This city, now called Konich, lay some ninety miles southeast of Antioch of Pisidia. To it Paul and Barnabas came, when forced by the hostility of the Jews to leave Antioch. Here they met with friends, one of whom, by name Onesiphorous, is mentioned in an early Christian story called "The Acts of Paul and Thecla." The Jews of Iconium, like those of Antioch, resented the preaching of Paul and Barnabas to the Gentiles. The salvation they looked for was the revival and restored power and glory of their own race and nation, and it was intolerable to them that there should be proclaimed the coming of a kingdom which was to include the Gentiles as well. It is difficult for us to realize how intensely and passion- ately they felt about this matter, and therefore, how bitterly they o osed Pauls gospel with its univ ap- eal, The unbelieving Jews stirred up trouble, and the multitude of the city was divided. However, it was pos- sible for them to continue a long time to speak boldly, preaching and teach- ing before they were driven from the city by a com! Jews and Gentiles. They went south- ward and eastward to the cities of Lystra and' Derbe. 8-20. At Lystra. The healing of this man, a cripple from his birth, was certainly very wonderful. There is no adequate natural explanation of such an event, 'When the people saw what Paul had done they were so startled and amazed that they thought he and his companion must be gods. they in their excitement broke out in exclamations in their own native Ly- caonian speech which the apostles did not understand. There was a story d atteck of hostile! Paul had used the Greek lan-| guage which they all understood, but | re, in deaths oft. Of the five times received I forty gave one.

Out of such heroic effort the church was born, and by such patient labor and suffering was the gospel carried abroad. 21-28, They returned again, revigit- ng those whom they had led to faith |in Christ, exhorting and encouragin them to continue in the faith, a | helping them to organize themselves into churches that they might carry fon the work when the apostles had |gone.

A true servant of Jesus Christ will seek no horror, and will accept no Lopulasity at the expense of his Lord. en these people wished to honor {Paul and Barnabas by sacrifice, the apostles rent their clothes and res- {trained them. The. true servant of God wants to see God glorified, ani is not thinking of himself. It is said that Rapus), the great artist, was in the habit of wearing a candle in his cap so that no shadow of himself might fall across the canvas while he was painting, We have to be careful lest our selfish desires ob- trude themselves and we forget to honor our Master. Campbell Morgen once said, "Many a prophet has been spoiled by. going out to dinner." Paul and Barnabas meant to put God first, and would not ascept any popularity which would hide the re:l purpose cf their preaching. | 1 Plant Lice and Their Control.
