opponents and long time" they kept up their

well SITS. Paul and Barnabas sustained each
other We want mutual help.

their lives in jeopardy. seek refuge by es-
cape to safe places. fVs. 3, g..
a. Preachers may expect opposition and divi-
sions and threatenings but, with Gods help,
they can be bold, safe. and successful.
5. Be glad we have fallen upon more oppor-
tune times-that we are citizens of land
where they who preach the Gospel are pro-
tected from harm
