Gospel Goes West
Lesson for February 12, 1959
CO YOU DON’T BELIEVE in
® foreign missions? Then you
can’t read the New Testament with
any comfort. Every book in it was
written either by a missionary, or
about missionaries, or to mission-
aries, or to be used in mission work.
Chapters 13 and 14
of Acts tell us
about the first or-
ganized foreign
mission project in
the history of the
Christian church.
It is the story of
how the Gospel
was taken out of
the narrow strip
of coastland along 0r* - oreman
the eastern shore of the Mediter-
ranean, where it was born, out into
the western world.
• • •
The Best They Had
THE FIRST missionary party
* were not raw untried men.
They were Barnabas and Saul, the
top leaders of Antioch. These men
had done a great work in Antioch;
their usefulness there was not at
an end by any means. But the
church sent them away to win
souls elsewhere. It is a mistake to
suppose that just anybody will do
as a missionary.
Ignorant people who suppose
that missionaries are only the
“eaUs” el the church don't
know the facts. A few years
ago a scientist, Ellsworth Hunt-
ington, made a study of the
graduates of Tale and Harvard
wtto were successful enough to
be written up in “Who’s Who
in America.” He found that
missionaries’ sons furnished the
largest proportion of those suc-
cessful men.
The reason for this, he believed,
is that only in missionary families
do you find that both parents, and
not just one, have to go through a
rigid sifting process. Only the best
—mentally, morally, physically—
are accepted by the church today
as missionaries.
• • •
Strategic Centers
OAUL, or Paul, who came rapid-
^ ly to the front in the mission-
ary team, was all for efficiency.
He never did a thing thq hard way
if an easier way would save his en-
ergy. So we find him heading for
the great centers of population.
In the synagogues he would
find the most religious people
in the city, people who already
believed in the One God and
who took seriously the Law
and the Prophets.
Barnabas and Saul stuck to cities
for another reason also. Not that
they despised small town folk, but
they knew that cities are where the
crowds are. For every dozen peo-
ple they could reach in a village,
there were hundreds to be reached
in the cities. So today, mission
work has generally concentrated
first in the most heavily settled
regions.
• • •
The Follow-Up
CAUL AND BARNABAS also set
^ the example for later genera-
tions in their use of the “follow-
up.” They did not suppose that
simply converting people was
enough. There had to be second
visits. Some churches Paul vis-
ited as many as five times. They
wcuid appoint officers in every
church. They knew that organized
religion is more likely to last than
disorganized religion.
They were not fly-by-night
evangelists, leaving behind
them only aa ebbing wave of
emotional excitement. Every
rose grower knows that it is
better to put a 16-ceut rose in
a 39-eent bole than to put a
59-cont rose into a 10-cent hole.
So Paul did not stick little seed-
lings of new Christians into barren
ground at random; he took pains to
see that they were solidly planted
in good rose-beds.
• 00
The Holy Spirit
■THERE IS ANOTHER, and most
^ important, way in which this
first missionary effort has set the
pace for all since: From beginning
to end, they depended on the Holy
Spirit. It was li.e Spirit who fir3t
suggested the idea; it was the
Spirit who gave the power, and
furnished the guidance. Not that
the Spirit was or is a substitute
fer human effort.
But to this very day, if you
want to find persons who know
about the Holy Spirit at first
baud, who know what it means
to depend on the Spirit and to
be used by Him, then get ac-
quainted with your church's
missionaries.
What to so many of us church-
goers is only a name, to them is
the deepest reality by which they
live.

bein£ received by the Bureau
of the Census District Office in
Beaumont, according to U. G.
Watson, District Supervisor.
Four hundred and eighteen
persons will work out of the
Beaumont office which has su-
pervision over 11 surrounding
counties. The counties and
number of enumerators that
will be required in each are as
follows: Angelina, 39; Hardin,
20 < Jasper, 21; Jefferson, 174;
Liberty, 31; Newton, 18; Or-
ange, 30; Sabine, 13; San Au-
gustine, 17; Shelby, 39, and
Tyler, 16.
Application forms may be
obtained from Texas Employ-
ment Commission offices in
Lufkin, Jasper, Orange, Beau-
mont, Port Arthur and Nacog-
doches or by writing to the Bu-
reau of Census Office, Room
33 Chamber of Commerce
Building in Beaumont. The ap-
plications would be submitted
by mail. Those persons shown
eligible by the application
blanks will be further screen-
ed at a later date. Personal in-
terviews will be held before
final employment.
To qualify for an enumera-
tor’s job, the applicant must
be a citizen of the United

cation or furnish evidence of
comparable experience, be in
good physical health and of
excellent character, and be-

od. This check will be receiv-
ed approximately two weeks
after successful completion of
training prescribed. Payment
for field work will be made
only after satisfactory comple-
tion of assignments. The meth-
od of payment will justify use
of an automobile.
New Potato Furnishes
Plenty of Vitamin C
Seattle, Wash.—A new va-
riety of potato, packed with vi-.
tamin C, has been developed
in a federal government labor-
atory, Dr> Kenneth Beeson re-
ported to the Washington
State Farm chemurgic commit-
tee.
The new spud may be capa-
ble of doubling the United
States’ supply of the valuable
vitamin which prevents scurvy.
The potato was developed in
the U. S. plant, soil and nutri-
tion laboratory in Ithaca, N.
Y. It .has been adapted for
growth in the northeastern
states, but Dr. Beeson believes
its vitamin C qualities can be
implanted in potatoes of other
Dates for the 1950 Texas 4-
H Club Round Up and the an-
! nual Extension Conference
, have been set for the week of
June 12-16.
