the great popular religious institution
of Judaism. The synagogue service
had in it the forum element, and gave
a chance for a man with a message to
be heard. Christ made the synagogue
the basis of His preaching, and at the
very outset the carpenter's Son was
invited to speak in His own syna-
gogue at Nazareth. Saul, through all
his missionary labors, whenever he
carne to a new city, started with prea-
ching in the synagogues, where he
was most likely to find ready and at
,least informed hearers. He proclaim-

out also and absorbed Greek and La-
tin culture. His training had made
him a skilful debater, and not a Jew
in Damascus was a match for him.
Proving that this is the Christ. Saul
was learned in the Jewish Scriptures,
and could prove that all the prophe-
cies of the Messiah had been fulfill-
ed in. Christ's life. Froin the Christ-
ians in Damascus he could learn
about the miracles wrought by Christ
and especially about Christ's resur-
rection, on which in his preaching and
writing he laid so great stress as
proving Christ's deity,.

bard to believe that he had really be-
come a Christian. He had been ab-
sent perhaps three years, and had
hidden himself in Arabia and Dam-
ascus, distant regions from which no
news had come of Tirol. Doubtless he
told his story to the Christians, but
it was a strange story and would
seem incredible.
• But Barnabus took him. We have
already heard of •this noble man. He
was :a Levite, and he carne from Cy-
prus, which . was not far from Cilicia.
He may have attended the famous
schools of Tarsus, and there have be-
come acquainted with Saul. More-
over, he was a man of generous tem -

the needy church made evident, and

was driven from the city. Barnabas
probably had independent sources of
information here also.
And he was with them going tin and'
going out at Jerusalem. This was
not a long time, for his visit to Jer-
usalem lasted oxily fifteen days in all,
but during that time he was admitted,
fully into the fellowship of the Chris-
tians in Jerusalem. This understand-
ing was as an anchor that bore all
the strain and stress of parties in the
days that were to Borne, and so was
of priceless value for the union of
Jew and. Gentile in one church of
Christ.
