| For ten days after the asespsisal
lof Jesus the Apostles ana th6r
fellow disciples waited in-~Jeru-
salem as the Lord had told them
Then the Holy Spirit eame,i Peter
irreached and three, thousand CON
verts were, won. The, church at
Jerusalem, ~ shepherded by the
| iapostles, and richly successful IN
Its Blessed work, was, nevertheless
1.-THE target Of repeated perseep-
ton. It" internal work was also
alternate shade and sunshine, -
/ the first shown by the Judgment
upon AnaniaS' and Sapphire, and
the second, BY appointment Of the
seven. deacoris and the consequent
prosperity of the church. -. u ',-,
/. The persecution at. Jerusalem,
which eliminated III the martyr
dom of Stephen, scattered the
church membership into the re-
gion round about. Philip, the
Evangelist penetrated ne SalnaFia
and the south Saul, the 'Sanhe-
,drist. became Paul the preacher,
the opening leaves of his. record
recounting his conversion, exper-
fences in Arabia, Damascus, and
Jerusalem, and settlement in
CiGcia: Peter visited the neigh,
boring cities of LYDIA, Joppa, and
Caesarea. performing miracles and
preaching the Word.
The church at Antioch in Syria,
already founded and flOurishing,
grew rapidly under the joint min
istry of Barnabas and Paul and
their co-workers. To relieve the
Judean brotherhood during the
fofetold famine, a collection was
taken at Antioch and forwarded
by Barnabas and Paul who brought
back from Jerusalem the news OF
the martyrdom of James, the I'M
prisonment of Peter, and the
death of Herod Agrippa l.
From the great missionary
church at Antioch in Syria went
forth Barnabas and Paul with
John Mark on their first tour to
the island of Cyprus and to sew
eral cities in Asia Minor. After
returning to Antioch, they went
up to Jerusalem and called coun-
ell there which settled the policy
that Gentiles could become Chris
tians without first becoming Jews.
The second missionary Journey of
Paul extended from Syrian Ant
ioch as a base; westward through
Asia Minor to Troas the eXtrem-
ity of the continent.
