She had followed the apostle and his companions about the streets and kept calling out, “These men are the slaves of the Most High God, who proclaim to vou a way of salvation.” The apostle ®aw that this testimony was at- tracting attention to their work in an injurious wav. Her words were m interpreted by the people. Sir Wil liam M. Ramsey has pointed out that “the Most Hizh God" was a familiar name in the syncretistic paganism of the time, and her testimony had a tendency to give the community a wrong conception of Christianity. | Jesus had refused to allow the demons to testify in His favor, so Paul in the | his Lord had expelled the Rev.

When the masters of voung woman saw that “the hope of their gain was gone” by her refusal 10 continue the work of divination they were enraged and dragged Paul| and Silas before the civil authorities, who met in the public square or mar- ket place. They were careful tn frame up a charge that would ap peal to the patriotism of the judges and racial hatred of the people against the Jews, claiming that the Christian missionaries were disturbers of the public peace and teachers of an unlawful religlon. They stirred up the multitude against the two religious leaders by their false prelfnsmnl of being interested in the city’s welfare. when they were inspired by a vin dictive spirit. In claiming that the prisoners were gullty of teaching an “unlawful’ re- liglon they had a possible technical legal basis. Although the Roman government was tolerant of all faiths, any possible form of proselyvtizing from one faith to another was un lawful. The gospel violated both the spirit and letter of this Roman law. To preach the truth of one God and Jesus Christ was u direct attack upon il forms of idolatry and paganism In freeing the poor slave girl from the demon the apostle had struck the first blow at European heath entsm. The appeal to the fact that | they were Jews Was probably h;ulM. pon a recent uproar in Rome, which | brought upon the Jews banishment from the city. Paul and Silas were Imprisoned by the plebiscite of & mob which de prived the two missionaries of their constitutional rights as Roman cit! zens. They were flosged by lynch law, although it was illegal to so pun- ish a Roman. They were then cast into an Inner prison, which was prob ably a cave, and fastened in stocks Their bodies were covered with blood that flowed from the wounds of the lash, which frequently exposed the bones of a victim. The stocks were | instruments of torture that strained the limbs very painfully and increased the suffering by throwing the weight of the bodv upon the bruised shoulders. Not a word of complaint fell from the lips of the two prison- ers, who were imprisoned without any cause other than loyalty to Christ Jesus. They rejolced that hey were worthy to suffer for Him. His grace sustained them, so that at when the church usually met to praise God, they com menced to fill the prison with their songs and pravers. Midnight Prison Songs. Whila they could not hear the mup plications that were being offered in Lydia's home for the prisoners, there was One who heard the cries of the church for its founders and the sonzs of the prisoners. The poise of the Apostle and Silas in that hour Proved that their faith was well founded. Their Lord heard their songs and prayers, as well as those of the church. By means of an earthquake He enabled them to triumph over their foes and win the jailer for Christ. Suddenly while they were singing another sound was heard, caused by the mighty move- ments of nature, which made the earth to tremble. The earthquake shook the foundations of the prison and “as it passed along the ground forced the door posts apart from each other. so that n its hold and the doors swung open. it ched the chains and stocks so that the prisoners were unbound. If the other prisoners had not heen of a superstitious class thev would have taken advantage of their opportunity and secured their freedom. The keep- er of the prison recognized this and, tearing 1o face the results, started to take his own life. Paul saw the jailer as he was about to commit suicide and saved him by calling out to the Qespairimg man: Do thyself harm, for we are all here.”” That note of warning has been heard by many throughout the world and it has helped to save them as it did the I conviction forced ltself home to the centurion, who was responsible for the prisoners, that he had been fight- ing God. He saw in the earthquake the evidence of the superiority of the apostle’s faith. He lost no time to seek from his prisoners the way of salvation. There is a play on a word which does not appear in our English | ‘ransiation. When Paul heard the agonizing request of the jailer, Lords, what must I do to be saved?’ he quickly recognized the opportunity the psvehic presented of winning the jailer “for | | Taking the word “Lords” out Chelet the apostle of the jailer's petition. {told him, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Paul's great answer to the greatest question any man can ask suggested to the inquiring jaller the fact that although he had looked upon the two prisoners as superhuman, they were not. 1t called for the keeper to accept the Lord Jesus. as his personal| Savior, and be obedient to His com- mands. He called upon the jailer to accept Christ as Savior and pattern for his life. These two fundamental requirements of faith and obedience are the conditions of salvation today, as they were for the jailer and his family. Each member of his family and every member of his household found salvation, as all can, through faith and obedience. Faith saves and doing His will proves our salvation. Standing Up for Principles.

Although there has been much progress during the years of Christian history, more awaits upon our recognition of the close relation that exists between the spiritual and secular spheres of service. The fafler demonstrated the close connection by a feast, which celebrated his public | profession by baptism of his faith in Christ Jesus. He made the prisone! his honored guests. In the morning when they were of fered their freedom, Paul decided to stand upon their rights as Romans. There, says P. W. Wilson, was first asserted the habeas corpus ' After they had forced the mag strates to recognize their responsibil ity for the protection of Roman citi- zens, Paul and Silas decided to leave Philippl. They evidently left it under Luke's supervision, as *we" disap- pears from the narrative. They recog- nized that their stay in Philippi would result in provoking persecution that would be detrimental to the develop- ment of the church, whose interests they put first. They summoned the brethren for a conference, comforted them and departed to other flelds, ed in Philippi a home base for work in Europe upon which they could depend for help at all times and in every emergency.
