First Foreign Missionaries.

The world policy of Jesus calls for
the conquest of the nations of the
earth by the peaceful preaching Of the
gospel TO every creature. None can
claim to possess the spirit Of Christ
if there is not desire on their part to
make disciples for Christ. for wher-
ever the Christian life exists there is
the desire to propagate the gospel of
the Lord Jesus. The Antioch church
revealed the spirit of the Christ when,
under the guidance Of the Holy Spirit
teachers. who were associated with
Barnabas and Saul in the work of the
gospel ministry, they decided to conse-
crate Barnabas and Saul as the first
missionaries to be set apart by the
Church of Christ to carry out the great
commission Of the Lord.
Being sent forth by the Holy
Ghost" the missionaries started out
upon their first missionary journey:
sailing from Selucia, the seaport Of
Antioch, TO the Island of Cyprus, about
100 miles southwest from the coast.
There is no record of any success at
tending their first missionary efforts in
the synagogue of Salamis, but the re-
suits obtained at Paphos, which they
reached by going overland across to
the other side of the island, attracted
the attention Of Sergius-Pa the
Roman proconsul who was a typical
II
loyal Roman history records show
that he was thoughtful and studi-
Gus person, who left books behind him
and was considered an authority upon
astronomical subjects 1t is not often
that the rulers Of any government take
enough interest in the word of God to
request the preacher to visit them SO
as to unfold the gospel to them, but
the ruler Of this Roman province was
won for Christ by the teaching of the
Lord"
The opposition OF Elymas. the apos-
tate Jew. whose position and paw were
threatened by the principles preached
BY the apostles, and who tried to turn
the deputy away from the faith failed.
He was unable To persuade Sergius-
Pauius. who saw that the motives Of
his magician were purely selfish
Opposition is always the evidence that
effective work is being done Saul.
henceforth called Paul, appears now for
the first time in the leading part of the
missionary party. Under the sudden and
overwhelming impulse of the HOLY
Spirit he tears the mask of hypocrisy
away from Elymas and pronounced the
judgment of God upon the false prophet
For limited season he would have the
privilege. while mist covered his sight
10 note both his sinfulness and the folly
Of trying to oppose the work of Christ
for any selfish or sinful reason The ef-
feet of the miracle and the conversion
Of the Roman ruler were without doubt
helpful III leading others to accept
Christ.
The work Of missionary endeayor
born of the Holy Spirit in the Church
Of Antioch, is still the greatest work
| before the Church of Christ today.
America has the opportunity that
Antioch had in the beginning All of
Europe turns TO us for relief in their
suffering and poverty caused by the
| war, while in the other third Of the
world there exists n mass movement
favoring the acceptance of the gospel
| that opens another enectual door Shall
the churches Of Christ heed the Mas
| ter'e call to Go ye. therefore. and make
disciples of all nations?

REPUBLICANS ARE PLATED.

New York.-Leaders at Republican national headquarters were elated over the result of the election Tn Maine, while those at Democratic headquarters declined to admit that the Republicans had scored victory in carrying the state. Secretary Rey- holds of the Republican National Com mittee, said:
 "The result shows an absolutely re- united party"
 Chairman Mccormick of the Demo cratic Committee said.
 The result indicates a sweeping Democratic victory in November. I have never predicted that we would win Tn Maine, because I realized that to carry such rockribbed RepubIi- can stronghold in a presidential year would be practically impossible.
 We have materially reduced the usually large Republican majority and that insures the election of President Wilson by an impressive majority.
