Destiny

—Acts 15:36 to 16:15.
* (By William T. Ellis)
Nobody yet knows of a certainty
which of the battles of the world war
will be written down in history as the
greatest—whether the battle of the
Marne, or Verdun, or Erzerum, or
Tsing Tau, or some other yet unfought.
The importance of an epochal hour is
seldom seen until that hour is past.
Neither a man nor a nation can surely
tell when the clock of destiny strikes.
The Grecian navigators who saw a
little boat beat Its way from Troas to
Neapolis, one Spring day In the year
50 A. D., gave no second look to it,
nor dreamed that it held the fate of
Europe as its cargo. The destiny of
the West was wrapped up in the worn
coat of the little Jew
who was a passenger that day across
the Aegean.
"This journey," says Professor
James Stalker, "was perhaps the most
momentous recorded in the annals of
the human race. In its Issues it far
outrivaled the expedition of Alexander
the Great when he carried the ai ms
and civilization of Greece into the
heart of Asia; or that of Caesar when
he landed on the shores of Britain;
or even the great voyage of Columbus
when he discovered a new world."
Now that the struggle of empires
is raging over the scenes of Paul's
Journey, and when huge warships,
watchful against hidden submarines,
are sailing the very waters covered by
Paul's ship, It is of unusual timeliness
and importance for the whole Sunday
School world to contemplate anew the
reality and significance of the great
event when Paul carried Christianity
from Asia across into Europe.
This is a lesson to study with out
spread maps; for in these days a little
bit of geography illuminates many a
problem. Perhaps the oldest political
conflict in history has been for the
possession qf this junction of Asia and
Europe which Paul won'for his Mas
ter. Had the Apostle been making his
crossing in recent months he would
have heard the guns of Gallipolt roar
ing, and he would have been chal
lenged by many a naval vessel.
Two Young Men
This climax to Paul's journey—the
carrying of the Cross into Europe—
occurred on his second missionary
journey, when Jt was proposed that
he and Barnabas visit the churches
they had ' established, and hearten
them in the faith. There was a spe
cial reason for going over the ground
once more, because that letter from
the Council at Jerusalem must be
read and expounded to the churches.
Right away a difficulty arose. Barna
bas wanted his cousin, John Mark, to
go with them. Paul took an attitude
something like this: "No, that cannot
be. Mark deserted us on the previous
journey. He failed In loyalty. He has
disqualified himself for this kind of
work."
But Barnabas, whose emotional na
ture was stronger than his judgment,
stood up for Mark, even to the point
of clashing with Paul. There was a
serious disagreement between the two
great missionaries. Neither would
give in—and we are rather glad that
they both believed in their convictions
to the sticking point. So Barnabas
took Mark and went off to Cyprus.
And as Sir William Ramsey says, he
'passes out of history. We part from
the honorable and gracious personal
ity of Barnabas with deep regret; but
history marches with Paul." Later
on, after Mark had proved himself
Paul again gave him his friendship
and confidence.
I For a companion Instead of Barna-
I pas, Paul chose Silas, about whom we
know little, except that he was the
j sort of man who could sing songs
in the night in a prison cell. We do
1 not need to know much more about
; him. Ihe first quality of a good trav

The Vision of Empire
I have traveled most of the route j
covered by Paul in this second mis- |
sionary journey, and I can imagine
him, as he passed through the ma
jestic Cilician Gates, pointing out the
sublimity of the natural scenery to
Silas, and evincing all of the natural
pride of a Tarsus man in these ma
jestic mountains that stood sentinel
behind his beloved Cilician Plain. The
old Roman road which Paul traversed
is still the best thoroughfare from
Tarsus to the Bospliorus. I have
camped by the same springs that Paul
camped by, and have drunk from the I
same wells, and have seen much of
the same unchanged village life that
he knew. It is a sign of the inspired
character of the New Testament his
tory that the writers never stop to ex
patiate upon the natural scenery or
the glories of civilization, but deal ;
directly with the vital human and ;
spiritual problems that engross them.
So we find Paul, now accompanied
by Luke, the historian—for here we
come to the "we"' passages of the
Book of the Acts —and directed by
special spiritual Illumination, headed
steadfastly to the west until he
reached the historic shores of the
Aegean, and the old city of Troas, near
the Dardenelles. Many were the con
querors who had stood on these shores
looking toward Europe. But the
greatest of them all had neither sword
nor armor. By many busy shipping
folk and men of action busy about
their little trafficklngs, Paul and Silas
and Timothy saw a man of Mace
donia crying "Come over unto Mace
donia and help us!" So sensitive was
the apostle to all spiritual Impressions
(for he kept his soul alert to spiritual
forces by constant obedience to them),

that he dared the great voyage in loy
alty to the vision. There we have the
message for commencement time:
Obey the highest beckoning. Dare the
duties that are greatest. As says
Tennyson:
"O young mariner,

haunch your vessel
And crowd your canvas,
And, ere it vanishes
Over the margin,
After it, follow it.
Follow the Gleam."
Where Waft's Guns Boom
Both Troas and Philippi are over
run by troops to-day. and the waters
between are cleft by the prow of many
a warship. Philippi itself is a ruip,
and the glories of Philip of Macedon,
after whom it was named, are well
nigh forgolten. The neighboring city;
of Salonikl is a vast armed camp, j
Here is one of the strategic centers of j
the world war. Before these lines are
printed there may have been vast de
velopments there. The best way to
study the war news in this part of the
earth is through the maps of Paul's
mlssionarv journeys.
Paul traveled from city to city. He
adventured Philippi as the most domi
nating center of Macedonia. Tills
missionary statesman always pro
ceeded on the strategy of attacking
the big cities. Then, as now, news
goes from city to country. Enterprises
win by city victories. And Paul knew
that he had a gospel adequate for the
greatest cities of Greece and Rome.
It is well that the church is newly
alert to the Importance of rural com
munities; yet the old lesson still
stands, that the Issues of the gospel
war, like those of military conflict, are
to be settled about the cities.
Fancy has always loved to play
over this dramatic journey of Paul
from Asia to Europe. John McNeill
says, "Just suppose that Paul and
Silas had been ordered the other way.
Then very likely Europe would have
been the India and Asia and the Af
rica that now are, and away in those
lands the ministers would be doing
their best to get their people to con
tribute to foreign missions to evan
geliae the barbarians of Europe."
The Woman of tlie West
"The 'man of Macedonia' turns out
to be a woman," says Andrew Bonar.
The first person mentioned by Paul
in his European- experiences was
Lydia. "a seller of purple." For
Paul's earliest meetings at Philippl
were the little conferences for prayer
by the riverside where a few godly
women gathered on the Jewish Sab
bath. Apparently, there were not
enough persons to form a svnagogue.
Small and Insignificant as this gather
ing was, it was the one heavenward
pointing group in Philippl, and Paul
identified himself with It. Anybody
who has wit enough to understand a
Sunday School lesson Is too wise to
despise the day of small things. We

have seen a little conference of busl
riessmen in New York turn Into the
Laymen's Missionary Movement; and
a conference of students under a Mas
sachusetts haystack become the mod
ern enterprise of missions. The con
version of Lydia at Philippi stood for
a sreat ideal.
In this day of sex consciousness of
women it is well to recall that the
first convert to Christianity in Europe
was Lydia. As says Dr. Peloubet,
"Christianity has made women hon
ored everywhere, and they in tuyn
have honored Christianity." The
women of Burope and America have
come to fill the position of Kreatest
faithfulness and efficiency in the
Christian Church. Without them it
would be impossible to conduct the
Christian activities of to-day. The en
tire modern movement of Christian
womanhood may be imagined in that
little riverside meeting at Philippi,
where the Apostle Paul preached his
first European sermon.
The arrival of Paul at Philippi
launched a new force In the life of
Europe, alongside of which all the
armies that have landed seemed small
and Insignificant. He lighted a bea
con which has since shed Ifs rays
over the whole of the known globe.
