1 THE COMMUNITY CHURCH NEWS Vol. Ill Friday, October 2, 1936 STOW, OHIO No. 40 MINISTER'S TOPIC CONTENTMENT My, yes, what a jewel is contentment, just to quit this feverish push and shove and be content, to be satisfied, to have an ease of mind, a restful heart, a spirit undisturbed. Contentment is to take hold of the task in the rough, just as it is, and without friction or rasp to work it out contentedly, satisfied, happy as the day is long. Do you consider your life a humdrum? Do you covet the other fellow's gold? Are you dis-satisfied with your lot? Do you hate the old home? Do dad and mother bore you? Have you outgrown the c'hurch? Does the sermon get on your nerves? Do you chafe to fly away and quit these dull, stupid folk and places? Now, my friends, it's not the wood-shed, or carpet, or old floor, or poor old dad, or the church, or a thousand other stupid things that seem so cheap, so common, so undesirable, no, no, it is you, just you. One set of fingers will make everything spick and span in the most commonplace surroundings. Out of confusion will come order, and that without a murmur or complaint. With, another everything disintegrates, gloom and dust settle like death, the old gate swings on one hinge, the hoijse in ruin, the coat a rag. It's when the master in art, in music, in poetry, in any line whatsoever, touches the common-place, the crude, the rough, then it is transformed and becomes worthy, Sunday Sermon Subject:- beautiful, a delight. The bees do not make honey when discontented, disturbed and off in a swarm, even the fowls in the barn-yard are unworthy servants when unsettled and ill at ease. No, it's When they are content, that alone is the time of profit. Settle down, my friends, be content. There are discouragements of course, but just touch things as the Master Spirit would, and the trees oif tihe field will clap their hands, you will just be surprised what a transformation can be made in the church, and the home, and yourself. Let us hope that contentment as a virtue or a value of human happiness will not perish from the earth. GEO. M HULME MEN'S BIBLE CLASS The subject oif our lesson for next Sunday is "The Macedonian Call" Nine verses of this lesson are devoted to the details of God's direction of Paul and his party on their second missionary journey. It was Paul's ambition to carry the gospel into new fields and so he set out without a definite plan of procedure. When he left Antioch in Prisidia he started northeast toward the Black Sea. God stopped him and directed him North and then finally due West to Troas on the coast of the Aegean Sea. Here he gave him a vision of a man of Macedonia begging for help. Paul then took his party by boat to Neople's and thence by land to P'hilliplpi. Now let us stop here for a sur- Prove All Things

It was located on the great thoroughfare between Rome and Byzantium called the Egnatian W!ay. Through this city came travelers from the East and from the West. It was a center for the exchange of ideas and served, if you please, as a melting pot for various national and racial opinions. Travelers through Philipipi carried these ideas and news into every nook and corner of two great empires (Rome in the East and Byzantium in the West. So we see that the Lord directed Paul to the spot where his work would be most effective and it resulted in the formation of a great network of Christian influence. It is a wonderful example of the power and wisdom of God as he reveals himself through men. And here, in this strange and metropolitan center, Paul went to a river bank to pray and God promised Lydia, a seller of purple to be blessed, converted and to open her home as an abode for Paul. He went to Philippi a stranger and was received into an excellent household as a brother. (Acts 16:7-15). The last four verses Of our lesson reveal Paul's life ambition. It was to blaze trails. It wias to go places and do things other men had not dared to do His zeal is demonstrated in his phrase, "lest I should build on another man's foundation." Oh that we might have more men today with the ambition and zeal of Paul, men who strive to new goals and greater fields to conquer, not men who try to see how little they can do and how small they can be and merely exist. (Romans 15:18-21) N. W. BIGGS
