terized Paul and his associates: These
are come hither also. Truly this fame
OF the apostles for turning the whole
habitable world right side up, is note
worthy. The charge made by the rabid
Jews against the Christians in general
was that they we're traitors to Cesar.
saying that there is another king, one
Jesus.
This adroit charge troubled the poll
tarche. They could not have failed to
hear that Jesus had been as an alleged
seditionist crucified in Jerusalem. These
magistrates realizsd the advisa bility of
not mourning the enmity of Rome. They
did what seemed to them best under the
circumstances. They demanded Of ia.
son and Of the other Christians pledge
coupled with penalties, that Paul and
his companions should leave the city.
The pledge was given.
Whether Paul would have given such
pledge. or counseled it, may be ques
toned; but when once accepted Paul
was held by it in his honor.
3. The Bereans Hear with Can
dOr,-vs. 1912.
Paul and his two companions immed-
lately and secretly by night left Tnessa-
lonica. They were hurried on the way
to the obscure city of Berea, sixty
miles to the westward. Here they
found Jews and a synagogue. The long
suffering Paul. we observe. still longed
| for his own race brethren. He suent into
the synagogue of the Jeaos.
Blessed forever be the memory of
the BereaD Jews! They aoere more no.

have indeed become renowned in the
ages as the heroes of candor and sweet
reasonableness. They received the aUord
aCith all readiness of mind, examining
the scriptures daily, aohether these things
aUere so. They studied for themselves.
They gave to spiritual things the patient
and thorough investigation they deserve.
They opened wide their inner eyes.
Many of the Jews in Berea believed.
And they were, we may be sure, thor.
ough converts.

GENERAL SURVEY. = When
persecution made it no longer advisable
for Paul to remain in Philippi. he left
Luke there, and with Sias and Timothy
went westward about one hundred miles
to Thessalonica. the capital of the prov
ince of Macedonia. Here he remained
several weeks, perhaps three months,
dwelling with Jason, a Jewish convert.
Here were found many Jewish residents;
their synagogue afforded Paul opportun-
ity to begin the preaching of the Gospel.
The unbelieving Jews became jealous,
and falsely accusing the missionaries of
treason. stirred ups mob against them.
The mob assaulted the house of Jason;
Paul and Silas we're not found. but GER
tain brethren. Jason among them, we're
arrested and brought before the rulers
of the city. The judges took security
(baiD from Jason and the other Chris
tians for the departure from the city Of
the missionaries, and discharged the
Christians who had been brought before
them. By the assistance of the believ.
ers the missionaries were conveyed by
night to Berea, city about sixty miles
westward from Thessalonica. Here they
found an eager hearing for the Gospel,
and for season pursued their work in
peace.
