DUXEURY, (Seal) J-2-4w County Judge. Golden Text: "And He Eaid unto! them. Go ye unto all the world and preach the srospel to the whole crea tion." Mark 16:15. The church at Antioch was the re- j suit of the persecution of the early Christians at Jerusalem. They who were driven out of Jerusalem were scattered everywhere. Many Jews i went to Antioch where they preach ed and worked with Jews while oth ers who were not Jews worked with any and everyone, where they could, teliing the story of the Christ and upon the work of all was a wonder ful church established. The people. members of this church, had a mind : to work. They had an astounding faith which was attested by their! works. They -prayed with a faith that would move mountains. After Barnabas and Paul had worked for a year with the church j at Antioch the church had became! a young giant in the work of the J Master and his cause. There were ; great men in the faith and workers for the cause in the church among whom were Barnabas and Symeon. who was called Niger and Lucino of Cyrene and Manean. the foster broth er of Herod the Tetrearch, the gov- ornor. and Sau.l All great men Ithry in the course of their work As min istered before the Lord and fasted the Holy Spirit said. Separate me, Barnabas and Saul for tjie work whereunto I have called them. Then when they hnd fasted and prnyed and laved their hands on them. They sent them away. So they being sent out by Holy Spirit went down to Seluneia and there railed to Cyprus. The elder- of the church at Antioch h-id ordained these two men minis ters and missionaries, sending them to a foreign field for they, in accord ance with the command of the Mas ter as He was departing for heaven at the time of his ascension, who trid. "Go ye unto all the world and teach my gospel to every creature." They, in accordance with this com irand. were willing to go carrying the glad tidings that pardon had been purchased by the Christ, the Master, for all the world. If the world was to be saved someone mu?t take the message to the world. Hence, the spirit of the missions. They went to Cyprus, the former home of Barna bas and arrived at Salamas. where they found a synagogue of the Jews and they preached therein. This was their custom. They also had John mark with them who helped. Beginning here they made a town, preaching whenever opportunity af forded until they had traveled the entire length of the island. They came to Paphos which is at the ex treme west end of the island. Here they found a man. Bar-Jesus, who was a fortune teller, and a false prophet. This man relied upon the ignorance of the people and worked upon tbeir superstitions. This man was with the provincial Siglus Paul is, a man of great understanding. But Bar-Jesus sought to prevent Paul and Barnabas from coming into con tact with the governor that he might still hold his sway over him. When Elynius for this was his name, per sisted in working to prevent the gov ernor of the island. Paul turned on him and said. "O full of all guile and villainy thou son of the devil. Thou enemy of all righteousness. will thou not cense to prevent the rieht wav of the Lord? and now be hold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee and thou shalt be bund, not seeing the sun for a season." And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking someone to lead him by the hand. Then the procounsel when he saw what was done, believed, being rstonished at the teaching of the Lord. Paul and Barnabas as we learned in the lesson of some weeks ago. had pone to Jerusalem, taking the offer ing of the Antioch church at Jerus alem for a famine was there and the members of the Antioch church were pleased to relieve those in need while they were at Jerusalem. James had been beheaded and Peter had been 6hut up in prison and mayhap were at the prayer meeting when Peter had been delivered from prison when after their mission had been com pleted they had returned to Antioch. They took John Mark who con tributed so much to the world when lie wrote the second gospel. So when Barnabas and Paul start ed out on their missionary journey they had with them this apostle who had been with the Master while he was on earth and had seen the many wonders which He had wrought. This was a great asset to the two missionaries, for John Mark was able to tell the things which he had seen with his own eyes. How the Christ had blessed the five barley loaves and the two small fishes; how He had walked on the sea of Gallilee: had healed the leper and even raised the dead. Mark testified the things which he had seen with his own eyes. With these three devoted workers there was an opportunity to do real service for the Master. Throughout all the hundred miles of the island which they traveled they taught and preached telling the story of the risen Christ. How He had come from heaven in the form of a babe, grew to manhood and suffered in every' way as most men do; how He had stilled the tempest; had cast out devils; brought the dead back to life; and after had been crucified; had ascended to heaven and at the right hand of God makes interces sions for us there, proving that He is the veritable Son of God, the Sav ior of the whole world for He said unto Martha, I am the resurrection and the life and whosoever believeth on me, though he were dead, yet shall he live and whosoever liveth and believeth on rne thall never die." Then did the reople of the island who heard believe and accepted the 4th of White Kid, Patent Leather and Sport Felts; also Mid Summer Straws and Silks, includ ing Fisk, Gage and Parisian Models Si 95 Open all day the 4th 81 PlatUmouth, salvation which the Christ h ul of - fered and were added to the church thus the f;rst missionary tour was a most profitable one and the churches which were established were a por tion of the work required for the evangelization of the world. Nearly two thousand years have now passed and still ther? are many to whom the message has. not yet come. The question comes to us. Could the world be evangelized during the tMeeni fivuf idnuii. nine leading artist God has placed in our hands the ' . alrejidv at w.rk message to the world and told in a ! jurnjt im. an,j iian; forceful and convincing way to a!l!in tlie r,."( n ro,,n7 ine worm iney musi accept n auu!rublic paries t world must follow the Christ. lo those wl;o have accepted the salva tion of the Master realize the price He paid for their redemption and are they willing to carry the mes sage to the world telling what won derful things the Lord has done for them. wh.cn we can see that the way to pay for our own salvation is to bring someone to the Master, then the world will begin to see the dawn of a new era in which "the swords shall be beaten into plowshares and the spears into pruning hooks, then the people will make war no more and there 'will be nothing to molest or make afraid in all the holy moun tains of the Lord and the gospel will have been preached to all the world.

SAYS LABORERS ARE SCARCE Common labor is had to secure at this time has been shown by the ef forts put forth by Searl S. Davis to secure men to work on the construc tion of the new wagon and auto bridge over the Tlatte river. Mr. Davis had a request from the con- struition company to hire several men last night, paying at a rate of 2"c an hour to the laborers on the construe-1 tion work. Mr. Dari-? visited a num ber of places over the city to try and j secure the number of men needed in the work and found but very few who were willing to take up the jobs. I most of them thinking the rate of payj too low. After some effort he was j able to secure the men needed and who are today engaged in work on , the new bridge and at the rate of j pay set by the construction company, j Advertise your wants in the Jour nal for results.
