A Jew: who was a sorcerer and false prophet attempted to oppose the mis- sionaries at Paphos, where the Rom- an proconsul, Sergius Paulus, had be- come interested in the Gospel. Patti dealt uncompromisingly with him. He did not; as some tell us we should in missionary work today, commend his false religion and try to find points of agreement, He said: "Thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all right- eousness, wilt thou not' cease to -per-,vert the right ways of the Lord?" This false prophet was spiritually blind; Paul called down upon him God's judgment in the way of physi.- :al blindness "for a season;" and the proconsul, seeing the miracle, became a believer in the Lord Jesus.

And He said unto thein, go ye into of the Gospel by some, persecution all the world and preach the gospel to by others. It has been said that, every creature,—Mark 16:15. i wherever Paul went, he had either a i revival or a riot, We often see the statement that if Gentiles, as well as Jews, attended only all Christinas would live true to the synagogue services, and some of the teachings ,of Christ, and show both Jews and Gentiles believed, forth the spirit of Christ in their daily while some of both classes rejected lives, the world would soon be • con- verted. It is a plausible statement,~: and glibly uttered --especially by those who are ,not Christians. It does not happen to be true. It is indeed, sadly true that the in- consistencies and failures of Christ- ians are a barrier to the spread of the Gospel. But they are not the chief barrier. The chief barrier is the enmity of the human heart against God and Christ—and this natural en- mity is quick;1to seize upon any ex- cuse for turning against God.
