Every church official is especi

Fifth Sunday program.
THIS LAST lesson on Paul, hi.s
life and missionary journeys, re
minds us that the reason that
churches were scattered all over
Asia in the first century, was be
cause one man, Paul, had a pas
sion for spreading the gospel to
the whole world, and devoted his
life to this cause in spite of the
hardships of travel and persecu
tions which included assaults on
his person.
Our first reference in Acts
takes us back to the time Paul,
then an ardent persecutor of
Christians, burning with, zeal to
stamp them out in Damascus and
take allhe found in chains back
to Jerusalem, was slopped by the
vision of Jesus, and blinded. Led
into Damascus he was lodged in
a house in the street called
Straight.
That night, a devout man of
Demascus named Ananias was
startled out of sleep by a vision,
and the Lord told him to go to
Paul, or Saul as he was then
called. Saul had had a vision, said
the Lord, he was blinded and was
praying. Ananias .said he had
heard much evil of this man and
that he had come to Damascus to
persecute the Lord's saints there.
'But the Lord said unto him,
Go thy way: for he is a chosen
vessel unto Me, to bear My name
before the Gentiles, and kings,
and the children of Israel." You
remember that Ananias did as he
was told and Paul's sight was re
stored. At this time, Paul probably had
no idea that he would be called
upon to fill so great a place as he
did in the world.
laul Goes to Jerusalem
"After these things were ended,
Paul purposed in the spirit, when
he had passed through Macedonia
and Achara, to go to Jerusalem,
saying. After I have been there,
I must also see Rome." His
friends tried to dissuade him
from going to Jerusalem, but he
persisted, and there certain per
sons who were from Asia stirred
up the people against him, and
to save him from beatings, the
Romans took him into custody.
He was put in prison and doubt
less felt disheartened, but the
night following these disturbances
the Lord "stood by him, and said,
Jie of good cheer, Paul: for as
thou hast testitied of Me in Jeru
Distributed by King F
salem, so must thou bear Witness
also as Rome."
Why did Paul want so much to
go to Rome? That city was then
the center of the world. It was a
powerful, splendid and populous
city. It attracted the leaders in
every business and profession, so
cial leaders and those with politi
cal aspirations.
The letter to the Romans was
probably written two years before
his arrest at Jerusalem. He had
not seen Rome then and we do
not know who founded the church
in that city, but there was u
church there. He writes:
"1 would not have you ignorant,
brethren, that oftentimes 1 pur
posed to come unto you (but was
let. hitherto), that 1 might liav
some fruit among you also, even
among' other Gentiles.
"I am debtor both to thii
Greeks, and to the Barbarians;
both ti the wise, and to the un
wise. "So, as much as in me is, I
am ready to preach the gospel tj
you that are at Rome also."
The epithet barbarian was ap
plied to persons who were not
Greeks, as the Greek civilization
excelled all others. The "wise and
unwise" is thought to denote llio
cultured and uncultured.
Later, in Romans 15, Paul re
fers again to the hindrances that
have kept him from visiting
Rome, and writes that "But now,
having no more place in these
parts, and having a great desire
these many years to come unto
you, Whensoever I take my jour
ney into Spain, I will come to
you: for I trust to see you In my
journey, and to be brought to my
way thitherward by you, if first
I be .somewhat filled' with your
company."
Whether Paul ever went f
Spain we do not know, but bis
desire to visit Rome, as we see,
was very strong. He wanted to
pnsach the gospel of Christ in
that "first city" of the then
known world indeed, it seems
that it was a passion with him so
to do.
Alas, most of the time he was
in Rome it was as a prisoner,
even though he was allowed to
live in his own house, with a Ro
man soldier guarding him, and to
talk freely with all who came to
see this great apostle, and many
came. His letters written to vari
ous churches when be waa a pris
oner in that city are among the
greatest sermons ever preached
in all the world.
There have been many mission
aries since Paul's time, but none
who diil so much for the church,
none who more implicitly obeyed
the injunction: "Go ye therefore,
and make disciples of all nations."
