THE FIRST MISSIONARY
Text: “Now the Lord had sald unto
Abrabam, Get thee out of thy country,
and from thy kindred, and from thy
’lel house, unto a land that I will
show thee.,’—Gen. xii:l-3.
‘ The people of our generation are apt
to forget, in their intense zeal and fer
vor for the missionary work, that
Adoniram Judson, William Carey and
other leading mission workers of re
cent date were not the first mission
aries. The dawn of human history
opens up with God calling Abraham
to go into a country about which hLe
iknew absolutely nothing, for the pur
pose of becoming the father of a race
and of a nation from which shouid
spring the Messiah, the Saviour of ilie
’world. In the truest sense, Abraham
was really the first missionary, direct
ly called and sent into the service by
God Himself. Notice the methods of
Abraham’'s work, and compare them
with conditions to-day, and see, after
carefully and prayerfully considering
the matter, if present-day plans are
not conforming to the orizinal plans
‘laid down by God and carried out by
Abraham.
A Call to a New Work.
The call came to the father of the
faithful and was heard. He quickly
responded, because he heard the call
‘A called man is always an empowered
man. God never makes a mistake.
|The man always fits the place and
the place always suits the man. The
;time is always ripe. When God needs
a Saul, He is at hand, and while He
ils working on a Saul at one end of
the line. He is working on Ananias
at the other end. Study for a few
'moments the wonderful conversion cof
‘Saul. When he was stricken down on
‘the Damascus road and converted,
'still the Christians feared Him. Then
iGod said to a fearful disciple, “He
prayeth.” That seemed to cast out
fear. The man who whispers into
'the ear of the King, whether praisss
or supplications, is not to be dreaded.
}Sln will either stop praying or prayer
will stop sinning. Sinning and pray
ing can’t go on at the same time. Abra
‘ham was a praving man. He was one
‘who falked to God about his plans,
It is always the part of wisdom to
ask God to help make our plans, and
‘also for grace and strength to carry
them out. Power is needed to mase
plans and grace to carry them for
‘'ward. Someone has said that in some
‘respects a good Christian is like a
horse. You hitch a horse up, put a
bridle on him with blinders, a bit in
his mouth, harness on him, place him
beiween the shafts and speak to him
te go forward. He is patient and
obeys. He doesn’t ask where he is
going, when he will be fed, how long
he is to travel, whether the road is
rough or smooth, whether he will be
fed little or much, how and when h«
will be rewarded. ¥e¢ has nothing ‘o
do with the future, and thinks only «
obeying his master’'s voice now. Many
Christians, however. are not so. Thev
don’'t resemble Abty am. They want
to know all about the land into whi:h
they are called to go—every state and
condition, command and reward is 19
be investigated and looked into, all
about the journey and its end, its trials
and vicissitudes must be thoroughlv
comprehended before the call is fully
heeded. Such was not Abraham's at
titude. Like the horse, let us go where
the Father commands, and with faith
and fortitude advance according to
the commands of the Leader. We
may be called to go into strange
countries and perform peculiar tasks.
and assume burdens seemingly too
heavy to be borne. But through it
all we can krnow, from observation
and experience, that “we have a great
high priest who is touched with a
feeling of our infirmities and who
was tempted in all points like as we
are, and yet without sin. Abraham
looked forward to His day, and was
glad. We are more wonderfully
blessed, in that we can look back upon
all His-mighty works and can feel
that He has verified every promise
that He has ever made to the human
race, with the added fact that He has
definitely promised to be with us al
ways, even to the end of the world.
The essence of obdience is to go where
we be commanded, even though we
know nothing about the journey, and
less about the companionship on the
way. Uniried paths are hard to trav
el. This servant of God was to go to
Canaan and hive his life among the
people. One of the peculiar charac
teristics of Abraham’s religion was
that it was to be lived rather than
preached. It is even in this day easier
to preach than to live. Precept is
easier than example. It is no small
task to do a thing, however easy it is
to tel how it may be done. The
eternal purpose of the Infinite is
clearly revealed as we study the de
velopment of Abraham’'s call and
mission. A race had to be called
intc existeace, and before the race
must come the individual. Abraham
the individual became the. father of
the faithful. But Abraham was not |
the only missionary. He was the first
of a long line of pioneer workers
Isaac and Jacob, David and Nehe
miah, Amos and Isaiah, and a mighty
multitude of witnesses that no man
could number followed him. His ex- |
ample has been tremendously helpful |
to generation after generation. This
lone individual, going out from his
kindred and his native land into the
midst of strangers in a foreign coun- |
try, is wonderful when it 1s contemn
plated in the light of reason. One
can not help but compare with it the
life of Ruth. When, with sister and |
mother-in-law, she had decided U]mni
her choice, she faced a crisis. She
was to go into Israel a stranger.
Many difficuities presented them
selves, many troubles and vicissitudes |
were ahead; but facing God with a |
miraculous faith, starnding by the
side of her husband's mother, she
said, “Thy people shall be my people
and thy God my God: whither thou
goest I will go, where thou lodgest I
will lodge; thy country shall be my
country.” This faith that was so
gloriously manifest in the lives of
‘Abrahamn and Ruth, from whom our
Lord came, is still to be found in the
world to-day. When Christ stood in
the presence of the centurion and
marveled that He had not found so
great faith in Israel, it was but an
other way of saying that when faith
is not found where it should be ex
pected it would be found where least
expected. Because'when the Son of
Man comes He is going to find faith
on earth. When He comes to set up
His kingdom He is going to find those
who are true and faithful. John was
telling men to repent of their sins,
for the Kingdom of Heaven was at
hand, when His first advent occurred.
When He comes again missionaries
will be found telling the Gospel story.
The Enlnrgemn:: °lfl New Testament
| all.
The Old Testament call was pri
marily to the individual, to the ruce,
to the Jewish nation, Gradually it er
larged and extended further and fur
ther until in the New Testament dis
pensation the call inciudes all peo
ples, nations and languages and lis
obligatory upon all classes. All men
everyvwaere, from India’s coral strand
to Iceland’s frozen waters; from the
roar of the mighty Pacific’ to the
thunders of the Atlantic; to apostle
and preacher, to man and woman,
to lay worker and mission worker the
call comes alike. Do we heed? Is
the call’ as strong as it should be?
God so loved He gave. Christ se
ioved He came. John so loved he
suffered*exile on lonely Patmos. Dces
our love loom: large enough upon the
horizon of life to force us to go on
this missionary errand. There is a
work that each man is peculiarly fit
ted to do, a niche in life he was cre
ated to fill; if he doesn't, no other
can occupyv. The lesson of individual
responsipility looms large here.. Sup
pose for a moment, if such a thing
couid have been pessible, that Abra
ham had refused to go. Suppose that

To-day the call is to all. “Every
one of you,” says Paul. The work is
systemutic. The cail i® loud and in
sistent. Ma'cedonian call never came
louder to Paul than heathen calls
come to you this day. “Go ye,” is
just as obligatdry upon John Smith
as it was to John the Apostle. The
obligation to go weighed no heavier
upon Barnabas than it weighs upon
vou.
The missionary call is a personal
call to each saved sovl. Emphasis
to-day, as never before, is being
placed upon individual work for in
dividuals. It is impossible for the in
oividual to hide in the multitude. As
God called to Adam in the cool of the
evening in KEden's fragrant shrubs

journeyz, and note his hardships and
the tribulations of mind and body

work for him. to do, and he did it,

God calls not all of us to go in per
-son, but He gives us means and wants
us to be instrumental in sending
when we ¢an not go. Christ is our
glorious Leader. Yonder wherever
human woe and human need are found
He stands, and through the centuries

trumpet call, urging everyone to the
task. "Go ye into all the world and
J;rmrh the Gespel to every creature.
And lo! I am with you alway, even
to the end of the age.” Can we re

accept such a glortous task? Will
we yield or refuse? Upon our &ac
cepting or rejecting depends our fu
ture happiness. May our all be laid
upon the altar as was Abrabam's and
may we be used ever as he wag used,
