| By Mr. CU^d. A.
la 1735 two brothers sane a
from Engl sad to Georgia as
Missionaries of the Anglican
Cuarch to the settlers and <
Indians there. They were not
fitted for that ministry and
sooo returned home. Charles
Wesley returned in 1737 and
John Wesley in 1738. When
John's ship was caught in a
terrible storm he was fright
? ened. Moravian missionaries,
however, were very calm. One
at them told Wesley that he
vfas not afraid because of
Christ's protection. When he
asked Wesley if he knew
Christ the Anglican minister
-at the moment realized he did
not.
Months later while listen
ing to a man reading Martin
Luther's commentary on Ro
mans. Wesley had a life
changing experience. He
said. "1 felt my heart strahge
ly warmed. I did trust Christ
for salvation." This shakened
man later became the founder
of Methodism.
During Paul's second mis
sionary journey the apostle
and Silas went to Lystra in
Asia Minor and enlisted a
young man by the name of
Timothy. Later while in Troas
Paul had a vision of a man
in Macodonia requesting help
to which Paul responded.
Luke, the physician, joined
them for the voyage. They
worshipped on the Sebbsth
*ne? Ph.ll.ppi with s female
iconvert by the name of LydU
and other women worshippers
One day as the (our men
made their way to a prayer
meeting, a young slave girl
followed declaring them to be
"Servants of the most high
God proclaiming a way of
salvation." After enduriog
this outcry for many days and
realizing the girl's Satanic
possession. Paul was annoyed
and delivered her from the
evil spirit in Jesus' name.
Certain men had been
using the girl's strange pro
phecies for personal gain.
When these exploiters realiz
ed her "powers" had been
dismissed, they dragged Paul
and Silas to the market place
to (ace complaints before a
judge. They did not mention
their real concern but rather
accused these Jews for teach
ing things illegal for Romans.
Even though Rome tolerated
most religions it forbade
trying to convert Roman
citizens. When the crowd
shouted for prosecution the
judge commanded Paul and
.Siia^ 10 be btitcn wd impel
(hem iTtte m^T^u'pn^
and putting their feet in iron
stocks.
Despite the ordeal of pun
ishment Paul and Silas began
to'sing and pray in the oridet
of the rfight. Acts 10:25
states: "At midnight Paul and
Silas prayed and sang praises
unto God and the prisoners
heard them." Other prisoners
listened and suddenly an
earthquake shook the founda
tions. Locks opened, chains
slipped free from crdcked
stone walls and stocks fell
apart.
The prisoners could move
freely. Paul saw the jailer rea
dy to kill himself to avoid the
disgrace of losing his prison
ers. Paul shouted: "Do thy
self no harm for we are here."
Calling for a light, the jailer
rushed into the prison and fell
down before Paul and Silas:
"What must I do to be
saved?" The jailer may have
thought about the threat of
losing his job and life but felt
compelled to respond to the
soners. for apt only had they
praised Ood ie the aridst ot
severe punishment but also
they had refused to rma when
ThT Misstonaries'anawered
him immediately:" Believe on
the Lord Jesus Christ and
thou shalt be saved, thee and
thou house."
Grant teethe to ha Isawadi
1 .Helping others may provide
no personal yeward beyond
tbe joy of helping more. 2.
Worship and witness is pos
sible in all situations and
settings. 3. Believing on
Jesus Is essential to salvation.
