MEMORY SELECTION
Be We steadfast, unmoveable,
always Astounding in the work
of the Lord, for as much as
We know that your labour is
not in vain in the Lord.-q
Corinthians 1883. The there
fore" of the key verse refers
to all that had been written
in the entire resurrection
chapter q Cor. 15), which re-
vealS the wonderful attributes
which the resurrection body is
to enjoy some day, and that
not all saints will go to heaven
by the way of the under
taker." But that the genera
ton of saints which will be
alive when Christ comes will
go by the way of the upper
taker." Then this mortal will
put on Immortality and the la
bors and sacrifices of the over
Corners will be richly reward
ed. In view of all these hon
Ors, blessings and glories, the
Christian should strive to be
Steadfast, unmovable and a.
bounding in the Lord.

a great asset to him. "And
found a certain Jew named
Aquila, born in Pontus, lately
come from Italy, with his wife
Priscilla; because that Claud-
ius had commanded all Jews
to depart from Rome:) and
came unto them" - The rea-
son for choosing Aquila and
Priscilla to lodge with is given
specifically in the next verse.
"And because he was of the
same craft, he abode with
them, and wrought: for by
their occupation they were
tentmakers" - The more i'm.

Aquila and Priscilla were
Christians, and had been bust.

them.
PAUL breaches IN THE
SYNAGOGUE:
"And he reasoned in the
synagogue every sabbath, and
persuaded the Jews and the
Greeks" - Corinth had many
Jews in it, and the number OF
Jews there was sufficient tc
justify having a synagogue ir
the city. But there were Jews
and Greeks a mixture of Gen
tiles, consisting of Greeks, Ro
mans, and others, that hearc
PauPs Preaching. "And wher
Silas and Timotheous were
come from Macedonia, Pau
was pressed in the spirit, anc
testified to the Jews that Jesus
was Christ" When Pau
was secretly conveyed from
Berea by ship and brought tC
Athens for his safety, he left
Silas and Timothy in Berea
The arrival of these two com
panions to assist him on thi:
new field gave Paul new en-
thusiasm for the work. In 9th
er words, paul was pressed il
the spirit, and testified to the
Jews that Jesus was Christ.
PAUL breaches IN THE
HOUSE OF JESUS:
Sand when they opposed
themselves, and blasphemed
he shook his rainent, and sale

upon your own heads; l an
clean: from henceforth I viii
go unto the Gentiles" - The

that city, and when Paul made
his decision known to the Jew:
of Corinth he meant that he
was diverting his attention
