History is silent concerning the latter movements of liip and the eunuch, but we mas Ttain that the records of hie @ story of their successful work One of the most important events in connection with the establishmer of the Christian religion among the Gentiles was the conversion of Saul of Tarsus. This brilliant youns scholar had a_prominent part in the persecution of Stephen. The infiu- ence of Stephen's prayer gripped the gifted rabbl so that he tried to crush the work of the Holy Spirit in his life by entering upon a zealous per- secution of the followers of J In attempting to carry out his co mission to destroy _the Christian church in Damascus, Saul had to pass through the scenes of Christ's min- istry. Doubtless he learned much of the Master's personality, preaching and philanthropic work as he moved toward Damascus. His sudden con- version and the commission of the convert to become the ambassador of Jesus to the Gentlles made that day one of the most epochal in (hé history of the early church. The conversion of Saul may had something to do with the endi of the persecutions against the fc lowers of Christ, “for the churches throughout Judea, Galilee and Sa- maria had rest and were built up in the faith.” When the persecution closed the church program called for a church, not for Jews only, but for all mankind. The persecution had made them some- thing distinct and different from Judaism. _The revivals that had Started, wherever the disciples went preaching the Gospel, had estab- lished churches in Antioch, Cyprus and Damascus on the north and the conversiori of the Ethiopian had car- ried the gospel into Africa. During the days of trial the apos- tles remained in Jerusalem. The broadening of the work called for an inspection and fraternal visit by the apostles. In the narrative of the Acts Luke wefers only to the tour made by Peter among the smaller churches in the smaller villages and cities of Judea, Samaria and Galilee. In the course of his inspection he visited Jbppa and Lydda, where he performed miracles that gave the churches in the communities prestige and posi- tion. The raising of Aenas, who had been bedridden by the palsy for eight years in his home in Lydda, resuited in the winning of Lydda and. Saron to Christ, About eight miles away at Joppa a young woman, named Tabitha, had Wwon a place for herself by her win- some personality and philanthropic service. She was the first person named in the history of Christianity Who consecrated her talents and used her wealth and hands in a practical charity for the benefit of ths poor. No person in the church appeared to be more needed than this consecrated that d b Peter expo: Vs idered bribery of h a that the might v a escape the ci tr have n| ISHILOH BAPTISTS BUY Philip | | | | | | persecution ; who | discovered God's [ Al l | memb soul, whom they called Dorcas, yet she ‘was taken from them by death. In their sorrow the officers of the young church sent for Peter, who immediately responded to their call for help. He was touched by the tribute of the widows to her philan- thropic work. In answer to the apostle’s pra to the church. This resulted in a large accession to the church and to Peter's tarrying for a season with the at’ Joppa.

New York City LAENTS DECLINE INBIBLE EDUCATION Clergyman Points Out Chil- dren Now Instructed Only One Hour a Week. An article by Rev, Clarence H. Ben- son In the Moody Bible Institute Monthly {lluminates the revolution- ary change in regard to the religious education of children, that has taken place in America since the early col- onial days. He says in part: The Bible was used every day in the average colonial family. The father conducted family worship and every member of the household was present. Bible reading and devo- tional exercises were a large part of the Sabbath program. The Bible was used every day in the public school. From contem- porary sketches it is ascertained that the Bible was generally read twice 4 day in the upper classes and in many instances was the on ade used by the lower classes. The o brated New England Primer, th it place as the leading text- for one hundred and fifty years Jas almost entirely made up of se lections and guotations from the Bi- ble. Indecd the purpose of tne @ trict school appeared to be to educate children sufficiently to enable them to read the Bible for themselves, Use Now Given Up. “But the days of religious tion in the home and school ed.
