Acts xiii. documentary by the Rev.
ID. NJ. stearns.
A. "And the next Sabbath day came
almost the whole city together to hear the
Word of God" The apostles had no doubt
spoken to many in private through the
week, and those who had heard the pre-
reding Sabbath had not been quiet about
the wondrous resurrection story, and the
consequent great redemption so fully and
freely proclaimed. 1t became the talk of
the town and an immense congregation
assembled not to hear the wisdom nor the
oratory of the apostles, but to hear the
Word of God.
40. Such manifest working of the Holy
Spirit could not but provoke the adversary
to envy and basphemy. Compare Acts v,

of community are stirred to talk against
the preaching it is an evidence either that
they are all wonderfully in sympathy with
Christ. or that the preaching lacks salt
III Tim. iii, =; Col. iv, @.

acted upon in all apostolic preaching Rom.
