f HE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE FOUR Thursday, September 23, 1948 it WEEKLY BIBLE COMMENT Timothy's Story Reveals Great Character BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. OVMONG the friends of Saint r Paul were Christian disciples of three generations Timothy, the young man whom he called his "son," and to whom he addressed two epistles that have come down to us in the New Testament; his mother Eunice; and his grand mother Lois. (New Testament Bocks of I and II Timothy.) From a reference in Acts we know thtt Time thy was the child cf a mixed rr.arrir.ge, his father being a Greek, hi rrc'her a Jewess. But from if 2 fact that his early training is aUv.'co.Ud solely to. his mother ar.d grandmother, it is assumed that the father was d?vd when the family came to know Paul. 1 The companionship" between Pui and Timothy continued throughout Paul's life, though they ?rer not always together. We know from various references that STtnthy was with Paul at Ephe fciw, at Corinth, and in Macedonia. f-TlJ was also with Paul in his fist imprisonment at Rome, nd Paul sent for him to come to Vmo during his second imprison ,ent. Whether Timothy arrived Cicre or not is uncertain, but there U a tradition that he did reach Rome, and that like his spiritual father he suffered martyrdom there.

What is exact and unmistakable is the fact of his solid 'character and ability, for Paul entrusted to him great responsibility in the oversight of the churches, as well as in matters of fidelity and service to himself. In the story of Timothy are combined the influences of both heredity and environment . in the formation of a strong character. A boy so much under the influence, and perhaps the dominance, of his mother and grandmother might easily have come to depend to much on them as to lack t:s"i viduality and strength of charac ter in his own right. Good family training, with" wise guidance, ought to have as its purpose in preparing the young for the day when they must stand alone. , v .. - Eunice and Lois seem to have been wise in that respect, and at the proper moment for Timothy's full development along came Paul. The counsel that Paul gave to his "son" in the two epistles of I and II Timothy stands as an appeal to the young of every generation. The principles of disciplined character and effective service are there ' set forth by a mastermind, and a ; master of achievement. There is ' an example that youth might well j follow.
