A 'wheat boat frolm Alex'andtiia [(more 'fortunate than el* tonne in w'hic'h Paul had been slhipeoredeed) Carried him ibo (Italy. It had wintered in ,a pont Of .M'a'lta. He landed' about 140 miles from Rome,—rather a long distance Cram the Port to the `:Cita !but tth'a't. was the hest they .could db at that time. He was met by some Chrisit- ians and rested with them far a week. He needed the resat .For. he was in a condition of spiritual exciitement, It was three years since he had' writ- ten to .Roimie to say he was coming I !Now he was within a few day's' walk df the •city,''Wnonld he be twcilcomed• i IHe had a host of friends in Rome— some of the very best. There Were Jews there --spews Of the DieP'ension; descesrd!anbs of Pomp'ey's , Jewish. slaves; 'Jewish merchants and travel - lens. Tihey had found. a pd'ate in every strata of so'cie'ty. ',Jewish paup- ers were begging on the streets, and Jews were in Ohre very 'hou'seh'old of r0aesar. Someti'm'es they, had been ' the ,baht .of the poe't's satire, sometimes highly respected. ,Sometimes they had been •expelled .fro!m Rome, sometimes elevated .to the coveted h'onor of Ro- men. citizensthip. Us'ttally it depended on the whim 'of a Caesar, or on the changing attitude df a fickle public.— When Paul arrived in''Rome the c'on- ditions for the Jews were just' nee - mai. There were Gentiles there,— from every part ref the Empire .they carne, captive peoples who' were .re- concieed' to Roman control, Through these, Paul believed he could do tntsch to obey Jesus' command "Go . preach , to all nations." And there were 'Christians there. Just who founded .the •Churoh in Rome we may never know. Evident- ly it just grew. Some Romans had been et Jerusalem at that great Pen- tecost -'the birthday of the church. When they returned to Rome the church grew up in their homes,— and spread. It grew so rapidly .dur- ing the reign of Claudius that bhe Christian Jews and non-Christian: Jews were implicated in some relig sous riots. The Jews were all ex- pelled °Priscilla and. Aquila werea- mong those expelled, and met Paul at Corinth). That was eight years ago. B+y the time Pau arrived, the edict of ex'ptilsion was a dead letter, The Gentile part of the church was not distupbed ,by the edict. That part of the church stayed in Rome, and grew. The Jewish and Gentile group's of Christians had never united in one organization. In In fact there were many ail Ohristean— n came a sort o'1, "Blislholp ill bonds" . for 'Christ and .the Church.

We are sorry that we '.have only four of the letters .written during these tw'o.years, Tdie .old church salt Philippi beard that Paull wag in prison, and—just like 'them—they •took up a big collection to help pay, Pauls expenses. They sent one of their me'nilbens (IEpa- plh'rod tus) with the giift and. told hips to ,help Paul—but he :beeerne 'n fact .he mearly died ,and the people If Philippi heard.. So Paul wrote .. his teeter of thanks and sent it to. Ph'tllup- pe with Epaphroditute That letter is Our .greatest 'source of information) concerning Paul's relations to, ' Re- nton 'Christians, . The other ' three letters , were sent+, out together. Ones'i'nsus was a slave 'be- longin'g to Pililem'on, a Christian; of C'olassee. Fie cabbed his Master and ran sway to Rleme.

At the same 'time Paul sent his letter to the Cal - animus, the ctangregation ,where tureen worshipped and a "cineullar letter" to the severall churches in and around''Epthesus.

Several d'etlegsbions went out to meet Paul, and he was glad and Cook courage. He had been nervously depressed,—now he was of good cheer and pressed on to Rome. !Paul had longed to see Rome— never dreaming that he would see it in 'chains.

The church rejoiced, and Paul was welcomed with open arms.. -There was no legal charge against Paul, Yet he was a prisoner sent to 'Rome for thiel.
