was only dream; there was no real
man of Macedonia pleading for the
presence Of this missionary OF whom
Macedonia had never heard. AS In
most mission fields today the cal
was of need and not of desire.
When Paul entered the port OF
Neapolis he proceeded at once tc
the great city which bore the name
of Philip of Macedon, whose great
er son, Alexander, had sighed fol-
more worlds to conquer, and died ir
dissipation at Babylon.
Paul and Silas found a little
company of women gathered fol
prayer at the river bank. There wa!
no man of Macedonia present.
Lydia was business woman
After hearing Paups message, she
promptly accepted it, and was bap.
tized, with her household, and be-
came fellow worker with the
apostle.
Lydia,s home was Paul's refuge
and comfort when opposition arose
and he was mobbed and jailed, ane
delivered by an angel. Thus oc'
CURED the great story of the con.
version of the Philippian jailer.
Sometimes gospel results are slow
sometimes they are immediate, a.
in the Philippian story. But they
are always greater than can bt
foreseen. That is why we look fol
kingdom consequences to emerge
from the worlds present confusion
