Paul a Prisoner in Rome. Acts
xviii: 11-31.
Golden Text am not ashamed or
the gospel Of Christ; for it Is the
power Of God unto salvation to every
one that believoth. Romans lie.
Verses 11-13-Where are the places
located, which are mentioned in these
verses? (This question must be an
swered in writing by members OF the
ciub.)
How long did they stay at Melita
after their shipwreck on that island?
Which to the average man. is the
hardest thing to do; to wait, or to go
on: to be compelled to rest, or be com.
PEELED to work, to have patience or to
hurry?
Is it as sinful to work when you
ought to rest, as It Is to rest when you
ought to work?
Here are two ships from Alexandria
and bound for Italy, the one Paul
sailed in and the Castor and Pollux"
and both apparently were compelled
to put into Melita: one was wrecked
by so doing. while the other landed
and wintered In safety; was 1t provi-
dence, or chance, or skill, or any
other power. that caused the wreck of
the one ship and the safety Of the
other?
Two young men. Of apparently the
same ability, go into the same kind
of business, under similar circumstan-
ces, one of whom fails and the other
succeeds-how do you account for It?
Verse IA - In Puteoli Paul found
Christian brethren. and tarried with
them seven days-which to-day, an
swering from actual experience. forms
the closest and most practical bond
of union and fellowship, when travel
ling. members Of the same church. or
members of the same fraternal 80
ciety?
Verse Is What relation in life Is
there more fraught with blessings.
and that imparts more courage" than
true Christian fellowship?
Verse 16-Real Christians are found
In all trades and professions, and
among the rich and the poor, and
may be some are in prison; now is 1t
invariably the case that like Paul
here. they get more comfort out OF
their circumstances than do their fell
lows?
Verses 17-22-When we are as badly
treated as the Jews treated Paul, in
his own country. is it either wise or
profitable, or polite, to speak of our
enemies in as strong language as the
facts warrant; or should we out OF
loving hearts mitigate their offence all
we can, as Paul does here?
Christians were in those days much
slandered, and were Everywhere spok-
en- against; are real Christians still
spoken against?
Christianity is now becoming popu-
lar, is that an advantage or disad
vantage?
Should We ever allow ourselves to
speak against, or be prejudiced against
any "sect" or society of which we
have not got accurate or first hand
huOWlcusc:
Verse 23-What points would Paul
be apt to emphasize concerning the
Kingdom of God?"
Verse 24-Would those who believed
Paul's testimony, be the religiously
honest men, and those who disbelieved,
the religiously dishonest men, or was
1t mere matter of evidence and Of the
intellect?
Verses 25-29--f q man lives In sin,
and his moral nature is deadened and
perverted so that he does not recognize
the truth, is he as guilty as a man
who deliberately rejects it?
Is it a law Of God that sin deadens
the conscience and perverts the judg-
ment. hence, can man living in any
kind of sin, trust his judgment on
personal, moral and spiritual ques-
tons?
Verses 30-31-Should every Chris
tian home be used for preaching and
teaching the kingdom of God?
