BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON
Sunday, July 29th
By M. S. Briers i
make disciples of all nations, baptis
ing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit;
j teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you;
and lo, I am with you always, even
unto the end of the world." Matt.
28:19-20.
The Church at Antioch
Now there were at Antioch in the
church there, prophets and teachers,'
Barnaba3 and Symeon, that was call
ed Niger and Lucius, of Cyrene, and
Manean, the foster brother of Herod,
the Patriarch, and Saul, or Paul as
he was then known. There were many
others, too, for this was a bijj church
and a large congregation and all were
earnest in the work which was given1
them to do. They met with much
regularity and were earnest in their
work. They realized that the truth
which the new Christianity taught
was of the utmost importance and
that as the world had called it "The
Way," it was indeed the way of life,
and the only way a3 Paul as he is
now known, said in later years:
"There was no other name given un
der heaven or among men, whereby
we must be saved only the name of
the Son of God, Jesu3 Christ. x
At a meeting at which there was
a full representation of the church,
they prayed and asked for instruction
and the Holy Spirit said unto them:
"Separate Saul and Barnabas for the
wcrk which they are called to do."
Then when the selected and the
church had prayed together, Saul
and Barnabas went forth on their
tour of teaching which led them into
strange lands, and it was at this time
the first foreign missionaries of the
Christian church were established.
Go Teachitg and Preaching
Saul and Parnabas, being sent by
the church at Antioch, and guided by
the Holy Spirit and having John
Mark with them, went from Antio. h,
which was at that time a great ciiy
with half a million population and
the church most flourishing, they be
irg icTit fcrth by the chur h and di
re ted by the Holy Spirit, thus con
fo: Tnihg to ihe plan which the Mas
ter had arranged when he v.pr, on
caiih. that the message of love which
the Father had sent was to be de
livered by human beings ar.d ali pos
sible done by r.'an to f.ave his f el low
man. Tiscy went flown from Antioch
to Selricia, which was sixteen miles
down the Grout es river, and as Sa
lucia was the i-ea port of Antioch, a
highway was also builded alrr.g the
river, to assist in the caring for traf
fic, both human and freight, and
finding that was not FUtiicient. a
canal was also construc ted to care for
the additional traffic which the oth
ers could not care for.
The city of Antioch was ' for the
time a most wonderful city, having
a wall surrounding It. which was in
places as much as sixty feet in height
and was wide enough for two char
iots with their horses to drive abreast,
this for the defense of the city
against the enemies of the outside
world.
They Go to Cyprus
The island of Cyprus was at its
nearest point :-ome seventy miles
from Antioch. and was one hundred
and ten mile3 long from east to west
and varied from thirty to sixty miles
in width. Many of the people of
Cyprus were members of the Antioch
church and it might have been thru
their efforts that the two missionar
ies wcr! sent there first, but be that
as it may. they did good work, and as
the text tells, they went from Saia
mis, which is the town at the east
ern portion of Cyprus, through the
island its entire length, preaching
that. Jesus i3 the Christ, the Son of
God.
Paul Delivers Great Sermon
After going through the island of
Cyprus, the two missionaries go to
Perga in Paniphilia, and from thence
over the mountain passes to Antioch.
in Pisidia, which is on the table land
of the main land, where they tarried
for a time and it wtis here- they
attended services in a Jewish syna
goti3 on the Sabtath clay, and after
there had been a reading of the law,
the invitation was given to Saul and
Barnabas to speak if they had any
thing to say, and thus there was
given the first evangelical discourse
in the new- place.
Paul stood up and beckoning with,
his hand for their attention, said:
"Ye men of Israel and all ye that fear
God, hearken to what I have to say:
The God of this people, of Israel,
chose our fathers and exalted them
when they dwelt among strangers in
Egypt, and brought them out with a
strong arm and for forty years suf
fered their bad behavior in the
wilderness and when he had destroy
ed seven nations in the land of Can
naan, divided the land by lot to them.
Then he gave the people judges to
rule over them. The people were not
satisfied with this and they were then
given a king when they asked for one.
One of these was David, and from
his seed through the flesh was the
Savior, Jesus Christ raised up, which
was the very Son of God. Because
he preached and taught the truth,
the people crucified him, nailing him
to a cross and after he was taken
clown and burled, God raised him up
on the third day. He was seen many
days and later on the fortieth day
ascended into heaven and sitteth at
the right hand of the Father, and
and unto you we preach this one who
gave his life that all might live is
your savior as well as the savior of
all the world."
Following this, the Gentiles came
and asked that Paul and Sarnabas
untjht preach unto tlitiu the following
Sabbath.
V
Excellent Program Friday!
Remember, this is FRIDAY, not Saturday, and the pro
gram will be an address by the Rev. R. R. Brown, of
Omaha. Come, hear a good discourse. Rev. Brown

entertainment, FRIDAY NIGHT, July 27, at 8 O'CIock

CHURCH LAWN
Murray Community Club
All Hear the Word of God
Now, on the next Sabbath, all the
city came together to hear the word
of God, and as these two missionaries
preached and all showed much inter
est in their utterances, the Jews
were filled with jealousy and contra
dicted the things which Paul had
spoken and blasphemed.
Then did Paul and Barnabas speak
out boldly, saying: "It was necessary
that the word of God should first be
spoken to you, but seeing that you
thrust it from you and deem your
selves unworthy of eternal life, lo,
we will turn to the Gentiles. For
so the Lord has commanded us." In
the saying, "I have set thee a light
of the Gentiles and thou shouldst be
for salvation unto the uttermost parts
of the earth" Paul invited the Gen
tiles especially to become followers of
the new religion, and when the Gen
tiles heard this they were glad and
glorified the word of God, and as
many as were ordained to eternal
life believed. And the word of God
was spread throughout all the re
gion. Driven from Antioch
Paul hr.d been a very severe perse
cutor of the church in the years gone
by and now he was to receive some
of the treatment which he had ex
tended to others, and so severe was
the opposition by the Jews, among
whom were also some of - the .chief
women, that they were literally
driven from the city, and walked to
the next town, Iconium. where they
a!so organized a church, but of th;s
v v will dwell further in the ccmirrg
lesson for a week from Sunday.

Res Young, Auct,
HOLD FINE SERVICE
From Monday's Dally
In spite cf the hot weather, St.
Paul's church was filled to the last
seat three times yesterday. In Sunday
school over ninety-nine per cent of
the membership was reached. A num
ber of visitors attended.
In the morning servn-e Rev. O. (I.
Wichmann had for his text: Gen.
2S: 10-17. God finds his men and
nothing prevents him from selecting
them for his special purposes. Abra
ham was an old man, but God select
ed him and put him aside to be the
father of all faithful. Jacob was a
young man a man fleeing because of
his own and because of his mother's
sin, but God took hold of him. Abra
ham was rich and had his faults, but
God made use of him. Even old men
hiusl come if God calls. Neither the
ri.lies of this old patriarch, who
ruled almost absolutely over his tribe
nor the poverty of a Lazarus bin?
dered God's hand.
Neither David's sin nor St. PetcrY,
denial kept them away from God, frr
in Christ there is forgiveness. God is
a personal God; he has a personal il lation
to you and me.
i Christ fed the thousands but. he al
ho became the friend of many individ
uals in Tsrae!and among the Gcntib
lW-oifl relations are the icr.tents of
r.u'iiy hymns: "Wh;t a Frind Wo
Have m Jesus," "Nearer My God to
iThce" 'the hymn that was Inspired
'by the text), "Take My Life and Let
It be Cr nsef r:i ted. Lor;!, to Thee."
In the c-.-piiin'v there v.:ri a pr
grani that v. as ably directed by Gre
' hen P cgcr. It was also well nt
