By Rev. H. T. Stevenson.

Paul, after his conflict with Elymas,
whom he unmasked "a deceiver IN
league with Satan became the proIni-
nenr personality in the missionary work
of the early church. The change of name
from Saul to Paul was probably due to
the display of power by the apostle in his
encounter with the magician. for he re-
veaIed in that contest attachments that
called for a new name in accordance WIFI
the custom of the orient
Some have suggested that the change IN
leadership was the reason for the deser-
ton of John Mark. who, overcome win
longings for his home and mother, ieit
Paul and Barnabas. He deserted the mis-
sionary party Just as they faced Inc
dangers of trip over the mountains
Faint-hearted and incompetent, Mark re-
turned TO Jerusalem, much to the disgust
of Paul who later refused 10 grant Jonn
Marks request TO allow him again 10 JON
his party. Paul parted company with
rnabas because the latter wished to
attach John Mark once more 10 the ms
sion band. IL is needless 10 point out that
Paul changed his mind and later wei
coined the writer of the second gospti 10

Passing through the perils of rivers
and robbers that one was apt to meet
during the journeys through the noun
famous regions through Wh!ch the
apostles passed upon their trip from
Perga TO Antioch of Pisidia, where the
destinies of the civilized world were
TO be determined, the two travel-worn
preachers of the new faith hnaily pre-
scented the mselves in Antioch or
Pisidia with the worshipers at the
syna gogue to worship Jehovah. In
following the example of their risen
Lord whose custom was to observe the
requirements of the Sabbath worship
by faithful attendance upon the syna-
gogue service Paul and Barnabas
showed that, in spite of the fact that
the church at Antioch had. under
the direction of the Holy Spirit, set
them apart for missionary work. and
was composed OF gentiles, Christianity
was not antagonistic TO the Jewish
faith All that the church of Jesus
possesses today has come from the
race that has given to the world its
three great reitgions-Judaism Mo-
hsrnynedanism and Christianity. In
fact. the followers OF Jesus owe all
that they boast of today to the Jewish
people. as Paul showed in his first
recorded sermon, delivered upon the
Invitation OF the rulers of the Antioch
synagogue the first Sabbath that the
two missionaries of the cross united in
worship with them in the synagogue.

who repented of his sin and from whose
seed sprang Christ Jesus.
He appealed to them to accept Jesus
as their Lord and Deliverer by pointing
to the testimony of John the Baptist 10
the Christ who was rejected In accord
ance with prophecy. He proved the real
ity of the Lords resurrection by the tes-
timony of the eyewitnesses and his appeal
to the prophecy of David. citing the three
promises chosen from the great messages
of the Psalms that had been fulfilled in
Christ Jesus.
In his conclusion he appealed to them
by the encouraging promise of the for
Jesus. who would also be the means of
their justification
Forgiveness relates to the past. but
the present and the future ever remain.
Gods attitude toward all men is re-
vealed by His forgiveness of the per-
sonal wrong done to Him which was
made possible by the priesthood OF
Christ and the confession of sin by the
transgressor. whose faith and accept
ance of Jesus Christ as Savior and
Lord are essential to His justification.
for by Him all that believe are justi-
fed from all things from which ye
could not be justified by the law of
Moses" This new message brought
him many requests to repeat his dis
course. which, when preached again the
following Sabbath. changed his whole
career and the destiny of civilization,
because il resulted in the carrying of
the gospel to the cities of Europe. when
He turned to the Gentiles.
