of deep sorrow into that farewell beach prayer meeting of disciples at Tyre; and into the one day of fellowship with _.the brethren of Ptolemais; and into the solemn conference in the home of Philip, at Caesarea. They were all slow to realize, what Paul saw so clearly, that a man's comfort, and even his safety, must ever be sub- ordinated to the call of his duty. Suddenly, there burst from the old hero's lips the agonized cry, "What mean ye to weep and break mite heart? I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus." Such heroes, are the salt that saves socie- ty from decay. At Paul's outburst the protests subsided into "The will of the Lord be done." Most Christians have this Caesarea conception of submission to the Divine will--when there is no other course open! Resignation to the inevitable is scarcely a virtue. Instead of this passive helplessness, how much nobler is Paul's idea of the will of God as an active and over- coming devotion to a great task. To do God's will is to DO something, not merely to yield to the undvoidable. A Christian Conciliator.. As the "practical" man of Paul's party, Luke could not forebear men- tioning the loading of the baggage cattle, as the caravan took up its| way to Jerusalem. Anybody who has derstand why, The clamor, the. de- the rebellion, the apparent hopelessness that actompany each day's packing up and loading up, may not bulk large in travel records: but even saintly Lake could not es- they again have won the annual fur- buying race over the Inset is a picture of Mary afloat to the effect that Paul was anti-Jewish in his Gentile propagan- da. So the wise proposal of the Elders was that he associate himself {Ain four Jewish Christians, who were fulfilling the Nazarite vow, by paying their expenses and appearing with them in the Temple for the last seven days of the ceremonies. Then all the world could behold the loyal- ty of Paul, the Jew, to the traditions of his fathers. A smaller man, and a more stub- born one, than Paul, would have proved refractory. But this great thinker, and proclaimer of convic- tions, was a Christian conciliator, and ready to be "made all things to all men, if he might by any meaus save some." He agreed: the matter was non-essential; he would nor of- fend needlessly the weaker brother. The incident is one to be commend- ed to contemporary controversialists. When the Riot Broke. Race prejudice is 'a peculiarly vin- dictive and malignant spirit; and the delegation of Jews from the Pro- vince of Asia who had come to Je- rusalem to "get" Paul were beyond all reason. Therefore, after shrewd whisperings and plottings apd rally- ing of a likely mob, they took the first occasion to seize him in the temple, erying that he was a pro- faner of the holy place, and falsely charging that he had brought a non- Jew into the reserved enclosure. Their cry was "Men of Israel! Help! Help!" It was a sheer class cry, an appeal to bigotry. But it served. Especially sensitive to the religious appeal, particularly in this holy place, the mob respond- ed in full cry. They mauled Paul, and dragged him, torn, spat upon, bruised and bleeding, over the stones of the temple area, meaning to kill him outside. Like the mobbing of Major Imbrie, the American consul at Teheran, this riot had deliberate murder as the purpose of its leaders, Once for all the Jewish fanatics meant to get rid of one whom they regarded as a renegade, and the mightiest single force in the new re- ligion. Their plot was shrewd: for death at the hangs of a mob would leave individuals free of guilt. Rome had been left out of the reckoning. On the Tower of Antonia paced a Roman sentry, in full view of the temple courts. He reported he row to his superior, who carried t to the commander; and in a short time the disciplined company of Ro- 'man troops were driving to thé cen- tre of the yelling, gesticulating, wild eyed and frothing lynchers. "The legionaries! The legionar- lest ran the cry through the crowd; their prisoner, who was straightway 'safe in the power of the strong arm of the Roman law. Even t h the be a notorious Egyptian murderer, he would not wink at lawlessness. {he i of simiusts should sot bg Costs Gilson's of Guelph no now Buy you ; a perfected furpce--pipelesy or Ripe style--at a sensational price. he first revolutionary rove- ment in home heating in f-a- century!
