School lesson for August 26.
Paul in a Roman Prison. Acts
I
* * *
BY WM. E. GILROY, D. D.,
Editor of The Congregationalist
The winning of Lydia to the
Christian faith with its favorable
consequences for Paul was not al
together typical of Paul’s experi
enC e at . Philippi . and ... the influence
0 f his teaching upon the women
who-heard him.
Among his converts was a young
woman who, we should say today.
had " psyC hic” powers but who was
thought of in that day as a sooth
sayer exercising her strange art
throught some evil possession. As
the company of devout people that
pau] {ound in philippi went t0
prayer, this young woman fol
lowed Paul and hi$ associates,
crying," "These men are the serv
ants of the most high God which
unto us the way of salva
ti0 n This she did on successive
days until Paul turned and exor
cised this spirit of evil, and the
young woman became freed from
her strange possession.
Freed From Bondage
Just how we are to interpret
these things with our modern
knowledge of psychology is
ful, but it is quite clear that the
masters of this young girl were
using her powers for their own
base ends and for material gain,
whereas Paul was interested in
the young woman’s welfare; and
whatever the experience was, she
ft’as saved from a distressing con
dition.
The benefit that came to the
young woman, however, through
1 '* *■”
antagonism of her masters, who
now saw that the hope of their
gain was gone. Here in Philippi,
accordingly, we see the beginning
in western civilzatlon of that con
flict between spiritual Interest and
selfish gain which lias continued
to the present day. Instead of
being glad that the young woman
being culled to account for their
action by Rome.
However, Paul and Silas were
cast into prison, where that dra
matic event, quickly happened which
is known as the conversion ot the
Philippian jailer. It is a wonder
ful story of Christian forttfitude
in the midst of trial, Paul and
Silas at midnight praying and
singing hymns to God even though
they were thrust into the inner
prison and their feet were fast in
the stocks! Wha tstrange effect
there must have been upon the
other prisoners who heard them!
Then came the earthquake with
the shaking of the foundations of
the prison and thrf opening of the
j doors.
Tried to End His Life
The Jailer, in terror, was about
to kill himself, supposing that all
his prosoners had escaped, when
there happened an even stranger
thing than the earthquake. Here
were men who had hnd the oppor
tunity to escape who had chosen
to remain. It was no wonder that
been helped by Paul, her
masters were roused to great fury
and, like all such people Influenced
by their own self-interest, they
believed that religion ought to
“keep to its own place.”
It would not have souuded very
well to accuse Pam by; saying that
their own gains had been dissi
pated by the conversation of the
young woman and that that was
their real concern about the mat
ter. It sounded much better to
attack Paul on the ground of his
religion. So the masters of the
young girl brought Paul and Silas
into the marketplace and before
the magistrates, seeking to stir
religious prejudice against
“The men being Jews,”
said, “do exceedingly trouble
city and teach customs which
not lawful for us to receive
to observe, being Romans.”
How persistent in history
been the device of selfish men
making religious prejudice
their own ends! How
often it Is for the masses of
to see how grossly they are
in their way. Even in our
time what schemes of trickery
greed can often be
perpetrated If some group or
vidual surrounds these
with religious or patriotic
j dice.
j | Surely nothing is more
sary in the world today than
j clear insight that leads people
| unselfish love for God and
hearted and devoted love for
country to scrutinize with
ness and sound Judgment the
tivities of self-seekers, and
ticularly the sort of
who are always raising a
against other people.
The failure of the
and people to exercise at
some sound Judgment in the
ter led them Into serious
They did not realize that Paul
himself a Roman citizen, and
laying stripes upon him, and
ing him into prison, they
themselves In serious danger
‘ «‘J‘f'fQ‘ETW‘é‘“

the jailer, hearing Paul’s loud
voice, "Do thy self no harm for we
are all here,’’ under the power of
that marvelous experience, imme
diately became a convert to the
faith.
One migh' well as* what did he
mean when he Inquired, What
must I do to be saved?” But
whatever he put into the question
Paul put the glory of a great sal
vation into his answer.
"Believe on the Lord Jesus and
thou shalt be saved, thou and thy
house.” Is it any wonder that the
lesson ends with the record that
the Jailer "rejoiced, believing in
God with all his house."
