Golden Text Be thou faithful unto death, and I “will give tliee'a crown of life. (Rev. 2:10), If we were engaged in a human warfare, suppose we ourselves and our armies had things so arranged that every attack by the enemy, even their seemingly most successful vic­ tories, all worked in our favor. War­ fare of that sort would be rather one-sided, would it not? Qur own success would be guaranteed no mat­ ter whatt happened; the enemies de­ feat would be assured no matter yrhat victories they won. This may sound very fanciful, and it is so, when applied to human war­ fare, But it is an accurate descrip­ tion of what the trusting child of God may count upon in »all the ex­ periences of the-warfare of the Chrjs- tain life. Every attack by the enemy, iwhether of evil spirit’s or of evil men against tbe Christian who is really trusting God and abiding in Christ, means victory for the Christian— even when the enemy’s attacks are, to all appearances, deadly successful. One of the most remarkable verses in the Bible is in Psalm 76:10: “Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee; the remainder of wrath Shalt Thou restain.” That verse might well have been chosen as the Golden Text for this lesson on .persecution. Let us keep in mind the supernatural law that ................................................. tp.................................... every seeming victory by the enemy over the Christian is the Christian’s gain and victory, and defeat. the enemy’s loss Only thus can we un­ derstand why God permits “success­ ful” persecution of His own devoted children. A human father might say, from his limited wisdom and de* voted love for his own children, that he would never permit them to be persecuted if he could prevent it, God could prevent it, yet He allows His children to be perescuted and He would not be truly loving if not allow this. Stephen is one ters described in Whom the Divine mistakes er mean that Stephen was not a sinner, for all men are. But his life, after he was saved, must have been pe- cularily yielded to God and kept the faith in Christ, It was one rare'ibeauty and power. Naturally, Satan hated a man this sort; and so did the Jews and other men whose lives were continu­ ally rebuked by Stephen’s character and life, even when he did not open his lips. But Stphen had Go d'­ given message to deliver-, and it' ;cut to the bone, as God’s Word is bound to do. The Jews lied about Stephen bearing the false witness that he had spoken blasphemous words against the temple and the law; he was arrested and brought before the San­ hedrin for trial. Stephen made his own defense in. an oration that is one of the most remarkable in all history and liter­ ature. He told the entire story, of Israel, from Abram’s call on to -Moses and the Exodus, Israel's shameful failure, the captivity in Babylon and culminating in tlmir betrayal and murder of the Son «f God 'their true Messiah, Stephen tolci the truth, and it cost him his life, As they were stoning him ta death andL successfully accomplishing their evil purpose ta get rid ef him, his reward, and vic­ tory marvelously appeared. God open­ ed the heavens to Stephen’s human sights h© saw the Lord Jesus Christ not sitting on the right hand of Cod, but “standing on the right hand of God” as Christ actually rose from the throne ta receive his z martyr. And stephen’s last word manifested his miracle'-victory, as ba grayed ter his enemy murders, ‘‘Lord, Jay net this sip tn their charge.” It was like the prayer of Christ on the cross. (Luke 23; 84.) Did this persecution of a noble character end the persecution again­ st the church? No, it only began it, for immediately there followed “a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and' they were all scattered abroad,” The enemies ,of Christ apd His church were like wild animals infuriated by the taste of blood. • ' A And did this put tap end to the Church? Exactly tbe opposite: then, as always, persecution multiplies the Church, resulting in a great increase of salvation among the Jost. The enemy’s success is the enemy’s de­ feat. The Church’s “defeat” is the Church’s success. The persecution, scattering the Church abroad, car- ried.tlie- Gospel far afield to Phenice Cyprus and Antioch apd a great number believed and turned unto the Lord.

In the lesson passage he tells of the deadly enmity he had against the Church and how he hounded many Christians to death. But God won this murderer and made him perhaps the greatest messenger of life the world has ever known.
