My Friends;
We shall find in the study OF our les
son for Sunday that Paul branches out
as a missionary and that the first mis-
sionary work of the Christian church
begins in earnest. We shall learn how
the church at Antioch, under the di-
rcction of the Holy Spirit set apart Bar
nabas and Paul for the work of carry
ing the gospel to the uncvangeliZed re-
gion8 And the Importance of this event
nv friends, which occurred about A. d.
As, cannot be ovcrcstimated. 1t mark
ed not only the beginning of mission
ary work through which in the first
three centuries the Roman empire be-
came Christianizcd, but it was the pro-
totype of modern missionary enter
prise, which is the greatest work OF
the church at the present time.
On this great missionary expedition
we shall find that Barnabas and Paul
touched many points in Cyprus from
Salamis on the east to PaphOs on inc
west. In south central Asia Miner,
from Pcrga to the Pisidian Antioch, di-
rcctly north Of it.
Let us read of Paul in Cyprus ana
Antioch of Pisidia as found in Acts
13:1-12:
Now there were in the church that
was at Antioch certain prophets ana
teachers: as Barnabas, and Simeon
that was called Niger, and Lucius oil
Cvrenc. and Manaen, which had been
brought up with Herod the tetrarch'
and Saul.
AS they ministercd to the Lord, and
tasted the Holy Ghost said, Separate
me Barnabas and Saul for the work
whereunto | have called them.
And when they had tasted ana
prayed. and laid their hands on theni'
they sent them away.
a So they being sent forth by the
Holy Ghost departed unto Seluyla; ana
from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
And when they were at Salamis,
+bo,, nroechnd tbe word of God in the
synagogues of the Jews: and they had
also John TO their minister.
