A?! iiai ",a if T fall There is no way by which we can witness for Christ except by living like Christ, doing His deeds, keeping His commandments. It is these things that have awakened the heathen nations. Their work was in Asia Minor, where they founded a church in every city visited; Antioch of Pisidia, leon.. ium, Lystra, Derbe and Perga. In Jerusalem where the facts of His death. and resurrection were best known; the central point of the old dispensation, on which the new was to be grafted. Unto the uttermost part, of the earth. "By uttermost both time and space are included; to the remotest corners of the earth, to the remot- est period of time." First Foreign Missionaries The first foreign missionaries were Paul and Barnabas, with the young John Mark as their assistant. The time was during A.D. 47-49, about 18 years after Jesus' Ascen- sion. And in all Judea, and in Samaria, when the disciples were driven from Jerusalem by persecution. The map of Asia Minor is essential to a clear understanding of what was done by Paul and Barnabas, Their success was more with the Gentiles than with the Jews. Antioch of Syria was in Paul's time the third city-of the Roman Empire, with 200,000 in habitants. It was 800 miles N.W. of Jerusalem, nearly op- posite the N.E. corner of the Mediter- ranean Sea. Here was a small church, chiefly of Gentiles, but with a number ot Jews devotedly at work, being pro- phets and teachers. Among them were Saul (Paul) and Barnabas, a large giv- er and devoted Christian. The Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul tor the work Whereunto I have called them, viz: to be foreign mission- aries. Thee hurch at Antioch needed them, but they fasted and prayed, and Having an ever-living and ever- present King, and the promise of the 'necessary power, the next step was an authoritative Commission a work committed to them by divine ai1thor.. ity. . The places named expressihe order in which the witness should be borne. The power came on the day of Pent- "eeost. It transfigured Peter and the other apostles. It enabled Peter to preach the sermon by which 3,000 persons were won to Christ. It was a growing power. It enabled Paul to build up churches in Asia and Eur- ope. No other power in heaven or earth could accomplish this work. Ye shall receive power. They were to wait on Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit came upon them. They needed more training, they needed to be equipped by the Spirit for service. They needed time for all these teach- ings and strange events to gradually crystallize in their thoughts, and for their souls to be consecrated anew, and open to receive the influences of the 'Spirit; hence they spent the next ten days in prayer and conference. Jesus had endured the crucifixion, bad risen from the dead, and had showed himself alive to His disciples and many others during 40 days to prove that He Was living. Then, hav- ing gone with His disciples to the Mount of Olives, He gave them His final instructions, and while they be: held He was taken up and a cloud re- ceived Him out of their sight. Even the younger scholars can car- ry out in various degrees these three His head to see clearly the great facts,and truths and principles. It will make a successful lesson if the teacher wil train each of his schol- are to' use these three methods in his study of this lesson, and of every les- son.

In Lystra Paul healed a lame man; the missionaries were greeted as gods and an attempt was made to sacrifice to them; Jews from Antioch and Iconium roused the people and they stoned Paul, and left him for dead. In Derbe, whither they then went, Paul and Barnabas preached the gos- pel and taught many. stake, Your neighbors can make one too, Your town will be what you want to see, It isn't the town--it's you, The price of bait has gone up from 500 per hundred to $5 perrhuadred in Midland, owing to the drouth. The next place of work was leo- nium. Here the missionaries spent a, long time, probably several months, and a great multitude, both of the Jews, and the rulers planned to stone Here too a church was founded. At length the Gentiles, the unbelieving Jews, and ther ulers planned to stone the missionaries and drive them away. Becoming aware of the plot they fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Leonie and there they preached the Gospel. In Antioch of Pisidia, whither the missionaries went from Perga, Paul preached to the Jews first, from the story of their ancestors. A church was formed, composed of both Jews and Gentiles, and the Gospel was pub- lished throughout all that region. But opposition arose from the more bigoted of the Jews, persecuting fol- lowed and Paul and Barnabas were expelled from the city. From Paphos in Cyprus Paul and Barnabas sailed for the mainland and came to Perga, the seaport of Pam- phylia. Here Paul had a very trying experience. The lowlands around Perga were full of malaria, and there is reason to believe that both Paul and John Mark were taken sick with the malarial fever. Mark, for this reason, or another, felt that he must return to his home in Jerusalem, and left the party. Paul went on with his work, in spite of his sickness, and felt that Mark should do the same. It took a long time for Mark to regain what he had lost. But he was restor- ed, and became an honored worker in thee hurch. A soldier who has wav- ered in one battle may live to obtain a. glorious victory. The two missionaries, with Mark their assistant, went 16 miles to the nearest port, and sailed souhtwest to Cyprus. Landing at Salamis on its eastern extremity, they passed slowly through the 150 miles to Paphos, on its western extremity, preaching the KOS- pel as they went. Barnabas was a na- tive of Tarsus, not far to the north of the mainland. laid their hands on them accepting them as their missionaries. At Paphos they had some interest- ing experiences. Here they met the Roman proconsul, who desired to hear the word of God. Here they met also a sorcerer, magician, fortune teller, called Elymas, who was deceiving the people and tried to turn the procon- sul from faith in Jesus.
