Zurich Herald, 1936-08-27, Page 2By Mair Ma Morgan s Cake as a Desert How often has a perfect dinner or luncheon been almost too much be- cause a luscious cake has been served along with a fruit or cream dessert? The cake in itself -was so good, so - nourishing and such a perfect end- ing to the meal that it would have been quite enough and one could have appreciated its flavour more than mix- ing it with other foods. Chocolate Fudge Cake spells per- fection for the lone dessert. It has all the elements of sweetness, flavour and nourishment and it can be made as decorative as you please. Serve it on a crystal plate or platter, add chop- ped walnuts or chopped white almonds put the fudge icing on in swirles as shown in the illustration and the high light of the meal is ready. Sifted cake flour and unsweetened chocolate are the basis of success for such a cake as this -- and it makes such a moist rich cake that it will be Lovely for several days — only it is so good you may have trouble keeping the family from eating it all at once.

GOLDEN TEXT — And he said unto them. Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole crea- tion. Mark 16:15, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIME. — The church at Antioch was founded in 42 A.D. The mission- ary journey of Paul and Barnabas was in 47-'A.D. PLACE. — Antioch was situated in the northern part of Syria about 20 miles from the seacoast, on Orontes River- Cyprus was an island located in the Mediterranean Sea opposite to and about sixty miles from Syria. Salamis was a seaport located at the eastern end of the island, while Pa- phos was a seaport located at the western extremity of the same island, "They therefore that were scattered abroad upon the tribulation that arose about Stephen." This refers back to the persecution and scattl:-' ing of the Christians from Jerusale: mentioned in Acts 8,4. "Travelled far as Phoenicia". The country imp mediately north of Palestine on the' Mediterranean coast, part of the Ro- man province of Syria, in which were the great cities of Tyre, Sidon, Beirut, and Tripolis. "And Cyrus". An island sixty miles from the Syrian coast, and forty-five miles from the coast of Asia Minor, approximately thirty-five hun- dred square miles in area, about three times the size of the. State of Rhode Island. "And Antioch, speaking the word to none save only to Jews". These missionaries were Jews them- selves, and felt more confidence in confining their efforts to fellow Gen- tiles. "But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene". Cyrene was a city of Libya in northern Africa, west of Egypt. (See Acts 2:10; 13:1). "Who, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Greeks also, preaching the Lord Jesus". Those to whom the Christians preached were Gentiles, who were probably worshipping in the Jewish synagogue in Antioch, though they were not proselytes, i.e., they were not Greek -Jews. "And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number that be- lieved turned unto the Lord". No one person is mentioned in this account of early missionary activity. These men were not sent out under the aus- pices of the Jerusalem church. They went everywhere preaching the Lord Jesus because he was precious to thew, because love for him filled their hearts, because Christ had changed them and given them new life. "Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was tbere, prophets and teachers". Prophets were men inspir- ed by the Holy Spirit with a direct message from God (Acts 2:17; 1 Cor. 12:28; 14: 1-15). They must have been present in most of the apostolic con- gregations (1 Cor. 12:28, Eph. 4:11; Acts 11:27; 15:32), and apparently ranked next to the apostles in au- thority. "Barnabas, and Symeon that was called Niger". Nothing is known of this man except that he was of Jewish origin, as his first name indi- cates. "And Lucius of Cyrene." This is a Latin name, though his birthplace or home may indicate that he was of the Jews who abounded in Cyrene and the other parts of northern Af- rica. "And Manaen the foster -brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. The Herod mentioned here must have been Herod Antipas. It should be especial- ly noticed that the uame of Saul ap- pears,last.He is not given first place, even after his first missionary jour- ney,. by the officers of the church (15:25), Officialism is slow to recog- nize work not done in its own way. "And they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Se- parate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. It may be that the church was now assembled together with the express purpose of talking and praying about the great task of carrying the gospel to the heathen. Barnabas had already been called of the Lord to labor among the Gentiles. "Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away". Barnabas and Saul were not here ordained to be apostles, they were apostles before this. It was, however, a service of solems dedication, in which these men received the blessing of fellow - Christians in the church at Antioch. "So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit". Every work for Christ is a partnership with God. We work together with God (2 Cor. 6:1). A missionary not sent forth by the Holy Spirit -ors doomed to the deepest dis- appointment, and perhaps tragedy. "Went down to Seleucia". The sea- port of Antioch, at the mouth of the Orontes River, mentioned only here in the New Testament. "And from hence they sailed to Cyprus". Probably the missionary apostles were induced to take this route because Cyprus was the birthplace of one of them. 't see .,, FU MANCHU By Sax Rohmer V. "And when they were at Salamis." This was the nearest port of Cyprus for voyagers from Seleucia located at th eastern end of the island, and men- tioned only here in the New Testa- ment. ' They proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they hacl also John as their atten- dant." This is not John the apostle, the author of the fourth Gospel, but John Mark, the author of the second Gospel, the cousin of Barnabas. The word here translated attendant Is used elsewhere by Luke to designate an of- ficer or servant of the synagogue in Nazareth (Luke 4:20). "And when they had gone through the whole island". The phrase would seem to indicate that they had preach- ed the gospel in al] the important places throughout Cyprus. "Unto Pa- phos". A seaport near the western extremity of the island, the modern city of Buffo, and the seat of the pro- consul, the administrative centre of the island since its annexation by the Romans in 58 B.C. "They found a cer- tain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar -Jesus." Cf. the record of Simon the sorcerer (Acts 8: 9-25) and of Sceva (Acts 19: 11-16). The word here translated sorcerer simply means wise man. He repres- ented in his single personality both the modern fortune-teller and the mod- ern man of science. "Who was with the prcconsui, Ser- gius, a man of understanding." Cyprus was a province which had become so thoroughly Roman as not to need the. presence of troops, and was governed by a civil magistrate under the rule of the Senate, An inscription was dis- covered at Soloi on the north coast of this island, dated in the proconsulship of Paulus, and probably refers to this very person. A person like the pro- consul, keenly interested in nature and philosophy, would enjoy the so; ciety of Bar -Jesus. "The same called unto them Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God." Cer- tainly this man had heard of the Jew- ish faith and of the doctrine of one supreme holy God. He, like great mul- titudes of other intellectual men of his time, was dissatisfied with the idolatrous and sensualistic religions of the Mediterranean world. 'Tut Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the pro- consul from the faith." The word here translated withstood is used later by Paul (2 Eim. 3:8; 4:15). The word here translated to turn away means to turn aside from the right path, to per- vert, to corrupt. "But Saul, who is also called Paul," This is the first time that we meet the name Paul. Why he should take this name in preference to the name Saul is not known, but we do know that here the great apostle 'is enter- ing upon a new period of life, and a new name could not be taken at a more appropriate time than this. "Filled with the Holy Spirit, fasten- ed hie eyes on him, and said, 0 full ofl all guile and all villainy," The first word has reference to deceit, and the second to innate wickedness. "Thou' son of the devil, thou enemy of all; righteousness." (Cr. John 8:44) There) is hardly a more terrible indictment.! of one man by another in all the Bib'a1 than this fierce denunciation proceed- ing from the lips of the apostle Paul,; "Wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?" The word here translated to pervert is the same word translated in verse eight to turn aside. "And now, behold, the hand of the Lard is upon thee, and thou shalt be, blind, not seeing the sun for a sea sen. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him; by the hand." For the expression the hand of the Lord, see Ex. 9.3; Judgete 2:15; 1 Kings 18:46. "Then the proconsul, when he saw' what was done, believed, being as- tonished at the teaching of the Lord,", So remarkable is the conversion of a Roman proconsul, thus early in the history of the Christian church, that some, including Renan, regard the statement as absolutely incredible. But the narrative, aside from our be- lief in inspiration, is utterly free from any details that would indicate the narrative to be one written out of the imagination of later generation. Sophisticated Air 1913-{3 Sleeping pajamas are so pretty these days. And this model holds true with today's model not only for slim young 1, also for their sisters in the 42but's. The pajama illustrated has a cool, trim neckline with a (minty pointed collar and tricky yoke that extends into a panel for the bodice closing.
