Paul's earliest meetings at Philippi
were the little conferences for
prayer by the riverside where few
godly women gathered on the Jew
ish Sabbath. Apparently, there were
not enough persons to form a syn
agogue. Small and Insignificant as
this gathering was. II was the one

IL tco wise TO despise the day OF
small things. We have seen a little
conference OF business men In New

sionary movement; and confer

enterprise of missions. The CONVEX
zion of Lydia at Philippi stood for
great deal.
In this day of sex consciousness
OF women II Is well to recall that
the first convert to Christianity In
Europe was Lydia. AS DR.. Peloubet
says. christianity has made women
honored everywhere, and they In
turn have honored Christianity
The women OF Europe and America
have come to All the position OF
greatest faithfulness and efficiency
In the Christian church. Without
them IL would be impossible to con-
duct the Christian activities OF to-
day. The entire modern movement
of Christian womanhood may be i'm

at Philippi. where the Apostle Paul
preached his Arst European sermon.
The arrival OF Paul at Philippi
launched new force in the life OF
Europe, alongside Of which all the
armies that have landed seem

rays over the whole OF the known
