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

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

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

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

the spears into pruning hooks, then
the people will make war no more
and there 'will be nothing to molest

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
