Bible School Sunday, July 6th - ; ; - f The Gospel is Taken into Europe Acts 16:6-15. Beginning this third quarter our aim' is: Through the study of the Acts, the Epistles and the Revela tion, to learn the history of the early church and the secret of its power in order the better to co-operate with God in building an effec tive church today. The scripture as signed for study (Acts 15:18-21) seems a rather large portion for con sideration in 30 minutes. No teacher can do justice to such a vast amount of material. The printed text is suf ficient and will occupy fully the time allotted for study. In this second missionary tour we find Paul with two different associates, namely Silas and Timothy. Why not Barnabas, who had introduced him to the church at Antioch and to the church at Jerusalem and done such valiant work during the first missionary tour? The reason was John Mark (See Acts 15:36-41). In this case wc also see the over-ruling hand of God instead of one Gospel team, there are now two which added to the further spread of the gospel. Barnabas and John Mark, his nephew, went to the home island of Cyprus, of Barnabas, and we hear no more of him; but Paul and Silas mapped out their tour and started, but were forbidden by the Holy Spirit, and at Troas they got their orders where to go. In prayer and meditation during a night the Lord visited him (that is the time when God can speak to the soul) and in that vision appeared a man from Europe with the call: "Come over in to Macedonia and help us!" That cry for help Paul could not let go unheeded, his mind was made up that this call came from God and mtist be obeyed, and he was ready to go. So Paul, Silas and Timothy land in Philippi. It was the greatest day in the history of the church, when the missionaries set foot on the con tinent of Europe; there was a field white for the harvest. The first convert in Europe was a woman. This brings to our mind the fact what a great part woman has played in the kingdom of God. If the woman is blamed for the fall of man, she has more than done her share in his redemption. Who does not recall the heroic part that wom en like Rahab, Ruth, Jochebed, Han na, Mary, the mother of Jesus, Mary ffffe jmyafofe strtWTy to adfancfc. A crew of surveyors from Texas was working east of Murray last Sat urday surveying a line for another new pipe' line, through which gaso line and other oil products are to be pumped to Omaha from the south ern oil fields. William Spangler, who has been employed by the Norfolk Packing company at Plattsmouth, driving to and from the county seat, has secured living quarters in the Anheuser Busch building at Plattsmouth and he and his wife are now living there Mr. and Mrs. James C. Comstock of Plattsmouth were guests Sunday at the home of Mrs. Margaret Bren del. The two sons of Mr. and Mrs Comstock were schoolmates at the University of Nebraska of Dr. Richard Brendel, when all made their home with Mrs. BTendel there. Mr. and Mrs. I. M. Davis, who are best known as "Meek" and "Hattie were here from their home in Lin coin early Monday morning, calling on old friends and acquaintances and looking after business matters con nected with property interests in this vicinity. They called on John A. Davis and also visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Davis. The demand for canned foods as national defense aid is spurring great many housewives to put up all possible. The Pleasant Hill club west of Murray, met last Wednesday and made a real session of it, can ning a large amount of vegetables George Nickles and wife were in Omaha Sunday for a visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chester Shrader, who have just returned from a trip to the west coast given them by th company for whom Chester works, Lesson Study! .By L. Neitzel,5 MWdo'ck, 'Neb; Magdalene and others, their contri bution must not be overlooked. Here it is Lydia, the first fruit of the Gospel. A Gentile breaks Into the king dom and the church has a foothold in Europe. We should pause and con sider how God co-operates with his messengers. Opposition develops, as in every good cause. The devil will try to hinder! The two preachers, after their vic tory at river side park, are roughly treated, terribly beaten and jailed, without trial: when the jail door closed upon the preachers that night hell had a great celebration, but be fore the night was over, heaven cele brated a great victory. It is well to stop and consider how God can bring about the frustration of the evil de signs of the devil. When Jesus was in the sealed tomb, hell was in jubi lation, but an earthquake changed things quickly, the seal was broken, the tomb was opened and Christ came forth the victor. Now look at this picture the the preachers in the inner cell of the prison, feet in stocks, terribly beaten who will laugh last, who will be victor? Access to the throne of grace no prison bars can close prayer is the key that opens the doors. Paul and Silas prayed, not for release from prison, but for a great revival in Philippi, and before the morning dawns a whole household is safe in the kingdom. Here as in Joseph'9 garden it is an earthquake that opens the tomb (prison). What a wonderful God we have! So in suf fering and agonizing prayer and faithful service the church was born in Philippi, so she will continue to grow and only in that way can God co-operate with her. That these conversions .were gen uine, the fruits proved beyond doubt. Lyda threw her house open for the preacher and preaching; the jailor banqueted the preachers all were happy and overjoyed at the outcome. And what a victory Paul had over the officials! Their humiliation must have been quite acute; but it brought respect for the new church. What a glorious beginning' for the kingdom on the new continent! So the church marches on, keeping on the course that God has . marked out for her. All -the opposition of the devil has turned out to her greater progress. Wonderful! Marvelous! Mr. Shrader is a nephew of Mrs. Nickles. They found other guests at the Shrader home including Mr. and Mrs. James D. Kelsey of Shenandoah, Iowa, also Myron Reese and daugh ter Joan of Shenandoah, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Yant of Omaha. Ships Cattle to Market Frank Dill of north of Mynard was a business visitor in Murray Monday, and in conversing with the Journal field man, told of shipping some 54 head of cattle to Omaha during the nast week, when he struck a very fine market, with the price he receiv ed ranging right up near the top for the day. ' He also marketed a number of; head of hogs, which brought equally good prices.
