I? r?:- v:n - . in'the extension of the bT?s^Jap of Christianity.' The standpalters io the old Jerusalem church inly made it hard for those who i ig to follow Christ*? teachings." Persecution was resorted tu in rder to stay the progress of these humanitarian teachings which claimed the crucified and risen Lord as then Teacher. Special hatred centered upon one of the seven deacons, bj the name of Stephen. Again the Sanhedrin was sum mined and Stephen wa< tried. Wher called upon to make ni defense tht opportunity was used to present i formal statement that reviewed tht leading facts in the ministry of Jesu; Christ and how He had been treatec by this same Council. In bold lan guage Stephen charged the Sanhedrir wun rne Killing 01 .jesus. soon sen tence of death was given agains him. also in the hope that the Causi could he stopped by destroying in able proponents. Death was accomplished by ston ing. During the slaying Stephen, liki his Lord, prayed his executioner! might be forgiven. A profound im pression was made by ali these act; on a young man named Saul, whc as a member of the Sanhedrin hat helped in the sentence and furthei assisted as caretaker of the garment! that were laid at his feet by those who did the killing. Such persecution forced many Christians to leave Jerusalem, ami thus the leaven of Christianity was extended over a large area and "a great number turned to the Lord."
