Sunday, September 6th
"Turning to the Gentiles"
Acts 14:8-13, 19, 20; Romans 10:
8-13.
As there are epochs in the lives
of men, communities and nations;
so there are epochs in the Kingdom
of God and in the church. Our les
son must be approached with that
thought in mind, as referred . to ; in
our last lesson. The time had come
that "the tiding of great joy should
come to all people." (Luke 2:10).
The movement was on; the men
had been chosen; the way opened; a
beginning had been made; the occa
sion was at hand. God's prophesy is
soon to be fulfilled that Paul must
"bear my name before the Gentiles."
(Acts 0:15). The inner urge drove
Paul and Barnabas from Cyprus to
the continent of Asia Minor and on
this circuit they visited Perga, Anti
och. Here the crisis developed (the
teacher must rehearse Paul's first
sermon, Acts 13:16-47). "We turn
to the Gentiles" is the outcome. The
die is cast, there is no turning back;
the Jews rejecting God's overtures
for mercy, the Gentiles "were glad."
(See Acts 13:46, 47).
The redemption for the race
wrought by Jesus Christ must fulfill
its mission; if one does reject it
another will accept it.
Antioch is in Pisidia on the river
Anthios. Latin was the language.
Paul passed a second time through
Antioch on his way to Perga and
Attalia (Acts 14:21). Leaving Anti
och, the apostles came to Iconium, a
very prominent city; here they
preached in the synagogue to the
Jews and God-fearing Greeks; a
great multitude believed very ef
fective preaching. That is the secret
of preaching that prevails and that
wins; the preaching that is authori
tative, definite, positive and without
apology. But trouble was brewing
and the apostles thought it best to
depart. So the Holy Spirit led these
preachers into new unevangelized
territory. Was the work in Anoitch
and Iconium in vain? No! God gave
these people their chance. So does
every man get his chance if he ac
cepts the Gospel, he will be a happy
child of God if he rejects Christ,
he goes to his doom! God is justi
fied when, as a last resort, he must
tell man: "Depart from me, ye curs
ed." (Matt. 25:41).
And now we come to the miracle
at Lystra. This was probably the
city of Timothy, and it is almost
certain that on his first missionary
journey he became a believer in the
Lord Jesus Christ, for on his second
visit, he is called a disciple. (Acts
16:1). Here Paul finds an impotent
(man, who had never walked. This
inan heard Paul preach, possibly
epeakins ot Christ as the great
Healer. Paul observing his interest
Jn the sermon; he fastens his eyes on

WILL WITNESS GAMES
Tuesday evening Fred G. Morgan
departed for St. Louis where he will
spend a few days visiting with rela
tives and friends and as well wit
ness the New York Giants-Cardinal
series. Fred is a very enthusiastic
baseball fan and will enjoy very
much this crucial series which will
have an important bearing on the
outcome of the race for the national
league pennant.
Lesson Study!
By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb.
him, like Peter in Jerusalem (Acts
3:4) with Christ-like compassion,
and spoke with a loud, electrifying
voice: "Stand upright on thy feet."
What wonder-working power in the
word of authority! What faith do
we behold in the impotent man!
Taking God at his word brings al
ways the desired results.
In mythology we find stories of
heathens like these people expressed;
deifying these men, believing them
to be gods, come down to live with
men like "Zeus and Hermes;" but
when Paul and Barnabas perceived
what the people attempted to do,
they were horrified but the Evil
One, in the persons of Jews from
Antioch and Iconium, had stirred
up the people against the Apostles,
with the result that the fickle peo
ple turned against these men and
stoned Paul, leaving him for dead.
So quickly can the applause of men
change into hatred.
What stirring scenes these apos
tles experienced! Undoubtedly Paul
was reminded of Stephen's stoning.
We must here record God's special
care over this man of destiny. After
having been left for dead, he rose
up and went back into the city. That
he could resume his activities after
such an outrage is, to say the least,
remarkable.
Does Paul return to Antioch of
Syria, to nurse his sores? No, he
retraces his steps, and appoints el
ders in the churches founded, giving
the work permanence. After three
years the apostles are back at Anti
och, relating what God had done
with and through them. Thus ended
the first missionary tour.
Now we give attention to Paul's
theology. (Rom. 8:8-13). Two things
are made clear: (1) that men are
saved by believing in Jesus Christ
alone; (2) that men cannot hear of
Christ unless someone brings them
the message of salvation. Righteous
ness is offered in Christ here and
now can be accepted wherever man
may be. Confeseing Christ means to
acknowledge him and accept him as
Lord. Sad to say, in most Protestant
churches today little opportunity is
given for public confession of
Christ, except when taken in as
members. Faith in a living, resur
rected Christ brings salvation.
"With the heart men believes un
to righteousness;" for when a man
believes with all his heart, he is ac
cepted by God as righteous, that is,
he has been justified. Here the doc
trine of "Justification" should be in
troduced and explained.
"Hallelujah, what a Savior
Who can take a poor lost
sinner;
Lift him from the miry clay
and set him free!
I will ever tell the story,
Singing Glory, Glory, Glory
Hallelujah! Jesus ransomed
me." i

luncheon of the organization Tues

leadership of R. W. Knorr, who pre
sented the various speakers of the
program.
Dr. R. P. Westover detailed the
various points of interest that he
and the family had enjoyed in the
Minnesota lake country and the
places of inferest that they had
found in the northland, which de
spite the drouth that had visited this
as well 83 ojther qectipns of the

ant place for the summer outing.
Dr. H. G. McClusky, who with
Mrs. McClusky, had spent a month

or the section where they had so
journed. This section of the country

Tennis Battle
In Grueling Four Hour Struggle Lar
son and Will Lose to uoiiege
View Doubles Decide.
Due to a misunderstanding as to
who was in charge of Lawlor cup
play, in Gregg McBride's absence,
the local netters were forced to play
in Lincoln.
The College View team was vic
torious over Plattsmouth 2-1, but not
before they were within one point of
losing it three times.
The match was a thriller and ding-
dong affair throughout. As Gregg
McBride said: "Every kind of shot
you have ever heard of was seen in
the doubles match."
Jim Will lost a very well played
match to Bob Harrison, University
of Nebraska player, 6-1, 4-6, 6-3.
Jim fought an uphill battle all of the
way and at no time during the three
9ets was either player sure of vic
tory until the end.
Ray Larson outplayed Bernio "War
ren in the other singles, 7-5, 6-4.
This match was an interesting match
to watch. Many long volleys featured
the Dlay. ... . .
The' real 'thriller was the doubles
play. This was the deciding match
to determine the winner. In the first
set College View won easily, 6-1.
But the second set was a long drawn
out affair, which Plattsmouth won
15-13. For a long time it was
Plattsmouth winning Larson's and
Warren's serve, and College View
winning Harrison's and Will's. The
break that cost 'College View the set,
was Larson's losing his serve, then
Plattsmouth won Harrison's serve
and also Will's and Warren's.
The third set was very well play
ed, College View winning it 7-5. In
the tenth game, Plattsmouth had
advantage and match-point three
times, but couldn't quite put it
across.
College View meets the Pierce team
next Sunday featuring the Calverts,
Al and John, former Plattsmouth
residents.
