GILROY, D. D. Paul, I have said, was a born propagandist; he was likewise a born traveler. And the two have often gone together. The man who has convictions that he must express to others is restless until he has told his message to as many people as possible.
Paul had a supremely great message. It centered in his own experiences, in what the Gospel of Jesus Christ had done for him in arresting him in his course of intolerance and persecution, and inmaking man of love. He it could do for others, and deep in his philosophy and experience was the conviction that the Gospel could make of "any man" (see I II Cor-. 5:17) a new creature. Antioch, where the disciples were first called "Christians," were a group of believers of similar mind and spirit.
They took seriously the Master's last commission to "go into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature," and they appointed Paul and Barnabas to go forth and fulfil that command. Two more willing messengers could not have been found. Paul has outdistanced all of the early disciples as a pioneer builder and Christian missionary; but no one has outdistanced Barabas in quality of faith and character and in pure zeal. Apparently a man of substance, he had given it all to the Christian cause. It was unfortunate that later a disagreement arose between these good men, over the question whether John Mark, the nephew of Barnabas and the author of our DRESS UP THIS -SUMMER!

Paul thought that John Mark, who had been with them on the first journey, had deserted them without sufficient reason. Here, however, on Paul's first missionary journey these two great Christians, Paul and Barnabas, are together. Their mission has spectacular aspects, for when Paul has performed a miracle of healing the pagan people are convinced that the gods have come down among them, and they want to worship the missionaries, Barnabas as Juptter and Paul as Mercurius. The occasion gave Paul the opportunity for plain words concerning the nature of God, and the human side of true religion. But the missionaries had to encounter danger and opposition, especially when foes of the Christian way arrived from Antioch and so perverted the minds of the people that they stoned Paul and left him for dead.
Two things I should like to say. First, concerning Paul as a missionary, I would urge the value of following the narrative with a map journeys, such as is found in many Bibles, Second, a word concerning modern missionaries. They have come in for much criticism, and the scornful have had their fling at the missionaries' expense. But if you have a son fighting in the Pacific, thank God for the missionaries who went to these danger spots a century or a half-century ago. The natives have been friendly to our troops.
How much more terrible the situation would have been if the natives had preferred the Japanese. First Christian Church J. Fred Bayless, Minister C. E. Long, Supt.
