day morning they appeared before
Justice Good and he tied them up
good and fast as far as the legal
formula goes. The young man then
went to the st. Francois County Bank
and presented a check drawn on the
Flat River Bank for $40. Cashier
Roberts had known Hamilton at Flat
River and supposed he had been saw
ing up for this special occasion, SO
cashed the check. After the young
man had gone Mr.. Roberts thought
that there might be a flaw in his sup
position, and 'phoned over to the Flat
River Bank to make sure. The ans
wer came back "No money"
Then Mr.. Roberts got busy. He
followed the bridal couple to DeLas-
sus. Young Hamilton had purchased
tickets for himself and bride to st.
Louis, and they were anxiously wait
ing for the train. Mr.. Roberts gently
reminded the young groom that he
must have been mistaken in the name
of the bank on which he drew his
check, and that it would be more
pleasant for all concerned if he re-
turned the money. This was an ugly
snag for his frail craft to strike ere it
was fairly launched on the matri-
monial sea, disslpating all his antici-
pations of a happy honeymoon in the
big metropolis as fades a mirage on
the desert. In order to satisfy the
apsterity Of the exacting banking
house he had to return the money, 80
easily acquired, and to cash in the
transportation tickets of himself and
bride to make up the full amount.
The check cashed by the Klein Grocer
Co., is still held by them.
Out of money and with a dainty
young bride on his hands there was
nothing left for the saddened groom
to do but to return to Flat River with
his bride, which he did, saying that he
would Ego to work" Hamilton is
only % years of age and his bride is a
pretty, sweet-faced girl of IS. 1t is too
bad that he should have made such a
grievous mistake in taking upon him
self SO important responsibility as the
marriage relation. If nothing worse
comes of it and the law is permitted
to wink at this little breach ''against
the peace and dignity of the State''-
which he tt asst it may, for like all the
world we love a lover-it is hoped
this experience will make of him a bet
ter and wiser man, that he will get
down to work like good fellow, earn
an honest and plentiful living for him

The years labor at Antioch resulted
in more than the addition of new Or

ligion of Jesus 1t transferred the CEN
ter of influence from Jerusalem to An
tioch. and 1T enlarged the scope and
sphere Of the apostolic labors from
Judea to the Roman empire. 1t made
the religion of Christ one of the worlds 8
great religions. While the influence
produced by this new order Of affairs
tions between the Antioch Church and
the Jerusalem disciples quite delicate.
yet the gentle Christians Of Antioch
manifested a spirit of benevolence to-
ward poor brethren in Jerusalem,
whose sufferings had been increased
by famine as they have during the past
two years by the horrors of war.
The church in Antioch did not send
its contribution through the syna-
gogue of Antioch. but delegated Barna-
bas and Saul to carry the same to the
brethren in their need. In this action
is recorded the first historical evidence
that the church and synagogue had
parted company. that to be follower
of the NaZarene cut off a son of Abra-
ham from the charities of his own peo-
pie, and that henceforth the spiritual
tie of Christians was to become strong
all mankind in the fellowship of Chris
tian love and service" The force of
the new center was seen in their send
ing out the first foreign missionaries.

By Rev. H. T. Stevenson.

Prosecutions played a prominent part
in the extension. evangelization and ex-
pansion of the early Christian Church
Following the death of Stephen. several
distinct lines of development resulted
from the efforts of the heavy hand Of
persecution that sought to destroy the
spiritual organization that was founded
upon the resurrection of their Lord.
Bitter opposition proved favorable for
the growth of Christianity, for the fires
of persecution scattered the disciples
everywhere, and as a result of their
preaching the word the gospel was car
ried throughout the Roman empire.
Any one who studies the book OF the
Acts soon comes to the conclusion that
the process of preaching the gospel
and planting the church in the new
environment was under the faultless di-
rection of the Holy Spirit, who made
the wrath of men TO aid in establishing
the church of Christ among the ma
tions of the earth.
When Antioch. one of the three lead
ing cities of the Roman empire. was
opened to the gospel it was the
courageous work of converts from Cy-
prus and Cyrene. who took advantage
of business trips to the commercial and
word to Greek gentiles. Others in their
journeys had limited their messages to
the Jews, but these Hellenistic Chris
tians commenced a new development
when they told the gentiles about the
Lord Jesus In breaking down the
walls of separation they had followed
the principles championed by Stephen
and that Peter had accepted after his
vision at Joppa. Whether they knew
OF the new developments in Palestine
or not the historian does not state in
his account of how they opened up the
new religious center that would become
the mother missionary church. the pio-
neer of foreign missionary centers and
the promoter Of Christian ciilization.
Following the planting of this new
base of operations, that received the
Divine Endorsement. the Jerusalem au-
thorities sent Barnabas, "a good man.
full of the Holy Ghost and Of faith. -
whose inestigations and approval OF
the new work gave the gentle church
ecclesiastical recognition and whose
advice and activities promoted the de-
velopment of the new interest

Growth Of Antioch Church.

Barnabas was the man of the hour
and peculiarly fitted by birth and
training as well as character to guide
Christian life The apostles recognized
his pre-eminent fitness when they sent
him to Antioch. and he proved he was
the right man 20 lead them by his ad-
Woe, when he eaw that they were pos
eessers Of the powers of the new life
In Christ Jesus. The evidence of ones
spiritual life Is quickly seen and OBJ
served by those who have been born
again. The future of the Antioch
church depended upon their start. so
the Son of Consolation encoura ge ed
them TO put their whole heart and life
into the work of Christ and the church
Under his leadership the members in
their zeal for the advancement OF
Christianity were used OF the Holy
Spirit in adding many to the Lord The
rapid development Of the church called
for more assistance. and Saul of Tar
sus was sought 10 undertake a CO.
pastorate with Barnadas. and thus the
door was providentislly opened for
him to become Paul. the apostle to the
gentiles. Summoned by Barnabas to his
assistance Saul entered upon the work
that within the next thirty years would
make him one of the greatest powers
and forces In the development Of Chris
tianiry and OF civilization. The prepa-
ration during the silent years of Saufs
Christian life in his old home city soon
proved the wisdom of the choice for
during the following year there was a
continuous ingathering, because the
people put in practice the precepts and
principles taught them by Barna bas
and Saul
u was during this year that the body
OF disciples were first called Chris
tlans. Much discussion has been in
duieed IN as to the origin OF this hon
ored and holy name. The unique body
OF believers required a new name and
