Acts XVI., 6-15.
BY
Secretary of
CONTEXT. The lesson of May 23, our
last In apoatollc history, treated tho con
ference at Jerusalem. (Acts xv., 22-19).
Shortly afterwaid Paul set out from An
tloch, on his second missionary Journey,
accompanied by Silas. Passing thioush
Syria and Cllcltla, ho visited the churches
which ho had founded. At Ljstra, Tim
othy, a young disciple, probably converted
on the former visit (Acts xlv, (,), was or
dained to tho ministry (I. Tim. iv, 14), and
added to the party. Thence traveling
northwest the mlsslonailes directed their
btcps in paths untioddcn by mesengua
of Christ, into the dark depths of pagan
ism, Llttlo Is known of what transplied
on tho way. Tho Inspired writer had nls
mind on an objective point to be reached
lurther on, nn account of whlcn will bo
given In toduy's lesson. The entire New
Testament nairatlve Is a recital merely
of those Important events on which his
tory turned, leaving other events un
noticed. (Jchn xl, 25).
JOURNEYING. - Our lesson opiMis
(verses C and 7) with a bare mention of
the countries, all Roman provinces,
through which the missionaries Journeyed.
The first, Phrygla, directly west of Ly
caonla, contained three Important cities,
Hlcrapolls, Colosse nnd Laodlcea, but
Paul deputed EpapharaB (Col. Iv, 12), a
Chrlst'an of Gieck parentage, to labor
there, and pushed on with Silas and Tim
othy Into Galatla, a provlnco to tho
northeast. Tho Gnlatlans wero descend
ants of a band ot adventurous Gauls, who,
about threo centuries before the Christian
era, removed from their home In western
Europe, fought their way through many
obstacles and finally settled In Asia Minor.
AVarilko and democratic, these people gov
erned themselves, nnd under the Imperial
dominion retained their own rulers. Paul's
preaching made a powerful Impression on
their sensttlvo natures, and they cordial
ly heard him and accepted the Gospel.
(Gal. Iv, 13).
RESTRAINING.-On closing the labors
In Galatla tho missionaries retraced their
steps, moving westward to tho boundary
of Mysla, one of the districts ot tho most
western provlnco called Asia, from which
we obtain the name now applied to the
whole eastern continent. Here a doublo
restriction was laid upon Paul, He was
first forbidden by tho Holy Ghost to
preach In Asia (verse 6). Inferring that
this Indicated the Lord's pleasure as to
the next field of labor, ho was disposed
to movo northward and enter Ulthynla
(verso 7), a province lying along tho
southern shore of Pontus Euslmus, or, as
It Is now termed the niack sea. Hut the
Spirit again Interposed, This shows that
the missionaries did not act freely they
were not moved by their own Inclinations,
hut by a supernatural Illumination and
Impulse. Spirit-guided with closed lips
they passed directly across Mysla and
came to Its chief city, Troas by the Sea
(veue 8), which stood near tho slto of
ancient Troy, the sceno of Homer's Im
mortal poem.

American Society o"f Religious Education.
Into a country where they aro not allowed
to speak for Christ what are the preachers
to do? They were not left long In doubt.
In tho night Paul had a vision. A Mace
donian stood before him, crying, "Como
over Into Macedonia and help us." ( trse
9). That man was the lit representative
of powerful nations which had, accom
plished great things in the domain of
politics, but were growing old and feeble.
"Writhing In the restlessness of doubt at
the foot of their vvorld-fumous altars of
art and beauty, they were turning tired
eyes toward the east, seeking there a
deliverance from evils of which they had
no longer any hope In themselves "
Claudius was then tho ruler of tho world.
The puppet of mistresses and favorites,
ho had lr.ld upon the whole empire a yoke
of deepest humiliation, a slavery accom
panied by no redeeming jay of gloiy. It
was therefore a most opportune time tor
Paul and his associates to enter Europe,
cnnylng tho everlasting Gospel, tho only
infallible cure for the Ills of man,
OBEYING. Paul rightly Interpreted
this vision as the call of God to a new held
of labor, and he Immediately obeyed.
(Verso 10). Taking boat at Tioas they
sailed westward over the Aegean sea. Ac
cording to Eudeblus (Ecclcs. Hist, HI, 4),
another helper was added to the company;
at this point, Luke, the physician, des
tined to be tho Inspired chronicler of the
apostolus age. After a voyage of ono
hundred and fifty miles, Samothracla, an
Island near tho coast, was touched, and
next day the missionaries debarked nt
Neapolls, on tho mainland, then a city

BELIEVING.-In that little audience at
the river side was a woman named Lydl i.
Formerly a resident of Thyatlra In Asia
she had como acro3 the sea and settlen
In Phlllppl to engage In the sale of purple
fabrics, made in her own country. Those
goods were cdored with Hiuld taken from
the glands In the throat of a fish by u very
difficult and expensive process. Hence
the clothes v ere highly prized nnd were
worn by kings and dignitaries. Heathen
though she was by birth, sho had re
nounced tho religion of her father, and
had become a worshiper of tho God of
Israel. In so doing she made protest
against tho universal sensuality nnd at
tached herself to the only purifying force"!
of the city. As Paul spoke that day a
strange Influence camo over the woman.
Her mind grasped the truth and her
heart ylealed to Christ as her Saviour
The warmth of a new spiritual life en
tered. Old things passed away. She passed
Into he company of Christ's followers,
tho fl'at convert, a sister in the household
of faith.
INA'ITING.-Lydla brought her whole
household Into the church with her by
baptism. Tho number and character of
tho persons a not recorded, neither Is
there any mention made ot tho Influence
by which this Ingathering was secured
It Is quite probable that she had a large
number of servants. The conversion of
Lydla was followed by a desire to assist
tho men who had delivered the message
of salvation. As they were strangers In
the city she tendered them hospltnllty, on
act all tho more Important becnuse It ac
corded with Scripture precept (Heb. xlll,
2), and with oriental practice. Her in
vitation was In the spirit of humility.
"If ye havo found me faithful to the
Lord," sho said, as It she entertained ex
alted conceptions of her guests, nnd
Judged that they would bo careful to know
the character of their host. Evidently
she regarded the acceptance of her offer
as an honor, and such It truly was. The
minister of Christ, because of his calling,
Is the most dignified ot earthly visitors,
CONCLUSION. Thus began tho evan
gelization of Europe. The first convert,
as known to history, was made at a wo
man's prayer meeting. Tho first Euro
pean church was organized In the house
of Lydla. A'levved from tho sldo of human
wisdom this was not an auspicious begin
ning. Thero were no worldly elements of
success In It. Money and social Influence
are generally esteemed to bo nocessary
to tho accomplishment of any great de
sign. And yet Lydla's household pointed
out tho greatest agency to be employed
In advancing the cause of Christ In all
centuries. The holiest men that have ever
lived have como out ot Christian hom;s.
