Golden text—"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for thelrs is the kingdom of heaven."—Mat- thew v.10. In the missionary expdMences of Barnabas and Paul in Iconfum and Lystra, Paul reaped what he had sowed as a persecutor of the followers of the Lord Jesus. In Iconiim they preached to large congregations in the syna- gogue. They won many disciples from both the Jews and the Greeks. Thelr success caused a division in the ranks of the religious people, which resulted in more violent opposition than they had experienced in Antloch of Pisidia. Evidently some of their enemies in the latter city had journeyed about 90 miles to stir up a persecution in Iconium. Both Greeks and Jews joined in an- tagonizing the two missionaries in such a violent opposition that they escaped death by flight. They left the main line of travel and went to Lystra, which was “a frontier town,” whose inhabi- tants were heathen. These rough, energetic and ignorant people had not come under the refining influence of either the Greeks, Romans of Jews. It appears to have been the most pagan city in which Paul ever preached. They were influenced by their old heathen religion and the crude faith of the old mythologies. Crippled Healed. Christianity stands out in the history of the world for its effect to alleviate human suffering, sorrow and sickness. | Paul was attracted by the evident faith | of “a certain man” who, although a beggar, had grasped the message of sal- vation, which the missionaries had preached in the market place. Feeling SEPTEMBER 12 Sunday School Lesson Y. Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson. had delivered His servant from the wrath of his enemies. When Paul was revived he did not leave Lystra at once, as he did when he was persecuted in Iconium and Antioch, for he entered the city and the follow- ing day he left for Derbe, where, with- out any record of any serious opposi- tion, Paul won victorles for the Lord Jesus, His courage and confidence in the power of God to deliver him out of all dangers is seen in his determination to revisit the scenes of strife and strug- gle so that he could bulld up the dis- ciples and organize the churches that | h;gns been established through their Visiting Dangerous Centers. Tarsus, where Paul was born, could easlly be reached from Derbe. No doubt the pull of the old home was felt when Paul concluded his work in that city. There was a stronger in- fluence that moved him to return | through the dangerous centers, where | he had suffered persecution for the | glory of the Lord Jesus. Paul longed to see the disciples that had been won for Christ and enrolled among the 1(ollowcrs of the Master, so thal he | could strengthen them in their faith, encourage them in their work, correct |any errors, organize their activities in such a way that they could become stong and vigorous churches. Barnabas was of the same mind, so they retraced their steps from Derbe, visiting Lystra, | Iconfjum snd Antioch, where they had | suffered for the Master. ° This gave them an o“portunlcy for fellowship with the brethren and sis- ters in Christ, who had to stand up loyally for their Savior. Each disciple had to face needs that were peculiar to themselves. Their faith needed to be confirmed by personal instruction and prayer. The churches had not been organized. In each community the leaders have had to be chosen and set apart for their work.

Schaeffer, EVERY ONE CORDIALLY INVITED There was a tradition that these two gods had visited Lycaon, the king, “who we move on to victory and !flumph‘v d i - : fi]:ltfil‘ npa f rw | St. Columba’s N. | | entertained them by setting human flesh on the table, for which crime he was turned into a wolf, and again in the beautiful legend of Baucis and Philemon, the poor couple, Who were the only ones to receive the gods in hospitality, and as a reward were al- lowed to die at the same time, so that | neither should survive to bemoan the loss of the other.” Paul and Barnabas did not under- stand the native tongue of the Lycaon- ians, so were not able to correct the mistake of the people until they saw the priest of the pagan temple of Ju- piter approaching them for the purposc of worshiping them as gods at the If they had understood the people’s cry they would have corrected it then before they stopped the priest of the pagan faith almost in the act of sacrificing the oxen in their honor and decorating them with garlands. Hor- ror stricken at the people’s mistake, both the missionaries stripped their clothes to the waist and rushed out among the people in an effort to stop thelr false worship. They insisted that they were men of like passions, subject to the same infirmities and weaknesses, who were missionaries appointed to per- | suade them to turn from the unreal worship of idols and worship the ever- living God whose power they had wit- nessed in the healing of the cripple They refused to accept any popularity that may have resulted from their min- istry. This resulted in the fickle crowd turning against the missionaries, so that they joined in stoning Paul. Paul Stoned. The same intense hatred that had created the spirit of persecution in An- tioch and Iconium appeared among these heathen. Their enemies had fol- lowed them to Lystra. They took ad- vantage of the reaction that followed the refusal of Barnabas and Paul to be honored as Jupiter and Mercury by stirring them up to stone the preachers of the Gospel. They centered their at- tack upon Paul and having stoned him, they dragged him out of the city, where | they left his body, believing that the | apostle was dead. His enemies did not | believe that Paul was worthy of burial. About the fallen preacher’s body was a | group of loyal disciples, pleading in prayer that Paul should be restored to | them. They were surprised to see him | rise up and walk with them to a place of security within the city. The Lord | - Jres CHEVY CHASE Chevy Chase Circle Rev. J. Hiliman Hollister, D.
