TAUL'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY
International Bible Lesson for
M v. 2i, '09 (a Cor. 11: 22-28:)
2 Cor. 12: 1-10.
Some of the
most fascinating
books In tht
world Are nuto
biogra p h 1 c a 1.
Hero worship
pors nnd scholar
ly IiIhIoi lima flve
us highly color
ed or coldly crit
ical accounts of
the lives and la
bors of eminent
men, but when n
mnn who has had
vast experience,
sits down near the close of life, to
write out the story of his career, he
usually produces a book thrllllngly In
terestlng.
Such a volume generally goes Into
details concerning the birthplace, the
home, the early education, the trade
the profession, the public career, of
the writer, embellished and IlluHtrat
ed with numerous references to his
contemporaries, Incidents and hap
penlngs covering a wide range of time
and circumstances. The public eager
ly peruses such volumes, and the
young are Inspired and encouraged by
such examples.
The World's Hero.
There 13 no man in history wu:
commands the Interest nnd udrr.ir.v
tion of the world more than the Apo
tie Paul. His biographer Luke has
written In the Acts of the ApostA-s
his marvellous story at considerable
length, a story which places him In
the front rank as a scholar, an on.
B leader, an organizer, a traveler, nr.
explorer, a theologian, a writer, a suf
ferer, a tireless worker, and always
and everywhere a christian gentle-
man.
Ho tells us where Faul wa3 horn
whero he was educated, when : ml
where he was converted, the regions
Into which he travelled, the churches
ho organized, how ho was persecuted,
the great men he met, In what ckie
lie preached, how ho worked at his
trade to pay his way, what a profound
student he was, what a clear under
standing he ltad of human nature,
ho-.v he confounded his adversaries In
his arguments, how he saved the
church from splitting on the rock of
Judaism, how ho put In half a cen
tury of work all over Aula nnd Europe,
turning the forces of heathenism, pa
ganism and Judaism upside down and
planting the standard of the cross
above the Roman eagles- ls a
thrilllng memoir this, of the Life of
St. Pnul, and it will never die.
Summary of Hla Life.
But this Is not nil we know of this
great heio of the church. In the
epistle to the Corinthians tho apostle
Incidentally writes his own autobio
graphy and In the 11th and 1 2th chap
ters records with hla own pen a sum
iuary of the events of his life, without
a particle of egotistic, bombastic
boasting he puts down a catalogue of
tho things he had done and suffered
for the cause of Christianity, and the
list Is startling enough to make us
modern christians hide our heads in
chagrin and embarrassment. We are
like pigmies In the presence of a giant
when we open the volumo of the book
and read such words as these:
"In labors more abundant. In stripes
above measure, In prisons more fre
quent, In deaths oft, of the Jews live
times received I forty stripes, save
one. Thrice was I beaten with rods,
once was I stoned, thrice I suffered
shipwreck, a night and a day have I
been in the deep. In Journeying
often, in perils of waters, in perils of
robbers, In perils by mine own coun
trymen, in perils by the heathen, in
Derlls In the city, in perils in the wil
derness, In perils In the sea, in perils
among false brethren; in weariness
and palnfulness, In watchings often,
in hunger and thirst, in fastings often,
In cold and nakedness. Besides those
things that are without, that wtiich
cometh upon mo daily, the care of all
the churches."
Tonic for the Weak-Kneed.
This ls autobiography at Its beat
The modern soldier of the cross does
well to keep such a biography near
at hand and read It often for his com
fort and encouragement, wo some
times think. In these soft and careless
days, that we have a hard time of H
trying to exemplify Christianity. Poo;-,
weak-kneed specimens of piety, when
we feel these fnlnting spells coming
on we ought to take a good big dose
of the Apostle Paul. There was Iron
in his blood, ambition In his head,
strength In his grip, fire in his eye,
nd genuine religion in his heart.
The love of personal liberty, the
perilous prospect of death, none of
these things moved him from the do
sire and purpose to finish bis course
with Joy, and to fulfill the ministry
which he had received as a sacred
trust from the Lord Jesus Christ. To
bo a follower of such a hero Is to bo
in tho apostolic succession by the
power of the Holy Ghost. When tho
world gets a race of christians to
whom nothing ls so dear as the un
speakable luxury and matchless op
portunity of fighting in this old hero's
company and with hla weapons, the
Kingdom of God will come.
