Sunday' School Lesson LESSON III PAUL ESTABLISHES CHURCHES Printed Text, Acts 14:1-7, 16-23 Golden Text — "As a wise master- biulder 1 laid a foundation; and another buildeth thereon." 1 Cor. 3:10 The Lesson In Its Setting Time — We cannot ascertain de- finitely how long Paul remained in each of these cities, but we are probably justified in placing the time for these events in A.D. 48 and 49. Place — Principally in the cities of Iconium, Lystra and Derbe, in Asia Minor, and Antioch in Syria. 1. And it came to pass in Icon- ium that they entered together in- to the synagogue of the Jews. And so spake. The conversion of a very great multitude of Jews and Greeks at this time was due to the manner in which the apostle had spoken. That a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believ- ed. Difficulties in !conium 2. But the Jews that were disob- edient stirred up the souls of the Gentiles, and made them evil af- fected against the brethren. One would have thought Luke would say, "the Jews who did not be- lieve." What he means by the word "disobedient" is that they disobeyed God in not receiving, his message. 3: Long time lei`efpre they tar- ried there. The reason'for the long tarrying was not the success of the work, but its difficulties. Speaking boldly in the Lord. Who bare wit- ness itness unto the word of his grace. These men went into new cities with no new message, but with the same message, adapting their me- thod of presentation, but never changing the truth. Granting the sign because it signified, or indi- their hands. A miracle was a won- der because it caused wonderment on the part of the people; it was a sign because it siginified, or indi- cated that God's power was resting upon these men. 4. But the multitude of the city was divided; and part held with the Jews, and part with the Ap- ostles. 5. And when there was made an onset both of the Gentiles and of the Jews with their rulers, to treat them shamefully and to stone them.. Stoning was the Jewish mode of punishment for blasphemy and such these Jews would repre- sent the teaching of the apostles to be. 6. They became aware of it, and fled into the cities of Lyeonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the region round about: 7. and there they bad preached the gospel. But simply to state the facts and leave the prin- ciple to shine through them; and here it shines clearly through them for he made the limit of Roman territory the limit of his work, and. turned back when he came to Ly- stra. Why do we read that the apos- tles fled from Iconium? Would it not have been far more courage- ous to have stayed there and suf- fered death? Sometimes it is need- ful to fling away your life for Jesus; but if it can be preserved without shirking cluty, it is better to flee than die. A voluutary mar- tyr is a suicide, Pauli Stoned 19. But there came Jews thither from Antioch and Iconium; and having persudaded the multitudes they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead, 20. 13lst as the disciples stood all Mild about him, he robe" up, and entered into the city: and on the morrow he went forth with Barna- bas to Derbe. 21. -.. And when they ]lad preached the gospel to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to 'tconiurn, and to Antioch. The apostles went back over the ground which they had traveled before, that they might provide for the spread of the seed of the word which they had imperiled themselves so greatly to sow. They went back to the storm and the stones. That is what mis- sionaries have been doing from the beginning. They are doing it to- day in China. 22. Confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to con- tinue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God. Paul said to these men as he went back, 'Do not look at the seen things in Lys- tra, Iconium and Antioch, continue in the' faith.' This is the great word that ever needs to be uttered for the establishment of Christian life. He exhorted them to patience in tribulation, because that was the way of victory. Elders In Every Church 23. And when they had appoint- ed for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed. The dis- ciples wore gathered together into a church or community having a oommon life, ruled by laws, govern- ed by disciples. The rulers in these little communities were called eld- ers and bishops. At the head of each Christian community there was a college of elders who were responsible for the teaching and the discipline of the community. These elders were -solemnly set ap- art for the office by prayer, fasting, laying on of hands, and then fol- lowed the commendation to the Lord, the special service of prayer and exhortation which accompan- ied every peculiarly solemn act in the apostolic church." 28. And thence they sailed to An- tioch, ntioch, from whence they had been committed to the grace .of God for the work which they had fulfilled. From' these cities Paul and Barna; has worked their way' down to the coast, and then from Attalla took ship to Seleu.cia, on the Syrian coast, whence they went on, to Antioch, from which they had de- parted at the beginning of this great missionary journey. 27. And when they were come, and had gathered the church toge- ther, they rehearsed all things that God had •done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith unto the Gentiles. Say Polar Bears Are Left -Handed And Superstitious, Too, Accord' ing To Member of Arctic Expedition Polar bears are left-handed and superstitious, if the views of David Haig -Thomas and his Eskimo guides are correct. Haig -Thomas, Cambridge rowing Blue and member of the 1937.28 ,Ellesmere Island expedition, said his observations of polar bears showed they always used their left paws in preference • to their right, Won't Break Seal's Skull His Eskimo friends, he said, told him polar bears would never break a seal's skull if it could be avoid- ed. Their hesitation to break a skull, in Eskimo opinion, was a sign they agreed with the Eskimo belief that if a hunter breaks an animal's skull his spirit will be re- leased and will not permit him to hunt successfully thereafter. The BOOK t�ELF #3y ELIZABETH EEDY "BEWARE OF PITY" BY Stefan Zweig This, the first long novel by the famous author of "Marie Antoin- ette," is a psychological study, profoundly moving, of a beautiful. crippled Austrian girl who falls in love with e young cavalry of- ficer: The young man's pity caus- es him to form a close friendship with the girl which culminates in a crisis of great intensity. Tragedy of the starkest kind brings this dramatic story to a close. The two young people be- come engaged but a misunder- standing drives the sensitive and impetuous girl to commit suicide, and there is an end both of pity and of love. The lesson of Mr. Zweig's tale is tliat there are two kinds of pity —the selfless kind that heals and the selfish kind that wounds.
