1. Paul and Barnabas Preaohing at
Iconium (vv. 1-7).
As to their work In Iconium ob-
serve:
1. Their manner of preaching, This,
Is suggested by the little word "so" in
verse 1. They "so" spake that a great
multitude believed. They were true
preachers, Only that which brings con-
viction of sin and induces decision for
Christ can be truly said to be preach-
ing in the biblical souse, The same
is true kg the Sunday school teacher.
Let every Sunday school teacher at all
times have as his supreme ahn to bear
the gospel of Christ so as to induce
decision for Christ.
2. Their attitude toward opposition.
This is suggested by the word' "there-
fore" in verse 3. "Long time therefore
they tarried." The opposition did not
prevent their preaching,. but incited
them to continue preachiug. Christian
workers should learn not to give up
work because of opposition.
3, The Lord ; accompanied their
preaching with miracles (v. 3). Slice
the mositIon was so Elmo, special
help of the Lord was Beetled.
4, The effect of their preaching
(v. 4). The multitude of the city was
divided. Where leen faithfully preach
theigesnel there will be division. ,
I . Attempt to Worship Paul and
Barnabas as Gods (vv. 8-18).

which caused faith to he born in his
heart (Rom. 1 0:17). When Paul per-
ceived that he trusted Christ, he called
with a loud voice that all could hoar
for the mita to stand upright. The cure
was instant, for he leaped up and
walked (v. 10). There was no mag-
netic touch, no treatment, only the
command, and the naturally impossible
became the possible and the real.
2. The method (vv. 11-13). They
called Barnabas Jupiter and Paul Mer-
cury, because he was the chief speaker.
The priest of Jupiter brought oxen
and garlands ready to offer sacrifices
unto those men (v. 11). If they had
only known, in the person of Jesus
Christ God had actually appeared to
men (John 1:14; Phil. 2:7; 8).
3. Their efforts frustrated (vv. 14-
18). This foolish act was happily

Wicked Jews from Antioch and Ico-

up the very people who were wilting
