SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON FOR JUNE 15 PAUL- CR0S3E8 TO EUROPE. Acts, xvl:0-15. DY ItKV. J. H. alLDKRT, D. D. Secretary ot American Society ot Rcllglou education. CONTEXT. Our lust lesson pertained to tho happy conclusion of tho controver sy over circumcision in tho church nt Antloeh. Shortly afterward, Paul set out on his second missionary Journey, ac companied by Silas. Passing through Syila und Clllclu, ho visited tho churches which ho had founded. At Lys tra, Timothy, a oung disciple, piobably converted on tho former visit (Acts, xlv, G), was ordained to the mlnlstiy (t Tim., lv:14), nnd added to the party. Thence traveling northward, the missionaries dliectcd their steps In paths ptovlously untrodden by tho messengers of Christ, Into the dark depths of Paganism. Llttlo Is known of what transpired In tho way. Tho inspired wtlter had his mind on tho objective point to bo reached further on, nil account of which will bo given In to day's lebson. The entire New Testament narrative ii a lecltal merely of those im portant events on which hlstoiy turned, leaving other events unnoticed (John xx:23). JOURNEYING. Our lesson opens (vol scs 6 nnd 7) with a baro mention of tho countries, all Roman piovinces, through which tho mlsslonniics Jour nejed. The Jlrst, Phryglu, dlicctly west of Lycaonla, contained tlneo Important titlec, Illcrapolis, Colosso and Laodlccn, but Paul deputed Epaphras (Col. lv;12) a Chilstlnn of Gieen parentage, to labor thoio and pushed on with Silas nnd Tim othy into Galatla, n provinco to tho noitheast.' Tho Galatlons were descend ants of a band of adventurous Gauls, who, about three centuries before tho Christ ian era removed from their homo In western Europe, fought their way thiougn muny obstacles and finally settled in Asia Minor. 'Warlike and domociatlo theso people governed themselves, and under the Impoilnl dominion letnlncd their own ruleis. Paul's pleaching mado a powerful lmpiesslon on their sensitive na tures, and they cordially hcaid him and accepted tho Gospel (Gul. lv:15). nESTP.AINING.-On closing tho labors in Galatla the mlsslonniics letinced their stcp3, moving westward to tho boundary of Mysla, ono of tho distiicts of the most western piovinco called Asin, from which wo obtain tho name now nppllcd to the whole eastern continent. Heie a double lcstrlctlon was laid upon Paul. He was forbidden by tho Holy Ghost to pi each In Asia (verso 6). Infcnlng that this Indi cated the Lord's pleasure as to the next Held of labor, ho was disponed tn move northwaid and enter Dlthjnla (veiso 7), a piovinco l?lng along tho southern shore of Ponttis Kulnus, or, ns It now teimcd, tho Black Sea. But the Split again In tel posed. Thlo shows that tho mlsslonni ics did not act freely they weio not moved by their own inclination and im pulse Spliit-gulded with closed llp3 they passed directly acioss Msla, and came to its chief city, Troas, by the sea (veiso S), which stood near the site of ancient Tioy, tho scene of Homei's immortal poem. DIRECTING. Having been bi ought into a country wlieie they nie not allowed to speak for Clulst, what shall these picacheis do? They weio not left alono indoubt. lu,th,p night Puul had a vis ion." ""X Mncedo'nlan stood betoro him, ciing, "Come over to Macedonia and help us" (verso 9). That man was tho tit repiesontatlvo of povveiful nations which hud accomplished gicat things in the do main of pontics, but woio glowing old and feeble. "Wi lining in the icstlessncsj of doubt at tho foot of their vvoi Id-famous altars of art and beauty, they wcie tinn ing tired ejes townid tho East, seeking there a dcliveianco fiom evils of which they had no longer any hope in them selves." Claudius was then tho luler of tho vvoild. 'Hie puppet of mlsti esses and favoiite?, ho had Inid upon tho wiiolo cm plio a yoke of deepest humiliation, a slavery accompanied by no ledconilng lay of glory. It was, thciofoie, a most op portune time for Paul and his assoiintes to enter Europe, c.uijlng tho everlasting gospel, the only lnialllblo cuie for the ills of man. OBEYING. Paul lightly intoipretcd this vision us tho call of God to a new Held of labor, nnd ho Immediately obeyed (veiso 10), Taking boat nt Tioas, they sulled westvvaid over the Aegean S2u. Accoidlng to Euscbliis (Eccles. Hist., ill, 4), unother helper was added to tho com pany at this point, Luko, tho phslciu'i, destined to bo tho inspiied chiouiclcr of tho apostolic age. After a vojago of lut) miles Snmolluacln, an Island near tho coast, was touched, and next day the mis. slonaiies dehaikcd at Neu polls, on tho main land, then u city of considerable impoitance, who-.o uilns to this day may bo seen a llttlo distance fiom tho Tuik ish vlllago of Kavulla (veiso It). Losing no tlmo tho mlsslonniics pushed on into tho iutci lor. to Phlllppl. This city, built by Phillip II, und tendered illustilous by tho famous battles in which the Roman republic dually succumbed under Brutus, hud becomo a llouilshlug colony, tho most impoitnnt tn all that legion. Paul, Silas, Timothy, Luko, obedient to tho henvenlv vision (Acts xNviilD), weio for tho that tlmo on tho soil ot Europe, PREACHING. The icsliiilnt Imposed in Asia being icmoved tho lull function of tho ministry may bo oxoiclscd. But wheto? Naturally Paul and Silas Luko and Timothy being Giccks tinned to their countrymen Hist of all, among whom they might most ccitalnly expect sympathy. Tho Jews woro not numerous In Phlllppl, nor was their religion nc coptablo to tho people. Tho cultuio of an cient Gieeco, devoted to tho worship of foim, Idolatrous of beauty, both in lan guage and in art, was unfavorable to tho puicr moinls Inculcated by tho syna gogue whllo the couuptlon of manueip and tho political and religious despotism of Romo opposed any loliglnn bi ought In fiom without. Tho Jews woro, thciefoio, compelled to go out of tho city for woi ship. Building an orntory by tho liver slda' thoy were accustomed to assemble thero for piaycr on tho Sabbath. To that plnco Paul repalicd (verso ;), and, lind ing u small company of women assem bled, he sat down with them and pi cached his first sermon in Em ope. BELlEVING.-ln that little audience at tho i Ivor sldo was u woman named Lydla. Formorly a lesident of Thyatlru, In Asia, sho had como across tho sea and settled in Phlllppl to engago In tho sale of purplo fnbilts, mado In hor own country. These goods weio colored ' with liquid taken from tho glands In the throat of a fish, by a voiy difficult and expensive piocoss. llonco tho cloths wero highly prized, und weio worn by kings und digultuilcs. Heathen though sho was by birth, she had renounced tho lollglon of her fulhor, and had becomo a worshipper of the God of Isruol. In so doing she mado protest ngnlnst tho unlycisal sensuality and at tached heisclf to the only puilfylng foice of tho city. As Paul spoke, that day a stiaiige Influence came over this womun. lfcr mind giaspcd tho truth and hor lieait Jolded to Christ as her Savior, Tho vvnrmth of a now spliltual llfo en teied tho company of Chilst's followers tho (list couveit a bister in tho houso hold of fulth. INVITING.-Ldla brought her whole household Into the church with her by baptism. Tho number and chaiactcr of tho persons are not rccoided, neither Is Si FUNNY- Isn't it ?
