PAUL AT ROME.
International Bible Lesson for
Nov. M, '09 (Acts 28: 11-31).
I'aul at Romo
In a theme tli.it

.leniHuloiii hi; il
Hoinii were the
pivotal centre
from which went
out the world's
transf o r in I n a,
forces-the c:n
the home of (li
ving Rovertmii iit;
In the olher, the
god of this world
was enthroned.
He was a lone man, a poor man. a
man In chains, and yet ho was the
nvant courier of a rising power that
was to turn the tide of Roman history,
and revolutionize the world. Had
Nero on his throne been aware of the
dynamic force embodied In that little
Iravel-stalned prisoner h would have
been as profoundly moved and great
ly troubled as if some foreign foe wero
thundering at his gates. But he knew
H not, and he continued his drunken
revels while the city slept, uncon
scious of the transformation scene
which the entrance of that prisoner
assured.
Getting a Hearing.
U Is not hard to get u hearing for
the gospel when the seeker, like I'tul.
has the "lire In his bones." He was a
prisoner after a sort but was so well
reported of that ho was allowed to
live "for two whole years lu his own
hired house."
Hut "the Word of (.'.oil was nut
hound," and I'aul felt mat he could
not leHt without delivering his mes
sage. Ho might have spent hia time
umid tho splendid architecture, world
famous sculpture and 'liKtoiiial i.nil
c;ui'Jts, but nothing of that suit could
divert him from his work. And hence
within threo days after his urrival at
Rome he calls around him the chief
of tho Jews, tho rulers and Icadiri';
men of the synagogues, that he mi;,:it
disarm their prejudices. Without a
tr.ue of bitterness ho forgives iitul
forgets the evils that had been In
flicted upon him. One thing must In
aid to the credit of his persecutors,
they had not sent on to Koine their
evil reports and bnse slanders, mid
l.c is assured by his .'O'lntrynicn there
that they had hcr.rd notuing r.sair.st
Li'.!'..
Expository Preaching.
Pur.l v:s lii't IiV.:i Rome Modern
preachers who take a text and preach
- from It. Ho was a splendid type of
(hilt very uncommon class 01 til vines
who preach expository nernions the
meatiest, julcyest, 1110.it interesting it
all the stylos of preaching. He took
l.is text from the O'.d Testament, the
only Bible there was in those days,
and appeared to lr.ve no ditllculty lu
lludins Christ in tho Uospel accord
lug to Moses. So captivating, evan
gelical. Scriptural was he lu his ex
position, and so tremendously in earn
est, that he preached all day but held
his congregation to the end. That
was the first CJospel sermon that his
listeners had ever heard and they
were so deeply stirred tnat they took
110 note of time.
A Crisis of Destiny.
It- makes no difference who the
preacher is, or what or how long 'Is
his sermon he cannot mr.ke his hear
ers believe. To present the message
Is the duty of the man of Cod. to ac
cept or reject It is the hearer's prero
gative. It Is some comfort to hard
working modern'clurgymen that even
Paul failed to convert -he majority of
those to whom he preached. Bonie
churches seem to think that if they
could only get Brother Sllvertongue
for thoir preacher their ei.tire congre
gation would be swept Into the king
dom. But whoever occupies the pulpit
this will be the verdict of history
"Some believed the things which
were spoken, and some bt lleved not."
The same truth produces different ef
fects even as the Bhlnlng of the sun
roftens Ice and hardens clay.
Promoted.
With this lesson the Btory of the
life of I'aul abruptly closes. Luke the
amenuensls, very likely took the time
to write it during the two years in
which they dwelt at Rome. And I'aul
wrote many of the epIstUs. which are
incorporated in tho sacred canon dur
ing that time. Tradition cays some
thing about releaset te-arrest and
execution after five years more of toll.
But the book of The Acts Is the only
certain historical guide In tracing his
life. Nevertheless, all critics agree
that the life of Paul did not extend
over more than five years from this
point. , , .
One day a small procession wended
its way through the gates, and "Paul
the Aged," was again lu the midst.
The mightiest mind in the Christ an
church was on his way to promotion
itnJ coronation. He had just penned
his last message and wa. now reany
to bo offered. He had fought the good
light. He had kept the faith. Ha bad
finished his course." Hoon the sol
diers halt, and the executioner steps
forwr.rd. Tor the last time those tot
tering limbs bend In prayer. The e
a flach in tho sunlisht n. the head
rir.n'a axe desccnda-aml the worn
ud weary pilgrim is at rest.
