Paul's Journey from Antioch to Phil-
ipp i-Acts
hil-ippi-Acts 15: 36-16^:15.
Commentary; -L Paul's second tnis-;
eiouary journey begun (vs. 3041). Some
time after their return ;from the Jet usa= •
len:, council Paul proposed to.,Bar'nebes`
that they : again visit the churches which
they had founded in Asia Minor. These
churches need apostolic care and`train-
ing. Barnabae was,. ready to go, but
wished to take with him his nephew,
John Mark, who had left them on their
,first missionary journey. Paul refused,
and the difference of opinion was so
marked that they separated. There is
nothing to bear out the supposition that
they separated in auger. Paul chose
Silas, one of the delegates sent to An-
tioch from the Jerusalem council, and
went north through Asia Minor; while
Barnabas chose John Mark and jour-
" neyed to Cyprus, his former home.

;starting from Antioch Paul first tray-
, eled through Syria., He then entered
;:Clilicia. and came to Derbe and Lystra,
where he had planted churches' on his
first missionary journey. At Lystra he
found Timothy, who joined him and be-
came his life-long companion. Timothy
had been taught the holy scriptures
from his youth, was trained to a r8-
ligious Iife, and was preparedthrough
the providence of God by the tight of
Paul's sufferings to "endure hardness as
a good soldier of Jesus Christ."

from the most accurate and complete figures, it is at present possible
to compile, this is what the electric blast cost the farmers of this continent:
Lightning struck 8,700 farm buildings in Canada and the United States.
Fires, caused by lightning, destroyed property valued at $4,123,000.
Lightning killed 4,457 head of live stock.
Lightning killed 623 human beings, and injured 889, nearly all dwellers
on farms.
Insurance men declare that more than rorty per cent. of all barn
fires are caused by lightning. Barns are peculiarly subject to the
lightning stroke, because they contain hay and straw that constantly give
off moisture by evaporation. The moist exhalations from horses and cattle
also attract the bolt.

V.) --She received and obeyed the truths
of the gospel. "The evidences of Lydia's
conversion are (1) an open heart, (2) an
open mind, (3) an open mouth, (4), an
open hand, (5) an open house. No less
than these are found in every truly
converted heart. By using well the light
she had, Lydia was prepared for great-

of Christian hospitality which was so
commonly practised in the apostolic
church, "The reality of Lydia's conver-
sion was seen in its immediate fruits: 1.
She attended unto the things which were
spoken by Paul. If listless before, if
curious- only, if speculative,- she is
awake now. 2. She was baptized, and
her household. She took upon herself
and upon her home the profession of,
the Christian faith."
