cerer wv. 6-l2).
When Barnabas and Saul by invita-
ton were telling Sergius paulus of the
Word Of God Elymas maliciously
sought to turn his mind from the faith.
This Is the first obstacle they encOun-
tered. This Opposer Is the same one
who came to Adam In Eden and to
Jesus in the wilderness. He is the
enemy of God and man. He now seeks
to bar the gospel rs 1t enters upon its
career OF the conversion of the hea-
then. Saul denounced him In the most
scathing terms, calling nm the child or
the devil. full of guile and villainy, and
pronounced MN the enemy or all right
eousness, accusing MIN OF pervertins
the right ways of the Lard.
Happily, the deputy needed Snufs
teaching anu believed the gospel. II
was in this connection that Sauls
name was changed to raul.
